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 The President and the Color Line VOL. XX. The Press and th (From the Springfield Republican) Should I become president of the United States they (the Negro citizens) may count on me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race in the United States.—Candidate Woodrow Wilson. Has the president yet given adequate consideration to the new policy of race segregation enforced in certain of the great administrative departments at Washington? This question must be his to decide, in the last analysis. The departmental orders by certain cabinet officials, or their subordinates, which have had the effect of separating the clerks and employees by a color line having no basis but race prejudice, are necessarily the president's orders, if he does not contermand them. Weeks ago we called attention to the development, and a few other newspapers have also protested. Strong memorials from citizens have been sent to the White House. If the president will not interfere, he assumes full responsibility. Just what the segregation orders have accomplished is described in detail in the last issue of the Congregationalist and Christian World: During the last few months orders have been issued in the treasury and post office departments which require white and colored employees to use separate toilet rooms, to be separated in lunch rooms, and most of the colored clerks in the post office departments have been gathered from the various bureaus and assembled in the dead letter office, in a room where they are separated from white clerks by a row of lockers placed across the middle of the room. One important colored clerd whose location cannot be changed conveniently, has been screened off so as to conceal him from the public view and from his fellow workers. Two or three others have been assigned to messenger service, although having appointments as clerks. Watchmen are stationed at the doors of the toilet rooms to see that colored clerks use the special ones assigned to them on the eighth floor of the post office department building. In addition to the humiliation involved in segregation, thousands of dollars are being lost in time spent in going to the eighth floor from other floors of a great building occupying a city square, although toilet rooms heretofore used are near to all. In the teasury department the toilet rooms assigned to colored clerks are in a corner of the basement, and in this great building similar loss of time occurs. Soon after the issuance of these orders in the treasury department segregation signs were posted. Following a protest the signs were taken down, but verbal warnings affirm that the order is in force. Segregation in work has been begun in the bureau of printing and engraving. Colored clerks who have been reluctant to submit have been admonished sharply, and a state of alarm has spread among the colored employees of all executive departments. The fear that they may lose their positions has led some of those segregated to seek favor from the administration by declaring that they are pleased with the new plan. They dare not protest, but privately they declare their indignation and disapproval. "To subject any Government clerks or employees to public humiliation of the most glaring sort is, in the first place, cruel and inhuman. In the second place, it is obnoxious to the spirit written into the Federal Constitution by the war amendments to draw the color line in the field of Federal employment. In the third place, segregation of this character is most discouraging to an important element of the country's citizenship whose welfare the Federal Government must promote quite as much as that of any other class of citizens. "Why the Republicans in Congress—yes, the Progressives, too—ignore this ominous development in caste distinction at the seat of the Federal Government continues to be a most striking aspect of the situation. The successor of Chas. Sumner in the Senate is dumb, No Congressman from Illinois, the State of Lincoln, raises his voice in protest. No resolution of inquiry has been introduced at either end of the Capitol. "Here is a real cause for criticism of the administration. The question is one of democracy and of human rights in the sense that government approval of these distinctions in its service must dig DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11 1913.

HATFIED PRAISES NEGRO PROGRESS Charleston, W. Va., Sept. 30.—Gov. Hatfield was principal speaker at the unveiling of the bust of Lincoln at the Colored Institute Saturday. Gov. Hatfield said in part: "For two hundered years your race was subjected to the chains of slavery and oppression. In this period of time every human tie that bound your people was destroyed by the bloody, brutal hand of avarice and greed. What if the great emancipator could look upon the wonderful achievements that have been made accomplished by you as a people since his deliverence of your race from the bonds of slavery placed you as a race in a position to conspire and aspire as a free people to the goal of achievements to which every human mind aspires in this great world of human endeavor and energy. "Through the ingenuity of this noble character, Lincoln, upon whose wonderful achievements all nations look with wonder and admiration, you can assure your boys and girls of a liberal education and to them are the avenues of every profession open. Responsible positions have been filled by your people, and to the achievements of the shining lights that represent your race in these positions you can point with pride and admiration. "You can compare the past with the present and look, I am sure with a great deal of pride on the changes that have been inaugurated in the past fifty years and the wonderful strides that have been made toward the education and uplifting of your people. Your accomplishments have indeed been marvelous." TROOPS IN WAR TRIM TRUNDER BY WILSON Washington, Oct. 9. On the broad green meadows that stretch along the Potomac, a gaet cavalcade of Uncle Sam's fighting troopers, their beads bent close to the name and their sabers flashing aloft, charged by the president of the United States today at full gallop in battle formation. President Wilson, members of his cabinet, Supreme court justices the diplomatic corps and the military affairs committees of congress sat in the reviewing stand while the Tenth cavalry, a Negro regimen, the Eleventh and two squadrons of the fifteenth, demonstrated the results of a summer's training at Winchester, Va., in the latest cavalry tactics promulgated by American military experts. --- PLAN BITTER FIGHT ON DISCRIMINATION Washington, D. C., Sept. 30 In a dispatch to the New York Press the paper's Washington correspondent writes that the Negroes throughout the United States are preparing to make a bitter fight against race discrimination before the United States Supreme Court. The Oklahoma and the MarylandGrandfather" constitutional amendments, by which thousands of Negroes have been disfranchised, will be attacked as unconstitutional. An effort will be made to have the Oklahoma "Jim Crow" legislation annulled. An attempt will be made by Tennessee Negro organizations to be permitted to use the name of "Knights of Pythias" for colored lodges as well as white lodges. The local ordinances in Baltimore and Richmond, which limit Negroes to certain residential districts, will also be attacked. Frank Gumm, and J. J. Beal, two election official, have been convicted of conspiring to prevent several Negroes from voting at the Congress election of 1910 in Oklahoma. This was done on the basis that the "Grandfather Clause" was unconstitutional. The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has expressed doubt as to the validity of the clause and has asked the Supreme Court to pass on the question. The Oklahoma "Grandfather Clause" made it necessary for all persons whose ancestors were not qualified to vote in 1866 in this country to be able to read and write in order to vote. In Maryland damages have been recovered against two election officials who refused to permit Negroes to vote. The officials were enforcing the "Grandfather Clause" which prohibited election officials from registering for voting those persons whose ancestors were not qualified to vote in 1868. This law, however, applies only to municipal elections in Frederick, Annapolis and a few smaller American cities. The Oklahoma "Jim Crow" law requires railroads there to provide separate coaches for the whites and Negroes equal in every way in comfort and service. Five Negroes seek to enjoy the railroads from enforcing the law. They lost in the lower Federal courts, which went so far as to hold that railroads need not furnish sleeping cars for Negroes if there was not sufficient demand by Negroes for such accommodation. The federal courts to date have upheld "Jim Crow" laws where provision was made that equal accommodations must be supplied for the two races. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Austin, Tex., Sept 30.—The authorities in charge of the convicts on Harlan farm, where eight men were burned to death recently, mixed up the bodies in sending them home. A mother in north Texas received a case containing what was supposed to be the body of her son, but on opening it the body of a stranger was found. Washington, D. C., Sept. 30 — Representative S. A. Roddenbery of Georgia, one of the arch enemies of the Negro in Congress, is dead. His remains have been interred in the family plot at Thomasville, Ga. Roddenbery belonged to that class of Southern politicians who, failing to attract public attention as a statesman, makes sensational utterances in the halls of Congress against the Negro citizens. The only time Roddenbery got his name in print was by advocating "Jim Crow" cars for the District of Columbia or some other proposition equally as idiotic and un-American. According to physicians, he talked himself to death. As nine-tenth of what he had to say in Congress was against the Negro, his friends think the so-called Negro question proved his undicing. Ralph E. Langston, a prominent local colored Democrat, has been appointed special agent under Revenue Agent John W. Sinsel of the New York Division of the Internal Revenue Department. He will assist in the discovery of violations of internal revenue laws in this district. Mr. Langston assumed his new duties October 1. This is the first Negro appointment under the Wilson Administration that has occasioned general satisfaction, as Mr. Langston has the respect of all elements. Bishop Alexander Walters gets credit for the appointment, which is the first political plum that has been landed under the administration at the instance of a Negro.—New York Age. Washington, D. C., Sept. 30.—I intend to vigorously oppose the conformation of every colored man in minia et for Federal office ex- For several years a fight has been waged between white and Negro lodges of Knights of Pythias in Tennessee over the use of the name. The Negroes have brought the question to the Supreme Court, having lost their case in the courts of Tennessee. NO 6 cept Minister to Liberia," was the statement made today by Senator Vardaman, of Mississippi. The attitude which the Mississippi Senator has assumed, as well as other Southern Senators, has caused President Wilson to hesitate in forming a policy to be pursued in the selection of colored men to office. The clamor at the White House for recognition of the colored race is growing more insistent each day, and the President is sounding sentiment in the Senate as to what he may expect in the future nominations. --- New York, September 29.—Having won an education and a bride in America, Prince Nadika Q. Cele, Jr., of Durban, Natal, Southwest Africa, is arranging to sail on November 1, as a missionary to his people, the Zulus. He will be married October 20 at Danville, Va., to Julia I. Smith, an American Negro girl, who was a student at Hampton Institute. By picking a foreign spouse the Prince saves his father, who is Governor of a province in Zululand, twenty-five or thirty cows, the cost of a Zula wife. The Prince was sent to this country nine years ago by his father, who had been converted to Christianity, and who wanted to give one of his sons a Christian education. As a missionary Prince Nadikano's expenses will be paid by Hampton's Institute. He intends to start a campaign against the polygamous customs of his people, some of whom have from ten to twenty-five wives. --- Joliet, Ill., Oct. 7.—Fifty Negroes and as many white people almost caused a riot in the village of Romeo, near here, this afternoon when the Negroes attacked the wooden jail and liberated Lulu Gibson, a negress, who had been arrested for drunkenness. In the fight one Negro was killed and the little jail was demolished. The woman, found on the railroad tracts, had been removed to the jail, when James Winfield, after calling out all the Negro citizens, led an assault against the jail, which was defended by James Hausen, a village trustee. The Negroes had succeeded in liberating the woman when Hausen opened fire. Winfield was killed and the Negroes dispersed after calls for help had been sent to Joliet. The woman was arrested again. The jail was hastily rebuilt and, with the woman prisoner in it, was kept under a special guard. KEYSTONE CAFE OPEN FOR New Dining Room in Connection to Keystone Social Club.

DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN. The body of a woman, her clothing torn to shreds and tattered about her, was found on a prairie near Argo, Ill. a suburb of Chicago. Dr. Paul E. Reinsch, the new American minister to China, sailed for the Orient from San Francisco on the Japanese liner Tenyo Maru. Eight firemen were injured and $75,000 damage was done in a fire, said to be incendiary, which gutted the press room of the Seattle Times. Hearing of arguments on the appeal of the Structural Iron men, who were convicted in the dynamite cases at Indianapolis, was set for October 28, 29 and 30 in Chicago. The National German-American Alliance at its convention in St. Louis adopted a resolution condemning the attempt to obtain the enactment of a national prohibition law. Raymond D. O'Donnell, an Ogden newspaper man, and son of a former supreme judge of Montana, was found frozen to death in the mountains near Odgen, where he had been hunting. Ten thousand dollars of $13,000 reported stolen from railway mail cars between Seattle and Havre, Mont., was recovered as the result of an investigation by Postoffice Inspector Henry D. Temple of Seattle. The fire that broke out in the Standard Oil Company's plant on the water front at San Diego, Cal., was extinguished. Only one of the twelve tanks, that containing 190 gallons of kerosene, was saved. The loss is estimated to exceed $250,000. Postmaster Arthur G. Fisk of San Francisco, who four months ago announced his determination to resist the efforts of Postmaster General Burleson to remove him from office following his refusal to resign, declared that he would voluntarily resign soon. Miss Ida Leegson, art student, whose nude body was found on a prairie west of Chicago, was killed while resisting the attack of a negro, who robbed her after luring her to the outskirts of the city with a promise of employment, according to the police. According to the report of Comptroller Durke of San Francisco total receipts of the Panama-Pacific international Exposition Company on August 31, the last date at which the books were audited, were a trifle more than $6,000,000 and expenditures a trifle less than $5,000,000. WASHINGTON. President Wilson selected Dr. Arthur Yager, president emeritus of Georgetown College, Georgetown, Ky., for governor of Porto Rico. Political Washington, relieved of the long drawn out consideration of the tariff, will focus its attention on banking and currency legislation. The Republican national committee will meet in Washington Dec. 16 "to confer on party matters and to take any action which may be deemed advisable." The administration currency bill and President Wilson's announced determination to write it into law before December 1. is now the storm center of legislative activity. President Wilson indicated that he did not favor exempting from civil service deputy collectors of internal revenue and deputy United States marshals as provided in the urgency deficiency bill as passed by the Senate. None of Harry K. Thaw's treaty rights as an American citizen were violated when Canadian immigration authorities forcibly deported him a few weeks ago. That was the ruling of Solicitor Joseph W. Folk, of the state department. Details of the deal made between General Huerta and the Catholic party leaders which resulted in the promise of the provisional president of Mexico to support Gamboa as candidate of the clericals, are contained in a letter received from Mexico City. This letter says the clericals agreed to raise $15,000,000 for the Huerta government, the internal revenue to be given as security for the immediate loan. Indignation was unqualifiedly expressed by Senator Simmons, chairman of the finance committee, over the New York report that customs inspectors snatched allegrettes from the hats of women returning from abroad. Assistant Attorney General Samuel J. Graham filed a brief on the behalf of the government in the case of Stratton's 'independence Limited versus F. W. Howbert, collector, now pending in the Supreme Court and involving the right of the government to collect a corporation tax upon "blocked out" ores in the Stratton company mines. FOREIGN General Li Yuen Heng, provisional vice president of the Chinese republic, was elected vice president for a term of five years. Eighteen seamen of the British steamer Gardenia were drowned when the vessel foundered after a collision with the steamer Cornwood. Official denial was given to rumors published in the United States that an attempt had been made to assassinate King Frederick August of Saxony while he was hunting in a forest. Fire has swept the city of Nome, which was devastated by a terrific storm. The flames partially destroyed the Pacific cold storage plant, where was stored the chief supply of meat for the winter. Without firing a shot, federal soldiers took possession of Piedras Negras, erstwhile provisional capital of the Constitutionalists, and ended the victorious march of the government army under General Maas through the state of Coahuila, the home of Venustiano Carranza, revolutionary commander-in-chief. Mrs. Cook, wife of George Cook of Boston and Newbury, died at her London residence, 24 Hill street. Paralysis was the cause of death. She was in her ninetelth year. Formerly Miss Jennie Everett of the well-known Everett family of Massachusetts, she married for the third time at the age of 78, when she became the bride of Mr. Cook, who is 47 years her junior.

Forty thousand frenzied fans saw the Philadelphia Athletics sweep through the defense of the New York Giants for an earned 6 to 4 victory in the opening game of the world series at New York. Total paid attendance of the game was 36,291; total receipts, $75,255. Of this sum the National Commission receives $7,525, the clubs $13,546 each, and the players $40,638. GENERAL. The farmers of the United States will receive in 1913, it is asserted, six per cent. more money for their products than they received in 1912. A speedy trial for the murder of Mrs. Mildred Allison-Rexroat on September 25 at Chicago was promised Henry Spencer, whose confessions of twenty murders, woven by an opium-cloaked brain, dumfounded the police. Burr Harris, a negro, who confessed the murder of Mrs. Rebecca Gay of Los Angeles, told detectives at San Diego he also killed Mrs. M. Haskins of Compon, Cal., some time ago, set the Coronado hotel in Los Angeles on fire and sent poisoned candy to a woman in Los Angeles. The upper portion of a head and an arm of a woman was found at Kingston, N. Y., in a canned goods box in a downtown lot by school children at play. District Attorney Cunningham directed that an examination be made to determine if they are portions of the body of Anna Aumuller. A decision in the contest of the will of the late William Ziegeler, the baking powder manufacturer, who left $15,000,000, made public by Surrogate Fowler of New York, rules against the claim of Florence Brandt Ziegler, whose adoption in 1906 as a child of Ziegler was abregated six years later. Surrogate Fowler denied the young woman's application to have the abrogation decree set aside. Under a decision of the Supreme Court, Josian E. Fernald of Concord, N. H., was ordered to hold as administrator the property of the late Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, the founder of Christian Science, until trustees are appointed by the probate court. Governor Samuel D. Felker of New Hampshire has formally granted the request of William Travers Jerome that decision on the extradition of Harry K. Thaw from New Hampshire be postponed until after the investigation now being conducted by the New York authorities is completed. ROCKY FORD SEED CROP YIELD IN 1913 LARGEST IN HISTORY OF VALLEY. Uncle Sam Sends In an Order for $5,000 for One Colorado Variety. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Rocky Ford.—The seed men in Rocky Ford are busy harvesting the crop of 1913, which will be the largest in the history of the valley. Last year there were 900,000 pounds of seed raised and marketed in Otero county, and this year the amount will go considerably over 1,000,000 pounds. The quality of the seeds is the best this season of any in the history of the valley. For a long time the government has been buying small quantities from the dealers here, and this year one of the seed men has a $5,000 order for one variety from Uncle Sam. The 3,500 acres devoted to seeds are mostly in cucumbers and melons, while most of the seed for all the cantaloupes grown in the United States come from this place. In the larger fields the threshers will be at work for the next two weeks, and a great share of the pulp from the machines will go to waste, but another year, if the proposed plans mature, this will all be used for cantaloupe vinegar. Potatoes Yield $200 an Acre. Greeley.—Superior methods and soil will produce in Colorado this fall a yield of potatoes at least fifty per cent better an acre than the average for the nation. The best growers in this state will net about $200 an acre, while it is doubtful if the average grower in the nation will reach $100. Potatoes are worth $1 a hundred now, with prospects that the price will reach $2 a hundred before spring. Ther are 20,000 acres in potatoes in this state this year, and the latest crop estimate of the Department of Agriculture shows a shortage of 100,000,000 bushels in the nation. The average yield of potatoes in Colorado is 8,000 pounds an acre, while the average for the country is only 5,000 pounds. Lou D. Sweet of Carbondale, who is said to have the best potato farm in the United States, declares that he knows of a seven-acre farm in his neighborhood that will turn out an average of 30,000 pounds an acre this fall. Wife Quits Husband for Rancher. Denver.—Instead of taking steps to induce his wife to return he will file suit for divorce, says George Scherach, a K. & B. packing house employe living in Aurora, whose wife left home about three weeks ago and is believed to have been joined by William Betts, a prominent Arapahoe rancher about fifty years old. Mrs. Scherach is thirty-five years old and pretty. She has been marrier fourteen years. Before Betts left with Scherach's wife he had married Scherach's sister, who is heartbroken over the disappearance of her husband. Betts is well known in Aurora by reason of an extensive butter business he conducted in that section. Alfalfa Growers Plan Expansion Sterling.—Although Logan county is noted principally for its production of sugar beets, wheat and corn, there is ample reason to term it an alfalfa region also, if consideration is given certain figures concerning the growing of this forage this year. In addition to 3,500 tons contracted for by the Alfalfa Meal Mill, the Alliance Alfalfa Hay Company has purchased and shipped from here nearly 10,000 tons this year. Coal Goes Up $1 Per Ton. Denver.—Northern Colorado coals increased in selling price one dollar a ton Monday. Operators give as a reason their inability to meet demand for fuel on account of the strike in southern fields and the increased cost of maintaining mines in the strike districts. Fort Collins Sugar Plant Sets Record. Fort Collins.—The local sugar factory broke all records when 2,411 tons of beets were sliced. Another record was broken when 2,398 tons were handled. The capacity of the factory is rated at 1,200 tons and the officers are very proud of this showing. Sale of Liquor on Sunday Illegal. Denver.—The sale of liquor on Sunday or between midnight and 6 a.m. in restaurants or hotels, with or with out meals, was declared illegal in an opinion of the Supreme Court. Justice Gabbert delivered a dissenting opinion. Boy Stumbles: Woman Shot. NiWot.—Miss Kate Erickson vas accidentally shot in the face by William Davis, 16, when Davis, who was starting out hunting, stumbled and discharged the shotgun. Her injuries are not serious. Seldomridge at Colorado Springs. Colorado Springs.—Congressman H. H. Seldomridge returned from Washington primarily to take up the matter of a new postmaster for this city to succeed Alexander Strachen, Republican incumbent.

Miss Kate Erickson of Ni Wot was the victim of an "unloaded" gun at Boulder and received about a dozen birdshot in her face and neck. The new St. Louis Catholic church at Englewood was dedicated with Bishop Matz, Father Donovan, Father Donnelly and Father Hagus officiating. Denver is expected to send several delegates to the annual convention of the Electric Vehicle Association of America to be held in Chicago Oct. 27 and 28. Robert Harris, sentenced to death for killing Marshals J. B. Craig and Jacob Kipper at Rocky Ford, has been granted a new trial by the Supreme Court. Ovid Plum, for forty-three years a resident of the Greeley district and who lacked only one week of being ninety years old, died at his home after a long illness. Sheriff Sanford D. Buster of Boulder has some sleuthing to do on his own account, as some miscreant stole his kit of tools and the buttons off the electric lights of his automobile. Ida Wilk of Windsor, eleven years old, has confessed to the police that she has taken bits of ribbon, jewelry and valuable trinkets from the homes of neighbors for the last two weeks. For the fourth time in the last two months Mrs. Irene King, twenty-four years old, made an unsuccessful attempt to commit suicide by swallowing bichloride tablets in her room in Denver. Mrs. Jacquemena Russum, who appeared in the District Court at Colorado Springs as co-defendant with Francis W. Keeler, a Denver broker, obtained further postponement of the trial until Oct. 13. Five more Arapahoe county officers were placed on the roll of those indicted by a former grand jury sitting in Littleton, when warrants were served on the mayor and four town trustees of Sheridan. William G. Evans, for years president of the Denuver City Tramway, tendered his resignation at a special meeting of the board of directors in the Tramway building, and his resignation was accepted. Too ill to sit up, Miss Bernice Shirley of Denver was married at Coloado Springs to Henry James, a New Mexico ranchman, culminating a romance begun on her husband's ranch two years ago. Friends of J. S. Dreyfuss appeared before Commissioner Nisbet of Denver and gave bond for his appearance at the West Side Court on the charge of swindling the Hamilton National bank out of more than $29,000. The September report of Denver postoffice business shows an increase of 13.8 over the receipts of a year ago. Last month the business of the postoffice were $105,575.65. In September, 1912; the receipts were $93,575.04. Grief, occasioned by the loss of his fortune during the panic of 1893, caused Jacob H. Smissaert, fifty-eight, ex-member of Holland's royal family, to end his life by swallowing morphine and inhaling chloroform at Denver. The Colorado tax commission recommended to the State Board of Equalization that the assessments returned by county assessors throughout the state be increased $186,551,658, and that of this amount Denver county be increased $101,902,088. Marion McAdam, thirty, an escaped convict and the suspected murderer of Walter Irwin, a ranch hand, near Cripple Creek a year ago, was arrested by Detectives McAuliff and Hollearin, Humane Officer Ransom and Marshal Everhardt of Edgewater. Although he had not heard from his wife for a score of years, John A. Feeley, coal merchant of Hotchkiss, learned quickly enough that she had not forgotten him, when he was served with a warrant charging bigamy, thirty days after his marriage to Mrs. Sylvia Stable, a pretty Hotchkiss widow. Chief Forester Graves practically promised the cooperation of the government with Mesa county in building a road over the Grand Mesa to open up inaccessible timber lands in the Batlement forest reserve. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS rilty years ago Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation freeing 4,000,000 slaves. He did it as 4 war measure, intended to cripple the states of the Confederacy. Today 10, 000,000 Afro-Americans in this country are celebrating the semi-centennial an- niversary of Lincoln's proclamation. What have these 50 years of freedony done for the colored man? A glance over the exhibits shown at the buildings of the Emancipation cel- ebration, at Broad street and Oregon avenue, helps to answer this question. More than 20 inventions, many of which have made their inventors rich men, a library containing 800 books of every description, written by col- ored authors; exhibits educational, medical, industrial and social, all make a striking impression illustrat- ing the native capacity of the African race. The buildings house virtually every type of exhibit shown in the most ad- vanced industrial exhibitions. Perhaps the most Interesting are those show- ing the inventive genius of the color- ed people of this state. Most of these inventions come from the western part of the state, where the foun- dries, coal fields and gigantic factor- jes offer the best opportunity to men who desire their own betterment. S. R. Simmons began life as one of a family of ten, living in a little cottage in Monongahela. He obtain- ed some primary education, but the necessity for taking up the broad struggle was thrust upon him at an early age. He became a laborer in one of the great foundries of the town. That was more than 20 years ago. Today there is scarcely a piece of steel cast in Pennsylvania which is not rendered more perfect by the use of casting of S. R. Simmons’ cast- ing nozzle. Today, in addition to hay- ing invented a number of appliances which materially lessen the labor in the foundries, Simmons is the owner of a foundry in his native town and enjoys the distinction of being the only colored foundry proprietor in the state. Simmons cast the exact model of the Liberty Bell, which is one of the first exhibits seen by visitors as they enter the grounds. This model was made by him expressly for use during the exhibition, and when it is over will be presented to the Bethel Afro- American church at Sixth and Lom- bard streets. This is said to be the only exact reproduction of the Liberty Hell in existence. Simmons made the model himself, doing all the prelimi- nary draughting work and making the mold with his own hands. In the Lancaster county exhibit stand is a small but perfectly made cannon, capable of firing three-inch shells. This gun was made by a colored man of Lancaster, Pa., who has never had any education of a technical nature. Another invention attributed to the same person is a three-barreled repeating rifle. There are numbers of other exhibits in the Laneaster county stand, including specimens of household work, agricul- tural productions and industrial activ- ity. ‘One corner of one of the two build: ings is partitioned off. Within stands the complete equipment of a small newspaper office. Every piece of ma- chinery in this inclosure was made by colored workmen. It is proposed to publish a daily paper with this plant.

Another invention of interest ex- hibited is a model coke-drawing ma- chine, invented and patented by John Hayes, of Uniontown. This machine is at present .in use in most of the large blast furnaces of western Penn- sylvania. It is said that by the use of this invention one man is enabled to do the work of 100, One of the most interesting of the exhibits is the library. In thfs ex- hibit stand the shelves are lined with more than 800 books on every con- ceivable topic written and published by colored persons. Many of these have been lent to the exhibition com- mission by the Congressional lbrary. Others, some 400 in number, were ob- tained from the National library of Haiti through the efforts of Dr. Wil- tam Furness, American minister to Haiti. Many of the works are writ ten in French, German and Span- ish The school exhibit occupies nearly one end of the main building. In this the manual work done by colored students of the following schools is shown: The Durham, Reynolds, Gill, Pollock, Meehan and Wilmot schools in this city, and the public schools of Lancaster, Pittsburgh, Sunbury, Har- risburg and a dozen other Penn- sylvania cities. The work shown in- cludes tables, chairs, stools, desks book racks and shelves and a number of other articles. The Berean Schoo! of Manual and Industrial Training has a separate exhibit showing every type of manufactured article. This is a local institution, whose building is at 1934 South College avenue. Next to the school exhibit is the are gallery. Although the pictures shown are far from being the equal of the mechanical and school ex- hibits in displaying intellectual de- velopment, several are remarkable for an original grasp of their subjects, compensating for the lack of accurate technique. The majority of these deal with racial subjects, denoting allego- rically the advance of the African race in the last fifty years. Unques- tionably the best work shown was by George W. Clinton and Lorenzo Harris, of this city. Both have studied abroad for several years. One of the most interesting of the exhibits was that of the doctors, nurses and social service workers, In one angle of the building was a com- ple:ely equipped “baby saving” show. In another part of the same exhibit a stand was devoted to a series of colored charts showing the progress of the race for the last fifty years. The Berean school is also exhibiting an industrial department. In this 20 girls sit at sewing machines and turn out shirtwaists and other articles of wearing apparel. Another part of this industrial stand is the wood working department where men and boys make furniture before the eyes of the spec- tators.—Philadelphia Record.

Field says there are 250,000 acres idle. The register has particularly in mind 10,000 acres in Montezuma coun- ty and 9,000 in the San Luis valley affected by contracts wtih the state land board. Many persons are said to have purchased land and others to have leased it merely for the purpose of speculation. Don’t Need Game Fund Appropriation. Denver—A saving of more than $40,- 000, which will be turned back into the state treasury at the end of the biennial term, is being effected in the game and fish department of the state. Through the new law requiring a fishing license State Game and Fish Commissioner Shinn has found that he can put his department on a basis that is practically self-paying. In checking up the receipts from these Ii- censes, permits, fines, etc. the com- missioner has found that the game de- partment cash fund for the year amounts to about $25,000, sufficient to pay all current expenses of the de- partment, Shinn believes that only about $20,000 of the total appropria- tion of $60,000 made by the Legisla- ture for the department will be used in the biennial term. The new game law requires that every sportsman, resident or non-resident, who wishes to fish or hunt in the state must take out a combination fishing and hunting license, which costs $1 a year. Women and children under sixteen years are excepted. New Freicht Rates Granted. | Denver.—The State Railroad Com- mission has granted the Denver & Rio Grande railroad permission to publish rates on bituminous coal from Bowie and Somerset to Denver, Colorado Springs, Colorado City, Manitou, Pu- eblo, Minnequa, Blende, Cafion City and Florence. The new rates will be put into effect on account of the ne- cessity of moving coal short distances because of the coal strike. The same company received permission to pub: lish a rate of 5 cents per hundred weight on ties and car lots from Hus. ted to Colorado Springs. The Colo- rado & Southern will announce a rate of 25 cents per ton on slack coal from Berwind to Sopris. ape new rate is made necessary by the toal strike and fs a reduction of 75 cents. Notary Fees to Settlers Abolished. Denver.—Notarial fees are a thing of the past in the State Land Depart- ment under an order issued by Regis- ter Volney Hoggatt. In the past, settlers and lessees of land who have come to the office to make affidavits, applications, acknowledgements, etc., haye been charged a notarial fee of twenty-five cents. It is said that the clerk who has been delegated in for- ‘mer years to act as notary has made $50 to $60 a month in addition to his regular salary paid by the state.

MASSACRE OF ALL SPANIARDS EXPECTED AFTER CAPTURE OF 1ORREON BY REBELS. REPORTED THAT VICTORIOUS IN: SURGENTS THREATEN TO KILL ALL. Western Newspaper Union News Service. El Paso, Tex. Oct. 9.—Federal General Alvarez and his staff and 125 federal soldiers were executed in ‘Torreon, Mexico, under orders of Gen- eral Francisco Villa of the Constitu ‘tonalist forces, according to informa ton from reliable sources brought here. With the city of Torreon, the rebels captured practically all of the Federal arms and artillery. ‘The bat- tle lnsted four days, with heavy losses to both sides. From Mexico City comes the report that with the capture of Torreon by the rebels, rumors became current of & massacre of Spaniards which, if con- firmed, would approach the horror of the massacre of Chinese in tho same city in tho Madero revolution in 1919, It is estimated that there are be- tween sixty and one hundred Span- fards in tho city of Torreon. Refugees who haye communicated with the reb- els in that district declare that it has been a common boast that they would slaughter the Spaniards if they suc- ceeded in capturing the town. Besides Spaniards, there are a num ber of French and German residents in Torreon, Their diplomatic repre- sentatives here are making efforts to learn their fate. Three hundred refugees, many of them Americans, left Torreon before the capture of that city by the Con- stitutionalists and are making their way overland to the berder, according to a dispatch received here. They ara expected to reach Laredo tomorrow. So fav as can be ascertained, none of the foreigners was injujred either while the street fighting was in prog: ress or during the reprisals which fol. lowed the rebel victory, the Constitu: tionalist. commander providing _pro- tection for them, especially the Amer- feans.

The thought causes us to wonder if our churches and their ministers make as much effort along this line as they should. We have long felt that a minister who would devote his active efforts to encouraging temporal improvement among the colored people would be discharging an important duty to God. But many of our ministers appear to believe that the only great question engaging them is the outward success of the particular body they are leading, and that their duty to the general public and the race is only incidental. It seems to us that out of the church should grow many movements designed to put the Negro on higher ground. They ought to urge their congregations to the support of all such endeavors.

The more business we do the more money we will all make. No man who makes less than $70 a month can afford to keep up with the social whirl. We ought to form a society for the prevention of social extravagance. It would be both entertaining and profitable. Our business men, above all, should take this means of helping others into business and give up trying by way of the social route. We are socially spoiled. Our young folks come up imbibing notions that keeps the old folks on the verge of both mental and financial collapse, and one calamity or the other usually overtakes them.

Interesting Hypothesis Also Brings Forward the Pillars of Hercules—Crooked "S" May Be Sald to Represent Wily Serpent. To associate our familiar dollar sign with the poetry of ancient myths and the story of the lost Eden of Genesis seems a far cry, yet if one carefully analyzes the two straight lines crossed with the letter "S," the tradition ap years to have foundation. A study of some of the ancient coins of Tyre and, curiously enough, of modern coins found in Guatemala in Central America, reveals a startling suggestion of the primal basic similarity of our modern signs of prosperity to the symbols of one of the oldest Greek and Roman myths and to the symbols also of the fall of the human race. One of the wonderful feats of Hercules was, according to mythology, the placing of those famous stones stones known as the Pillars of Hercules at the entrance of the Mediterranean sea at the Strait of Gibraltar. Francis Bacon, with a pretty conceit, used as a frontispiece to "The Advancement of Learning" a picture of a vessel in full sail entering between the Pillars of Hercules, which guarded the fountains of knowledge. On a coin from Tyre, which provided some of the furnishings of Solomon's temple there is a curious blending of the sacred lore of the Hebrews and the myths of Greece and Rome, which lends color to the theory that Plato's story of the lost Atlantic was history, really culled from the Egyptian priests, and not fiction, as modern writers have always supposed until Mr. Ignatius Donnelly advanced his interesting hypothesis. On this coin a tree, about which a serpent is coiled, stands midway between the two gigantic stones, the pillars of Hercules, while just below is a seashell, symbolic of the magnetic needle which floated in the cop or seashell which Hercules borrowed from Helios when he went sailing every night, according to the old story. How our dollar sign should have its origin in a combination of the two symbols—the straight lines representing the Pillars of Hercules and the letter "S" doing duty as the wily serpent who tempted Eve, is equally mysterious. The analogy is not so hard to find, however. May not the meaning lie in this fact that money is the strength of the world, without which the search for the fountain of knowledge is arduous if not unavailing, and that it is at the same time the temptation of the human race? This would explain the meaning of the straight lines, representing Hercules' Pillars, and the letter "S," representing the serpent, which tempted the founders of our race to eat of the forbidden fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and which got them and us into all of our troubles! Certainly there is a wholesome warning in the suggestion of the serpent-like "S" twined about the two lines which form our mark of wealth and success—a warning which Solomon found it necessary to give a long time ago, and which our delightful little dollar sign still maintains in its symbolism—"the love of money is the root of all evil!" See Defects in Law Law Notes finds ammunition for a campaign of jury reform in the decision of the jury in a recent homicide case in Kansas City where the jury brought in a verdict of not guilty with the added statement by the foreman, speaking to the accused in behalf of the jury, that "we are all satisfied you are guilty, but we are going to give you another chance." The case is similar to a homicide trial not many years ago in which a jury returned a verdict of not guilty with the statement that while they were all satisfied with the guilt of the defendant they were of the opinion that his guilt was not established beyond a reasonable doubt. To this the trial judge replied that he was unable to see how a jury chosen upon their oath that they had no opinion as to the guilt of the defendant could say they were satisfied of his guilt yet that the evidence did not so satisfy them. This is a defect in the law which is impossible of removal, for the granting of a new trial on the ground that a verdict of not guilty is against the weight of evidence "is unknown to our system of jurisprudence." Left Wife His Bath Robe: A Louisville widow found that when her husband's will was opened he had bequeathed her his bath robe. And these were the words that went with the bequest: "Inasmuch as she has deprived me so often of the comfort and convenience of the garment that was bought for my own personal use, by wearing the aforesaid bath robe at times when I desired and needed it most, I bequeath it to her with all my love and hope she will ever find it the same tried and faithful servitor even though Providence should bless her with another husband who may have a bath robe to spare."

Deep Plowing Will Do Much to Control Common White Grubs of This Bug Which Attacks Growing Crops. Washington.—A very conservative estimate places the damage to corn, timothy and potatoes in Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois done by the common white grubs in 1912 at not less than $7,000,000. This estimate resulted from a personal survey by John J. Davis, scientific assistant, bureau of entomology, whose interesting pamphlet on the "Common White Grub" was recently issued as Farmer's Bulletin No. 543 by the department of Agriculture. The damage to the same crops in other infested areas cannot be figured at less than $5,000,000, which brings the total loss, exclusive of strawberries, nursery stock, lawns and miscellaneous crops to not less than $12,000,000 for one year. Injury was sustained in almost every section of the country north of the Ohio river from the Atlantic ocean to South Dakota. Observations seem to make it quite certain that in the northern states the total life cycle of this injurious species is three years. May beetles were unusually abundant in 1908 and 1911 and the grubs caused the greatest damage in 1909 and 1912. There is a general belief, which is erroneous, that the common white grubs of the field and the white grubs found in manure heaps and rotten logs are identical. The grubs of May beetles are not known to breed in refuse of any kind. The grub of the southern green June beetle is also commonly mistaken for the more serious pest. The grub of the June beetle seems to prefer fertilized soils and may also be distinguished from the true white grub by its peculiar method of crawling on its back. Farmers in the regions infested last year will find it of special value to do deep plowing this fall. Ordinarily the best time to plow is between October 1 and October 15. The grubs will at this time have changed to pupae and adult beetles. These pass the winter in cells, and if the cells are disturbed their inhabitants will be destroyed. It is important to remember that plowing should not be delayed until cold weather, for then the grubs will have gone down to their winter quarters beyond the reach of the plow. An infested field may be thoroughly freed from grubs by pasturing it with hogs, and this method should be followed wherever possible. Hogs will root to a depth of a foot or more in search of grubs. For infested lawns hogs are efficacious, but are not usually desirable, as they tear up the sod. Domestic fowls—turkeys in particular—are preferable for lawns, and if given the run of infested fields when the land is being plowed will destroy large numbers of grubs. Pasturing of hogs to root out these grubs should not be delayed later than the middle of October nor practiced earlier than April or May, since in winter the grubs are probably too deep in the ground to be reached. The May beetles usually deposit their eggs in fields of grass, timothy and small grains, especially in the vicinity of timber where they feed. The crops planted in these fields the year following a season of beetles should be those least susceptible to grub injury. Such crops are small grains, buckwheat, clover, alfalfa and peas. There is no authentic record of the grub attacking these crops. In 1914 a maximum acreage of such crops as corn and potatoes should be planted, as this will be in general a season for beetles rather than grubs. These should be kept thoroughly cultivated during the flight of the beetles (May and June). Land which is planted to small grains, timothy and other crops, which cover the ground with vegetation at this time should be planted in fields farthest from trees. Liberal applications of commercial fertilizer will assist grass in overcoming grubs if there are not too many of them. When a lawn is badly infested the sod should be removed and the grubs gathered by hand, after which fall plowing will probably prove satisfactory. In Europe cheap labor is often employed to gather grubs after the plow, especially where the grubs are numerous. WILL PRECANCEL STAMPS. Precanceled stamps are to be sold to the public, an order to this effect having been signed by Postmaster General Burleson. By the operation of this order it is expected that a saving of approximately $200,000 per year can be effected in the operating expense of the post office department. Precanceled stamps are those which bear the name of the post office at which matter bearing them is mailed. The name appears between two heavy black lines. The canceling is done by means of a special machine, and by the use of such stamps it becomes unnecessary to pass each piece of mail through the canceling machines. To cancel the number of stamps now used each year in this manner, it is stated will cost about $10,000, while if the stamps are not canceled until placed on the matter to be mailed the cost would approximate $250,000. The precanceled stamps are to be valued for postage for any point only when matter bearing them is mailed at the office of precancellation; that is, stamps precanceled at Washington will not be good on any matter mailed outside the delivery limits of Washington. Formerly the use of such stamps was not permitted unless at least 2,000 were sold at one time, to be used on pieces of mail identical in size and class. Postmaster General Burleson's order removes these restrictions, and is considered another great step forward toward making the postal service thoroughly efficient. SAVED HIS BACON. A very funny thing happened in the United States senate the other day. The vice-president was not able to be present, and knowing this, had informed Senator Clark of Arkansas that he had appointed him president pro tem, of the senate, and that he would have to preside. Senator Clark forgot all about this, and, needing a shave, went into the barber shop to get it. His face was well lathered and one side shaven when the Arkansas senator happened to remember his commission to preside. The clock began to strike the noon hour just as he thought about it. With a bound he was out of the barber's chair and had rubbed the lather off his face with the towel that was about his neck. He rushed up the stairs without waiting for the elevator, and got in just in time to whack the little ivory cube and call the senate to order at the last stroke of 12, which one might call "a close shave." In all probability, the glass medallion roof of the United States senate chamber would have fallen in if the 12 strokes had echoed through that cavern of brains and the ivory cube had not battered the call to order. Such a thing never has happened, so, of course, there is no precedent by which one might go into the matter, but Senator Clark saved his bacon just the same. GREENBACKS IN FLIGHT. At the height of the July storm a man in the bureau of engraving and printing dropped 500 $200 bills on his desk and tugged at a window to close it. He succeeded all right, but the aforesaid 500 bills went sailing across the room and through another window. The greenbacks could be seen aeroplaning in all directions. As soon as the fury of the storm spent itself a searching party was instituted to recover as many of the bills as possible. Most of them were found, some near the Potomac river. The rest were given up as lost, but spread of the tale that $1,000 had been strewn along the mall and river front soon brought crowds of messenger boys and not a few tramps searching for the golden harvest. Many more were recovered in this manner, but failed to reach the bureau again. When the messengers and tramps tried to spend their wealth they found that the bills were worthless. They did not bear the signature of the treasurer of the United States and the register of the treasury. The serial numbers were also lacking. U. S. LEADS THE WORLD. There are now, according to interstate commerce commission experts, over 633,000 miles of railway on the globe, of which 451,000 miles are operated by private companies and the rest by states or nations. The mileage, by leading countries, is: United States, 241,000; Germany, 38,000; Russia, in Europe, 37,000; British India, 32,000; France, 30,000; Austria-Hungary, 38,000; Great Britain, 23,000; Canada, 25,000; Mexico, 15,000; Brazil, 13,000. The total by continents is: North and South America, 327,000; Europe, 207,000; Asia, 63,000; Africa, 23,000; Australasia, 19,000. Of the European total 107,000 miles are state-owned. In the Americas 12,000 miles are state-owned, of which 1,700 are in Canada, the balance in South America. In Asia the state-owned roads total 27,000 miles; in Africa, 13,000 miles; in Australasia, 18,000 miles. In France in less than 50 years the concessions to the companies will expire and the great railway systems will become state property. The Mexican government is said to hold a controlling interest in the 8,000 miles of the National railways of Mexico. WANTS JOB AS DIATICEFF. What is a diaticeff? A man down in Rockmart, Ga., says he wants a job as one of them in the government service. The post office department received this letter from him: "Postmaster General—Der Sir, I want a job with you all. Say I want a job of diaticeff. You writ soon to me. I sure wont me a job with you all. My age is $27\frac{1}{2}$ years old. Your kind friend." The name of the postmaster general's kind friend is suppressed. One guess at the department is that "diaticeff" is Rockmart for detective. Uncle Sam Neecs Twine. Some idea of the amount of mall handled by the post office department and the energy required to prepare it properly for delivery is conveyed in a call issued by Postmaster General Burleson for bids for 2,200,000 pounds of twine with which to tie up letters Meek Retort.

RICHEST MAN IN HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES CONGRESSMAN CAMPBELL'S ARDENT ADMIER CONGRESSMAN CAMPBELL'S ARDENT ADMIER ELEANOR WILSON ACTS TO PROTECT BIRDS WIFE OF LIEUT. JOHN ALEXANDER LOGAN III Although William Kent of California is credited with being the richest man in the national house of representatives, the size of his appropriation for clothes and personal adornment is a constant source of grief to all his friends and playmates. Just to see Kent paddling blithely along the street wearing, among other things, an iridescent coat which might have been blue some time back in 1900, and a hat that in the national house of representatives, the size of his appropriation for clothes and personal adornment is a constant source of grief to all his friends and playmates. Just to see Kent paddling blithely along the street wearing, among other things, an iridescent coat which might have been blue some time back in 1900, and a hat that will probably hold together, unless it rains, is a post-graduate course in how to save money on wearing apparel. One afternoon Kent dropped into the state department to keep an engagement with Secretary Bryan. It was after the regular hours for receiving visitors in the building, so that he was promptly held up at the entrance. "I'm Mr. Kent of California, to see Secretary Bryan," Kent explained. The watchman took the message to the captain, who peered round his desk. He saw a curious looking individual, needing a shave, a shine and a haircut, dressed in clothes of a half-forgotten style that apparently hadn't Representative Philip Pitt Campbell tells an amusing incident that happened when he was running for the office of member of the board of education out in Pittsburg, Kan. Among the most ardent admirers and strongest partians was a son of Erin by the name of Jack O'Brien. Jack was a character around town, who claimed residence in Campbell's ward, slept in the rear of a saloon in another ward, and ate he was running for the office of member of the board of education out in Pittsburg, Kan.

Jack was a character around town, who claimed residence in Campbell's ward, slept in the rear of a saloon in another ward, and ate wherever the "wet goods" dispensers made the most inviting display of free lunch. One day, shortly before election, he came into Mr. Campbell's office and, with an aggrieved expression on his face and with a broughe of richest verdure, relieved himself of the following outburst: "Begor, Misther Campbell, I was insulted a while ago over be that pla-ace," pointing across the street to a saloon.

Miss Wilson was slightly nervous at first, but this feeling wore off, and she made a good impression on the audience. President Wilson was highly pleased. The play was well received. It is at once a protest against the slaughtering of birds for millinery purposes and an approval of the feather provision in schedule N of the tariff bill. The play, which is garbed in symbolical language, was presented in a sylvan glade of which Quercus, a faun, is guardian.

Then the captain went into a hurried consultation with his watch. Meantime, Kent was outside in the hall, shifting from one foot to the other, waiting patiently on the theory that maybe the present watch had never seen him before and was looking him up in the Congressional directory. At last a quiet, watchful, pleasant-spoken young man came out and cordially asked Kent to take a seat in "the reception room," while a messenger could be sent up to let the secretary know he was here. In "the reception room" Kent met several other quiet, watchful, pleasant-spoken young men, who all seemed in a very talkative mood, and very inquisitive as to Kent's affairs. Then, all of a sudden, as Kent got a flash of a 'tin star under one young man's coat, it came over him what was up. "Mr. Kent of California," who "had the engagement with Secretary Bryan," was pinched for a "nut" and held under observation! He "didn't look good." "By the way," he said, sort of off-hand, "you might have my card taken up to the secretary, instead of just sending up my name." He pitched over one of his official cards, and as a guard picked it up Kent could see the man's eyes pop. Kent was upstairs and in Bryan's office within 15 seconds. He never said anything about the mistake at the door, and to this day the watch doesn't know that Kent is wise. air yez goin' to vo-oote for for me board of education?'

Quercus is sent away by Shy, and the poet and naturalist are discussing the heart of nature when Shy suggests that it would be possible for man to comprehend the speech of birds if it were not for Stark, the plume hunter. The two summon Tacita, a dryad, for advice, and she invokes Ornis, the spirit of birds, played by Miss Wilson. Tacita is treading a dance of invocation when gunshots are heard and a wounded bird falls to the ground. Tacita and Ornis falls. Ornis is garbed as a bird; she is wounded, but has recovered and is addressing Shy and Alwyn when Stark, with barking dogs, bursts in. He becomes insolent when he is upbraided for pursuing his game into the bird sanctuary. Alwyn and Shy are about to let him depart, cursing, when Alwyn decides on a way to change Stark's nature. He summons Tacita, who begins to weave about Stark a dance of revelation. Stark follows Tacita to Ornis and recognizes her as the bird spirit for the first time. He is dazzled by her beauty, and Ornis makes an appeal to him. Stark is overcome by morse and joins the poet and naturalist in a compact to struggle together for the freedom of birds. ernor of Ohio to the lieutenantship of the Fifth Ohio artillery.

Ninety Degrees Below Zero in Siberia, 124 Above in Algeria, the Authenticated Extremes—Most Equitable Along Seacoast. Plants and animals cannot exist in temperatures far higher or lower than those to which they have become accustomed, while man moves from one extreme to the other with, for the most part, but little physical discomfort. Explorers will visit the sands of Africa and the bleakness of the Arctic circle and return to normal environments even improved in physical condition. Man inhabits about every part of the earth except a few island regions in the interior of continents and immediate vicinity of the poles. It is from dread of climatic conditions that his tent has found no more than a temporary resting place in some of these far distant spots. It is not thought that the heat or cold of any of the unexplored regions of the globe has a greater range of temperature than regions now inhabited. Science reasons that the lowest temperatures at the earth's surface are not found directly at the poles, but at some distance to the south of the north pole and to the north of the south pole, says a writer in the New York Sun. Likewise the greatest degree of heat is not, as might be supposed, to be found at the equator, but prevails at some distance to the north and to the south of that imaginary line. The coldest place on the earth's surface of which there is authentic record is in Siberia. The lowest temperature ever recorded in the open air was 90 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) at Werechjansk, central Siberia, on January 15, 1885. The highest temperature of which there is an authenticated record is 124 degrees above zero (Fahrenheit), in Algeria, northern Africa, on July 17, 1879. These places of extreme heat and extreme cold give a range of temperature covering the whole inhabitable world of 214 degrees, or two degrees more than the zero to the boiling point. In the United States the lowest temperature ever recorded in winter is 64 degrees below zero in North Dakota, and the highest ever recorded in summer is 115 degrees above zero in Arizona. This gives a total range of 179 degrees within about 1,000 miles. There is an authenticated report from Aumale, an outpost of the Algerian bad lands, which gives a temperature record in the open air of 172 degrees above zero (Fahrenheit). This if correct exceeds by 48 degrees that of the highest on record. It is also stated that the temperature at this place rarely gets down to 140 degrees. On one or two occasions it dropped to 120 degrees and the natives shivered with the cold. Strange as it may seem, the death rate of French soldiers stationed at this post is lower than that at more northerly places having equable temperatures. People who inhabit these places of extreme heat and cold are found to be exceptionally healthy and live to a ripe old age. While men in all parts of the world make their homes in these exceptionally hot or cold places and move from one to the other without any apparent physical discomfort, it is found that animals or plants which would flourish in one could not survive in the other. In the United States the extreme range of heat and cold is not so great but one may live in comparative comfort in any section; yet the same conditions apply to animal and plant life as prevall throughout the rest of the world; animals and plants that survive the winters of the south could not endure the winters of the north. The greatest of the extremes of heat and cold in this country are found in the western states, from the Dakotas and Montana southward to Texas and Arizona. The temperature in the northwest during the winter months frequently drops to 30 or 40 degrees below zero and occasionally runs below 60 degrees, while the heat of summer in the central west and southwest touches 100 degrees or higher. Regardless of such extremes the climatic conditions throughout the entire Rocky mountain range are delightful for ten months of the year. The most equable temperature throughout the year in the United States is found along the seacoast. Nearly two-thirds of the entire population lives in seacoast cities. People may complain of a few blustery and unusually cold days in winter and of a few sweltering hot and humid days in summer, but with all things considered the Atlantic seacoast from Florida to Maine is about as desirable a place of residence as any part of the world. "Say, Maria, I came away in a hurry this morning and forgot to take the ice card down from the front window. Will you—" "Pardon me, sir, but this isn't Maria and you've evidently got the wrong number—but you are quite right about the ice card not having been taken down from the front window. I'll attend to it at once. Thank you, sir, whoever you are. Good-by." MATTERHORN FILMS Climbers Risk Their Lives to Procure Them. Victory Meant Fifteen Hundred Feet of Thrilling Views for European "Movies"—Operator Dangled Over 3,500 Foot Precipice. The Matterhorn is one of the Alpine giants that is treated with great respect by even the most experienced climbers. When Whymper made the first ascent in 1865 Lord Francis Douglas and three others of his party were killed by falling 4,000 feet, and since then accident has succeeded accident. The form of the mountain inspires awe. A steep pyramid in shape, it rises 14,795 feet in a series of tremendous precipices. On all sides it stands menacing, its overhanging crags defying the amateur, writes the Paris correspondent of the Detroit Free Press. When I suggested cinematographing the mountain there were smiles of derision. We made arrangements to leave Zermatt on the morning of July 1, and sleep that night at the Matterhorn cabin at 10,000 feet. The news spread through Zermatt like a prairie fire and when we started early in the morning a considerable crowd was out to see us off. There were five of us. My first guide was Gabriel Zumtaugwald, who has been in the Himalayas with Mrs. Bullock Workman, who holds the world's record for altitude for women; and with Miss Annie Peck, the American climber, on Mount Huscaran in Peru. The second guide was Heinrich Julen, a very capable man, while the task of carrying the cinema camera and tripod fell to the lot of David Biner and Franziskus Tangwalder, who accomplished a feat of endurance rare in Alpine history. One may imagine us, ascending a steep granite ridge with precipices on either side falling almost sheer to the glaciers below. In the gloom the crevassed ice appeared a dull gray beneath, while above the mountain itself now and then blotted out the stars. In one place while paying close attention to toffolds I nearly cracked my skull on an overhanging ledge above. Arriving at the "shoulder," we found wind in violence amounting almost to a gale. From the expression on the faces of the guides I could see they thought the game was up. So strong was the air current that we were in imminent danger of being blown off the mountain and used every precaution known to mountaineers to prevent such an accident taking place. It was too cold to remain long still, so I prepared to cinematograph the ascent of the shoulder, keeping one guide with me and sending the others before the camera. To do this I was roped "in safety" behind a projecting rock. The guide helping me placed himself below, where he could brace the tripod and hold me by the knees. It was a delicate thing to remain poised on such a slope and take a picture where a slip would have precipitated us both some 3,500 feet below. The extreme concentration needed to get the picture I wanted prevented me from thinking of the abyss at my feet. Occasionally in the rocks one is forced to turn, lie on his stomach and then descend clinging by the toes and finger tips as best one can to the crags. Not knowing the mountain as well as the guides, there was one place where the handholds were doubtful, and after starting to negotiate the passage I could find no foothold, search as I might. I was practically dangling over a precipice. I called out to Julen, who was above, to hold the rope tight, and simply dangled down to where I could again get into secure contact with the mountain. In these bad places the last guide down resorted to what is called the "corde de rappel," that is, doubling his reserve cord behind a rock above and after using it to descend hauling it in by pulling on one end only. We passed over the difficult places with considerable rapidity, but never once did any one take chances with the mountain. Had any one slipped he would have been held by the others—unless unfortunately the rope had broken. The Matterhorn was cinematographed from Zermatt to the summit—1,500 feet of film taken—so what mattered it if we were half frozen and too tired to eat? Worse Than Dynamite. The word "fire" on the East side is worse than dynamite. The other day a thief grabbed a $2 bill from a woman in one of those double-decked tenement houses, where more than 300 people are housed. The only English word she knew was fire and she screamed it at the top of her voice. The 36 families in the house immediately poured out of their apartments to the street, yelling fire in six different languages. In the excitement some one turned in a fire alarm. This brought five fire engines, three hook and ladders, a fire patrol, two battalion chiefs, a deputy chief, 50 policemen and 10,000 spectators. What other city in the world could cause so much excitement over the loss of a $2 bill? It might be added that the thief made his get-away.—New York Press. The Reason. "Why do you managers try your plays on the dog?" "Because we want to find out if they can make a howling success." STOOL ALWAYS IN KITCHEN Woman Has Found Article So Useful She Would Not Think of Ever Being Without It. "I simply couldn't get on now without a kitchen stool," says a woman who does her own housework. "It's a high desk stool. When I sit on it before the kitchen table I am well up on a level with the table. I sit perched on it for almost all my kitchen work, and words cannot tell how it has saved me from getting tired. "Most women stand all the time that they are doing their work in the kitchen. Sometimes they will sit down in a chair, but are quickly up again, as a chair is too low to let one work conveniently at a table. Seated in a chair, one has to lift one's arms up to work on the table, and this is tiring and awkward. On my high stool I have command of my table and use my hands and arms naturally. "I had a lot of sandwiches to make yesterday for a picnic. I had the work done in no time without getting a bit tired doing it, thanks for the stool. If I hadn't had the stool, I should have had to make the sandwiches seated in a chair straining my arms bending over my work, tiring my back and feet. "My high stool goes with me to the sink when there are dishes to wash. Yes, I sit down to this task, distasteful to most women, and I do not find it the hard chore I used to. My whole body is in a restful position while I am doing it. "I use my high stool at the stove, too. I sit on it while I am busy with cooking that involves stirring, skimming and watching, while I make pancakes, waffles and such." My high stool has reduced the fatigue of my housework to a wonderful degree. My advice to any woman who has to do her own housework is to get one quickly. They are inexpensive, yet worth their weight in gold as a saver of strength. SEE THAT TIN IS PERFECT Easy for Housewife to Tell Condition of Canned Foods—How to Open the Can. All of the trouble that the housewife has with canned foods is caused by imperfect tin cans or difficulty in opening the can. Occasionally the solder used in making the can does not run evenly, causing a very slight hole, which allows the air to gradually leak into the can, resulting in an accumulation of gas and spoilage of the contents. Such cans always show the presence of gas by puffing or swelling at the top or bottom. Before opening a tin of canned goods of any kind, whether they be packed at home or not, you should examine the top and bottom, and if they are convex or puffed it is a sure indication that the contents is spoiled and should be discarded. If the can is perfect you can be sure that the contents are in perfect condition. In opening, remove the label so that you can see the seam on the side of the can; lay the can on its side and insert the can-opener right next to this seam and very close to the top. Now hold the can firmly on the table in an upright position and work the can-opener away from the seam until you have cut entirely around the can. You will then be able to turn back the entire top, and if the can is held firmly there is no danger of cutting the hands and the fruit will not be mutilated when it is poured from the tin. Individual Dressed Tomatoes. Individual Dressed Tomatoes. Take five large tomatoes that are perfectly ripe but firm and smooth, peel them, cut in halves, take out most of the pulp and seeds, being careful not to break the outside. Make a French dressing of one tablespoonful of strong vinegar, three tablespoonfuls of salad oil, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a saltspoonful of pepper; mix the pulp and seeds with the dressing, return to the halves of tomatoes, set each half on a fresh leaf of lettuce on an individual dish and serve. Cucumber Pickle. Take 12 cucumbers, wash and scrub thoroughly. Slice very thin, without peeling. Put in a granite saucepan, with a scant cup of salt sprinkled between layers. Let it remain in a cool place 24 hours. Drain off liquid, chop very coarse six good sized onions, add to cucumbers. Mix up well. Cover with good elder vinegar and eight tablespoons of olive oil. Mix in two ounces of celery seeds and one ounce each of yellow and white mustard seeds. Stir all together. Spotless Linen. To remove a spot that is liable to be made on a clean tablecloth, fold a towel smoothly under the spot and put a bowl under it beneath the soiled part of the cloth. Pour boiling water through, a little at a time, until the stain disappears. Soak up part of the water with another towel and lay the wet piece smooth on the under towel. Cover and dry with a hot iron. Pepper Relish. Take two heads of cabbage, chopped fine, four large onions, eight or nine green and red peppers, celery and mustard seed, one cup sugar. Mix cabbage and peppers together and salt well. Let stand over night. Drain well, mix all together and cover well with vinegar. Not cooked. Suggestions—Put in more onions and less cabbage, celery and mustard seed mixed, five cents' worth.

It is developed in corduroy, fancy corded velvets, plushes and heavy materials woven for such garments. But plushes and velvets come in light weight weaves as well as heavy, and if one of these is to be used the coat must be provided with an interlining. A soft lightweight flannel- SIR ette or some such pliable and warm goods, will give the coat body and warmth. The lining material for these garments must stand the hardest wear. If they are to last as long as the outside it is worth while to use a good quality of mohair. There is not much economy in attempting to make heavy outside garments, like these coats, at home. The manufacturers have reduced their making to such a science and are able to buy materials in great quantities Prevailing Fad for t JUST now there is a fad for neckpieces made of net or net and lace combined. The sailor collar alone, or combined with fichu ends and finished with frills is "going" like a tornado. They are dainty and easily made—or, when bought ready made, they cost very little. The net and lace are so soft that they are easily adjusted to coat or dress, and that difficult matter of fitting he collar cuts no figure in these pieces. Plain nets and all the dotted varieties are used for the collar and fichu ends. Plain net is used in combination with figured net and is especially liked in the frills of narrow side plattings with which the collars are finished. Besides the various nets, all the light, inexpensive laces are brought into requisition for these accessories, and there is no end to the combinations of net and lace in making them. It is a matter of the choice one makes from hundreds of appropriate patterns. The sailor collar should be made of the fabric doubled, if a very thin net is chosen. When the sheerest laces are used, net is posed under them, to give sufficient body for shapelliness. In making up firmer nets this is not necessary. A well-fitting pattern should be procured and the net or lace should be basted to the pattern until the neck binding is sewed on. This keeps the lace from stretching out of shape. --- at prices so much lower than others can, that it is best to buy the winter coat of a dealer. The cost of production is figured down to the lowest point, machinery working with great speed and the efficiency of experts in all departments combine to reduce the selling price of such garments. One is fairly certain of good style in them, too, for it is the life business of all who produce them to make them excellent in style and up to a high average in workmanship. Therefore the ready-made coat from a reliable manufacturer is to be recommended. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Merry Thought Rings Surely a more appropriate and happier idea than the merry thought napkin ring could not be imagined. But it has its limitations, for never must it be broken, in order to follow out the old superstition of extorting the granting of a wish from Fortune. The ring is made of silver, and perched on the merry thought is a silver gilt grouse, while a dog, hot on the scent, is the decoration of another. The silver gilt grouse appears as a menu holder, with a slit cut down the middle of the back to hold the card, and there are also dogs, horses, stags and other objects which answer the same purpose. They are very pretty little ornaments, standing an inch or so high. The grouse is obtainable also as a desk seal or paper weight, so that as well as eating it, it can be looked on as an ornament. Lingerle Cupboard. The bride, to be up-to-date, should have a cupboard full of shelves as well as a bureau full of drawers to accommodate her lingerie. And these shelves must be fitted with an edging of ribbon and lace and chiffon, put on in the manner of pantry shelf paper. This edging costs, according to the elaborateness of its pattern and the fineness of its material, a goodly price. But it can be made less expensively. It consists of a strip of satin ribbon, or a hemmed strip of satin, about three inches wide. Over this lace is pleated, and the two are fastened together with chiffon roses or little satin flowers. The edging is tacked on the edge of the shelves under the little flowers. Thumb tacks can be used for the tacking. the Frilled Neckpiece A blas fold (double) is used for binding the neck, and is a half inch wide when completed. A strip two and a half inches wide is needed to make it, since it is doubled, and a little allowance is required for turning in and sewing. After the binding is sewed on the basting stitches are cut and the pattern removed. The fichu ends are made of straight pieces gathered into a binding at the bottom and into the sailor collar at the top. Sometimes lace motifs or insertions are sewed in the net, which is cut away under them. Very narrow finishing braid or cord is often used to head the plaiting where it is joined to the collar. But the narrowest lace insertions are liked best for this purpose and are stitched over the net. A collar of this kind can be made for fifty cents or less. Nets are wide, some of them, like point-de-esprit, may be bead in two-yard widths. The frills on most of the collars are not hemmed. It is a little tedious to lay the narrow knife plaitings but the play is worth the candle. For a plain gown or coat embellished with a collar of this kind for a finish takes on a degree of smartness and freshness quite out of proportion to the time one spends in making it. Just now there is a fad for neckpieces in which the sailor collar and this collar and fichu ends are combined. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. --- PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PH ONE YORK 7992.
