Washington, D. C.
There is borne in upon me in connection with this splendid gathering, the fact that Americans generally seem determined to reject the evidences of our interdependent racial progress.
We will not recognize the great trend; we do not seem to realize that progress is the order of the ages. Certain it is however that here and there, in the history of races and nations, advance has been checked and development delayed if not destroyed.
Invariably, if the course of such decadence is sought, it has been found in the vicious, idolatrous and immoral lives of the people themselves.
build the Epic of a race.
The average person scarcely realizes in what a large degree this Negro soldier of America is the most dependable asset of his race in its struggle for a broader view and a wider civic opportunity. The legislative assassins of Negro progress, with jaundiced eye and savage bitterness, neglect no opportunity to hurl their shot of saitire and detraction at every object which boasts a color that is healthy and an appetite that is substantial.
The Negro soldier alone, is permitted to escape, for altho the gun is now and then aimed in his direction it is poised at such an angle
Cruelty, injustice and persecution in the pathway of a loyal, virtuous and ambitious people have been nothing more than a temporary check in their progress towards the hill-tops of civil and political privilege.
The story of the American Negro as its further chapters shall be added promises to offer no exception to this rule.
Coming from the depths of barbarism, thro a midnight of slavery, the friendly hand of Omnipotence guided him into the sunlight of a glorious enfranchisement. Bewildered and almost blinded by its dazzling splendor, with trembling prayer he groped his way until accustomed to the glare, when, with vision clear and strength of limb he upward bravely toiled. His achievements measured by the best the world has done, represent the high-lights of growth and progress which typify the capabilities of our human-kind and with which no others may be compared. A more forceful evidence of a wonderful racial development may scarcely be found in any age than in this large body of brave and loyal men, trained to the minute in the essential intricacies of the art and practices of modern warfare, whom we are proud to honor here tonight.
The display of their daring courage and intrepid valor, no less than that of their heroic brothers of the splendid Ninth, form a treasure-house of tales of camp and battle-field, on which some black Homer in coming days may

build the Epic of a race.
The average person scarcely realizes in what a large degree this Negro soldier of America is the most dependable asset of his race, in its struggle for a broader view and a wider civic opportunity. The legislative assassins of Negro progress, with jaundiced eye and savage bitterness, neglect no opportunity to hurl their shot of satire and detraction at every object which boasts a color that is healthy and an appetite that is substantial.
The Negro soldier alone, is permitted to escape, for altho the gun is now and then aimed in his direction it is poised at such an angle as to carry the shot safely over his head, and an interesting exhibition of noise and bluster is the only result. The Negroes active and honorable participation in his country's affairs as soldiers seem to be alone not resented and not challenged. It is to be regretted that not nearly so favorable an attitude may be noted as regards the Negro in the Navy. The tide of reaction which long since set in, seeking to restrict and set apart the Negro in Federal service, has laid waste and almost destroyed all opportunity, even for the limited naval career that was formerly possible.
At the present and for a long time past the shipment of Negroes in other than a menial capacity has been persistently discouraged and is now practically unknown
Negro Navy men in the Army and Navy Union are profoundly sorrowful at this fact, for their service in a former day brings to mind that once upon a time as the story books have it, the average ships-billet was not considered forbidden fruit, toward which he must cast no longing eye.
It seems nothing less than short-sighted to say the least, to virtually eliminate a factor in the nations well-being, that has proved its worth and prowess in many a hard fought battle of the sea.
If Negro sailors for any reason may not share in the pleasure and hardships of the life in the same ship with other sailors, then by all means give them a ship to themselves and let them fill all

the corresponding grades of service as do our men in the Army, and I guarantee they will give a good account of themselves. At all events do not let us as a nation make progress backward. Magna Charta and Runnymede; Independence and Bunker Hill are not more significant and symbolic of human progress than Emancipation and Appomattox. Each in turn reveal the irresistible trend of a mighty tho unfathomed purpose. The first will for all time, remain the pride and glory of the Saxon breast. The second with its record of hardship and sacrifice will fire the heart of Americans to the latest generatton; but it is a genuine Emancipation, the ripened fruit of Appomattox towards which the world is straining with eager, restless eyes, for until this is a living, burning fact, rather than a theory, the inflexible purpose of the ages may not be realized.
The American Negro soldier, faithful brave and devoted, alert, efficient and self-reliant, is doing much to hasten this larger and long prayed for Emancipation. All honor to our Negro soldiers. God bless them everyone.

Tuskegee Institute, Alabama October 7, 1913.
To the Editor,
The COLORADO STATESMAN:
As is often the case, I find that in my recent address before the National Baptist Convention in Nashville I omitted the most important part. May I take advantage of your generosity to state that which I meant to have said in Nashville. It is this: Our race suffers immensely because of the constant repitition in the daily press of Negro crime and misfortune. In most cases when any member of our race is mentioned in the daily press it is usually because of some crime committed directly or indirectly by that individual.
We should seek to overcome this hurtful influence by having in every community an organized effort in churches, business leagues and social and literary organization that shall have for its object putting into the daily press accounts of the progress of our people in material, educational, religious and social directions. Some individual should be appointed in every community whose duty it is to give to the white press day by day and week by week in concrete, readable form the news concerning our race that indicates our progress in constructive directions.
This will overcome the hurtful influence of the constant repetition of news relating alone to Negro crime. I am convinced that the daily press in the majority of cases publishes criminal news because of the absence of something better. We cannot rely upon the reporters of the daily press to get this news, we must prepare it and give it directly to the papers ourselves.
In all my experience in connection with the public press, I have never seen a case where a meeting of a Negro organization was so well and widely reported as was true of the National Baptist Concension recently held in Nashville. Each of the three daily papers in Nashville has a colored reporter present at all the sessions of the convention, and these colored reporters were given all the space in the newspapers that they wanted, in some cases four and five columns were printed for them.
In his regard due credit should be given to the colored men who are making a business of reporting the proceedings of colored organizations. Due credit should be given to that persistent and worthy band of young colored men who have worked themselves up to the point where they have been designated as regular and paid reporters on the daily press. We should have such a reporter on every daily newspaper or we should have some one whose duty it is to keep before the public the best that occurs in our race. All this will help immensely to change public opinion. (Signed) BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
BIG RACE RIOT IS
FEARED AT BALTIMORE
Baltimore, Md., Oct. 8.—Baltimore has a new segregation "law" and its discussion and passage have left the races in this city like opposing armies.
The homes of several colored families who happened to move into blocks where the other residents are white have been stoned and windows broken. The colored people of the vicinity have retaliated by breaking the windows of white residents. There have been a number of race clashes in various sections of the city, and white and colored have been injured. A number of arrests of both races have been made, and the penalties have been about the same
The most severe skirmishes took place in and around the 1300 block of Mosher street. A colored family moved into 1324 Mosher street and the whites began to bombard their house. The colored people of the vicinity retaliated, and broken windows, broken heads and bruises resulted. The home of a colored family at, 828 N Stricker street was stained. The white neighbors raised $50, which

Tallabasse, Fla., Oct. 7.—The State Legislature recently passed a bill, which has become law, prohibiting any white person from teaching in a Negro school, fixing as a penalty for violation of this law a fine now exceeding $500, or one year in the county jail.
Chicago, Oct. 13.—Forfeiture of Jack Johnson's personal bond of $30,000 was ordered by Federal Judge Carpenter today, effective next April if the Negro prize fighter, who is reported to have taken out citizenship papers in France, does not appear for trial under the Mann white slave act, which he is accused of having violated.
Washington, D. C., Oct. 8.—The American Colonization Society, the only private corporation in history that ever successfully established an independent nation, Tuesday paid over to its ward, Liberia, more than $60,000, the increment of an idle fund, for the education of the children of the Negro republic. The fund was the bequest of Caroline Donovan of Baltimore, devised twenty-seven years ago for this purpose, but it had not been possible to arrange for the proper disbursement of the interest. In addition to the $60,-
along with a month's rent free and the expense of moving, persuaded the colored family to move elsewhere. White real estate dealers who rent houses to colored people have been threatened and their tenants intimidated. Should the whites become still more aggressive a serious clash between the races will result, as many colored people are in a most determined mood. The new segregation law was signed last Thursday night by Mayor Preston after it had been rushed through the City Council Councilman Cummings made a speech against its passage, asserting that the courts would surely declare it invalid.
Another phase of the segregation agitation is the fight made by residents of the northern suburbs to prevent Morgan College being located there. The college has recently secured $100,000 and it will seek a new location. The present indications are that it will secure a first class location and will be the center of an ideal suburb for Negroes, where every home is built along an approved line and with a minimum cost.

Newport, R. I., Oct. 7.—Much feeling is being shown here over a rule which has just gone into effect at the Vanderbuilt Young Men's Christian Association barring Negroes from membership. The Young Men's Christian Association Building was financed a few years ago by Mr. Alfred G. Vanderbilt, in memory of his father, and is one of the handsomest in the city. Marcus Wheatland, son of Dr. M. F. Wheatland, has been denied a renewal of his membership. Another member, Andrew Jacksou, has been refunded his membership dues and asked to resign. Both families are members of the Shiloh Church here, and their pastor, the Rev. H. N. Jeter, has interested himself in the case to the extent of making a formal protest to the president. This is another evidence of what Christianity means in the United States.
The Hanibal Realty and Improve Company of America, with a capital of $100,000, full paid and non-assessable, is the latest business enterprise which seeks the support of colored people. The officers of the company are: Rufus Lewis Perry, president; Albert A. Friedlander, secretary; Henry Hyams, Jr., treasurer; D. Macon Webster, chairman of the Committee on Mortgages and Investment. The charter granted the company by the State is a most liberal one permitting the concern to deal in real estate, to promote industrial enterprises, to build hotels and theatres. Special attention will be given to selling members of the race property in all sections of Greater New York. The corporation has opened its books for the sale of stock. The par value of each share is $10 and can be purchased on the installment plan by advancing $2 down and paying $1 monthly.—New York Age.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
In a communication to the Houston Post E. L. Blackshear of Prairieview, Tex., writes:
In a recent editorial you spoke of the need of better teachers for the negro schools. I was much impressed with the timeliness of this editorial. It is true the negro public schools of Texas are far better than they were, say 25 years ago; but it is equally true that the negro public schools have not kept pace with educational progress except in certain cities and towns where a high educational sentiment among white people helps to keep up better standard among the colored schools. But in rural districts where there is but little supervision of negro schools, there is a poor educational sentiment and standard. The colored parents do not know when their children are being properly taught and when not. There is a great anxiety among a large number of the more thrifty negroes to educate their children so they will not fall into the vicious and criminal class which swells the convict camps of Texas.
The religious-minded negro people are willing to make almost any sacrifice to make their children decent homes and law-abiding. The black people of today do not cherish the illusions about education that the older generation did. The older people, newly emancipated from slavery, imputed miraculous power to the printed and written word. They imagined that education would finally obviate the necessity for work and put the negroes on equal footing with the whites. They thought it a disgrace for an "educated" negro to live on the farm.
But time has changed this and the present-day negroes see in education, not something that is going to alter in the least degree the relations between the races, but a something which has value for its moral effect in keeping their children out of the negro saloons, dives and places of idleness and debauchery.
But the rural negro teacher has not risen as a whole to his opportunity. Poor teaching is a great waste of the people's money and of the children's time. The value in work units of the time spent by all the negro children in the schools is considerable and would add something to the negroes' well-being if translated into productive labor. But a good teacher is a great blessing to the negro rural community. The graduates of Prairie View are among the best teachers in Texas, especially in the rural districts. In many counties they are pointed out by the county superintendent as the best of their race in the county. But Prairie View is unable to supply the demand for teachers. In the meantime the negro children are suffering from poor instruction and mental indigestion. One remedy is closer supervision of negro schools and an insistent demand by colored parents and the white school trustees and superintendents that knuckle down to good hard work in the schoolroom.
During the last fifty years there has been a rapid increase in the wealth of the negroes of the south, according to the Southern Workman, Hampton institute's publication. This increase has been especially marked in the last ten years, during which time the value of the domestic animals which they own increased from $85,216,337 to $177,273,785, or 107 per cent; poultry from $3,788,792 to $5,113,756, or 35 per cent; implements and machinery from $18,586,225 to $36,831,418, or 98 per cent; land and buildings from $69,636,420 to $273,501,665, or 293 per cent.
Born a slave, Mrs. Amanda Johnson of Albany, Ore., not only has enjoyed freedom for sixty years, but on her eightieth birthday became a duly qualified voter with all of the rights of citizenship. The adoption of women's suffrage in Oregon last fall paved the way for this result and she registered as a Republican voter.
An Oregon pioneer of 1853, Mrs. Johnson has lived in and near Albany continuously for 60 years. She was born in Liberty, Clay county, Missouri, August 30, 1833.
Her life has been eventful. The old southern custom of a family giving to a daughter upon her marriage a little colored girl as a personal attendant and the feeling in the south against liberated negroes before the war were the potent factors in Mrs. Johnson's long trip across the plains to Oregon in pioneer days.
A daughter of the family on whose place she was born was married when Mrs. Johnson was seven years old and she was given to this daughter as a wedding present.

Marked progress in Alabama high schools is reported to the United States bureau of education. In 1908 there were 50 high schools, few of them with courses of more than three years in length; now there are 132 institutions doing high school work, all but 14 of which have full four-year courses.
A parade depicting the progress of the negro in the arts and crafts marked the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the enancipation proclamation at Philadelphia.
From 1900 to 1910 the total value of farm property owned, by the colored farmers of the south increased from $177,404,688 to $422,898,218, or 177 per cent.
In 1863 the total wealth of the negroes of this country was about $20,000,000. Now the total wealth is over $700,000,000. No other emancipated people have made so great a progress in so short a time. The Russian serfs were emancipated in 1861. Fifty years later it was found that about 14,000,000 of them had accumulated about $500,000,000 worth of property, or about $36 per capita, an average of $200 per family. Fifty years after their emancipation only about thirty per cent. of the Russian peasants were able to read and write. After 50 years of freedom the 10,000,000 negroes in the United States have accumulated over $700,000,000 worth of property, or about $70 per capita, which is an average of $350 per family. After fifty years of freedom 70 per cent. of them have some education in books.
The recent session in Little Rock, Ark., of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools—its tenth annual meeting—brought together a representative group of the more active and influential colored teachers of the country. "This meeting," says the Southern Workman, "showed more completely than any that has gone before the increasing appreciation among colored teachers of their peculiar duties and responsibilities and of the opportunities offered by meetings of this character for getting a better understanding and a broader view of their work. This is the only body of national scope," continues the Southern Workman, "whose meetings are devoted entirely to the consideration of the more intimate and vital problems of negro education. The sessions are enlightening and bring hope and inspiration to the workers. They also arouse local interest and help to establish worthy standards in Negro education generally. The meeting at Little Rock had an unusual number of heads of institutions in attendance. These men seemed to understand better than formerly that they have a common work and that it is for the best interest of all to work out their problems together. It was with this end in view that they formed a council of school presidents as a department of the association. Although the colored teacher can do but little directly in influencing legislation for negro education, public education was given serious attention. It is possible to interest the colored people in making greater use of the public schools, and in giving them increased personal attention. This the association encouraged. Stimulating reports were made of the best public school work being done in rural sections of the south. In this connection came the strong, helpful and sympathetic address of the recently appointed state supervisor of colored schools for Arkansas, Leo M. Favrot. After all—the colored teacher and the colored people are the great forces in negro education. For the association to bring this fact into active consciousness is to render an important service."
Dr. W. E. Scripture of New York city says that ambidextrous persons never dream, while right-handed persons dream with the right half of the brain and use the left brain lobe for conscious thinking only.
The total number of Afro-American males in the United States of voting age in 1910 was 2,459,327, or 9.1 per cent.
Colored people of the United States are preparing to hold an industrial exposition in Washington in the near future, to represent their progress since the issuance of the emancipation proclamation of President Lincoln on September 22, 1862.

521 PERSONS RESCUED
HUNDREDS SEE PEOPLE PERISHING AND ARE POWERLESS TO GIVE AID.
London, Oct. 13.—The latest accounts of the disaster to the steamship Volturno, burned and abandoned in mid-ocean on Friday morning, confirm that the loss of life will be limited to about 136. The Carmania, first of the rescuing ships to reach the burning steamer, arrived off Queenstown this morning, but owing to the gale proceeded to Fishguard. A graphic story by the solitary survivor aboard the Carmania was received by wireless and presents a terrible picture of the horror and confusion aboard the burning liner.
London, Oct. 13.—Not since the Titanic disaster has Europe been so thrilled as by a wireless message Saturday telling of the burning of the steamship Volturno in mid-Atlantic, with a loss, so far as is at present known, of 136 lives and the rescue of 21.
The survivors are now aboard a fleet of steamers summoned by the Volturno's call for help, some of which are bound eastward and others westward.
The Volturno sailed from Rotterdam on October 2nd for New York. According to the official statement she carried 23 first cabin passengers, 538 steerage, and a crew numbering 16.
The rescue ships reached the scene of the disaster in plenty of time to save all, but for hours stood by the blazing vessel impotent because of a terrific storm to reach to agonized men, women and children crowding the after part of the ship and within a stone's throw.
All night Thursday the lifeboats made a desperate effort to get alongside the Volturno, but the waves beat them back again and again, and not until the storm abated at daylight Friday did the rescuers succeed in removing the survivors from the doomed ship.
Even now only the fringe of one of the most thrilling tales of the sea is available.
The Volturno was well equipped with boats, sufficient, the agents say, for a thousand people, but the towering seas or lack of boat drill, or panic, among the passengers prevented the successful employment of them. The rescue ships were able to lower lifeboats, but apparently most of the boats launched from the Volturno were smashed or upset and the occupants drowned. Two of the boats, crowded with passengers, are reported to have got away from the ship, but search for them has proved fruitless and they have practically been given up as lost.
The steamer Carmania, bound from New York for Liverpool, was seven miles away when the call for help sounded. Captain Barr, ordering full steam, in spite of the gale, drove through the seas at twenty knots an hour and was first of the fleet to reach the burning vessel. She was followed by La Touraine, Minneapolis, Rappahannock, Czar, Narragansett, Devonian, Kroonland, Grosser Kurfuerst and Seydlitz at various hours throughout the day. But try as they might the rescuing vessels could not get neither line nor lifeboat to the Volturno, the forward part of which was almost hidden by a dense cloud of smoke, when the Carmania arrived.
The hopelessness of the situation was manifested at 9 o'clock in the evening when a great explosion tore away part of the upper works, and flames burst from the engine room. It then became a matter of how long the Volturno would stay above the waters.
Meanwhile several of the terrified passengers, wrapped in life buoys, dropped over into the sea. One of them was taken aboard the Cahmania. It may be that others found a haven with other vessels of the fleet, but some undoubtedly were swept away.
When day broke the Volturno was still afloat. The gale had moderated and the seas had calmed down. From almost every one of the encircling steamers lifeboats were sent out, and into these the women and children were lowered first. Several trips were necessary before the survivors were removed to a place of safety.
Ranch Sells for $30,000.
Steamboat Springs.—The Herbert Shaw ranch near Hayden, 640 acres, has been sold to the Yampa Valley Livestock Company for $30,000. This gives the company, of which the late Senator Cary was head, 30,000 acres in Routt and Moffat counties. Joseph F. Green of Gregory, Texas, one of the big cattle men of the country, has acquired heavy holdings with the Carys and it is claimed will ship several thousand head of blooded cattle from Texas to the Cary ranch.

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.

PREDATORY ANIMALS
Many Beasts of Prey Killed by Foresters.
Government Forest Service Figures Show That Rangers' Bag This Year Contains Many Bears, Mountain Lions, Lynx, Wild Cats, Wolves.
Washington.—During the past fiscal year 4,686 predatory animals were killed by federal officers on the national forests, according to an actual count of carcasses. An indeterminate number of animals, whose bodies were not found, are presumed to have died from poison.
The rangers' bag of beast of prey this year, as shown by forest service figures, was made up of 206 bears, 3,441 coyotes, 133 mountain lions, 62 yynx, 583 wild cats, 64 wolves and 97 wolf pups. The figures indicate that the national forests are becoming treared of wild animals that prey upon domestic live stock and game, for the forest ranger fills in odd moments between other jobs by thinning out "unresirable citizens" of the animal world.
Wolves are said to cause greater losses to western stockmen than any other of the predatory animals. It is estimated that a family of wolves will destroy about $3,000 worth of stock per annum, and that one able-bodied individual costs the grazing industry $600 a season.
The wolves are of two classes—the smaller prairie wolves or coyotes, and the larger gray, black, or timber wolves, called "lobos." These latter are the great stock destroyers against which the campaign of the rangers has been waged.
The emthods of hunting wolves in the west vary. On the plains wolves are sometimes hunted with dogs and horses, but this way is considered expensive and often dangerous. This sport is described by Roosevelt in his earlier hunting books. On national forests the rangers either set out polson or baited steel traps, or, by watching trails and hiding near a wolf's den, are able to shoot one or both of the old wolves when they return from foraging. In no other way, according to the forest service, can the number of wolves be kept down so well as by finding their dens and destroying the young.
The skins of the predatory animals killed by the rangers are either kept as souvenirs or sold for a price or for bounty. Wolf skins in the west are said to bring from four to six dollars for robes and rugs; a mountain lion skin, $10 to $20, and a bear skin, any where from $20 to $150, according to size and species. In addition to this, there are bounties on bear, lions and wolves in most of the western stock states. Wyoming, in ten years, has paid out, it is said, over $65,000 in bounties on wolves alone, and $95,000 more on coyotes and mountain lions. Through his activity against these pests, the forest ranger, it is said, has saved the stockmen many thousands of dollars during the year, while the protection to game animals, such as deer, elk and antelope, is of almost equal importance.
The magnitude of the government meat inspection service is shown by
Meat Inspection Service
which the present law has been in effect. In this period more than 377,000,000 animals were inspected and slaughtered, of which 1,100,000 carcasses and 4,750,000 parts of carcasses were condemned. The inspection of meat food products in their various preparations amounted to 44,000,000,000 pounds, of which there were condemned on reinspection 148,000,000 pounds. There were certified for export 8,000,000,000 pounds. Federal inspection is maintained at 792 slaughtering and packing establishments, which number includes practically every establishment of importance in the country. These establishments are distributed in 227 towns and cities. The force necessary to conduct inspection is comprised of 2,400 veterinary inspectors and assistants.
The United States produced more white arsenic in 1912 than ever before, the output for last year being 3,141 short tons, valued at $190,757, against 3,132 short tons, valued at $73,408, in 1911, according to a report on the subject by Frank L. Hess, just issued by the United States geological survey. The imports in 1912 were also the largest on record, amounting to more than 6,156 short tons, valued at $428,741, against 4,096 short tons, valued at $247,323, in 1911. The only white arsenic produced in the United States was that made as a by-product of smelting operations.
White arsenic is used principally in glass making and in the manufacture of Paris green, lead arsenate, and other insecticides. With the growth of horticulture and the necessarily greater attention paid to killing insect pests, the demand for arsenical insecticides has grown immensely. Experiment conducted by a number of the state agricultral experiment stations have demonstrated the value of arsenic when combined with lime as an effective spray against insect pests, while arsenic solutions have been found of considerable value when used as a dip for cattle and sheep. A number of arsenic salts and
oxides are used medicinally, among them the bromide, iodide, trisulphide, trioxide, sodium arsenate, and potassium arsenate. Disulphide of arsenic, both natural and artificial, is used as a paint pigment; in calico printing and dyeing; in tanning; and, as it burns with an intense white light, in fireworks. Orpiment, the trisulphide, called also king's yellow, is used as a paint pigment and as a reducing agent in chemical work. The trioxide is used in paints; for preserving hides, both for taxidermists and in the leather industry; as an antiseptic; and in killing animal pests. Sodium arsenite is used in dyeing with turkey-red oil and in printing fabrics; the arsenite in making soaps for use on skins and hides. Potassium arsenite is used as a reducer for silver in the manufacture of mirrors.

amount of gypsum consumed being
2,500,757 short tons. The value of
gypsum and gypsum products was
$6,563,908, an increase of $101,873 over
1911. In 1880 only 90,000 tons of gypsum were produced; in 1900 the production was 590,000 tons.
The bulk of the gypsum produced in the United States is manufactured by grinding and partial or complete calcination into the various plasters such as plaster of Paris, molding and casting plaster, stucco, cement plaster, flooring plaster, and hard-finish plaster. Refined grades of plaster are used in dental work, for making pottery molds, stereotype molds, molds for rubber stamps, and as an ingredient in various patent cements. A steadily increasing quantity is being used in the raw state as a retarder in Portland cement. Considerable quantities are ground without burning and used as land plaster; smaller quantities are used in the manufacture of paint, wall tints, crayons, paper, imitation meerschaum and ivory, and as an adulterant. The pure white massive form known as alabaster, is much used by sculptors for interior ornamentation, less, however, in this country than abroad.
Endless Chain That Failed.
treasury stating his wishes. Since the receipt of the first letter by Secretary McAdoo the latter's secretary, Byron Newton, has intercepted 20,000 letters from residents of Illinois asking the secretary of the treasury to give the applicant the job he wants, which happens to be under civil service.
An investigation by the treasury department showed that the applicant the internal revenue job had 20,000 or more letters printed, and the same number of envelopes addressed and stamped, and then sent them to his friends to sign and send to the secretary of the treasury. Every friend, apparently signed a letter.
The man will not get the berth, as its disposition is in the hands of the civil service commission. The applicant was so informed after he wrote his first letter. The treasury department refuses to make known his name.
Little Fellow Explains.
"Have you ever thought," said the little man, as he pawed for the rail with his left foot, "why it is that so many people small in stature have accomplished such great things in the world? I'll tell you. It's because they get their dander up. They get tired of being looked down upon and of being treated patronizingly by the big fellows, and they just resolve to show people that they are worth something even though their height may be in the vicinity of five feet. In a word, quality, not quantity, becomes their mot to. Another thing that I've noticed about the little folk is that they have learned to conserve their energies and how to take care of themselves. Your big man almost invariably is reckless with his strength—the very generosity of a large nature. I suppose, maker him care little about his time, his health and innumerable other things The little fellow, on the other hand knows that he has a physical handi cap, so far as appearances go, any way, and he does his best to overcome it—here, bartender, another whisky."
Warns American Girls.
The Marchesa San Germano, formerly Miss Virginia Hoge of Louisville Ky., who recently arrived in New York city from abroad, declared she will seek legal separation from her husband, whom she married three years ago, because of his unfaithfulness. In explaining she delivered this warning to title-seeking American girls:
"American girls who marry European noblemen take great risks. Many of them soon after marriage realize that the code of honor of the title for eigner is different from that of the average American husband. Women and gambling occupy most of the time the titled foreigner does not spend with his American-bred wife. I am tired of sharing my husband with another woman."
Jessie Wilson's "Twin."
Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of the president, has a double in Miss Grace Brown, a pretty Washington girl. Miss Brown is taken frequently for Miss Wilson and when she went into one of the large department stores to make some simple purchases she was amazed at being politely accosted by the floorwalker, who offered to put a special clerk at her disposal.

The First Ohio Regiment for the Mexican war, sits in a Washington bay window today—now he is eighty-two years old—and talks to his canary. Major William Fletcher one of the three surviving army officers who served in the Mexican war, pays by confinement to his chair for his forty years of marching and exposure and the hard fighting of three wars. The second war was that with the Indians in Texas; in some ways it was the hardest of the three. The back of his neck is deeply scarred with wounds.
"They were only little ones—from arrows," the major says. "I didn't hold any grudge about them. You see, we weren't so very gentle with the Indians when we caught them. When you have seen a place where white women and children have been massacred, somehow you get the idea that a dead Indian is the best kind of an Indian."

Lady Randolph makes them exciting. Miss Jennie Jerome was well known in New York for beauty and a character before she adopted England as her own. And although she adopted England with more heartiness than do many imported Americans, she kept, and keeps, something of the States both in her mind and manner. It was only an American member of the family who would have dared to go round Blenheim for the fun of overhearing the remarks of the tourists. But set an American to catch an American. Lady Randolph, disguised with an old cloak and a Baedeker, did do the tour of the picture galleries in the company of unwitting compatriots. "My, what poppy eyes these Churchills have got!" she heard a young woman from
There is danger of a strike in the office of Senator Ben Tillman of South
n Tillman of South Carolina. It is all because of the fact that the office staff and other employees about the office are getting too much to eat. The flood of edibles is the result of this complaint recently made by Senator Tillman;
PETER H.
"Why can't I get any good chicken in Washington? The stingy skeletons of ancient fowls now served to me are an abomination. I crave some good fried chicken, but Washington where I can get any to there is not a hotel or restaurant in my taste."
Since his last attack of illness Senator Tillman has been ordered by the doctor to stick to one meal a day, with chicken or other white meat and fish to comprise the principal dishes.
The stimulating effect that American women have on their titles for
on their titled foreign husbands has been a'subject of comment for many years. It is pointed out that many an English titled gentleman has been urged on to a life of usefulness to himself and to his country by the delicate spur of his American spouse. As one of the latest examples of this the case is cited of Camoys, who a little more than a year ago married Miss Mill

"It makes a soldier look like a cart-driver," said he. "You can't tell even whether he is clean. A man could look natty and spruce in blue. But then, times have changed. They coddle the soldier now. They don't know what discipline means any more. Instead of leaving the enlisted man to depend upon his commander, the law steps in to make a baby of him and he depends upon his political pull. He has fine barracks, and a spring mattress; pillows and clean sheets—he used to be lucky to get a tick filled with straw. And crockery—in those days he got a tin cup, and had to take care of it too.
"When we enlisted for the Mexican expedition we thought it was just going to be one grand picnic. We packed all our belongings on mules and went ahead gayly. Nobody thought to furnish a guard for the mule train. I guess they are on the way yet; we never saw them again."
Monterey, Buena Vista, Cerro Gordo—the major remembers them all.
"How did I get my corporal's chevrons? Oh, I suppose my captain thought I was the man for it. I was no braver than anybody else."
It was Mrs. Fletcher who pried out the fact that General Scott mentioned Corporal Fletcher in orders and that he was the general's interpreter in Mexico. The major prefers to speak of the deeds of others.
the west exclaim, after going the round of the family portraits.
As a hostess at innumerable dinners, she is a story-teller whose anecdotes generally hover round the board. It was at table, for instance, that she found out the real Disraeli. Once when she and he were discussing their departed guests, Lord Randolph mentioned as an instance of Disraeli's flowery language his refusal of more wine after the departure of the ladies. "My dear Randolph," he said, "I have sampled your excellent champaign, I have quenched my thirst with your good claret, I have sipped your sherry, I have tasted your delicious port; I will have no more." But Lady Randolph had sat next the great man, and noticed that he took nothing but weak brandy-and-water.
Anybody who has watched at close quarters an election that meant much to Lady Randolph knows her power. In Northwest Manchester the man with a vote soon learned that he had to cope, not, first of all, with the speeches of this or that candidate, but with a most notorious canvasser. It was a case, if ever there was one, of votes for a woman, and her irresistible persuasions. All parties and persons have known her strength, private and public. And if Mr. Balfour goes to the promenade concerts in her company, it is because he respects her musical opinions no less than her politics. The "Ring" she has done in the company of the elect; and the little gold pig on her watch-chain is the somewhat unexpected token of King Edward's respect. London will hear a lot about her this winter.
In trying to follow his physician's advice, Senator Tillman could find no chickens to suit his taste in the city's market or in the hotels or restaurants. Hence his loudly voiced complaint. Immediately there, were denials from the market men, the hotel managers and restaurateurs, but many of the housewives back up the senator's assertion.
When the South Carolina senator spoke his words of complaint he gave no thought to his many southern admirers, both here and in the south. Soon his office was besieged by consignments of fried chicken that came by parcel post and by messenger. At first the senator tried to turn back the stream of donations, but he was handicapped by lack of names on packages. Since then the waste paper basket of Mr. Tillman's committee room has contained more picked chicken bones than waste paper. The once neat committee room for a while looked like a pienicking ground. And now the clerks and senate attendants join Senator Tillman in declaring that ever fried chicken can become a monotone diet. No one has heard a complaint from the senator.
seemed to enjoy nothing so much as leisurely companionship in the fashionable clubs and at the watering places of England and the continent. Recently, however, he has blossomed out as a most energetic champion of the cause of pure food. As chairman of the executive committee of the Pure Food and Health society he is now engaged in collecting $250,000 to aid in the campaign against adulterated food.
"We are persuaded," wrote Lord Camoys recently, "that a wholesome food supply is of paramount importance to the nation, and that pure food is even more necessary to the nation than dreadnoughts."

HUERTA'S DEFI AROUSESPOWERS
SIX FOREIGN DIPLOMATS IN CITY
OF MEXICO ASK FOR
GUARDS.
DICTATOR STILL SILENT
NO REPLY TO WILSON'S NOTE
DENOUNCING LAWLESSNESS
OF REGIME.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mexico City, Oct. 16.—The diplomatic representatives of Great Britain, France, Spain, Cuba, Guatemala and Norway, at a conference decided to recommend that their respective governments send warships to Mexico for the purpose of affording legation guards.
A member of the diplomatic corps made this statement last night. He said that the diplomatic representatives had recommended a temperate attitude in the matter of Mexico's reply to Washington.
That the crisis in the relations between Mexico and the United States, which was almost reached Tuesday is only temporarily delayed, is the general feeling here among Mexicans and foreigners. When and how the next development will be reached is a question agitating all alike.
While the American charge, Nelson O'Shaughnessy, professes to expect no reply to the Washington memorandum, and the foreign office says there will be none for the time being, it still is regarded as certain that the nature of the American government's notification regarding future recognition will make action necessary on the part of the Mexican authorities. Frederico Gamboa and Manuel Calero, presidential candidates, are not abating their efforts to appear to believe the election will be held according to program. The deputies still are in the penitentiary and processes in the civil courts are being prepared against many of them. It is reported that four judges of the Supreme Court have resigned.
Official reports received here describe two battles in which more than a hundred rebels were killed. In a 36-hour engagement which began near El Potrero in Sinaloa, 64 were killed and many wounded. The rebels fled, pursued by cavalry.
REPORT SULZER GUILTY
Stated that Informal Ballot of Secret Court Was 39 to 18 Against New York Executive.
Albany, N. Y.—Oct. 16.—Behind closed doors, after a day spent in private consultation of a legislative committee in executive session, the high court of impeachment last evening registered its opinion that Governor William Sulzer was guilty of the first article of the articles of impeachment presented by the Assembly. There was a roll call, which resulted, if the reports taken to Governor Sulzer by his agents are correct, 39 to 18 against him. Senator Ramsperger of Buffalo voted for him at first, then changed his vote.
This vote, thus registered, is not a formal, final vote. It was the understanding of the court that it was preliminary and that the members will have opportunity if they desire to register their votes differently on the formal roll call, which will probably be taken today.
It is improbable that any result more favorable to Governor Sulzer will be reached.
Article I, on which the court voted last night that the governor was guilty, charges him with filling with the secretary of state a false statement of his campaign report and disbursement.
HOLD STRIKERS FOR PICKETING
Trinidad.—Operations of the mine of the Santa Fe Coal Company, three miles south of this city, were suspended temporarily Wednesday when 20 miners were prevented from going to work by a gang of forty strikers from Starkville, some of whom were armed, and who congregated near the entrance to the mine early Wednesday morning, and by threats of violence forced the men to return to their homes.
Undesheriff Zeke Martin and three deputies took into custody twenty-two of the strikers, and marched them to the county jail here, where they are being held on charges of picketing and carrying concealed weapons. Most of them are Mexicans.
Felker May Rule Against Thaw.
Concord, N. H.—That Governor Felker probably will order the extradition of Harry K. Thaw was admitted in the fugitive's camp Wednesday for the first time since Thaw's fight in this state began.
Queen Censors Royal Wedding Gifts.
London.—Royal society is both amused and angered because Queen Mary took it upon herself to "censor" the wedding presents received by the Duchess of Fife, who married Prince Arthur of Connaught.
BETTER WITHOUT THE STARCH
Lingerie Waists Need Careful Treatment in the Laundry if You Want Them to Last.
Wash lingerie waists as usual, but do not starch. When dry, dip in borax water, using one tablespoonful of borax to one quart of warm water. Wring out and fold in a towel for a few hours. Then iron dry. The waists will not get mussed nearly as soon as when starched and are easier to iron. When ironing use a small iron. Sprinkle some orris powder under the ironing sheet and you will find that it will give a delicate perfume to the waists.
To have a nice, smooth starch, put a few drops of kerosene in and stir until blended with the starch. It will prevent the starch from sticking. When washing very delicate fabrics, such as mull, organdy, net, lace, etc., stiffen with gum arabic. Dissolve the gum in hot water to a consistency of mucilage and keep bottled for use. Add a tablespoon to a large cup of water.
Elaborate net waists are best cleaned as follows: Fill a two-quart fruit can with gasoline, put the waist to be cleaned in this, screw the top on well and let stand overnight. In the morning shake the can back and forth. The motion will churn the dirt from the waist. If much soiled, rinse in fresh gasoline. Hang on the line until all odor has disappeared. Shake well and press with a warm iron. Net yokes and sleeves can be very successfully dry cleaned by rubbing gently in pulverized laundry starch and then shaking the starch out.
To clean the lace yoke of a gown without ripping it out, place under the lace a clean Turkish bath towel folded to several thicknesses, then scrub the lace well. An embroidery hoop is also of assistance and protection when cleaning a yoke. Put the soiled part of the yoke in the hoop and clean.
Tomato Salad.
With the plump, crimson "love apple" at its best, tomato salad may well grace the family board at frequent intervals. Select solid, ripe tomatoes of even size and pour over them boiling water enough to cover. Peel and put on ice. When chilled, cut off a slice from the stem end, and with a spoon handle scoop out the center of the tomato. Cut some celery fine and mix with a mayonnaise or boiled dressing, and fill the tomato, allowing it to come well over the top. Arrange nests of tender lettuce leaves on a dish, put a little mayonnaise on each and the tomato in the center of the dressing, pressing it down so that the dressing will spread out beyond the tomato.
Planked Chicken.
For two spring chickens, which will serve four persons, a cupful of boiled rice is required, half a pound of mushrooms, one small tumbler of guava jelly and three baked bananas. Stew the mushrooms; put the chicken either in the oven or under the broiler, bone side to the hottest part of the fire. Heat the plank, put the chicken on, bone side down, dust with salt and pepper, and broil on the board under the gas for half an hour; garnish with rice; pour over the mushrooms. Place at the corners small bread patties, holding the guava jelly. Place at the side the bananas and send instantly to the table.
Fish Chowder.
Fry out dry in the dinner pot some thin slices of pork; put in a layer of potatoes sliced in the same way; also some fish; repeat in the same order until all is in the pot, putting some pepper and salt on each layer of potatoes; split some hard biscuits, dip in water, and put them around the slider and over the top; put in water enough to come into sight. Stew until the potatoes are done, and add half a pint of milk or a teacup of sweet cream be fore taking up.
Stuffed Eggs.
For six hard-bolled eggs take one cup of finely chopped cooked meat, one tablespoon melted butter, one-quarter cup of sweet cream. Season to taste. Cut the eggs in haives, carefully take out yolks and mix to a smooth paste with the melted butter. Add the meat and seasoning, mix with the cream gradually, as it may not all be needed Stuff the eggs with this mixture, press together and roll in egg and bread crumbs. Fry in hot fat.
Spotles2 Linens.
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.
Fish Salad.
Left-over boiled or baked fish may be used in an appetizing salad. Pich apart the larger pieces, so that the fish will be flaky. Sprinkle over it a little onion juice and chopped parsley and toss with crisp lettuce leaves in French dressing. Mayonnaise dressing will be even better for those who like it.
Jelly Coverings.
When using paraffin for covering jellies, possibly you have been troubled by seeing the preserve work up at the side of the glass. To prevent this be sure to tip the glass lightly all around while the paraffin is hot; then all air spaces will be filled ir and the trouble avoided.—Ladies Home Journal.
HIGHER AUTO LICENSES
HIGHER AUTO LICENSES
PEARCE TO ASK MINOR CHANGES
IN PRESENT LAW.
Secretary Wants Every Motor Vehicles, Including Cycles, to Pay at Least $5.00 License.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denver.—Radical changes for the perfection of the state motor vehicle law will be presented to the next Legislature, according to Secretary of State Pearce, who is completing his plans for the registrations for 1914, which will start January 1.
The law passed by the last Legislature which went into effect July 15 is considered a big success for a new measure, but there are many changes which the secretary of state and motorists believe should be made as soon as possible.
The most radical change to be made is the raising of all registration fees. Secretary Pearce would issue no license under $5. According to him all motor vehicles up to twenty-horsepower should pay a registration fee of $5. Cars rated between 20 and 40 horsepower on this basis would pay $10 instead of $5, and cars above 40 horsepower would be charged $15. Under the present law cars under 20 horsepower are registered for $2.50. It is said that the charge of $1 for chauffeur's license does not pay the clerical expense of issuing it, and it is suggested that the fee be raised to $5. Motorcycles which are charged $2 now will be raised to a license fee of $5 if the plans of the secretary of state are carried out.
It is planned to have a regular license for motorcycles under the revised law. Under the present measure the riders of these machines obtain their numbers and paint them on the mud-guard of their machine. This method is considered unsatisfactory and police officers have in many cases of speeding been unable to identify these numbers.
The secretary of state is planning to order 15,000 license tags for 1914. The tags will be of steel covered with porcelain baked enamel and will have a blue background with white numerals.
The motor vehicle law in the first year of its existence brought the state $56,000. Pearce sent out vouchers to the counties amounting to $1,200.
TAX VALUATION RAISED.

Highest county levy for all purposes
not to exceed 1.88 mills.
Figures in the majority report follow:
Total ..... $186,551,658 $1,046,294,697
Kenehan Ordered to Pay.
Denver.—The District Court issued an alternative write of mandamus directed at Roady Kenehan, state auditor, commanding him to show cause why he should not pay Douglas Killin, clerk of the State Civil Service Commission, who brought the action for his salary for the month of September. This suit marks the beginning of litigation between the civil service commission and the state auditor over the refusal of the latter to recognize certain rules for the payment of those under civil service.

Church Decoration for October Wedding
CHIMESETTE AND COAT COLLAR MAKE NOVEL COMBINATION
CHIMESETTE AND COAT COLLAR MAKE NOVEL COMBINATION
THIS neck piece is a novelty, serving the purpose of an ornamental coat collar and a chimesette to match, both in one piece. To make it successfully one must first select a strong but filmy pattern in the machine-made laces. They will stand washing and not draw out of shape. They do not need to be stayed with net, as the threads of which they are woven are very firm.
In order to make this neck-piece fit, a good sailor collar pattern of tissue paper is to be laid over the coat collar and brought under the lapel. The chimoisette ends are then cut from paper and curved out to fit the neck in front, with the paper extended at each side to meet the sailor collar. Pin the pieces together where they meet and remove the collar. After trimming away the superflous paper, paste the two pieces together.
When the pattern has been cut in this way, it may be found to be a little irregular. Just one-half of it is needed in cutting the lace, so this irregularity does not make an difference. The collar is cut from all-over lace
folded either crosswise or lengthwise. On this double fold of goods place half of the pattern and cut the collar by it.
It is not a bad plan if the lace is of a very open pattern to baste it to a paper foundation before binding the edges.
A narrow fold of fine net headed with a cord or soutache braid finishes the collar. Cut the fold on the straight of the net in a strip two and one-half times as wide as the finished fold is to be. Fold it and baste it to the collar. If soutache braid is used
Church Decoration
SHE who chooses to be wed in October, has the best chance of a bright and wonderful day and is sure of an Indian summer honeymoon of glorious weather. June brought its troop of lovely brides this year, but those of October will outnumber them according to the gossip of those who report the doings of the social world. Before this the bride and her maids and all her feminine "kinery" are ready with their gala day attire. But it has become a pretty custom to leave the decoration of the church to the young friends—or old—of the bride, and October offers a splendid chance for the effective decoration of church or home with the familiar and dear things that grow about everywhere.
Whether gathered from the woods and fields, or loaned by the bride's friends—the necessary greenery is not hard to obtain.
Modern churches, with their ample rostrums, are easily decorated. The first requisite to a successful result, is to know when to stop—to be careful not to crowd in more than the spaces justify. Then we are to remember that green and the darker tones of autumn foliage should predominate with the more vivid colors sparingly used.
The windows and the altar are positions of greatest advantage for the placing of church decorations. Guarding against over-crowding does not mean being skimpy in placing foliage and flowers in their places, but in so placing the decorations that the attention will not be taken away from them by unnecessary decorations elsewhere. Except for greenery the isles down which the bridal party moves to the altar or departs therefrom should be left untrimmed. Boughs and vines from the forest will take care of the windows and ferns are pretty placed among them. With foliage for a background the flowers for the altar should be chosen in only one color or a color with white. White alone in blossoms is very beautiful especially if autumn leaves are chosen to be used with them.
it may be machine stitched to place at the same time as the fold. Narrow lace edging or beading may be used instead or a very small and fine finishing braid.
Small fancy buttons finish the chimesette at the front, but it fastens with tiny hooks and eyes placed under them.
This neck piece is made up in many materials. It is pretty in French embroidered batiste, in plain wash net or of the finest crochet laces. When made entirely by hand something is added to its value. It is a novelty that will make an acceptable Christmas present. One who knows how to make fine tattling could make up the piece of little tattling wheels. Such a development will produce a gift worth several dollars.
For practical wear, however, the machine made wash laces and nets are best of all. It is the crisp freshness of such little accessories that makes them charming.
JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
Malines Frills for Plain Frocks.
Providing they can be kept fresh-looking, there is no easier way of dressing up the plain little frock in serge or dark silk which nearly every girl has for early autumn wear than a wrist, neck and plastron set in white malines. The wristlets are merely full three-inch-wide frills, shirred onto narrow ribbons by which they may be attached to cuffless sleeves, and the collar consists of two frills—one of three-inch width overlapping one of four-inch width—at the center of the back, where they are wired to stand up and whence they taper gradually to beneath the chin, where they lie flat and are secured under a narrow velvet pump bow. The plastron is a bib-shaped affair of finely tucked malines extending from the shoulders to below the bust and further lengthened and widened by a three-inch frilling.
Powdered Coiffures.
White wigs met with enough success at Paris fetes of the late summer, and at fashionable watering places, to indicate that powdered hair will be in vogue for evening in the coming winter. The high helmet-shaped coifure will also probably be adopted, as it is suited to the period of style when the hair was powdered.
To avoid using hooks and eyes that will rust, always test them with a magnet. If they can be drawn by the magnet they contain steel and should not be used on anything that requires laundering.
or October Wedding
Asters and chrysanthemums suggest themselves for the October wedding. There is a wide choice of color in either of these. The chrysanthemum is a regal flower. Big, white ones used with a setting of autumn leaves, palms and ferns will make a decorative scheme to be proud of.
An altar is pictured here in which green, white and pink made up the color picture, set against the light gray of the church walls. It is a charming decoration. There was ample room here for placing the growing plants and the cut flowers. Added to these, cut glass candelabra, with wax candles, gave the sparkle and glow of candle light. This light was, of course, not needed but it was a beautiful touch among the greens and flowers.
About the altar small potted plants were placed, ferns and green foliage, set at rather wide intervals at each side. At each side a large jardiniere containing a foliage plant with green leaves striped with white (like "ribbon grass") displayed the stately disposition of its leaves. Small tables provided the necessary height on which to place the plants and flowers. A small stand at each side held the candleabra.
In this church the altar has two levels—and upon the second the choir is placed. The organ stands at the back. A choir of women, dressed uniformly, and in white, is an added attraction and the singing of the wedding march more effective than an organ rendering alone.
For a home wedding the windows, mantels and doorways provide the points of greatest advantage for placing flowers and foliage. Greater latitude in using color is possible because there are separate rooms each of which may be decorated in its own color scheme. But nothing should be introduced that will prove other than an attractive background for the wedding party. Therefore the apparel of the bride and her attendants must be considered and decorations made with reference to them. Autumn foliage provides many colors.
