Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY INJUSTICE TO NEGROACRIME VOL. XX. "The Crime Against the Negro" is the subject of an interesting article written for the San Francisco Examiner by the Rev. C. F. Aked formerly pastor of one of New York's largest congregations, but who now has an important charge in San Francisco. The article in part: The crimes against the Negro continues. North as well as South East equally with the West, hangs, shoots and occasionally roasts its Negroes its Negroes by order of Judge Lynch. State after State disfranchises its Negroes; the "Jim Crow" car is still running; the Wilson Administration discriminates against the Negro clerk or employee at Washington—and nobody seems to mind. Two days ago the papers had a long string of lynching reports: in Louisiana two Negroes hanged; in Illinois a lynching mob baffled by the secret removal of a Negro from the town; in North Carolina a "Negress" escaping, for the time at least, in the same way—all this with an account of the lynching in North Dakota of a convicted murderer, whether Negro or white, does not appear, in the same issue of the same daily paper. In the North Dakota case the lynchers are not satisfied with hanging their man. There are fashions even in lynching; and the mob must follow the fashion. The body of the man hanging in the air is riddled by bullets. This is where the fun comes in for the lynchers. MOB LAW IN THE NORTH AND SOUTH North has little with which to reproach South. It is also true that the majority of the lynchings, take place in the South. But this is only what one would expect, if there is to be any lynching at all; for it is in the South that the majority of American Negroes live. And Southern mobs have nothing of foulness and ferocity to learn from lynching mobs in the North. The most devilish barbarity practiced upon a human being in America in recent years disgraced not a community in the Black Belt, but the proud commonwealth of William Penn. AMERICAN HAS NO DEFENSE FOR MOB LAW And we have no defense. There is nothing which we can allege in palliation of the crime. When an American abroad is asked why, in the twentieth century, the country of which he is so proud, which in his eyes stands for everything that is noble and brave and free, roasts human beings at the stake. he lies, invariably he lies, he lies to save the honor of his country! He says that men are only burned for criminal assaults upon young girls To make his defence of his countymen more convincing he whips himself into the pretense of a fervor and adds, "and I would do it myself if it were my daughter and so would you." The simple fact is, of course, that while this man-burning had at first the excuse of "the offense," now any excuse serves—or none. A drunken man's murder of a policeman serves for a crime which evoked from one of the most patriotic journals published in America the comment: "A community guilty of such a sickening piece of barbarious cruelty is inferior in civilization to a tribe of cannibals." We held meetings and wrote leading articles condemning Russia's attitude toward the Jew. And we did well. But it will be a pretty piece of business of the Russians begin to hold public meetings and write leading articles for the purpose of condemning our crime against the Negro. We cannot even allege that the Negro has dissapointed us; that he has repaid by base ingratitude the devotion of those patriotic souls who freed him from his chains, brought him an American citizen. Something the Public Misses. "They were picked up in the open sea," says the Times, "just after their vessel, the schooner Marjorie Brown, which had sprung a leak, was about to sink." That's the trouble with an unillustrated paper. The public is deprived of seeing a picture of a vessel just after it is about to sink—New York Mail. Fairly Warned. In a certain parish in the north of England the following notice was posted on the church gates: "A tripe supper will be held on Saturday evening. On Sunday an address will be given by Rev. ____. Subject, 'A Night of Agony.'" Would Be Productive Land Would Be Productive Land. It is estimated that there are more than 4,000,000 acres of land in the Russian steppes which would be exceedingly well suited to the production of cotton if properly irrigated. Go! You Are Welcome!

DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1914 DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, JANUARY 10, 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Bocce State House ANTS WHO ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO THE CATHOLIC CHURCH We are convinced that if there were more colored people in the Catholic church that the race would be much better off in the race for life. The following from the Washington, (D. C.) Bee bears out our idea: Tacoma, Wash., Dec. 12, 1913. Editor Bee, Washington, D. C. Your issue of Dec. 6th, contains an excellent editorial on the Catholic church. You certainly bit the bull's eye. Of all people in the world the Negro should be the very last to engage in baiting the Catholics. We who need friends have reason to avoid censuring others, unless something is done directly to us. Those ministers forget that sectarianism and Negro slavery were twin evils concomitant with the discovery of America. Protestanism means division, segregation and disrudition, degradation for black peoples everywhere in the world it gets a foothold. Negroes held high positions in the Catholic church in the early days of Christianity and today there are at the very least three Negro Bishops in the Catholic church and not sub bishops either, but having full and plenary jurisdiction of all races in their diocese. The Black Archbishop of Mariann, Brazil, appointed by Pope Leo XIII, has under him two millions of souls, black, Indian and white. What Protestant sect can make such a showing in behalf of Negro equality? Protestant South Africa is doing its best to outdo the South in ill-treatment of the blacks. In the Catholic colonies the reverse prevails. It is passing strange to me that educated Negroes should so far forget themselves as to strike at the one and only world-wide organization that has not condemned the black race as inferior. The action of the Episcopal bishops in New York on the Negro question, the strange and unchristian action of the M. E. Convention last year in St. Paul, in voting down a Negro bishop, the opposition of the Presbyterian churches to fellowship with Negro Christians deserve the especial attention of all Negro ministers, instead of following the lead of white preachers up a blind alley. For the Catholic church is the one church that is the church of all nations, not only the American or English, but Catholic and Universal. You have done well to speak out against such a policy and though I take it you are a Protestants, you show a spirit of justice and fair play that is admirable. I am passing your article aleng to members of the Catholic clergy here, who had to deal with a simi- lar demonstration on part of white ministers here a week ago. Yours truly, G. B. ALDRICH. Sunday Morning Echo. COLORED GROCER'S HOUSE STONED BY ANGRY MOB Columbus, Ind., Dec. 23.—A big crowd of indignant residents of Elizabethtown stoned a building in that town last night in which Frank Curry, colored, has a grocery store, broke out the windows and glass in the doors and broke the showcases in the store. The colored man was in store, but he escaped injury by hiding under a counter. The man was ordered to leave the town, and it is said he has promised to do so at once, notwithstanding he owns his home in addition to the grocery store. There were some women in the attacking party tonight. The indignation is said to have been aroused by alleged immoral conduct on the part of the man. He has been a resident of the town for five years. HOW RACE PREJUDICE MAY BE REMOVED An interesting story of how prejudice against a race can be removed by learning to like one of its members comes from the Provident hospital, in Chicago's "Black Belt." It began as a Negro enterprise and has graduated 118 Negro nurses. A white boy was recently hurried to the hospital terribly ill with pneumonia. His mother, a southern woman, telegraphed from the East, urging his removal to some other hospital. It was too late for that. The doctors gave him up. But the Negro nurse did not. For thirty-six hours with not a moment's rest she fought for his life, and won. The boy's mother is no longer prejudiced against Negro trained nurses. DISCOVERED (St. Louis Post-Dispatch.)

RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Washington, Jan. 5.—Freedmen of the Cherokee nation will share in a distribution of the nation's tribal lands and funds. The District Court of Appeals here so held today in a decision which will distribute among the freedmen some $5,000,000 of money and property. A colored school teacher, living near Guthrie, Okla., was recently offered one hundred thousand dollars for a piece of land which cost him less than a thousand dollars. An oil well has been recently opened on his land that is bringing him in an income of $50 per day net. By a deal which was closed last week and in which a consideration of $30,000 was involved, a tract of land near Thornton, Ill., to be used for the purpose of a Negro cemetery, and to be known by the name of Mount Forest cemetery, was acquired, reports a Chicago correspondent. Crawfordsville, Ind., Jan. 1.—The post master here conferred quite an honor on Herbert H. King, the only colored postman in the city during the holiday rush. Mr. King was given entire charge of the parcel post delivery with three white assistants under him. Ten thousand pieces of mail were delivered without an error. This is the Christmas record for any employe in the office, white or black. Dayton, O., Jan. 2.—Once more the members of the colored lodges of Elks lose in their efforts to retain insignia, emblems and other equipment common to the white fraternity, because the court of appeals has affirmed the decision handed down some time ago, and Judge Risinger permanently enjoined the colored men from using the name and insignia of the white order. The case was appealed. It is not believed that the contention will go higher. Juarez, Mex, Dec. 31.—The soldier life of Arthur Slaughter, an American Negro, ended abruptly in Jaurez today when he was shot ten hours after he enlisted in the rebel army. Slaughter, with four other Negroes, donned a uniform and a gun and was stationed in the bull ring. He decided he wanted some coffee and on going out, ignored the sentry's order to halt. In an encounter Slaughter fired, and the sentry, also an American Negro, fired back, killing Slaughter instantly. NO 19 Albany, Dec. 20.—Albany people experienced a sight that caused many to express regret at the departure of the Tenth Cavalry for Mexico last week, going as they were to defend the Stars and Stripes, and rallying again at the call to arms to defend the Flag that our fathers and brothers bled and suffered for, the flag that every colored man guards with his life and never yet has raised a hand or uttered a word of disrespect against; to defend this. Flag that waves all over this broad Land of the Free and Home of the Brave. R. H. Colerance, the colored man recently elected to the City Council of Winchester, Ky., has resigned as a member of that body because the white members refused to sit with him. According to report they failed to show up on the day they were to be sworn in; this to embarrass the colored brother. Colerance went before a notary public, who administered him the oath of office. He was asked to resign by the white members. He did so. At first blush this seems a high-handed piece of intustice, and it is. We do not have many cases so flagrant as that. Perhaps there has never been a case of the kind before, at least in recent years. In the language of the street, "It is out there." However, it is only one of the things that make for our great race problem.—Freeman. New York, December 23.—The return of Bert Williams to the Palace Theater yesterday afternoon brought out a crowd that packed the music hall to its doors. Williams was warmly greeted when he came on and was not permitted to leave the stage until he had added several songs to the list he had prepared, including, of course, "Nobody" and "In the Evening," followed by the now famous pantomime of the poker game. But there were several new songs, the best of which, "You Can't Get Away From It," dealt with the prevailing dance craze. It was followed by one of the most excruciatingly funny pantomimes Williams ever has devised, in which he circled an imaginary partner through a tango and a turkey trot. There was another song in which he described how he would carve up a porker party with a razor unless the game was played according to him, and not to Hoyle. Between songs, of course, he told stories. CONDENSATION OF FRESH NEWS THE LATEST IMPORTANT DIS PATCHES PUT INTO SHORT, CRISP PARAGRAPHS.

Newly Organized League Orders Departation of Eighteen Men Charged With Being "Troublemakers." Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.-Five hundred armed men were prepared Saturday night to leave Steamboat Springs and order points in Routt county at an hour's notice for the coal camp at Oak Creek to enforce the ultimatum of the Routt County Taxpayers' League and eighteen men, including members of the United Mine Workers of America and others, leave the county "on pain of death." Two hundred strikers, armed, and under orders from E. L. Doyle, secretary-treasurer of their organization, to "shoot to kill," awaited their coming. Word of the ultimatum, framed at the meeting of the league was conveyed to the strikers by their Steamboat Springs attorney, who narrowly escaped mobbing during the excitement Friday night. The ultimatum, printed on placards, reads as follows: "The Routt County Taxpayers' League, representing 1,000 taxpayers, business men and ranchmen, in all parts of the county, hereby demand: "One—That Frank Garnier, John Ferguson, Alex Ferguson, Rusty Ferguson, Thomas Bryant, John Howard, Peter Ciscnero, J. E. Thompson, Martin Stinehart, Jim Sullivan, John Creek, W. M. Doyle, Tom Piercen, Dave Reedy, James Ray, K. Clemens, Chas Stark and Mike Pitcher leave Routt county within twenty-four hours. All agitators and troublemakers who follow them will be given equally brief notice. "Two—That within a reasonably short time, all abledbodied men in Oak Creek camp shall be at work or leave the camp. "Three—Any person interefering with or intimidating a workman will be given twenty-four hours in which to leave the county. "The Routt county taxpayers, 500 strong say they mean business, and will see that the demand is obeyed." The men who have been given twenty-four hours to leave the county include United Mine Workers organizers and officials, strikers who have repeatedly attacked non-union workmen, and in addition four saloon and dive keepers at Oak Creek, on whom is placed a great deal of the responsibility for lawlessness. Doyle said that Hawkins' advice, which he had communicated to the Oak Creek men, had been to resist deportation to the point of death. Steamboat Springs, Colo., Jan. 6.—As a result of a demand of the Routt county taxpayers made directly to the striking miners of Oak Creek that all agitators and organizers for the United Mine Workers of America leave that camp within 24 hours, two organizers and two agitators left Oak Creek for Denver. It is understood here that seven more men, whose names were included in the list of "undesirables," will leave Oak Creek before the arrival of the militia from Trinidad today.

Denver, Colo AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS New York has a society whose purpose is to fight against the development of a negro "ghetto" in the American cities. It is the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, whose membership includes many persons socially prominent in New York, together with a company of serious-minded colored people. The headquarters are at No. 110 West Fordith street. Mrs. William H. Baldwin, Jr., was recently elected chairman of the executive board. Other members of the league are: Mrs. Haley Fiske, George McAenany, Sillas McBee, William H. Maxwell, William Jay Schieffelin, Isaac N. Seligman, George W. Seligman, Charles D. Hilles, the Rev. William Adams Brown, Paul J. Sachs, Theodore M. Taft, Albert Shaw, Judge Joseph F. Mulqueen and Major R. R. Moton. The league has affiliated organizations in Philadelphia, Chicago, Louisville, St. Louis, Richmond and Norfolk, Va.; Augusta, Ga., and Wilmington, Del. Its biggest work, however, is in New York, where the negro population is now more than 90,000, being more than in any other city in America, except Washington. "Our work here includes many branches of activity," said Eugene K. Jones, associate director in charge of the local work. "We have a committee for improving industrial conditions, which seeks to organize workers in the various occupations, and by this means help our people to better things. For instance, we have organized one group into the Colored Public Porters' association, for the purpose of guarding the public against unscrupulous porters. The organization is raising the standard of reliability and efficiency among its members. Workers in other occupations are similarly organized. "Then we have a vocational exchange, operated in connection with the housing bureau, at No. 127 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, in the thickly populated negro section of Harlem. This exchange is being made a clearing house through which applicants for help and for positions may be referred to reliable philanthropic and commercial employment agencies. Positions have been secured for 197 persons." It takes three seconds for a cable message to cross the ocean. Of the material success of certain colored men in the south, the Crisis contains this: "Ocala, Fla., has 3,000 colored inhabitants, and there are 12,000 others in the surrounding county. This has offered a chance for industrial cooperation. There is a thriving sea island cotton factory, considerable exporting of moss and velvet beans, while colored men have numerous stores and are supporting professional men. Recently the Metropolitan Realty and Investment company has been organized and has erected a $20,000 building. In this a bank with a capital of $25,000 has been located. The president of the company, George Giles, is a large holder of real estate. The vice-president, Joseph L. Wiley, is the founder of Fessenden academy, and the cashier, F. P. Gadson, is the owner of the largest dry goods and notion store owned by a colored man in the United States. Other directors are Dr. Williams, a well-to-do physician; A. S. Richardson, D. W. Goodwin, Charles Stewart, J. S. LaRoche, N. T. Brown and S. H. Hadley." By a deal which was closed last week and in which a consideration of $30,000 was involved, a tract of land near Thornton, Ill., to be used for the purpose of a negro cemetery, and to be known by the name of Mount Forest cemetery, was acquired, reports a Chicago correspondent. In a communication to the Kansas City Star a correspondent, "Lacey," writes as follows: "Africa is not the place for the American negro. As yet we have not heard enough to warrant our going there. I don't think the negroes of the United States should sacrifice our fifty years of success here to start all over in a barren, half-civilized country. Here we have our own churches, schools and colleges. Now comes Chief Sam and asks us to break these up, leave all we have worked for and go back. If Africa is as rich as Chief Sam suggests it will not want for others who will seize its riches." It is said that descent can be traced from only 49 passengers that came over in the Mayflower, the rest having died without issue. When George Schwartz, a farmer in Scranton, Pa., cut down an oak tree he found imbedded in its heart a pine tree shilling dated 1652. As a universal danger signal, a Denver firm has designed and copyrighted signs bearing a human hand, across the palm of which appear the words "Safety First." In London a motor bus proprietor has to comply with between 50 and 60 conditions before he can obtain a li- Writing in the Baltimore American, the Rev. J. U. King, pastor of the Union Methodist Episcopal church at St. Michael's, Md., has this to say: "To be successful in the development of the soil we must have scientific training; thus well-equipped agricultural colleges for the negro are indispensable. The day of the ignorant and superstitious farmer has passed. Superstition is being replaced by science, ignorance by knowledge, inefficiency by efficiency. "If the white man, who is nearing the top of the hill of our great material endeavor, needs the advantages of a well-equipped agricultural college, how much greater are the needs of those who only yesterday, like goods and chattels, served as a medium of commercial exchange; who stand at the very foot of the hill struggling to ascend? This efficiency will not only be of benefit to all of those whose racial identity I bear, but more far reaching than the average person would imagine will be the benefits derived by the white people as well. Observation alone has evidently taught every thoughtful white man that the increase of mental, moral and material efficiency on the part of the negro means the decrease of ignorance, idleness and crime. We live side by side with our white neighbor, and be our contribution to this great social fabric helpful or baneful he is affected accordingly and commensurately. "Is it not, therefore, the highest wisdom on the part of every constituent part of a community to welcome cordially every means that will permanently establish the criterion: All men up, and not some men down?" More's been accomplished with a good set of nerves then by the fellers what gits by on their nerve. Organization of an Omaha branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is now being completed. Over 25 people, most of them colored, have joined the local movement, which has for its purpose the economic, political and social advancement of the American negro. John H. Grove of the Grove-Wharton allied business interests, was one of the white men who helped the association to establish a branch in Omaha, and he has been elected treasurer. The other officers, all colored, are: Rev. William T. Osborne, pastor of St. John's African Methodist church, president; Thomas Reese, 2723 Miami street, vice-president; Samuel L. Patton, 2420 Patrick avenue, recording secretary; Jesse Merchant, 712 North Twenty-eighth avenue, corresponding secretary. Meetings have been held monthly at St. John's African Methodist church since the organization began here three months ago. Dr. C. M. B. Mason of New York, national organizer for the association, helped to promote the new branch in Omaha. Rev. John Albert Williams, rector of the colored church of St. Philip the Deacon, is also an active member, and says that membership is open to all persons, either white or colored, who wish to participate in the national move for the advancement of the black man. Hereafter meetings will be held every two weeks, and an executive committee will be chosen to assume active charge of the association's work in Omaha. It shore would be a fine thing if this rest cure business was for them as really needs it. An interesting story of how prejudice against a race can be removed by learning to like one of its members comes from the Provident hospital, in Chicago's "Black Belt." It began as a negro enterprise and has graduated 118 negro nurses. A white boy was recently hurried to the hospital terribly ill with pneumonia. His mother, a southern woman, telegraphed from the east, urging his removal to some other hospital. It was too late for that. The doctors gave him up. But the negro nurse did not. For thirty-six hours with not a moment's rest she fought for his life, and won. The boy's mother is no longer prejudiced against negro trained nurses. Fuel oil consumption this year by the United States navy is estimated at 30,000,000 gallons. More than 10,000 boys under sixteen years of age were injured in mines in Great Britain last year in such a way as to disable them for more than a week. There are about a million coal mine workers altogether, one worker in every seven being killed or injured last year. Carlsbad by law requires all buildings to be as nearly fireproof as possible, with the result that the city's firemen earn most of their wages as chimney sweeps. A Norwegian company has patented a secret process for producing 98 per cent, nitric acid from the 30 per cent, acid it has been making from atmospheric nitrogen.

OF INTEREST TO ALL We are approaching a very interesting election, that means much to our city and state in general, because it affects its financial condition, and to us as a people the result is far reaching. Let us not lose sight of the fact that upon its results hangs the problem as to whether Capital will be safe when invested in Colorado securities. The Water question is of long standing, and the Colorado Statesman urges its readers to study carefully the plan suggested by the Retail Association before taking sides with its opponents, as it should be borne in mind, that if Capital is barred, we as wage earners will find very poor picking. Let us review with care the relative positions of the leaders of the contending forces, Let us without prjudice decide which of the two we could follow, and render the best service to the community as a whole, and to ourselves as a people, who are usually overlooked by the greatest of the reformers. The Moffat tun- nel is another far reaching issue, which must also be decided, and no man or woman should fail to consider the issue, as it means much to the tax paying electors, Bear in mind that by failing to participate in this clection great harm may be done which will require years to rectify Later the Colorado Statesman will publish in full all details in the matter herein referred to, but in the meantime it is hoped that each voter will be on his or her guard, . eee eee t CHRISTIANITY AND MOHAMMEDANISM Religion is humanity’s Ship of Passage across the Sea of Life. It is deck, sail, compass and anchor, It is the sole reason on which man confidently relies to explain the mystery of the Great Voyage. But there are more than one ship. Each separate division of men has builded its own ship and some of them have stood the voyage for ages. And these divisioas of men love and trust the ships built by their fathers, because they have carried them safely through genera- tions and have never foundered, But all of these ships of passage, though designed for the same purpose, are not built alike. One is trim, sleck, powerful and speedy; another is massive, bulky and slow of progress. So the swifter ship speaks to the slower and says: “Come with us, for we sail fast and see more of the fulness of the earth and the greatness of life.’ And the slower ship replies : No! Come with us if you will, for our voyage is calm and serene and ful of beautiful contemplation of all things that pass.” Then the swifter ship says: “ We will sail about you and dazzle you with,our superior power, and then if you will aot come with us willingly, we shall take you in tow. We do not want your ship—It is unworthy, but we want the wealth in your hold and we seek to save the souls of your passen- gers. For this our guns shall menace you and our might debase you, until you abandon your hulk and come aboard, Let those who re- main sink and perish with the wreck. Ours is the only safe ship and we sail the only trae course.” ‘The name of this fast sailing vessel is “Christianity,” and the se- rene, slow plodding one is called “ Islam,” the Mohammedan, Chris- tianity was not designed for armed conquest, but her crew, blinded with power and the love of material gain, bas long ‘since abandoned her chart. Many peoples yet give \heir allegiance to Islam. Nay, more; they are declaring aloud that for their millions, Islam is the, true exanple, and for the world the way of truth and light, The Sultan of Turkey is their chosen representative, and Arabia, Egypt and all North Africa swarm with bis adherants, who pay him faithful and changeless homage, Their reglion is their greatest social and ec- onomic force, but political exploitation and conquest are not supreme: tenets of their faith. And around this vast, devout but non-aggressive myriads of mos- lem adherents. the militant usurpers of Christian ethics are casting their brilliant lights in the false name of progress, despoiling and at- taching their lands and’taking over the control of their governments, Abandonding true Christian ideals and mandates; nevertheless even great pelates sanction the mad lust for increased power as to bless the missio s uf the Godless conquerers, ‘he latest example of this pro- gram o exploitation is the conquest of Tripoli by the Ltalians. It is done in the name of civilizytion and Christian progress. It means more thin the sincere, way fariug Christian stops to realize. It chale Jenges « cy flict of religions and to all Moslems must appear an arro- gant and unj ust attempt to annihilate their faith. There seems to be small wisdow in this hypocritical course of Christian advancement. ‘The w irld may not know what sullen passions may be crystulizing in the neari~ of thos+ who are numerically greater than all Christian- dom, For the tim: being, they may snffer patiently, but if human niuued» - nt assert itself through the revolt of present generations, there is e + gr forthe fature; for out of the foundation of Chris- tiani y 1 elf c.mes the inevitable luw : Behold, the meek shall in. herit the) rh” | Maras, which lead us to believe that we are in the saving class. Some even economize when it comes to giving anything away. Some peopl would love to do it, but can’t afford it; it is one of the few things that they have to do without. It has undoubtedly become the fashion to be economical. Becaus¢ [women are always the leaders in following fashion’s changes, it may truly be said that they are leading here. For my part, I will admit that I may have my faults, but never that I am extravagant. That is asking alto- gether too much of me. One might as well be asked to admit that one is incapable! Tt used to seem fairly indecent not to have rather more money than was needed about one, and to speak of any economic strain cast a blight upon the conversation. I hate to seem prejudiced, but really I would much rather hear a man talk about economy than see his expression as the warmed-over roast comes on thé table! Ideals are everything with a true men, but practic- ing economy is apt to seem a little crude, to jar him in his sensitive nature Besides, the roast is generally in disguise, and deception is abhorrent to him. : “Bargain basements” were not made for men, who generally prefet that a thing should cost something before they prize it, but for the count. less women that one sees every working day in the week diving boldly downward in search of hidden treasure. There is a sort of annex for /men at some of these places; mostly, I am convinced, so that women car here buy presents for their male friends and relatives, for you seldom | see a man there unless he is paid to stay. | Every now and then one reads a story of the rise in life of some ‘clever politician or successful man, where the wife is unable to follow ‘because of her long apprenticeship to sordid care; where, in fact, she hat helped to make him the successful man he is at the sacrifice of all her youthful longings. There are almost as many, perhaps more, stories of men driven tc crime for the sake of some willful woman’s foolish desires, but I believe both of these classes are exceptional. Who writes about the normal little woman, who loves pretty things, but goes without when necessary, making much out of little and optimistic to the last? This “postgraduate course” in spending the money which some one else earns is sometimes a painful process, but I believe it is responsible for the fact that married women, at least in middle life, are usually econom- ical. The woman who earns her own living may be economical from neces- sity, but she has the same air of freedom in spending that characterizezt man as soon as she is past the danger line. This practicing of economy of ours is, after all, rather a “slave- morality.” But just the same, through it, like the Israelites passing through their land of bondage, we are learning how to take eare of oun selves and of our goods and learning to make the world give us a show for - our money. And that is something! Clava Ctice Crore, ence, archwoloyy, history and common sense, and would be discarded as « relic of outworn credulity. But the situation has notably changed. So-called contradictions have been found unreal. From a constructive standpoint the Bible is more widely recognized than ever. No man is considered educated unless he has a knowledge of this book. According to the latest authentic returns from publishers the Bible is the “best seller” on the market today. The bugbear of “higher criticism” has been laid to rest. Its radical claims have been modified and its net results are a girl to the world of 2 context of historic investigation in which the Bible has an enriched value and deeper meaning than ever before. Its rough treatment at the hands of its critics has been the dispelling of superstitions about it. There is, to be sure, a sacrilegious handling of the Bible that is degrading, but there is in human nature also a “fearsome awe” which can overcome superstition. We want“a sane, healthy, reverent approach to this book of books Use it right and it will bring you patience, comfort and hope. Empbasis.upon the Bible comes to us at a time when the majority of our popular literature is of a questionable character. Tt caters too much to the morbid, sensational, abnormal side of life. It is unhealthy. Contrast this vicious and neurotic type of modern literature with the sweet spirit of patience end hope generated by the Bible. Some day the world will sicken of the lurid appeals to its unwholesome weaknesses, and hungry souls will return to be fed at the hand of omnipotence. vision. ‘The eye of the spirit sweeps wide horizons.

THE ZION BAPTIST CHURCH 24th Ave., and Ogden St., David E. Over, Minister. The banquet, given by the men to the ladies of the church, was the most splendid affair of the kind ever seen in the city. Such gatherings as this under the auspices of the church mean much for the social welfare of the city. The church must not forget its obligation to society any more than its obligation to the needs of the individual. The week of prayer, observed during last week, will result in great good for the work of the church. it was the launching of a three months campaign of soul-winning, which we hope to see culminate at the Easter time in a great harvest. The church is being prepared for the observance of City-wide prayer meeting, which will be held in all the churches on Wednesday evening, the 21st of the month. Every member and friend is requested to be present at that time. Sunday morning the pastor will preach from the subject, "The Triumph of Faith." BETHLEHEM BAPTIST CHURCH . NOTES.

In the days when Halli was chief of the village, peace and prosperity were enjoyed by the red men. To their very door Little Traverse Bay brought fish in great abundance. Halli's only daughter, Winona, was famed throughout all that region for her beauty and goodness. From childhood her favorite among the young Ojibways had been Neoma. He was renowned as the swiftest runner and the most daring hunter of the tribe. All the people looked for Neoma to wed Winona and, when the old chief was dead, rule in his stead. It was then that trouble came to the peaceful and happy village. A little to the east, on the bank of a beautiful stream, a wily Indian named Motchimanitou came to make his home. The stranger was false-hearted, and in league with the spirits of evil. Soon he held a spell upon the village. Halli boldly called Motchimanitou to a council and when the stranger departed, the old chief emerged from his wigwam, his head bowed and his face somber. The next day Neoma went to the chief and asked Winina's hand in marriage. "Once I am your son O Halli, we will lead the warriors against the evil one at the brook," the young brave said. "Nay, nay, Neoma! We would be powerless against the mighty Motchimanitou. There is only one way. If Winina becomes his wife he will no longer be our enemy; instead of cursing he will bless us." It was in vain that Neoma cried out against that plan. The old chief was firm. For three days there was much excitement in the village. On the morning of the fourth Neoma and his birch canoe were gone. That was not all; Winona had left her father's wigwam. The lovers made their way in the canoe to a small, uninhabited island far out in Lake Michigan. There the young warrior built a wigwam. From the lake they obtained fish, and Neoma visited the mainland in his canoe, bringing back plenty of game. The two were very happy all through the golden autumn when, according to the legends of thier tribe, Shawondasee, the South Wind, ruled the land, and From his pipe the smoke ascending Filled the sky with haze and vapor, Filled the air with dreamy softness, Gave a twinkle to the water. ness, Brought the tender Indian summer. One day Neoma went to the mainland on a hunting expedition. He was gone until sunset, bringing back in his canoe the carcass of a deer. The wigwam was deserted. Neoma recalled Motchimanitou. He hastened to that brave's home and soon learned that Winona was indeed a prisoner there. She was confined in a cave, and, because the entrance to her prison was guarded by evil spirits, all Neoma's efforts to rescue his bride were in vain. Always Winona was singing the weird death song of their tribe. Thus did Neoma know that hope had died in the malden's breast. On a summer morning Neoma climbed to the top of a tall pine that stood near the cave's mouth. Directly beneath him a pool, formed by the damming of the brook, sparkled and gleamed in the rays of sunlight that stole down through the foliage, to touch its placid surface with caressing fingers. Suddenly Neoma saw an unusual commotion below him. From the cave came several warriors of his native village. They bore with them a burden, and the young brave's heart broke when he saw that it was the dead from of Winona. The maiden had died of grief, and the cruel Motchimantou had given permission for her people to carry her body away for burial. There was nothing for Neoma to live for. He began to sing the same plaintive death song that had been ever on the lips of his beloved. 'Still singing he threw himself down, to die in the pool below. So sad was it all that the waters of the brook took up the weird chant, and still they sing it. In days of storm and wind the song rose so high that the Indians gave to the stream the name of Roaring Brook. Today the stream threads its way through the woods to discharge its water in the bay. Near the bay the stream widens, and there among the gnarled roots of the venerable cedars, crossed by decaying tree trunks, is the spot where Neoma went to his death. We the tourist lingers there he will hear the weird death song, always providing that he has in his possession the key of imagination that unlocks the gateway to the realm of fancy. Donald's description of the performing bear that he had seen down the street grew perceptibly more picturesque when it developed that no other member of the family had seen the animal, and enlarged from just a plain bear into a monstrous grizzly. Skeptical Dorothy, from her superior eight years, questioning some of his details, even demanded proof that it was a grizzly at all. The convincing rejoinder was forthcoming that while he had been standing right across the street from the bear he had "distinctly heard it grizzle."—Woman's Home Companion. 1728 $ \frac{1}{2} $ Wazee St. Only one block from Union.Depot Phone Main 8416.

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 by-laws relative to non-resident members. It is not the desire to burden you with facts and figures, but to entertain you—on paper now, and in the hope that some day we may entertain you in person. Therefore let's make an inspection of the Association quarters. The Rocky Mountain Athletic Association is housed in a twenty-room two-story brick building situated at 2014 Champa street, Denver, Colorado, on a plot of ground 50x125 feet, one block from the new postoffice now buildings. In preparation for its occupancy this building was remodeled a year ago. BENCHROOM The pool and billiard room is high class.

MARTINE MISTRESS OF ROBES FROM OPPOSITION RANK I woman of today; ; the emancipated woman more poise." A. B. Thus epigrammatically spoke Mrs. Robert La Follette, wife of the senator from Wisconsin, in discussing her views of present-day affairs and conditions. She spoke alertly and enthusiastically of widely varied subjects in which she is interested, and she expressed the salient point uppermost in her mind, regarding various phases of modern thought, with the effectiveness of the person who knows what she thinks about what she knows. A vivacity born of physical and mental animation marked her every word. And then, after moments of earnest absorption in her subject, a ringing laugh that fairly shook her tiny frame would suddenly break forth to remind one of the presence of a mischievous love of fun lurking in the background of her nature. She has the youthful attitude which means liberality and desire for relaxation from petty constraint. "We must get away from these old conventions," she said, "that govern and restrain our lives. So many of them now are dead that we find ourselves sometimes tacitly following laws for which the object has long since passed away. The fuller and freer life is the one to work for. Adjustment to For years the English reading world has regarded Mark Twain's noted heroine Becky Thatcher, who was Tom Sawyer's sweetheart, as a fragile, gentle little piece of Dresden china, ready to break at the slightest touch. When lost in the big cave with Tom Becky was terribly frightened. Mary Ann "Tom. Tom!" she cried, "We're lost! We're lost! We can never get out of this awful place! Oh, why did we ever leave the others!" "She sank to the ground," the story says, "and burst into such a frenzy of crying that Tom was appalled with the idea that she might die, or lose her reason. He sat down by her and put his arms around her. She buried her face in his bosom, she clung to him, she poured out her terrors, her unavailing regrets, and the far echoes turned them all to jeering laughter. Tom begged her to pluck up hope again, and she said she could not." So it was all the way through the book, so popular with young America An adaptable personality is one of the most desirable assets an individual can possess. Essential to a man who aspires to public life, it is also desirable for the wife. M. Such a woman—and she considers it more of a compliment to be called a woman than a lady—is Mrs. James Edgar Martine, wife of the senator from New Jersey. The situation which tested her powers of adaptability and served as an acknowledgment of her mettle presented itself just prior to her marriage. Hear her tell of it, and mark the naivete with which she handled a molehill of contention that might easily have been magnified into a mountain of dispute. "I was taught," she said, "and long, too, before I had the power of understanding any such weighty subject, that the only profitable political opin- The present liberal government of England has been compelled to confer the appointment of mistress of the robes to the queen, in former years considered highly political, on a political opponent in the person of the duchess of Devon-shire.

I cannot put up with the 'standpatness' in the general attitude any more than my husband can in politics. So I am an advocate of investigation of all the new methods to release humanity from the shackles of old ideas. "The new awakening among women will be one of the strongest factors to bring about this condition. They will begin to be interested in the great democratic government under which we live. They ought to have been interested all along, since it affected them as much years ago as today. But now a wholesome interest is coming to bring about intelligent discussion in the home and provide a basis for fuller companionship between man and wife. "Why, this old idea that woman should remain in the home has not the foundation that existed for it in our grandmothers' day. Think of the work manufacturers of today are taking from our minds and hands. Women do not have to spend time making candles or soap. These things and countless others are already done for them, and their attention should be directed to more enlightening pursuits. "But we still cling to these old ideas, even in regard to housekeeping. Why cannot we see immediately the effectiveness of co-operative buying? I do not go so far as to say co-operative housekeeping. No, we continue to think trat a good housewife should go to market and finger over everything before she buys it; whereas if we would but spend a little time working out a practical plan for buying directly from the producer much of our expense and trouble would be eliminated and, what is more important, time for more interesting things saved." —Tom, the brave, manly, young fellow, as he should have been; Becky, the timid, frightened little slip of a girl, as she was not. Becky Thatcher, it is explained by every authority at Hannibal, Mo., where they know all about Mark Twain and where they recently celebrated his birthday, was sketched from a pretty girl, who became the wife of Doctor Frazer, and who is now his widow. She is yet living in Hannibal, where she is known as Mrs. Laura Frazer, a kind-hearted woman. But the model for Becky Thatcher was anything but a weak, clinging heroine. She had the courage of a soldier. The trial came to her during the Civil war, and she stood the test. Her courage and diplomacy undoubtedly saved the life of her husband. Shortly before his death Mark Twain sent his photograph to Mrs. Frazer, and wrote upon it this inscription of tender recollection: "To Laura Frazer, from her earliest sweetheart." It should first be explained that 1862 was a terrible year in Missouri. Bushwhackers, guerrillas and some militia almost as bad terrorized the state from river to river. The officers in the service of the federal government sought by rigorous methods to put down outlawry and depredations, and some of them went so far that they brought upon their own heads greater censure than fell to the restless partisans. ion worth possessing was the Republican one. If the Republicans happened to be out of power, I was told not to be faint-hearted or vacillating, but to believe that it was only the crude quantity of the Democrats temporarily triumphant over the fine quality of the Republicans. "At the same time I managed to acquire and retain a bigoted attitude of mind regarding the 'inferior Democrats' that was quite unwholesome. I was also brought up in the Episcopal church and became stanch in my adherence to its practices. I, therefore, found myself as a young lady with two firmly established predelictions. "Then I met Mr. Martine. He was a Democrat and a Presbyterian; a Democrat who knew why he was one. "After a while we were to be married. But how could we ever agree when our opinions were so radically different! I was puzzled. I decided that we would each have to make a concession to the other, so I said to him, "If you'll be an Episcopalian, I'll be a Democrat." That settled it. Each of us altered one of our views, but clung to the other; saved our self-respect and indulged in a little pleasurable capitulation, which was extremely satisfying." the present mistress of the robes, although coming from an old liberal family, which left the party over Gladstone's home rule policy and nearly came back to it when the unionists adopted Joseph Chamberlain's policy of tariff reform, is one of the stalwarts of the present opposition. However, the liberals have nothing to fear. In the old days, when queens really ruled, and even in the early days of Victoria's reign, the mistress of the robes was an important personage, and it was considered necessary that she should be of the same political party as the government of the day, so that she might bring the right kind of influence to bear on the sovereign. Now, however, her chief duty is to stand beside the queen at state functions and control the maids of honor. 130 SLAIN IN TWO-DAY BATTLE FEDERALS WHIPPED AND DRIVEN BACK IN FIGHT AT TORREON, MEXICO. CAPTURED28PRISONERS WILSON'S CONFERENCE WITH JOHN LIND REPORTED SATISFACTORY. Western Newspaper Union News Service. El Paso, Tex., Jan. 8.—One hundred and thirty soldiers, eighty-seven federals and the rest rebels, were killed in a battle between Huerta and Constitutionalist forces, eight miles northwest of Torreon, according to advices reaching General F. A. Benavides at Juarez from Chihuahua. Two thousand Federals, who had sallied out from the protection of the wall's of Torreon, evidently to attempt a flank movement around the right wing of the rebel forces besieging the city, were driven back into Torreon after a struggle that lasted nearly two days. Of the eighty-seven Federalals killed, six were officers. Twenty-eight prisoners were captured by the Federalals, according to the reports received by General Benevides. The heaviest fighting occurred in the open country between Aviles and Salamanca, suburbs of Torreon. The defeat of Pena is said to have demoralized the Federal army of 4,000 men in Torreon. Constitutionalist forces under Col. Eulalia Gutierez and Gen. José y Roiles have recaptured the important towns of Parras, General Copeda and San Pedro, Coahuila, from Federal forces, after three days' fighting, according to official advices also received by General Benavides. Parras and General Copeda are situated on the National railway line connecting Saltillo with Torreon. Possession of these two points gives the Rebels a big advantage over the Federal army' Torreon, which is more thoroughly than ever now cut off from communication. Washington.—Officials here have learned that President Wilson regards his recent conference with John Lind as very satisfactory and that its prime purpose to unfold the President's plans and purposes toward Mexico more clearly than could have been done by long-distance communication was very successful. Chief Wood Asks $6,000,000 War Fund Washington.—Explaining that his judgment was not influenced by the Mexican situation, Major Gen. Wood, chief of staff of the army, has advised committees of Congress that it should appropriate $3,000,000 for field guns and ammunition for the regular army and $3,000,000 for the militia. Soldiers Take Control at Oak Creek. Oak Creek.—With the coming of the soldiers the Taxpayers' League has agreed to remain quiet as long as peace prevails in the Routt county strike fields. Company G of the Second infantry, under Captain Dorn, arrived and took quarters in a double storeroom in the steam-heated bank building. The building is in the center of town and contains the postoffice. Three of the six tent colonies of strikers in town are within half a block of the military headquarters, which are chosen as the logical point from which to watch the district. Patrols have been established, and all Oak Creek saloons closed. MONTANA LAD SLAYS FATHER. Great Falls, Mont.—Details of a tragedy at Chester, Mont., in which Adolph Schuder, a farmer, was shot and killed by his 15-year-old son, Adolph, were received here. Ladimer Shadek, a neighbor, called at the Schuder home and became involved in a quarrel with Schuder. The latter ran into his house for a shotgun and Shadek fled toward his own home. Schuder pursued his foe in a buggy, firing at him until he stopped and begged for his life. Schuder then tied Shadek hand and foot and told his wife and son, who had followed him, that he was going to drag him to death behind the buggy. The boy seized the shotgun and killed his father. At an inquest the lad testified that his father had declared that as soon as he finished with Shadek he would kill Mrs. Schuder and Adolph for interfering. Vienna.—Martial law was proclaimed at Avlona, the Albanian seaport on the Adriatic Sea. Twists Nose of Trooper: Fined $50. Pueblo.—George Geiser, proprietor of a plumbing establishment here and candidate for water commissioner at the last election, and a union man, twisted the nose of Orville Rogers, a militiaman here on recruiting duty, when he met him on the street. Then he whipped out a pair of scissors and cut all the buttons off Rogers' uniform while he held the soldier. Wednesday he was fined $50 and costs in police court and ordered held in jail until he paid it. SENDS PROTEST TO LANE HENEHAN WARNS AGAINST BLOW IN RADIUM ACTION. Mining Commissioner Sees Loss of $2,190,000 Annually to State in Proposed Withdrawal. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Thomas R. Henehan, state mining commissioner, has prepared for submission to the Interior Department at Washington figures to show that for the first eleven months of 1913 nearly 55 per cent of the carnotite (radium-bearing ores) shipped from western Colorado was positively known to have been treated in the United States, while another 15 per cent was shipped to New York without its final destination being known. Only 30 per cent, he points out, was actually consigned to Europe. In a letter to Secretary of the Interior Lane, protesting against the government's reported policy to withdraw from entry all lands believed to contain radium-bearing ores, Henehan points out that all carnotite companies in this state were financed by Americans, "with the exception of one company which was financed in Europe, but a majority of whose directors are American citizens." Henehan declares in his letter that if the government withdraws the radium-bearing lands of the public domain, it will impose an irreparable injury upon the development of the entire mineral resources of Colorado. "The withdrawal, for example, of the carnotite fields of Dolores, San Miguel, Montrose, Mesa and Rio Blanco counties," he says, "would mean loss of an annual payroll of millions of dollars to Colorado miners. There are 200 miners engaged in mining carnotite in these counties. When the metallurgical process has been worked out, these fields should give employment to not less than 2,000 miners, at an average wage of $3 per day. This would create an annual payroll of $2,190,000." Gold Produced. Colorado's gold production since the pioneer days of 1859 is given below as returned by the director of the mint: Year.

Denver.—A beautiful bronze clock has been put in place at the Colfax and Sherman avenue entrance to the state capitol building by the members of the Sherman Avenue Improvement Association, which was organized twenty-five years ago. The clock was installed from a surplus in the treasury of the association resulting from over-assessment of the members many years ago. The sons of the trustees of that fund and J. A. Thatcher and Senator Charles S. Thomas have had charge of the work. The original board of trustees comprised J. A. Thatcher, Senator Thomas, the late Judge Decker, the late Charles B. Kountze, the late George McCartney, the late Thomas F. Hayden, the late W. H. James and the late B. F. Woodward. State Charities Board Makes Report. Denver.—Secretary Thomas of the State Board of Charities and Correction completed compiling his annual report on delinquency and dependency cases in the Juvenile and County Courts of the state during 1913. Following is a comparative table for the last three years: Character of Case. 1911, 1912, 1913.

Denver.—The state of Colorado, during the last year, innocently divided $20,000 in profits from crops grown by it on its own lands without knowing it. The land board recently discovered that a section of land, leased to a farmer near Cañon City for $400 a year, had been subleased by him to the state penitentiary for one-half the value of the product raised by the institution under the direction of Warden Tynan. The crops were worth $20,000, less expenses, and the farmer received $10,000.

It is woven in widths varying from about twenty-four to thirty-six inches, with both narrower and wider widths occasionally shown. The price ranges from about seventy-five cents to a dollar and a half a yard for average weight in the twenty-four and thirty-six-inch patterns. The thirty-six-inch width is most convenient for cutting the present styles in gowns, and one may calculate the amount required as equal to four times the height of the figure, with a little allowance for hems, in ```markdown ``` the narrower widths. In those a yard wide or more only twice the length of the figure, plus a half-yard, will be needed. This extra half-yard is consumed by hems and scant drapery in the skirt. If the design selected calls for an overdress or extra drapery, more material will be required. Patterns designate the amount needed, but for a simple dress the allowance given above is sufficient. In the simple and attractive dress shown in the picture a taffeta a yard wide was used, and four yards made the garment. It is in a sapphire blue (shot with black), with a high luster which is very brilliant and effective. The skirt is in two widths, shaped at the sides to fit the hips. The back breadth has a small cluster of gathers at the middle of the belt to give the Neckwear an Im AREFUL attention to the finishing details of the toilette is a mark of distinctive dressing. This is apparent in the matter of neckwear, and new ideas are advanced constantly by manufacturers of this important accessory of dress. A style is introduced and makes good with the public, becoming a fashion. Its manufacturers then vary it to suit women of various types and ages. The sailor collar and fichu motifs have predominated this season, and innumerable changes have been the result of their inspiration. But they are designed for the attractive and youthful neck and must be adapted to those who do not possess a round, plump throat. A guippe of perfectly plain, fine net, with high, smoothly fitting collar, is worn by the woman whose neck is not sightly when bare. This net is so fine and so well fitted that it is as smooth as the skin and smoother. Besides the fichu and sailor collar ideas there are many small fancy bows, ribbon flowers and Maline ornaments for wearing as a finish at the neck. Jabots are always worn and when they are not featured are replaced with frills finishing the "V" shaped opening at the neck of blouses. They are especially becoming to slender women, and the fine laces in style at present make beautiful ones. In designing neckwear those who produce it must consider how to make it becoming, and women in selecting it must consider whether it is suitable or not for them. The jabot with --- required culiness, and is hemmed along one edge. This edge is folded over the front breadth, curving in toward the bottom, and is stitched down to within eight inches of the bottom. From here down it falls open, but the front breadth lies under the opening. This gives room for an easy step. There is a three-inch hem at the bottom of the skirt. The kimona waist is cut with body and sleeves in one, with two plaits over the shoulders. This gives the effect under the arms of the fashionable "bat wing" sleeve. The open neck and sleeves are outlined with a narrow border of black fur, of which about two and a quarter yards are required. Anyone who knows even *a* little about sewing can put this very simple dress together. The skirt fastens with hooks and eyes (very small ones) at the left side, under the hem in the back breadth. It is hung to a fitted girdle. The kimona blouse is worn over a net waist or neckpiece and fastens surplice fashion in the front. A girdle of ribbon or a fancy belt is needed to finish this gown, and there are several styles that look well with it. The handsomest is the Roman striped girdle showing brilliant colors. This is made of ribbon about eight inches wide, finished with a loop and short ends at the front. A crushed girdle of brocaded ribbon in the rich colors of the season, fastened with a black velvet buckle at the left side, is very pretty. It has no ends, but is finished with an over lapping ruffle. A girdle made of black satin ribbon laid in folds about the waist and finished with a single long tab, makes a quiet finish. This tab should be rounded at the end and embroidered in bright colors, or gathered with a long tassel of silk or beads. Allowing four and a half yards of silk at a dollar and a quarter a yard, two and a quarter yards of fur at forty cents a yard, the materials, including sewing silk and hooks and eyes, may be bought for seven dollars. This leaves three dollars for the girdle and under waist, out of an appropriation of ten dollars. But nearly every one possesses a thin waist that is available for these kimona blouses, and girdles are a part of everyone's wardrobe this winter. At any rate, ten dollars will cover the expense of all the materials needed to furnish the gown, the girdle and the net under waist. Some of the new shades of dark green, the light shades of brown and the dull reeds make up in this style into gowns as satisfactory as the one pictured, which is smart and very useful. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. important Accessory straight band made of net finished at the top with three tucks, shown in the picture, is suited to the woman with a slim, long neck. Below the tucks a row of tiny jet beads or French knots make a pretty finish and lessen the apparent width of the collar. The jabot attached to the band is of finest shadow lace and simulates fichu ends. Black velvet ribbon outlines an opening at the throat where the fine net of the collar is let in in a small narrow "V." The jabot is finished at the bottom with a little velvet bow. Very small festoons of jet beads fasten the upper ends of the velvet to the neckband. They mark the point of the "V" and are placed on the little bow. Still more cleverly designed to the needs of a too-slender neck is the other collar and jabot. It is made of lace and black satin. The band is a straight piece of lace with the scalloped edge folded down like a turnover collar. The jabot is of the same lace cascaded to the front. Two shaped pieces of satin are cut out and lined with fine muslin or mull. They are sewed to the collar and upper part of the jabot and finished with French knots in blue silk. The graceful sailor collar of lace and the net collar with frill of lace at the front are new patterns in these popular neck pieces. The net collar is double with insertion and edging in a fine Cluny pattern of inexpensive lace. This collar is quite new in design and combines the advantages of the fichu and jabot. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. --- Methods Should Be Devised for Using Surplus Crop. Valuable Lessons May Be Learned From Germany, Where Potatoes Are Used for Stock Food, and Kept From Season to Season. Washington.—The necessity from time to time of protecting the American potato industry against the introduction of diseases from foreign countries by quarantine regulations places upon the nation the responsibility of producing its own supply. This means that the country must continually produce more potatoes than it needs for home consumption. The profitable utilization of the surplus so produced is of vital importance to the success of the industry, as is pointed out in department of agriculture bulletin No. 47, just issued. This bulletin calls the attention of American growers to the fact that they may obtain valuable lessons from Germany, whose potato acreage is more than double that of this country, and the crop harvested more than four times our total. The great problem in this country is how a surplus of potatoes might best be disposed of once the production has been increased, and if we look to Germany for our lesson, we find that their surplus potato crop is used as stock food, for making starch, for the manufacture of alcohol, and for drying. In Germany the potato-drying industry is the last development in the utilization of surplus potatoes in factories. This industry should particularly merit the consideration of our people. Dried potatoes have been fed with complete success, as a substitute for corn, not only to cattle but to horses as well. To make potato drying a profitable industry in this country, one of the problems to be met would be the expense of picking up and delivering to the factory of culls and other potatoes not marketable for table purposes. This is because of the present cost of labor. In many cases, however, labor already is necessary and is used to remove these culls from the field to prevent the spread of potato diseases. In Germany the industry has proved such a satisfactory solution for taking care of the entire surplus crop that German farmers now seek to plant a maximum acreage without fear that their various markets will be over-supplied. The feeding of potatoes to swine makes one of the important uses in Germany, and nearly 40 per cent. of the entire production is now used in that way. It is quite probable that eventually the United States will find a similar use for the American surplus crop. It should be mentioned, however, that the potato is merely one component of a carefully planned ration with the German farmers. The potatoes are cooked and mixed with various farm by-products, such as skim milk, barley waste, linseed meal, peanut meal, etc. The quantity of potatoes recommended to be fed daily to each hog does not exceed ten pounds. It is estimated that potatoes have a value of 25 cents per bushel for direct feeding. The difficulty in American potato districts is that the agriculture is not yet sufficiently diversified; the swine are not there to be fed. This will, however, be overcome as time passes and farm practices become better organized; then very large quantities of potatoes could be so utilized. We are producing today an average of 20,000,000 pounds of potato starch annually, and have made large importations from Germany besides. This potato starch is preferred in this country to corn starch for sizing in cotton mills. Economic improvements in the introducing of new factory methods and increasing the quantity of potatoes used should make this industry a more satisfactory one. At present the margin of profit is not large. Even with a protective tariff of one cent per pound. Factories are able to run only six weeks in the year, which makes the interest and other overhead charges high. The manufacture is now confined to the utilization of culls and of potatoes partially infected with the tuber-rot. There is a possibility that a method may be worked out for the drying of culls and surplus potatoes on the farm before used for starch making. The manufacture of alcohol from potatoes has not yet become established in the United States, as the price of potatoes marketable for other purposes has been too high. However, this method might help take care of a surplus crop, if such a surplus were produced in this country. Study Forest Insect Life. members of this society hold that the work of insects has not received the attention which it deserves. Henry S. Graves, U. S. forester, the newly-elected president of the society, on being asked about the purposes of the organization, said that they were, in general, to call attention to the part which insects play in forest problems. "We have had," he said, "widespread and specific interest in insect pests such as the San Jose scale and the boll weevil, which affect all of us as to what we eat and what we wear. Forest insects, through their destruction of timber, increase the cost of a ne- cessity which enters quite as mucen into the daily life of the individual as do the products of the field and orchard. If the importance of the protection of our forest resources from insect depredations is generally recognized, a large part can be prevented or avoided. "Right now in the national forests the bureau of entomology and the forest service are co-operating to stop insect favages by discovering their beginnings and stamping them out. A few isolated trees attacked by insects may form the nucleus of a mountainside devastation quite as serious as that from a forest fire. The opportunity for combatting insects, however, is in one respect better than that in the case of a fire, which runs rapidly, because it takes several years for an insect devastation to spread until it becomes of such proportions as that which overspread the yellow pine forests in the Black Hills in 1906. Watchful care on the part of forest officers, lumbermen and private individuals will make it possible to catch these infestations before they get a good start. By cutting and burning the trees, or stripping off the bark, the insects can be killed. As in all such cases, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." "Who make up the membership of the organization?" was asked of Mr. Graves. "It is open to anyone interested in the subject," Mr. Graves replied. "It seems to me that the relation of forest insects to forest protection touches almost every one. Of course we expect that new members shall be recommended by the present membership, which is made up largely of persons who have studied the forest insect problem at first hand. In order, however, that the objects of the society shall be kept foremost, it is required that at least four of the seven officers must be chosen from among professional forest entomologists." An echo of the disaster that nearly wiped Galveston, Tex., off the map. disaster that nearly Tex., off the map nearly 15 years ago, reached the treasury department the other Pieces of Burnt Money day in a request for the redemption of fragments of a $10 and a $5 bill, representing all that remain of the $1,000 consumed by the flames. The letter accompanying these charred fragments stated that they were found by a small brother of the correspondent the day of the fire. The letter does not say that the money was originally the property of the correspondent or of the correspondent's family, and the question of proprietorship will be involved if the charred fragments are redeemable. The fragments have undoubtedly been kept as souvenirs of the great fire. They are each mounted on plain cards, on which are written the statement that they were found in the fire of April 3, 1899, the same day, and that they are all that remains of $1,000 so lost in the flames. There are no serial numbers for purposes of identifying the bills, nor is there three-fifths of either of them left. Both are just a small portion of corners of the original bills. Fragments of three-fifths size could have been redeemed under the law at half their value. Evidence is required with smaller fragments. Fragments of less than three-fifths can be redeemed at their face value when accompanied by affidavits of the owner or other person having knowledge of the facts that the missing portions have been destroyed. The secretary of the treasury has discretion in such matters to protect the government against fraud. Fragments not redeemed are returned. "Are you McAdoo?" asked a militant appearing woman of Byron Newton in the office of But McAdoo the secretary of Was Too Busy the treasury. "No, but I'm Mr. McAdoo's secretary. What can I do for you?" "Nothing. I want to see Mr. McAdoo." "Mr. McAdoo is busy. Won't you tell me what you wish?" "Yes, I'll tell you—but I want to see McAdoo. I want a job as a guide." "I am sorry, but I am afraid you cannot' see Mr. McAdoo. Besides no woman guides are employed in the treasury." "Well, it's time they were," retorted the woman. "I am a suffragette and we suffragettes are gaining ground every day. We demand recognition. I want to see McAdoo." But she didn't. Mr. Newton said he would call the police. The suffragette, who said she was from Oklahoma, extended the slit in her skirt as she rushed from the place. Rev. C. F. O'Leary, pastor of the Catholic church of Notre Dame at St. Louis, who recently returned from a visit to Ireland, is convinced that the white Esquimaux discovered by Stefansson are in reality descendants of early Irish settlers. "It is my belief," said Father O'Leary, "that St. Brendan and his monks settled in America in the sixth century. Many historians believe this. "Brendan was a great mariner, as well as a great student, and with him missionaries were going out by the scores from Ireland to Germany, Italy, France and other countries. "The Norwegians formerly called America 'the lesser Ireland,' and we have the evidence of Brendan's discoveries in the sea which long was named for him Mare Breudanicum." Father O'Leary, when abroad, visited the famous St. Brendans Mount on which the monastery stood, and studied the old records. PHONE MAIN 6123—Day or Night RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992.
