PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Conflict Be-tween Capital And Labor VOL. XX. Conflict tween An The natural trend of the modern mind seems directed toward organization, the pooling of interests on a larger scale for the promotion of causes which these organizations represent. The right to organize is generally conceded to any individual or set of individuals who may so desire, presuming of course, that the object of organization is in the interest of society. The bane or beneficence of such corporations is mainly determined by the magnanimity or aggrandizing spirit of the individuals who dominate them. Capital, combined to reduce the cost of production and put life's necessities nearer the consumer, is laudable; just as is labor organized for the betterment of conditions under which they toil, the protection of their rights and promotion of their common interests. Yet society can no more escape the baneful effects of wealth organized with monopolistic intent, selfish and aggrandizing in its operations and burdening the consumer with extortionate prices; than it can the inconvenience, burdens and offtimes actual suffering resulting from conflict between capital and labor which is too frequently caused by sensational union leaders who are consumed with a desire for press notoriety and public notice. When capital and labor disagree the public is invariably the sufferer. This makes a higher quality of leadership in organizations to be desired. But the industrial conditions which afflict society and continually growing worse seem impossible of amelioration so long as the press, the source of public information, are on the one hand subsidized by corporations which they must serve, and on the other hand they will not brave the political worth of labor by publishing true and accurate accounts of pernicious union activities. This leaves a patient and long suffering public victims of conditions difficult of remedy. To hasten the millenium by legislation has long since been discarded as the theory of dreamers, under the circumstances remedial legislation under our form of government strikes one as a remote possibly any way. Abraham Lincoln said "The Republican form of government is the best government in the world, but it takes the best people in the world to live under it." The presumption here is that men who represents their several communities would be moved to the performance of their duties by a sense of honor and integrity. But how are we to be saved from the predictament in which we find ourselves when, electing a rich representative to the state or national legislature, we find him legislating in the interest of the rich, or, electing a poor representative in this sad age of money madness, we find him either legislating in the interest of labor unions or supporting measures initiated by the agents of corporations thereby protecting his future against financial distress. The whole situation presents the spectacle of a titanic struggle for class supremacy in government with the public only occasionally if ever considered. In the meantime the press, through lavish application of "sauve" about how vigilantly they are guarding the rights of the "Deer Peepul." so ingratiate themselves in the people's confidence that they can and often do without general suspicion alternately support corporations when satisfactorily "seen" and labor unions when political expedience demands. However, if this triangular situation must eventuate in class supremacy, I think the whole Negro race will welcome a triumph of the class that offers Negroes an opportunity to live by their labor, and have something to renumerate them for service rendered. By their discriminatory practices labor unions have amply satisfied thinking Negroes that that the later need expect nothing from the former's success; that their cause is particularly their own, and finally that what is food for the laboring element of whites is poison for Negroes. Forming a constituent of the public above referred to, Negroes should contribute their ardent support in solving the problems and remedying the evils that afflict it. In instances of factory, mine and other strikes where a teu per cent increase is granted, the Negro in connection with other luckless members of society who are not immediately connected with the unions or the operating syndicate, DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Bcoc State House GIANTS WHO RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO also pays his additional raise of from twenty to forty per cent for the commodities produced under these circumstances. The press knows many effective remedies for these evils, but the public will of necessity have to become proficient in mind-reading before they will be able to ascertain them. To divulge them off-hand would spoil the game. They might inadvertently embarrass the corporations and then they couldn't deposit the subsidies, suppose they should offend the unions, they have lost their best bet. In heated political campaigns where they exert every effort to sway elections that they may possess greater influence with which to "humbug" the people, they could not "point with pride" to their record on the labor question as a vote getter. This lucrative silence at public expense should not be tolerated. It seems that these conditions demand remedial action and the public who are the real sufferers should bend their energies in a common effort to curb the iniquities of the capitalistic system and check in their wild career those responsible for the pernicious activities of labor, thereby making more desirable the condition under which we live. W.M. G. MAY. WHITE WOMAN WITH DE FECTIVE EYES SUES COLORED MAN Baltimore, April 11.—Two suits by titling, each asking $15,000 damages against James L. Hitchens, colored, a wealthy storage warehouseman, were filed in the Court of Common Pleas today by Miss Anna B Clark, a white trained nurse. At the office of her attorney it was said that she claims that Hitchens deceived her by proposing marriage to her while she was under the impression that he was a white man, and one of the suits is based upon the ground that in thus deceiving her Hitchens was guilty of a constructive breach of promise. The ground for the other suit is based by Miss Clark upon the charge that Hitchens committed an assault upon her after he had been accepted, but while they were unmarried. Miss Clark claims that she went to the home of Hitchens as a trained nurse to attend him for heart trouble. Hitchens is a widower, and she declares she believed he was a white man at that time. After a while it is claimed by Miss Clark that Hitchens proposed to her and was accepted. Some time later she was informed by a third person that Hitchens had Negro blood in his veins. Finding this to be true she brought suit. SCHOOL CENSUS TAKER RAPES 16 YEAR-OLD GIRL Louisville, Ky, April 14. Threatening to kill her if she made an outcry, a white man named Sullivan, census taker for the public schools criminally assaulted Mary Woolridge, a 16-year-old Negro girl, at her home, 3439 Bank street, Wednesday morning, April 8. She was alone at the time, except for her two-year-old baby brother, her mother being absent at the home of a sick neighbor. Sullivan went to the house about 11:30 o'clock Wednesday, and after questioning the girl as to the other children gained access to the house to write the answers. When through with his writing, instead of leaving the house Sullivan caught the child by the arm and made an improper remark. She fought and struggled against her fiend until exhausted. Threatening to kill her if she screamed, he accomplished his brutish purpose and left with the warning that if she told what had happened he would come back and kill her. As soon as she was able Mary went to the home where her mother was and told of the outrage. Her father was sent for and he called in the police. The childs' description of the man enabled the detectives to apprehend Sullivan, who was arrested that same night and committed to jail. The little girl is confined to her bed, nervously prostrated as a result of, her horrible experience. Dr. W. H. Witherspoon, who was called in to attend her, found corroborative evidence of her statement. Sullivan is prominently connected, one of his brothers being a doctor, one a lawyer and one a policeman. The white papers have not carried even one line of the story. MAY FORCE JUDGE TERRELL'S CONFIRMATION Washington, D. C. April 15. Aroused at the sectional opposition which is being worked up against the confirmation of Judge Robert M. Terrell to be a municipal judge, a large number of Senators have agreed to prevent any conformation until Judge Terrell's nomination shall have been approved. Judge Terrell is opposed most strongly by Senator Vardaman, whose fanatic opposition to the Negro race was well known in Washington before Vardaman reached the senate. Judge Terrell who already has served on the municipal bench, received the first unanimous indorsement the local bar has ever granted a candidate, according to his friends, and Senators who are not swayed by a fanatic antipathy for Judge Terrell's race resent the character of opposition which Senator Vardaman is invoking.

Indianapolis, Ind., April 17. Railroad trainmen won a victory in the courts here in the test case brought by the State Railroad Commissioners against the railroad company for violation of the state governing a full crew upon passenger trains. The point in contention was to the effect that the porters were not capable; the complaint proved, however, that he was fully qualified and stood the best examination and performed his duties well and should not be discriminated against. Any discrimination should be unlawful and unconstitutional. The judge upheld the railway commissioners and decided that there should be no favoritism of races. R. Williams and R J.

FACTIONS TO FIGHT U.S. GEN. CARRANZA PROTESTS TO PRESIDENT WILSON AGAINST AMERICANS OCCUPYING VERA CRUZ. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, April 23—Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge at Mexico City, has been handed his passports by General Huerta and is preparing to leave Mexico City. Huerta's handing of passports to Charge O'Shaughnessy was regarded as a most sensational development in the situation and it was believed to forecast a declaration of war on the part of Huerta.

Charge O'Shaughnessy telegraphed the State Department under date of Wednesday night as follows: "Having been given my passports, I am leaving tomorrow night or Friday morning." BULLETINS. Washington.—It was reported here that the army and navy board had recommended the restoration on the embargo on arms at the Mexican border and that the matter had been taken up with Secretary Bryan, who now has it under consideration. Campico.—Grave tears are felt here for the safety of hundreds of Ameri- women and children, in the oil camps at Topila and other river points and interior camps. Although the message from the charge was not given out until 3.20 a. m., it was generally believed it had been in possession of officials for at least three hours and that this was SENOR DON ANGEL ALGARA HARRIS Z. TWIG one of the subjects discussed when the President and Secretary Bryan were awakened and talked over the telephone about the Carranza note. Charge Algara already had received an intimation from his government that he was to use his own judgment about quitting Washington, and it is probable that when he learns of the prospective departure of O'Shaughnessy he also will leave. The message from O'Shaughnessy closely followed the receipt of a letter from General Carranza, Mexican rebel chief, addressed to President Wilson. It contained a direct demand for recognition and a threat to unite the entire Mexican people in war against the United States unless Vera Cruz were evacuated at once. President Wilson Called From Sleep. At 1:30 o'clock this morning President Wilson was awakened by Secretary Tumulty and the contents of the Carranza note conveyed to him. Forty minutes later the President and Secretary Bryan were in conference by telephone. Secretary of War Garrison, Secretary Tumulty, General Wotherspoon, who became chief of staff of the army yesterday, and Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge were in conference at the same time in Garrison's office. About 2:30 o'clock, when the conference between Secretary Garrison and the others concluded, Secretary Garrison and Secretary Tumulty entered a waiting automobile and drove away. As General Wotherspoon and Breckenridge left, the general stopped in the telegraph room. To Strengthen Forces on Border. General Wotherspoon declined to discuss the subject of the embargo on arms. He said no orders for the movement of troops had been issued, but that the border forces might be strengthened at certain points, particularly along the Imperial valley. In this valley is located a great government irrigation project. It was reported about the state, war and navy building that word had come of several large shipments of arms nearing the border for the Constitutionalists, and that the army officers desired the embargo restored before morning. It probably will be done. This new emergency shattered what had settled down to a comparatively Secretary Daniels said that no orders had been given to siege Tampico and that Rear Admiral Badger's instructions were not sufficiently broad to take the customs house there unless an emergency arose. Further steps in reprisal have not been decided upon. Topeka, Kan.—A crowd of high school boys and girls in a patriotic demonstration caught five American railway laborers on the street and made each one salute the American flag. calm situation in administration circles. With a receipt of a message from Admiral Fletcher, stating that Vera Cruz had been taken completely after a brief engagement Tuesday morning, the President and his advisers settled down to a determination to "sit tight" for a while. Eight more Americans were killed and many wounded at Vera Cruz, bringing the total American casualties to twelve dead and fifty wounded. It was estimated the Mexican losses would be nearly 300 dead. Rebels Menace to States on Line. General Carranza's note to President Wilson declared the seizure of Vera Cruz by American forces a violation of the national sovereignty of Mexico; ordered the United States to suspend hostile operations and withdraw its forces, and declared the Constitutionalist government should receive demands for reparation of offenses committed by Huerta. This opposition to the American government's action, coming from an unexpected quarter, after the Washington administration had hoped an attitude of neutrality and passive observation from the constitutionalists, brought the government face to face with hostility from the great body of Mexican forces lying in proximity to the southern tier of the United States. Secretary Bryan received the Carranza note at his home just before midnight. Secretary Garrison and Assistant Secretary Breckenridge, who were waiting at the War Department, were given copies of the message. Secretary Tumulty, who was asleep, hurried to the War Department, and Major General Wotherspoon, chief of GENERAL HUERTA staff of the army, was summoned to join the conference. Later the President was awakened. Precautions to Prevent Uprisings. Precautions to prevent uprisings on the border as a result of Carranza's opposition to the American government were also believed to be under consideration. The joint army and navy board which met early in the day, it is understood, will recommend the restoration of the embargo on arms into Mexico. Plans thus far made by the Army and Navy Board to secure reprisals from Huerta had contemplated no move along the American border, as St. Louis, Mo.—A few minutes after the dispatches told that four Americans had been killed during the taking of Vera Cruz Tuesday, fifty Spanish-American war veterans met here and organized the nucleus of what is to be known as the volunteer regiment of St. Louis. San Francisco, Cal.—Richter Camp No. 2, Spanish war veterans, wired an offer to President Wilson of a full company of trained men for service in Mexico in the event of war. Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge d'affaires at Mexico City, has been handed his passports by Provisional President Huerta. O'Shaughnessy is acting of war. O'Shaughnessy is preparing to leave the Mexican capital. General Carranza, supreme chief of the rebels in Mexico, addresses a letter to President Wilson protesting the Cruz demanding recognition of his government, and threatening to unite the Mexican people in war against the United States, between reinforced American marines and Mexican sharpshooters results in killing of eight more Americans and seriously wounding thirty. Mexican forces are placed at nearly three hundred dead and many wounded. Vera Cruz now in complete possession of the United States forces, which must operate and conditions rapidly resuming their normal aspect. Plans are being made to strengthen the troops along the Mexican border, prevent uprisings against Americans. President Wilson, Secretary Bryan, army chief and other officials, announce he can carry hour Thursday morning, considering troop plans, restoration of arms embargo and other matters connected with new crisis. States planning to protect their lines from Mexicans. Arizona militia on duty and Governor Johnson of California orders nine companies of state troops to the Imperial War East irrigation projects are menaced. A private dispatch received at New York early Thursday morning from Mexico City said that mobs were coming in the capital for an anti-America demonstration. it was not desired to make any demonstration that might be regarded by the Constitutionalists as directed toward them. The Carranza letter, however, confirmed the fears of many officials that the rebels might side with Huerta. This was the one possibility which had been discussed in administration circles as the most serious phase of the situation. Action by Congress approving the President's course in using the army and navy in view of the situation he had presented in his message, and the receipt of details of fighting at Vera Cruz were the chief developments of the day. Officials expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the promptness of Rear Admiral Fletcher's forces in taking possession of Vera Cruz and restoring order there. Future steps are uncertain. The President has determined that his course shall be gradual. No orders have been issued to seize the customs house at Tampico. It is the purpose of the administration to keep order in Vera Cruz and await the full effect on Huerta of the first act of reprisal by the American government. There is every reason to believe that the railroad running inland from Vera Cruz for twenty miles, together with a valuable trestle, will be policed by American marines and blue jackets. This section of the railroad is of supreme importance should future developments require a movement on Mexico City. Volunteers for service in Mexico will not be called for unless there is a formal declaration of war by Congress. This was announced in the House by Chairman Hay of the House military affairs committee. Movements of the navy were continued. The Navy Department feels that a sufficient force of marines is on the way not only to take care of the situation at Vera Cruz, but of Tampico, too, if the order is given for the seizure of the customs house there. At 3:15 a. m. the Navy Department issued the following: "Official list of casualties of Americans at Vera Cruz yesterday, which is in addition to the four dead and twenty injured recorded Tuesday: Dead. R. Percy, private marine corps. L. O. Fried, ordinary seaman. W. I. Watson, ordinary seaman. F. P. Delowry, seaman. C. G. Defabir, gunner's mate, third class. Frank Devorick, ordinary seaman. Another statement issued by the Navy Department said: "A dispatch from Rear Admiral Badger received at 3:40 a. m., reports that the flag of truce was repeatedly violated by the Mexican Federalers. It adds that there has been little firing since 11 a. m., Wednesday, and that the city is under control." PRESIDENT ASKS $500,000. Wilson Sends Message to Congress Requesting Help for Refugees. Washington.—In a special message to both houses of Congress the President asked an appropriation of $500,000 for bringing of Americans out of Mexico. The message was as follows: "In view of the exigency created by the existing situation in the Republic of Mexico I recommend the immediate passage by Congress of an act appropriating $500,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary, to be placed at the disposal of the President for the purpose of providing means to bring o their homes in the United States \ American citizens now in Mexico." Without a dissenting vote the House passed a bill by Representative Fitzgerald, providing for the appropriation of $500,000 for the relief of American citizens in Mexico, including their transportation to their homes.

FRIENDLY TO MEXICO Will Use Army and Navy to Such an Extent as to Force Huerta's Full Recognition of the Dignity of This Nation. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, April 21.—President Wilson laid the Mexican situation before Congress Monday in these words: "Gentlemen of the Congress: "It is my duty to call your attention to a situation which has arisen in our dealings with Gen. Victoriano Huerta at Mexico City, which calls for action, and to ask your advice and co-operation in acting on it. "On the 9th of April a paymaster of the U. S. S. Dolphin landed at the Iturbide bridge landing at Tampico, with a whaleboat and boat's crew to take off certain supplies needed by his ship, and while engaged in loading the boat, was arrested by an officer and squad of men of the army of General Huerta. Neither the paymaster nor any one of the boat's crew was armed. Two of the men were in the boat when the arrest took place, and were obliged to leave it and submit to being taken into custody, notwithstanding the fact that the boat carried, both at her bow and M. WOODROW WILSON. at her stern, the flag of the United States. The officer who made the arrest was proceeding upon one of the streets of the town with his prisoners when met by an officer of higher authority, who ordered him to return to the landing and agait orders, and within an hour and a half from the time of the arrest, orders were received from Huertista forces at Tampico for the release of the paymaster and his men. "The release was followed by apologies from the commander and later by an expression of regret by General Huerta himself. General Huerta urged that martial law obtained at the time at Tampico, that orders had been issued that no one should be allowed to land at the Iturbide bridge, and that our sailors had no right to land there. Our naval commanders at the port had not been notified of any such prohibition, and, even if they had been, the only justifiable course open to the local authorities would have been to request the paymaster and his crew to withdraw and to lodge a protest with the commanding officer of the fleet. Admiral Mayo regarded the arrest as so serious an affront that he was not satisfied with the apologies offered, but demanded that the flag of the United States be saluted with special ceremony by the military commander of the port. "The incident cannot be regarded as a trivial one, especially as two of the men arrested were taken from the boat itself—that is to say, from the territory of the United States; but had it stood by itself, it might have been attributed to the ignorance or arrogance of a single officer. "Unfortunately it was not an isolated case. A series of incidents has recently occurred which cannot but create the impression that the represen- California Wires for Border Guards. Los Angeles, Calif., April 20.—Receiver W. H. Holabird of the California Development Company telegraphed a demand for the immediate placing of troops at Calexico to Major General Arthur Murfray, Adjutant General E. A. Forbes of the California National guard and to Governor Hiram W. Johnson last night. He said troops were necessary for protection of the company's water system, supplying 20,000 people in the Imperial valley. tatives of General Huerta were willing to go out of their way to show disregard for the dignity and rights of this government, and felt perfectly safe in doing what they pleased, making free to show in many ways their irritation and contempt. "A few days after the incident at Tampico an orderly from the United States Steamship Minnesota was arrested at Vera Cruz, while ashore in uniform to obtain the ship's mall, and was for a time thrown in jail. "An official dispatch from this government to its embassy at Mexico City was withheld by the authorities of the telegraphic service until peremptorily demanded by our charge d'affaires in person. "So far as I can learn, such wrongs and annoyances have been suffered to occur only against representatives of the United States. I have heard of no complaints from other governments of similar treatment. Subsequent explanations and formal apologies did not and could not alter the popular impression which it is possible it had been the object of the Huerista authorities to create, that the government of the United States was being singled out, and might be singled out with impunity, for slights and afronts in retaliation for its refusal to recognize the pretensions of General Huerta to be regarded as the constitutional provisional president of the republic of Mexico. "The manifest danger of such a situation was that such offenses might grow from bad to worse until something happened of so gross and intolerable a sort as to lead directly and inevitably to armed conflict. It was necessary that the apologies of General Huerta and his representatives should go much farther, that they should be such as to attract the attention of the whole population to their significance, and to impress upon General Huerta himself the necessity of seeing to it that no further occasion for explanations and professed regrets should arise. I, therefore, felt it my duty to sustain Admiral Mayo in the whole of his demand and to insist that the flag of the United States, should be saluted in such a way as to indicate a new spirit and attitude on the part of the Hueristas. "Such a salute General Huerta has refused, and I have come to ask your approval and support in the course I now propose to pursue. "This government can, I earnestly hope, in no circumstances be forced into war with the people of Mexico. Mexico is torn by civil strife. If we are to accept the tests of its own constitution, it has no government. General Huerta has set his power up in the City of Mexico, such as it is, without right, and by methods for which there can be no justification. Only part of the country is under his control. If armed conflict should unhappily come as a result of his attitude of personal resentment towards this government, we should be fighting General Huerta and those who adhere to him and give their support, and our object would be only to restore to the people of the distracted republic the opportunity to set up again their own laws and their own government. "But I earnestly hope that war is not now in question. I believe I speak for the American people when I say that we do not desire to control in any degree the affairs of our sister republic. Our feeling for the people of Mexico is one of deep and genuine friendship and everything that we have so far done or refrained from doing has proceeded from our desire to help them, not to hinder or embarrass them. We would not wish even to exercise the good offices of friendship without their welcome and consent. The people of Mexico are entitled to settle their own domestic affairs in their own way and we sincerely desire to respect their rights. The present situation need have none of the grave implications of interference if we deal with it promptly, firmly and wisely. "No doubt I could do what is necessary in the circumstances to enforce respect for our government without recourse to the Congress and yet not exceed my constitutional powers as president; but I do not wish to act in a matter of so grave consequence except in close conference and co-operation with both the Senate and House. I, therefore, come to ask your approval that I should use the armed forces of the United States in such ways and to such an extent as may be necessary to obtain from General Huerta and his adherents the fullest recognition of the rights and dignity of the United States, even amidst the distressing conditions now unhappily obtaining in Mexico. "There can in what we do be no thought of aggression or of selfish aggrandizement. I seek to maintain the dignity and authority of the United States only because we wish always to keep our great influence unimpaired for the uses of liberty, both in the United States and wherever else it may be employed for the benefit of mankind." The President finished reading his address at 3:12 p. m., and left the chamber amid a roar of applause and cheers. UNIFORMTIY IN LAWS Will Be Discussed by Governors at Wisconsin Meeting.

Fire at Pooria, Ill., swept over three blocks, destroying the cattle feeding barns and a block of baled hay belonging to the Nelson Morris Packing Company. Six thousand cattle were housed in the sheds, and it is estimated that 3,000 burned. The others were turned loose in the stockyards district. The loss is estimated at $400,000. Rear Admiral Mayo, who is in command of the Atlantic fleet in Mexican waters, is a nephew of Mrs. C. A. Eldredge of Colorado Springs, and spent part of the summer there three years ago. He had planned to spend a vacation there again this summer. Victor Mosher, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Mosher, who joined the marine service last fall, is on the battleship South Dakota. He is stationed at Puget Sound. WASHINGTON. None of the important pending rate cases was decided by the Supreme Court. The army is in readiness to move across the Rio Grande into the Mexican territory. Troops have been mobilized on the Mexican border, for just such an emergency. The right of the state to regulate insurance rates was settled once for all by the Supreme Court upholding as constitutional the Kansas Fire Insurance law of 1909. Mrs. Donald Taylor Hunter of Washington, whose husband, Lieutenant Hunter, started for Mexico on the flagship Arkansas nine hours after their marriage, refused to become alarmed at the prospect of war. The appointment of Dr. Samuel E. Lewis of Washington as commissioner to supervise the marking of the graves of Confederate soldiers and sailors in national cemeteries and at federal military stations, as provided in a recent act of Congress, was announced. Dr. Lewis was a surgeon in the confederate army during the civil war. Responsibility for the sinking of the steamer Monroe by the Nantucket, off the Virginia capes Jan. 30, with a loss of forty-one lives, was placed on Captain Berry of the Nantucket in a ruling made by Captain Henry M. Seely, supervising steamboat inspector of the New York district. The decision was approved by Secretary of Commerce Redfield. Huerta has practically declared war against the United States. He has taken the first usual move preliminary to a formal declaration by requesting this government to withdraw Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American charge d'affaires at Mexico City, Senator Algara, Mexican charge d'affaires at Washington, has been instructed to ask Secretary Bryan for his passports. The Navy Department chartered the Ward liner Mexico, now in Mexican gulf waters, for a refuge ship at Tampico. The War Department took option on several ships to be used as transports. The Senate, by a vote of 72 to 13, passed the administration resolution declaring that "the President is justified in the employment of armed forces of the United States to enforce his demands for unequivocal amends for the affronts and indignities committed against the United States" in Mexico. FOREIGN. Two trains loaded with American refugees left Mexico City Monday for Vera Cruz. Vera Cruz Tuesday night was in the hands of forces from the United States war ships. An official report received at Juarez states that the smelter and the brewery at Monterey have been occupied by the rebels. The threatened general railway strike, for which the Italian government had taken extensive measures of precaution, has been abandoned. The Americans killed in Tuesday's fighting were Coxswain Schumacher, Corporal Haggerty and Seaman Polinsett, all of the battleship Florida, and Private S. Martin. The French foreign office, although no official announcement has been made of its attitude toward the Mexican situation, is understood to regard the action of the United States with a feeling of relief. Samuel Rutherford Crockett, the novelist, died in London. He was born in 1860. Crockett entered the Free church of Scotland in 1886. "The Stickit Minister" was among the best known of his works. Francisco de la Barra, Mexican minister to France, in an authorized statement at Paris, said: "Events demonstrate how strong patriotic feelings are among Mexicans. The love of their country will cause all discord to disappear." In compliance with Consul Canada's suggestion, made on instructions from Washington many women in Vera Cruz took up their quarters on the steamers Mexico and Esperanza. The Americans residing in Vera Cruz number not more than thirty or forty, but Tuesday there were about 200 Americans in Vera Cruz. The largest foreign colony is Spanish. SPORT.

Buck Crouse of Pittsburg knocked out Glen Coakley of Fort Wayne in the third round at Fort Wayne, Ind. Coakley was outclassed from the start. Manager Hendricks of the Indianapolis associatibn team announced that the terms by which Herman Bronkie, Chicago Club utility infielder, will come to Indianapolis have been closed. Brankie will play third base. The left field fence and the roof of the recently rebuilt grandstand of Exposition park, the home of the local Federal league team at Pittsburg, was damaged by a wind which blew over the city at the rate of sixty-one miles an hour. Monmouth, Ill., has a wonder in a pocket billiardist named Ralph Greenleaf, who, although fourteen years of age, has been a sensation for his remarkable playing throughout the military tract as well as throughout the states of Illinois and Iowa. When only twelve years of age he won twenty-two games out of twenty-four in a tournament in Monmouth. Recently he has played and won many games with old-time champions in tourneys there. GENERAL. At the United States Steel Corporation meeting in New York J. S. Phipps was elected to succeed his father, Henry C. Phipps, on the board of directors. Other directors were re-elected. In a statement at Springfield, after a conference with Adjutant General Shand, Governor Dunne declared Illinois within thirty days could have 50,000 men mobilized in Springfield for service in Mexico and that in another thirty days could have 100,000 men ready. "Don't come in: I'm all undressed, ready to take a bath," Mrs. Mary E. Franke shouted through a speaking tube to two Chicago policemen. They didn't believe her and broke in the door. She was. They waited until after the bath and arrested her on the charge of passing bogus checks. The Confederate veterans camp of Huntsville, Ala., telegraphed President Wilson this message: "We deplore war, but if it must come, Egbert J. Jones camp of the Confederate Veterans, Huntsville, Ala., 100 strong, and of average age of seventy-three, still game and fit for the fight of our lives, offer our services to our country." The 130,000 national guardsmen of the country can be ordered to Mexico on the same footing as regular United States troops, if a decision by Judge William L. Day of the United States District Court at Cleveland, Ohio, is sustained by the United States Supreme Court. Judge Day is a son of Judge William R. Day of the United States Supreme bench. Mrs. Pearl Jellirson was held at Indianapolis, Ind., charged with the murder of her husband, Harry Jellirson. She asserted he attacked her and that he stumbled and fell against a knife she held. E. A. Forbes, adjutant general of the California State National Guard, announced that he had sent a telegram to Washington offering a company of California aviators for service in the United States army. Seven aviators and sixty-five mechanicians have signed the national guard's muster roll. OPEN FOR New Dining Room in Connection to Keystone Social Club. Nothing like it ever attempted in Denver.

When we look out upon the heavens and view the various bodies thereof; when we think of the planetary system and its wonder-working action, we must conclude with definiteness that there is a great and wonderful harmonious action—an acting in concert, a unitary method in Nature and the carrying out of her plans, that cause the millions of those bodies (large and small) to keep in equilibrium and work so agreeably with one another, thereby hindering terrible and great disastrous occurrences which would be inevitable were they to act in opposition. Scientists tell us that whenever there is the slightest discord among these planets, etc., that seismic conditions and other like results take place; and as some of the planets wield their influence on the earth there is produced the difference in our tides of the ocean and sea. Our eclipses, tidal waves, earthquakes and similar things have their origin in some little disruption of those heavenly agents that give us light, heat, etc., and therefore the more harmoniously they work the better are the results obtainable. Here, then, is a very good lesson for us, "the benefits and advantages of united efforts." How often have we not experienced that for lack of this great and all-desirable quality of UNITY among us as a people and a race, we to a certain extent suffer from the most trying and unfavorable circumstances and conditions; how unfortunate in filling the role of non-success in our business transactions; how we glory in the triumph of certain things which like the beautiful appearance of the soap bubble with its rainbow garb, burst with a little pressure on account of not possessing any solidity, and in a word we can safely say, because there is no adherence to the old and far-famed motto, "In Unity There Is Strength." We have not to go beyond our city as we can find the proofs for the bearing out of our contention in our various business engagements and connections, as visitors have on many occasions after a few weeks of temporary residence informed us of the serious lacking of our people in the particular of united efforts. The Negro population of Denver is estimated at about eight thousand and it is alarming to note the numerous branches of the same sphere of business in such a small number, and it's very amazing how many of them exist at all! First, but a little while ago there were three weekly newspapers, which, in their struggles and seemingly good faith to make our people acquire literary tastes and habits, had to contend with the competition of the dailies of the other side, and eventually one had to give way, leaving two to battle the situation, which apparently is no easy road to travel. Again, our churches, almost adjacent to one another as far as location is concerned, lack that unanimity of spirit on account of denominational narrowness, and although there is a ministers' union, yet as far as the accomplishment of anything for the general welfare of the people goes, we have not yet been able to indorse any generic action of the leaders for any progress in the commercial or industrial life of us which would tend to make us improve and acquire lucrative positions. Our managers of business which caters to the social side, also the proprietors of restaurants, cafés and other like places, all seem to strive to oppose one another for mere individual gain than for a collective prosperity which would be advantageous to all. These and many other phases prove conclusively that we have not gotten hold as yet of the business qualities of our white brethren, and unless we imitate him by uniting our efforts, harmonizing our ideas, concentrating our forces, co-operating in business transactions, whereby we will have a grand consolidation, we may never hope to form one of the links in that progressive chain which is strong and mighty. Endeavor therefore to change and interchange our views, whether from press, pulpit or individual conversation, and strive to obtain such qualifications as to put us on an equal plane in business with the other side; and as all nature seem to work in unison for the benefit and betterment of humanity, so can we learn such lessons from her as to result in unbounded and unlimited success. Not lack of concentration, nor over-concentration, but concentration. Work unceasingly for the bringing about of united action among our people.

ROAD MONEY ALLOTTED COUNTIES GIVEN $149,100 FOR WORK ON HIGHWAYS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—State Highway Commissioner T. J. Ehrhart announced that the state will pay one-half the cost of split-log drags to all counties which will furnish these drags free to farmers and others pledging themselves to use the same on their roads. The various counties of the state have been given a total of $149,100 for use on the state roads. This is exclusive of $30,500 appropriated for Elwood Pass. The apportionment was completed at a meeting of the State Highway Commission, which was attended by the county commissioners of the various counties interested. District No. 1, including Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Clear Creek, Jefferson, Gilpin, Logan, Morgan, Phillips, Washington, Weld, Sedgwick and Yuma counties, got the largest amount, a total of $30,000.

Governor Ammons issued a proclamation to that effect. The governor expressed the hope in his declaration that every citizen will devote the day to work on Colorado's 30,000 miles of highways. With that end in view he suggests that the boards of county commissioners arrange plans for the improvement of the roads under their charge and that the cities and towns better their streets which form links in the thoroughfares. The governor devoted a paragraph in his proclamation to lauding the road drag which was demonstrated here recently by D. Ward King of Missouri, inventor. The governor particularly urged the posting of directing signs along the roads and the marking of springs and watering places along the way of travel. Special appeal was made to good roads organizations and public schools to boost the good roads agitation and make Good Roads Day a memorable one in each year's work of state building. Fitzgarrald Is Acting Governor. Denver.—One important appointment may be made by Lieutenant Governor S. R. Fitzgarrald while he is acting governor of Colorado in the absence of Governor Ammons, who went to Washington. He may name a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Colorado to fill the vacancy caused by the recent death of W. H. Bryant, Denver attorney. Governor Ammons told Lieutenant Governor Fitzgarrald to make the appointment if he should find a suitable person. Farrar's Opinion on Wage Secretary. Denver. — Attorney General Fred Farrar gave as his opinion in the question of the selection of a secretary of the minimum wage commission that the secretaryship does not come under civil service if one of the commission is chosen for the position, but that otherwise it comes under the classified civil service. Denver Citizens Will Honor Flag. Denver.—The greatest outdoor patriotic celebration in the city's history will be staged on the grounds of the state capitol by the Denver patriotic societies, the public and the national guard, as a pledge of loyalty by the citizens of Denver to the nation and a tribute to the flag. $305.402 Paid as Inheritance Tax.

Denver, Colo. Returns From Rented Farms Only Nominal. Agricultural Department Refutes Belief Ruralite Residing in City and Leasing Land Is Plutocrat—Corn Belt Data Is Given. Washington.—Popular belief that the farm owner who lives in the city and rents his farm is in the class with prodigal plutocrats was given a severe jolt in a bulletin just issued by the department of agriculture, which shows that the average return from rented farms is but $3 \frac{1}{2}$ per cent on the investment. The size of the farm seems to have no effect on the percentage. The bureau of farm management which developed these facts studied several hundred farms in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa. States in the corn belt were chosen because they excel almost all other regions in wealth of farm products. In this section modern machinery, with more horses and fewer men, has made the farm less than 100 acres an "inefficient unit." Further readjustments are constantly taking place to lessen the number of persons needed and to increase the net productions of the farm. The average labor income of the farm owners operating their own farms was $408 for the year studied and $780 for the tenants. These figures are obtained by deducting 5 per cent of the capital investment from the income. As the tenant has a smaller capital investment his labor income is proportionately larger. Strangely enough, the farmers making the lowest labor incomes are on big farms, but they fall through inefficient management. Poor crops, low prices for products sold, poor stock, failure to work and unused capital are given as the main causes contributing to their failure. The income of the farmer who owns his farm is in direct proportion to his capital and the size of his farm. Men owning small farms often materially increase their incomes by renting additional land. The tenant's income is in direct proportion to the risk he assumes. On the cash rent basis, his income is greater in a good year and less in a poor year than when he rents on the share basis. Approximately one-third of the total farm expense is for labor, and for this reason the "family-size" farm is the most desirable; that is, one which provides just a fair amount of work for the farmer and his sons and permits the best use of men, horses and machinery. Of the "crop farm," where 50 per cent of the total farm receipts are derived from the sale of grain, and the live stock farm, where the farmer feeds most of his crops, the latter proved a much better investment, though the fact that they were usually larger than the "crop farm" contributed something to this result. But the average labor income of the crop farmer who owned his own farm was but $28 per farm, whereas the average live stock farmer under similar conditions had a labor income of $750. POTATO CROP OF THE WORLD. Out of a total of 5,945,846,000 bushels, the world's crop for 1912, Germany produced 1,844,863,000 bushels, or 31 per cent, says the department of agriculture. It is remarkable that the immense Russian empire, with 8,291,429 square miles, produced only about three-fourths the quantity of potatoes that Germany produced on her 208,780 square miles, while the United States, with 3,026,789 square miles, produced not quite one-fourth the German crop, although the area under potatoes in the United States was nearly half the potato area of Germany, and the Russian potato area exceeded that of Germany by nearly 3,000,000 acres. The explanation is to be found in the fact that only 28 per cent of the German potato crop is used for human consumption, while the rest is used in the arts and for stock food. For the last-named purpose nearly 42 per cent is used, showing that Germany, with a very limited area of pasture land, has to depend largely on garnered produce to feed her live stock. The steady increase of the German potato crop, with a practically stationary acreage, shows the possibilities of intensive cultivation. By comparing the production of 1911 with that of 1912, for the principal countries, it is seen that the former was a lean year, the latter a fat year, representing an advance not only over 1911, but in most cases over earlier years, the German production of 1912 being the highest on record. The United Kingdom is an exception, its production in 1912 having been the lowest since 1908. AMERICAN COTTON GOODS. British East Africa in the fiscal year 1913 bought $1,308,777 worth of unbleached cotton goods, and $674,891 worth of these came from the United States, despite the distance between the two countries and the lack of direct means of transportation. In the trade in other lines of cotton goods American manufacturers have little or no share. American gray goods were introduced many years ago by an American firm that has long been engraved in East African trade. They are everywhere called American (although the term is generally applied to gray goods of all kinds from whatever country they come), and they are so well and favorably known in the market that the native prefers them to all others. In this respect conditions are very similar to those in the Red Sea markets. The native always prefers American gray sheeting and is willing to pay slightly more to get it, but when the margin between the price of European and American goods becomes very wide there is a demand for the former. Italy in particular has been making a strong effort to get a larger share of the trade, and has been partly successful. The foregoing facts are from a bulletin on the cotton goods trade of British East Africa, Uganda, Zanzibar and German East Africa issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce. The bulletin was written by Commercial Agent Ralph M. Odell, and is the first of a series of three giving the results of his investigation in East and South Africa. Zanzibar is mainly a transshipping point, but its trade will continue important until the smaller coast towns on the mainland are linked by railroad. COMMERCIAL ORGANIZATIONS. That the range of the functions of a chamber of commerce or board of trade is materially broadening is indicated by a bulletin just issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, department of commerce, in which some of the activities of commercial organizations in 25 southern and western cities are described. Nearly every commercial organization has some line of work in which it has proved especially successful, or which it has taken up because of conditions peculiar to its field. It is these lines that the bulletin describes in more or less detail. It describes, for example, how the chamber of commerce in Atlanta, Ga., launched and carried to a successful conclusion a campaign for a $3,000,000 bond issue to provide municipal improvements; it describes the freight-record service in Houston, the permanent exhibit system in Los Angeles, the inspection bureau work in San Francisco, the co-operation between commercial organizations and the state of Oregon, the charity endorsement and taxation bureau in Seattle, the garden contest system in Spokane, the park improvement campaign in Denver, the study of the good roads problem in territory tributary to Minneapolis, etc. No attempt is made to describe the entire work of any one association or to present minor details. The bulletin alms to indicate what commercial organizations in certain cities have done and are doing, so that their experience may be made of benefit to other associations in conducting work already in hand or determining new lines of activity. Copies of the bulletin (Commercial Organizations in Southern and Western Cities, Special Agents Series No. 19) may be obtained from the superintendent of documents, government printing office, Washington, D. C., for ten cents. The general features of commercial organization work are treated in a bulletin issued by the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce in 1912 (Commercial Organizations, Special Agents Series No. 60), copies of which also may be obtained from the superintendent of documents for five cents each. SCHOOLS TEST FARMERS' SEEDS. If Oklahoma has bumper crops this year it will be due in considerable measure to the direct aid rendered the farmers by the schools. Throughout the state the teachers and pupils have been systematically testing seeds for the planters in their respective communities, according to information received at the United States bureau of education. Every teacher in the state has received from State Superintendent Wilson a scoring sheet on which to record the tests. Seed from last year's crop is reported to be particularly unreliable, and agricultural experts say there is special need this year for some such direct service as the schools have offered. "No movement has been started in our state which can result in as much good with so little cost to the people generally," declares Mr. Wilson. "It will not only be a financial benefit to the farmer by teaching him to plant none but good seed, but it is of distinct educational value to the children. It furnishes one of the best lessons that can be taught in botany or agriculture, and affords the opportunity to come in closer contact with every farmer in the community, a thing which all good teachers are anxious to do." "If the tests are properly made and the information followed by the farmers, the results should be remarkable. The lessons taught can be applied year after year and constantly improved upon, until the time will come in Oklahoma, as it should come, when no seeds of any kind whatsoever will be planted until they have first been tested. If the schools, through their teachers and pupils, can bring this about, they will have fulfilled one of the greatest missions for which they are supported by public funds—that of making breadwinning easier." Officials of the bureau of education point to Superintendent Wilson's experiment in Oklahoma as an important example of what the schools can do to make the contact between education and the real life of the community in which the school is located. SUMS UP THEORIES OF LIFE IN TEN WORDS GIVES 4,000 BOOKS TO LIBRARY OF CONGRESS ALBERT I. IS DIFFERENT FROM PREDECESSOR ALBERT I. IS DIFFERENT FROM PREDECESSOR M'CUMBER'S CONTROVERSY WITH HIS CAR Can you, in ten words sum up your theories of life? This woman can. Have you some motto which expresses, not necessarily your religion, but your belief as to the proper mode of living? MARY MAY Not some an cient max im, gleaned from a volume of quotations, nor yet a post card guide to the life happy. It must be original; the result of careful thought and experience, and formulated to best meet your own present, as well as your future needs. present, as well as your future needs. Simple though it may sound, the problem is difficult. Every one has ideas on life and how to live. And, usually, every one is willing to impart them to any listening audience. But it is far more than a ten-word sign post on life's way that they paint. The real difficulty lies in condensing the ideas and the theories into the specified number of words. At least one woman believes she has found the answer. Here it is: "Count your blessings, and do all the good you can." Such is the keynote of the life of Mrs. William S. Kenyon, wife of the junior senator from Iowa. And while that motto does not express Mrs. Kenyon's religion, it exemplifies her ideas Jacob H. Schiff, New York banker. the distinguished has just made a second notable gift to the library of congress. A. H. It is to supplement the one made by him in 1912, consisting of a collection of Jewish books (Hebraica) compris- 10,000 volumes. The second collection, like the first, was brought together by Ephraim Deinard, the well-known collector, who, after disposing of the first collection, went to Europe and then to Palestine, for the purpose of forming a second collection which should supplement the first. It is this that Mr. Schiff has acquired and presented to the library. It consists of more than 4,000 volumes touching every field of Jewish thought and learning, religious and secular, extending over many centuries. It includes, for instance, Bibles with their commentaries and supercommentaries, Misnah and Talmud with their commentaries, Midrash, codes of law, cabalah, sermons, liturgy, philosophy, philology, scientific works, history, geography and Belles letters in general. Many of the books are first editions A gay, dashing young beauty of the Belgium aristocracy entered the ball- entered the bathroom of the royal palace in Brussels the other night wearing a fashionable gown. It was of the latest design, and so, quite naturally, there was a display of silk hosiery. Now, Albert I, king of the Belgians, is very much opposed to feminine apparel of this nature.

He had attempted to crank his automobile while standing on the slippery pavement. The machine had resisted the senator's efforts, but the ice had not. He had been precipitated from an erect position to a sitting posture. Already out, he had also "got under" his little Do You Know That— as to the ordinary duties of life—the best way to live so as to be happy, and create happiness. "It is surprising," she says, "how many blessings each of us have if we will only make the effort to look for them. If we are as persistent in our search for blessings as some people are in hunting trouble, the blessings will so overshadow the sorrows that we can bear them without undue despondency." Most people have mottoes. Some have them on the walls of their homes; others have them in their hearts. Some live up to them, but many do not. Mrs. Kenyon keeps her motto in her heart, and makes it the guide post to her everyday life. As for the first part of it, counting the blessings, she is willing and ready to talk. But as to the latter, doing good, it remains for others to do the telling. The COLORADO STATESMAN Mrs. Kenyon, who is a blonde, is the personification of optimism. It would be hard, indeed, to find any one more ready to laugh, more anxious to look on the bright side than is she. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF Nor is this a pose with her. She needs no Billiken or even Kewpie to lend an air of happiness when she is around. She is just naturally full of the joy of life and it would require a confirmed grouch, indeed, to withstand the sunniness of her nature. JOB PRINTING As for the last part of her motto, her concert of doing good is that it needs no accompaniment of brass band or trumpet, and that the little kindnesses which lie just beyond one's door should be done as quickly and willingly as the big opportunity, which hangs forever just on the horizon line. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY and rare. It includes also more than one hundred manuscripts, many of which bear early dates and can be traced to various countries, as well as several "incunabula" (fifteenth century books) of importance. While supplementing the former collection in several respects, the new one has also its individual features and characteristics. There is an excellent collection of Jewish melodies and songs, accompanied by notes and a fine collection of books and periodicals printed in Palestine. Of especial note is the extensive representation of the products of modern Hebrew literature. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. This branch of Hebrew literature, generally known as "Haskalah," started with the Mendelssohnian period and has developed since the time when the Jews were allowed to participate in the life and culture of the European nations. This literature, which is still flourishing in some countries, is mostly written in elegant, modernized Hebrew and embraces the various subjects covered by the western culture of today. Combined with the numerous Hebrew and Yiddish books formerly in the possession of the library, the two collections presented by Mr. Schiff form an excellent foundation for the Semitic division, for which an organization first was provided in the appropriation act effective last July. There seems a prospect that this division will develop into one of the most notable collections in the United States for the study of Semitics.

The king had soon noticed this violation of the royal edict against the wearing of what he calls immodest gowns at court balls and immediately ordered the culprit escorted from the room. This modesty may seem rather unique coming from a Belgian monarch, but the present ruler is vastly different from his uncle, King Leopold II, whom he succeeded on the throne. Since King Albert's accession the Belgian court has done with scandals and has assumed an air of strict propriety. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction And the court was badly in need of cleansing. When Leopold sat upon the throne the principal events in the little kingdom were the court scandals. While his early married life seemed to be as happy as is usual with kings, it wasn't long before Leopold demonstrated that he held his marriage vows more lightly than was the custom among European monarchs of his time. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver old automobile. With his cheek bone he made an attempt to jam loose the cast-iron license ticket from in front of the hood. Also the turning crank had walloped the senatorial occiput a good, hard wallop. A piece of sandy-gray adhesive plaster indicated the point of contact with the license card. The site of the crank wallop was not marked. The senator is all right now, but—la, la—if he had met up with any of his hardshell constituents while his face looked like a Balkan war map it sure would have been all day with him. Why Knock? Mrs. Ellsworth had a new colored maid. One morning as the maid came downstairs the mistress said: "Emma, did you knock at Miss Flora's door when I sent you with her breakfast?" "No, ma'am," replied the maid, with preternatural gravity. "What was de use of a 'knockin' at her do' w'en I known fo' sure she was in dar?"—St. Louis Mirror.

The underskirt is moderately full, plain, and finished with a wide hem. The overskirt forms a tunic drapery about the hips and is caught up in a series of shallow plaits at each side, forming a festoon at front and back. An ornament in the form of a small disk made of opalescent beads, from which ten strands of beads hang, serves to catch up the drapery at the sides. An embroidery of beads is applied to the chiffon, also. This consists of four parallel rows of beads extending down each side of the front and about the bottom of the overskirt. The bodice is a full blouse of chiffon over a short underwaist of satin and trimmed with a surplice of wide face. The short, straight sleeves are of lace, also. There is a wide girdle made of a width of satin cut on the bias. It is wrinkled and tacked to supports. It is soft and adjusts itself easily to the natural lines of the waist. The fast- Neckwear Sheer and Brilliant E 10 NECKWEAR for spring is not marked by the introduction of many novelties but in novel treatment of pieces with which we are already familiar. Like almost all other apparel, it tends to sheerness in materials and vividness as to color. Pieces are small, as a rule. The standing ruff, supported by small wires, leads in popularity among the novelties. It is shown in great variety, made of lace or net with a collar attached or with a fichu or a frill to lie against the bodice or coat. One of the newest and simplest is shown here. It is made of fine plaited net. This may be had at the stores, or other plaiting of lace or chiffon, all ready to use. The bound edges of the net (after the length of the ruff has been decided upon and cut off) are sewed together. Three very small wires are tacked in at the back, one on each side and one at the center. The ruff is finished with narrow silk or velvet ribbon, as shown in the picture. The shaded ribbons are liked for this purpose. Just below the ruff a pretty ornament is shown which consists of a small bow of velvet with little flower forms of silk braid pendant from it. The velvet is in a vivid color, as cerise or emerald green, and the flowers in pure white silk with plush centers like the velvet in color. It is easy to make this little ornamental bow of silk coronation braid and small bits of velvet. The collar at the top of the picture --- ening at the front is finished with a cluster of small ribbon roses in many soft, delightful colorings. The semilow neck is finished with a fold of chiffon. This is a pleasing gown, simple in outline and in decoration. The distinctly new feature in it is the employment of rows of beads for the trimming and the bead strands as a support for the side draping. The wide hem in place of the regulation three-inch hem is noticeable also in the underskirt. The design is suited also to the many pretty voiles, challies and crepes that are to be bought in such variety and at such low prices. And with some modification of the bodices this dress may be suited to almost any age. The hair ornament pictured with it is made of beads, supporting a tuft of marabou feathers. Satin slippers and silk hose, matching the gown in color, make the completion of the toilette perfect. But there are beautiful slippers in black and bronze that are just as effective with this simple gown. 333 is of marquisette embroidered in floss and finished with fine Teneriffe lace about the outside, edges. It is embroidered in fine scallops about the neck. This is one of the daintiest patterns, and very durable. It is to be worn with coats or dresses. Below this collar is a bow made of tubing of crepe de chine. This is pretty and easily made. The crepe de chine is cut in narrow bias strips two inches wide. The edges are laid together along the center of the strip and tacked to place. This gives a fold an inch wide. This is folded again and the folded edges blind-stitched together, forming the tubing. About two yards of it will be required for the bow and ends. The ends are finished with a pearl bead and small round beads covered with the crepe de chine. The remaining collar in the picture is made of batiste in a light tan color and embroidered in several colors and in oriental design. It will be effective on suits of linen in natural colors or white, and on cloth suits. It is finished with a band at the neck and rolls over the neck-opening of bodice or coat. Collarls like those shown in this style are to be worn with or without ties, at the fancy of the wearer. Long, straight ties of narrow velvet ribbon or of folded crepe de chine are shown, finished with beads at the ends. They are worn much like a strand of beads about the neck. --- JULIA BOTTOMLEY. A.
