PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Color Line Drawn Against British Subjects VOL. XX. Color Lin Drawn British (From New York Age) Millions of black and colored British subjects in the West Indies, Africa and the East Indies are interested in the question of their right to reside in any part of the British Empire, to engage in business and labor pursuits, and to be protected in their right to do so, they will be more interested in the question in the years of the immediate future than they have been and now are. The question is of like importance and interest to the large and increasing number of British West Indians now residing in the United States. The following news dispatch, therefore, contains matter of world-wide interest and importance: "Vancouver, B. C., May 19. Work has been received here that the steamer Komagata Maru, which sailed recently from Shanghai with 500 Hindus on board, is expected to reach Victoria on Friday of this week. The steamer was chartered especially by a wealthy Hindu with a view to testing the Canadian laws which have hitherto been invoked to bar out Hindus. The arrival of the steamer is said to be awaited with considerable anxietp at Ottawa. The backers of the movement, it is said, have abundance of money and a vigorous effort will be made to force the Dominion to allow the British subjects from India to enter freely into Canada. "Orders have been sent by provincial authorities to the immigration authorities at Victoria not to allow the Hindus to land. Immigration officials say they can stop the entry of Hindus on two grounds. They will first invoke the order in Council which was passed on April 1, prohibiting the entrance of artisans and laborers into Canada for a period of six months. If the Hindus evade this order by establishing that they are not artisans or laborers, the authorities will use the law which prohibits the entrance into Canada of Orientals except by direct passage from the country of their nativity. The present steamer, it is said, did not sail directly from India, but from Shanghai." The entire population of the British Empire is estimated to be 396,924,575, of whom only some 45,216,665 reside in Europe proper and are rated to be white persons; --- the question raised by the Canadian authorities, therefore, affects some 344,077,910 colored and black British subjects residing in the West Indies, the Australian, Asia and Africa. The East Indians are the most numerous, being 300,000,000. How most safely to rule them has long been one of the most difficult and troublesome questions in British politics, the conquest of the country having been begun in 1757 and completed in 1877. Many of the people are very wealthy, and of late years many of them have developed great learning and inaugurated movements for better conditions of government and native opportunity that the British authorities consider it not politic nor safe to concede, independence being the ultimate purpose of the native people. There are in Africa 31,854,000 black and colored subjects, not including Egypt, and some 1,467,000 in the British West Indies. The black and colored subjects of Great Britain are ruled by the small white minority and taxed to the finest point for the benefit of the home government and not of the colonies, which derive the smallest possible benefit and advantage from the government of their white overlords. In all the British colonies a restlessness has begun to manifest itself, as the result of modern education and inventions of all sorts, mainly steam navigation and electrical communication. Great and far reaching native movements and changes in government and taxation may be expected within the next fifty years, as the people have become too wise to submit longer tamely to alien rule and exploitation. The point the Hindus have determined to test in Canada is of world-wide importance and significance to the black and colored people of America, Asia and Africa. worth Knowing. Every person when he takes up his cards at a game of whist holds one out of 635,013,559,600 possible hands. As for the total number of variations possible among all players, it is so enormous as almost to exceed belief. Mr. Babbage calculated that if 1,000,000 men were to be engaged dealing cards at the rate of one deal every minute, day and night, for 100,000,000 years, they would not have exhausted all the possible variations of the cards, but only one one hundred thousandth part of them. State Hiat & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO SA COLOR LINE FOR EMOTIONS AS NEGROES SING NO (Evening Journal, Dallas Express) Three hundred Negro voices, "cultivated" and "uncultivated," blended their rich native African tones in a program of ancient and modern Negro music last night at the Fair Park Coliseum, which delighted and charmed an audience of about 3,000 people, white and black, in the first Negro "folksong" festival ever attempted in this part of the South. Native racial musical tendencies were not "tampered with" by the director, E. Azalia Hackley of Philadelphia, according to her own statement. The real Negro music of the plantation "fo' de wah" in the South was taken in its native state, tutored carefully and directed with a rare understanding of the Negro and his musical tastes in such a way that from the opening words of the folk song, "There's a Meetin' Here Tonight," to the last words of "Dixie" as joined in by all, emotions that knew no color line surged in 3,000 Southern breasts, both black and white. On the left side of the Coliseum, reserved for white patrons, hundreds of gray-haired Southern ladies and gentlemen, survivors of the peerless era of Southern civilization before the '60s, listened with tearful eyes at the sweet Negro melodies that took them back on memory's wings to the days when the faithful black body-servant stood guard over his "Mistus" and his "Mastah's stuff" during that long fight of brothers. On the right, reserved for Negroes, a vast ebony sea of faces were raised in admiration for success of the Negro race in this effort toward better things. Old "Uncles," who might have stepped from one of "Marse" Joel Chandler Harris stories, walked proudly to seats ushered by young Negro boys of the Dallas Negro High School, under whose auspices the program was given, material-tooking old "Black Mamunies" sat proudly but uneasily under the glare of the great lights and in a contrast that spoke in thunderous tones of a racial transection; in the boxes on the right were Negro men and women almost as white as the audience on the left. On the stage 300 "dressed-up" Negroes, scared to death of stage fright at first, sang straight out to the hearts of white and black. "Sister Riddel" was there. Sister Riddell is the one who led the song, "Lord, I Want to Be a Christian," when Gipsy Smith preached to Negroes. She was introduced last night as a composer, as well as a song leader. She led that song again last night and the rhythm of it will linger in every hearer's mi for days. "Lord, I want to be nor lovin'—in my heart—in my heart. Lord, I want to be like Jesus—in my heart—in my heart." Probably the most enjoyed number on the program was "Roll Jordan, Roll," by the chorus. The women's voices carried the main tide of the song like a rolling, rushing river and the deep bases and baritones came in with an ingenius and thrilling imitation of the beating of the waves which was most effective. THE NUMBER OF COLORED PEOPLE EMPLOYED BY THE GOVERNMENT COMES OUT The race problem even in these days of the vexing Mexican question and the free tolls muddle, is one that is taking its fair share of the Capital spot-light. The appointment by President Wilson of Robert H. Terrell, a Negro, to judge of the District Municipal Court, which Southern Senators opposed, served to accentuate the stir in Congress over the bill introduced in the House by Representative Aswell of Louisiana, providing for the segregation of white and black government clerks under the civil service. There are today 22,540 Negroes in the employ of the United States government, who draw a total of $12,456,760 a year. Of these Negroes 4,426 are in the army, 1,529 are in the navy and 2,140 are in various navy yards and stations. Of the rest 6,347, with an annual payroll of $4,099,116 are employed in Washington and the remainder work in government buildings throughout the United States. Twenty-seven Negroes are employed in the White House; 26 in the State Department; 926 in the Treasury; 170 in the War Department; 174 in the Navy Department 87 in the Postoffice Department; 593 in the Interior Department; 43 in the Department of Justice; 164 in the Department of Agriculture; 239 in the Government printing office; 41 in the Interstate Commerce Commission; 115 in the Senate office building; 46 in the Congressional Library; 171 in Washington postoffice; 2,413 in the District of Columbia local government. In the department service outside of Washington, 16 Negroes are employed in the diplomatic and consular service; 1,082 in the treasury branches; 2,342 in the War Department; 3,599 in the Post Office Department; 31 in the Interior Department; 102 in the Department of Agriculture, and 775 miscellaneously. Speaking for his segregation bill in committee, Representative Aswell explained that its object was to make it unnecessary for white government employes, especially women, to work under or alongside of Negroes in the departments.—Western Messenger. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES The architect's plans for the erection of the state home buildings for incorrigible colored girls at Tipton, Mo., have been submitted it and approved by the board of managers of the institution. The central edifice will be 135 feet long and 66 feet wide. This, with the proposed group of buildings, will be of fireproof construction. The estimated cost of the buildings is placed at $89,000. decided that in the future it will not give a diploma to any boy or girl who has not received definite vocational training. According to Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the institution, the result of this will be a better prepared body of rural teachers. A great many of the Hampton graduates go back among their own people to teach the things they have learned in school. "In order to make their training Frankfort, Ky., May 27—There will be many disappointed students as well as mothers and fathers on the third of June when the graduates of the Kentucky State Normal fail to get their diplomas because Supt. Hamlett has refused to sign the diplomas on account of the incompetency of some of the teachers. There is an existing difference between the Trustee Board Pres. G. P. Russel and State Supt. Hamlett. It is hoped that this matter will be adjusted quickly, owing to the reflection that will be cast on the good name of one of the most prominent colored schools in Kentucky. Dallas, Texas, May 30 —Mme. E. Azalia Hackley, the celebrated soprano soloist has entered civil proceedings against the Southern Railroad for the discourteous treatment of a jim-crow conductor. Mme. Hackley contends that woman is not to be considered as a colored woman when she is a railroad papsenger, and she is here to contend for her rights. After the case is settled Mrs. Hackley will sail for Europe, where she intends to remain until fall. On her return from Europe she will be with a musical institute in Chicago, Ill. Waynesboro, Pa., May 28.—By the will of Mrs. Elizabeth King Ellicott, of Baltimore, who owns a handsome cottage at Charmain, near Waynesboro, and where she had been spending her summer for many years, filed for probate in the Orphans Court, Baltimore, the bulk of her estate will eventually be used to promote the intellectual advancement and material welfare of the colored people of Maryland. The corporation that is to have charge of this work is to be known as "The Elizabeth King Ellicott Fund." It will receive for its purposes all the real estate owned by Mrs. Elliott, said to worth $150,000. Hampton institution, the pioneer among the schools for teaching Negroes and Indians, has de- NO 41 cided that in the future it will not give a diploma to any boy or girl who has not received definite vocational training. According to Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of the institution, the result of this will be a better prepared body of rural teachers. A great many of the Hampton graduates go back among their own people to teach the things they have learned in school. "In order to make their training more effective," says Dr. Frissell, "much thought has been given to the selection of new students. The application department reports that 2,328 letters have been written this year; 1,536 application blanks have been sent out; 909 have been returned; 384 admission cards have been issued, and 237 applicants have entered."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Recently there has been organized in Nashville the only negro board of trade in the world, writes Michael Jones in a communication to the Washington Star. It serves as a beacon light and stands as an ideal example of what such an organization means to a community in which there are colored men engaged in business. J. C. Napier, exregister of the United States treasury, is president of the board, and through his master mind the policies are shaped and carried out. The young and unparalleled organization is demonstrating how indispensable such a body is to the fullest and broadest economic, religious and intellectual development of any town, city or country in which there are a goodly number of colored citizens. Dr. Booker T. Washington, whom the world honors and reveres, who has been invaluable to the progress of his race and who is an undisputed authority on negro life in America, tells us that there are owned, operated and controlled by negroes in America 100 insurance companies, 300 drug stores, 65 banks, 450 newspapers, magazines and periodicals and more than 20,000 other businesses of various kinds. These people are succeeding in business because they are doing what the world wants done. A review of these facts will bring "visions of a better future" to even the most pessimistic of the race. How vivid it is that the Afro-American's problem is one of persistence rather than one of existence—that nothing but success awaits him if he will but have faith, endure for a while and keep courage. It is imperative—and that soon—that he, in a much larger measure, ceases to be employ and becomes employer. Let there come from his midst satraps of trade, kings of finance, lords of industry, railroad wards, steel czars and merchant princes. Ninety negro millionaires could solve about ninety per cent of the race problem. The American Genetic association foresees a solution of the so-called race problem in the natural increase of the two races as analyzed by Professor Wilcox of the census bureau. Mr. Wilcox says the Negro is steadily losing ground in the South both by immigration of whites and by their own declining birthrate. They are losing still more rapidly in the North. The more rapid increase of the whites is attributed not only to the influx of immigration, but to the fact that in the registration area where vital statistics are available, including three-fifths of the whites and one-fifth of the negroes, the negro death rate exceeds the white by about two-thirds. In the past 30 years the excess in the proportion of negro children has been falling until the present difference between the race is less than one-fourth that of 1880, and will, at the present rate, have disappeared when the next census is taken. This decline in the birthrate is ascribed largely to nepo emigration into the northern cities. The birthrate among negroes in the city is but two-thirds of city whites, whereas in the country it is above the country whites. Besides the fecundity of all races is lower in the north and the negro trend northward is constantly increasing. Most of the licorice root used in America comes from the marshy plains of Turkey and Russia. Discussing the condition of the colored Baptist churches in Chicago, the leading church paper, the Standard, says: "The need of leaders is fundamental. The negro has a social passion for organization. He wants to start something, or belong to something already started. There is scarcely a field of organization within his reach that he has not covered straightforwardly or surreptitiously. Many of these organizations, in the church and out of it, fail. Perhaps more fall than succeed. The failure, however, is not due to the lack of co-operation or interest, but rather to the lack of comprehension and intelligence in working it out. "They are willing to try approved methods, to copy successful organizations, to imitate successful efforts; but these are of little advantage unless they are helped to secure such trained leadership as will put them in possession of the agents and the assets which were the indispensable factors in securing this success. It seems obvious that we can be of real help in training the men and women who are to be, in time, the leaders in congregational life of these churches." The Saco (Me.) fire department has a mascot in a cat which, because of its markings, is called Mackerel. The cat was asleep on the pole of a hose wagon when an alarm rang in, and was forced to cling to its precarious perch until the fire was reached. It had a wild ride, and as soon as it had a chance got off and went back to the hosehouse. The heart of a standing man beats 81 times a minute, of a sitting one 71 times. When a man is lying down it beats are reduced to 66 a minute. Not only is it of vital interest to this whole municipality of Houston that its large negro population should acquire that reasonable intelligence which is the fruit of a good system of public schools and those useful habits of sustained labor which will make them invaluable in the growing industrial enterprises of Houston, but it is of equal interest that the negro population should live on sanitary streets and in sanitary yards and homes and that when stricken with disease they should have access to a well planned and well regulated hospital. Modern economists and statisticians have demonstrated that the financial losses due to preventable illness reach an astounding annual total among those employed in the industrial enterprises of the nation. These statistics apply with force to the colored population of the South where the negro is a large industrial factor. Hence this movement for negro hospital facilities is a timely step in the right direction—a step dictated by an enlightened scientific self interest on part of the good white people as well as by the more unselfish humanitarian and religious motives. To my own people here, I would say, "Seek to measure up to the opportunity presented you in this great city, along all lines, industrial, commercial, educational and religious. Let the colored ministers, physicians, teachers, merchants, lawyers and sturdy laboring people who are the backbone of the race join hands, heart and pocketbooks to help push this negro hospital movement to a successful conclusion. Do your utmost. Sacrifice something for the benefit of the race and the good white people will do their part." —Ed Blackshear, in the Houston Post. H. P. Ewing, a negro farmer of Wyandotte county, Kansas, has evolved a plan that promises well for the betterment of his race. A farmer himself, he believes in the "back to the soil" movement for his people. The outcome of his long cherished plan is the successful launching of the Kaw Valley Truck Farm company, incorporated under the laws of Kansas, with a capital stock of $5,000, divided into 500 shares of $10 value. The company has leased 105 acres just west of Armourdale, has it all under cultivation and is now preparing to market a crop of vegetables of all kinds that will show results of scientific and intensive farming. For 35 years Ewing has been raising crops in Wyandotte county, at one time having 1,000 acres of ground planted wholly to potatoes. From his years of experience he has evolved ideas that not only increase his yield, but enable him to market the best class of farm products. For example, he has found that turnips furnish the best fertilizer for potato ground. "I find for this climate and soil that the Red River Ohio potato is the best seed to plant," he said in describing his methods. "As soon as the crop is harvested I sow the ground to turnips. The best of these I harvest, the balance are plowed under, enriching the soil and resulting in a better grade of potatoes the following year. The best time to market potatoes here is in July and August. Prices are better, as we do not have to compete with the northern grown product." Austria has 74,267 miles of highway. In 1910 the government expended $5,568,290 on roadway maintenance. "Have faith in the white man. He is your friend." Booker T. Washington, the negro educator, offered this advice to members of his race in an address at Atlanta, Ga., before the annual negro Christian students' conference. He declared that notable progress in co-operation between the races had been made in the last decade. The speaker pleaded for the education of his race. "By right living, obeying the laws and showing due deference to every man, you will demonstrate to the world what education makes out of the negro," said Doctor Washington. A popular novelty recently introduced in France is a cup so made as to keep tea or coffee hot while the user is reading the morning paper between sips. This is accomplished by providing the cup with a double bottom into which a slip of heated metal can be placed. The liquid is kept hot for a period of about twenty minutes. Many speeches are historical only because, like history, they repeat themselves. The value of Hungary's agricultural returns does not depend on several large crops or on the products of certain specified branches of agriculture, but rather on the great diversity of its products, for there is probably no country in Europe in which so many branches of agriculture are carried on. China proper has less than 0.4 mile of open railway to every 100 square miles of territory, and, estimating the population at 327,000,000, there is 0.18 mile of line to every 10,000 inhabitants. LINER EMPRESS CARRIED MORI PASSENGERS THAN AT FIRST REPORTED. 255SAVEDBYSTORSTAD Lord Mersey, Who Presided Over Titanic Inquiry, Member of Royal Commission to Investigate Empress of Ireland Disaster. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Montreal, June 5.—News that Lord Mersey, who presided over the British inquiry into the loss of life on the Titanic, is to be a member of the royal commission appointed to investigate the Empress of Ireland disaster, was received here with satisfaction. As Lord Mersey was president of the Titanic court, it is assumed that he will be similarly honored when the royal commission meets. The Canadian members of the commission are Chief Justice Ezekiel McLeod of New Brunswick and Sir Adolph Routhier of Quebec. Another change has been made in the number of dead. The latest figures, given out in an official statement by the Canadian Pacific Railway Steamship Company, show that 1,024 persons perished. The company has learned that there were 1,476 persons aboard the Empress instead of 1,387, as heretofore stated, hence the increase in the death list. The total saved is now given as 452. Capt. Ove Lange, Montreal agent of the Maritime Steamship Company, owners of the Storstad, declared that of the 450 persons who survived the disaster, 350 were cared for on the Storstad. Of these, 225 were rescued by the crew of the Storstad, while thirty others, rescued by the Storstad's men, were placed on the government steamship Eureka. The lifeboats of the Empress of Ireland are credited with saving 125 and bringing them on board the Storstad. "The Storstad's small boats," Captain Lange says, "were loaded to the limit of their capacity, and they ceased their efforts only when there were no more to be saved." Government vessels have been assigned to patrol the St. Lawrence river in search of any more of the Empress of Ireland's dead. In sixty-nine counties and colonies on Sunday memorial services will be held by some 200,000 soldiers of the Salvation Army in memory of the 138 members of the organization who perished when the Norwegian collier Storstad collided with the Empress. Salvation Army officers estimated that more than 2,700,000 persons would gather in the army's citadels the world over to mourn. Mrs. Dunlevy Among Dead. Quebec.—The names of twenty-one American passengers who were on the Empress of Ireland when she went down are contained in an official report sent by Gebhard Willrich, American consul here to the State Department in Washington. Of these only six were saved. The names of the American survivors given by the consul are: Charles P. Clark, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs. Harry Freeman, Milwaukee; Miss Edith Bach, Rochester, Minn., and Herman and Frieda Kruz, Sherburne, Minn. The other names contained in the report are: Americans whose bodies have been brought here; Mrs. George C. Richards, Terre Haute, Ind.; Rudolph Bach, Rochester, Minn.; Mrs. F. H. Dunlevy, Denver, and Evan Karalaske, Duluth, Minn. Americans lost whose bodies have not been found or identified; Mrs. John Fisher, M. W. Mauncey, H. and A. J. Heath, Chicago; George C. Richards, Terre Haute, Ind.; Alexander Bunthome and George Johnston; Santa Barbara, Calif.; the Misses Bessie and Florence Bawden, Hillsboro, Ill.; A. Matier, Indianapolis, and Miss Eva Searle, Seattle. TWO AMERICANS SLAIN. Report Two U. S. Subjects Killed in Tampico District. Washington.—The killing of Weston Burwell of this city and a companion also supposed to have been in American, by Mexicans in the Tampico district about two weeks ago, was confirmed in dispatches to the State Department. Search now is being made for the bodies. Reports that Burwell was executed as a spy are being investigated by the governor of Tamaulipas. Senor Riano, the Spanish ambassador, asked Secretary Bryan to appeal for the protection of Spanish citizens in Tampico. THORNE AND WILSON NAMED Partial Returns Give Cummins 79, 115 to 44.379 For Savage Des Moines—Returns on Monday's primary from seventy-four out of the ninety-nine counties in the state appeared to make certain the nomination of Clifford Thorne and James H. Wilson as railroad commissioners on the Republican ticket. Senator Cummins received 79,115 votes to 44,379 for A. C. Savage in eighty-seven counties on the Republican senatorial contest. GUN SHIPMENTS TO MEXICAN REBELS ORDERED CAPTURED BY PRESIDENT WILSON. MEDIATORS SEND NOTE CONSTITUTIONALISTS' AGENTS SEND A B C ANSWER TO CHIEF AND URGE RESISTANCE. Washington.—The efforts to make mediation of the Mexican troubles successful were shifted Wednesday from Niagara Falls to Washington, and to Durango, Mexico, the temporary headquarters of General Carranza. The outcome of these latest negotiations will determine largely the fate of mediation. Rafael Zubaran, General Carranza's chief diplomatic agent here, received the reply of the A B C mediators to Carranza's note of several days ago. While the contents of the reply were not made public, it is understood it referered the demands originally made by the mediators, that Carranza agree to a cessation of hostilities between himself and General Huerta before envoy felt the constitutionalists would be welcome at the mediation conference. Señor Zubaran, immediately on receipt of this note, put it in cipher and telegraphed it to General Carranza at Durango. With the ciphered note went an urgent recommendation from Señor Zubaran and the other representatives of the constitutionalists here that General Carranza decline to participate in the mediation conference on the terms laid down by the mediators. Orders went forth to the several departments of the government to prevent arms and ammunition going from the United States from falling into the hands of the rebels in Mexico. This means that the navy has received instructions to stop the Ward liner Antilla which sailed from New York with 3,000,000 rounds of ammunition consigned to the rebels at Tampico, from delivering the cargo. When informed that Secretary Bryan had also received orders to stop the shipment of arms, the revolutionists admitted they needed the ammunition to carry on their campaign against General Huerta and they believed the action of the United States government was for no other end than that of forcing General Carranza to accept the offer of the mediators. Niagara Falls, Ont., June 4.—Mediation waits on General Carranza, commander-in-chief of the constitutionalist forces in Mexico. He has in his possession a communication from the three South American diplomats which opens the door for constitutionalist representation in the conferences here. Upon his word depends whether the entire Mexican problem will be settled by diplomacy or whether the constitutionalists will continue to fight their way to Mexico City. The mediators have, in a dignified way, smoothed the path for constitutionalist participation. The United States government wants them to accept. A rejection of the invitation may eventually mean the withdrawal by the Washington government of the moral support it has been extending to the constitutionalist cause. The mediators are hopefully confident that General Carranza will send envoyes here. CUMMINS' MAJORITY IS 35,000. Des Moines, Ia.—Incomplete returns from Monday's primaries in Iowa indicate that Cummins defeated Savage for the Republican nomination for United States senator by 35,000, and that Connolly has the Democratic nomination, defeating Meredith by about 6,000. Outside of his home county, Connolly and Meredith broke even in the rest of the state. For Congress, the Democrats nominated, where contests took place, the following: Second district, W. J. McDonald, Iowa City; Sixth district, W. H. Hamilton, Sigourney; Seventh district, C. S. Cooper, Des Moines; Ninth district, H. S. Mosher, Walnut; Tenth district, D. M. Kelleher, Fort Dodge. Republicans nominated in contested districts: Third district, B. E. Sweet, Waverly; Sixth district, C. W. Ramsey, Bloomfield; Seventh district, C. C. Dowell, Des Moines. Democratic State Convention July 30. Democratic State Convention Bury Denger.—At an executive committee meeting it was decided that the Democ eratic state assembly will be held in Denver, July 30. One Killed; Two Hurt, in Explosion. Washington.—One man, Bernard Glosmet of Carbury, N. D., was killed, and two others were dangerously inju- ned in an explosion aboard the scout cruiser Salem at Vera Cruz, according to a dispatch from Admiral Badger. Resolute Winner of Second Race. Rye, N. Y.—The Resolute won the second trial race with the Vanitele in the series to select a defender for the America's cup. The boats are now tied, one to one.

The school term, covering a period of nine months (session of 1913-14) comes to a close throughout the country during May and June with its ever-mindful question of "AFTER SCHOOL—WHAT NEXT?" which impresses itself on pupil and parent in a manner better imagined than described. Many parents set certain standards and courses to be pursued and achieved, from the cradle; and with unswerving devotion to the interests of their progeny, adhere to a policy which like rivers in their courses, from source to mouth, wind here and there, now on surface, now subterranean, depositing their voluminous amount of water in the ocean after traversing some of the richest parts of the earth, affording possibilities for the explorer to bring to light the hidden wonders and treasures hitherto concealed in the bosom of Mother Earth. In former times among certain races and nations, children were fitted to fill certain positions in life, and, with few exceptions, after they had gone through the course provided, they stepped from the region of training into the positions that awaited them. There was the thorough absence of the present-day worry of "what will my boy—or girl—do after school; after graduation, after years of toil and arduous studies?" as the faculty or teaching staff of the schools personally interested themselves in the future welfare of their charge and provision was made in time so that the hearts of all were gladdened when the fact presented itself that something was insured for the new graduate to continue the usual active and progressive course in another channel. In fact, it did not end there, as reports from the heads of various departments, whether governmental or otherwise, where they were employed, were generally sent to their alma mater, which formed a reciprocity between teacher and pupil that was not easily abandoned. This exists in part today, but addressing ourselves particularly to the members of our race as a whole, there should be greater indulgence in this idea. Those of us who are business men and women, professionals, etc., etc., should be ready with avenues of employment for our future representatives of the home, state and nation, thereby encouraging the diligent student to work and hope; for while many have been denounced for dropping by the wayside, yet, when we take a careful and impartial review of the whole matter we discover that it is due to the lack of provision being made for those who are so zealously at work in their preparation to do good and great things. Unfortunately for us, we are members of a nation that offers hardly any advantages or opportunities in this way, but with the very little that we get and the backing of TIME and our fostering and diffusing EDUCATION among us, we feel certain that ample and suitable provision will be made, so we must start in ourselves and for ourselves the same appearing selfish, but with the constant reminder from the glorious (yet inglorious) side of our country, that they form the entity and we the nonenity, we must work out our own salvation and prove ourselves a people at par with any other in our contribution to the world's progress.

Remember, therefore, young graduates, school is closed—yet school is opened.

IRONING THE SILK BLOUSE Some Rules That It Is Very Necessary to Observe If One Would Have Perfect Work. Never dry a silk blouse before a fire or out of doors, but lay it quite flat in a clean tea towel and leave for an hour. If at the end of an hour you find the blouse is still very damp, cover it over with a thin, smooth cloth, and run the hot iron over it until it is perfectly dry. Take care that the iron does not touch the damp silk, for if it does it will most likely leave a rusty stain very difficult to remove. Have beside you a basin containing clean, warm water and a rag; this is to damp out any creases formed in the silk when ironing. Iron the neck, wristbands and sleeves first; then the back and front. You must keep on ironing until no steam arises. Give the sleeves a final pressing at the end. If you are using a sleeveboard this is quite a simple matter, as the sleeve fits nicely on to it and can be easily turned. If, however, you are ironing flat on the table, remember to do the under side first, for then you can remove any creases made when ironing the top side with the damp rag mentioned above. If you have a baby iron you will find it a great help when you do the cuffs, as gathers are sometimes rather difficult to manage properly with a large one. CRULLERS THAT ARE PERFECT Time-Honored Recipe It Will Be Found Hard to Make Any Improvement On. Three eggs beaten without separating, nine tablespoonfuls of sugar five tablespoonfuls of melted butter, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of cinnamon, two cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a pinch of salt and one-half a cupful of nuts Mix eggs and sugar, then add butter, milk, cinnamon and salt. Lastly well-sifted flour, to which you have already added the baking powder Beat until light. Roll out on floured baking board until about one-half an inch thick, cut with circular cutter cutting another ring in the center Handle as little as possible. Have deep fat, smoking hot, drop the crullers into it, first trying a small piece of raw potato in the fat. If this turns golden brown at once, the fat is at the proper temperature. Here lies all of success or failure. The crullers should swell up and turn a beautiful light brown in less than a minute Remove at once with wire dipper. Roll in powdered sugar and cinnamon. Berlin Waffles. Sift together one quart of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, half a teaspoonful of salt and three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Rub into these dry ingredients two tablespoonfuls of hard or fresh butter. Add four eggs beaten very light, the grated rind of one lemon, one teaspoonful of powdered cinnamon or the extract, and a pint of thin cream. Make a smooth batter that will pour readily. The Germans eat these with sugar flavored with the extract of lemon. When the batter is poured on the waffle iron, a few dried currants or chopped candied fruit sprinkled over it quickly will give you a Swiss waffle. Asparagus Upon Toast Cut away the tough ends of the asparagus and tie the bunch with soft string, then cook for 25 minutes or until tender in salted, boiling water in a pan long enough for the stalks to lie full length. Prepare some thin slices of crustless toast, dip each in the asparagus liquor and butter while hot, arranging the slices neatly on a heated dish. Drain the asparagus and spread it over the toast, adding butter and salt and pepper to taste. This dish is even more tempting with a creamy drawn butter poured over the top after the asparagus is laid on the toast. Dutch Potato Balls Prepare a quart of fluffy mashed potatoes (this necessitates the use of about ten potatoes). Beat in an egg then form into balls; while still hot roll lightly in an egg beaten with one half cupful of water, and set on a buttered sheet in a hot oven till browned Remove with a pancake turner. Stuffed Dates One pound of sugar dates (etoned) three-fourths pound walnuts (with shell on), one neufchatel cheese. Put nut meats through food chopper and then mash with cheese until thoroughly mixed. Then stuff dates with the mixture and roll in coarse sugar. To Clean a Carpet Instead of sweeping your stair carpet try wiping it over with a damp cloth. Use a teaspoonful of ammonia in two quarts of warm water. Your carpet will look clean and bright and there will be no dust. Stale Refrigerator To take out the stale smell from a refrigerator after a winter of uselessness, go over it with a solution of three-quarters lukewarm water and one-quarter borax. It will refresh and give a wholesome scent. Making Your Own Washcloth. A satisfactory washcloth is made of two or three thicknesses of mosquito netting. The edges are finished by crocheting a scallop in pink or blue. THE CALL BOX. Thre are 60,000 postoffices in the United States operated by the Government. There are 70,000 cities and towns reached by telephone. The Government rents or owns the postoffice buildings, owns the mail pouches, and pays the wages of the postal clerks. The biggest item in the mail service—the transportation of the mails—is in the hands of private enterprise. The Government doesn't own a single postal car, an engine, or a mile of track. It depends entirely upon private enterprise—the railroads—for the essential thing that makes its mail service possible. The Bell System has 10,000 more offices than there are postoffices. Every mile of wire, every pole, and every switchboard that helps to furnish the Universal Service of the Bell System was paid for and is owned by private enterprise. In the mountain region alone, the territory served by your telephone company, there are 3,151 telephone offices, handling over a million calls every day.

DEATH CAUSED. BY BLAST Little Girl, One aoe Children to Escape, Says She Helped Her self—Ship’s Surgeon Tells Ex- perience—Crew Is Praised. Quebec.—Thrilling tales of heroism, stories of futile fights for life, narra- tives that tell of the horrors of that fateful few moments after the Em- press of Ireland was rammed by the Storstad poured from the lips of the rescued when the special train bearing them reached this city. ‘There was little voiced criticism for the terrible loss of life; rather those who had been snatched from the jaws of death seemed anxious to tell of men who had proven themselves heroes in the supreme moments of their lives. Special praise was given to the work of Dr. James F. Grant of Victoria, B. C., ship surgeon on the Empress. To his coolness was credited the saving of a large number of persons taken out of the water who probably would have perished had they not received prompt medical attention. Surgeon's Own Narrow Escape. A graphic description of the scene on the Empress of Ireland after the collision was given by Doctor Grant. “I was in my cabin,” said the ship's surgeon, “and knew nothing of the ac- cident until the boat listed so that I tumbled out of my berth and then rolled under {t. I tried to turn on the light, but there was no power. 1 reached the bolted door, but the list Was so strong that it took me consid- erable time to open it. : “When finally I got out and reached the passageway It was so steep, due to the way the ship was canted, that my efforts to climb were rendered impos- sible by the carpet which I was cling- ing to breaking away. “I then scrambled up and managed to get my head through a porthole, but I was unable to get my shoulders through. At that time the ship was lying almost flat in the water cn its starboard side. *A passenger finally managed to pull me through the porthole. Sank With One Hundred Others. “About a hundred passengers were gathered on the side of the ship at the time, but a moment after I joined them the vessel took another list and phinged to the bottom. “I next found myself in the water and swam toward the lights of the steamer Storstad, and when nearly ex- hausted from the struggle and the ex- posure I was picked up by a lifeboat. “This boat went on to the scene of the disaster and picked up a load of survivors from the water and then took them on board ‘the Storstad There we were wrapped in blankets and I was provided with clothes. “When able I did what I could to help the survivors. Some of them, however, were in such exhausted con- dition that they died.” Child Says She Saved Herself. Only two children are known to have been saved from the wreck. A wonderful rescue was one of these— little eight-year-old Gracie Hanagan, daughter of the leader of the Salvation Army band. Her father and mother were both drowned. Gracie was not told of her loss and believed at night that her father and mother would come to Quebec on the next boat. When asked how she was saved Gracie replied: “Oh, I saved myself.” The child was entirely unconcerned, apparently not realizing what she had been through. No lifeboat was near when she was thrown from the Em- press, She sank at once, but rose to the surface In a moment, saw a plece of floating wood near her and seized it. Later she was pulled into a lifeboat. She had been benumbed to the point of exhaustion by the cold water, but Kindly hands worked skilfully to re- vive her and sho soon was entirely re- stored. Saves Self and Wife. Major Attwell of Toronto and his wife were among the sayed. “I got a Ife belt for my wife,” said Major Attwell, “and we both jumped into the water together when we saw that the vessel was doomed to go down. We both sank three times, be- ing carried under by the suction of the foundering vessel. When we came up the third time I saw a lifeboat near, and to it I swam, pulling my wife after me. Then those In the boat pulled us in and we were saved. “The impact was just sufficient to waken us, It sounded as if our boat had struck a rock, It was very slight, Commander of Empress of Ireland De- tected Disguise of Murderer. New York, May 30—Capt. H. G. Kendall, commander of the Empress of Ireland, brought about the capture of Dr. Hawley H. Crippen, American dentist, who was accused of murder- ing his wife, Belle Elmore Crippen, in London. Doctor Crippen, with his stenogra- eed ee nee A ta ee ore Wf aL) MR to be seen, In fact, the people on the deck were so few that they were hard- ly noticeable. | “The reason for this is that when the boat had listed to ono side the stairs, from the sleeping apartments up to the boat decks were very diff. cult, almost impossible to mount. 1 did not see the hole in the side of our ship as I rushed for the stairs, but 1 did see the water entering in euch volume that it threatened to drown us before we could mount the stairs.” Salvation Army Man's Story. A. McIntyre was in the second cabin with most of the other Salvation Army passengers. He told a vivid story of his own experiences and of what he saw as he swam to safety. “Virtually every leading officer of the Salvation Army in Canada is gone,” he said. “Commissioner, Rees and his wife and the children sank and only three of this family survive. Out of our Salvation party of 150 on board probaby less than twenty were res- cued. “1 was on the upper deck and there- fore had a better chance to get to safety than those in the lower berths. ‘The water came in through the port- holes of the lower decks before the passengers there realized their danger or that there was danger at all, “I was aroused from my sleep by thé impact and awoke the others in my cabin. I could then hear plainly the rush of water, and I felt sure that something serious had happened. I also heard the machinery of the boat running. It did not stop immediately after the crash, but continued until the explosion oceurred Gave Woman His Life Belt. “I grabbed a life preserver and went out to the deck. On deck there were no life belts and quite a number of people were standing about apparently unable to determine what to do. I gave my belt to Mrs. Foord, one of our party. I tied the belt on her myself. “My three comrades went to the bot- tom. I swam in the direction of the vessel that ran us down and was pulled into a lifeboat of the collier. I saw the collier standing not far from | where the Empress foundered. It was all lighted up. “When I was taken on board I saw many men rescued, practically un- clothed. I was almost in a state of nakedness myself, and the rest of those on board were shivering and in a bad state from the icy water of the river and the chilly morning air. Soon, however, we were attended to by those on board the collier and made warm and comfortable. Heard Boilers Blow Up. “As I swam through the icy waters I heard the dull explosion caused by, the water reaching the engines of the sinking ship. It was followed by a burst of steam that spread to all parts of the vessel. Then came a quick listing of the liner and she turned over. It looked to me as if she turned | turtle. | “[ don't think there were many first- | class passengers saved, I saw only one of the first-class boats lowered. “The weather was virtually calm | and there was plenty of light on the | water when I'came on deck. 1 saw no fog. “I thought at first we had hit a rock. | Some officers of the vessel came along | and said that the ship would not go | any further, for bottom had been | struck. | “The behavior of the crew was, on | the whole, good, though it must be | said that the men hardly had time to collect themselves or to effect rescues in any systematic way. “The boat was really sinking before the crew or anybody else realized it or could do anything “Those of the crew who got to the deck tried to launch a boat on the up- turned side of the vessel, but this was Impossible, because the list was such | that the boat could not be put into the water and landed on the side of the vessel “The decks were almost perpendicu- lar, so that many passengers in order to escape had to slide down from the higher side to the lower or water side.” Another Tells of Explosion. A story that there was a tremendous explosion on the Empress of Ireland after it was hit by the Storstad was told by Philip Lawler, a steerage pas- senger from Brantford, Ont. He was on the way to England with his wife and son Herbert, aged fifteen. When the collision came the Em- press listed under the severe shock and water rushed {nto the steerage quarters. A few seconds later there came an explosion that shook the ves- sel. This probably was when the wa- ter reached the boilers, Mr: Lawler pher, Ethel Clara Leneve, took pas- sage July 22, 1910, on the steamship Montrose of the Antwerp service, which Captain Kendall commanded at the time. Five days later police offi- cials at Quebec received a wireless message from Captain Kendall which said that Doctor Crippen and Miss Leneve were aboard. They had taken Passage as “Rey.

But when his flag was recently transferred to a new ship | ne of the officers made this little speech in the wardroom: —“T have served upon a flagship ever since I graduated at Annapolis. And be is the most humane admiral I ever sailed under.” Beatty dates back to the ox-team days of the Northwest. He was born in Azatlan, Wis., in 1853. Four years later his father decided to trek for Minnesota, where the prospects ahead seemed brighter. There was only one way in which to make that journey in those days. So the elder Beatty yoked four oxen to a Conestoga wagon, and the cortege swayed and rumbled off into the wilderness. The Beattys set- ted at Mantorville, Minn., where some me later the father opened a small country store. A hint at frontier con- ditions and home discipline may be found in this statement by one of his mates in the little country school: Gen.

Beatty's chief value to the navy has been as an expert on ordnance. Just as Admiral Fiske, now in charge of the bureau of operations, is largely responsible for the improvement 10 naval artillery practice, through the electric rangefinder and telescope sight he invented, so Beatty Is to be credited with a share of the improve- ment in the guns themselves which ‘has been worked out in the last dozen years.

The coming summer promises considerable activity in the Breckenridge gold fields. George Meikle, eighteen years old, employed on the C. A. Nix Bixler farm, nine miles east of Boulder was killed by lightning. Harry E. Bunkstrom, aeronaut, dropped 2,000 feet to his death at Elitch's gardens in Denver, before a crowd of 1,200 spectators. Decoration day was fittingly observed in Rocky Ford by members of Wadsworth post, G. A. R., and members of other local patriotic organizations. Four persons were seriously injured at Colorado Springs when an automobile, in which R. C. Meader and Harry Burns were riding, collided with a street car. Eight hundred cars of Texas cattle passed through Denver during the last few weeks consigned to Eastern markets, according to Colorado & Southern officials. Nicholas Tomeo, a Louisville saloon keeper, was arrested by United States troops on a charge of trying to sell liquor to a soldier. He was taken to Boulder to await trial. James B. Bingham was appointed cashier of the Rocky Ford factory of the American Beet Sugar Company, to succeed F. E. Hawley, who recently resigned from that position. The Colorado Supreme Court decided that the town of Aurora must pay the $150,000 in water works bonds issued by the town of Fletcher, out of which the present Aurora grew. Chief Justice George W. Musser of the State Supreme Court, whose term expires next January, will not be a candidate for re-election. Justice Musser confirmed rumors to this effect. Mrs. R. B. Spaulding and Mrs. L. A. Bickford, the oldest twins in Colorado, recently celebrated their seventeenth birthday, at a luncheon given in their honor by Mrs. Fred H. Thompson of Denver. The city commissioners of Denver passed the bill providing a $50 to $300 fine and a ten to ninety-day jail term for contractors engaged in city work who fail to pay a minimum wage of $2.50 a day to their laborers. The State Supreme Court decided the case of Marion Ethel Pearse, eight years old, who has been the subject of an international dispute between her mother and three sets of foster parents. The Supreme Court found that Mrs. F. B. Parks, wife of a wealthy cattleman of Grand Junction, should have charge of the child. According to a report made by Leslie E. Hubbard, inheritance tax collector, eighteen estates yielded $4,696 to the state. The largest estate was that of O. L. Davis of Las Animas county, $128,101, the tax amounting to $1,599. The smallest was that of Antonia Pighetti, who left an estate worth $3,000, carrying a tax of $78.40. During a severe electrical storm in the vicinity of Rocky Ford, one of the poles carrying the current for the local plant from Pueblo was struck. In consequence all the lights in the city suddenly went out. A performance of "Never Say Die," featuring Nat C. Goodwin, was in progress in the new Rourke theater when this occurred and the last act had to be played by candle light. Joe Costello, Spanish foreman, a Utah Hide and Live Stock Company sheep herder at Pinon Mesa, near Grand Junction, shot and instantly killed Juan Gonzales, a herder, at camp, twenty miles from Grand Junction. High water in the Poudre river probably will cost the city of Greeley $5,000 as the swift current has thrown up an island of silt and sand diverting the main channel of the stream some distance. Ultimately it will be necessary to extend the intake price 1,500 feet up the river. HOMESTEADERSBENEFIT BY RECENT DECISION OF SECRET TARY OF THE INTERIOR. Will Be Credited With Continuous Residence and Cultivation of Lands Occupied Under Special Permits. Denver.—A decision has recently been handed down by the secretary of the interior to the effect that persons, who have or who may hereafter apply for and make homestead entry on the national forests under the forest homestead act, will be credited at final proof for continuous residence upon and cultivation of lands occupied under special use permits, issued by the forest service, prior to actual restoration of the lands to entry. This ruling of the secretary reestablishes the original interpretation placed upon the law by ex-Secretary Garfield, but which was reversed by a decision promulgated January 1, 1910. It is the opinion of forestry officials that the new decision will materially benefit all bona fide settlers on the national forests, since it places them upon an equal footing with those making homes upon the public domain. Considerable delay is frequently encountered between the time agricultural tracts applied for are examined and can be opened to entry. In order to prevent any hardship on account of this delay it is said to have been a policy of long standing with the forest service to issue to the applicant a free special use permit authorizing him to occupy and use the land pending its restoration to entry. This permit in itself was of great advantage to the homesteader since it enabled him to improve and cultivate the land. The added benefit of being able to accelerate patent by having their time and labor credited to them at final proof will undoubtedly prove a boon to a large number of settlers seeking permanent homes on the national forests. He's 76; 24th Baby Weighs 10 Lba. Sterling—C. C. Copley, a farmer living twenty miles northeast of Sterling, was in the city, coming ostensibly for the purpose of purchasing farm supplies, but in reality to announce to his friends that a ten-pound girl has been born to him and his wife. This is the twenty-fourth child to have been presented Copley, eight of whom were born during a former marriage and sixteen to the present union. The father is seventy-six years of age, but has the appearance of a man of not over forty-five or fifty. He came to Logan county five years ago from Ypsilanti, Mich. Of his twenty-four children, nearly all are living. Most of them are school teachers. Husband Chides, Bride Ends Life. La Junta—Mrs. John W. Dunkin, a bride of two months, committed suicide by shooting herself in the temple because her husband upbraided her for walking in the city park alone. After a few cross words the young woman picked up a revolver and killed herself instantly before her husband's eye. The couple was married in Salida in March and came to La Junta several weeks ago. Former Mayor, 77, Weds Neighbor, 65. Fort Collins.—W. B. Miner, former mayor of Fort Collins and a delegate to the Republican convention which nominated Roosevelt in 1904, and Mrs. Annie Battey, his neighbor for forty-five years, were married here. The bridegroom is 77 years old and one of the best-known men in this part of the state. The bride is 65. Boulder Cañon Bridges Carried Away. Boulder Cañon Bridges Carried Away. Boulder.—Three bridges in Boulder Cañon were carried away and the city pipe line, which supplies Boulder with drinking water, was damaged in five places for distances of from 200 to 300 feet, as the result of the overflowing of the Silver Lake dam twenty-five miles west of this city. Moose Supreme Council to Meet. Denver.—The official call for the meeting of the supreme council of the Loyal Order of Moose, to be held in Denver, June 22 to 25, has been issued. The committee to investigate locations for the national tubercular sanitarium of the order will make its report at that time. Griffiths Is Candidate For Senator. Grand Junction.—From immediate friends of Benjamin Griffith, former attorney general, it was learned that he will be a candidate for United States senator on the Costigan ticket Fire Destroys Department Store. Colorado Springs.—Merchandise valued at $65,000 was destroyed by fire and water when flames gutted the Pelta department store at Tejon and Cucharras streets. Predicts Bumper Orchard Yield. Grand Junction.—Optimism by the carload is growing on every tree in the Grand valley, and according to F. R. Davis, assistant manager of the Grand Junction Fruit Growers' Association, there will be about 3,500 cars of it marketed during the coming season. Uncle Sam also has 400 men at work digging the big ditch which will water 53,000 acres of land in the valley. Hence it is easy to understand why every man in the district is an optimist of the most pronounced type. PUT SALT ON WEEDS Pinch of It Will Kill the Troublesome Dandelion. Department of Agriculture Gives Practical Methods for Killing Dandelions and Plantains That Ruln the Appearance of Lawns. Washington.—The best way to kill individual dandelion plants is to cut off their tops and put a pinch of salt (about a thimbleful) on the surface of each exposed root. This will kill most of them. As salt, if generally applied ruins soil, the salt should be used sparingly and applied only to the root-tops of the dandelion. The United States department of agriculture has for some time been testing various poisons to discover the most efficient means of eradicating this troublesome weed from lawns, but although others have been found satisfactory, the common salt is best for general use as there is no danger accompanying its application. The department's specialists say that much effort is wasted in merely cutting off the dandelion top without applying some poison to the root that remains. The dandelion has a tap root that grows deep into the soil and cutting off the plant merely encourages the dandelion to come up in a thicker growth. The time to eradicate dandelions is in the spring before the plant has had time to form seed. The seed spreads rapidly, blown by the wind. The blossoms should be close mown before they have gone to seed and salt should then be applied to each root. A man may be very diligent in caring for his own lawn and yet have seeds blown in from neighboring lawns. This is of such importance to those desiring fine lawns, that it might be made a matter for community action. If the lawn is very full of this weed it is too tedious a process to treat each plant by the salt process. In this case two possible methods of eradication may be recommended. The first method is to thicken the stand of grass to tend to crowd out the dandelion. The grass should be put into a vigorous condition by top dressing with well-rotted manure or fertilizer in the fall, and by reseeding in thin places. The second method, advised in extreme instances, is to start all over again. Plow up the lawn first (or spade it up if the area is small). A generous amount of well-rotted manure should then be worked into the soil, but not fresh manure for that is full of weed seeds ready to germinate. In case manure is not available, commercial fertilizers may be used. Many lawn soils are in need of lime and it is often a wise plan to use it, especially if white clover is to be sown. After plowing, the land should be harrowed or raked frequently to reduce it to a good seed bed condition. This will encourage the early germination of weed seeds with the subsequent extermination of the seedlings. Thorough cultivation at this period will destroy the dandelion plants, both those that come from roots and seeds. After following either of the two plans sketched here, the lawn should be maintained in good condition by careful mowing, rolling and watering. The dandelion is not a native American plant, having been introduced from Europe several centuries ago. It was first introduced in the east and has spread westward with our emigration. The name "dandelion" is said to come from the French "Dent de Lion," which means tooth of lion and refers to the tooth-shaped edges of the leaf of the plant. The dandelion is widely used throughout Europe as a truck crop. Certain foreigners recently arrived in America have continued to use the plant as a vegetable and Italians in the neighborhood of large cities have made considerable profit by gathering and taking it to market. Another weed that injures the beauty of many lawns is the plantain, of which there are two varieties; the buckhorn, or rib grass; and the common, or broad leaf. The same methods that apply to eradicating the dandelion apply to the plantain except the method of poisoning the individual plant. Instead of cutting off the top and sprinkling the root with salt as is done in the case of the dandelion, the individual plantain may best be removed by pulling up by the root after a heavy rain when the ground is wet. The plantain does not offer a difficult problem as the roots are pulled up readily, even from clay soil, after a heavy rain. ABOLISH GUARANTY LEGEND. The legend, "Guaranteed Under the Food and Drugs Act," is held to be misleading and deceptive, and the use of a serial number on food and drugs is prohibited after May 1, 1915, by a food inspection decision signed May 5 by the secretaries of the treasury, agriculture and commerce. The taking effect of the new regulation is postponed until May 1, 1915, in order to give manufacturers an opportunity to use up their present stocks of labels. After May 1, 1915, guaranties of compliance with the law should be given by manufacturers directly to dealers, and should be incorporated in the invoice or bill of sale specifying the goods covered. This guaranty should not appear on the label or package of the product The reasons for the action of the three secretaries, as given in the decision, are as follows: Do You Know That— "It having been determined that the legends 'Guaranteed Under the Food and Drugs Act, June 30, 1906,' and 'Guaranteed by (name of guarantor) under the Food and Drugs Act, June 30, 1906,' borne on the labels or packages of food and drugs, accompanied by serial numbers and given by the secretary of agriculture, are each misleading and deceptive, in that the public is induced by such legends and serial numbers to believe that the articles to which they relate have been examined and approved by the government and the government guarantees that they comply with the law, the use of either legend, or any shillar legend, on labels or packages should be discontinued. "Inasmuch as the acceptance by the secretary of agriculture for filing of the guarantee of manufacturers and dealers and the giving by him of serial numbers thereto contribute to the deceptive character of legends on labels and packages, no guaranty in any form shall hereafter be filed with and no serial number shall hereafter be given to any guaranty by the secretary of agriculture. All guaranties now on file with the secretary of agriculture shall be stricken from the files, and the serial numbers assigned to such guaranties shall be canceled." IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF CORN IS WORLD CEREAL. Of all the great cereals, corn or Indian maize, the last of them all to be discovered, is now grown over a greater extent of the earth's surface than any other grain with the single exception of wheat, and the manifold uses made of grain, stalk, pith, leaves and cob have won for it the fame of being America's most valuable contribution to agriculture. The corn acreage of the world is today in excess of 170,000,000 acres, and of this more than one hundred and thirty million are in North and South America, and of this 130,000,000 about one hundred and five million acres are in the United States. In Mexico when they get a chance they plant about thirteen million acres, in the Argentine republic about ten million acres, and the remaining 2,000,000 acres is divided between Canada, Uruguay and Chile.

The much-written-about woman with the birdcage is still in our midst. Uncle Sam has recently gathered some statistics which show that the traffic in song birds of foreign birth was never before as large as it is today. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction Canaries are imported in large numbers. The number coming in during 1913 was 392,422, as compared with 325,285 in 1908, which shows a steady increase. Partridges also are imported in considerable numbers. In 1909 the number was 29,895, in 1911 it was 39,981, and in 1913, it was 10,283. The importations of pheasants will average about 9,000 a year, of quail 3,500 a year, and of other game birds about 4,000 a year. The canaries on their arrival at the seaport cities, are distributed throughout the country. The demand for them is surprisingly steady year after year. While there is a good deal of fluctuation in the importations of quail, partridges, pheasants, etc., there is none in the importations of canaries, as the figures for the six years from 1098 to 1913, will show: 1908, 325,286; 1909, 388,266; 1910, 361,654; 1911, 354,858; 1912, 362,804; 1918, 382, 422. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver AT REASONABLE COST. It cost the civil service commission, or rather the government, just $2 per office for the examination of applicants for fourth-class postmasterships, it is declared at the commission's offices. That the amount was as low as this is declared to be something to be proud of, when there is taken into consideration the fact that many of the offices were in isolated parts of the country, away from railroads, which it was difficult for the examiners to reach. The first estimate of the cost was $4 per office. Even at this low figure it has been necessary for the commission to ask congress for a deficiency appropriation of $10,000. The original appropriation was $39,000. There were 21,000 offices to be looked after, which made it necessary to examine several times that many applicants.

Denver, Colorado PHONES: MAIN 2274 & 2275 Denver, Colorado THE SEA LIFE Modish Gown for Sweet Sixteen A THE children must be taught to swim, as they must be taught to breathe fresh air or to read and write. Swimming is not a negligible part of their training, and they take to water like little ducks. The three suits shown in the illustration are suited to girls of all sizes. That on the nearly grown miss at the center might be made for a youthful but grown-up woman. But these models are for children and young girls. The tiny miss at the left has on a simple and sensible garment, which is a yoke to which a bifurcated skirt is plaited. The skirt is bifurcated at the middle, forming bloomers that are drawn into the legs about the knee with elastic cord. The garment is cut long enough so that the bloomers fall over the knees. There is a white collar and four-in-hand tie, and the short sleeves are finished with bands of white. The shoulders are very long, and the sleeves reach a little below the elbow. Mohair is about the best material for these suits, because it sheds the water readily and is very durable. No matter how wet it becomes it does Modish Gown for REFINEMENT marks this quiet and pretty gown that has been designed for the young miss from sixteen to twenty. It is of chiffon tafeta in ciel blue, made up with net in the same color, decorated with white embroidery. It is a party gown, and the underskirt, although hanging in to the figure, is full enough for dancing. The underskirt is of chiffon or of the thinnest of silks or silk muslin. These materials allow of considerable fullness without being bulky. Accordion plaited silk muslin under-petticoats achieve the same favorable points for dancing gowns, but when lace or net flounces are to be gathered on to the petticoat, the fullness is made by gathering the silk. Two flouces of the embroidered net are set on to the petticoat of silk muslin. There is an overskirt of chiffon taf- --- not stick to the limbs and it dries out very quickly. The little half-grown girl of eight has on a two-piece suit trimmed with bands of braid. There is an all-in-one underbodice and bloomers and an outer frock with broad sailor collar and very short sleeves. For lanky little, fast-growing bodies, inclined to spindling thinness, this is a fine model. The older sister is more smartly dressed in a suit of silk with plain sailor waist and shaped skirt trimmed with silk braid. There is a broad sailor collar of the silk trimmed with silk buttons and simulated buttonholes of silk cord. A pair of short close-fitting pants are worn with this suit, and the skirt is slightly weighted. The very clever caps hardly need description. Those of the little girls are made of rubberized cloth, and that of the older girl of waterproofed silk. This last is a wonderfully clever model made of an oblong strip of goods folded into shape and machine stitched. It shades the eyes and manages to be becoming, which is greatly to the credit of the designer. r Sweet Sixteen feta in blue, fitted in to the figure by gatherings at the waist line. It is caught up in plats at the back and at the middle of the front. There is a plain, wide, looped-up sash of the taffeta at the back, and the lower part of the drapery is cut away at the left side and hemmed into a sash end terminating in a point. This is drawn through a silk-covered buckle which serves a double purpose. It makes a pretty finish and weights the overskirt or draped tunic. There is an underbodice of silk muslin with overdrape of the taffeta and sleeves of the embroidered net. The round neck is finished with a frill of soft fine lace across the front and a row of tiny buttons in black, tipped with the smallest of rhinestone settings.
