Railroad Fined $500 in Kentucky Court because Jim Crow Law, Requiring Equal Service, Was Violated. VOL. XX. L. & N. F. Discrim Failed to Provide Equal Accommod Passengers. White Jury Sat in in Kentucky Court because Equal Service, Hopkinsville, Ky, June 23. It took the jury in the case against the Louisville and Nashville Railroad for failure to furnish proper accommodations for its colored passengers just fifteen minutes on Wednesday, June 17, to return a verdict of guilty against that corporation and assess against it a fine of $500. The jury was composed entirely of white men, largely farmers, upon whom strenuous pressure was applied by the counsel for the railroad in their arguments that the Negroes were using this case as an entering wedge to secure social equality between the races, and all authorities agree that the verdict is the greatest victory achieved by the colored people of the South in defense of their rights in forty years. The railroads contested every inch of the ground, bringing into action some of the best legal talent in the State to defend them from the indictment, and these lawyers went to extremes in appealing to the prejudices of the jury, but their efforts were without avail. The best element of the white people, including nearly every business man in Hopkinsville and the leading farmers in the country surrounding, gave their moral and active support to the movement, which was inaugurated by Phil H. Brown, editor of The Saturday News, formerly assistant director of publicity at the Republican National Committee, and Judge John Feland, for some time judge of one of the Kentucky circuit districts. The case had the support of all of the colored people of Christian County. Personal appeals were made by Judge Feland and Mr. Brown to the management of the railroads and to the State Railroad Commission, but no results accrued. At the last term of Christian County Circuit Court the matter was brought to the attention of Commonwealth Attorney Denny P. Smith, who directed the grand jury to make an investigation, which resulted in the indictment of the L. & N. Railroad Company in six counts, the I. C. in two counts and the T. C. in three. There is little doubt that the verdict against the L. & N. will be sustained by the Court of Appeals, to which it can be carried. The law directing that the accommodations provided for the colored passengers shall be equal in every respect to those set apart for the white people is so specific that the best legal authorities in Kentucky have given it as their opinion that the verdict will stand Equal accommodations is the saving clause of the Jim Crow laws in all of the Southern States the Supreme Court of the United States having validated these laws upon that clause alone, holding that so long as a Negro received accommodations equal to that given by the white people in the matter of coaches and other convictions that there existed no discrimination. That the railroads in the South have utterly ignored this provision of the law is notorious, and this decisious, will have a far reaching effect, at least to the extent of securing better accommodation, if not the equal as standardized by those enjoyed by the white people. As was brought out in the trial here, few of the railroads in the South afford separate toilet rooms for/men and women in the Jim Crow cars, both sexes being forced to use the toilets in common. Since the indications have been returned in the local court, one of the railroads has established on one train conditions that approached equal accommodations, securing a new car with smoking compartment and separate toilet rooms, and assurances are given that the work of improving the service, for the colored people will be pressed forward, but the prosecution disrupts this apparent disposition to do belated justice to the colored people and will press the prosecution to the end. The pleasant feature of the fight here is that as many white people are engaged in the action to secure epual accommodations for colored people as Negroes, a number of them appearing as witnesses for the prosecution of the railroad. Too much credit cannot be given Commonwealth Attorney Denny P. Smith for the brilliant fight he has made and is making to secure the rights of the colored people. He has allowed no matter of opposing sentiment to deter him from pressing the matter to its final consumption. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, JULY 4, 1914 State Hst & Nat Hst Boosts State Hst House GIANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO TWO NOTABLE OPERATIONS (From Nashville Globe) Within the past four weeks there have been performed at Hubbard Hospital two rare surgical operations. The operator Dr. Stewart, head surgeon of the hospital reports that in all his practice extending over more than 25 years these are the only ones of this nature that have come under his observation. And strange to say these two cases almost exactly alike came to the hospital within the same month. The first patient was Mr. Richard Roper of the East Side seemed to be dying from galloping consumption following an attack of pneumonia. At Hubbard hospital a careful examination revealed the fact his left chest was filled with some substance—probably water or pus. On the operating table, under a general anesthetic, a part of his 6th left rib was removed and over a gallon of fetia pus escaped from the plural cavity. His consumption symptoms disappeared as if by magic and in two weeks he left the hospital for his home where his convalescence has been prompt and perfect. The second patient, Mr. Peyton Granberry of Mt. Pleasant was shot through the right chest between the 3rd and 4th ribs about four weeks before he entered the hospital. His right chest was full of blood and pus and at this operation a portion of the 7th rib was removed and about $3\frac{1}{2}$ quarts of decomposed blood and pus and debris were allowed to escape. His convalescence was also prompt and uneventful and he left the hospital for his home. These two cases are examples of the kind of surgery that is being done almost daily by some member of the surgical staff of Hubbard Hospital. SAN ANTONIO TEXAS NOTES Miss M. L. Moses and Mr. Olan Brooks were quietly married Wednesday evening of last week at the home of the bride's parents on Noland street. They left for San Francisco, where they will make their future home. Both are members of the "younger set" and have a host of friends who wish them a safe voyage on the matrimonial sea. Mrs. Susie Gafford left Thursday for Cuero, on account of ill-health. A speedy recovery is hoped for by her many friends. Mrs. Polly Adams, one of S. A's pioneer citizens, died on the 28th ult. She was for many years sexton of the Second Baptist Church. A host of friends are left to mourn her loss. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Woods --- who have been spending a few days in the city left Tuesday for their home in Bisbee, Ariz. H. Sinclair left Monday for his home in Galveston, after spending a few days in the city the guest of his sisters. Mrs. Clara Smith contemplates a trip to Lockhart, to be at the bed-side of her husband who has been quite ill. The annual Baptist convened at Seguine Wednesday with Rev. I. H. Kelley as moderator. A large number of delegates and visitors from this city are in attendance and a very successful session is looked for. COLORED MAN'S HEART WAS ON WRONG SIDE Washington, June 24.—With all his organs transformed—his heart being on his right side, the liver and appendix on the left and the large end of the stomach on right—the case of Thomas Murdock, a Negro laborer who was killed in a fall from a building here, was the subject of comment in medical circles today. An autopsy revealed this curious anatomical phenomenon, which is without precedent in the district coroner's office. The body of the Negro was otherwise normal and well developed. Seemingly he had enjoyed good health. ROMAN CATHOLICISM AND THE NEGRO The sixth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colorado People was held in Baltimore, May 35. The Rev. Stephen L. Theobald, pastor of the Chuch of St. Peter Chaver in St. Paul, represented the Catholic Church. He is the sixth of the Negro race to be elevated to the priesthood. The work of this Church is growing slowly but steadily among the colored people, and churches built for the exclusive use of this race are being erected in many cities. There are 168 Catholic priest engaged in the work of evangelization; there are 102 churches, 150 schools with 14,144 pupils, and twenty-three institutions of various sorts with 2,228 inmates. Washington, D. C. June 22. According to a decision handed down by the Supreme Court slaves have no inheritance blood and therefore cannot inherit property under the ordinary rules of kinship. This case came from the Supreme Court of Tennessee whose decision was thereby sustained. Strange Woman. "Was it a quiet wedding?" "Decidedly! Both the bride and the groom were so scared they could hardly speak above a whisper." RACE NEWS Washington, D.C. June 24. The Supreme Court of the United States adjourned Monday, June 22, until October, leaving fourteen cases, in which arguments had been made, undecided. Among the decisions withheld are the cases involving the constitutionality of the grandfather clauses limiting the rights of Negroes to vote in Oklahoma and Annapolis, Md. Wilberforce, Ohio, June 23.—It is reported that at the meeting of the board of trustees of Wilberforce University, held here recently, Bishop Chappelle, in language unfit to print, insulted Miss Hallie Q. Brown, the well known reader and teacher. Though more than one hundred men were present, Bishop Coppin was the only one who attempted to call the angry bishop to task. Coppin, in the strongest language that self-respect would permit him to use, is said to have severely denounced his brother prelate for the ungallant and ungentlemanly treatment accorded a defenseless woman. Bishop Chapelle refused to apologize to Miss Brown Birmingham, Ala., June 26. The action of the Republican state executive committee at Birmingham Wednesday, June 3, which eliminated the Negro from participation in the state convention to be held July 22, means that seventeen counties in the state will have no representation in the convention. It is believed that the action was taken to smooth the way for an alliance of the old-line Republicans with the Progressives and the disgruntled Democrats. Major P. D. Barker, national committeemen, and a few white Republicans, protested against the action, but absence of the Negro committeemen of the First District C. W. Allen and Frank Tree, from the meeting made the white men reason that it was useless to fight for people whose own representation were not sufficiently interested to be present. The vote on the resolution eliminating the Negro was carried by a majority of seven, the poll resulting 22 to 15, but if the Negro committeemen had been present it is thought the vote could easily have been changed. There will be no Negro in the convention but it is believed that this action will ultimately fail of accomplishing the purpose intended. National Committeeman Barker called attention to the fact that if the national committee had NO 45 acted on the same idea in reducing southern representation, Alabama would have had only one delegate to represent the whole state at the next national convention. Honorable B. J. Davis, the fearless editor of the Atlanta Independent, in the last two issues of that paper makes some very serious charges against the colored ministry, which is true, threaten the race with indeed a direful catastrophe. He claims that the Negro pulpit is in a state of moral and intellectual decadence;" that the Negro preachers are ignorant and dishonest; that their standard of success is no longer set for the moral spiritual intellectual and general good of the people, but how much money they can raise; that instead of Christ-like men with a gospel message of helpfulness to the people, we have a graft-ridden set of men bent on greed, averice and sacrificing everything for the dollar. The young people are leaving the churches and seeking places of amusement because the sermons are empty and common-place. Rev. Dr. Miller, representative of the John C. Martin movement, lecturing to a body of colored ministers said: "There is no Roman Catholic priest who wields a greater influence over his congregation than the Negro preacher is in position to wield." Notwithstanding there are many exceptions to those shameful charges, the Atlanta editor contends that the majority of them are guilty. Mr. Davis is not the only observer who makes this charge upon the colored ministry we are sorry to say, and whether or not these charges are true, too much emphesis cannot be placed upon the fact that there is room for great improvement on the part of the Negro ministers. If the charges are true, the ministers who are innocent and are conscientiously discharging their duties should lead a crusade against such practices in their ranks. If not, it is up to all of them to remove the cause that leads people to think they are true. If people believe a thing is true, the effect upon them is almost the same that it would be if it were true. Wanted—An Occupation. There are two reasons why some people don't mind their own business. One is that they haven't any mind, the other that they haven't any business.—Harvard Lampoon.

DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE Construction work on the athletic field of the Panama-Pacific exposition has been started. The Intermountain Good Roads Association convention will be held at Butte, Mont., July 21-23. In a battle for life with a polar bear, Henry P. Zimmerman, zoo attendant in St. Louis, finally tore his right foot from the animal's teeth and fainted just out of reach. One man was killed, another perhaps fatally hurt and eleven persons more or less dangerously injured when a Lake Shore interurban car jumped the rails near Lorain, Ohio. A decree of divorce in favor of Mrs. Ernestine Schumann-Heink, wife of William Rapp of New York, was entered by Judge Denis E. Sullivan in the Superior Court at Chicago. Despite the intense heat fifty thousand men and boys assembled and marched in the parade of the Industrial Sunday School Association, the convention of which is in progress in Chicago. Lassen peak, near Red Bluff, Cal., exploded Tuesday in its eleventh eruption since May 30, with a dense column of black smoke that shot up thousands of feet and then drifted slowly northward. Aft conference at Niagara Falls between Ambassador Da Gama of Brazil and Ministers Naon and Suarez, it was announced that the mediation board would formally recess until such time as the Constitutionalist delegates and Huerta representatives could confer informally on Mexico's internal problems. Gov. John K. Tenner of Pennsylvania sent a telegram from the executive offices in Harrisburg to a temporary station on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco and thus inaugurated ground-breaking exercises for the Pennsylvania state building in which exposition officials hope to see housed the Liberty bell. WASHINGTON. Surgeon General Blue of the public health service will go to New Orleans to take charge of the campaign against bubonic plague. President Wilson has promised to fill all positions under the federal government now held by negroes with other negroes in case of changes. House leaders are said to have about agreed not to force a vote at this session on the Hobson resolution to amend the federal constitution so as to provide a nation-wide prohibition. President Wilson signed the naval appropriation bill providing for the construction of three additional dreadnaughts for the United States navy and permitting the sale of the battle-ships Mississippi and Idaho to Greece. President Wilson will take no action in the strike situation at Butte, Mont., pending further developments. Federal troops will not be moved for the present from Vancouver barracks to Fort Missoula to be in readiness in case of trouble. The United States Supreme Court adjourned until October, after deciding forty or more important cases, chief among which were the intermountain rate case, the California oil land grant case, the Eastern states retail lumber dealers' suit, and several others which have held the attention of the country for many months. The Court of Claims has adjourned for the summer after clearing the docket of all cases ready for argument. During the term 7,830 cases were disposed of. Of these, 6,848 were dismissed on the government's motion because of the failure to prosecute on the part of the claimants. The remaining 982 were contested cases. Secretary Wilson announced that he had referred to the solicitor of the labor department for investigation and report charges of unbecoming conduct and neglect of duty pending against Frank H. Ainsworth, immigration inspector stationed at San Francisco, with counter charges filed by Ainsworth against other officials of the service. Funeral services of Dr. Pedra Ezequiel Rojas, Venezuelan minister, who died at Atlantic City, were held in Washington. President Wilson, members of the Cabinet, justices of the Supreme court and practically the entire diplomatic corps attended. Miss Lucy J. Price, a prominent campaign speaker against woman suffrage, issued a statement charging not only that equal suffrage did not effect an increase in "dry" territory, but that in some states, at least, there was an alliance between the female suffragists and the whisky interests. FOREIGN. The 1,016 passengers on board the Anchor liner California, which went ashore on Tory island during a dense fog were successfully transferred to the Donaldson liner Cassandra and a small coasting steamer without loss of life. Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign secretary, in a speech in the House of Commons in London highly complimented President Wilson and the motives underlying his action in pressing the repeal of the Panama canal tolls exemption bill. In well informed circles it is reported that Gen. Angel Garcia Pena, who was minister of war in the Madera administration, but is now one of Huerta's commanders, is to be a candidate for the presidency of the republic in the elections to be held in that part of the country controlled by the government. The news of the death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and the duchess of Hohenberg was broken to their children. The orphans broke down and their aunt, Countess Chotek, fainted. The Tagblatt says the late archduke's life was insured with Dutch companies for $12,000,000 and that of his wife for $6,000,000. Outlined in the glare of tragedy once more at the age of eighty-four, Franz Josef, emperor of Austria-Hungary, stands out as the most interesting figure in Europe. Assassination of the Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his morganatic wife, the duchess of Hohenberg, at Sarajevo, Bosnia, was the fourth time death—either by suicide, assassinaton or military execution—has struck at his heart. But the old man was calm. Beloved by his people with a love which has at times held Europe from desperate war, the seared heart of the octogenarian ruler held strength enough to sustain still another blow. SPORT.

It will take two special trains of fifteen cars each to carry those at Overland park who are going to Vancouver from Denver. This will be the largest shipment of horses out of Denver in years. Butte is getting its share of runners. The public did not have much luck picking the winners of Tuesdays events at Overland park in Denver. Tahoe and Phil Mohr were the winning first choices to get down to the stand. Rose Ring was heavily played to win the closing event, but was not good enough to turn the trick. The courts have authorized an attachment against "Jack" Johnson, the heavyweight champion pugilist, on claims by two creditors for sums of $3,500 and $11,120 respectively, provided no appeal is entered within a fortnight. The alleged creditors claim that they were to receive these amounts out of the stake won by Johnson in the fight in Paris. Seneca showed his true class Tuesday at Overland park, in Denver, by wining the fourth race, a sprint for three-year-olds and upwards. Behind him was Cleopat, The Busybody and Hardy, all good ones at any distance, Seneca won easily. The time for the distance was 1:12 4-5, which is one-fifth of a second slower than the track record. If Seneca had been pushed he would have set a new track record. GENERAL Ex-President Roosevelt delivered a political speech in Pittsburg, and assailed the Wilson administration and Senator Penrose. Nick Altrock, one of the pitchers of the Washington American baseball club, and Miss Eleanore Campbell of Keswick, Iowa, were married at Baltimore. The special delegates of the Sons of the American Revolution who are journeying from Philadelphia to Cambridge over the route taken by General George Washington in 1775, left New York for Hartford. Mrs. L. E. Rockwell of Quincy, Ill., who is eighty-three years old, raised the governor's flag of her state on the grounds of the Panama-Pacific exposition at San Francisco, to celebrate ground breaking for the state building. While the figures in the 1913 report of the Court of Special Sessions indicate an increase in crime in New York city of forty-five per cent over 1912, Frank W. Smith, chief clerk, sounds a different note, especially as the report has to do with children. The biggest mercantile failure in the history of the United States was precipitated in New York when receivers were appointed for H. B. Claflin Company.

Billy Sunday, evangelist, will not permit his name or his services to be used as capital by the Anti-Saloon League or the Prohibition party in their campaign for state-wide prohibition in Colorado this fall. Billy Sunday made his position in this matter plain in Colorado Springs. One of the successful leases in the Idaho Springs section is the Coe lease on the Gem.

Reckor, Colorado City Woman, Who Deserted Boy on Honeymoon, Faces Charges. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Colorado Springs.—That she abandoned her ten-year-old son, leaving him to die unattended except by the sisters of St. Francis hospital while he sobbed for his mother's presence, is the charge lodged against Mrs. Charles Reckor of Colorado City. The mother and her husband, whom she married three weeks ago in Canon City, were arrested by the district attorney's office on charges of child abandonment, breaking quarantine and failure to observe health laws. Several days ago an unknown boy died at St. Francis hospital. He had been brought to the institution three days before by a couple who gave the names of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Meyers and said they lived on a ranch near Calhan. Although the boy was in a critical condition when left at the hospital, the couple immediately left. No inquiry was made to the sisters regarding his condition during the three days that intervened until his death. For twenty-four hours Coroner Lawrence Beyle held the body in an effort to locate the couple or learn something of the boy's identity. Wide publicity was given the case, but not until Monday did a clew develop that put the officers on the trail of the boy's parents. Extra Troops for Walsenburg. Walsenburg, Colo., June 30.—Persistent rumors have been widely circulated throughout the coal strike zone intimating that hostilities will be renewed between mine guards and strikers under cover of a general celebration of the Fourth of July.

THE HARRIS' CASE The platform of one of our Denver papers for "Law and Order," but above all, "Law and Order and Justice," is indorsed by us in the cases of Robert Harris and Joseph Harris, son and father, who were convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to execution and life imprisonment, respectively, when Robert Harris shot and killed two policemen at Rocky Ford on July 4, 1911, in defense of his home. The Supreme Court granted a new trial, which was heard at La Junta, June 27th, and resulted in an acquital of Robert Harris. Attorney Lyman Henry of Pueblo made a stirring appeal to the jury, which occupied three hours, when the district attorney replied for an hour and a half and asked for a verdict of murder in the first degree. Both father and son were incarcerated in prison for three years, and now that the son is acquitted we sincerely hope justice will have its course and set at liberty this 85-year-old man, who was only brought in as he was one of the occupants of the house at the occurrence. A great lesson is taught us by this case, which is that true-hearted, whole-hearted Republicans like Attorney Lyman Henry will stand by us through thick and thin for righteous causes and finally prove to this government our rights as American citizens to have justice given us as any other citizen. "Give us justice" is our constant plea. JACK JOHNSON RETAINS TITLE. John Arthur Johnson, popularly known as Jack Johnson, gave another proof (and this for the fourth time) of his meritorious title, HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, when he fought twenty rounds last Saturday at the Velodrome, Paris, France, with Frank Moran and whipped him in a style and manner peculiar to Jack. With the various nicknames given Johnson by our sporting editors of the newspapers of Denver owned by the whites, this impression is established—that those names are not in the order of sportive familiarity, but dire contempt, which has its birth in PREJUDICE and exhibits the average white American to the thinking public of other nations as a selfish character whose NARROWNESS is boundless. In spite of this and other trials and struggles which the champion has undergone in his climbing the ladder of fame, he has shown himself a man of very wonderful mental resources, well-balanced and an activity of unusual feature, and although abused by many for what is termed his disobedience to the speed laws, also the daring interference with his domestic affairs, yet we find him acting calmly and coolly in his preparation for his bouts and in his contests he generally gives his opponents a chance to try again. It is regrettable that on account of persecutions from a prejudiced people, Johnson has had to leave his native land and find a home in France, as is stated, but we hope and trust that he will ever be the possessor of that mind, that grit, that stamina which characterize him and places his name among that class of Negroes who will not compromise a principle or lay down for greed of gain. The Colorado Statesman offers its congratulations to Mr. Johnson in this recent addition to his fame, and not only admires him for the retaining of the world's championship, but emphatically asserts that he is the greatest living exponent of the art of boxing, and would be glad to see him retire the UN-BEATEN CHAMPION before Father Time sets in on him. Brave Jack! INDEPENDENCE DAY All nations set apart some day or date for thanksgiving, rejoicing and gratitude over some important event that won them liberty from "the powers that be," and brought them to a recognition universal in form resulting in their being equal if not superior to their rulers, and for this reason we celebrate the Fourth of July, in accordance with what has been handed down, as a fitting tribute to the time and event when this country resolved to have her own government no longer submitting to British rule. It is not necessary to repeat herein the detailed reasons for the War of the Revolution as all Americans have been more or less familiarized with same whether practically or theoretically; but in a sentence we may say, the war was the result of TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION Here's a lesson for us to learn and inwardly digest, that though we are living in practically a peaceful age in comparison with former times, yet barbarism and crime are evidenced every day in the country of which we form a part, and, unfortunately for us, we are the victims of the same unfair actions that made this nation get away from the national oppression which she was undergoing when she was a colonial possession of Britain. It is not our policy to take up arms against our flag, as we would possibly be engaged in something similar to the siege of Jerusalem, when the Romans succeeded in their invasion on account of the internal warfare among the Jews, but in an intelligent, reasonable, logical and persistent manner we can urge, agitate, persevere, represent and cause to cease, existing conditions that are detrimental to us, and bring about a real transformation meaning wealth, peace and happiness to all. When the time comes that fellow white American will admit and entertain in national fellowship his fellow black American, both entertaining in the superlative, we are members of the same union, citizens of the same country, lovers, adorers and admirers of the same flag, then will we have a heart to heart celebration of not a mocked but a real Independence Day, when earth will sound and resound with the joys thereof and heaven will join in the reflection of some. In celebrating today be sane, sober and cautious in your engagements and participations in the fun and frolic; and view the future, if possible, with the thought of a grander celebration when our land shall be "the home of the brave and the free and the sweet land of liberty." What influence has music had on human progress? Perhaps only as medicine has helped human progress, for music has been a remarkable specific in certain cases. Unlike a medical spe- Music Lightens Labor and Awakens Patriotism By LOUIS C. ELSON, Boston, Mass. cific music has worked beneficially in many diverse cases. Pythagoras used to employ music at the beginning of the day to fortify himself for the labors to come, and at the end of the day to soothe his mind after those labors. In defensive wars music has been a direct stimulant to deeds of daring. When the German writer, Klopstock, was introduced to Rouget de L'Isle, the author and composer of the "Marseillaise," he refused to shake hands with him and exclaimed, "Monsieur! Your music has killed 50,000 Germans!" In such a case a Frenchman might be pardoned for thinking that music had helped human progress. Dibdin's sailor songs were said to have been worth 10,000 seamen to the cause of England (this in offensive wars), so thoroughly did they awaken the pride of the British mariners. Dibdin received a pension from the English government and certainly deserved it. Music is a direct aid in certain kinds of labor, and this is certainly a material and definite example of a practical advantage in the art. The sailor gives the most universal example of this, for he has often pulled the ropes in rhythmic swing with the tones of the "Shanty." This direct aid to labor is not only employed by American sailors, but by the seamen of every nation. There are French "shanty-songs" and Russian and Spanish; yes, even Chinese. In the Mahogany forests of Honduras, when they drag the heavy logs to the seacoast, at the head of the tugging crowd there marches the singer, warbling his rhythmic melody and uniting the efforts of the men. On the southern levees, say at Mobile or New Orleans, one often heard a similar song as the cotton bales were pulled and hauled—and whatever aids labor certainly aids human progress. Summing up, I would say that since music has always been used in awakening patriotism, stimulating courage, lightening labor, it certainly has been an aid to human progress, even though it would be difficult to cite specific instances. Ask the average person where he got his cold and he will say that he must have sat in a draft or got his feet wet. If you suggest that he got his cold at the table he will consider such a state- Catching Cold Is House- Cleaning Operation By ALEXANDER LANE, New York A cold in foreign countries is usually called a fever, which is the correct term, as the ordinary cold is a mild form of fever caused by nature in her efforts to cast out impurities. The impetus to this healing operation is usually supplied by an extra amount of cold air. A cold is to be welcomed and not to be suppressed, as these impurities if retained in the system would poison every part of the body. Catching cold is a lifesaving process—a house-cleaning operation—on the part of nature. It shows that the body has become so clogged with impurities that it rebels and attempts to get rid of the filth. The impurities thrown off in the cleaning process are the surplus accumulated filth which must be eliminated before it decays and poisons the whole system. Any discharge from any part of the body relates to matter which nature cannot use. When there is no surplus matter in the system a cold is an impossibility. How did this filth or surplus matter get into the body? There is one way, and that is through the mouth. Those who do not eat more than is necessary for the growth and repair of the body never have colds or catarrh and very seldom any other form of sickness. About ninety per cent of all diseases come from overeating, which causes more deaths than alcohol and war combined. United States Lagging Behind in Aviation By H. A. VELLCHEN, New York It is sad for the American to contemplate, particularly the American traveling abroad, the lack of progress in world-wide movements of the American na United States Lagging Behind in Aviation BY H. A. VELLCHEN, New York birthplace of the aeroplane, the conqueror of the air, and yet we are far behind the march of progress in aviation. Germany is setting a hard pace in airship development, as Mr. Churchill recently pointed out in a speech in the house of commons. The British program is modest in comparison with what is being done in France and Germany, and the United States is not to be mentioned when it comes to reciting the accomplishments of the war divisions of the European nations. The German chancellor not long ago made the claim that Germany possesses superior airships to those of any other power, and the British had to admit that the claim was correct. Germany has shown that no airship dare take the field that cannot defend itself against aeroplane attacks by means of guns on the top of its gas container. The British navy has recently taken over the aeroplane airship department of the national defense from the army. Great Britain has ordered eight airships to cost approximately $2,500,000, the cost of each ship varying in price from $100,000 to $250,000. Germany has 17 first-class rigid airships and two others on the point of being delivered. The "first-class" airships are those capable of a speed of 45 miles an hour or more. What have we to show in the way of an airship or aeroplane fleet? Not long ago a clever essayist attempted to prove that "the plain man" is a myth. He who humbly speaks of himself as a plain man does not expect you to take him literally; he wants Poor "Plain Man" Described as Myth By J. JOHN KELLEY, Pittsburgh, Pa. Not long ago a clever essayist attempted to prove that "the plain man" is a myth. He who humbly speaks of himself as a plain man does not expect you to take him literally; he wants you to protest by word or manner and intimate that he is decidedly superior in at least one way. The all-round plain man is a literary invention, like the "economic man" of the classical scholar, according to the essayist. But John Galsworthy evidently believes that the plain man is always with us, and that he is a poor creature from every point of view. Galsworthy has drawn his portrait with merciless irony. The plain man is dull, ignorant, parrot-like in his cant phrases about art, society, morals and the higher life. There is no beauty or genuine emotion in him; all progress takes place in spite of him. He is absurd without knowing it, and the superior man must try to forget his very existence. Now some are coming to the defense of the plain man by reciting his modest virtues and pleading his lack of opportunity. The plain man does the work of the world; he toils and pays the freight; he serves and supports the institutions we call civilization. Why rail at him?

"We'll have to hurry up and get ready or it will be a case of taking the other fellow's dust all the way into town," he called enthusiastically as he stopped at the bench outside to wash. The girl kept mechanically at the pans on the stove. "It's going to be a great day for the 'Fourth,'" he continued. "There ain't a cloud in the sky." He came in whistling to stop short at the look on his wife's face. "I guess I won't go, if you don't mind," she said with an effort, her face white and her eyes meeting his as she turned around, staring in frightened fashion. "It's going to be so hot and—besides I've been to so many Fourth of July celebrations." He waited until she had placed the dish on the table, the anticipation gone out of his being—an embittering suspicion creeping in AMES "Not going!" he echoed. "And I've been counting on it ever since the Clarion said Hampton was going to celebrate this year —counting on both of us going in together. It's the first time since we got married that we've any- where together." Instead of responding she sought refuge at the window. The stuffy midsummer morning seemed to be lending an atmospheric depression in keeping with her spirits. The sickening sun was fairly blazing against the side of the big, red barn, the shadows from the row of willows seemed half-hearted in their effort to relieve the sizzling landscape, and the fan at the top of the tall windmill was motionless. He crossed to where she stood and put a sunburnt hand on her shoulder. "You've got to tell me," he said evenly. "I've never paid-much attention to this neighborhood gossip, but is it true—are you ashamed to go to town with me?" When she still refused to answer a hardness came into his voice as he went on. "I was all right to take you home on Friday nights when you came out here to teach school. I was all right to build your fires on cold, winter mornings. My father's farm that he left me here was all right. It was the farm, was it, and the fact that you were tired of teaching school that you gave in to marry me? You were tired of the small pay, and the foreign kid, and the trouble with the directors. That was why you married me, was it? Other folks have been saying these things. I'm beginning to believe them now." With a sob she turned until she was in his arms. "No! No!" she hysterically defended. "Then you'll go," he concluded, the tenderness coming back. "It won't be so hot with the top on the buggy." He drew himself away to get the answer, but it was not forthcoming. is not forthcoming. She was at the window again, her fingers at her lips. A It would be all right to go in her sort of way—to be onlookers rather than a part of the clownishness, but, as a girl in town, she could distinctly remember Henry coming in with a bunch of companions on such occasions. It was a different sort of man she had married—a man in keeping with the great stretches of fields and the big plans of growing things. But the thought of being dragged by him before her old friends from an ice-cream parlor to a dance hall had made her decide against going to the celebration when he had first mentioned it. "You are ashamed of me," he interrupted. "You're saying so with your actions if you won't speak. But you bet I'm not going to have my fun spoiled. I'm going anyway." When he came down from upstairs a few minutes later his overalls and big straw had been changed for a suit of ill-fitting black, a faded derby was placed low over his long crop of hair, and a handkerchief protected his celluloid collar. When men dress up but seldom the tricks come clumsily. Neither spoke during the breakfast. He ate sullenly, and she made no pretensions of an appetite. A half- PATRIOTISM It isn't the flag that floats proudest Or highest above the green earth, And it isn't the cannon that's loudest Which expresses the patriot's worth; It isn't the pomp or the shouting, And it isn't the musical blare That leaves us no reason for doubting That the future we face shall be fair. Think not that vainglorious vaunting Shall strengthen the might we possess, And it isn't by foolish flaunting That shall keep us undaunted and peerless, The wonder and hope of the world.

She knew it was his final invitation. "I'm coming," she called from the doorway with a half sob. "It won't take me but a minute." How deeply she loved him was impressed on the verge of his'really going without her. As she changed her dress hastily a sort of pang came with her woman's intuition that the skirt was too full for the change of style that had come with the new season: the white of sor, the white of her collar was contrasted with the tan in her face as she had never noticed it before. THE TRAIN That Henry did not notice, she knew full well, as she felt his admiring gaze upon her as he helped her into the buggy. As the horses swerved madly into the main road, Edith became aware of how othway to the county seat. The knee-high cornfields, robbed now of every trace of morning dew, shimmered beneath the blue sky as if, somehow, the occasion in town had affected nature itself. Among the other vehicles of a more old-fashioned sort an automobile chugged past. "We'll have one of those, too, one of these days," commented Henry as he reined the horses from their fright. "It's Sid Koffmeier and his girl. Did you notice the paint on her face?" "I was looking at the country," answered Edith, arousing herself. "I'm afraid we don't appreciate what Dakota is coming to." "I like a big day in town myself," mused Henry, cracking the whip as a signal to the horses. "I haven't missed a 'Fourth' since I was a kid. Used to get sick usually on candy and lemonade and from walking around on the plank sidewalks in a new pair of shoes. Last few years there's a gang of us go in together. Sid and I and a bunch of us have had some great times together. The dance is about the best part of it." The girl turned her gaze to the roadside vegetation—the mullein and the foxtail mixed with the buffalo grass in which the insects kept midsummer chorus. The old fear seized her. Perhaps she had made an awful mistake as her aunt and her girl friends in WORTH KEEPING IN MEMORY Things to Avoid, and Things to Do, in the Celebration of the Glorious Anniversary. Here are some good things to remember, in connection with the celebration of the Fourth: DON'T: Hold a firecracker in your hand after the fuse is lighted. If it does not explode pick it up again. Shoot off cannon crackers, revolvers, rifles or dynamite. Fire off crackers in your back yard or in the alley. Fire off torpedoes or bombs by putting them on car tracks. You'll get fined $10 if you do. Sell or give the deadly toy pistol or the equally deadly metal cap to a child. You'll get fined $100 if you do. In the course of the day you will probably overlook some of these "Don't's." Most people do. That is the reason so many are killed and maimed with the recurrence of each "Glorious Fourth." If you do overlook them and the usual result follows, here are some things to DO: If your clothes take fire, roll on the grass or envelop yourself in a blanket. grass or envelop yourself in a blanket. If your face is pitted with powder by a premature explosion have a doctor pick the grains out immediately, for if they are left undisturbed in the skin they will make you a "tattooed man" for life. If the flesh is torn by a powder wound or burned with powder keep the wound open and run for a doctor. That may save you from giving your life for your country by the unpleasant lockjaw route. In case of fire call the fire department first and AFTERWARD try to put the flames cut yourself. town had predicted—a girl of education and refined tastes marrying an uncultured "rube." Soon after their arrival in town they parted, and Edith decided she would go to her aunt's. It would be cook there and quiet, and away from the crowds and anything Henry might do before them. Aunt Jane was in her garden back of the little white house, puttering about as if there were no Fourth of July celebration. She glanced up from her cabbage and potato beds with surprise and joy at seeing her niece. "Yes, we came in this morning," hastened Edith. "Henry is downtown. We're both well. Yes, I suppose he may come down for dinner. I—I want to rest just a little while in the house." Somehow she spent the day in the darkened, old-fashioned rooms, while her aged aunt, who had cared for her since her early girlhood, fussed with the cooking and the house cleaning as her rheumatism would permit. Occasionally, as the long afternoon went by, a strain from the band downtown in the park was borne through the maples by the hot breeze, and the explosions of the firecrackers came in muffled reports. And with each hint of the celebration she found herself jerking as she wondered what part Henry was taking in it all. She could not help but picture him as going even farther with his good time as a result of their quarrel. There had been times in the past when he and members of his crowd had gotten into fights and been arrested. Evening came in the stealthy way that she had lately become accustomed to seeing it creep over the farm. Some of the country folk began going past on their way home. It caused a great lonesomeness f o r their own place — for Henry — to come over her. She began chiding herself for her sensitiveness—her foolish pride. After all, it was all she loved. She could have stood anything he could have done. P She went to the organ, but instead of her fingers touching the yellow keys, her arms dropped across them and she buried her head with a sob. Twilight without made the shadows thick in the room, yet he must have been able to make her out from the doorway, for the screen was shut noiselessly and he had her in his great, strong arms before she could look up. "Henry!" she breathed hysterically, as she struggled to get free. "You've not gone without me, and you're not hurt!" He did not speak for a time, but his presence was comforting. "No, I didn't go without you," he answered finally. "I understand it all now. I couldn't mix in on the old kind of a time. You've changed me, Edith." "Oh, I was prudish and selfish," she interrupted. "I should have trusted you." "No," he went on; "I came in with the plan of doing all the things that I used to. I found out I was changed just after I left you and joined Sid and his girl. But there was nothing to it. The dance hall was just cheap and foolish, and the thought of booze disgusted me. Between everything I saw you, somehow." She had loosed herself from his embrace and had started for her hat. "Come on, Henry," she called roguishly. "If we don't hurry up and get down town we might miss part of the 'grand display of fireworks.'" Photograph by Frank Fournier Ste What Salvation Is. Salvation is not the petty conception of personal safety from some faroff doom. It is the saving of the whole man; it is the domination of the higher nature over the lower; it is the education of the spiritual, the development, the evolution of the God to us, that divine spark in all humanity that can never be wholly extinguished.—William D. Little. VARIOUS USES FOR GELATIN Properly Plays an Important Part In the Preparation of All Kinds of Desserts. Gelatin plays an important part in many a recipe. A tasty dessert is made thus: Dissolve the contents of one envelope of granulated gelatin in one pint of boiling water; stir it to melt the powder and then pour it into a bowl, and as soon as it starts to "Jel" beat with a rotary egg-heater until it is light. Then pour in half a pint of rich, sweet milk, a pinch of salt, two ounces of crushed stale almond macaroons; if this is soft, put it on the ice until it stiffens again, then add a few drops of sweet almond flavoring and one gill of granulated sugar. Wet a mold, pour the water out of it and refill with the mixture; put it in the refrigerator to ripen. Serve with plain or whipped cream and lady fingers. With Fruit.—Fill individual glasses a little more than half with mixed fruit, fresh or canned; drain off all juice; make one pint of orange or lemon gelatin; as soon as cold put it by spoonfuls over the fruit; serve very cold, with cream and sponge cake. Prune Delight.—Wash, soak and cook in only enough water to cover them one pound of good prunes; while they cook put in a pinch of salt, two inches of stick cinnamon; grated yellow rind of an orange and one lemon; six whole cloves, one gill of strained lemon juice and one gill of brown sugar. As soon as the prunes are very soft stir in one package of granulated gelatin previously dissolved in cold water. There should be over one pint of liquid. Stir until melted. When cold serve with cream and soft gingerbread. COLD ENTREE HARD TO BEAT Mousse of Sweetbread Just the Thing for the Table When the Weather Is Hot. Line a plain mold with pale aspic jelly, dotted with diamond-shaped pieces of truffle. Blanch and braise a large sweetbread, and, when it is cold, pound it in a mortar with eight ounces of the white meat of a boiled fowl and a tablespoonful of pate de foie gras, and then pass the mixture through a fine sieve. Bring a large cupful of milk to a boil with a small chopped onion, a dozen white peppers, a blade of mace, a few thin strips of lemon peel, and a thin slice of fat bacon. Simmer twenty minutes and then strain over a tablespoonful of butter rubbed smooth in two of flour. Stir quickly until thick, season with salt and white pepper, and dissolve in half an ounce of gelatine. Pour into a basin with the sifted chicken and sweetbread and two tablespoonfuls of sherry. Whip a pint of cream, and as soon as the sweetbread mixture is cool, stir it in and add the stiffly beaten whites of two eggs. Pour the mousse at once into the molds lined with aspic, and leave it on ice to chill. Turn out on a flat platter and garnish with alternate slices of tomato and cucumber and a bunch of watercress here and there. Green Gooseberry Pudding. This may be made the same as rhubarb pudding with a suet paste, and boiled, steamed, or made in a deep pie dish with good ordinary pie pasté with a little cornstarch mixed with the sugar to thicken the juice. When the gooseberry filling is thick enough to support the mixture, lift off the crust and pour in a layer of cornstarch custard cooked in a double-boiler, the whites of the eggs reserved for a meringue to cover the top. The top crust may be served at another meal spread with canned peaches or pears. Or instead of a top crust, cover the dish with another pie dish until the gooseberries are done. Another way is to replace the top crust and return pie to the oven until the custard mixture is cooked quite firm. The pie is then served cold with upper crust, without a meringue. Chocolate Fudge. Three cupfuls of light brown sugar, two squares of chocolate, a cupful of new milk, one-half teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Cook in a granite pan until it threads; add a lump of butter the size of a walnut, and when thoroughly mixed remove from the fire, add a tablespoonful of sweet cream and a teaspoonful of vanilla and beat it it begins to thicken. Pour into shallow buttered pans and when nearly cold cut into squares. Mistress Ford's Green Currant Ple. Line a deep dish with paste. Fill with green currants and sugar in alternate layers, using at least two-thirds as much sugar as fruit. Heap the fruit up well as it shrinks in cooking, and shake over the top a tablespoonful of flour to thicken the juice. Cut slits in the top crust or prick with a fork. Bake in a moderate oven from thirty to forty-five minutes. Delicious Ple. Line a deep pie plate with a rich crust, rub crust with flour and put in a layer of dates, ten to twelve to an ordinary pie; they must be stoned and cut in pieces; then fill the plate with sliced rhubarb, three heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar mixed with one spoonful of flour; put on top crust.

In this much bemonumented land it is rather curious that no monument has yet been set up anywhere to commemorate the loyalty of the slaves that remained on the plantations during the Civil war. Of course commemoration of that sort belong to the old slave states, but citizens of the North can regard the matter with interest, if not with the same vital and personal interest that citizens of the South, may feel. Both during the war and in the half century since its termination Confederates have been warm in their expression of esteem for the faithful slaves that stayed at home while their masters went to the army, guarding faithfully the women and children whom the white men of the South had to leave at home when the call to arms came. Now the omission will probably be rectified since at the recent reunion of Confederate veterans at Jacksonville a motion was adopted recommending that such a monument be erected in the capital city of each of the former slave states. A little reflection serves to show one how richly the commemoration is deserved. Singularly beautiful and touching was the loyalty of those black people to the families of their masters. The fact that the white men dared leave their wives and children to the protection of the black men who were their slaves is in itself a tribute of which the American negro can always be proud and now monuments in the capital cities of the South will permanently recall to mind a reliance that was not misplaced.

In justice to Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard, who recently delivered an address on the negro problem in our city. I desire to reply to a letter of A. S. Edmonds in the "Public Mind" column of the Times of the twenty-second, writes H. O. Cook in a communication to the Kansas City Star. Mr. Edmonds, in comparing the views of Mr. Villard and Mr. Booker T. Washington in his Atlanta address, sees a wide difference in the opinions of these two men, and concludes that "certainly Mr. Washington knows, if anyone does, the best means of solving this problem." If Mr. Edmonds would talk with Mr. Washington today he would find that he (Mr. Washington) has made a long jump since that Atlanta address. Moreover, Mr. Edmonds, as a great many others, has the impression that the men who believe and are working with Mr. Villard are opponents of Mr. Washington's policy. These men, on the contrary, thoroughly believe in the policy of industrial education and the accumulation of property for the negro, but do not believe that these alone will secure all those rights and privileges that are justly due him as an American citizen. Mr. Villard, with thousands of others in this country, feels that the negro needs not only this education and material wealth, of which he is securing more and more every year, but that he deserves justice in our courts, equal opportunities in civic and political life and the privileges of enjoying the best in a country which he has helped to build and protect.

BOARD ENDS ITS WORK AMBASSADOR DE GAMA OF BRAZIL DECLARES CONFERENCE HAS AVERTED WAR. MASSACRE THREATENED "BEFORE I RESIGN HALF PEOPLE IN MEXICO CITY DIE!" SAYS DICTATOR HUERTA. Vera Cruz.—"Before I resign half the people of Mexico City will die with me!" is the remark President Victoriano Huerta is credited with having made to friends while sitting in a Mexico City caté at tea. The party was discussing the efforts of the mediators at Niagara Falls to find a solution of the Mexican problem. General Huerta was more grim and taciturn than usual and showed little of his accustomed jocularity. Niagara Falls, Ont.—Ambassador De Gama of Brazil Tuesday formally announced the practical settlement of the conflict between the United States and Mexico. He explained that while the mediators would take an indefinite recess awaiting the outcome of efforts by representatives of the two Mexican factions to solve the internal problems of Mexico, the task of mediation was not yet concluded, though an essential part of the work had been accomplished. The ambassador spoke at a luncheon given by the three mediators to the newspaper correspondents. The entire American and Huerta delegations to the mediation conference were present and the remarks of Mr. De Gama, after careful revision, were made public later, constituting a formal statement of the work of mediation thus far. "It is a source of satisfaction for me," said the ambassador, "to be able to say that one of the essential points of our program, that dealing with the international side of the conflict, is practically settled. This does not imply that we go home with our task concluded, but we feel that so far we have averted war. "We have established also through agreement between the parties most directly interested and in complete harmony with the sentiments of the government of the United States, that it is a principle of American policy to have our national problems always given a fair examination, and settled without foreign interference. We understand that if such a result has been attained we shall have created a more favorable atmosphere in international politics in America." The American delegates received word from Washington to leave here when they thought advisable, but they will be the last to go. The recess of mediation still holds in effect the armistice between the United States and the Huerta government at Vera Cruz. No protocol has been signed as yet indicating when the American forces will be withdrawn from Vera Cruz. This has been left for consideration after the two Mexican factions agree on the new provisional government. McAdoo Offers Aid to Move Crops.

URGES AMERICANS TO LEAVE. Brazil's Envoy Advises Escape from Mexico City at Once. Washington.—Senor de Aliviera, the minister from Brazil, who has represented the United States in Mexico since the breaking off of diplomatic relations between this country and General Huerta, sent a private dispatch to the State Department urging it to advise American citizens to leave Mexico. The Brazilian minister said he could not of his own volition advise Americans to leave the Mexican capital and he therefore asked "for advice" from this government to prompt him in this connection. The Brazilian minister reviewed the situation in Mexico City in the same light as Lord Carden, the British minister at the Mexican capital, who had advised British citizens to leave the country.

TROUT FOR ALL STREAMS Do You Know That- IN NATIONAL FORESTS OF COLO RADO AND WYOMING. Consummation of Co-Operative Arrangement Between Bureau of Fisheries and Forest Service. Denver.—Plans are well under way leading to the complete restocking of all trout streams and lakes throughout the national forests of Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota within a period of nine years, is the statement given out by local forestry officials. This announcement is made following the consummation of co-operative arrangement between the bureau of fisheries and the forest service whereby the former agrees to furnish the necessary fish fry for distribution to the various forests. Under the terms of the agreement, shipments of fry will be directed to railroad stations nearest the waters to be stocked so that as many streams as possible may be supplied for a central point. The planting of all fry will be performed by forest officers with a view of making the most effective distribution and of keeping close check on the results of the work. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF According to local officers, it is estimated that approximately twenty million trout fry of the brook, rainbow, and blackspotted varieties will be needed to meet the requirements of all the waters adaptable to the production of trout, of which number the bureau of fisheries is prepared to supply something over four and a half million this year and a gradually decreasing number each successive year for a total of nine, at the end of which time it is expected that the complete restocking will have been accomplished. The estimates are said to cover 273 streams and lakes in the three states. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Denver Mint Gives Up $25,000,000. Denver—Sending $25,000,000 in gold to New York for export to Europe didn't create even a whisper of difference in the United States mint at Denver, for the reason that Denver has the largest gold reserve of any subtreasury in the United States. On June 15 Denver had $78,292,326 worth of gold bar, and $495,211,866 in gold coin, a total of gold amounting to $573,414,192. Out of this total came that rifling $25,000,000—just loose change, as it were. San Francisco on June 15 had $127,354,014 in gold bar and $136,343,764 in gold coin, a total of $263,697,778, so that Denver had double the amount of gold over its closest competitor. Commenting on the exportation of $70,000,000 in gold to Europe since Jan. 1, John Burke, treasurer of the United States, in Washington spoke of the Denver gold showing, and said it wouldn't make any difference if Europe wanted $100,000,000 or $200,000,000, because the United States had more than one billion of dollars worth of gold in reserve. It is understood that the balance of trade draws some of this gold and two great railroad corporations in Europe are about to retire some of their bonds in gold.

And there is any number of transparent or semi-transparent materials from which to make a choice suited to the lesign. There are the plain and figured nets, volles, swiss organdy, basiste, and the finer lawns, besides silk muslin and chiffon. This is an American design, original and simple. It is prettyly girlish and need not shrink from comparison with the product of any French establishment. There is an underskirt and waist of silk muslin. For this underslip the thin washable Chinese and Japanese silks are desirable, for they can be readily cleaned. A baby waist, with rather full sleeves, and a plain, moderately full skirt, answers this purpose and is to be made as a separate garment. The outside skirt is also straight and plain. It is trimmed into very shallow scallops at the bottom and these are finished with a narrow ruffle of very fine point d'esprit or valance, for which fine plain net may be substituted. Over this skirt there is an overkirt, somewhat fuller than the underkirt, and cut at the bottom in the same way, in shallow scallops, finished with the lace edging. The overskirt rops over a ruffle made of the organ- Style Features in New Coiffures A. E. THE FRIENDS A COIFURE that is popular with "Miss Manhattan" must possess certain style features which are worth inquiring into, since this young lady is very sophisticated and keen and discriminating, when it comes to the matter of making selections. One of those new hairdressings which have compelled her approval is shown here and since imitation is sincerest flattery the French twist, made of a mass of waved hair, may consider itself flattered. The most noticeable points in this style are the waving of all the hair and the side part. There is a return to waves and curls and the promise, already occasionally fulfilled, of puffs in the coming styles in coiffures. Far more than half of the prettiest effects show the hair parted at one or both sides and massed on the top of the head. The hair is combed more away from --- dy edged with lace. The ruffle follows the lines of the drapery in the overskirt, which is caught up at each side by a group of nine tiny tucks placed over the hips. The neck is cut square in front and there is a square turnover collar of lace in the back and edging of lace set in at the front. A strand of pearls is worn, most appropriately, with this, as a neck finish. Two smart accessories complete the costume. They are a wide girdle of figured ribbon and a cluster of little flowers, forget-me-nots and June roses, fastened under the overskirt at the left side. The girdle is finished at the back with a flat bow. If it were not for the sleeves one might say this gown lacks any distinctively original and picturesque touch. But they are features of importance. The bodice, cut in kimono fashion, with full short sleeves, depends upon them for its smartness. Set on to the short sleeve are shaped ruffles of organdy headed by a full puff of the same. The ruffles are cut into long points in the manner of old-fashioned "angel" sleeves. They seem appropriately named in the vapory material of this gown. The unusually wide brim of the hat worn with this gown is an innovation in shapes. The hat is made of matline with horsehair lace over it on the crown and upper brim. There is a sash of ribbon about the crown, with flower medallions affixed to it. A the face than it has been. This is the effect of hats which set less far down on the head than those that preceded them. It is not difficult to arrange the hair in the manner pictured, but the waving is not so easy. A side comb is worn with the long twist at the back, and for dressy occasions a Spanish comb makes an effective finish, thrust in at the side near the top or at any angle that is becoming to the wearer. It is quite the style to show the forehead bare at one or both sides. In the side part, as pictured here, the left forehead is bare and a lock of hair falls down at the right side and center. Little love wipes of hair about the face are curled in tight ringlets. The ears are almost uncovered, marking the last of the innovations which hairdressers are introducing. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. --- J.
