PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Optimism Essen- tial To Ne- gro Uplift VOL. XX. Optimism tial g'r Washington, July 14.—Is the American Negro over-sensitive to opposition, over-indifferent to support? Answering the question in a substantial affirmative, Ralph W. Tyler takes occasion to speak a word of warning to the people of his race. Mr. Tyler is a native of Ohio. His ability brought him forward, and Presidents Roosevelt and Taft recognized him through appointment to the post of auditor for the navy department. Mr. Tyler has stood high and stands high in the confidence of Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee institute. Even now he represents as national organizer the National Negro Business league, with headquarters here, of which Mr. Washington is president and whose object is "to promote the commercial and financial development of the Negro." Having just concluded a trip covering more than 20,000 miles, desirous of arousing the race to a greater sense of appreciation of the white man's friendship, thus carrying forward the mandate of the organization he represents and in large measure presumably voicing the opinions Mr. Booker T. Washington, Mr. Tyler dictated a rather out-of-the ordinary interview for the readers of the Times-Star. FEELS INTENSLY CRITICISMS. "As a race," says Mr. Tyler, "we are too prone, perhaps to emphasize the evils some few of the whites would aim at us; and too inconsiderable of the help others of the same race are rendering us; rebellious against the wrongs some white men inflict upon us, but too unappreciative of the benefits others bestow on us; too hasty in our sweeping denunciation of the whites because of some discriminating measure which some white legislator would have enacted into law, and too unmindful of the forceful and unselfish service which other white men are rendering us. We seek assidiously after the bitter criticisms heaped upon us by unfriendly publications, while we overlook the splendid editorials and helpful articles disseminated by a friendly press. In short, we exaggerate the wrongs and minimize the good the whites do us, both as individuals and as a race. "Within the past twenty years our white friends in this country have privately contributed over twenty million dollars to the cause of Negro education, and over five million dollars to our benevolent and religious institutions. Hampton and Tuskegee, the greatest of exclusively industrial educational institutions, either white or black, established and maintained for the exclusive benefit of the Negro were endowed through the private means of white friends. Fiske, Atlanta and Wilberforce colleges, types of so-called Negro institutions for higher education, and every Negro educational institution in the Southern states, excepting only the Negro denominational institutions, were established and have been fostered, and maintained through the private contributions of our white friends. "We denounce the mere introduction of a restrictive legislative measure offered solely to appease a partisan sectional constituency; yet only too frequently we accept without manifestations of applause the gifts made by philanthropic white friends in the cause of racial advancement. The gifts of a Rockefeller to Negro educational institutions and to colored Y. M. C. A. organizations are forgotten in our zeal to denounce the antagonism of some Tillman. The splendid contributions of a Carnegie to advance the race along educational and civic lines are ignored while we stop to anathematize some Vardaman for opposing the appointment of a Negro to an inconsequential office inconsequientiag in its influence upon our general progress. We neglect public expressions of appreciation to some philanthropist like Rosenwald for his munificent gifts to education and Y. M. C. A. work, while making haste to call mass meetings to protest against cheap political antagonism of some Cole Blease who caters to an ignorant antagonism. Julius Rosenwald recently announced that for every dollar raised by Negroes for rural education in the South, he would contribute a dollar of his own. The biggest obtainable black-faced type headed the article in some of our race publications, denouncing the opposition to a Negro prize fighter as expressed by some white men; yet a small and modest type was the most conspicuous display these same publications could devote to the announcement of Mr. Rosenwald's proposed benefaction. DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY, JULY 25, 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Bodies State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO "It is natural that we should be sensitive to the wrongs inflicted upon us. But optimism rather than pessimism, should possess our souls. It is the splendid optimism of Booker T. Washington that makes him unmindful of the intermittent shots fired by isolated enemies of the race, while pursuing, with all his might and main a constructive programme for race betterment and improved reciprocal respect between the races. It is well that we should voice our protests against any and all attempts to abridge or restrict our rights and privileges under the constitution. But it is likewise well that we express our approval and appreciation of the splendid helpful, vitalizing assistance which white friends daily are lending to counteract the activities and designs of our enemies. "Without the help of white friends the cause of Negro education today, after half a century of freedom, would scarcely have emerged from the embryonic stage. The silent, benevolent white factors outside the legislative halls and executive offices are the forces we should seek to co-operate." LUCKY DAY SALE ATLAS DRUG CO. WILL GIVE $100 AWAY.

GEORGIA DEMOCRATS FIGHT FAKE PROMISES Atlanta, Ga., July 7.—The sensation of the present political campaign in this State for a successor to the late U. S. Senator A. O. Bacon was sprung by the Atlanta Constitution in its issue of July 2, when it published the following editional: SAME OLD TACTICS The political situation in Georgia reminds us of "Bob" Toombs' story about the white man, the Negro and the pearly gates. The white man, Toombs said, wanted to negotiate heaven. Peter at the gate told him he would have to come mounted. So he returned to earth and induced a Negro to serve as steed, artfully insinuating that thus equipped both of them could enter the hallelujah land. They arrived at the celestial portals. "Tie your hores outside, and come on in," said the good gatekeeper. It's been that way in Georgia politics since the cows came home. Everybody knows how it works. The demagogue gets out on the stump and by every cheap device imaginable appeals to race prejudice. He promises with a binding oath to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. He crossed his heart and swears himself purple in the face that when he is elected to the House or the Senate he will see there are no more Negro federal appointments. The campaign ends—and with it comes an end of the "issue" until it is resurrected for the same use in the next campaign. The current Georgia campaigns bring about the usual revival of the eternal "nigger" bogie. Once more they are going to ride the "nigger" up to the political pearly gates. And then—they're going to tie the Negro outside; for two more years—until the next campaign. Time and again they have slid into office on the back of race prejudice, oozing promises to disfranchise the Negro nationally, and to prize him away from the pie counter—and failed utterly to redeem those promises after they took their seats. The people of Georgia are awake to these cheap, insincere and contemptible tactics. Hold that candidates who can find no stronger issue than the "nigger" under suspicion. Discount 100 per cent his promises on other issues, if he makes the old specious, sophistical promises about the "nigger"—promises experience proves will not be kept. The people of Georgia have cut their political eyeteeth. They know hypocryci and buncombe when they see it! RACE NEWS Jackson, Miss., July 21.—A. N. Sinclair, a traveling salesman, yesterday was fined $5 for tipping a Negro hotel porter 10 cents. He is said to be the first person to be arrested under the state anti-tipping statute, now two years old. The Negro also was fined a similar amount for accepting the tip. Washington, D. C., July 9, 1914. —There was another noteworthy occurrence in the Senate today, when, on motion of Senator Martine of Virginia, an appropriation of $55,000 was voted toward a celebration next year at Richmond of a half-century of industrial and educational progress by the Negro. Several southern senators improved the occasion to express their approval of the appropriation and to praise the remarkable advance which the Negro has made. Paris, July 8.—Colored subjects of France are being tried in noncombatant posts in the French navy with great success. One hundred Sengalese worked in the stokehole of the flagship of the Mediterranean fleet for two months with entire satisfaction to the admiral in command. According to the report, the men seemed delighted with their new occupation. The Government of West Africa has undertaken to supply the Navy Department with a draft of 200 Sengalese annually. An attempt was made to hold up the Illinois Central passenger train No. 11, by a bandit one mile east of Epworth, Ia., Wednesday night. The bandit ordered the porter, Henry Bruce, to search the passengers while he stood guard with drawn revolver. The porter snatched the bandit's "gun" and both men fell to the floor of the car. The weapon was discharged several times, but no one was injured. Passengers hearing the struggle gave the signal to stop the train. The bandit freed himself and jumped off, escaping into the woods. Bay Springs, Miss., July 14. Sheriff Jones of this county has shown the kind of courage that entitles him to a place on the roll of honor of brave men. When a mob attempted on the morning of July 9 to take from his custody, a Negro, Mose Johnson, the sheriff promptly summoned thirty deputies in addition to thirteen he al ready had and defied the mob. He ordered the crowd to disperse NO 48 and informed them that he would protect the Negro at all hazards. That kind of opposition weakened the determination of the would-be lynchers and they sullely and slowly scattered. Johnson was charged with holding up the pay car of the Gilchrist-Forpney Company at Stevens, Miss., getting $2,300 in currency. One clerk was killed and two severely wounded. Philadelphia, Pa., July 15. Mrs. Mary E. Montague, a colored woman, purchased, for residential purposes, a house at 1904 North St. Bernard street, West Philadelphia, and took possession June 7. White neighbors objected to her presence and on the night of June 30, a mob of a thousand whites bombarded the house with bricks and stones, finally using firearms, coupling the demonstration with threats of death if the occupants remained until the next day. For two hours the mob raged, damaged the house front and rear, no policemen being in evidence. In response to a telephone call from a saloonkeeper at the corner of 52nd street and Westminister avenue one policeman responded who sent in a riot call. Two wagon loads of officers were then sent to the scene and order restored. Mrs. Montague purchased the property through a colored agent and had no prior intimation that the white people of the neighborhood objected to colored residents. The Department of Public Safety has made an investigation and it is reported that a number of the ring-leaders have been arrested. It is probable also that a storekeeper in the neighborhood, who sold fireworks at half price, to "blow the niggers out," will be indicted. SUNDAY TABERNACLE PERMIT IS ISSUED. Building Inspector Rice Thursday issued a special permit for the construction of a frame tabernacle in which Billy Sunday revival services will be held. The permit was issued upon authorization of the city commissioners. The tabernacle will be located at Tenth and Lincoln streets and will be a one-story frame structure to cost $8,000. Sunday's personal representative reached Denver Friday and at once started the construction, let contracts and attend other preliminary details. The Denver Evangelistic Campaign Association, under whose auspices Sunday is coming to the city, has rented a house at the northeast corner of Eleventh avenue and Grant street for the use of the evangelist, his wife and members of his party during their stay in Denver.

Glover, an attorney living at 2355 Cleveland place, Denver, has been missing from his home for the last month, and his friends fear he has been murdered. Miss Susie Gilchreest, for many years one of the most prominent educators in the southern part of Colorado, died at the home of her parents at 3636 Lafayette street in Denver. Two exceptionally large sticks of glant powder with about twenty feet of fuse were found under the platform of the C. & S. passenger station, concealed in a ten-pound tin bucket at Walsenburg. Edith Reno, three years old of Denver, fell thirty-five feet and landed on the sidewalk, whimpering. She was taken to the County hospital apparently uninjured. No bone was broken. There was not a bruise on her body. The only reason she was taken to the hospital was to undergo an X-ray examination to satisfy the physicians she is not injured internally. Charged with connection with the burning of the Southwestern mine and other outrages committed during the coal strike, C. M. Lane, ex-United States soldier, and more recently a member of troop B. National guard, Colorado, and who is alleged to have deserted to join the strikers, is in the county jail at Trinidad. Lane was arrested at Pueblo by Under Sheriff Zeke Martain. Lane, according to information, was active in charge of a band of strikers that carried on a campaign of destruction which resulted in the burning of mines in the Aguilar district. WATCH OUR WINDOWS BOTH STORES The weekly weather crop bulletin, issued at Denver, says: "Except in non-irrigated districts all crops made satisfactory progress and the weather was ideal for farming operations. The outlook is promising. Harvesting of grain is under way. The second crop of alfalfa is coming on nicely and will be ready to cut within a week. Potatoes are doing well, but the early varieties are affected by blight in northwestern localities. Sugar beets are making rapid growth and corn is doing very well. The ranges are generally in good condition. In the fruit districts the fruit crop is reported to be in good condition and a crop of more than 50,000 crates of raspberries has been marketed from Canon City. At least $2,750,000 is the amount estimated by officials of railroads centering at Grand Junction as the revenue that Western Slope cattlemen will receive this year for Western Slope grass-fed beeves. The trial of Mrs. Ida Mercer, charged with first degree murder for the slaying of her son-in-law, Carl Gregerson, will not appear on the West Side Criminal Court docket until Sept. 8. That was the third ruling made by Judge Perry of Denver on the motion for a continuance made by Mrs. Mercer's attorneys. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS "Iconoclast" declares, emphatically, that in the United States the negro receives just treatment, and that he has similar opportunities for advancement as the white man of the same financial status. These statements I deny with equal emphasis, says a writer in a Chicago paper. I have been in every state in the Union, as well as in many foreign countries, and I have yet to see a place in English speaking America, with the exception of the British West Indies and British Guiana, where even the respectable negro is treated, not as a colored human being, but as a human being. There is a great difference in the distinction. Even in these excepted places, as well as in the remainder of the new world, the genuine or nearly genuine negro suffers many disabilities. To the uninitiated the negro in the North receives apparently fair play. There is the appearance of his being able to come and go at volition, but such is not the case, and there are many restrictions. "Iiconoclast," if I rightly judge, can base his opinion only on a one sided experience of the matter. To get some idea of the other side I would advise him to "color" up himself—just a little will do—and go forth to prove his assertions. He need not go south, but can remain right here in Chicago, where the negro is treated better than anywhere else north of the Rio Grande. Supposing him to be a paragon of refinement and culture, let him try to get employment other than menial, or to get a good seat in a theater, or to find a first class restaurant where he is not frowned upon. In at least one loop restaurant I know he will see a sign on the door telling him "We cater to white people only." I was once assaulted in a New York lunchroom for no other reason than the color of my skin. I went in and ordered in the politest possible manner a meal. It is true that the negro is indebted, directly or indirectly, for his all to the white man, but has he not overearned if by the unrequited toll of centuries? Is not the same or even more done for the newly arrived foreigner, who had absolutely no hand in the country's development? There is a great difference between the opportunity of the poorer white man and that of the negro. The former, if he has health and the will to succeed, can aspire and hope eventually to reach any position. In no other country in the world has he such opportunities. Lincoln, Carnegie, Rockefeller and many others sprang from this class, and the chances are better today, because this great republic is now at the zenith of its power. The negro is susceptible to aesthetic refinement, or to its direct opposite, and he is today in all parts of the world just what his environment makes him. It has been estimated that during the present year 1,248,000 factory hands in Russia have already participated in strikes, in addition to 215,000 others who are employed in establishments not under the factory act. Chinchillas, valuable fur-bearing animals, which inhabit high mountains in Chile, have been imported into England for breeding experiments on a farm. That service and self-sacrifice are the gems of life, and that these virtues should be practised by the educated members of the colored race who are struggling to uplift their people, was the sentiment expressed by Henry Lincoln Johnson, the retiring recorder of deeds, before a large audience of members of the Christian Endeavor Societies of southwest Washington, at St. Paul's A. M. E. church. "For myself," said Johnson, "I would not care to live in any completed community where there were no unfortunate ones to help, no evil to combat, no suffering or distress to relieve, no lowly ones to lift up, no inspiration for service—in short, no real work to be done. "The Christian Endeavor," he said, in referring to the work of the societies, "deserves to be commended for the good work it has accomplished for racial and human uplift, and especially will it find among the 100,000 colored inhabitants of Washington a large field and ample opportunity for useful service." The old-fashioned man who used to deal in good greens now has a son who deals in green goods. It takes a woman two hours longer to wash the front windows than it does to wash the back windows. A rag and a bone and a hank of hair. And the rag so thin that it makes men stare. A woman is always afraid of mice if she is wearing silk stockings and there is a man around. The Tennessee supreme court's decision that former slaves cannot inherit property under the ordnary rules of kinship was upheld by the Supreme court of the United States. The question arose over the case of John Jones, a former slave, who owned a farm in Tennessee at the time of his death, and the construction of the state laws of Tennessee, which deny the right of collateral inheritance to be in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the constitution. John Jones died in Shelby county, Tenn., possessing 77 acres of land. He left no children, but a number of brothers and sisters. Marguerite Jones, the widow of John Jones, claimed the property. Will Jones secured quitclaim deeds from the brothers and sisters, turning over to him their interests in the property. Litigation resulted, in which the Tennessee courts held in favor of Marguerite Jones. They held that the brothers and sisters were born in the days of slavery, and hence could have no inheritable interest in the land. Will Jones, in his appeal to the Supreme court of the United States, claimed that this decree of the Tennessee court violated the fourteenth amendment to the constitution by depriving former slaves of their civil rights as guaranteed to them by the organic law of the land. Marguerite Jones claimed that the state of Tennessee had the right to say which of its citizens should inherit the lands of another citizen dying intestate, and also that none of the constitutional rights of Will Jones had been transgressed. Under the decision the land goes to Jones' widow. The promise of Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago to duplicate all gifts for negro rural public schools in the South is no less notable for its wisdom than for its generosity. It is not clear from the dispatches whether this refers only to sums raised by colored people or by others; in either event, it is munificent enough. But Mr. Rosenwald is accustomed to bestowing his benefactions both wisely and generously, as witness what he has done for the Y. M. C. A. movement among the colored people. A number of impressive and useful buildings have arisen because of his aid and inspiration. So disheartening has been the condition of the negro rural school—in many counties they offer a mere mockery of education—that the Slater and general education boards, as well as the Jeanes fund which applies itself exclusively to the colored rural public schools, have been devoting themselves to the task of obtaining better supervision, better teachers, and better conditions. If Mr. Rosenwald will now duplicate every dollar raised by the colored people to improve their cross-roads schools, a splendid spur for their activities—and they give generously in comparison with their small means—has been provided. The colored population of the South is making more rapid progress in every line than those of the North, according to the Rev. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the Cosmopolitan Baptist church, who, in a sermon declared it would be but a short time when colored men desiring to advance themselves will return to their southern homes. He said that labor organizations in the North are prejudiced against members of the colored race, and in many trades exclude them from employment. Paul Laurence Dunbar day was celebrated by pupils of the G. R. Giddings school at Washington on the last day of the session. The anniversary of Dunbar's birth falls on June 27, but as school closed before that date it was decided to celebrate it on the day named. Exercises were also held recently by the school in memory of Samuel Coleridge Taylor. At this time Mrs. Andrew F. Hillyer made an address and Miss Louise Howard sang folk songs from his works. The birth and early childhood of Dunbar was the subject of an address by Miss M. A. D. Madre, delivered in connection with the Dunbar day exercises. Miss L. A. Smith told of his start in life. Recitations were given by Misses E. J. Jones, Florence Scott and V. E. Edelin. Miss I. B. Clarkson also took part. Pupils participating were Marcellena Underwood, Beulah Overton, Theresa Butler, Margaret Cole, Manuel Cole, Dorothy Sinkfield, Francis Brown, Thomas Belt, Antoinette Bitchel, Florence Washington and Beulah May Green. A brute is a man who insists upon making his wife let him have his own way once a week. What has become of the old-fashioned man who wore a horse-hair watch chain? When a woman finds that her suspicions are baseless she immediately digs up some new suspicions. No matter how big around a woman gets she can always find a hat that will shelter her. CROP OF $100,000,000 COLO. COKE OUTPUT CAUSES COLORADO FARMERS TO WEAR PLEASED SMILE. State Ranks Sixth in Increase of Agricultural Products Showing Gain of 10 Per Cent. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.-Colorado farmers are jubilant over the 1914 crop outlook. The prospects are for an increase of 10 per cent over the best yields of twenty years past. The showing is regarded as remarkable, since agricultural conditions in Colorado for the last ten years have been 109.8 per cent of normal. According to a report of the bureau of crop estimates of the Federal Department of Agriculture, crops over the whole country are 1.4 per cent better than the ten-year average. Only six states are ahead of Colorado in point of increase of production. The states and their ratings are: Kansas, 117.2 per cent; Nebraska, 115.8 per cent; South Dakota, 112.8 per cent; North Dakota, 110.2 per cent; Iowa, 110.2 per cent, and California, 110 per cent. The high showing of these states is due in part to the fact that they have bumper crops and in part to the low normal rating for the last ten years. Colorado's ten-year period has been well up to former standards, so that her rating means a greater relative increase than is shown by the many other states. Not only has the yield per acre greatly surpassed former years, but the acreage under cultivation is also much larger, so that the general agricultural output will show an increase much greater than the 109.8 per cent estimate of the agricultural bureau. Prices also are better than before, and the total wealth that will flow into the farmers' pockets will be far more than for any other year. The value of all crops is estimated at $100,000,000. Estimates put the corn crop 70 per cent larger than ever before. The price, according to the "dope," will be 8 per cent greater than the average for the last five years. The average on July 1 of this year was $0.755, while for the last five years it has averaged $0.695 a bushel. This means that Colorado's corn crop will be worth about $8,000,000. The price of wheat has fallen off 20 per cent, but the 35 per cent increase in the production will more than offset the fall in price. The price has dropped from $0.962 for the five-year average to $0.769 for this year. Slays Two Children and Self. Glenwood Springs.—Drugs made a madman of Dr. T. L. Hutchison, one of the best-known surgeons of this section, and when his course of frenzy had run his two daughters, Fay and Lois, 10 and 12 years old, respectively, lay dead, victims of their father's desire to slay, and the physician himself was a suicide. And had it not been for the bravery of a nurse, Miss Mary, McCahan, his wife, too, would have been killed. Ill from a beating he gave her two weeks ago, she lay in a room of a local hotel when the husband entered. He dragged her from the bed and pointed a revolver at her. As he was about to pull the trigger the purse seized him. She pushed him from the room and locked the door. Mrs. Hutchison may die. Three Denver Boys Drown. Denver.—Three Denver boys answered the lure of forbidden places of swimming and paid with their lives. In the Clayton college reservoir Lawrence Schweider, 16 years old, and Samuel Arthurs, 12 years old, were drowned within 300 yards of the school, unnoticed by any person. In the swift waters of the Platte river near Twenty-eighth street, William Becker, 12 years old, was drowned, after Eddie Glampietra, also 12, almost lost his own life in an effort to save his comrade. Kills Child in Play With Gun Cañon City.—With a rusty revolver which the child found in the yard and placed in his mother's lap, Mrs. Roy H. Polhemus, wife of a rural mail contractor, shot and instantly killed her six-year-old son, on their ranch at Gussey, thirty-five miles north of Cañon City. Mrs. Polhemus, who was unaware that the weapon was loaded, held it at her son's head and pulled the trigger. It is feared that the mother will lose her reason. Unveil Memorial Tablet Aug. 1. Denver. — The Colorado memorial tablet for the Washington monument will be unveiled on Colorado Day, Aug. 1, according to word received in Denver by Governor Ammons. Arrangements to that end are being perfected by Congressman Taylor of Colorado, who informed Governor Ammons of the plan. Miss Etta Taylor, Congressman Taylor's daughter, will unveil the tablet. Girl Sleep Walker Falls 18 Feet. Windsor.While walking in hgr sleep, Marie Petrie, domestic in a local hotel, stepped out the second-story window of the hotel and fell to the ground eighteen feet below without injury. Breaks Leg Picking Flowers. Windsor.—Stooping to pick a flower beside a ditch bank, Mrs. William House, fifty-six years of age, slipped into the water and fractured her leg by the fall. STRIKE AFFECTED PRODUCTION DURING PAST YEAR. Output In 1913 Was 879,461 Tons, Valued at $2,815,134, According to U. S. Geological Survey Report. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver. The output of coke in Colorado in 1913 was 879,461 tons, valued at $2,815,134, according to E.W. Parker of the United States Geological Survey of Washington. The decrease as compared with 1912, amounting to 93,480 tons in quantity and $228,860 in value, was due entirely to labor troubles among the miners, and not to adverse trade conditions. The principal disturbances were in Las Animas county, the leading coal-producing and coke-making county, and resulted in a decrease in coal production of nearly a million tons and in the whole of the decrease in the output of coke. There are fifteen coke-making establishments in Colorado, which operate 3,588 ovens, all of the bee-hive type. Six of the establishments, operating 726 ovens, were idle throughout the year. In addition to these idle plants, 980 ovens were idle at plants that made some coke in 1913, so that the total number of idle ovens was 1,706, representing nearly half the coking capacity of the state. No new ovens were under construction at the end of the year. According to returns made to the Geological Survey, the average value of Colorado coke advanced from $3.13 a ton in 1912 to $3.20 in 1913. In 1911 the average was $3.30. These fluctuations are, however, more apparent than real. A large proportion of the coke produced in Colorado is made in ovens which are parts of plants, including in their operations coal mining, coke making and the manufacture of iron and steel, or the smelting and refining of the precious and base metals. For such plants the placing of a value on the coke produced is an arbitrary matter and does not represent market prices. Only about thirty per cent of the total output of Colorado in 1913 was commercial coke. Record-Breaking Crops and Prices. Denver.—Colorado is on the eve or the greatest agricultural harvest in its history. Crop conditions are almost ten per cent better than they have averaged for the past ten-year period, which included a number or bumper years. Conditions in the country as a whole are 1.4 per cent better than the ten-year average, but conditions in this state are almost 8 per cent better than that. These facts are shown in a general review of crop conditions issued by the bureau of crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture. The report shows that prices, as well as crop conditions, range generally above the average. Bank Deposits Gain $2,250,000. Denver:A gain of more than $2,250,000 in individual deposits in national banks in Denver has been made in the four months' period from March 4 to June 30, according to the report of the comptroller of currency, made public in Washington. The enormous increase in deposits is regarded by Denver business men and bankers as the beginning of a return to normal business conditions in Denver and Colorado. They all maintain that business has been given impetus within the last four months, and that it will not be long before it has resumed its former thriving condition. Will Sell 200,000 Acres to Settlers. Denver. — Two hundred thousand acres of land will be sold to actual settlers in Lincoln, El Paso and Elbert counties by the State Land Board early in September.

Denver.—A state commercial organization modeled along the lines of the United States Chamber of Commerce is to be formed at once as a result of a meeting of state associations' executives at Boulder, according to information given out by Denver delegates returning from the meeting. Observe Colorado Day Aug.1. Denver.—Colorado Day will be observed Saturday, Aug. 1, by patriotic decorations and appropriate programs. Stations Urged by Mine Assn. Denver.—The Colorado Metal Mining Association, through its secretary, John M. O'Connell, urged upon Colorado's representatives in the National Congress the need for the passage of the Kern bill, which provides for the erection of ten experimental and fifteen mine safety stations in the western states to further the conservation and utilization of low grade ores. It is conceded that in some of the Colorado mines the actual waste of ore is from thirty to forty per cent. ERNEST HOWARD, Carpenter, Job and Repair Work. Coal, Wood Coal, Wood and Express Street.

PESSIMISM We have always in the loudest of tones and the strongest of measures for the number of years in the journalistic field adopted and advocated Mr. Ralph Tyler's thought—"optimism is essential to the progress of the American Negro." We have been assailed, abused and called everything but pleasantness for our advices to our colored folks to appreciate what has been and is being done for us by the other side. The article of Mr. Ralph W. Tyler speaks for itself and we wish we could meet the gentleman. How hearty a handshake we would give him, as he in a forcible yet inoffensive manner gives us suggestions and advices that will not only help, but be material in solving this racial problem. Our Denver race leaders ought to profit by Mr. Tyler's article and strictly adhere to his optimistic views, using them as their platform both religiously, politically and socially, and they would soon discover a great improvement in the situation, which though hard at times, must dissolve as the dew before the rising sun with the march of progress and the advancement of education. Resolve, therefore, to be on the side of the optimist and help to hurry the solution of this problem which makes this great United States conspicuous in the eye of the nations of the world. "A man's a man for a that." A BLOW TO PROHIBITION Another point was scored by the LOCAL OPTION forces when the Denver Chamber of Commerce went on record last week as being strongly opposed to state-wide prohibition. This organization being the leading commercial agency in the state ought to have an important bearing on this question, also the attitude of other trade organizations, as it consists of the leading business men of our community—men who have engaged themselves steadily in ways and means that tend to progressive action of our state and country; men who form a striking contrast to the advocates of prohibition, who possess very little (if any at all) material interests in the country, and who for a few dollars will sacrifice the good of the state by their impractical measures and reforms, which must result in commercial ruin and destruction to our state. This action of the Chamber of Commerce is very helpful at this time, as it is a positive indication that at the election next November the vote against prohibition will be solid, and a large majority of the people will give the death-knell to these itinerant reformers, consigning them "to the dust from whence they sprung, unwept, unhonored and unsung." We are face to face with facts of the reduction of business in the states that are now dry, and Tennessee furnishes food for thought, when her state bonds could not find purchasers in Wall Street at $4\frac{1}{2}$ per cent for thirty years. Reformation is good and all right in its place, but when it must fill the role of a subscriber to the exhaustion of a country's treasury, then the time has arrived when the strongest measures must be adopted to suppress its influence. Let us get together and move solidly so that the enemies of progress will meet not only defeat, but utter annihilation.

Summer Rest for the Working Girls By MARY KENNEY O'SULLIVAN, Boston, Mass. I think the method of inventing pleasure excursions or "diversions," so much in favor with the semi-chari-table vacation institutions, is a great mistake. Surely the girl who has stood behind a counter or worked in a factory for fifty weeks in a year, always under the eye of a "boss," should have at least the two remaining weeks of the year free from restriction or effort of any kind, should be allowed to utterly relax, and should not be called upon even to speak or smile if she doesn't feel like it. When the energy comes back the smiles will come back, and the desire for diversion will come of itself, which diversion the girls will invent and carry out as the spirit moves them, and it is of far more benefit to them, since it is their own spontaneous expression, than any games or excursions planned by a paid entertainer, and to which the girls are expected to respond and take part in a mass, even though their individual souls may be longing for something entirely different. Another thing which I think is a mistaken idea is that working girls, when on their vacation, must always be under the eyes of those in control of the institution. The girl, who for the sake of honesty and virtue, has worked all the year around, it seems to me, has earned the right to be trusted for two weeks, and not be forever under the eye of a "guard," as the girls themselves call it. These girls are made of the stuff that makes the world go round—virtue and endurance. The women who toil year after year in a world fraught with temptation on every side have proved their virtue—which the women of the leisure class have not done. There are some rules, of course, that must be conformed to for the greatest benefit to the greatest number. For instance, the retiring hour should be respected by all, as a vacation is primarily for the purpose of rest, and the many should not be disturbed for the pleasure of the few who might wish to sit up late. I do not believe in the "charity vacation." I believe that every girl should receive sufficient wages to enable her to put by enough to pay for her own vacation and know the joy and self-respect of paying her own way. It should be always possible for her to obtain this at a moderate cost, to be sure, but still enough to make her feel her independence. In cases where even this is not possible then there should be a public fund set aside for the purpose of giving those who labor a chance to rest and store up energy. In these days of efficiency engineers it seems to me some one's time would be well spent in figuring out how to conserve the energy of the nation, and that the money set aside in a public fund with which to give the future mothers of the race a chance to rest and store up energy would be money well spent. This would lift it out of the charity idea and put it on a practical basis. Power of Thought Greater Than Supposed KATHERINE A. DRISCOLL Milwaukee, Wis. Victor Hugo said that we could center our thoughts so strongly on any-one that, no matter what the separating distance, we could force that person to think of us. Power of Thought Greater Than Supposed KATHERINE A. DRISCOLL Milwaukee, Wis. Mark Twain, when he wished to hear from a friend, would sit down and write him a letter and then destroy it, knowing that the concentration of thought would force his friend either to write him or to come and see him. The power of thought—for good or ill—is, no doubt, much greater than we understand or appreciate. If those in the innermost circle of our lives hold the thought that we are incapable no doubt this thought goes out and is grasped by a wider and widening circle until we are engulfed in the maelstrom of "malicious animal magnetism." The sensitive soul feels the condition, is depressed, loses courage and, no doubt, in many cases becomes a failure with success in sight, all because of the evil of surrounding influences. Evil suggestion, grasped by the sensitive soul, is ruinous in its effect. for we do catch thought waves almost as readily as the spoken word, and the evil suggestion or thought is breaking to the spirit. Again, no doubt, great good can be accomplished by holding the right thought, especially where two or three are gathered together in a good cause. Holding the thought that an ill member of the family will surely get well is, without doubt, stimulating and helpful to the invalid. Holding the suggestive thought over the one who owes us that he will and must pay us may have an effect on the debtor and we may get our money. He catches our thought; he catches it often until he gets weary of it, and finally for his peace of mind he settles the bill. Desire anything, keep desiring it strongly, always working toward that end, and eventually one must gain one's point. In nine cases out of ten the members of a jury in a great trial will bring in a verdict in accordance with the wishes of the public. Every paper may be censored and still the jury will catch the sentiment of the outside public and usually will bring in a verdict in accordance with the general wish. It is quite as necessary that we guard our thoughts as that we put the check rein on our spoken expressions, for we can do quite as much harm with the one as with the other. If the federal migratorybird law is unconstitutional then so are the laws for river pollution control, fish distribution, epidemic control, the white-slave traffic, national express business Aid Movement to Protect Useful Birds By A. T. WESTON, Raleigh, N. C. and the Panama canal. There is danger that the work of the bird champions will be nullified by congress and obstacles placed in the way of further protecting our migratory birds. In view of the decrease already accomplished in the general volume of bird life, the enormous losses annually inflicted by ravages of insects and the destruction of wild life throughout America, I believe the bill providing federal protection for all migratory birds ought to have no opposition. The greatest destruction of our birds occurs in the southern states. There are seven states in which the robin is regularly and legally killed as game. They are Louisiana, Mississippi, Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and Florida. There are five states that permit the killing of blackbirds as game—Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, District of Columbia and Pennsylvania. Cranes are eaten in Colorado, Nevada, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oklahoma. In Louisiana as many as 10,000 robins are slaughtered each day. The quail is a great destroyer of the seeds of noxious weeds. In our fauna he has no equal, but throughout the North and South this species is mercilessly shot, and, as a result, is becoming extinct. Shore birds are being exterminated by sportsmen and pothunters. The Eskimo curlew is extinct and other species are going the same way. Annual Outing On the Beautiful Hills of GOLDEN, COLO.

The picnic a week ago last Friday was one of the most enjoyable outings ever given by our Sunday school. Six cars filled with an enthusiastic party left the station at nine o'clock return- ing at eight. Everyone declaring that Zion had eclipsed her former reputation. Thirty-two pupils of the Teachers' Training class successfully passed the examination last Tuesday evening, conducted by Dr. Sly, who pronounces ours as the best class in his district. A committee of ladies composed of Sisters Nannie Johnson, Beatrice Perkins, Lillie Moore, Mary White and Hattie Holmes, after soliciting among the friends, presented Mrs. Over with a purse of $61, to defray the expenses of her summer vacation. Mrs. Over dosires to gratefully acknowledge this kindness and will leave with Edna for Kansas City early next week. The funeral of Sister Elnora Moore, held from the church last Wednesday afternoon, was the last touching experience in the passing of one of the most faithful and reliable of Zion's membership. The congregation shares the grief of the relatives. The executive board of the association of Baptist churches met at Zion Wednesday. Much business was disposed of pertaining to the work of the state. Dr. W. T. Nickerson was elected field representative, who will have charge of the entire district. SHORTER CHAPEL A. M. E.

A miniature panoramic reclamation project, modeled after the Shoshone of Wyoming, will be placed on exhibition at the San Francisco world's fair by the United States reclamation service. Carl Haag, a contractor, at Los Angeles, Cal., shot and killed Mrs. Edna Sikes, a widow, because she refused to marry him. Then he committed suicide. Haag's son, six, witnessed the tragedy. Mine operators and miners of District No. 21, United Mine Workers of America, in conference at Fort Worth, it was announced practically had agreed on the "check off" system of paying union dues and the eight-hour day for Texas miners. An adverse report was recommended by the state Senate committee on constitutional amendments at Atlanta on the measure to give Georgia women the right to vote in state and county elections. Similar action was taken recently by a House committee. An appeal for financial aid for more than 45,000 Ohio coal miners, who have been out on strike since March because of difficulties with the operators in the forming of a new contract, was made to unions of the United Mine Workers of America throughout the country by officers of the Ohio union. The theory that the body of the girl exhumed from the potters' field of Mount Hope cemetery at Urbana, Ill., was the missing Catherine Winters of New Castle, Ind., has been shattered. The body was identified by Nicholas Larry, a well-to-do implement dealer, as that of his daughter Margery, who had died thirteen months ago, at the age of two years. Provisional President Carbajal of Mexico does not intend to surrender unconditionally to General Carranza and will concentrate his military forces and resist an invasion rather than permit the constitutionalists to enter Mexico City without previous agreements not to wreak vengeance on the lives and property of those who supported General Huerta. Finding of charred fragments of the bodies of two men in the ruins of a log cabin and reports of an attempt to destroy the surface workings of another mine owned by the Bache-Dinman Coal Company, were developments in the conflict between strikers and non-union coal miners and other company employés in the Hartford valley coal fields at Fort Smith, Ark. WASHINGTON. A new federal judgeship in the Southern district of California with headquarters at Los Angeles is provided in a bill passed by the House. After months of deliberation the Senate Judiciary Committee agreed upon the final revision of the Clayton anti-trust bill to supplement the Sherman law which passed the House last spring. The Chilean counsel of state has approved a bill raising the legation in Washington to an embassy, according to a report to the State Department. The United States recently elevated its legation at Santiago to an embassy. The War Department has just let a good fat contract to a Chinese firm for construction of part of the army hospital at Fort Shafter, Hawaiian Islands. This is the first time on record that the United States government has let such a contract to a foreign firm, especially to Chinese, who are prohibited from competition with American labor in this country by the Chinese exclusion law. The United States through its consular representatives, appealed to General Carranza and General Villa in the interest of patriotism and permanempeace in Mexico to bury their personal differences and work in harmony for the establishment of a new government. Secretary Bryan telegraphed both George C: Carothers and John R. Silliman, representatives of the State Department with General Villa and General Carranza, respectively, urging that they present in a most friendly, yet effective manner the importance of cohesion in the constitutionalist forces. Telegrams received at the Department of Agriculture from more than twenty points in the Middle West tell of the appearance of the army worm in great numbers, and ask for advice as to how the pest may be combatted. General Carranza informed the United States government that he was ready to declare a suspension of hostilities against the government of Provisional President Carbajal, Huerta's successor, pending negotiations with his representatives for the transfer of authority at Mexico City to the Constitutionalists. FOREIGN. Gen. Francisco Villa soon will begin coining silver pesos for use in the territory he controls if plans made known at El Paso, Tex., are not changed. Sultan Ahmed Mirza, the sixteen-year-old shah of Persia, on attaining his official majority, took the constitutional oath of office in the palace of the national council. Serious strike disturbances broke out in St. Petersburg, where 100,000 workers have laid down their tools as a protest against the drastic measures of the authorities at Bacu and elsewhere against strikers. Victoriano Huerta left Mexican soil Monday night, probably never to return. After open signs of mutiny had led to the arrest of three officers attempting to incite the soldiers to assassinate him, the ex-dictator listened to the tearful entreaties of his wife and friends and capitulated, boarded the German cruiser Dresden and sailed from Puerto for Jamaica. Joseph Caillaux held the court for two intense hours at Paris, testifying in defense of his wife, who sat in the prisoner's inclosure, charged with the killing of Gaston Calmette, editor of the Figaro, on March 16 last. The appearance of M. Caillaux was hardly les dramatic than that of Mme. Caillaux. "I accuse myself," he cried in the climax, "I committed a fault. I should myself have acted, but, absorbed by public affairs, I failed to realize the ravages Calmette's calumnies had made on the soul of my wife." SPORT. Standing of Western League Clubs. Clubs.

Cash prizes aggregating $1,500 have been hung up for the events. GENERAL. William Rookefeller's seat on the New York Stock Exchange was posted for transfer to his son, Percy A. Rockefeller. A famous painting on wood of the burial of Christ and of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, said to be worth $250,000, is being sought in this country by agents of the Spanish government. Friends of the late Madame Nordica have enlisted the aid of prominent musicians and music lovers in a plan to erect a heroic statue of the diva in Central park, according to announcement in New York. The engagement was announced in New York of Miss Constance Buel to Vivian Burnett, the original of the 'Little Lord Fauntleroy," one of the many books written by his mother, Mrs. Francis Hodgson Burnett. By a vote of 1,518,416 shares to 775, the stockholders of the New York Central railroad, at a special meeting in New York voted to approve the consolidation of the New York Central with the Lake Shore & Michigan Central and other allied lines. Race suicide does not threaten the United States so long as foreigners continue to emigrate to this country, declares Dr. S. Josephine Baker, head of New York city's bureau of child hygiene. Her statement was drawn out by the published fact that alien-born women in that city are bearing more children than their native-born sisters. The closing chapter in the Barr and Widen case, accused of obtaining an aggregate of $1,000,000 by fraudulent use of the mails, was written in the United States District Court at Chicago when the defendants connected with the company were convicted.

Colorado Prepared by the Agricultural Department WASHINGTON, D.C. IMPORTANCE OF CLEANLINESS. Cleanliness in the care of food means not only the absence of visible dirt, but freedom from undesirable organisms, and from worms and parasites. If food is exposed to dirt at any stage of its preparation, disease germs and other dangerous substances can easily get in. The bacteria of typhoid fever sometimes find their way into drinking water and oysters, and those of typhoid and scarlet fevers and diphtheria into milk. Celery and lettuce grown in soil containing typhoid germs have been thought to convey this disease. Food materials may also contain parasites, like tapeworm or trichinae in meat. Vegetables and fruits may become contaminated with eggs of numerous parasites from the fertilizers applied to them. Raw fruits and vegetables should always be thoroughly washed before serving, if there is any doubt as to their cleanliness. If the food is sufficiently heated in cooking all organisms are killed. Sometimes food undergoes decomposition causing illness when eaten usually called ptomaine poisoning though it is probably more often a poisoning due to certain micro-organisms accidentally present in the food and taken into the body with it. Poisoning by animal and vegetable foods, both have been caused in this way. Cooking sterilizes food, but it can become contaminated after it is cooked. Every effort should be made to secure clean food, and to make sure it remains clean after we get it. The importance of this can hardly be overestimated. In some cases it has been found that foods are adulterated with compounds injurious to health, but adulteration in which harmless articles of inferior cost or quality are added is more common. Attractive and suitable ways of serving food have a usefulness beyond their aesthetic value. Everyone knows that a feeble appetite is often tempted by a tastefully garnished dish, when the same material carelessly served would seem quite unpalatable. All persons are alike in that they must have protein for the building and repair of the body, and fats and carbohydrates to furnish it with heat and energy, but individuals differ in the amounts and proportions they require. An average man at moderately active work, as a carpenter or a mason, needs more food than a man at sedentary employment. The demands for food are variable, increasing or decreasing with the increase or decrease of muscular work, or as the other needs of the person change. The theory is advanced from time to time that one or two meals a day are preferable to the three commonly served in this country. If the same amount of food is to be eaten it is hard to see the advantage of two very hearty meals over three ordinary ones. Moderate quantities of food taken at moderate intervals are apparently more easily and completely digested than larger quantities taken at long intervals. If the food ordinarily taken is considered excessive, and the aim is simply to reduce the amount, it would seem more sensible to make all meals lighter than to leave one out. The very fact that the custom of eating a number of meals a day has so long been almost universal indicates that it must have some advantages which instinct, based upon experience, approves and justifies. The cheapest food is that which supplies the most nutriment for the least money. The most economical food is that which is the cheapest and at the same time best adapted to the needs of the body. It is quite evident that the market price of food materials is not regulated by their actual value for nutriment. For instance, an ounce of protein or fat from the tenderloin of beef is no more nutritious than that from a round or a shoulder, but it costs considerably more. The agreeableness of food to the buyer's fancy has much to do in deciding the current demand and selling price. Animal foods, such as meat, fish and milk, and vegetable foods, such as cereals, fresh fruits and so on, all are wholesome and useful. It is a common custom to depend on animal foods quite largely for supplying protein and fats. Carbohydrate comes almost entirely from vegetable foods. There is a difference in the cost of nutrients in foods already prepared for use, and in the same materials not so prepared. For instance, wheat made into ordinary prepared breakfast cereal might contain no more available protein or energy than the same wheat made into flour, but the breakfast cereal costs more than the flour per pound. At the same time the breakfast foods afford a pleasing variety in the diet, and often require little or no cooking, thereby saving fuel and labor. If the breakfast cereal does not cost much more than the flour, the difference may be offset by its convenience and palatability. The use of different foods of a similar nature is an easy way of get- ting the variety we all need in our diet. A common mistake in buying foods is the selection of the most expensive kinds when cheaper ones would serve the purpose just as well. The maxim that "the best is the cheapest" is not always true of food. The plain, substantial, standard food materials, like the cheaper cuts of meat and fish, milk, flour, corn meal, oatmeal, beans and potatoes are as digestible and nutritious and as well fitted for the nourishment of people in good health as are any of the costlier materials. We endeavor to make our diet suit our palate by paying high prices in the market rather than by skillful cooking and tasteful serving at home. Unless care is exercised in selecting food a diet may result which is one-sided or badly balanced—that is, one in which either protein or fats and carbohydrates are provided in excess. If a person consumes large amounts of meat and little vegetable food, the diet will be too rich in protein and may be harmful. On the other hand, if pastry, butter and such foods are eaten in preference to a more varied diet, the food will furnish too much energy and too little building material. The use of excessive quantities of food, a common dietary error in this country, entails a loss of food in at least three ways. In the first place, more food is eaten than can properly be utilized by the body. This is not universally true, for there are some who do not eat enough for healthful nourishment. But the eating habits of many are vicious, resulting not only in a loss of food material but in an increase in the labor of digestion, to say nothing of the injurious effects which overeating may have upon the health in general. On the other hand we must not forget that many—and not always those in poor circumstances—are undernourished. Either extreme is to be avoided. The second kind of waste is noted when more food is served than can be eaten, and the excess is thrown away as table waste. The third form is that which may occur in the preparation of food materials for consumption. In removing the inedible portion, as skin or seeds from fruit or vegetables, more or less of the edible portion is removed also. The greatest loss, however, is in the waste of animal foods in which the nutrients are in their costliest forms. The trimmings of meat, which are left with the butcher or removed in the kitchen, frequently contain one-eighth of the material paid for. Much valuable fat may also be thrown away. Part of such waste is inevitable, but much of the valuable nutrients might be saved if the materials were used for making soup, which could easily be saved and used. The most economical cuts of meat are those in which there is less waste of this kind; in such cuts of meat as loin of beef, rib chops of lamb, one-fifth the cost goes to pay for bone. A great deal of fuel is wasted in the preparation of food, and even then a great deal of the food is badly cooked. To replace expensive food badly cooked by cheaper food well cooked is important for both health and purse. To make the table more attractive will be an efficient means for making the home life more enjoyable. HUMOR BETTER THAN 'DON'TS' Lesser Faults of Children Should Be Corrected Gently, Says a Mother. "Satire unhorsed knight errantry" was Marion Crawford's way of describing the power of wit. Cervantes' "Don Quixote" set all Europe laughing, and presently jousts and tournaments were no more. The woman who called attention to this circumstance is the mother of six children, who then told how she had learned to use humor in place of censure in bringing up her young brood. "Why not use humorous railley to unhorse lesser faults instead of 'a ceaseless repetition of "don'ts?" she said. "Almost all children have a very live sense of humor and can be easily appealed to through it. The parent who arouses it establishes a camaraderie that is an invaluable asset in acquiring self control and the control of others. Many faults, very troublesome in their entirety, barely warrant great severity for each individual commission. But in our annoyance we are likely to apply the inadequate and deadening 'don't.' "Tardiness in dressing, lack of independence in learning to tie neckties and hair ribbons, neglect to hang up coats and caps or to blacken shoes, many things that hinder self reliance, even bad temper and selfishness, can be thrown from the saddle successfully in most cases by making the fault look absurd." A Century Ago. One hundred years ago congress repealed the Embargo act, which had passed in the preceding December. The act prohibited the citizens of the United States from carrying on commerce with any foreign nations. Its purpose was to prevent the British forces in America from receiving the food and other supplies necessary to carry on the war. But in practise the embargo worked even more hardship on the people at home than on the enemy. Consequently there was a strong demand for the repeal of the act, particularly from the sections bordering on the sea. The New England states especially had suffered great loss by the stoppage of their shipping and commerce. OPEN FOR New Dining Room in Connection to Keystone Social Club.

Q Snow-White Hat for Hot Weather S IN THE restless realm of fashion one finds greater stability and uniformity in the styles created for little girls than in any other direction. In fact, a very large proportion of all frocks for young misses show variations of a single model. The long waist, or blouse, joined to the short skirt, as pictured here, is developed in all sorts of fabrics and is followed closely in line in the simplest as well as the most elaborate of children's dresses. There is nothing finer or more elegant than a dress of embroidered or gandy or swiss or batiste, trimmed with one or two of the several durable laces that will stand any amount of cleaning. Cluny and the fillet laces, with the best German or French val, will last as long as the fabric of the dress, and in fact cluny and fillet laces will outwear strong fabrics. Val is somewhat less durable, and also less expensive. In the picture a straight panel extends down the front of the dress from neck to hem. The required fulness is introduced into the waist by groups of tiny hand-run tucks in the material at each side of the panel. The front, including panels and sides, to the underarm seams, is in one piece and an extra length at the bottom provides the ruffle. The fulness in the back is provided by tiny tucks, as at the sides. The ruffle is set on to the body of Snow-White Hat AS cool and refreshing looking as the white crest of a wave is a hat made of white maline and white ottoman ribbon, and trimmed with white camellias and rose foliage. Like the lingerie hats of former seasons it speaks only of midsummer time and seems no more burdensome than a bit of mist swirling above the head. The frame is made of the finest silk-covered wire and the maline is first laid smoothly over it in two thicknesses. The construction of this hat is extremely simple. The brim is covered on the upper side with ruffles of the maline, and the crown with row after row of ottoman ribbon. The maline is cut in strips about three inches wide and each strip is folded along one edge in a double hem one-third of an inch in width. This hem is machine stitched in white silk thread. The thickness of the hem and the machine stitching gives the edge enough body to support it. The ruffles are laid on with very little fulness. The rows of ribbon covering the crown are not fulled on a gathering thread, but sewed down to the dress by means of an insertion of filet lace. There is a cape collar edged with a filet edging, which in turn is finished with a val ruffle of very scant fulness. The short puffed sleeves are finished in the same way. The bottom of the skirt is finished with the filet edging. After the French fashion, dainty patterns in hand embroidery (nearly always in flower form) are put in after the lace and material have been sewed together. Sprays of flowers extend over the organdy and lace. The pattern, in graceful lines, is repeated on the front panel and about the sleeves. As a finishing touch crochet buttons in groups of three simulate a fastening of the panel to the dress at each side. There is a folded sash of light blue ribbon in which an end hangs from the simplest of knots to the edge of the ruffle at the left side. These dresses for young girls are worn very short. In fact, the impression is that they are a trifle small for the wearers. But there is ample room across the shoulders, and careful mothers usually see to it that there is a chance of lengthening the skirt by letting out tucks placed in the ruffle or by adding a second lace edging. The softness of the material allows more fulness than is really needed, and these little dresses last out two or three seasons' wear, in this way making the hand work well worth doing. for Hot Weather the crown, with an occasional plait laid in to accommodate the ribbon to the shape. This plait in each row is laid directly above that in the preceding row. In the wire shape a wide bandeau is provided at the back, which is covered with plain maline and bound with ribbon at its lower edge. A few ruffles are set on the bandeau. This is a pretty and elaborate-looking affair that is really quite simple. It is one of those hats which the home milliner can undertake to make for herself with no reason to expect a failure. After the frame is covered two full-blown white roses, with their foliage, or two camelias are tied together with a bit of black velvet ribbon and mounted against the bandeau and underbrim. The hat is lined with maline. The little plaited frills of muslin that fall down the backs of some blouses are very quaint and attractive. The A. T.
