Langford Defeats Smith In Three Rounds
VOL. XX1.
Langford feats Six Three
Boston, Mass., Oct. 20.—Before one of the largest crowds that has witnessed a fight at the Atlas Athletic association this season, Gunboat Smith of California to night quit to Sam Langford, in the third round of a battle scheduled for twelve sessions.
Smith never had a chance, and some of the fans thought he used excellent judgement when he remained on his knees and listened to Jack McGuigan toll off the fatal ten count.
It was the first time the "leading white hope" of this county, who gained a decision over Langford here a year ago, has been knocked out. His 200 pounds were behind three solid punches before the first round was half over, and a sweeping right felled Smith for a count of seven. Smith was weak when the first round ended.
In the second round Langford again took the aggressive. Leading a left, he hammered a right home to Smith's jaw, crushing him to the mat. Smith sprawled there for nine seconds, staggering to his feet barely in time to save himself from being counted out.
Feinting and landing with left and right, Langford rocked Smith with his blows and floored him again. Referee Jack McGuigan of Philadelphia had counted four when the bell gave Smith a reprieve. Protecting himself as best he could. Smith lasted through nearly two minutes of the third round. Then Langford again pointed his left menacingly and drew Smith's guard over. The Negro quickly drove his right with terrific force to the white man's jaw. Smith sank to the mat, where he was counted out. Experts here tonight were of the opinion that there is no white heavyweight now in the limelight who has a chance with Langford, and some thought that his threat against Johnson was anything but an idle one.
The white man was outclassed all the way through, and on his showing tonight the fans wondered how the gunner ever defeated any of the heavy weights who are parading around the country Langford cried out from the ring after the bout for them to bring on Jack Johnson, saying he would do the same to him as he did to the big Californian.

Langford looked overweight and did not appear to be in the best of shape—a condition which caused some speculation as to what he would have done to the Gunner had he been in top form for the contest.

GEORGE A. CARLSON,
Republican Candidate for Governor
If there ever was a time when the people of Colorado would show their appreciation of the use of the ballot it must be on November 3, when a sweeping victory for Carlson will prove that although he is the Republican party's choice, yet the time has come when, tiring of the continuous turmôils that our state has passed and is passing through, the people have resolved to elect a man who listens to the dictates of his conscience first, and then in conjunction with the wish of the people consents to be at the helm of the ship of state and steer her clear of the rocks that now surround her. Capable and conscientious, keen and honest of mind, with fairplay to all and preferment to none from a prejudicial standpoint, he needs no delegation to wait on him as he is approachable and ever ready to give audience on matters of state, especially concerning the welfare of the people and the obedience to law. In his declaration he emphatically asserts that he will see the laws of the state carried out, whether in their present form or changed, and opens the door to the public to inform him at all times on matters which need reform for the social, moral and financial uplift of the community of which he is a member.

orado Statesman is supporting this candidate absolutely, and we, from our personal experience with him and his associates who have urged him to come forward to save the fair name of the state, even at a great sacrifice to himself, strongly advise and impress all voters to place the X opposite the name of George A. Carlson for governor, which will help to insure peace, plenty and prosperity to Colorado.
A LESSON FOR YOUNG MEN
(From The Boston Reliance)
Investigation is that element in one's ambition, which causes us to risk our lives in our endeavor to attain that which we seek
We find that over ten years ago, Mr-Watt Terry thoroughly investigated the real estate field, worked it to his advantage, and today holding warranted deeds to $500,000 to $600,000 worth of property.
Nothing in the United States can so impress our youths and maidens as the goods delivered, and Mr. Terry has delivered the goods. After deep and earnest research we find this man of only thirty three summers, a real dynamo of energy, a marvel of self-control, and object of respect in his own town. His home located in the Back Bay of Brockton, with Hon. W. L. Douglas, the shoe king his next door neighbor, surrounded by elegant lawns, kept by a white landscape gardener, with four automobiles in his garage on his estate, we are caused to marvel at such progress, and such simplicity as we learn belongs to this unique citizen.
If the young men would learn the real secret of keeping poverty from their door, how to bar misery and want at old age, how to elude that element which causes the church to take up a collection for him on his passing out, he will study Watt Terry. This dynamo is a wonder in energy and not surpassed in this country by any man in his line at his age.
If this race is to rise to a higher plane in all that counts for civilization, they will study of the life of such men as Dr. Washington, whom Mr. Terry says is not surpassed by any human being in this world and that he wished we had fifty more such as him, burning objects to our race for doing things.
Dr. Washington informed the audience at Chicago at the Negro Business League in 1912 that "Mr. Terry says that he has reached his present position in life largely because he married."
Many a married man today is a grand failure because he married, but Mr. Terry married a woman devoted to his interest, modest, unassuming, and whose whole heart believes in partnership. This is a
team that is bound to succeed, when on the right, for such a helpmate not only lifts and cheers him in his endeavors, but builds him up in his sad and depressive moments.
We understand that the fifteen employees are mainly white which serve Mr. Terry, this naturally causes much wonder from his own race.
When we realize that he is an investigator and that after years of actual experience has found it is not to his advantage, but like Mr. Edwards, the largest expressman among us here, who says, "I cannot depend on them, I am sorry but I must put in white teamsters."
These words should cause everyone to stop and take a clearer view of the situation. Nowhere in this country can we hear so many complaints and so little substantial business development as here.
The young colored woman in charge of the switch board in the apartment Checkleton, owned by Mr. Terry is placed in that position and pronounced fit.
It is true the colored man has outstripped all competitors in the manner he has worked, from the bottom up, and we feel that too often this fact is a real hindrance in the advancement of many, when it ought to be an element to greater effort.
If one seeks magnetic inspiration let him sit under the soft modulated voice of Mr. Terry, listen to him tell about his Sunday School of which he is superintendent, then see the general secretary, Mr. Pierce of the Y. M. C. A., and learn of his generosity to that body, and visit the homes in Brockton, where he ministers as a good angel with his wife to the needy.
Then it will be greatly easier for the Colored man to secure his civil and political rights, by doing those things which prove to the mass of his and other races that he is a useful member in the community and a real profit to them.
NEGRO CENSUS
Washington, October 16.—The number of Negroes in the United States proper in 1910 was 9,827,763 compared with 8,833,964 in 1900, or an increase of 993,769, a preliminary report of the Census Bureau announced today. In 1910 the Negroes formed 10.7 per cent. of the total population, against 11.6 per cent in 1900. The increase for the decade was 11.2, compared with 20.8 per cent. among the native whites and of 30.7 per cent. among the foreign born whites. Of the total of 2,953 counties in the United States, there were only 110 in which there were no Negroes and there were fifty-three counties in 1910 against fifty-five counties in 1900 which 75 per cent. of the population was Negro.

State-Wide Prohibition's Record of Dismal Failures
Fifteen Eastern states have exploded the false theory that statewide prohibition is an aid to temperance. Fifteen Eastern states have learned from sad experience that state-wide prohibition does not prohibit.
Fifteen Eastern states, after having given this false temperance doctrine a fair trial, have returned to sanity and Local Option.
COLORADO HAS LOCAL OPTION—under a law that has stood the test of time and litigation and has been pronounced by students of the subject the best local option law ever enacted.
AFTER SIXTY-FOUR YEARS OF STATE-WIDE PROHIBITION, MAINE, THE OLDEST PROHIBITION STATE IN THE UNION, IS CRYING FOR LOCAL OPTION, AND WILL SUBMIT THE REPEAL OF PROHIBITION TO THE VOTERS AT THE NEXT ELECTION.
Colorado Should Not Experiment With "Freak" Legislation
A law that has proven a dismal failure in fifteen older states should not be taken on by Colorado at the behest of a coterie of traveling reformers who, after November 3, will pack up their few belongings and hie them to "richer fields," leaving the people of Colorado to "hold the bag."
HERE IS THE RECORD
Hundreds of tourists are planning to take their 1915 vacations in our midst. War and destruction in Europe will turn the tide of travel toward Colorado. DON'T ROCK THE BOAT.
On November 3 VOTE "NO" on Amendment No.2.
An amendment to the Constitution of the State of Colorado by adding thereto a new article, to be numbered and designated as "Article XXII, Intoxicating Liquors," prohibiting the sale of intoxicating liquors and the manufacture and sale of intoxicating liquors for the purpose of sale or gifts.

AGRAVE INJUSTICE
AGRAVE INJUSTICE
Do those who advocate the absolute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of all alcoholic liquors realize the seriousness of the social and economic crisis that would be precipitated by such legislation? Are they aware of the fact that the heads of families aggregating probably not less than three million people would suddenly be deprived of their sole means of livelihood, and that properties valued in the aggregate at perhaps two billion dollars would as suddenly become worthless?
It is doubtful if they do fully realize this, yet these are figures given by no less a writer than Dr. Henry Smith Williams in an article in the "Ladies Home Journal," reviewing the prohibition
"What does it mean? Absolute prohibition of the manufacture of liquor? You take away then from science and from the medical profession and from the several other classes of every useful people a quite needed commodity so that I could not in justice to the human race advocate the absolute prohibition of the manufacture of liquor."

movement. And he adds: "Personally I am at a loss to understand how anyone who has the slightest grasp of economic questions can contemplate with equanimity the anarchistic possibilities—nay, certainties—which reveal themselves through the slightest use of the imagination in connection with these figures. To me, at least, it seems obvious that the only thing which has kept the prohibition movement before the people of the United States is the simple fact that prohibition does not prohibit."
Thinking men and women who seek the truth and are unswayed by prejudice, and who give the foregoing facts the consideration they deserve, cannot escape a like conclusion.
"All true Americans, it seems to me, ought to strive to maintain and perpetuate American principles. State-wide prohibition violates and local option supports this principle, therefore I am opposed to state-wide prohibition and in favor of local option."
Bishop Clark, Rhode Island:
"Prohibition has been disastrous to the cause of temperance."
Bishop Grafton, Wisconsin:
"I cannot see the benefits to be derived from compulsory abstinence. Rabid temperance workers have accomplished very little toward destroying the drink evil."

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS
Our readers have already been instructed and edified by Mrs. George F. Shears' account of the biennial meeting of the Federation of Colored Women's clubs at Wilberforce, O. Miss Zona Gale, her companion, the two, we believe, making the only white attendants, has given her version of the story in Life and Labor, the organ of the Woman's Trade unions. The extracts from the utterances of those present found in Miss Gale's article are so persuasive and inspiring that we gladly lay hold of them for the benefit of Unity readers. The chairman of the executive board, Mrs. Mary Talbert of Buffalo, among other things, said:
"Never in the history of our race have our women had so great a privilege as is granted to us, the privilege to be and to do what we will, to develop our highest powers, to improve every opportunity, to satisfy our deepest longings for educational advantages. For the women of our race of 50 years ago were the common burden bearers, the common property of the horde, refused the privilege of reading and writing, forbidden to recognize their own names when they saw them in writing. And yet they were trusting in God.
"To my mind comes the first Negro club woman, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, who after the Civil war—or rather, I might say, after our new birth—went up and down the Southland to the newly liberated slaves, and urged upon those mothers to start at the fireside. In a letter dated Greenville, Ga., March 29, 1870, she writes: 'Now is the time for women to begin to try to lift up their heads and plant the roots of progress under the hearthstones.' Today the Negro women all over the country have seen that flower grow, and it is for us to continue to plant.
"This is the field. Now what of the co-operation? There can be but one motive in all our work—the spirit of Christian love, the expression of racial brotherhood. What we have done cannot be measured only by advance, but by the deterioration which we have helped to prevent. We know that in every community there are splendid women who have not yet seen the necessity of 'lifting as we climb,' who have not felt that they could leave their whist tables to do this work, and yet they will tell you that they are in sympathy with what we are trying to do. Nobody can be the friend of any class by being the enemy of any other class. You can be the friend of one class only by showing it the line along which it can accommodate its work to the best advantage. The lines of help are always the lines of this accommodation. I firmly believe that the more we interest our women of the favored classes to work with the women in humbler lives the better our work will be done—this work of lifting an entire Negro manhood and womanhood into better life.
"It behooves us as club women to see that we urge our ministry to co-operate with us. Often ministers have been particularly antagonistic to this club movement, fearing that it will affect the financial support of the church. We sympathize with the feeling of such ministers, for we know that the average minister does not receive a living salary, much less a working salary. But we must educate them to the fact that the time has come when they, too, must join with us in enlarging the work by these organizations of women's clubs."—Unity
Inquiries replies to which will demonstrate convictions pertaining to a majority of the questions now of the greatest importance to the Negro race have been sent to all candidates for congress of the Republican, Democratic and Progressive parties by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters in New York. The candidate is requested to make known his intention as to whether, if elected, he will vote against any measure abrogating the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, segregation in the federal service, residential segregation in the District of Columbia, segregation as regards "Jim Crow" cars in the district and laws making racial intermarriage in the district invalid. He is also asked if, under any circumstances, he justifies lynching or favors the enforcement of clause 2 of the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution.

If one of three Negro boys can't ride the animal, that horse will not see service in the allies' cavalry. The British government, which continues buying horses at the Kansas City stock yards, says nothing about Negroes in its horse contracts, but under the clause "well broken" the British inspectors have to see the horse ridden, and it is up to the man selling the horse to supply riders. There fore it falls to Negro cuffers at the horse barns to supply the "nerve touch" required by the British.
Sambo, Pete, Jake one day, it may be Fred, "Willum," or "Toots" the next. It makes little difference what their last names are. They are heroes among their fellow beings, and in addition to the receipt of three to five dollars a day, by risking their necks oftener they may get a tip from the boss.
The firm handling the horses has tried cowboys and circus riders, but because riders are not allowed saddles real cowboys pass up the job. The uncertain gait and movements of the horses soon discourage the circus riders. But the Negro boys stick. An alley 150 feet long, flanked by high board fences and brick paving underneath, may be the horses' last run in America. Horse and Sambo are at one end, the inspector at the other.
"Ready," calls the ring master, and Sambo goes in the air, alights like a clothed cloistron on a new rope line. The horse may go all right, and then he may go both ways at once, but if he passes up and down the alley twice without displacing his jibsail he goes to the British.
The British government has accepted 5,100 horses at the Kansas City stock yards barn. The animals had all been measured, tested for sight and soundness, and the bulk of them ridden by colored boys.
Most of them had been given the "Mallein" test for glanders. D. H. B. Adair and his assistants in Kansas City of the United States bureau of animal industry, applied that test to 4,370 horses, during September, and 1,000 more are at Lathrop, Mo., awaiting the test. The government test for glanders is free of charge.
After the rider has discharged his duty the horse is turned to the branders and when he gets through, there is an arrow on the shoulder, and a number on the hoof. The horse is a Britisher.
Jacob Estey, one of the pioneer makers of planos and organs in America, was born in Hinsdale, N. H., one hundred years ago. His youth was one of adversity, and it was only by the hardest work and personal sacrifice that he was able to obtain a common school education. At the age of twenty-one he bought with his savings an interest in a business for the making of melodeons. For a number of years thereafter he acted as his own salesman, traveling through New England and Canada selling his instruments. With the profits thus obtained he embarked in the manufacture of planos and organs. His business grew rapidly, and at the time of his death, in 1890, it was the largest of its kind in the world. Mr. Estey spent his large fortune liberally for good purposes. He was the chief founder of Shaw university for colored people at Raleigh, N. C.
In the Hampton Trade school, and, indeed, in other departments, a student is rated for speed, accuracy, judgment, initiative, earnestness, neatness, responsibility and conduct. Of course, all of these factors do not receive the same weight, but they do form the basis for judging individuals. Hampton applies, in its daily routine, the common tests of everyday life used in the outside world where men and women must stand or fall according to the standards which they attain in their work.
Learning by doing, turning disadvantages into advantages, making the best use of one's resources—these are some of the fundamentals in the Hampton idea of education. Service and self-sacrifice form the core of the Hampton training. Results in good citizenship and safe leadership characterize Hampton's work.
The total coal supply of the world recently was estimated at 7,397,533,000,000 tons, of which nearly 4,000,000,000,000 tons are bituminous, Asia having the largest quantity of any continent.

DONS GARB OF PRISON FOR LIFE
TERM AT CANON CITY.
Slayer of Sylvester Von Phil and
George E. Copeland Appears More
Cheerful as He Begins Sentence.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Canon City, Colo.—Convict No. 9318,
as Harold Frank Henwood will now
be known until his death under his
sentence of life imprisonment, donned
his prison clothes, had his head
shaved and entered upon the daily
routine of prison life.
The man who slew Sylvester
("Tony") Von Phil and George E.
Copeland in the Brown Palace bar
room, Denver, on the night of May
24, appeared cheerful as he went
through the process by which his legal name became 9318.
The relief at Governor Ammons' commutation of the death sentence imposed for the murder of Copeland to one of life imprisonment is still evident in his bearing. He already has relaxed from the strain he was under during the three and one-half years spent in the Denver county jail.
When Henwood was taken from the train here in the custody of Deputy Sheriffs Arnett, Thompson and Pollard, he took a deep breath.
"The air is fine!" he said. "It's much better than at the county jail."
In automobiles, carriages and on foot, hundreds of curious people lined the way to the penitentiary to catch a glimpse of the man soon to become No. 9318, but the officers eluded the throng by using the side streets.
In Denver only two friends appeared to bid Henwood good-bye—John T. Bottom, his attorney, and Mrs. Thomas McCue, widow of the Democratic leader who aided Henwood stanchly.

Knauss, 1142 Steele street, Denver and left with a pocketbook belonging to Miss Mable Stiff, containing a diamond ring and $20. The Denver city commissioners, presiding as a board of equalization, at a meeting called for the purpose, flatly refused to saddle the taxpayers of Denver with an increased assessment of $50,000,000 as ordered by the state tax commission. A resolution to that effect was adopted by the board as a whole.
Early predictions of a high sugar content in the beets grown in the Wellington district are being more than fulfilled. In fact, some of the tests are running higher than ever known before, and are as good as the best in the United States. The tonage is also very satisfactory, running well on the average and in many places going very high.
The decoration of chivalry, the highest honor obtainable by members of the Rebekah assembly, was conferred upon Mrs. Estelle Lonnecker of Canon City and Mrs. Ida A. Woodruff of Lake City by Department Commander J. J. Hallock in the convention room of the Albany hotel in Denver, where the Rebekahs held their annual assembly.
Eric C. Matthews, brother of Carl Matthews, clerk of the police department at Colorado Springs, has disappeared and fears are expressed that he has met with foul play.

(Summary of Events.)
The third act of the war in the
western theater has reached a
critical point. The first aet was
the German attempt to sweep
through Belgium and Northern
France upon Paris, with the eap-
ture of the French capital as the
climax of an irresistible advance.
The second act was the offen-
sive assumed by the Allies after
General Von Kluck had stretched
his army on the German west
wing over a long line of com-
munications that he could not
hold. The allied army pressed
the German forees back toward
the Belgian border, compelling
the entire line from the eastern
pivot of Verdon to recede in
order to maintain an unbroken
front and a possible line of re-
treat.
The third act is the attempted
advanee of the Germans along the
coast of Belgium and Northern
France, apparently with the de-
sign of establishing themselves
in the Channel ports, from which
point of vantage they could me-
nace England.
Where the Battle Line Is.
‘The extreme western fighting line
now reaches from Armentieres
through Roulers to Nieuport on the
coast, about half way between Ostend
and Dunkirk. According to the French
official announcement, German heavy
artillery, presumably used in the siege
of Antwerp, has bombarded the front
from Nieuport to Viadslo, which is
about ten miles from the coast.
Fleet Aids Belgians.
‘The latest Paris report says that at-
tacks by the Germans between Nieu-
port and Dixmunde have been re-
pulsed by the Belgian army effectually
aided by the British fleet. Between
RUSSIA DENIES STORY OF
TROUBLE WITH ENGLAND
Petrograd.—M. Sazonoff, the Rus-
sian minister of foreign affairs,
in a statement to the Associated Press
clearly defined Russia’s attitude to-
ward the Allfes and her stand against |
Germany. The statement, M. Sazonoft|
said, was made because of attempts
by the reactionary party in Russia to|
create discord and awaken antl-Exg-|
lish sentiment.
Arras and Roye slight progress has
been made at several points. Our
troops have reached as far as the wire
networks of the defense. In the neigh-
borhood of St. Mihiel we have gained
some ground on the’right bank of the
Meuse.
Important Change Soon.
All the signs indicate that a change
is impending in the protracted
struggle in northern Fratice, where for
weeks the hostile armies have faced
each other in such strongly entrench:
ed positions that neither has been able
to advance except at enormous cost.
The principal effect of the mutual
flanking operations has been to extend
the battle lines without either side
finding a weak spot.
French Hold Eastern Line.
The French still hold the eastern
frontier fortress line, although a
number of barrier forts have fallen, A
letter from a German officer who was
|before Toul describes the art with
which the French defend every yard
before and between the fortresses. The
French infantry is sheltered in threc
story trenches. The bomb proofs, even
|in the infantry positions, are roofed

cept the heaviest shells are ineffec

turrets answer the continued German
fire. In houses outside the French
lines have been found cellar elet:
phones by means of which the posi
tion of the German batteries have
been destroyed. Dogs carried letters
and carrier pigeons were used, until
the dogs were shot and the pigeons
were eaten.
Almost to Metz.
The steady hammering of the Al
lies on the German left wing of the
French battle front has brought them
almost within cannon range of the
forts at Metz. In spite of this men
ace the German crown prince's
army hangs on doggedly to the post
tions it has taken on the Meuse near
St. Mintel.
Germans Get Fresh Troops.
Regular traffic on the main lines ir
Germany has been suspended the las!
four days to allow the transportation
as quickly as possible, to the western
field, of an army of ninety thousand
freshly trained men.
General fighting has been in pro
gress between the Austro-German al
les and the Russians in Russian Po
land and in Austrian Galicia during
the last week. It is reported that
about a million men are engaged or
each side.
‘The Germans and Austrians drove
the Slavs out of western Galicia and
caused them to retreat northward in
Poland to the Vistula river. But here
the Russians turned upon their pur
suers. Notwithstanding that the fight
ing in the eastern theater is extensive
and bloody it is not decisive—neither
side is really getting anywhere.

Journals, M. Sazonoff declared, went so
far ag to compliment Emperor William
and laud the Hohenzollern family.
They alluded exultingly, he said, to
the fall of Antwerp as the approach-
ing end of the war, adversely criticized
England by stating that she was get-
ting other countries to fight her bat-
tles and also plainly forecast an An-
glo-Russian rupture,
“The small German element,” sald
M. Sazonoff, “is wholly unrepresenta-
tive of Russia and negligible as fa
force the passage of the Vistula have
thus far failed and they have been
compelled to assume the defensive,
says a Petrograd report. They ap-
pear, however, to have retired in good
order and are likely to make a stub-
born fight in prepared positions be-
fore allowing themselves to be driven
off Russian soil.
With an enormous mass of artillery
the Germans have kept up a terrific
bombardment which ceased neither
day nor night. Under cover of this
fire numerous attempts have been
made to throw chains of pontoons
across the river.
Przemys! Siege tifted.
The Austrian stronghold or Prze-
mysl, a German official statement
says, is now entirely freed of the Rus-
sian siege. The Russians are reported
to be in fortified positions along the
line of Stry, Sambor and Medyka,
which now are being attacked by the
Austrians. This line is supposed to
keep in check the direct Austrian ad-
vance from Przemysl toward Lem-
berg.
Austrian Defeat in Bosnia.
An official statement issued by the
Montenegrin consul general announces
the overwhelming defeat of an army
of 15,000 Austrians near Sarajevo by
the combined Montenegrin and Serv-
jan armies. The battle raged two
days, with enormous losses on both
sides.
Seize Turk War Supplies.
Reports from Bucharest, Rumania,
say that a German train composed of
150 trucks laden with munitions and
other war material for Turkey, has
been stopped by the Rumanian author-
ities on the railroad between Bucha-
rest and Giurgevo on the aDnube. The
German government protested, but
the train was not allowed to proceed.
More Activity at Sea.
A British cruiser and four destroy-
ers sank four German destroyers off
the Dutch coast. This followed the
sinking of the British cruiser Hawke
and the killing of 500 men by a Ger-
man submarine torpedo boat.
The British and French fleets and
jthe Montenegrin army are carrying on
an attack on Cattaro, the fortified
seaport of Austria in Dalmatia, the
first sortie from which the Montene-
grins: claim to have repulsed.
Turkey Still Is Defiant.
Turkey has declined to discharge
the German crew of the cruisers Goe-
ben and Breslau, which have been in
Turkish waters since early in the hos-
tilities and which are said to have
been sold by Germany to the Turkish
government. This reply was given in
answer to the British representations
regarding ‘the continued presence of
Germans on board these two vessels.
British Army Scandals.
That the English army is clad in
inferior khaki, overcharged in the can-
teens—sometimes as much as 500 per
cent—and is ill-fed by the camp cater-
ers, are charges implied in a series of
questions that will be addressed to the
ministers on the reassembling of par-
Mament. Other questions imply
charges that courfers are able to
travel regularly between Berlin and
London; that a high official has upset
business by a Zeppelin scare; that sig-
naling to the enemy is suspected to be
going on from a Scotch harbor and
that the committee on defense has ne-
glected holding meetings.

The above Republican ticket is presented by THE COLORADO STATESMAN to the voters of the state. It is made up of strong men devoted to the upbuilding of the state. Every colored voter knows who is the friend of the race. The Republican party needs Colorado. We as loyal Republicans must do our share to win this victory. Be sure and vote the ticket as it appears above.
THOUGHTS FOR COLORED VOTERS.
Ten days more and the people of this city and state are called upon to elect a number of candidates for the various positions of state, and though it may seem a narrow position to take, yet we cannot help from warning our people to be sure and vote against every candidate who, whether by sentiment or action, has opposed us purely on the ground of our unfortunate appearance. The colored voter has the opportunity afforded him now to prove he is no longer the mechanical structure or the automatic object, that must only be wound and set off and then he acts, but from the experience of years backed up by the tremendous proofs that present themselves almost daily under the present administration, he is determined to exercise his suffrage in supporting candidates who in the essence of their manhood feel that there is a more important issue at hand and a greater purpose to serve in the true American spirit and doctrine of equal rights to all men, than the absurd and cruel action of race hatred and class prejudice. The demand must be made individually, through the press and by any other agency we have, as to the position of these men to be elected regarding the Negro race, and if they believe in fair play and unhesitatingly will express themselves as to their support in suppressing all actions that tend to denounce us as Americans then and only then will we cast a ballot in their favor. Integrity, honor and all the qualities that go to form true, courageous manhood seem to be either absent or dormant with some men when it comes upon anything on behalf of the Negroes, and even were there a volcanic eruption in their souls yet would they be narrow enough to harden themselves against their convictions. It, therefore, becomes necessary that we must be sure of the stand these candidates will take, so that when we vote for them we can feel safe that we are not adding more fuel to the fire which is actually burning us alive. Even though the Republican party has lost some of its charms, as some argue, yet we can see a reinforcement of its ranks—a returning to the fold, and there's every reason to feel we are on solid ground when we see many of the newspapers that wandered from the support of the party coming in full force and establishing the fact that the state and country will be restored to prosperity when true Republicanism is engaged in. The Colorado Statesman welcomes the return to the party of individuals, news journals, etc., and hope we will all strive to strengthen the ranks by voting for men who will carry into effect and keep in practice the Constitution of our United States, vigorously opposing any attempt at anything unconstitutional and un-American. "To thyself first be true, etc."
SAM LANGFORD DEFEATS GUNBOAT SMITH
It cannot be doubted that the man of color has proven himself superior to his white brother in the puglistic world, as when we recount the acts of Langford, Johnson, Walcott, the late Peter Jackson, Geo Dixon, Gans and others, we must take pride in the fact that while efforts are being put forward to obstruct our progress in channels beneficial to us, the opportunity is afforded us in fistic encounters to exhibit our ability to excel in this particular. It is clear that Smith was outclassed by the Boston pugillist, having been knocked out in the third round, and as experts say there seems no chance for a long time to come of anything favorable to the white hope in
this country. Now that Langford has succeeded in whipping Smith, our hope is that he will hold his own against all comers with honor to himself and credit to the game.
AIDA OVERTON WALKER PASSES AWAY.
In obedience to the summons of death there passed from the American stage the greatest actress of the colored race and one of the best commediennes of the age. She was the wife of the late George W. Walker, one of the proprietors of the Williams and Walker Theatrical Co.
Having been born in New York City, February 14, 1880, she made her first appearance on the stage in 1896 with the Black Patti Company. She then joined the Williams and Walker Company, becoming famous as a dancer. After her husband's death she was with Cole and Johnson, then played with the Dudley's Smart Set, and later appeared in vaudeville. Her last public appearance was at Hammerstein's Theater, N. Y., and since that time she has been ailing until September 28, when she went to bed, remaining until her death, Sunday, October 11.
She was noted for her charitable dispositions, having given many entertainments the proceeds of which went to the benefit of hospitals and other institutions for the poor. Her death was quite a shock to the many friends she had throughout the country and her name will be entered on the record of time as one of our foremost artists who has set a standard that will never be effaced.

EDWARD M. SABIN
Candidate for Representative, Republican Ticket—Election Nov. 3rd.
Born October 3, 1866, in Dane County, Wisconsin, he was reared on a farm. His father fought in the war of the rebellion. The first twenty-one years of Mr. Sabin's life was spent working on the farm, teaching country school and going to school when he had the money to do so. He came to Colorado in April, 1889, worked in the Clear Creek County Bank at Georgetown for two and one-half years, then went back to Wisconsin University and took a law course from which institution he graduated in June, 1893. Arriving in Idaho Springs, Colorado, in January, 1894, he practiced law for fifteen years, coming on to Denver, where he has located for more than five years. In the election on November 3rd you are asked to look down the column of representatives on the ballot, find the name of Sabin and put your X after it, which means your approval of his services in the twentieth assembly, as his experience and ability merit strong and loyal support from his fellow-citizens, as his interests will be theirs. The Colorado Statesman in indorsing Mr. Sabin urges every colored voter to cast their ballot for him, as there will be no disappointment attendant with his election.
M. H.
Republican Candidate for State Senator.
A resident of Denver for over fifteen years and known to the public as an upright, straightforward business man, Mr. Holmberg is the choice for state senator. He has added to the beauty of our city by the erection of many structures and is one of the heavy taxpayers in the City and County of Denver. While he has never held any political office in Colorado he has had experience in legislative politics, being at one time member of the legislature of Minnesota and sheriff of the city of Minneapolis, and, therefore, is not only worthy of consideration but merits a hearty support from the public. Mr. Holmberg stands firmly for an economical and businesslike administration and if elected will give every satisfaction, being the right man in the right place. Remember the official ballot is headless. It will be necessary to place an X opposite his name to insure your vote for him.
It is true that social reformation as regards the problem of the spoony young man lies in the hands of the parents and young women, but a closer analysis discloses more primary
Lack of Standards Among Our Students
By MARIAN T. WRIGHT, Milwaukee, Wis.
reasons for the lack of respect with which the average young man of today regards the young woman with whom he is thrown into daily contact. This is especially true of the so-called "society" or better elements.
It was my privilege to attend one of the foremost—if not the foremost—of the secondary schools in the West, and I noticed especially this terribly obvious lack of high standards. Because I could not see the application of the "barn dance" and its kindred movements to the school corridors I was branded as a grouch. Because I could not see the reasons for transferring the classroom into social centers, where Cicero and Virgil were underrun by a monotone of social gossip, I was pointed out as a pseudo-freak.
At lunch and during vacant periods it was no uncommon thing to hear groups of sophisticated men and women, all under eighteen years, discuss the progress "So and So" was making in his latest "crush," or how far you could "go" with the newest arrival in school. The way a girl's reputation was torn to shreds was shocking; the blase manner assumed by these young society cutups was absolutely disgusting.
I have often seen boys and girls kissing and embracing in the halls, thinking they were acting in accordance with twentieth-century ideas of decency and propriety.
We find social reformers trying to clear the way of the working girl of the many obstacles that obstruct her path, but I say that social reform is needed among the "better" classes, for it is they who will assume positions in leadership in years to come.
I do not know how these abuses were punished a generation ago, as that antedates my existence, but I think a little corporal punishment applied to a seventeen-year-old society queen and a good deal more to the eighteen-year-old pimply faced man of the world would work wonders.
The English sparrow that our worthy doctors are waging war against deserves a few words of defense. The sparrow, as the writer understands, was introduced into this country some fifty
Little English Sparrow Eats Many Insects By A. G. BUCHANAN, Chicago
years ago to destroy the inch worms that had become such a pest. These worms hung in thousands by invisible webs from the shade trees in the parks and residential streets of our eastern cities. At the time the sparrow was brought over many claimed they were grain eaters and destructive to gardens and that they would not eat or destroy worms or insects if they could get their natural food.
The following facts the writer thinks will refute the above belief: One morning a short time since, while he was passing along the busiest part of Dearborn street a sparrow almost flew into the writer's face. So eager was the little bird in pursuit of his prey that it had lost all fear of humanity. Stopping to watch the excited sparrow, I saw that it was after a moth miller, so tiny that it was almost invisible in its rapid flight to escape.
Back and forward across the sidewalk bird and miller flew, out into the street, down into the gutter over hundreds of grains of oats that had been dropped in the street by the feeding teams.
Yet the oats, the supposed natural food of the sparrow, were completely overlooked by the bird, its appetite whetted to frenzy by the sight of the household pest, the moth miller.
It was willing to work and work hard for this flying morsel despite the easy breakfast lying on the street at its feet.
Look on any lawn and you will see the sparrow side by side with the robin redbreast, hunting not for grain but for the destructive grubworm and insect. And then, too, what has become of the old pest, the inch worm?
Cocaine in Schools of the Orient
By RALPH T. BARLCW, Manilla, P. I.
Cocaine has done more harm in the world than any other drug. The habit has even taken hold of children in schools in some of the Oriental countries. The sale of cocaine is very profitable to the vendor and consequently he will do all in his power to make persons purchase the drug regardless of the terrible effects it has upon the users.
The retail trade in the streets of Bombay, India, has been going on for several years and is evidently well organized. Police records show that gangs of forty to sixty men, almost all being of the criminal class, are employed by certain dealers to sell the drug. Complaint is made that the police magistrates are not fully making use of the power they have, and the majority of cocaine sellers are being let off with lenient sentiments.
In the Bombay presidency the maximum quantity of cocaine which may be sold at retail at one time or to one and the same person other than a duly licensed physician or a duly licensed chemist or druggist or a person holding a bona fide prescription from a qualified physician, in the aggregate on any one day, shall be one-tenth of a grain whether in a dry state or in solution; and if sold to a person holding a prescription from a qualified physician six grains, whether in a dry state or in solution
Much good gray matter has been troubled over the sad fate of 2,000,000 children under sixteen years of age alleged to be at work at gainful and often painful occupations in this country
Extent of Child Labor in the United States
By ROBERT P. GREEN, New York
But the census figures do not substantiate these dismal statistics so sweet to the tongue of Socialist orators and uplifters. There are but 1,750,000 instead of 2,000,000; the vast majority of these are fourteen and fifteen years old, and should in fact be working.
The proportion in mines and factories and what may, perhaps, be called unsuitable work is given in the census figures for 1910 as 8,151 under sixteen years of age in mines, which is less than three-quarters of one per cent of all so employed. Moreover, five-eighths of the 8,000 work overground.
The persons under sixteen years employed in factories numbered 161,000 by the census, about 2½ per cent of the total of persons so employed.
Children, of course, should not be put to work at too tender an age, but just why anyone should want to keep the children unemployed after fourteen years of age is very strange. When will they learn to work if not when they are young? Keeping them at school all day is very little use.

A LITTLE RECREATION.
One of the most enjoyable outings that has been the pleasure of the writer to participate was that spent at the ranch of Wm. Smith, seven miles east of San Antonio, Thursday of last week, when we joined a party that spent the day in the woods hunting and fishing. There were three ladies in the party. Mrs. Wm. Smith, who is quite fond of such sport is one of the best shots of her sex in the Lone Star State and this fact was very much evidenced on this occasion. Mrs. Adda Hall and Mrs. Virginia Nicholson are also quite clever with shooting arms, for we had only gone about three hundred yards from the house when we came in contact with a monster rattle snake which was put out of commission by Mrs. Nicholson with a .38 Colts, while a few moments later Mrs. Hall, with a shot gun brought down a large hawk which was soaring in the air. We found plenty of shooting and the only ammunition that was wasted was by the men folks. While we all had excellent luck with the rod, Henry Jones proved to be the best fisherman. Mrs. Hall was quite anxious to get a shot at a wild cat which is said to frequent the neck of the woods through which we passed but it must have been its day off as it did not attempt to greet us. We paused a few moments in Mrs. Smith's pecan grove to eat a few goodies and before we knew what had happened, Mrs. Smith had killed a couple of squirrels. At the close of the day we were driven to town quite fatigued, but much elated over the results of the trip and the generous hospitality of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.
Francis J. Knauss, Republican Candidate for State Senator.
Born in Chicago 34 years ago and coming to Denver at the age of 17, Mr. Knauss worked his way through the State University of Colorado and passed a highly creditable examination as a lawyer. He has practiced law in Denver for 10 years and though a young man is thoroughly conversant with Colorado politics. He was a candidate for the Legislature on the Republican ticket when we had the Democratic landslide and only lacked 300 votes of being elected. Mr. Knauss pledges himself to work for a reduction of taxes, and the Statesman takes great pleasure in recommending him to a favorable consideration of the people and trust that you will place X opposite his name which will help to elect him in the Senate.

PHIL McCARTY.
Democratic Candidate for State Senator.—Election Tuesday,
Nov. 3, 1914.
Mr. McCarty has been a resident of Denver for 31 years. He has a large acquaintance among our people. He for a number of years worked as a hoisting engineer on new buildings, where he met many of our workmen. He was a member of the Eighteenth and Nineteenth General Assemblies, and voted in the committee report to kill the Cornforth bill. Let us show by our votes November third that we appreciate a liberal man like Mr. McCarty by putting a cross after his name, as he shows no favors and has always been an exponent of the square deal and the only citizens who have criticized him have been those undesirables who have little respect for courageous, impartial law enforcement.

LEMON AIDS IN COOKERY.
For ices, drinks and uses in the sick room the lemon is invaluable. It is appetizing, refreshing and healthful as well as medicinal.
Pumpkin
For a lemon sirup which may be used as a drink, adding cold water, or as a sauce, adding butter, the following is one which should always be ready: Take a cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of water, boil together five minutes or until sirup, add a half cupful of lemon juice and let it simply boil up once, then put into a bottle and set in a cool place. When wanted to use a spoonful of this sirup in a glass of water makes a most delicious drink. Lemon pie is one which is most popular, and may be made and put into a baked crust, then a frosting or meringue placed on top or the egg may be put into the mixture, and if well beaten will rise to the top when baking, and make its own meringue.
Lemon Bread Pudding—Soak a cupful of bread crumbs in a quart of milk and beat until foamy. Beat the yolks of three eggs and add. Grate the rind of a lemon. Mix with a quarter of a cupful of sugar and the juice of the lemon. Mix all together and bake in a moderate oven. When baked cover with a meringue made from the three whites and three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Set in the oven to brown.
Lemon Suet Pudding.—Mix together three cupfuls of bread crumbs, a cupful of suet cut very fine, a teaspoonful of baking powder and a half cupful of sugar. Beat four eggs and add to the mixture with a pinch of salt and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Scald three cupfuls of milk and pour over, stirring carefully. Let stand covered for half an hour. Then pour into a buttered baking dish and bake 40 minutes. Any sauce, either custard or a lemon sauce, will be good with this pudding.
Lemon Sauce.—A tablespoonful of butter put into a saucepan, and when hot add a tablespoonful of cornstarch, when smooth the juice of a lemon, a half cupful of sugar, and a well-beaten egg. Stir until smooth.
The expression of a man's face is commonly a help to his thoughts and a glossary on his speech.

CORRESPONDENT GIVES A GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION OF FALL OF ANTWERP
International News Service.
London.-A correspondent writing from Bergen-op-Zoom, Holland, gives a vivid description of the entry of the German army into Antwerp.
The bulk of the kaiser's force did not enter the city until Saturday afternoon, when 60,000 men passed in review before General von Schultz, military governor of Antwerp, and Admiral von Schroeder, who, surrounded by a glittering staff, sat their horses in front of the royal palace in the Place de Meir.
"For five hours the mighty host poured through the streets of the deserted city, while the houses shook to the thunder of their tread," he writes. "Company after company, regiment after regiment, brigade after brigade, swept past until the eye grew weary of watching the ranks of gray under slanting lines of steel.
"As they marched they sang, the canyon formed by the high buildings along the Place de Meir echoing to their voices roaring out 'Die Wacht am Rhein' and 'A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.'
**Like an Election Parade.**
"Each regiment was headed by its field music and colors, and when darkness fell and street lamps were lighted the shrill music of fites, the rattle of drums and the tramp of marching feet reminded me of a torchlight election parade.
"Hard on the heels of the infantry rumbled artillery, battery after battery.
"Behind the field batterles rumbled the quick firers—the same pompoms whose acquaintance I had made at Weerde and elsewhere. And then, heralded by a blare of trumpets and a crash of kettledrums, came the cavalry, cuirassiers in helmets and breastplates of burnished steel, hussars in begged jackets and fur busbles, and finally the uhlans, riding amid forests of lances under a cloud of fluttering pennons.
"But this was not all, nor nearly all, for after the uhlans came the blue jackets of the naval division, broadshouldered, bewhiskered fellows, with caps worn rakishly and a roll of the sea in their gait.
"Then the Bavarian infantry in dark blue, the Saxon infantry in light blue, and Austrians in uniforms of beautiful silver gray, and last of all a squadron of gendarmes in silver and bottle green.
"As that fighting machine swung past I could not but marvel at how the gallant, chivalrous and courageous but ill-prepared little army of Belgium had held it back as long as it had.
Few See Entry.
"The most remarkable feature of this wonderful spectacle was that there were comparatively few persons to see it. So far as onlookers were concerned the Germans might as well have marched through the streets of Pompeii. Another American and I, standing on the balcony of the American consulate, were the only spectators, so far as I know, in the whole length of the Place de Meir, which is the State street of Antwerp. It reminded me of a circus that had come to town a day before it was expected." A feature of the procession was a victoria drawn by a fat white horse and with two soldiers on the box, which accompanied a regiment of Bavarians. Both horse and carriage were decorated with flowers. It was evidently a species of triumphal chariot, for it was filled with hampers of champagne.
Pay for What They Take.
The correspondent says the German soldiers treat the townpeople with consideration, paying in German silver for what they take from the shops. Describing the fear of the Antwerp citizens when the kaiser's soldiers entered, the correspondent says:
"When the main body of troops began entering the city on Saturday morning the townpeople—those who had not escaped from the city—rushed out with beer, cheese, bread and flowers, evidently with the idea of placating them by means of their pitiful little offerings. It was not a pleasant sight, but these people have been so terrified by tales of German barbarities that one can hardly blame them."
The correspondent estimates that less than one hundred civilians were killed during the bombardment.
Havoc Wrought by Shells.
Telling of the rain of shells which swept the city, he says:
"A 42-centimeter shell tore completely through a handsome stone house next door to United States Consul General Diederich's residence, crossed the street and exploded in the upper story of a school. There is not a block in the Boulevard Leopold that does not contain several shattered houses. No buildings were damaged in Place de Meir, though three shells struck the pavement, tearing holes as large as a grand piano.
"A shell entered the roof of the Hotel St. Antoine, passed through two bathrooms and exploded in the room occupied 48 hours before by the Russian minister, destroying everything in it.
Cathedral Struck.
"The cathedral was struck only by one shell, which entered through the wall over the western entrance and exploded over the side chapel. The American Express company's offices on the Qual van Dyck were slightly
damaged. A shell struck the house occupied by an American named Hunt and the Dutch consul and blew the entire second floor into smithereens.
"A Zeppelin hovered over the city during Thursday morning's bombardment, dropping occasional bombs.
"Though the German shrapnel created enough havoc, it was child's play compared to the damage done by the siege guns. When a 42-centimeter shell struck a house it not merely blew a hole in it, it simply demolished it, the whole house collapsing into ruin as if shaken to pieces by an earthquake."
Almost as much damage was caused by fires resulting from the bombardment as from the shells themselves. The entire west side of the Marcheux Souliers from the head of the Place de Meir to the Place Verte, including the Hotel de Europe, the Cafe Royale and a line of fashionable shops opposite the Hotel St. Antoine, was destroyed. A quarter of a mile of buildings in the Rue van Bree, including the handsomest apartments in the city, are nothing but charred walls. The handsome block in the Rue de la Justice is completely burned. In addition several hundred dwellings scattered through the city have been burned to the ground.
Dynamite Saves Cathedral.
Dynamite Saves Cathedral. As the city is without water, except such as can be pumped from the river, the firemen were powerless to check the flames. That every building on the Place Verte and very probably the cathedral itself, was not burned is due to an American resident, Charles Whithoff, who, realizing the extreme gravity of the situation, suggested to the German military authorities that they dynamite the surrounding buildings. At ten o'clock at night word was sent to Brussels and at four o'clock in the morning six automobiles with dynamite arrived and the walls were blown up, the German soldiers standing on the roofs of neighboring buildings and throwing dynamite bombs. "It was a lively night for every one concerned," says the writer.
"I was just sitting down to my first meal in 30 hours when the police burst in with the news the city was burning," he goes on. "I found an entire block opposite the hotel in flames, and as there was no water the firemen were powerless to check them. When I discovered the block immediately behind the hotel was also ablaze, it struck me it was time to change my quarters.
"After wandering through pitchblack streets for three hours, slipping on broken glass and stumbling over fallen masonry, and occasionally challenged by German sentries, I saw a light in a building in the Boulevard Leopold. I rang the bell and was taken in by a poor little consumptive bookkeeper.
Takes Over Consulate.
Takes Over Consulate.
"Upon calling at the consulate in the morning I found that Consul General Diederich and Vice-Consul Sherman had left two days before for parts unknown. As there was a large number of frightened people clamoring for reassurance and protection, and as there was no one else to look after them, I opened the consulate and assumed charge.
"The proceeding was wholly irregular and unauthorized, of course, and will probably scandalize department of state officials in Washington, but it was no time for red tape.
"I immediately wrote a letter to the German commander, informing him that in the absence of the consul general I had assumed charge of the American and British interests in Antwerp and expected the fullest protection. I received a courteous reply immediately, saying that every protection would be afforded foreigners."
USE WALKING WOOD IN
ATTACK UPON GERMANS
London.—A correspondent describes a walking wood at Crecy. The French and British cut down trees and armed themselves with the branches. Line after line of infantry, each man bearing a branch, then moved forward unobserved toward the enemy. Behind them, amid the lopped tree trunks, the artillerymen fixed themselves and placed 13-pounders to cover the moving wood.
The attack, which followed, won the success it merited. It almost went wrong, however, for the French cavalry, which was following, made a detour to pass the wood and dashed into view near the ammunition reserves of the allies.
German shells began falling there abouts, but British soldiers went up the hills and pulled the boxes of ammunition out of the way of the German shells. Ammunition and men came through unscathed. By evening the enemy had been cleared from the Marne district.
Cathedral Lost to Art.
Paris.—The artistic beauty of the cathedral at Reims, which suffered in the German bombardment of that town, never can be restored, in the opinion of Whitney Warren, the New York architect, who has just returned from Reims, where he made a thorough inspection of the famous structure. Mr. Warren, who is a corresponding member of the Institute de France, was given the privilege of visiting the cathedral.

THE WOMAN
Small Girl's Outfit for Cold Weather
5
THE long, protecting "rain or shine" coat, made to meet the exigencies of travel or life in the out-of-doors, is cut on simple lines.
One of the most practical of these coats is pictured here. It hangs straight on the figure. The needed fullness at the bust line is provided for by two small plaits on each shoulder. This is taken up from the swell of the bust down in a stitched-in plait at each side of the front, the plaits extending below the normal waist-line for at least six inches.
The coat is open at the throat, but without revers. The neck is finished with a small sailor collar and the sleeves with turnback cuffs. Bone buttons are used for fastening and as a decorative feature on the cuffs.
Coats of this kind are made with skirts to match. The latter, severely plain and straight, are worn with blouses of thin wash silk, pongee or sheer wash fabrics. These coats and skirts require firmly woven rainproof goods in quiet staple colors. Either can be worn without the other, and the coat is designed to do duty wherever a separate coat is needed.
Small Girl's Outfit
SHOPPING for the requirements of the little girl develops the knowledge that she may be provided with almost as many dress accessories as are designed for her mother.
In anticipation of wintry weather the little maid in the picture is about to be outfitted with warm clothing in which she may defy the cold for one thing and look pretty and well cared for, for another.
In outside garments she is first supplied with a heavy, close-knitted sweatercoat. It is finished with turn back collar and cuffs and a knitted belt and is almost as warm as fur. The color is a rich red, about the best choice and the most pleasing to the little wearer. The collar may be rolled up about the neck and the cuffs brought well down over the hands to protect the wrists. For daily wear this is the ideal garment.
The little Scotch cap to be worn
In some of the new models these coats are cut with a flaring skirt set onto a shorter bodice in the style of the Russian coat. Others, of heavier fabrics, are cut double-breasted, in long-waisted designs having an inverted plait at each side to give a slight flare to the skirt part. In these the sleeves are large and straight with turnback cuffs. Turnover collars that may be brought up snugly and tightly about the neck make this a warmer garment than open-throated models. This is best for the automobile.
One of the most modish of coats belongs in the redingote class. It is constructed with an easy-fitting long-sleeved jacket to which a plaited skirt is set on. This terminates at each side three inches, or a little more, from the front of the jacket, to which it is attached under a belt of folded satin. There is a rolling collar of velvet and narrow cuffs of it, both finished with a silk braid. The jacket is fastened with large barrel-shaped buttons at the front. When a skirt to match any of these utility coats is needed it is cut in the straight-line style and the requisite fullness given with inverted plaits.
for Cold Weather
with this or any other coat is of black and red velvet bound and trimmed with black silk braid. The crown is a long puff of black velvet, and the bands about it at each side are of red lined with black and finished with a binding of black silk braid. These bands are extended at the back, where they are cut into two tabs which are turned down and fall over the hair. At the front the bands are also turned back and the points tacked down. Small bows of the black silk braid used in the binding are placed at the middle of the front and back.
Knitted caps or hoods for school and for outdoor play and mittens to take the place of the muff, are to be provided. Freedom to play keeps an active child warm in ordinary cold weather without the fur sets which are not expected to stand a great deal of hard service.
