PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY The President And Segregaion VOL. XX1. (From The Evening Post New York.) Bad manners are bound to hurt even a good cause, and the last place where disrespect is to be tolerated is the White House. If William Monroe Trotter was as appears, insolent to Mr. Wilson recently, he has impaired his advocacy of the rights of the colored people and hurt them all as well. But Mr. Wilson, we feel, should make allowances, not perhaps for the hasty temper of a man whose passionate desire for justice for his race often leads him astray, but because of the genuine wrongs of which Mr. Trotter complains. It is a sad blot upon the Wilson Administration that it has tolerated, nay, drawn the color line, without real cause, save, as Mr. Trotter truthfully put it, the racial antipathies of Messrs. Burleson, John Skelton Williams, and McAdoo. For an Administration which talks about a New Freebom and boasts of having bestowed a new liberty upon business men, not only to be blind to the wrongs of full ten millions of American citizens, but to add to them is truly discouraging. Mr. Wilson can feel keenly for the governmental wrongs of the "submerged 85 per cent." of the people of Mexico, of whom so many are Indians and of mixed parentage, but he has yet to say a really sympathetic word about the wrongs of the millions in the South who are without voice in their own government. The difficulty lies, of course, in putting yourself in the other fellow's place, in having some appreciation of what it means to be the victim of prejudice and injustice, to be wronged without the power to remedy the wrong. That Mr. Wilson is unable to visualize this is, we repeat, the more disappointing because there are so many injured persons with whom he does sympathize so understandingly. His unusual vision and imagination leave him, however, when it comes to the disfranchisement of women and to permitting his subordinates to inflict indignities upon American citizens in the immediate vicinity of the White House. If he could only be one of the submerged 10 per cent. of our people in Washington for forty-eight hours he could never have palliated the wrong done, as he is reported to have, by saying that segregation was enforced for the comfort and best interests of the races, in order to overcome friction. He would know them ```markdown ``` that it makes neither for the comfort nor the best interest of the races, but invariably leads to added friction, creates deep and lasting unhappiness among the segregated. This problem has vexed him and caused him heartache more than once in his Administration, and it will not cease to plague him until he lays down the law that sets up equality of treatment of all employees in the Government service. Again, Mr. Wilson is reported to have resented Mr. Trotter's statement that if this discrimination were not ended, the Negroes who voted for him would vote the Republican ticket, and to have declared that this was "political blackmail." But this is the time-honored American way of showing disapproval of an elective official's conduct. When Mr. Wilson was a candidate for President in 1912, he declared: "Should I become President of the United States, they (the colored people) may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything by which I could assist in advancing the interest of their race in the United States." On the strength of this many colored people and their white friends advocated Mr. Wilson's cause, who would rather have cut off their hands than have aided Mr Wilson if they had known that he was intending to draw the color line in the departments upon the excuse that their is a certain point in the relations of the races where friction must occur. To them that is neither absolute fair dealing nor advancing their cause, but putting it back, because it sets the stamp of governmental approval upon color prejudice. To expect after this that the problem can be kept out of politics, as Mr. Wilson is quoted as urging, is to expect the impossible. With Mr. Wilson's feelings as to the ultimate solution of the Negro problem, we are not to day concerned. He may or may not have a constructive program to suggest. The issue is simply whether a hateful East Indian caste shall be established in Washington or not. We had supposed, after the investigations of last winter, that the vicious policy had been checked; we understood that it was to be abandoned gradually. In numerous instances the Jim-Crowing had, we know, been stopped. The more discouraging is it to find the President apparently upholding what the World justly calls "foolish indiscretions of members of his Cabinet." There was no DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. NOVEMBER 28 1914 State Hist & Nat Hist Hocesg State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO S genuine complaint as to the conditions in Washington. Colored and white employees had worked side by side for fifty years. Some of them had been appointed by Grover Cleveland—one of his appointees to high place being the father of Mr. Trotter, a veteran of the Fifty-fifth Masrachusetts. But the Wilson administration went out of its way to create the issue it now deplores, and cannot see its way clear to admitting its mistake and reverting to the, only defensible position of absolute equality in the Government service. The way to deal with race prejudice in such matters is not to enhance it by yielding, but resolutely to confront it with a refusal to give in. It is surprising how often prejudice fades away in a given situation when it finds itself wholly blocked. It is even more surprising how frequently it is merely a state of mind. Often there is no objection whatever to the presence of colored people on the most familiar terms, provided their position is clearly stamped as menial; let them suddenly aspire to equal privileges, and those same people become at once too offensive to be permitted to breathe the same atmosphere. The situation in Washington would be restored in a twinkling to the old and absolutely satisfactory status if the highest authority were simply to lay down the law that there was going to be a square deal for everybody in the departments without the slightest discrimination; that there can be only one class of public servants—all to be treated with courtesy, consideration, and absolute justice. SUPREME COURT CONSIDERING LAWS TO DISFRANCHISE NEGROES SUPREME COURT CONSIDERING LAWS TO DISFRANCHISE NEGROES Washington, Nov. 7—The last word on existing legislation as to "grandfather clause" provision and other methods of depriving Negroes of the ballot is to be handed down during the present session of the United States Supreme Court. The decisions will be fraught with more importance to the Negro than any in a quarter of a century, it is declared, since the country will know of the success or failure of various ingenious means that are alleged to have been adopted both in the North and South to take from the Negro a position of equality with the white man. The "grandfather clause" method of restricting the right of the Negro to vote has been the most popular of all the late attempts of the South to nullify the guarantee of the right to vote contained in the fifteenth amendment to the Federal Constitution. In short, --- persons are barred from voting if their grandfathers were not eligible to vote in their day. The Oklahoma wording of this "clause" is generally typical of those adopted in other states, and it is one of those before the court for consideration. It provides a reading and writing qualification for voting in the State, but excepts from its operation those who were eligible to vote in 1866, or whose ancestors were eligible to vote in any state in the Union or any foreign country in that year. TEST CASE ON "JIM CROW" LAW. The validity of the most farreaching Jim Crow law ever pressed will be determined in the Oklahoma case, brought by E. P. McCabe and several other Negroes against the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Co., and other railroad companies to test the validity of the law, which requires separate waiting rooms and ca service for Negroes engaged in travel within the State, also for Negroes making interstate journeys in Oklahoma. The State defends its action on the ground that the act was designed to preserve peace and order, and this is just as necessary on an interstate journey as an interstate one. The Oklahoma courts upheld the validity of the law, despite the fact that it does not require sleeping car facilities to be furnished to Negroes barred from sleeping cars provided for the whites. They declared this was not a substantial discrimination, because there was no demand among Negroes for sleeping car accommodations, which would justify separate sleeping cars for them. In one of the first cases argued to the court, the Federal Government will seek to strike down a form of alleged peonage to which blacks in Alabama are being subjected by plantation owners with the aid of the local courts. AN "UNWRITTEN LAW" CASE From Texas comes a case of the court in which a Negro sets up a claim to the "unwritten law" on an equality with the white man. It is the case in which Carl Oliver was convicted of having murdered a white man whom he found in the company of his wife. Oliver claims that the court which tried him erred in not instructing the jury that under the laws of Texas and the United States a Negro is entitled to the same rights or protection as to the defending of the honor of his home as a white man would be in the circumstances. Oliver also claims that there was an unlawful discrimination in the selection of the grand jury which indicted him in that Negroes were not eligible for selection. John B.

It is located in the business section of the city and when complete will in every way compare with the other buildings that surround it. The twelfth, thirteenth and fourteenth rounds showed Langford winning. His speed, judgment and blinding force allowed him to play with Wills. The final blow was keenly delivered after a torrent of right hooks and drives made Wills groggy. Macon, Ga.,—Nov. 12.—The Colored State Fair just closed here was a grand success. The farmers of eight Georgia counties sent exhibits. One of the features of the fair was the street parade on the day of the opening. In this procession were assembled floats representative of the colored man's progress in all lines of endeavor, and particularly his skill as a farmer and mechanic. All of Macon's colored school children were in line. There was a midway of over a score of splendid attractions. There was a large attendance of colored people from all parts of the state Low rates were given by the railroads. The fair was held in the grounds and buildings of the Georgia State Fair. LANGFORD DOWN FOUR TIMES; KNOCKS OUT WILLS IN FOURTEENTH Los Angeles, Nov. 26.—Sam Langford of Boston knocked out Harry Wills of New Orleans in the fourteenth round of what was to be a twenty-round affair at Vernon arena here today. A left swing to the jaw half way through the round turned the trick. Langford in the two opening rounds hurt his left ankle as he fell to the mat in a vicious breakaway. Twice in each of these rounds Langford took the benefit of the count of nine. Wills' effective straight-arm drives gave him an apparent even break in most of the rounds. Langford fought with an alert swiftness and a superior knowledge of the game that gradually wore out Wills. As the soreness wore out of Langford's injured ankle he kept pace with the shifty Wills in leg work. who died in 1912, alongside his children interred within the cemetery. From 1890 to 1896, the Gaskills buried four children in the Forest Hill cemetery. Then in 1907, the cemetery officials adopted a resolution barring the bodies of colored persons who owned no lots in the cemetery, from burial therein.—Post Despatch.

The final blow was keenly delivered after a torrent of right hooks and drives made Wills groggy. COLORED PEOPLE AND THE DRUG HABIT. It has been widely reported that the colored people in the South are the main consumers of habit-forming drugs such as morphine, cocaine, etc., and therefore the more welcome is a report in the American Journal of Public Health by Dr. C. E..Terry, health officer of Jacksonville, Fla., which gives the facts concerning a fairly typical southern city. Dr. Terry obtained his information in a novel way. He secured the passage of an ordinance regulating the sale of cocaine and opium, one section of which provided that habitual users could obtain free of charge prescriptions for the drugs from the health officer at his discretion. Thus every excuse for illicit sales was removed, and the victims were brought into personal contact with Dr. Terry himself. The data thus secured show that in a city of something over 28,000 inhabitants, there are 646 drug-users. Contrary to the general belief, there are fewer Negroes than whites. Jacksonville has about equal numbers of both, but the white drug habitues number 616, the Negroes only 230. Women outnumber men, 380 against 266. Morphine heads the list with 37.6 per cent of all cases. Cocaine comes next with 26.7 per cent; then other forms of opium, laudanum, 18.8 per cent; heroin, 4.4 per cent; gum opium, 2.2 per cent, and finally 10.3 per cent who use both morphine and cocaine. Negroes are the largest users of cocaine, whites of morphine. We are very grateful to Dr. Terry for giving to the world the facts which show that the Negro is not the principal consumer of these dangerous drugs.—New York Age. A few weeks ago one of the daily papers of this city had quite a writeup of the people who are drug fiends in this city. Morphine-users headed the list, then came opium, cocaine, heroin and morphine. Very few colored people of Denver are addicted to the drug habit, ANOTHER BLOODY BATTLE IS STAGED WEST OF WARSAW Slavs Say They Have Stopped an Austro-German Advance on the Polish Capital With Big Losses. WESTERN AREA QUIET Cold and Fatigue, Flooded Trenches and Mudbound Guns Hinder the Operations in Northern France and Belgium. (Summary of Events.) The Russians have won an important battle with the Germans between the Vistula and Warta rivers in Poland. Danger of the capture of Warsaw, capital of the vast territory, is once more dissipated by this victory. About a week ago the Russians had driven the Austro-German army about 150 miles southwest of Warsaw. Then the Teutonic Allies turned on their pursuers. So sudden and fierce was the attack that the Russians retreated. They were followed by the Germans who pushed the center of the long Slav fighting line to a point within fifty miles of Warsaw. There another battle has been staged—this one between the rivers. Another Russian army is operating along the border of East Prussia, and a third one is pursuing a vigorous campaign in northern Austria. It was said by military experts that the purpose of the Austro-German attack and pursuit of the Russian center was to draw off the second and third armies from East Prussia and Galicia. What these lesser Slav forces are doing has not been revealed. Veil of Secrecy. The veil of secrecy has been drawn over the battles between the Russians and the Austro-German forces. The headquarters of both armies now are confining themselves to the briefest statements concerning the hostilities, saying merely that fighting is in progress. News coming from unofficial sources however, shows that the German advance has penetrated further into Poland than had been disclosed previously and that Warsaw is threatened for a second time. General Von Hindenburg's army has advanced as far as the Lowicz-Skierniewice line, which means that the Germans have covered two-thirds of the ground to the Polish capital, from which they are now only forty miles distant. Farther south in Poland, however, the Teuton allies are said to have been repulsed between Radom and Kielce. Continue Galician Advance. The battle in East Prussia seems to have died down, but the Russians continue to advance in Galicia and still are fighting on the Czenstochowa-Cracow front. The battle in Poland in the direction of Lowicz is the most critical one and, while the Germans have the greatest confidence in General, Von Hindenburg since his defeat of the Russian general, Von Rennenkampf, in East Prussia, here, and in Petrograd military observers express the opinion that Russia's overwhelming superiority in numbers of men again must tell, as was the case when the Germans made their first attack on Warsaw. Przemysl About to Fall. A dispatch from Petrograd says that it is announced there that the siege of Przemysl appears to be rapidly approaching its end. The trenches surrounding the fortifications are in the possession of the Russian troops. Many of the trenches are filled with lime, confirming statements of prisoners that cholera is raging in the garrison of Przemysl. [Image of a man in a military uniform with a cap and a badge.

GRAND DUKE NICOLAS Commander-in-chief of the Russian army in the field. Austrians Tell of Success. Reports from Vienna tell of successes in Galicia, including the occupation by the Teutonic allies of Tarnow and Wieliczka. According to these reports seven thousand prisoners were taken. Kieliczka is the most westerly point reached by the Russians on their advance on Cracow. Russians In Galicia Russians in Galicia. In Galicia, before Cracow and in East Prussia, the Russians are pushing their advantage, apparently disregarding the fact that their center has been compelled to fall back. They also are showing much activity in the Carpathians, their object being to prevent the Austrians from retiring into Hungary—in fact, it is stated that they already have cut off eight hundred thousand Austrians, who will now be compelled, if defeated, to retreat westward. Big German Army in Poland. The advance of the Germans from Thorn into Poland is being made in great force. The greatest German strength is to be concentrated on this line. Fighting of the most desperate character has been in progress and heavy losses have been suffered by both sides. Germans Shell Libau. "German cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers bombarded the naval harbor here for more than four hours," says a Libau, Russia, correspondent. "Several factories were damaged and a petroleum reservoir was shelled and destroyed by fire. The railway station and some houses in the poorer parts of the town also suffered. The Germans sank several small cargo steamers at the entrance to the harbor. Five persons were killed by the shells, including a woman and over thirty persons were wounded." Cold and Fatigue The extreme cold weather and the exhaustion of the troops engaged have vitually brought the battle in Flanders and France to a standstill. A desultory artillery duel continues at some points along the wide front and there has been an occasional infantry attack, but for the last five days the fighting has been mild compared with the fierceness of that which for more than a month preceded it. Both Sides Best The Germans, it is evident, have sent their best troops to the eastern front and even in big guns the allies appear to have the advantage over them. There are no signs, however, of an offensive on a large scale on the part of the allies, who doubtless are as badly in need of rest as their opponents. In fact, it is stated that the officers and men who have borne the brunt of the fighting in the trenches are being given a short leave. Freezing in Belgium. Freezing weather has set in throughout the length of the battle zone in France and Belgium, the temperature varying between 25 and 28 degrees above zero Fahrenheit. Snow is falling especially in Northern France and in the Vosges mountains and also at Marselles. French Silence German Guns. French forces have captured the heights of Ornes near Verdun and silenced two German batteries, according to official dispatches to the French embassy. Losing Guns in Mud. Many heavy guns have been lost by the Germans in the floods in Flanders. The official French communique in stating this declares that the artillery fire from the coast to the Lys has slackened somewhat. Snow is again falling in Flanders and the bad weather prevented any infantry attacks being made by the Germans. The Germans followed up their advantage at Chauvancourt in the region of St. Mihiel and have reoccupied the village. Turks Are Winning Fast. Official reports given out in Constantinople relate the continued successful Turkish advance upon Batum, the Russian port on the Black Sea. All the territory between the Turko-Russian border and the River Chursk is in Turkish hands, while a Turkish force in the southern part of this territory has taken Artwin. The Turks declare that the English losses at Shatt-el-Arab amounted to 750 dead and several thousand wounded. Russtan Port Bombarded. The Turkish cruiser Hamidieh, followed by a flotilla of torpedo boats, appeared off Tauhse, Russia, and opened fire, hurling 125 projectiles into the neighborhood. The Russian artillery immediately replied with a very effective fire. An official Turkish statement says that the Turkish troops have reached the Suez Canal. In fighting near El Kantara the English suffered heavy losses and took flight. Turks Far Into Egypt. Turkish troops have occupied Kalatulah, seventy-five miles beyond the Egyptian frontier, an official Turkish statement declares. Riot in Constantinople. The British embassy in Constantinople has been sacked and the Russian hospital pillaged and all foreigners have been more or less seriously abused. May Attack Italy. The Italian government is aware that Austria is doing its utmost to induce Turkey to attack Italy, but none the less hesitates to believe the report that has just come in from one of its most reliable agents that common action of the combined Austro-Turkish squadron is to be expected against Italy at a very early date. BLOW UP BRITISH SHIP BULWARK MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION OF BATTLESHIP HURLS BITS OF WRECKAGE SIX MILES. ONLY 14 OF 736 SAVED EIGHTY THOUSAND GERMANS REPORTED CORNERED IN POLAND BY RUSSIANS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Nov. 27.—The British battle ship Bulwark was blown up Thursday morning off Sheerness. Only 14 of a crew numbering 750 men were saved. The explosion is believed to have occurred in her forward magazine. Whether it was caused by accident or design is a question to be determined by the commission which has been appointed to investigate. The neighborhood was strewn with an enormous amount of wreckage, while pieces of ship were thrown six or seven miles on to the Essex shore. The Bulwark, which was one of the older battleships, cost $5,000,000.00 London.—The Russian general staff still is withholding the details of the victory which all other dispatches from Petrograd say the Russians have won over the German forces which penetrated Poland. The Germans, on the other hand, claim they have inflicted heavy losses on the Russians tween Lodz and Lowicz. The Germans who advanced from the north and south, these military observers add, doubtless intended to seize the railway between Skierniewice and Piotrkow and interrupt communication between the northern and southern Russian armies, but that Grand Duke Nicholas, with the enormous number of men at his command, was able to sandwich them and direct his attacks from all points except due west. The Grand Duke, Russia's great tactician and military genius, is given credit for the terrific defeat administered the Germans, and, by his success, stands in the forefront of the war's guiding generals. It is said in Petrograd that one, if not two, German corps, or 80,000 men, are almost completely enveloped and that they are making a desperate effort to fight their way out to the north. Semi-official advices received at Petrograd show that the German defeat at Lodz, culminating in the capture of one German army corps, was the result of a Russian maneuver by which the Germans were led into an inextricable trap. The Russian left wing resting on the river Warta and the Russian wing on the Vistula moved forward in unison. Simultaneously the Russian center gave ground and the Germans followed, apparently relying upon a German column from Wielun to repulse the Russian left wing. The plan failed as a result of the battle on Nov. 25 when the force from Wielun was repulsed. Thereafter the Russian wings advanced and closed the gap through which the German center had passed. The Russians are said to be continuing their advances through the Carpathians in western Galicia and against Cracow, and Prof. Bernard Pares, the British government's representative with the Russian headquarters staff, says the Muscovite forces are forming a half-circle around East Prussia to avoid the well-fortified and difficult Mazurian Lake region. Except for artillery fighting, the battle in the west remains virtually at a standstill. LOOK FOR BLACK HAND GANG. Wyoming Sheriff Increases Force to Guard August Carollo. Kemmerer. — Three extra deputy sheriffs have been employed by Sheriff Edward Hansen to guard the home and person of August J. J. Carollo, a wealthy citizen of Diamondville, a neighboring coal camp, from Black Handers who threaten to kill him unless he pays a ransom of $5,000. Carollo first was threatened in August, and then reported the matter to the sheriff's office. Secrecy was maintained in the hope that the blackmailers might be captured, but they were too shrewd to be caught, and as soon as the guards then assigned to watch Carollo and his property had been discharged, renewed their threats. Threatening letters have been received by Carollo at intervals since, and now the sheriff has decided to guard him indefinitely. The letters threatening the Diamondville man are not sent by mail, but are delivered at his home or place of business through some mysterious agency. Carranza to March on Capital Carranza to march on Capital. Vera Cruz, Mex.—The occupation of Mexico City by the forces of General Zapata and the apparent understanding that has been reached between that southern leader and General Villa appear to be pleasing rather than otherwise to General Carranza's supporters here, who, it is supposed, reflect Carranza's opinion. In general the plan now will be to besiege Zapata and Villa, cutting every railroad and starving them into surrender if possible, but forcing their capitulation at that point in any way necessary. 18 DIE,43 SAVED FROM SHIPWRECK SCHOONER HONALEI POUNDED TO PIECES ON DUXBURY REEF OUTSIDE GOLDEN GATE. ALL HEROES IN WRECK NOT EVEN A WOMAN WHIMPERED AND CREW BRAVED PERILS IN DARING RESCUES. San Francisco, Calif.—Forty-three survivors had been rescued Tuesday night from the wrecked wooden steamer Hanalei, which went ashore, in a dense fog, on Duxbury reef, nine miles north of the Golden Gate, and was shivered to splinters by the pounding surf. Eighteen dead had been either washed ashore at Bolinas, just east of the dreaded reef, or brought to port by the United States revenue cutter McCulloch and the navy tug Iroquois. How many are missing never will be accurately known, for the best available passenger list in the company's possession gives 28 passengers and 26 crew, a total of 54 souls, whereas the known dead and saved number 61. These figures do not include two life savers, washed ashore alive, and three missing. Their boat was swamped. The heroism of Sydney Ashton, chief steward of the Hanalei, was given official recognition by Mayor Rolph, who called at the emergency hospital and offered his congratulations to the man. Ashton was completely exhausted when he was saved. When the Hanalei began to break up, Ashton strapped to his back the 15-months-old baby of Mrs. Val. Franz, a passenger, and swam to a piece of wreckage. He also managed to get Mrs. Franz upon the wreck, and then for four hours he fought to prevent the mother and child from being swept away by the waves. Mrs. Franz managed to cling to the wreckage until picked up by a lifeboat, but just as safety was at hand, a huge comber swept the baby away. Speaking from a cot in the emergency hospital, J. F. Mason, a survivor, said: "Everybody on board, every member of the crew, and every passenger, was a hero. Not even the women whimpered once. They stood in a group, one woman with a baby in her arms, and took their fate stoically." When the Hanalei began to break up, Captain Carey ordered all the passengers and the crew to climb on pieces of wreckage. All of the women and the two wireless operators, Lovejoy and Svendon, climbed on top of the pilot house. As the vessel broke up the pilot house floated towards shore, but a large timber crashed against it, throwing all of those on it into the water. This was the last seen of Lovejoy and Svendon. One of the last persons to be saved was Captain Carey. He floated ashore with a pile of wreckage and was found unconscious under it. That only four sailors on board the Hanalei could both row and swim was the statement of Elwood Schwerin, one of the members of the crew who survived. WILL NOT REQUEST RECEIVER. President Has Not Been Asked to Remove Troops From Coal Fields. Washington.—President Wilson will not adopt the suggestion of the American Federation of Labor that steps be taken to have a receiver appointed for the Colorado coal mines involved in the strike with the purpose of having them operated by the federal government. The President told callers Tuesday that he had been informed by Secretary Wilson of the Department of Labor that the solicitor of that department has given an opinion that there would be no legal warrant for the operation of the mines by the government. The President added that so far he had received no suggestions from Governor Ammons that the federal troops should be withdrawn. Ask Delay in Strike Investigation. Denver.—A telegram, signed by Governor Ammons and Governor-Elect Carlson, was sent Tuesday to Chairman Walsh of the Industrial Relations Committee at Kansas City, requesting that the committee postpone the investigation into the industrial conditions of this state scheduled to begin Dec. 1. A copy of the telegram was sent to President Wilson. It is understood a request for the removal of the federal troops from Colorado is in the hands of the President and that their withdrawal will be accomplished before Dec. 10. President Completes Message Washington.—The President has practically completed the message he will read to Congress, but will put a few refinishing touches to the document during his stay in Williamstown. He discussed the message with members of his Cabinet. Escaped Convict Lynched. Shiloh, S.

The flurry caused by the attack of British aviators on the Zepplin headquarters at Friederichshafen has not yet subsided, and the amount of comment on this incident appearing in both the German and the English newspapers seems to be out of all proportion to the real damage inflicted. Lists of subscriptions to the greatest war loan in history, amounting to £350,000,000 sterling ($1,750,000,000), or more than half the total of the British national debt, were closed in London and the loan, it is freely stated, will be a great success, although no official figures are available.

SMALL FARM PROFITS UNIRRIGATED TRACTS YIELD OCCUPANTS GOOD INCOME. From $1,000 to $1,500 Clear Reported in Many Instances from Gardens and Produce. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver. -Small unirrigated farms near Denver have returned large profits during the 1914 season, and an increasing demand for these tracts is noticeable in the local market, according to realty men. With relatively small investments, farmers are reporting revenues ranging from $1,000 to $1,200 and $1,500 a year, against which they are obliged to make no charge for the support of themselves and their families, milk, butter, eggs, garden truck and, in many cases, beef and pork being produced on their own property for home consumption. Even farmers who are renting their places are doing well, according to reports received by C. R. Stedman, chairman of the special advertising committee of the Real Estate exchange. One farmer who lives thirteen miles northeast of Denver, on an unirrigated farm of 120 acres on which he pays an annual rental of $150, reported a revenue for the year of $1,050. He has raised ten acres of beets, which will net $20 an acre or about $200; forty acres of corn which will net $800 through feedling or about $40 an acre, and about $200 worth of eggs from 100 chickens. In addition he will have profits from stock which run over the remaining seventy acres of his tract. Last year this farmer lived on an adjoining farm, milked thirty cows, shipped the milk to Denver and received an average income of $150 a month for twelve months, or about $60 per cow per year.

We have always tried to do our best in giving the public the latest and most up-to-date news, endeavoring to lend an inspiration and to give support to those whose ambitions and aspirations ‘re to insure the full recognition as citizens in common with the population of the Great United States of Ainerica. . We are also thankful for the returnithat we get in the shape of support from our subscribers, our merchants who advertise and all others who have given us practical sympathy. Our columns from time to time have presented matters dealing with the welfare of the nation, encouraging religious prin- ciples and never condemning any sect or denomination, aiming and striving to make our people have a full realization of their responsibility in the home, the school, the church and the world at large. In our political faith we have stood to our guns, as we sincerely feel that the Republican party has helped us to maintain our position in the com- munity, and at every opportunity for service we have readily offered our un- stinted support. We are thankful, therefore, for having clung tenaciously to our politics. Seeing, then, that we have received benefits, whether small or great, let us hope that with the coming wave of prosperity, as is highly probable, we may be the beneficiaries of larger proportions, and the mutual actions’ en- gaged in by us may find an echo in the interval between now and the next ‘Thanksgiving, For these and other blessings we must offer our greatest thanks to Him who rules and guides our destinies, OFFICE SEEKERS. oe number of applications for positions under the party coming into power is increasing daily (as we are made to understand) and the problem confronting the elected officials will cause sonfe uneasiness when they are comparatively few positions to be given to the numerous applicants, While we cannot dictate to the heads of the respective departments, yet a suggestion at this time may serve as a reminder so that selections may be made from the ranks of the deserving ones, who have been-and are supporters of the party, It will be impossible to please all the job-seekers now, and those who voted the Republican ticket for the first time after giving a fair trial to the other parties ought not to expect immediate rewards for their present ac- tion. Others who left us when their help was greatly needed to restore us to the position that would be the means of support to the masses have re- turned in this last campaign, and they too feel entitled to some positions when they are to be distributed. Depending therefore upon the fair-minded and honest actions of our officials and believing in their ability to endourage those who ‘cling like the ivy’ to our Republican faith, we have every contl- dence that they will, out of their generosity, give consideration to those who have not only stosd by the party but have made such sacrifices warranting even @ little return for their services. We are aware that the positions offered to the colored voters are very few and that they do not clash with the other side, and so must specially request that the newly elected officials will still retain us in them and possibly add some representative positions, Our willingness, readiness and constant support to the Republican party form a link in its chain that we hope will never be broken, and therefore we feel assured that those.to whom our people were loyal will in turn be loyal to them, demonstrating their gratitude in helping them to become recipients of some of the favors that will be bestowed on the faithful followers, Remember, “like begets like.” PRESIDENT BREAKS FAITH WITH STAUNCH SUPPORTERS. We cannot help from expressing ourselves on this incident which is en- saging the attention of every American, black or white, Republican or Demo- crat, as this offers another proof of the non-keeping of pre-election pledges by candidates or party and especially the Democratic. In our issue of September 5, 1914, in an article, “The Right Way to Vote,” we instructed the people of Colorado to beware of the Democratic party, as while there may be a few who were bound by their integrity to carry out their promises, yet there is so much particularity attached to the color question by the majority that it would actually suppress the minority and cause them to compromise, We were not surprised at President Wilson's recent actions to the delegation of Negroes and specially the leader, Mr. Trotter, editor of the Guardian, as from the time that the segregation order Was issued, shortly after the appointment of Mr, McAdoo as secretary of the treasury, we noted its first result in the resignation of Hon, J. C. Napier (colored) from the position of registrar, and follow ing the various representa- tions made to the President and the evasive measures he indulged in, we concluded that he had lost to his memory the following, which he wrote to Bishop Walters, one of his ardent supporters, during his election campaign: “It is necessary for me to assure my colored fellow-citizens of my earnest wish to see justice done them in every matter, not mere grudging justice, but Justice executed with liberality and cordial good feeling. Every guarantee of our law, every principle of our constitution, commands this, and our sym- pathies should also make it easy. The colored people of the United States have made extraordinary progress towards self-support and usefulness and ought to be encouraged in every possible and proper way. My sympathy with them is of long standing, and I want to assure them through you that hould I become President of the United States, they may count upon me for absolute fair dealing and for everything which I could assist in advancing the interests of their race in the United States.” With the foregoing coming from a source as the President, who is recog- nized as the possessor of Christian virtues, etc., it would appear as if another joke is being meted out to us in the old poetic language of — “A man of words and not of deeds Js like a garden full of weeds,” for if the Chief Executive of the nation, in whose care and keeping the des- tiny of our people lay as regard the amelioration of existing conditions among the races allows himself to be dominated and influenced by his subordinates, who, in spite of the progress made by a certain portion of the population of the country, still engender the hateful and cruel thought of race prejudice, then he cannot expect otherwise than a bold and emphatic denunciation from leaders of the colored people. It is reasonable that Mr. Trotter and his fellow-delegates would be very impresred over the President's action in terming this issue non-political, when he had included in his platform “absolute fair dealing and justice” in electioneering, and after being so ably supported by these men, who enter- tained the idea of a second Abraham Lincoln in the personnel of a Wilson, had given that proclamation and secured a large support for his success. In applying the terms “insolent” and “insulting” to Mr. Trotter in his interview with the President, a lesson that will serve for all time in our ex- istence in this country is this: that the Democratic white man holds himself on a plane so far removed from his Negro fellow-man that however intelll- gent, refined or educated he may be he must humilitate himself to his master (as he terms himself) and whenever he is specially privileged to be in conference with him he must remember his position of half a century ago and cast into utter oblivion all the present-day attributes that go to make a MAN. We need more of such fearless and courageous men, who are not moral cowards, but who will stand for right even if they stand alone. While we are opposed to this action of the President, yet we cannot close without expressing the hope that the eyes of the people are opened, and that Negroes who were unfortunately hookwinked and coerced into voting the Democratic ticket in 1912 will profit by this incident, which will be handed down to posterity and make stronger the great Republican party. From such sympathy of Mr. Wilson and the party he represents, “Good Lord, deliver us.” SHORTER CHAPEL’S NOTES.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS There was a gathering of Negroes in Waco recently that is well calculated to command the attention, the respect and good will of the representative element of the white race. For those colored men and women who were not members of the organization it is an object lesson to inspire them to effort to act well their part in life. We are speaking of the annual meeting of the Farmers' Improvement society of Texas. The session lasted three days. About five hundred members from all over the state were in attendance Surely this is an object lesson full of credit to the colored race and notably to the men who brought this organization into existence and who manage its affairs, who compose its membership. These colored farmers are types of the best element of their race, men who are shaping the future of that race for good. We take pride in that writing of this essentially commendable movement and we can say that the best element of white people in Waco are proud to have the organization meet here. There is additional gratification in the fact that some of the leading spirits have their homes and do business in Waco. This society is the best evidence of what the really worthy and capable Negroes of Texas are doing for the public good. It is as desirable that the Negroes of that class shall prosper and progress as well as the white race—Wade C. Rollins in the Houston Post. The annual convention of the Negro Baptists of Texas was one of the greatest meetings ever held. Devotional exercises at the auditorium, Galveston, were conducted by Rev. A. C. Ray of Bay City. President Campbell introduced Rev. J. E. Ellis, chairman of the church extension board, who delivered a short address and presented Dr. W. R. Tolliver, general secretary of the church extension board, who read his report. The report of the secretary showed great gains over last year. Dr. Ira M. Hendon read the report of the committee on state of the country. President J. W. Strong of Central Texas college delivered an address on "The Possibilities and Future Outlook of Central Texas College." The orphan home board through its secretary, Rev. A. Moore, submitted its report, showing that during the past year $25,000 has been raised for the orphan home. The orphan home board owns 303 acres, valued at Austin at $200 an acre, a stone building erected at a cost of $75,000, and is caring for 200 orphans. St. John orphanage is supposed to be the largest orphanage in the world. The evangelical board, through its secretary, Rev. James S. Anderson, made its report showing that during the past year this board has been instrumental in saving 1,378 souls, and has nearly one thousand dollars. Prof. W. H. Fuller, educational secretary, submitted his report showing that during the past year $48,971 has been raised from all sources. Secretary Fuller's report showed that the Guadalupe district led all of the other districts in raising money, having raised $4,084.12 for the educational work of the state. He showed that the special need of the Baptists of the state was to maintain the Baptist schools of the state, and urged that the ministry of the denomination be trained in denominational schools. In his report of his housing survey of Springfield, Ill., for the Sage foundation, John Iddler of the National Housing association had this to say: rounds association and this to say "In the Negro district bad housing features are among the most serious in the city. This is usual in cities that have Negro districts. Houses are more dilapidated, water supply and toiletls more inadequate, everything in a more run-down, shiftless condition. Part of this may be due to the character and habits of some of the Negro people themselves, in just the same way that bad living conditions among the whites is often due to shiftlessness. But there is no question in the minds of those who have studied Negro housing that a large proportion of these people desire better homes than those they are able to obtain in most of our cities. One who has inspected many Negro homes cannot but be impressed by the evident desire for cleanliness and order, even under the most discouraging conditions. My own impression is that where conditions are approximately equal the homes of Negroes are better kept than those of several nation- It has been asserted that there are only two spots between the Gulf of Mexico and the Bay of Fundy where mountains dip into the sea directly from the water's edge. They are at Mount Desert, on the eastern part of Penobscot bay, and at Camden, on the western part. Illinois will construct 16,000 miles of paved country roads immediately. Colorado streams are to be restocked with trout by the government. Two hundred and forty children and several adults were confirmed by James Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore, at St. Cyprian's Colored Catholic church, Washington, recently. The confirmation ceremony followed the solemn high mass, which was celebrated by Rev. Francis W. Clair, of the Redemptorist Order, of Annapolis. Father Clair was assisted by Rev. James J. O'Connor, of St. Augustine's church, as deacon, and Rev. P. J. Ritchie, assistant pastor of St. Cyprian's church, as subdeacon. The pastor of St. Cyprian's church, Rev. James R. Matthews, was master of ceremonies. Cardinal Gibbons preached the sermon. He instructed the children on the meaning of confirmation, and emphasized the loyalty which those confirmed owe to the church. He urged the instruction of colored children as well as white children in religious matters, and congratulated the pastor upon the work being done in his parish. The procession at the close of the ceremonies was led by the priests, and the children and adults who had been confirmed followed. The priests marched around the church and to the rectory, where Cardinal Gibbons was entertained in the afternoon. Other priests who were present at the ceremony were Mgr James F. Macklin, of St. Paul's church, and Rev. George A. Dougherty, vice-rector of the Catholic university. Cardinal Gibbons expressed his gratitude at having an opportunity to visit St. Cyprian's parish. He was the guest of honor at a dinner given by the pastor of the church, and late in the afternoon took an automobile ride to the Catholic university and other points of interest in Washington. The educational department of the Colored Y. M. C. A. has been opened. Among the new features of the department this year are courses in tailoring, barbering, mechanical drafting and serving. The automobile school will be conducted this year on a larger scale than last year. Among the academic subjects offered are arithmetic, English, penmanship, stenography and typewriting. Among other activities of the educational department are the separate clubs for chauffeurs, porters, janitors, custodians, waiters and the Y. M. C. A. band, orchestra, glee club and quartet. The Live Issue club will continue its work. Classes for working boys will be conducted Friday evening and Saturday morning. Classes for the three-year Bible course were organized with Thomas E. Taylor, Father A. H. Maloney and Rev. W. H. Weaver instructors for the first, second and third year courses respectively. Rev. H. L. Herod will teach a class in the International Sunday school lesson on Thursday evening, which will be open to men and women. On the same evening Rev. John Brice will conduct a personal workers' class. The physical department is also open. Three additional features in the nature of extension work will be attempted. They include a Sunday school basketball league, a public school athletic league and a series of health talks, to be conducted by city physicians. The boys' department opened with a large membership. — Indianapolis News. In 1913 Denmark sent 13,093 persons to settle in the United States. alties among our recent immigrants. "But the Negro suffers under severe handicaps. He is usually segregated, if not by law then by custom, in one of the poorest part of town. Being so confined, he is more easily exploited by his landlord who inclines to give less and charge more than he would in the case of white tenants. I was told that this is the condition in Springfield, although my stay was so short as not to allow the statement. If it is, Springfield is not unique; the same situation is to be found in other cities. But that is no excuse for letting it continue. Nor should the white citizens of Springfield persuade themselves that to improve housing conditions in the Negro district will be a purely altruistic endeavor. We have learned enough in the past few years to know that if any part of the city suffers the other parts will suffer with it. Disease and immorality in the Negro district will have its effect as far away as the extreme borders of the community. To safeguard itself Springfield must set minimum housing standards that shall apply to every dwelling in the city." The longer I live the more I am convinced that after all the one thing worth living for and dying for is the privilege of making some being more happy and more useful.

Governors Ammons and Carlson Are Pledged Loyalty by Members of Colorado Militia Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver. — Governor Ammons and Governor-elect Carlson emphasized the need of a united citizenship behind the constituted authority of the state at a banquet given for the benefit of the officers of the Colorado National Guard, who gathered in Denver for instructions. Loyalty and support were pledged to both the incoming and outgoing executives of the state by Adjutant General John Chase and other officers. The banquet was held at the Denver Athletic Club. The speakers generally expressed the hope that there would be no necessity to return to the coal strike fields, but declare that, if the necessity should arise, they would be ready to do their duty and do it well. At a gathering in the Senate chamber of the Capitol building General Chase told the officers to be ready for duty by Dec. 1, saying that his advice did not mean that the guard was to return to the strike field, but that it should be ready to do so. "There is only one man in the United States who knows whether or not the federal troops are to be withdrawn," he said, "and the militia placed in their stead, and he has not yet told us. That man is President Wilson." The meeting of the officers was a regular one for tactical instruction. At the rifle range near Golden a tactical problem prepared for them by Captain Walter T. Bates and Captain James E. Shelley, infantry and cavalry instructors from the U. S. army, was worked out by the militia leaders. GEORGE A. CARLSON PETER H. George A. Carlson, elected governor of Colorado by the Republicans, is the youngest chief executive ever chosen for that office, being only thirty-eight years old. A native of Iowa, he went to Colorado in his youth and worked his way through the Colorado Agricultural college, the state normal school and the state university. He has been district attorney of the Eighth judicial district for six years and attracted attention by his handling of strike matters in the northern field. Urge Civil Service Pensions. Denver.—Pensions for aged civil service employés by the government was urged by speakers at a meeting of Branch No. 89 of the National Association of Civil Service Employees. Passage of the Hammil bill now in Congress was advocated. The speakers were A. D. Talliaferro, A. L. Friorg, the Rev. O. W. Auman, the Hon. Tully M. Scott, Congressman Benjamin C. Hilliard, Charles B. Timberlake, Senator John Shafroth, Alexander Nisbet, Frank C. Goudy, the Rev William O'Ryan, Governor Ammons, Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, Liutenant Governor S. R. Fitzgarrald, Dr. William H. Smiley and A. P. Ardourel. Keller on Accounting Board. Denver.—Governor Ammons appointed Albert Keller a member of the state board of accountancy to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration of the term of Clem Crowley. Keller will serve until Oct. 20, 1917. Plans for Saguache Hall Approved. Denver.—The State Board of Charities and Corrections approved the plans for a town hall and jail at Saghua. It will be a two-story brick building and cost $3,500. Slayer of Brother Gets Parole. Denver.—Oscar George, who was sent to the state penitentiary in January, 1913, for killing his brother John. in Denver, will be free on Dec. 1 to join his wife and baby. The State Board of Pardons granted him a parole which will become effective next month. George's case was unusual in that every person connected with his trial recommended a commutation of sentence. He killed his brother by cutting him with a razor during a quarrel. MANY APPETIZING DESSERTS AT COMMAND. Condiment Is Also Recommended for Its Health-Giving Properties—Should Have More Definite Place in the Larder. Preserved or canned ginger gives a most interesting flavor to many desserts and really deserves a more definite place in the larder. For it can be kept always on hand and therein possesses a great advantage over many other fruit flavors. Dates freed from their pits and stuffed with slivers of preserved ginger, then rolled in granulated sugar, are a delicious sweetmeat. Ginger Bavarian cream is a dessert with an almost elusive flavor. To make it chop half a cupful of preserved ginger into small bits and mix it with half a cupful of sirup. Then add half a package of gelatin, which has been soaked and dissolved in a cupful of water. Whip a pint of cream stiff and add it to the other ingredients. If necessary add chili. Serve with whipped cream, garnished with bits of preserved ginger. Chopped preserved ginger can be added to rice pudding before it is baked to give it an unusual flavor. For a baked custard ginger sauce is delicious. Make it by simmering a cupful of sirup to which a quarter of a cupful of chopped preserved ginger has been added. Serve hot. Ginger custard sauce is made by simmering the milk from which the custard is to be made with some chopped ginger in it for 15 minutes. Then strain and proceed with the custard sauce in the usual way. For ginger water ice boll a quart of water and a pound and a quarter of granulated sugar together for five minutes with the rind from four lemons and one orange. Cool and add the juice of the lemons and orange, strain and freeze. Pound four ounces of preserved ginger to a paste and cut two ounces into shreds and add to the ice when it is hard. Pack for a couple of hours. Ginger ice cream is made in this way: Pound six ounces of preserved ginger to a paste and add slowly two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice. Mix a pint of cream with half a pound of granulated sugar and add slowly to the ginger mixture. Press through a fine wire sieve and freeze. Oriental Eggs. The Chinese are great eaters of eggs, which they take hard boiled. These are to be had in all the roadside places for refreshment. While the Chinese have an expression, "eggs of a hundred years," it is not to be understood that their eggs are always a century old, though one may be able to procure those that are of many years' standing. The Chinese evince a preference for the egg of the duck or of the goose. These are placed with aromatic herbs in slaked lime for a varying period, the minimum being, it is said, five or six weeks. Under the influence of time the yolk liquefies and takes on a dark green color, and the white coagulates and becomes green. To Make Pot Pies This can be made with veal alone, chicken or any nice meat. It can also be made similar to the Irish stew with left-over meat and adding a little fresh meat. Meat can be used alone or with a flavoring of vegetables. Cut up small and simmer, as the Irish stew is made, then put in a deep baking dish and cover with a biscuit crust or a mashed potato crust rolled out with flour. Bake a rich brown in moderate oven. Serve in the baking dish. Veal stew, which is made by cutting a pound or two of veal into six pieces, makes a good pie. Hiding Holes in Wall Paper. Not long ago a woman, who wished to hide an unsightly nail hole in her white striped wall paper, found that the hole would just accommodate a short stick of white chalk whitch, when put in, seemed to do very well for filler. Vinegar will moisten plaster of paris better than water in using it to stop up a hole or crack. It is easier to manipulate, as the vinegar makes it more like putty. It does not dry out as soon as water. The mixture will not harden until you are through handling it. Stewed Tomatoes With Onions. A really delicious dish is prepared from about six good-sized tomatoes, one onion and a half cupful of bread crumbs. Chop the onion and mix it with the tomatoes, which have been peeled and cut into pieces, add a little salt, a little pepper and an even table-spoonful of sugar, stew gently for about twenty minutes, add the bread crumbs, re-heat and serve. Cauliflower in Cases. Wash, separate the flowerets and boil in salted water. When done, drain and put in a cream sauce. Scoop out the inside of some breakfast rolls, toast them to a nice brown and fill with the creamed cauliflower. When washing or scrubbing hair brushes, if they are put to dry with the bristles downward they will last twice as long. If turned the other way the water soaks into the wood and rots the bristles.

The tall hat is of red also, and the costume is finished with a ruffle collar of white lace. This doll has eyes made of small black beads with eyebrows and eyelids defined with black yarn. His nose is formed by making a short ridge in the face drawn together by a few stitches. A stitch, in red yarn, forms his mouth and a mustache and whiskers are made of black yarn. FANCY caps, of many kinds, are among the gifts that may be relied upon to please those who receive them. This year they are shown made for the dancing party, for theater wear, for skating, and, in greater numbers still, for breakfast and bedroom wear. They employ a great variety of mate- rials, the choice depending upon the purpose that the cap is to serve. A pretty evening cap, shown in the picture, is made of silk and bound with silver braid. A fan of silver gauze at the side is an unusual ornament, poised like a butterfly near the face of the wearer, where two tassels of silver tinsel are suspended. Such a headdress need not be removed at the theater or dance and adds a charming touch of brilliance to the dress. USEFUL PRESENTS FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE A WARM robe of elderdown flannel is among the many delightful gifts that are to be made for the baby or for the little ones who have outgrown babyhood. Elderdown flannel is woven in light colors and figured in white with Teddy bears, rabbits, birds and other figures that delight the youngsters. It is the softest and most comforting of materials for cold weather. Bath robes like that pictured are bound with narrow ribbon on all the PADROA raw edges, provided with collars and pockets (except when made for infants) and have ties of silk cord, finished with tassels at the neck and about the waist, like the eiderdown in color. For the little infant the pocket and waist cord are not needed. Bed slippers of eiderdown finished and tied with ribbons are very comfortable for little ones who are apt to kick off bedclothes in cold weather. They are among the most easily made of gifts. Shoes and bootees, for little infants' daily wear, are also made of this material which is so well suited for a baby's garments. Other articles are short sacks, hoods and blankets for the baby's carriage. The last are decorated with big bows of wide, handsome satin ribbon. THERE are some toys that can be made at home for the smaller children and they are among those that are most durable and most cherished. Among them are Teddy bears, dogs, elephants, rabbits and kittens made of canton flannel or plush. Rag dolls, printed on strong muslin, can be bought ready to be cut out and made at home. The animals are cut by patterns to be had at pattern companies and are stuffed with sawdust. Small buttons or beads make their eyes and heavy yarns are employed in outlining the mouth or nose or other details. A small white dog shown in the picture illustrates how well these toys look. He is furnished with eyes made of little black buttons and ears cut from black cloth. A ribbon carrying a tiny bell is sewed about his neck and he is bedecked with a narrow band of red ribbon about his body, tied in a bow at the side. bow at the bottom A clown doll is shown with the head made of ribbed goods like a stocking top. The body is made of blue cambrie and the shoes of red. The tall hat is of red also, and the costume is finished with a ruffle collar of white lace. This doll has eyes made of small black beads with eyebrows and eyelids defined with black yarn. His nose is formed by making a short ridge in the face drawn together by a few stitches. A stitch, in red yarn, forms his mouth and a mustache and whiskers are made of black yarn. Among the new things brought out for this year are pictures to be made HOLLYWOOD by cutting out figures from colored tissue paper and pasting them on a thin paper background. The tissue is placed over an outline picture and the figure wanted drawn in outline with a pencil. It is then cut out. Different objects are drawn on different colored paper, as trees on green paper, horses on white or brown paper, and other objects on appropriate colors. After all the required figures are cut out, they are pasted on the background. PRETTY SHADES FOR CHRISTMAS CANDLES P PRETTY candle shades for the dressing case or for the candles of the dinner or luncheon table, are sure to delight the home-maker, so they are among the most acceptable of Christmas gifts to everyone who loves the little touches that add to the beauty of the home. X Candle shades of figured silk, or silkaline or thin ribbon, may be made over small wire frames, with the silk put on in plaits or plain or fluted. The thin ribbons are easily handled. Small wire frames are to be bought ready made and come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Sometimes the frame is made of stiff cardboard, but this is not durable nor as satisfactory as that of wire. To make shades like that shown in the picture take flowered ribbon or strips of silk a half-inch wider than the width of the wire frame. Lay it in plaits a little less, than a half inch in depth, or have it plaited on a plaiting machine. Sew one edge of the plaited strip over the top wire of the frame, crowding the plaits close together. Sew the other edge over the bottom wire. Spreading the plaits evenly is necessary. Conceal the sewing and border the shade at the same time with tinsel braid in silver or gilt. PRETTY LITTLE CORSAGE AND HAIR ORNAMENTS RIBBONS are used to make the single roses and small bouquets that it is fashionable to wear at the shoulder, over the coat or corsage. Single roses are also made of silver or gold tissues and small blossoms of these materials are used with those of ribbon in the little bouquets. The single metallic rose is as large as the largest natural roses and is set in foliage. Ribbon in a heavy quality something over a inch in width is used for mak ```markdown ``` ing roses. Pinks and reds as like the natural flowers as possible are chosen. Hair ornaments are made by winding bonnet wire with satin ribbon in lengths sufficient to extend twice across the head from ear to ear. This covered wire is doubled in the center and caught together at the ends making a double band. At each end of this band a ribbon rose is set in rose foliage. Ornaments of this kind make lovely gifts for young women. Fundamental Principles of Health By ALBERT S. GRAY, M.D. (Copyright, 1914, by A. S. Gray) RIGG'S DISEASE AND VITALITY. Next in frequency to the most prevalent human disease, caries, or tooth decay, comes one very closely associated with it, known in dental literature as periodontitis, better known as pyorrhoea alveolorais, or Rigg's disease. This disease, characterized by a more or less general infection of the membranes within the tooth socket, is indicated by a slight tenderness during mastication, looseness of the teeth and pulp sensitiveness, or even pain on the ingestion of hot or cold drinks because of the exposure of the cementum, the external shell of the root. The gum is swollen and soft, the tooth may be raised in its socket, and pressure brings relief. There is a discharge of pus from between the tooth and gum on pressure, the teeth become loose, and, in course of time as the disease progresses and the alveolar process (the tooth socket) is destroyed, they fall out. Efficient mastication is, of course, impossible; hence not only is food bolted partly chewed and more or less mixed with pus, but the tissues in and around the teeth are deprived of exercise necessary to give them an adequate blood supply and they are thereby rendered less resistant to attack. Tooth after tooth is involved and there is established another of those numerous vicious cycles that continually operate to drag us down. As in so many diseases there is a great diversity of opinion as to its cause. It sometimes follows severe fever and many consider it the result of low vitality and feeble circulation, the result of a gouty diathesis (physical habit), or of chronic rheumatism; but the majority opinion appears to be that the immediate cause of the disease is the accumulation of irritant material in the pocket around the tooth. The general bacteriology of the disease is by no means confined to one group of organisms, and so far as is known no specific micro-organism has been isolated; the streptococcus, pneumococcus, staphylococcus and others of the bacillary type predominate. Pyrohroea is not a new disease; it was recognized by the early investigators, but it has become more prevalent during the last 50 years and it is the rule rather than the exception to find patients with more or less periodontitis. The disease is not confined to man, but is also extremely prevalent among domestic animals. A class of serious disorders has long been known in which failure of nutrition could be named as the immediate antecedent in the case and in which it has vaguely been assumed that the diet must be at fault. Probably the most generally familiar of these diseases is scurvy. Scurvy has always been associated with a diet containing an excess of salted, smoked, or canned foodstuff, a monotonous diet devoid of fresh vegetables such as cabbage, onions, carrots, potatoes and the like. As the result of experience, these fresh vegetables have been credited with some power to ward off or at last to mitigate the disease, and limes and lemons are universally recognized as anti-scorbutics (scurvy preventives). Victims of scurvy suffer from severe physical exhaustion, soreness of the gums and looseness of the teeth, and, of course, this opens the way to bacterial invasion and periodontitis. When we note that, as all observers agree, improvement or intensification of the mouth diseases synchronizes with the rise and fall of general health in the individual, it is reasonable to suspect that the disease is not a strictly local infection resulting from local irritation or injury. It does not come from injuries received in chewing grit and sand or from soft food accumulating about the teeth; it comes as the result of lowered vitality from the lack of those organic compounds other than the proteins which Casimir Funk and other investigators prove to be present in fresh vegetables and in lime and other juices, small quantities of which are absolutely essential to normal growth and continued health. The name given these compounds by Funk is well chosen in view of its root meaning: Vitamines. An "amine" is a nitrogenous compound of a certain type, and a vitamine is obviously such a nitrogenous compound absolutely necessary to vitality. The principles of evolution are universal and constantly at work, even in the minds of men, and we are slowly evolving out of the old idea of "cause" and "cure." The investigations of Soddy in the chemistry of the radio-elements, of Twort, Penfold, Mme, Henri and others in the mutations of bacteria, make it quite clear that if medicine ever takes a place among the sciences it can come only as the result of a general habit of mind such as is found in the advanced sciences. In astronomy and in physics in general scientists have banished the term "cause" and have ceased to look for specific causes, because there are no such things. What scientific laws do is to state the functional relations between certain events at certain times and certain other events at other times. Do You Know That- We know, for example, that sunbeams are the ultimate cause of the revolving of a windmill, but no man can state the origin of the particular puff of air that causes a wheel to revolve at a certain speed at a certain time. Neither is it possible to put one's finger on the exact point at which we enter or leave the vital current of life. The wise man takes no chances and simply sticks close to nature. This means eating simple, properly prepared, unprocessed foods. CHANGES IN BACTERIA AND DISSEASE. The universal property of irritability, which is simply the power to respond to stimuli, makes all organisms the result of the interaction of two sets of factors—the factors of inheritance and the factors of environment. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF The factors of inheritance cover all the complex association of properties or capacities transmitted from the parents which make up the specific inheritance characteristic of each individual; the factor of environment on the other hand covers all those conditions which are capable of influencing the differentiation, growth and behavior, or, in other words, the general metabolism, of the organism. The inheritance may be compared to everything that leads up to the production of a blank phonograph disk; the environment and stimuli may be compared to everything acting through the needle which cuts the dots and dashes into the surface of the disk. Obviously the final result, or the individual, must be the product of these two sets of factors and in exact accordance with the quality and capacity of the disk, the hardness or softness of the needle and the amount of power behind it. The same principle applies throughout the universe. The continuation of any type depends on maintaining all the factors within a certain scale; obviously, then, if either of the sets of factors be altered the resulting organism will be changed and what are known as variations will occur. These facts have enabled man to develop many useful and valuable types of plant and animal. Since the germs of disease are living organisms they also must be subject to the laws of evolution, and in this fact we have proof of the assertion that every man makes his own disease; because no two can be exactly alike, they must vary widely in space and time. Not only does each individual human being vary, but each species of bacteria varies from time to time, so that the well-known diseases cannot be the same in different localities or in different generations. Proof of this has recently been furnished in the work of Twort and Penfold, who have "educated" the typhoid fever bacillus to ferment sugar, which ordinarily it does not do. Revis has obtained varieties of the bacillus coil structurally and physiologically different from the parent by prolonged culture in various media. Very recently Madam Victor Henri has produced marked mutations in a particularly well defined and stable bacterial species, the bacillus anthracis.

We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. The micro-organism, bacterium anthracis, gives rise to an infectious and usually fatal bacterial disease in animals, especially in cattle and sheep, characterized by ulcerations of the skin, enlargement of the spleen and general collapse, a disease generally known as splenic fever. Man occasionally contracts the disease by inoculation from the animal. Carbuncle, malignant pustule and wool sorters' disease are caused by the anthrax bacteria. The normal bacterium is a long rod shaped micro-organism having marked and characteristic reactions. Mme. Henri has modified the organism with the ultra-violet light. The method employed was to expose an aqueous (water) suspension of anthrax spores in a quartz tube to ultra violet radiations for times varying from one to forty minutes and afterward growing cultures from these mixtures. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction The majority of the organisms were killed by this treatment because the ultra-violet rays were markedly bactericidal, but a few survived and according to the conditions and the length of the exposure the bacilus underwent modifications and showed characteristics decidedly different from the typical anthrax bacillus. The principal of these were a cocoid form and a thin filamentous form. These two forms constitute two new types which Mme. Henri has isolated, and they remain stable for about three months. They produce anthrax which has characteristics distinct from those of the anthrax produced by the normal bacillus. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver The normal anthrax microbe liquefies gelatin, curdles milk and takes definite stains. The filamentous form does not liquefy gelatin, curdle milk or take the same stains, and it produces an infection different from the anthrax on inoculation. This form remained absolutely fixed and stable after a daily subculture for more than eighty days; but though stable in the incubator after passage through an animal, coccold forms taking a stain similar to normal anthrax bacteria appeared and, after subculture in broth, a certain number of bacillary forms approximating the typical anthrax were obtained. Inasmuch as all the above points clearly to the fact that diseases are only relative conditions, we should carefully refrain from dogmatism. TOM LEWIS, Prop. The Marian Hotel JOHN H.

They want cloths as warm as fur and good to look at. They affect mannish styles in the cut of these utility coats, but do not permit them to be cumbersome or too heavy. Manufacturers have placed on the market as smart and trim lines as the most discriminating woman of fashion could ask for. One can be quite unconscious of the cold when fortified against it with the right kind of clothing. The tonic of the cold will be enjoyed by the most delicate of women if they are protected from discomfort. No winter season has come to us more full-handed in the matter of desirable top-coats for the coldest weather than has this. Styles have been adapted to cloths, and both to the purposes for which the garment is to be used. The result is coats with splendid qualities—warmth, durability and smartness. The balmacan of tweed, shown in Cameo Coiffure TURNING to intricately carved cameos for inspiration, designers of coiffures have studied them and have produced a few daring and some very beautiful hairdressings. Cameos may be relied upon to provide variety in styles, and the modern artist to take advantage of every idea which is to be found in these wonderful carved pictures. Much to the surprise of the artists in coiffures some of their most daring efforts, and a few copies which followed the originals almost exactly, were seized upon as soon as launched, and the cameo coiffure is just started on a career which may establish it as a fad. Tight curls and smooth, even waves, and much elaboration in arrangement, characterize colfures which follow the suggestions of the cameo. Two of them are shown here, and if the hair of the lovely lady shown at the left were white no one would need to be told that she is wearing it a la cameo. It is waved with the utmost precision, with every hair in place. The graduated curls on the neck are smooth and evenly placed, and the chignon as shaped and smooth as if carved rather than combed. There is no denying the elegance of this arrangement. It is quaint and charming. At the right the colfure with shower of curls at the back is a type less familiar than that already described. It shows a mass of curls covering all of the back of the head, with the front hair parted at one side and waved. --- the picture, is a fine type. Nothing could be plainer or more shapely. The lapped seams help out in the adjustment of the garment, and hemmed edges at the fronts and about the collar and cuffs make a trim, decorative finish. The collar is of the roll-over kind that may be turned up and fastened close about the neck. Other clothes used for this style are chinchilla, corduroy, plush, cheviot, velours, plaids and checks, and the various cravenetied coatings, besides a few fancy weaves. For driving and for the auto, when the weather is nipping, these substantial, well-adjusted coats make their wearers cozy. Like a tailored suit, they have a style of their own. Many of the new models have a pronounced flare to the skirt, but the heaviest cloths are cut on most mannish lines. Ruffled Handbags. There are some new handbags of silk with a little flounce of plaited silk or crepe about the top, quite like a diminutive overskirt. And so, of course, they are charming. Is the Latest BURNHAM A little investigation reveals that although waves and curls are to be counted on as always present in the cameo coiffure there is no telling what oddity of arrangement may be discovered. The waves are not always set and precise nor the curls always smooth. The psyche knot and the hair turned back from the face, with part of the ear showing, is a familiar enough arrangement in cameos. But there are certain little touches and details in most of them, to make them worth while as a subject of study for the individual as well as the professional hairdresser. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Styles of Capes. There are several kinds of fashionable capes and one may choose one's favorite style. The officer's cape has straight military lines, crossed bands fastening with a snap button at the back of the waist giving a very soldierly effect. The tooreader cape is worn rakishly over one shoulder and is rather short, rarely falling much below the waist line. The page cape is a gay little affair of silk attached at the back of the collar. It is merely an ornament and makes no pretense of affording warmth. The mantillis cape is of lace and is draped over the bare neck and arms at the back of the evening frock. Most serviceable of all is the red ridinghood cap, which is gathered into a turned over collar and which falls almost to the knee. --- Rocky Mountain Athletic Club THE CLASSROOM A high class Pool and Billiard room.
