PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY SPEECH HON. M. B. M ON THE INJUSTICE OF THE AMENDMENTMENT TO THE THE REPLY OF REPRESENT ISSIPPI (A SOUTHERN In the House of Represen SPEECH OF HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN ON THE INJUSTICE OF THE AFRICAN EXCLUSION AMENDMENDMENT TO THE IMMIGRATION BILL AND THE REPLY OF REPRESENTATIVE QUIN OF MISS- ISSIPPI (A SOUTHERN DEMOCRAT) THERETO In the House of Representatives January 7, 1915 PUBLISHED BY REQUEST Mr. MADDEN. Mr. Speaker, beginning on line 8, page 8, of H. R. 6060, the immigration bill, passed by the House at the last session of Congress and reported to the House from the Senate on Tuesday, provides— That after four months from the approval of this act, in addition to the aliens who are by law now excluded from admission into the United States, the following persons shall also be excluded from administration thereto, to wit: All members of the African or black race. This language would seem to make it impossible for a Negro, a citizen of the United States, to reenter this country if he happened to be abroad for any reason. This is the most drastic legislation I have ever seen proposed. It is discrimination of a kind that can not be justified. Mr. Speaker, the possession of power should be used with great care. We never ought to use power unjustly. Men who have power can afford to be just. It would be unjust beyond measure to adopt this amendment to the immigration law. One tenth of the American people are of the black race, and no people in all the world's history has ever been more loyal to a Government than have these people to this. (Applause) No other race numbering 10,000,000 of the Nation's population would submit to the indignities that have been imposed upon these people. Under this amendment citizens of America of African blood would be excluded from the right to return to America's shores. They have lived here 250 years. They have fought in every battle in which the Nation has been engaged. They have given their life blood for the preservation of the Union; they fought at New Orleans with Gen. Jackson, and in the Civil War 350,000 of these men volunteered that the Nation might be saved. They fought in 449 engagements, and left 38,000 on the field of battle, in order that we here to-day might live in a VOL. XX1. ```markdown ``` country protected by a single flag. (Applause.) There are not many of these people who come from abroad, not more than 5,000 a year, and most of them are English subjects. It is a question whether, if you adopt this amendment, you are not going to bring this country into international complications. The amendment operates against Christianity. American missionaries are sending large sums of money abroad in order that they may educate and christianize the people of Africa, and they frequently select young women to come to America to be educated, in order that they may go back home and educate their own people. If this amendment is adopted that can occur no longer, and we would have put our stamp of approval on the lack of opportunity to a down trodden race of people, whose loyalty to the Government has never been questioned. America has always made the proud boast of being just to the downtrodden of all the world. Gentlemen, only a short time ago we passed a law in this House to gives self-government to the Filipino. Are we to be less just to the Negro, a race of people who have stood by the Government under which we live and for which we speak to-day during all its struggles for liberty? Are we to place burdens upon this race of people that are not imposed upon any other people of the earth? They ought to be given equal opportunity with every other race to come here. They are loyal and law-abiding, and have made more progress since the close of the Civil War than any other people in all history. They are engaged in all the pursuits that make for prosperity; they are engaged in agriculture, in banking, in the manufactures, in everything that makes the country great, and yet you by the Senate would exclude the people of African blood from coming to America's shores, and thereby humiliate 10,000,000 loyal American citizens and place the stamp State Hist & Nat Hist Society State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO of inferiority upon them. I plead with you, Members of the House, to open your hearts and do the thing that is just; and justice in this case can not be meted out except by the defeat of this amendment. Surely the American Congress is too great, too sympathetic, too just to enact such legislation as this. (Applause.) Reply Of Hon. Percy E. Quin. Of Mississippi. Mr. QUIN. Mr. Speaker, I am surprised at the sentiments just expressed by the distinguished gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Madden). He certainly does not know much about the African race. Of all the barnacles that the civilization of the United States has fastened to it, of all the leper spots, of all the sores, of all the misfortunes that the civilization of this Republic has fastened to the body politic it is the African race, which stands as the worst. I say, gentlemen, that of all the evils that the American Republic is confronted with to-day it is this black race this black death, this parasite of rece destruction that is fastened upon the Anglo-Saxon people and upon the civilization of the United States. You had just as well to begin to understand that the white people are going to rule this country. I would favor the deporting of the black man from the United States. Certainly I favor this amendment forbidding any more Negroes from coming here, which would do away partially with that great wrong to this country. We have a great race, but we have this one great evil, we are getting too many foreigners in this country, too many whose blood can not assimilate with that of our people. Any man that loves his country, who loves this Republic, could never hope to have the Negro race assimilate with the white race. It is impossible to the mind of any man who understands the Negro to have anything except revulsion at the idea of the Negro race being placed on equality with the white people. Mr. Speaker, I am opposed to any race of people being allowed to come into this country who are not fit to intermarry with our people. Certainly no nigger should ever be allowed to marry a white person. So far as the Negro race is concerned, social equality is an impossibility. No Negro is good enough to associate with a white man. The white people in the South will never stand for the Negro to even attempt to stand on any plane of equality. Why not let this amendment of the Senate stand, which forbids any Negroes coming into the United States? Why not be real men and stand up for the purity of the white race all over our country? There is no evil that is so great to the real success of the perpetuity of our institutions as the black blood of this country. Talk about bringing more in here. Mr. Speaker, this is one of the wisest provisions that has been placed in this immigration bill, and the people from the State where the distinguished gentleman comes from may not know the evils as do the people of the State of Mississippi, who have had to contend with him under the carpetbag, scallawag government which obtained after 1865, when the black man rode in high place, with a few of these carpetbag buzzards who held office in the State of Mississippi putting the black man in power, to run roughshod over the true civilization of this Republic. (Applause) If my friend had those conditions in Illinois, he certainly would not want anymore Negroes imported into the United States. For Heaven's sake men, if you understood what an evil the preponderance of black population is in any State or community, you certainly would not oppose this bar to any more African blood coming into this Republic. What few you have now you may manage, but if you get them on you in numbers like we have them in the State of Mississippi and other former slave-holding States, you will have a standing menace that will grow to be an intolerable danger and nuisance. I say, my friends, as a real patriot who loves his country, who loves the Anglo-Saxon blood and its predominance, we ought to let it rule, and the only way to keep it ruling is to prevent the African race from becoming too numerous in your Republic. The distinguished gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Madden) says you have one-tenth of the population of that blood now that is just one-tenth too-much—and I am not prejudiced against the black man, either. (Laughter and applause.) Washington, March 3.—President Wilson today nominated Houston B. Teehee of Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to be register of the treasury, to succeed Gabe Parker, who recently became commissioner of the five civilized tribes.

Philadelphia, Pa., March 2.—Last Saturday the stork paid a visit to the residence of "Baby Jim," 1111 Rodman street, and left a chubby, smiling nine-pound baby boy and since its arrival no one has been able to hand its 750 pound father a red apple.

St. Paul, Minn., March 2.—Walter Chpstnut, 12 years old, a member of the St. Phillips Episcopal Club here, recently wrote an original western drama and with his youthful club members, successfully staged it to the great amazement and joy of a large audience. A prominent part was given each of the twelve members. Mr. Ira S. Ashe, organizer of the club, said of young Chestnut, yesterday: "I simply stood by and allowed young Chestnut, to carry out his own ideas in his own way, the result of which has opened the eyes of all. We believe the colored vote in this country is worth something. If President Wilson is to be considered good presidential timber for 1916, he would do well to make up his mind to explain two knotty questions. Why did you allow white and colored clerks in the Departments to be segregated? Why have you not appointed a colored man as Recorder of Deeds, in Washington? Perhaps Mr. Wilson thinks these questions are immaterial. If so, its his privilege to continue so to think. This is the seed time. The harvest is yet to come.—Ledgér. Beaufort, S. C, March 2.—On Tuesday, February 23, occured the death of one of the race's most noted characters, General Robert Smalls, in his seventy-sixth year of age. He had been sick for about ten months at his home on Prince street, and all the members of the family were around the bedside when the end came Born in Beaufort April 5, 1839, he was a river pilot by profession. During the civil war he was used as pilot by the Confederates on a privateer, the Planter, which had been fitted out as a gunboat. On May 13, NO 29 1862, Pilot Smalls took the Planter which was being used as the special dispatch boat of General Ripley the Confederate post commander at Charleston, from the wharf at which she was lying and carried her out of the Charleston harbor, under the confederate guns, and delivered the vessel to Captain Nichols of the Federal ship Onward, one of the fleet of Federal ships blockading Charleston harbor at the time. He was put in charge of the gunboat Crusader as pilot, serving also on the Planter, and was in charge of the vessels during many engagements with Confederate forces, both naval and land. He was pilot on board the monitor Keokuk when that vessel was struck ninety-six times in the attack on Fort Sumpter on April 7, 1863, sinking the next morning, just after Smalls and the crew had been taken off. TROOPERS OUGHT TO GET MEDELS FOR SERVICE Service badges should be given the members of Troop D, Ninth cavalry, for their distinguished services at Naco, in the opinion of army officers and civilians who are familiar with their conduct there. It is asserted that the troopers are more deserving of such recognition than the army of pacification in Cuba, which was given such badges. During the whole of the Naco trouble Troop D was stationed along the line from the main street of the town, east to the stockyard. A troop of the Tenth cavalry patroled west from Main street. These soldiers while on patrol duty as well as while they were in camp, were constantly exposed to the stay bullets from the Mexican side during the three months' seige. Many times they felt sure they were being deliberately fired upon, but not once did they retaliate. Their orders were not to fire back unless "maliciously" fired upon. In at least one instance, where a Mexican officer was escaping to this side of the line, such malicious shooting occurred, but even then the colored troopers did not shoot. In all their conduct at Naco, the members of this troop, and all the other troops for that matter, showed the same fine discipline and patience. They never complained. They showed that there are no better soldiers in the world—Douglas Daily International. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS DAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD.

Sends Man to Kansas City and if the Charges Are Substantiated Parole Will Be Held as Violated. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Colorado Springs.—On evidence indicating that J. J. Moore, alias J. A. Boyle, author of the Boston Blackie stories, has violated his parole, Warden Thomas J. Tynan of the state penitentiary will send a man to Kansas City. Warden Tynan has had Moore watched since the convict-author was given permission to leave the state to accept employment and a report of his marriage followed. Moore had never mentioned a desire to marry while under parole to the warden. Moore was arrested by the chief of police in Kansas City with a woman after Clement Anthony Martin and Bertha McAndries Martin, married in an elopement to this city, had been taken into custody by federal authorities. The Moores and the Martins had been together most of the time since leaving Denver. Tynan wired the Kansas City police for facts in regard to Moore's detention and when no reply came he wired the police there to hold Moore. "I am going to send a man to Kansas City," said Warden Tynan. "I think we have established the fact that he has broken his parole through information obtained from United States Attorney Tedrow.

Just, a young scientist and professor in the Howard university medical school, attracted widespread attention. The committee, of which Mr. Taft is a member, did not find the choice an easy one, there being a number of possibilities from whom to select. That the recipient should be a scientist rather than an inventor, or a leader in farming or banking, will doubtless surprise many people, as it will put to their trumps those who continue to maintain that the Negro is incapable of the higher education. Professor Just, be it noted, is but thirty-one years of age; yet he has already attracted the attention of scientists of repute, no less a one than Prof. Jacques Loeb endorsing his original work in physiology, biology and zoology in these terms: "His knowledge of biology and his critical ability are of an unusually high and lofty order. In the work that he devotes to Howard university he is actuated by very high motives, since the remuneration he receives is only a fraction of his nominal salary. He could easily increase his income by giving up his position. Professor Just has sacrificed a good deal for the advancement of medical schools for colored people, and he will do a good deal more if he is given a chance, as I hope he may be." Plainly, this is just the type of man the Spingarn medal ought to distinguish—a colored man who is proving the capability of the race, and is also ready to make sacrifices for the benefit of his people. It has been a distinct weakness of the race in its struggle upward from slavery that it has often lacked solidarity and a readiness to contribute to the welfare of the whole. That this is now a rapidly passing condition there are plenty of instances besides this one of Professor Just to prove. Indeed, the support given to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in whose hands Professor Spingarn has placed the award of the medal, is a remarkable case in point. That organization has taken radical and unpopular ground; timeservers in both races have shunned it as if it were something unworthy, instead of a manly and straightforward effort to preserve to the colored people their civil and political rights as guaranteed by the constitution. Yet the association has flourished, spread over the country, and made a reputation for itself as a guardian of the colored people's liberties, largely as a result of the efforts and financial sacrifices of the Negroes themselves. Commercially, elephants in India come under two classes—the one of pageantry, the other of utility. Every native prince of nobleman of distinction in India keeps elephants to swell his retinue, while, on the other hand, government officials and private persons, such as timber contractors, etc., require them for work. The quaint city of Berne has been the capital of the Swiss republic since 1848. It is one of the most interesting towns of Zahringen, and by 1288 it was strong enough to ward off two sieges by Rudolph of Hapsburg, the ancestor of the present emperor of Austria. With Julius Rosenwald of Chicago at its head, a party of business men, philanthropists and social workers from that city visited the various schools of the Tuskegee, Ala., institute operated by Booker T. Washington and took part in a meeting of the board of trustees. Several rural schools which Mr. Rosenwald has aided in Montgomery were visited. Near Basel-Augst, in Switzerland, is the site of the old Roman colony of Augusta Rauracorum, with remains of a theater, and at the nearby town of Rheinfelden are wall and towers partly preserved, for this was one of the outposts of the Holy Roman empire. It has only belonged to Switzerland since 1802, and is picturesque, like the majority of the towns on the Rhine. More than four hundred patents have been issued by the United States for devices intended to harness the power of sea waves. It has been computed that at the time of the arrival of Columbus there were 25,000,000 Indians in North and South America. Schemes for the construction of a 3,000-mile railway through Central Africa, at a cost roughly estimated at $50,000,000, have been revived by the termination of the war between Italy and Turkey. The post office in England intends to try the motorcycle for rural service. Orders have been placed for experimental machines. The life of the domestic horse is about twenty-eight years, while that of the wild one is thirty-eight years. Manassas is the only school of its kind in the entire five surrounding counties, the only place where any sort of an industrial training is given. The children come principally from this section of Virginia, where they have often gone no further than the fourth grade in the rural schools. In nearly all cases this means the scariest possible training—the bare brittleinnings of the three R's. However, there are things more fundamental than even these which must be taught many of these pupils, who come from homes where the use of water for cleansing purposes has never been known, and where the simple everyday care of their bodies is another new lesson to learn. It is remarkable how quickly they come to realize the value of this lesson, and the pride with which daily soap-scrubbed faces shine once they know the added feeling of self-respect gained by the simple medium of soap and water. The pupil must be fourteen to enter the school—and may be forty. There are usually about an equal number of boys and girls in attendance. Most of these children are too poor to pay for their tuition and board, for which a very nominal price is asked, but this difficulty is arranged for by a system of crediting the child for daily jobs done in connection with the trade he is pursuing, or any necessary work to be done about the building, in the kitchen, laundry, or about the grounds. The trades offered the boys are carpentry, cobbling, wheelwrighting, blacksmithing, upholstering, and, most important of all for boys of that section, farming. The girls have cooking, sewing, laundering, dairying, and light farming. As early as 1798 a night school for Negroes was started in Philadelphia. In 1844 an industrial school was proposed, and in 1856 the first Negro university in the new world was started, named Wilberforce university, and now one of the largest Negro institutions of higher learning in the country. There are operated under the auspices of this church the following institutions, each one named for one of its deceased bishops: Allen university, Columbia, S. C.; Morris Brown university, Atlanta, Ga.; Payne college, Cuthbert, Ga.; Edward Waters college, Jacksonville, Fla.; Payne university, Selma, Ala.; Campbell college, Jackson, Miss.; Lampton college, Waco, Tex.; Wayman institute, Harrodsburg, Ky.; Payne Theological seminary, Wilberforce, O. There are also the Shaffer High school in Liberia, West Africa; Turner seminary, Shelbyville, Tenn., and Kittrell college in North Carolina, and institutions in Capetown, South Africa, and Georgetown, South America. The members of this church have raised more than $3,000,000 to support their schools, and their graduates are scattered all over the world—where Negroes are. Some are teaching the Filipinos; some are organizing and training the militia of Liberia, the Negro republic of West Africa, and they are in every state in the Union in almost every honorable occupation of labor. A hundred African students have been trained in these schools for the purpose of going back to their homes to help raise their people. The watchword of the church is "self-respect and self-help." Corks steeped in vaseline make exe cellent substitutes for glass stoppers. Buffalo is to purify its drinking water with chlorine gas, and hopes that the unpleasant taste caused by the more common method of using hypochloride will not appear. The process will kill germs, but not clarify the water. If Buffalo wants its water to sparkle it will have to install a filtration system as in Cleveland, where the plant cost $2,000,000. More than 99 per cent of the timber in the Phillippines is owned by the government and is worked through concessions and licenses, as no land more valuable for timber than for agriculture can be bought. The valuable trees of the same species are often scattered through the forests instead of being grouped, and this makes lumbering more expensive. A camera operated by electricity has been invented for lowering into oil wells to photograph the conditions surrounding broken tools. A gun, has been discovered in large quantities in the Malay Peninsula that yields from 10 to 20 per cent pure rubber. To drain Lake Mariotis, in the Nile delta ten pumps have been installed each with a capacity of 100,000,000 gallons daily, and it is believed that eight more will be required. The Pacific Steam Navigation company has decided to extend its Straits mail service from Callao to Panama, in view of the opening of the Panama canal. In the Alps there is a letter box 10. 000 feet above the sea level, from which daily collections are made. GERMANS SINK AMERICAN SHIP ARRIVAL OF CRUISER EITEL IN NEWPORT NEWS CAUSES GREAT SENSATION. NEWSSTUNSPRESIDENT TEUTON VESSEL BEGS FOR REPAIRS IN VIRGINIA PORT AND LANDS CAPTIVES. Washington, March 11.—President Wilson was stunned by the news that an American ship carrying grain was sunk by the German cruiser Prinz Eitelfriedrich which made port for repairs at Newport News Tuesday. State Department officials would make no announcement, but the action of Germany in sinking a ship carrying grain was outside all international law precedents, it was declared. The German cruiser, after a commerce-destroying cruise over the Pacific and Atlantic oceans of fifteen thousand miles landed for repairs. She brought with her rescued crews and passengers of American, British, French and Russian ships, and lay at anchor in a state of mechanical exhaustion from the strain of a fifteen-thousand-mile voyage. The cruiser began her scouting for ships of enemies of the Fatherland at Tsing-Tau, China, last November, under Commander Thierichens, who admitted sinking of eight merchant ships—three British, three French, one Russian and one American. The sinking of the American ship—the William P. Frye, a sailing vessel bound from Seattle to Queenstown with 5,200 tons of wheat—in the South Atlantic concerned American officials. Collector Hamilton said last night it was obvious that the Eitel Friederich would intern here. Commander Thierichens told the collector he had no idea of leaving port within 24 hours; that the boilers of his vessel were in bad condition and that repairs under six weeks would be impossible. He said under these conditions the vessel would be intermed unless permission could be had to remain until repairs made. Two English vessels carrying horses for the armies of the allies at first hesitated about leaving port, but when it became evident the German would not depart at once, they put to sea. The owners of the destroyed ship Frye took out a policy for $11,500 with the government war risk insurance bureau last October and this may play a part in determining its status as a carrier of cargo not subject to seizure. Under the usual practice of international law as followed in previous wars a battleship can sink a neutral vessel only when she carries contraband and would in any case be certain of condemnation by a prize court. The William P. Frye was owned by the Arthur Sewall Company. When overhauled by the German cruiser she was bound from Seattle to Queens town with a cargo of wheat. The skipper's wife said she and the children were frightened when overtaken by the German cruiser but that her fears were allayed when she went aboard the cruiser, the officers and men making every effort to give them all possible comforts. As soon as the Eitel Friederich had anchored here, Collector Hamilton and aides visited the ship, and first-class passengers from the French passenger steamer Florida, together with the captains of the eight destroyed vessels, were brought to Newport News. GENERAL VILLA IS DEDFIANT! Hands Off Mexico and Let Us Settle our Differences Alone, Says Northern Chief. El Paso, Tex., March 11.—General Villa, in a statement received from Torreon, declared that in event of intervention of foreign troops to subdue the Carranza forces, he and all other Mexicans would unite against the invaders. He denied recent interviews in American newspapers, which, he said, had just been called to his attention, in which he was quoted as having said that he would not oppose armed intervention on the part of several powers "to reduce the Carranza troops to order," provided that he would be made commander of such a move. "There is nothing more grotesque and absurd than such an assertion," said the message from the northern leader, "since I, as a true Mexican, always have insisted that our troubles be settled solely among ourselves. "Should, unfortunately, some nation invade our territory, I would be ready to fight against it without measuring the danger nor the number of the invaders until I would see the entire country in the possession of Mexicans only. All of us would fight united against the common enemy." Warship to Guard New York Port.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. KEEPING YOUR EYES OPEN. Open and penetrating eyes are essential to real up-to-date progress. Seeing details and adding them to your already acquired store of knowledge, is the acme of business success or any other kind of success that may be named. The Holy Writ has only condemnation for the man who "has eyes and sees not," and words of praise and promise for the man who has eyes and sees with them. Seeing to advantage is the boon of every man. There are so many good and new things to see in this growing world that a man ought never to use his precious time and splendid faculty in simply seeing the evil. The viewpoint or vantage ground for observation is also necessary. Some people never place themselves at the right place to get a focus. A pool room, dive or gambling parlor is a poor place to see the great transaction of commerce. A card table or bar room is a poor place to see educational, literary or scientific progress, and bad associates and low levels are poor places to see spiritual visions. Get the right viewpoint and train your optics and thoughts in the right direction and you will see thousands of opportunities and possibilities where one does not occur to you now. What the Negro needs now and needs sadly is a new vision and a new viewpoint in order that he may see the wonderful changes and chances that are taking place around him every day.

SOUND BUSINESS ADVICE. There are several old adages, "business is business," "business before pleasure," etc., which, translated, means that business cannot be done on promises, songs or hopes, but only on sound, practical, punctual business methods. Contracts are agreements to pay and ought to be regarded as sacred obligations. This the Negro has not yet learned to do and because of this is fast losing the respect of the business world. Firm after firm and company after company is declining Negro patronage with thanks. Do you wonder why it is? Listen; it is not prejudice, not caste, not social contact or social discrimination, none of these things; it is simply lack of certainty, reliability and promptness on the part of the Negro to make good his agreement. It is this desultoriness, laxity, slackness and tardiness that is causing the Negro to lose out in the business world. The commercial agencies, the trade journals, the collection agencies are all filing a bill of complaint against the Negro and the merchants and business men are heeding their advice. In other articles to follow we are going to show the practical working of these changes against the race. We are not scolding, nagging or knocking the race; we are but telling living truths, truths to help us and not let us fall in the esteem of those with whom we have to do business.

A metal bar on which are marked the limits of a yard is in the custody of the English government. The original standard is said to have been the length of the arm of Henry I. Our original unit of weight for most articles is the English avoirdupois pound. A cylindrical piece of metal in the custody of the English government is the standard. The original standard is said to have been the weight of a grain of wheat of average size, 7,000 of these making a pound. Then we have the apothecaries' weight for drugs and troy weight for gold and silver. We also indulge in various other vagaries, as the long and short tons and the knot for nautical distance. There is no uniform and simple ratio between the different denominations, the units of length having the varying ratios, 12, 3, $51\frac{1}{4}$, 40 and 8. The metric system has a single basic unit both for weights and measures. This unit is called a meter and is theoretically one ten-millionth of the distance from the equator to the pole on the earth's surface. A metal bar having the limits of a meter marked on it is the international standard and is kept at the international bureau of weights and measures in Paris. To obtain a unit of weight the amount of distilled water at four degrees Centigrade contained in a hollow cube, the internal dimensions of which are one one-hundredth of a meter, is called a gram. The ratio between different denominations in this system is ten, that is, it is a decimal system and in this respect is like the United States system of money. The Latin prefixes deci, centi and milli are used to express divisions of the gram and meter. Thus a centigram is one one-hundredth of a gram and a centimeter is one one-hundredth of a meter. The Greek prefixes deka, hecto and kilo are used to represent multiples of gram or meter. Thus a kilogram is 1,000 grams and a kilometer 1,000 meters. Making comparisons between the metric system and our own, a meter is about a yard, a kilogram about two pounds, and this when applied to water is called a liter and is about a quart. A centimeter is about one-third inch. A metric ton is nearly the same as our ton. A kilometer is about three-fifths of a mile. One hundred square meters is called an are, and a hectare or 100 ares is about $21\frac{1}{2}$ acres. Our coin known as the nickel weighs about five grams. This system was formally adopted by the French government in 1799 and has since become the standard in all civilized countries excepting Great Britain, Russia and the United States. In 1866, by act of congress, it was made permissive in this country, and since that time various attempts to make it mandatory have failed. In England and Russia practically the same conditions obtain. Probably the most potent reason that prevents the legal adoption of the system in England, Russia and the United States is the expense. The fact that it is not more generally used is probably due to the somewhat formidable nomenclature and to the fact that most children become familiar with the old system before selfishness of Haman caused him to erect a gallows fifty feet high for Mordecai, on which, by a strange providence, he was himself hanged. Lot was punished for his selfishness toward Abraham, because he chose the best pasture lands for his own herds. Achan lost his life because he preferred the wedge of gold to the welfare of Israel. Judas sold his own soul, and not the Master, for thirty pieces of silver. A mother cried frantically to stop a runaway team, for a child was on the wagon. A bystander said: "You are a foolish woman for making such a fuss; it is not your child." "I know that," said the woman, "but it is some mother's child." All Christian service that is worthy of the name is unselfish. Christ pleased not himself; for he gave his life a ransom for others. What this old world wants is lives that are full of unselfish deeds. form. Neglected, badly housed and improperly clad, the child of a poor nonworker is terribly handicapped at the start. It has not a fair opportunity with which to begin life's struggle. And it is the consciousness of this, the knowledge that no employment for the head of the house blights the child's whole happiness and comfort, which makes it the most appalling of all the phases of the poverty question. The haunting cry of poor children for food which the father cannot supply, and which the mother is powerless to give, is truly heart-rending. The only remedy for destitution, poverty and crime is employment for all. We must improve conditions, for the sake of the work seekers, many of whom are burdened with family responsibilities, and upon whom innocent children are dependent. has been my experience that the college men will get into more accidents than the unskilled laborer who can't speak English. If greater caution in ordinary affairs were instilled into our youth early it would become almost second nature for graduates of our schools to take care or themselves, but when one has to wait until he reaches college to be shown how to defend one's body, it is a difficult matter. I believe caution should be taught to children in the schools as well as in the homes. Simplicity of Metric Weights and Measures By Frank G.

On Thursday evening, Feb. 25, Miss Veronia Hildegarde Mason, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. S. Mason, was married to Mr. Walter B. Escue. The ceremony was solemnized by the Rev. R. L. Pope at the home of Mesdames E. Walden and J. E. Bruce. Violin solo, Prof. Geo. Morrison; accompanist, Mr. Valuarez Spratlin. Promptly at 8 o'clock the wedding march played by Mrs. Mae E. Byrd, accompanied by Prof. Morrison, the bridal party descended the stairs. Misses Richardson and Colston as ribbon girls were dressed in white silk messaline. The flower girl, little Hazel Hawkins, a cousin of the bride, and the ring bearer, little Lillian Ector, entered next and were dressed in white with pink butterfly bows in their hair. Miss Elsie McWilliams as maid of honor and Miss Madie Nelson as bridesmaid were gowned in blue messaline and carried pink carnations. The bride was given away by her father. She was handsomely gowned in white chiffon over white silk messaline, with rhine stone trimmings, made by her mother and carried a boquet of bride's roses. Her veil was artistically caught with orange blossoms. The house was beautifully decorated, pink and white being the color scheme. The ceremony was performed in the library under a large white bell which was toled just as the happy couple was pronounced man and wife, showering them with rice. From each corner of the room were suspended garlands of white wistaria and asparagus fern. Over the door forming an arch were Easter illies, while in the parlor were suspended garlands of pink and white roses. In the dining room pink and white hearts were strung from the four corners of the room. The table in the dining room was presided over by Mesdames Thrower and Yochum, while Miss M. A. Graves and Mrs. L. Jones presided at the punch bowl. Those assisting in serving were Mesdames Turner, Colston, Starkes, Ross, Bruce, Richardson, Johnson, Derry, Robinson, Misses Jessie Ford, Mary Colston, Alice Foster, Marie Starkes, Lillian Richardson; Master Cuthbert Byrd on the door. The groom, who is just 21, and his best man, Mr. Thornton Lippins, were attired in conventional evening dress. The bride, who is 18, is a native Colorado girl and at the time of her marriage, was a student of the Manual Training high school. She is a favorite among the younger set, an energetic church worker, especially in the Sunday school and Christian Endeavor. Many handsome and useful presents were given them, including cut glass, silverware, linen, chinaware, leather chairs, china cabinet, dressing table and chair, etc. Mr. and Mrs. Escue are at home to their friends at 23g2 Humboldt St. THE PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN.

P., Pastor Our pastor's sermon topics tomorrow will be as follows: 11 a. m., "Lessons the Heathens May Teach Us," and at 7:30 p. m., "Misused Light." A free church social for the members and friends of Shorter is the latest forecast for our activities. Watch for the date. The luncheon served at the parsonage Thursday evening by the Deaconess Board was both a pleasant and profitable affair. With the return of Sister Hall, the president, the board has taken on new life and the next quarterly report will be the largest rendered for a long time. Mr. Wm. Parks, who professed Christ and united with Shorter last Sabbath morning, received the most general and hearty welcome from the membership we have witnessed for a great while. On a number of occasions Brother Parks has rendered signal service in this community in giving relief to the poor and unfortunate. Now that he has allied himself with the Christian church, it is hoped that even greater works will show forth in him. Our Sunday school, A. C. E. League and choir are making elaborate preparations for the observance of Eastertide. The exercises will culminate in the thrilling Easter cantata, "The Cross and Crown," the most brilliant ever written by L. E. Ashford. The music has been in the hands of the choir for about six weeks and the public is promised even a superior service to that very splendid cantata rendered last Easter.

Fundamental Principles of Health Constipation or chronic 'intestinal stasis, as it is now officially designated, with its attendant poisoned state of the blood from time immemorial has been held responsible for most of ill's humanity is heir to. In the past constipated patients were plied with pill and powder, oils, salts, waters and other laxative compounds, both natural and manufactured. One after the other invariably they all failed in the end and the doctor had to be again consulted. Generally he only varied the dose of this or that or prescribed another drug, without any attempt at a thorough investigation, and generally, too, without even so much as a cursory examination. Finally the public caught the idea and ceased going to the doctor for such a minor ailment and experimented with various pills, powders and waters, such as the ingenuity of the manufacturer could devise or the druggist could suggest. Aided and abetted by the artistic lithographer and the circus bill poster, an educational campaign for instruction on how every man may become his own physician now forms a highly suggestive background to the general landscape throughout the country. As the result of clever advertising campaigns the carrying of a box of laxative tablets, pills or candy in the pocket in order to facilitate the regular daily dose of the remedy has become habitual with a large percentage of our people. Constipation unfortunately is not an insignificant local affair that may easily be overcome by some simple remedy but, on the contrary, it is generally a symptom of a slowly developing constitutional condition, the specific name of which will appear in the death certificate of the victim. It is only of late years that we really have begun to understand the relations existing between constipation and the rest of the body; to comprehend that functional inactivity in the gastric tract is perhaps but a part of a general functional derangement certain to end disastrously if not corrected by a comprehensive readjustment of individual habits and relations. Just as it is impossible for us to understand human society until we are able to visualize it, according to the teachings of Herbert Spencer, as an organism, as a living evolving body, just so is it impossible for us to understand our individual physical ills until we are able to reverse this process of Spencer's and visualize these bodies of ours as a society of individual units co-operating for mutual help and protection. When we came to understand that our bodies are composed of individual cells, each a comprehensive individual unit, and that the welfare of the body as a whole depends on the welfare of that individual cell or unit, then it becomes fairly clear and easy for us to grasp our needs and the reasons for our ills and we begin to see a logical way out of our difficulties. By far the most important factor in the maintenance of health is food. To the average individual food means something edible and palatable, which will satisfy the demands of hunger and thirst and enable him to maintain normal strength of body and mind. Up to a very recent time textbooks on physiology taught that the three chief foods of men were proteids, fats and carbohydrates. Tucked away in an obscure corner, if indeed they were at all mentioned, under the name of ash the mineral salts received a bare mention, the author usually explaining that little or nothing was known of their action in physiology. Recently we have come to understand that not only are there many proteids and that some proteids do not alone suffice to sustain human life, but we have come to understand also that proteids, fats and carbohy-drites are not the three chief foods of man. Going back through millions of years to the single cell, to the ameba state of existence, we find that the primary food elements were, and still are, air, water and mineral salts. Coming up the long ladder of progressive animal evolution, we finally come to a period where proteids, fats and carbohydrates, in fixed definiteness and proportion, became necessary to us as vertebrates; and, while these three classes of foods are absolutely vital to our existence as higher animals, we are beginning to comprehend that they are still subsidiary to the first three—exactly as our more recently acquired brain, superimposed on to our primitive sympathetic system, has recently been demonstrated to be subsidiary to the ductless gland system comprising our primordial nervous system. The individual workers of the body, the cells composing our bodies, are nourished by the blood stream, and the most valuable components of that wonderful fluid are known to be the mineral salts, and these are absolutely necessary to maintain the normal composition and activity of the individual cell; hence the same must be true of the complete organism, because the organism is constructed out of the blood stream. Any blood which is formed from improper food, or from proper food improperly prepared or badly cooked, is chemically of a poor quality and cannot furnish the right material for the upbuilding and normal functioning of the individual. Constipation is positive evidence of defective metabolism resulting from inadequate food elements, and only will be corrected by the correction of one's personal food intake and general habits. The habitual use of laxatives is useless and dangerous. CAUSES OF CONSTIPATION Habitual use of laxatives is useless and dangerous. That positive statement is made in the light of 25 years' observation of cases that have persistently followed the laxative habit because it appeared to be vastly easier to take a simple little pill, guaranteed to produce satisfactory results, than it was to follow an intelligently planned but necessarily prolonged dietetic regime. Herein lies the prestige and the charm of the purgative habit: It is the can opener principle. You buy physiological activity instead of making it yourself according to the laws of nature, and thereby beat nature at her own game. It is quick and easy; results are "guaranteed." What constitutes constipation? As a rule few seek to analyze this question, but content themselves with the bare fact that there seems to be some lack of activity along the 35 feet of intestinal canal which appears to require correction. Then, without the least thought as to the ultimate results, one or more of the 60 odd traditional remedies are blindly recommended, or perhaps a supposed remedy may even be used solely on hear-say evidence by and from one absolutely without knowledge concerning the functional requirements of the human machine. In this connection there is food for thought in the following statement from one of our highest authorities: "Drugs of unknown physiological action cannot consciently be set to act upon bodily tissues in disease in which we are ignorant of deviations from the normal." What are the deviations from the normal in constipation? Contributions from the experimental physiologists, the clinician, the radiographer and the surgeon have only very recently enabled us to begin to understand the probable causes of constipation. We are finding that there are many causes and that very often the constipation is only a symptom of graver conditions than a "simple intestinal inactivity." Von Noorden, Boas, Strassburger and, most of all, Adolph Schmidt have added enormously to our fund of knowledge as to the physiology, mechanics and pathology of the alimentary tract. Boas' test breakfast and Riegel's test meal make it possible to determine the general functional activity of the stomach, while by means of Schmidt's test diet the functional activity of the intestines can be estimated practically as correctly as with the X-ray. Microscopic investigation of the feces under such conditions frequently discloses the fact that many cases of chronic constipation are due to the fact that the digestion is too good. Starling and Baylis proved that intestinal stasis, or constipation, is due to a diminution of an internal secretion, to a lack of the "hormones." The radiographer by means of the bismuth test meal is able to show to the naked eye the actual waves and contortions of the intestinal canal and has disclosed dislocated organs, festooned colons, dilated and kinked canals unsuspected by earlier clinic methods. The surgeon uncovers adhesions, ulcers and similar conditions often unsuspected from any definite symptoms. In addition to all the above conditions which may easily account for constipation, there is another cause not generally considered. Physiology teaches us that the expulsion of fecal matter from the intestines takes place in such a manner that the contents therein act as a kind of independent body with stimulating action upon the walls of the intestines and the plexus myentericus, a network of sympathetic nerves situated between the longitudinal and the circular muscular layers of the intestinal tract. As a result there follows a contraction of the walls of the intestines and their contents are expelled. All nerves, the plexus myentericus included, are under the control of the central nervous system, which creates motor impulses through the medium of the pneumogastric nerve (vagus), so that strong emotions, riental shock and the like may by reason of the irritation of the pneumogastric (vagus), the motor nerve of the intestines, produce a movement of the bowels, or an inhibitory or restraining influence through the intervention of the splanchnic (visceral) nerves may cause a check to the peristaltic movements. Obviously, then, mental states may also be at the bottom of some cases of constipation. But without any discrimination whatever the amateur, ignorant of the possible conditions, takes and recommends remedies promiscuously. And society stands aghast and puzzled at the increase of crime and disease: What is required more than all else is the practice of sane personal hygiene. HIS FRIEND'S WIFE By GORDON JOHNSTONE. (Copyright.) Barry Malone lifted his eyes from the carpet and stared at the touched head of the boy reading the newspaper. "Did I hear you right, Denny?" he asked. "Did you say Nora Reagan?" "Yes," he answered. "Mrs. Nora Reagan, East Thirty-fourth street." Malone pressed the hot ashes in his clay pipe and rubbed the bowl meditatively with the palm of his big hand. "Read it again, lad," he urged softly, as his gaze returned to the flowered pattern of the carpet. The boy read it with the intonation of a child reciting a memorized lesson at school. "A young widow. Has child for adoption. Unable to support. Baby eleighteen months old. Irish blue eyes. Weighs twenty pounds." Denny laid the paper in his lap and looked at the big man sitting on the horsehide chair. "Will you tear that out and give it to me, Denny?" the man asked. The boy complied with his request. Crossing the room, he picked up his hat and opened the door. "Where are you goin, Barry?" called Murphy senior from the kitchen. "For a bit of a walk, John," Malone answered. Reaching the avenue, he turned down. By the light in a store window he took out the ragged paper and studied the address. Replacing it in his pocket, he took up his walk, repeating the number to himself. Half-way down the street he found the address, and searched the dimly lighted hallway for the name. Running his eyes over the dirty mailboxes, he found it. He pressed the button. A pause ensued. There was no response. Again he rang and waited. After what seemed an interminable time the latch clicked. Pushing his way in, he climbed the stairs covered with oilcloth. On the second landing he backed into a corner to let a much-perfumed woman pass. On the floor above Nora Reagan stood in the lighted doorway, a little red head pillowed against her shoulder. Malone paused near the top and looked at her. The woman peered into his face. "Barry!" she cried. "Barry Malone!" She staggered back into the room. "Is it yourself, or am I dreaming?" "It's no dream, Noreen," he answered. "It's myself." A bright flush crept up from her white throat over her face and lost itself in the bronze hair. She had not heard that old name in ages. To her husband she had always been Nora. No one but her mother and Barry had ever called her Noreen, and that was years ago on the bogs round Wexford. She reached out her disengaged hand to him. "Come in, Barry," she said, "and bring your happiness with you. 'Tis a sight you are to cure blind eyes. And it's a girl I am again to see you." Malone stepped into the room and closed the door. Turning, he looked at the frail little figure radiating her joy, but showing the signs of a battle against odds. The face would always be beautiful. There was the milklike skin, and the charm of eyes and hair. The girls of Nora Reagan's coloring were the glory of Ireland. Malone's eyes rested on the little red head pressed against her shoulder, and the wonder of a childless man dreamed in their depths. He dropped into the chair she pointed out to him. "Barry," she cried, "it was my good angel that sent you tonight. There was a woman here just now that wanted to take the baby." Nora's voice fell to a horrified whisper: "And, Barry, there was paint on her cheeks. Think of it! Red paint! Malone remembered the woman he passed in the hall. "Yes," he said; "I met her on the way." The woman shuddered and hugged the little bundle closer. Malone glanced up at the crayon on the wall. "When did Tim go?" he asked quietly. "Twelve months this morning Tuesday." "I've been down in Panama," he apologized—"working on the canal. I don't know much about what's going on." "He was killed in the expressman's strike," she explained. "He used to speak of you very often, Barry, and wonder where you were keeping yourself." "God never made a better man," he murmured. "I said that when you chose him." "And he was always saying that of you, Barry," she returned. The baby's chubby hands crept over the woman's breast. Whatever want Nora had seen, the child had not shared it. Malone watched the little fingers with a feeling akin to awe. "What's the babbine?" he asked. "A girl?" Nora looked at him and shook her pretty head. A glad note sang in the man's voice. "A boy?" he questioned, as though unable to believe it. "Yes." "What's his name?" "You'd never guess." "Tim?" he ventured. "No." "Your father's?" Again Nora shook her head. "Twas Tim that named him." "What, Noreen?" "Barry," she answered, beaming in to his face. A strange light came into Malone's eyes, and his big hands opened and closed over his hat. "Yes," she continued; "I left it to Tim. The priest was for wanting the name of a saint, but Tim would have none of them. 'I'm going to call him after my comrade-lad,' he said. 'My comrade-lad that saved my life in Rosslair Harbor.' "Who is that? asked the priest. The finest lad ever made," answered Tim. 'My friend and comrade—Barry Malone.'" There are men in the world who will stand in the shadow of a great sorrow firm of lip and dry-eyed. But let the arrow of a beautiful happiness pierce their hearts and the tears will gush up from a living fountain. Barry Malone was one of them. "Will you let me hold him. Noeen?" he said, reaching out his arms. Nora laid the baby in them. The blue eyes turned up on him with all the wonder of unfathomable seas. He put his big finger into the little hand. The soft, petal-like slips closed over it with a clutch that seemed incredible. The hot blood rushed into Malone's face and his whole body trembled. Nora bent over the pair like a dove above her young. Gently he pulled his finger from its vise and reached in his pocket for his handkerchief to blow his nose. His fingers came in contact with the piece of paper, and he drew it out and passed it to the mother. "Twas that brought me here," he said, as she glanced over it. "I'm boarding with a family by the name of Murphy," he continued. "The Murphys of Dungarvan—up on Forty-seventh street—and I've come down to ask you if you'll be living with us. There's plenty of room, and little—little Barry"—the name was music to him now—"will be a great comfort to us all. Will you be coming, Noreen?" Nora looked at him, and her breast Nora looked at him, and her breast rose and fell with its joy. "Now, Barry?" she asked. "Tonight, Noreen." The woman glanced round at the furniture. "What will I do with this?" "We'll talk about that tomorrow," he smiled. "It's of no importance now." For a second she hesitated and then disappeared in an inner room. When she returned she wore her hat and carried a small bundle. "All ready?" he asked. "Yes." "Then 'faugh a ballah!'" he cried, jumping to his feet. The woman gave a little, frightened scream and clutched the baby. Malone laughed. "He's snug as a bug in a rug. Noeen—don't be afeard." Nora put out the light while Barry waited in the hall with the baby. "Tis like the old days, Barry!" she cried as she joined him. "Only there wasn't any little lad on your shoulders then." "Wasn't there, though?" he smiled as he paused on the second step. "Are you for forgetting Sheamus!" "My brother!" she cried. "Yes," he answered; "but there was one thing I was having in the old days that I'm not having now." "What was that, Barry?" "A kiss, alanna." The woman leaned over the railing and her mouth touched the laughing lips upturned above the little red head. ACTION OF TRIGGER FINGER In Its Operation Writer Points Out How Much It Resembles a Pocket Knife. "The peculiar action of a trigger finger resembles that seen when a pocket knife is opened or shut," writes Dr. Adoniram B. Judson, in reporting such a case to the Lancet. "Movement is smooth till a square shoulder at the near end of the blade presents an obstacle which retards motion till a certain point is reached, which motion is accelerated with a jerk. "A counterpart of this obstacle may be found perhaps in a node on an articular surface, where it would cause the halting action of a trigger finger. In the construction of a knife, however, an important feature is present which is absent from the anatomy of the hand, and that is the strong steel spring concealed in the handle of the knife. It produces positive pressure between the surfaces composing the metallic joint. If the spring were absent, or if its place were taken by a strip of some inert substance like cork, there would be no jerk, and shutting and opening the knife would be perfectly smooth. "While there is nothing very closely resembling a steel spring in the hand or forearm, still we may find in muscular action a force which draws the surfaces together and creates a pressure comparable with that produced by the steel spring." In the Wake. "I follow the medical profession." remarked the newcomer proudly. "Surgeon?" we asked politely, just to make conversation. "Undertaker," he replied sententiously, though gravely. At that, we considered the rejoinder a bit cryptic and "broused in gloom.--Philadelphia Public Ledger. ST. PATRICK'S RETURN FROM GOD'S OWN HAND Every True Irishman Believes the Good Saint Will Go Back to the Emerald Isle. ANYONE on the west coast of Ireland will tell you that some day St. Patrick is coming back to Ireland, the land he loved. No one says when that day will be, although there is reason to believe that it will be on the day of the final judgment of the world. Whether or not his return is desirable depends altogether upon the point of view of the teller of the prophecy. If he be a gloomy pessimist he is likely to remark that St. Patrick can't come soon enough, God knows. If he be a cheerful optimist he will add, "and may that day be far although 'twill be a good day whenever it comes." Ireland has a personal regard for St. Patrick probably equaled by no other country in the world in its relation to a patron saint; and so it is that the prophesied return of the missionary to the isle has had a historic bearing upon certain of its characteristics and events, so that even the passing of the home rule bill has met in certain remote districts of Ireland with the turn of phrase, "If St. Patrick came back now, 'tis the pleased man he'd be." And, indeed, if St. Patrick were to return to the island to which he came so many centuries ago he would find some marvelous changes wrought by the early years of the twentieth century. For Ireland has been passing through a peaceful revolution and its results would be even more apparent to a watchful patron than they would be to the average observer. The revival of the Irish language has a history of tremendous interest to the student of statesmanship. The system of summer schools for students in the districts where the Irish language was still a living language has been strikingly successful and has done much to break down the sectionalism of Ireland. Although the passage of the home rule bill through the commons is nominally the most important event in the history of Ireland in the last two decades, nevertheless the student of Irish history recognizes that the measure is merely the culmination of Ireland's struggle to maintain her nationality. And should St. Patrick come back to his island he would find that Ireland had, by remembering The days of old Ere faithless sons betrayed her When Malachi wore the collar of gold. won back from her past the circlet of her glory and is on the high road to the throne of the national independence and integrity that her children, no matter where scattered, have held as the ideal of their country's state. IRISH PROVERBS He who gets a name for early rising may sleep all day. Where there's a woman there's talk, and where there's geese there's cackling. A woman has an excuse readier than an apron.

The husband of the sloven is known amongst the crowd. Don't praise your son-in-law till the year's out. Better the end of a feast than the beginning of a fight. Never take a wife who has no faults.

IRISH IN AMERICAN CITIES ```markdown ``` NEW YORK BOSTON The figure of Uncle Sam shows the "pure American" population, the other figure the Irish population. Lesson From Life or Saint. St. Patrick's day, to those that know history, is a day important to men of every nationality and of every religious faith, as well as to the Irish and to those that believe in the Catholic religion. St. Patrick proved that courage is the great asset of the human being and that what a man is determined to get he can get, if he will fight persistently and without fear.

I have left you behind In the path of the past, With the white breath of flowers, With the best of God's hours, I have left you at last. St. Patrick's Day Millions of the brave sons and fair daughters of Erin, as well as a countless number of people who are not so fortunate as to have Irish blood in their veins, Irish poetry in their hearts and Irish wit in their heads, are wearing green in affectionate memory of a little island across the sea and in reverent memory of its patron saint. And March, in a gentle springtime mood, lights the day with sunshine! St. Patrick, dead in the flesh for many centuries, lives in spirit and exercises a benign influence over the multitude which holds him dear. There are other saints, but St. Patrick is one of those virile, forceful saints whose claims on the love of mankind do not weaken as the centuries pass St. Patrick and the Snakes The versions of the method employed by Saint Patrick in ridding Ireland of snakes varies. In the north countries, where there seems to be more of poetry, one is told that it was through the charm of the shamrock—Saint Patrick's symbol—the reason for its adoption being its trefoil leaves, used as a convincing illustration of the doctrine of the Trinity. Firm be the triple league they form. Despite all change of weather. In sunshine, darkness, calm or storm. Still may they fondly grow together Superstition Lingers. In some parts of Ireland there is superstition that the "poochaun" (fairy) blows a poisonous breath on the sloe on halloween, and to eat the berry after November 1 would result in serious illness, if not death. For this reason the youth of the country, although fond of the sloe, will shun it after the visit of the "poochaun." WASHINGTON GOSSIP City Called Washington Is Not Known to the Law WASHINGTON.—It cannot be proved by the census office that anyone lives in a city called Washington. Congress convenes there, but knows the city not. Verily, Washington is a literal example of what a wit once called There are only two business transactions that concern the city as a city; you can buy a railroad ticket or mail a letter to or from Washington. People will tell you offhand that Washington is coterminous with the District of Columbia. That is a reasonable conclusion, but it is not supported by any legal definition; and, moreover, there is no specific authority for the origin of this name as applied to the federal territory. It is understood that legislation is about to be introduced to change all this, fathered by one who contends that it was intended from the very beginning that the federal capital bear the name of Washington; wherefore, if the District of Columbia and the federal capital are synonymous, the former term is a corruption which has crept in and should be discarded. The idea is to formulate a bill demanding that the words District of Columbia shall be struck out of all legislation concerning the federal capital and the words Washington City be inserted in their place. "Made-in-America" Flags for the Coast Guard "MADE-IN-AMERICA" flags may be substituted for the bunting that now flies from coast guard cutters and stations. The coast guard is experimenting with flags of cotton material, with the possibility of substituting cotton flags that they will weather these conditions and be nearly as good as ever. Also, the cotton flag costs about half as much as the bunting flag; a considerable item of expense, where there are 329 flags flying daily, as many more in shipholds and station lofts, and also 17,000 signal flags, counting sets in use and those in reserve, owned by the coast guard. There are 44 coast guard cutters in service, and most of them having one or more extra flags besides the one flying from the peak. A flag is flying daily from each of the 285 coast guard stations on shore, and perhaps as many more are held in reserve. Each coast guard cutter carries at least twenty-six signal flags of the international code, making a full set. The flags of the former revenue cutter and life-saving service will continue in use on cutter and station until they wear out. All the new flags will bear the title, "United States Coast Guard," instead of the former appellations. It may be years before the last flag representative of the older services is disposed of. Post Office Inspector on a Long Honeymoon Trip POST OFFICE INSPECTOR E. P. SMITH walked into the office of Chief Inspector Joe P. Johnston the other day as the head of the postal secret service was perusing the list of post offices that had not been checked up. "Guam," repeated the chief. "How long will it take you to get ready to go there?" "I am ready," answered Smith, figuring that he was to be dispatched on an ordinary journey. "Where is it?" "On the other side of the world," said Johnston, without cracking a smile. "Better go home and pack up. You will need a trunk for this trip. You will cover about twenty-five thousand miles before you get back." Smith, like a good reporter, did as he was told. When he returned in the morning he was accompanied by a pretty little woman. "My wife," he said, introducing Mrs. Smith to his chief. "If you have no objections I will take her with me. I will pay her expenses. We never have had a real honeymoon trip and this looks like a real chance." Chief Johnston gave his consent and in a few minutes the gleeful Smiths were on the way to Union station. It probably will take Smith about one day to check up the accounts of Postmaster B. F. Duarte of Guam. Uncle Sam Will Conserve the Thanksgiving Bird Uncle Sam Will Conserve the Thanksgiving Bird IF the American turkey is to play as important a part in the Thanksgiving and Christmas feasts of the future as it has in the past, people of the United States must learn more about the methods of raising this great The federal bureau of animal industry has sent Andrew Weiant, one of its scientific assistants, on a survey which will cover the whole country and which will include a thorough study of methods of management, not only of turkeys, but also of guinea fowl. The guinea fowl is occupying a more and more important place as an article of food because of the fact that it has taken the place of game in many parts of the country where wild' game birds have become scarce. Mr. Weiant will travel through all the sections of the country where turkey raising has been developed as an industry. The government's expert will study not only methods of management in the different sections, but will look into the cause of the great loss in turkeys. The principal cause, it is generally known, is the peculiar disease known as "black-head," and the agricultural department's expert will study the methods of management which have been put into operation to check the spread of this disease.

TO PREPARE AND USE VEGETABLES AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT EXPERTS GIVE RESULTS OF STUDY AND EXPERIMENT. SOME PLANTS EATEN RAW Fresh Vegetables an Essential Part of Man's Diet—How Waste Can Be Avoided in the Compounding of Salads. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Fresh green vegetables are generally relished and form a part of man's diet whenever they can be obtained. Such vegetables may be called salad plants though it is difficult to classify plants according to the uses to which they are put, for almost all are used for many different purposes. Lettuce, for example, a vegetable which in this country is most always eaten raw, in Europe is often cooked, and thus it becomes a potherb as well as a salad plant. Water cress, though often used as a salad, is sometimes used simply as a condiment. Peas, beans, potatoes and vegetables such as spinach, which are most commonly served as a "vegetable," are often put into salads. In spite of these difficulties in the way of classification, we may include under salad plants those whose leaves and stems are usually eaten raw with a sour dressing, and define a salad as a dish consisting in whole or in part of vegetables, either raw or cooked, mixed with a sour dressing. Salad dressing usually contains a fat as well as an acid. Housekeepers often claim to know and care little about salads, but those who dig wild Jerusalem artichokes in the spring or start the early peppergrass or radish to serve as relishes at the table are providing salads for their families; or again, those who prepare the cold vegetables left at noon, such as "greens," with a dressing even of salt and vinegar for supper, make salads. Fresh cucumbers with vinegar or other dressing are salads just as much as are the more elaborate dishes. The derivation of the word salad shows it to mean a food to be eaten with salt. It would be better to keep near to this original meaning rather than to go to the extreme of some housekeepers who, in their search for novelties for their tables, build up salads from strange combinations in ornate forms. The distinctive salad plants are very succulent; that is, they consist mainly of water. Hence, they are especially refreshing in warm weather. As a separate course they are a pleasant contrast to the heavier dishes of a formal meal. They also serve to prevent too great concentration of food, and thus aid in the digestive process. Upon the valuable saline properties of these raw plants we are just beginning to place a definite value, though evidently these were recognized by the instinct of the people of the far past. Fat is a compact food and, weight for weight, is about two and a quarter times as valuable as protein or carbohydrate for fuel in the human body. A tablespoonful of oil would go farther toward supplying energy for keeping the human machinery running than a large head of lettuce. Over all the world people have instinctively added a condensed dressing consisting mainly of oil, bacon fat, or cream to the salad plants bulky with cellular tissue and water, and have eaten such salads with meat and bread supplying protein and carbohydrate, and thus have secured a fairly balanced ration. Modern study of bacteriology indicates that pagan and religious ceremonies of purification by fire and water had definite value for healthful life in this world. Water cleanses to some extent, but only through intense or long-continued heat is complete sterilization and freedom from bacteria and parasites secured. Therefore great care is needed in the selection and preparation of foods which are not to be subjected to heat. Cress, lettuce, and other salad plants, carelessly cultivated and handled in the market and half cleaned in the kitchen, may transmit disease, as may milk, raw oysters and other animal foods. The fashion of cutting across a head of lettuce or celery, though it may give each person a fair share of the choice and less tender portions, cannot be recommended, because it is practically impossible to cleanse the axils of the leaves, the grooves where they join the stem. All such plants should be separated in their natural divisions and washed in more than one water, individual attention being given to hollows in stalks or leaves. Sand is unplacant, but less harmful than other things that may be left behind after washing; its presence, however, justifies the suspicion that the washing was not thorough or carefully done. Vegetables such as spinach, which are difficult to free from grit, should be washed in a number of waters, and lifted out of the pan each time in loose handfuls before the water has been drained off. In this way the sand and grit has an opportunity to sink to the bottom of the pan, while if the vegetables are left in it, part of the sand at least is again distributed over the washed leaves. Green vegetables should, always be looked over carefully to make sure that any inferior portions, insects, or other things which are undesirable are removed. The quality of vegetables may be greatly injured by insect pests and plant diseases. If the plant suffers very severely from such enemies, it cannot make normal growth, and so all or parts of it may be inferior. For instance, green peas or string beans from vines badly attacked by insects or by some fungous disease do not attain full perfection. Obviously, leaves used as greens are of inferior quality if worm-eaten. Insect pests and plant diseases can often be controlled by the use of insecticides and in similar ways. If such things are used there is all the more reason for washing vegetables thoroughly before preparing them for the table, to remove any hellebore, copper salts, or other substance used in treating the plant, which may adhere to it. Salt in the water will aid in drawing out parasites if they happen to be present. There is distinct advantage in washing all salad plants in running water, especially for the removal of insects from lettuce. After washing several times and removing imperfections, salad plants may be kept in a cool place like a cellar or refrigerator for some hours or even a day before using. After draining off the last water, wrap the leaves or stalks in a cloth or put in a clean paper bag; this is more effective than keeping them in water. Do You Know That- The COLORADO STATESMAN IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING During the cleaning process it is advisable to sort out the coarsest portions to add to soup materials; the next best may not be attractive to serve by themselves, but can be cut or shredded for combination with other materials, while the best of all—the heart of the cabbage, celery, or lettuce—should be served in the least elaborate way with salt or a simple dressing. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Save Waste in Making Salads. No plan for serving salads should be encouraged which leads to a waste of food material. If it is desired to use the outer portion of a cabbage for a salad bowl, any adhering dressing may afterwards be washed off and the cabbage used for a scallop or soup. The outer leaves may be cooked for greens or soup. Many materials may be combined with the cabbage, celery, and lettuce—raw apples, radishes, or even canned fruit, such as pears cut in slices or cubes. Lettuce is generally recognized in this country as the main dependence for salad by itself and in combination with other foods. There are many varieties, adapted to different conditions, but all may be classed under two general heads—the cabbage lettuce, where the heads are solid and compact, and the cos lettuce, where the leaves are long and loose and less delicate than those of the other type. Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. Romaine is an example of cos lettuce. There are also varieties with blanched centers and curly varieties with dark-tinged leaves. Chicory may be cultivated for salad, and is more desirable when blanched. Endive, which is nearly related to chicory, is another useful salad plant. The corn salad or lamb's lettuce is a small plant often found in city markets. 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. Sorrel, wild and cultivated, some young and tender seaweeds, and many mild-flavored plants or weeds may be used as raw salads. Others are better for partial cooking, even if served cold as salads. Celery in its wild state is an unpromising if not harmful vegetable; by cultivation, and especially by blanching its leafstalks, it has been made a popular salad plant, and has been thought to have certain medicinal virtues. The fibrous outer stalks and larger white leaves of a bunch of celery should be reserved for soup making. Some of the larger stalks, too stringy to serve whole, may be used in salads if cut in quarter inch slices, or if too tough for that, may be cooked after cutting and added to soups or served with white sauce or toast. The tender inner stalks should be served plain to eat with salt. Sometimes the groove in the stalk is filled with prepared cheese. The center of the root is a delicate morsel.

After spending the morning looking round the big shops and the center of the city, the young man suggested that as it was near one o'clock they should look out for a suitable eating-house to get something to eat. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Having spotted a likely place, they entered and took their seats at a small table, and when the waitress came for their order the young man asked for a sixpenny meat-pie. This was brought in due course, and he started eating it with evident relish. The girl waited a little time wondering very much where she came in. At last, in sheer desperation, she said to her companion: "Is the pie good, Jock?" is the pie good, Jock. "Good? " replied Jock, "I should think it is; it's ripping! You should get one." In School Days. When Walter Scott was a boy his teacher asked him to give the part of speech of the word "with." "It's a noun," said young Scott. "You are very stupid," said the teacher. "How came you to say such a thing?" "I got it from the Bible, sir," said the future novelist, stoutly. "There's a verse that says 'they bound Samson with withs.'"

The skill of the manufacturer must be equal to making up the most fanciful dreams of those who originate sunshades that look like big, brightly colored flowers, with their cups inverted. They have seized upon the Persian designs in silks, upon the broad stripes and checks, and appropriated bold-figured laces to make the most intricate and the most captivating things! One of the simpler designs is shown in the picture. It is rather large and bowl-shaped. Its first covering is of white silk. Posed over this is a vaguely flowered overcovering finished with a scallop at the edge in each panel of the parasol. The scallops terminate in a small ornament which, with a portion of the edge, hang free from the undercovering. A pretty parasol, smaller in size and not so deeply curved, is covered with white taffeta. Long diamond-shaped panels of Persian silk in bright colors, with red dominant among them, are shirred so that their edges are narrow ruffles. One of these is mounted over each rib, their upper points disappearing under the tip at the top. The lower point reaches within about five inches of the edge of the white taffeta covering. This is a gay and rich-looking little affair, suited to almost any light summer costume. Plain white parasols with borders of black and white "checkerboard" silks are novel and immensely smart. They are not expensive, ranking in price with those made of broad stripes. Among the latter a black and white striped covering has a border of bright Persian silk at the edge, about six A Word or Two About Caps 土 土 WITHOUT any claim to originality to aid them these two bouoir caps unblushingly call attention to themselves as noteworthy. They are examples of what the new laces bring to morning caps in the way of attractiveness and grace. If these laces and nets were less supple, they would not fall in such soft ruffles, and if they were too sheer they would not make such successful plaitings and hair coverings. The cap at the left has a full soft crown of all-over lace and a frill of lace about the face which widens toward the back, where it covers the neck. It is adjusted to the head by the elastic cord that is run in a casing on the under side where the frill joins the crown. A few little roses of chiffon, joined by long stems of silk-covered cord, wander aimlessly over the crown. The cap at the right is made of fine net, having a broad panel of lace along the center of the crown running from front to back. The frill is of plaited net and the cap is adjusted with a small elastic cord. Narrow satin ribbon is laid in a series of short puffs across the front of the cap, ending at each side in a short, pointed end. These are the simplest inches wide. It is made on the frame that we are all familiar with, and is moderate in design as well as price. Parasols of shepherd's check, bordered with bright-colored bands, are not new in designs, but they are, like the all-white ones, always in style. They look especially smart with outing hats and dresses, and will be seen with the Panama hat decorated with a sash in the same color as the band on the sunshade. They are among the least costly of all and stand near the head of the list of desirable accessories for summer toilets. Finish for Lingerie. An exquisite finish for lingerie can be achieved by crochet work, says the Modern Priscila. Instead of buttonholing neck and sleeves, cut smoothly, following the lines of the pattern. Turn from you with forefinger of left hand, following the method known as rolling or whipping. Over this crochet with fine cotton, white or colored, using four single stitches, and picot of four chain. Set all close together. It is substantial, dainty, producing effect similar to tatting, and is rapid work. Liberty in Sleeves. There is a delightful liberty in the realm of arm covering. To each arm its sleeve is evidently the creed of the designers at the moment. If a woman wishes to let an admiring public see that she has been given the rare gift of a lovely arm she may adopt the Grecian shoulder drapery which serves as a sleeve, but is careful not to hide a fraction of the arm. 土 of caps, innocent of wires. There are any number of others, in all sorts of shapes, all suggesting the hour of golden leisure spent at home. They are only a part of the story of caps, which continue to flourish in the smile of favor which the dancing girl still bestows upon them. But the dancing cap is really another story. The Hair at Night. When sleeping, the head should always be uncovered and the hair will retain its beauty and luster much longer. Brush the hair thoroughly, then raise it nearly to the crown of the head and braid it in one long braid. It can then be thrown over the pillow and you can sleep on either side or the back without lying on the hair, and the hair is getting a good airing all night. Several skirts for dancing have old-fashioned lace flounces, two or three of them, festooned under roses, and individualists are elongating their lace sleeves until they form mitts with thumbs to cover the top of the hands.
