(From Philadelphia Tribune) "Connection is broken." Have you not frequently heard a statement of that kind? There is the great electric light plant of the city, with its huge dynamos and its tremendous power to generate electricity and conduct it to the farthest limits of the corporation and into the country beyond. At the turn of a button your home may be flooded with light. But one evening you pushed the button without results. Somewhere along the line connection was broken. Somewhere there was no point of contact between the wires which supplied the current and those which fed the lamp in your room. You may have the most perfect equipment, the plant which supplies electricity may be the best in the land but unless there is vital contact between the two you must remain in darkness. So with the telephone service. It is no use to keep you in touch with those you want to talk to if somewhere the connection is broken. So with the Christian. His life is a vital union with God. All men agree that there is no true Christian life without union with Christ. The Man of Sorrow sought to impress this truth, I think, in that wonderful parable of the vine and the branches. It is plain that only as the branch abides in the vine can it bring forth fruit. I have thus reasoned while thinking of Billy Sunday and his work in our city. I went to hear him several times and was elated over the apparent results of his preaching. But on one occasion while listening to him, the thought struck me that somewhere along the line the "Connection was broken" between him and God. This happened at the time the great evangelist was preaching on repentence, and he said that the preachers of the present day are as afraid to preach on that subject as a colored minister is afraid to preach to his flock against stealing chickens. Now, Mr. Sunday knows of the prejudice against colored people, and yet he was careful not to poke fun at any other class, supposed to have a historical weakness. And yet, too; he was cowardly enough to try to strike at the weakest class and offer it an insult, which he thought would tickle the worldly pride of those from whom he expected to get the most money. Thus to my mind showing that "Connection was broken" somewhere. ```markdown ``` JUST GONE WHITE CHAUFFEURS OB- JECT TO NEGRO DRIVER .Miami, Fla., March 23.—Members of the winter colony are up in arms because of the treatment accorded Charles Stultz, chauffeur for Edward L. Stone, president of the Stone Printing and Manufacturing Company of Roanoke, Va. Mr. Stone, accompanied by W. H. Lewis, superintendent of motive power of the Norfolk and Western Railroad, has been touring the South for several weeks in his auto, driven by Stultz, a Negro who has been in Mr. Stone's employ for several years. The local organization of white chauffeurs threatened Stultz and stated he would not be allowed to drive in Miami. Mr. Stone appealed to the police for protection and was furnished two men, but was told he could not be given absolute protection. Mr. Stone shipped his car to Roanoke, and went on to Havana in company with Mr. Lewis. Stultz returned home by train. Mr. Stone, in speaking of the incident, said that he had used Negro drivers all over the South, but never before experienced such outrageous treatment, which seemed peculiar to Miami. "I shall warn my friends in the North. I have submitted to the treatment merely to avoid trouble which the authorities admit they cannot prevent." The winter colony recented deeply the treatment accorded Mr. Stone and expressed themselves in emphatic terms. Harry S. Black, who employs a Negro porter on his private car, said: "I cannot express myself too forcefully on the outrageous reception to Mr. Stone and his friends. If I kept a car in Miama and a Negro chauffeur he would drive for me if I had to carry a shotgun to protect him, and then if anything happened I would hold the city and county responsible." "I would not allow anybody to bictate to me the color of my servant," said E. O. Eshelby, owner of the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. "You may quote me as strongly as you like in denouncing the Miami authorities for allowing such a condition to exist. I would drive my car as I pleased, and if necessary would enforce my right with a gun." Similar statements were made by Henry Sanford, James Deering and others of the winter colony. State Hist & Nat Hist Societies State House ANTS WHO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO CATHOLIC GAINS The Official Catholic Director shows that the Roman Catholic church has increased in numbers a quarter of a million in the last year. It also shows a gain of nearly four million in the past ten years and more than seven million in the past twenty years. These figures will alarm a great many good people, who will see in them the ultimate downfall of the Republic and a lot of other dire disasters. For our part, we should like to see more of the Catholic spirit instilled into our great Protestent and other denominations. The Catholic church in this country is that religious body in which wealth social distinction, class and race count for the least. The humblest, poorest and most ignorant immigrant entering New York can go up into the great Cathedral on Fifth avenue, and feel that he is welcome, and the truth is, he is welcome. Anyone in such circumstances would hesitate for some time before entering a rich Protestant church. It is almost impossible to think of a Catholic priest preaching race discrimination or urging his congregation to go out and lynch somebody. If all the great Christian organizations in this country had the religious and moral courage to openly disapprove the injustice, lawlessness and cruelty which the Negro has to suffer, those sins and crimes would soon be stopped. But they haven't got it. J. W. J. —New York Age DECREASE IN DEATH RATE AMONG COL. ORED PEOPLE Washington, D. C. March 22. The bulletin on Negroes in the United States to be issued about March 20, by William J. Harris, director of the census, department of commerce, will contain for the first time a statement regarding morality among Negroes. All previous census publications have given statistics for the total colored populations, in which was included the Chinese, Japanese, Indians and other non-whites. The data will be shown for the registration area of the United States, the registration states and certain selected cities. The Negro population of the area was 19.7 per cent of the total number of Negroes in the United States in 1910, and the deaths numbered 49,499, with a death rate of 25.5 per 1,000 population—a decrease as compared with the rate in 1900, which was 29.4. The selected cities shown are the fifty-seven registration cities which had, in 1910, a Negro popu- lation of 2,500 or more, for which comparable data are available in 1900. In the fifty-seven cities included in the table the death rate among Negroes in 1910 was 27.8 and that among whites 15.9 per 1,000, the rate among the Negroes being nearly twice as that for the whites. In the thirty-three northern cities the death rate among the Negroes was 25.1 and that among whites 15.7 per 1,000, while in twenty-four Southern cities the rate for Negroes was 29.6 and that for whites 16.9. Thus the death rates for each race were higher in the Southern than in the Northern cities, the difference between the races in respect to death rate also being greater in the South Read this girls and pass it along to the men folks: The girl who is unkind to her mother isn't worth a tinker's dog gone. This is not written in any part of the Bible, but it is written in the history of thousands and thousands of misfit homes. If a girl with her face full of smiles and eyes that would dim the lustre of a Colorado sky and a voice that would make the song of an angel seem discordant says as she goes to the door to admit one of her admirers; "I can't go for a few minutes; I must help mother with the dishes," don't give her up. Stick to her like a burr to a mule's tail. Sit down on the door-step and wait. If she joins you in two or three minutes so well and good, but if you have to stay there on the step an hour, just you wait for her. If you do not somebody else will, and in time you will be sorry for you will realize what you have lost. Wait for her, boys; she is worth it.—Grace Lucas-Thompson—Freeman.

Eleven men, under the death sentence, will be electrocuted at the penitentiary here, three of them during the present month, even of them being colored, as the result of the failure of the legislature to abolish capitol punishment, as it was expected to do.

Conan Doyle, who is in this country for a visit, is a giant in stature but a most delightful man to meet. He is an, enthusiastic fisherman. When he was last in this country in 1894 he stopped for a time at Saranac lake in the Adirondacks. A guest at the same hotel at that time describes him as attired in steel blue Scotch tweed, knee breeches and a Lochinvar cap. The coat was made as a Norfolk jacket and between the belt and his ponderous bulk was a pair of gloves which he disdained to wear because the weather was not cold enough, although it was late fall. - The Unnamed Locality. "And this," said the alleged old soldier, pestering a long-suffering editor who was an old soldier, "is where Arabs were massed in front of us. Here"—pointing to another place on a dirty pocket-map—"is where our division was drawn up in zareba. We deployed in this direction, and our left wing was attacked by the enemy on this knoll. Just at this point I was wounded on the left shoulder, and a hundred yards farther on I got my right arm shattered by a piece of one of our own shells, and—" "But," interrupted the bored editor, "where did you get your brains blown out."—London Tit-Bits.

AFHO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ‘Three judges of the United States circuit court of appeals listened with profound interest to the plea of a Ne- gro attorney, a one-time slave, who appeared before them in the Federal building at St. Louis. Probably few in the courtroom real- ized until he started his argument that 4 gray-haired Negro sitting near the front was a noted lawyer who has appeared before every United States judge in the central district in many famous trials. ‘The attorney, Turner W. Bell, rep- resented three men who are confined in the federal penitentiary at Leav- enworth, Kan., serving sentences on convictions of conspiracy in the fa- mous structural iron workers’ dyna- miting cases two years ago. Bell fingered his brief as he sat listening to the argument of Assistant United States District Attorney L. S. Harvey of the eastern district of Kansas, representing the government He had spoken but a few words, however, when the crowd knew that such incidents evidently were in the _ every-day life of the Negro lawyer. ‘The men represented by Bell are white and were given sentences of six years at Indianapolis in December, 1912 ‘They were convicted of being impli- cated in more than one hundred dyna- miting eases, including the destruc- tion of the Times building in Los An- geles, in half of the states of the United States. They were at one time officers of thé organization of which J. J. McNamara was a member and who is now serving a life sentence in California, Bell represented the men in the United States district court in Kansas last July and was defeated. He ap- pealed. Bell’s chief contention is that the men could legally have been convict- ed on but one charge under the re- vised statutes of the United States, and that the maximum penalty should have been but two years in the peni- tentiary or a fine of $10,000. They were charged with having transported dynamite throughout the country, and with the blowing up of a bridge at In. dianapolis. Bell‘has been a practicig attorney in Leavenworth 28 years. His “hobby,” he said, is appeal cases. In 1914 he filed 61 appeals in the United States courts, and was success ful in 41 of them. In but two cases were his clients Negroes. Bell was born a slave in Tennessee He was taken with his parents to Oskaloosa, Ia. when young, and earned enough money to carry him through a course in law. The day he was admitted to the bar, at Leavenworth, United States Judge Hook was in the courtroom, and Bell considers Judge Hook one ot his best friends. Among famous appeals in which Bell las been successful was the case of Charles A. Stevens, a wealthy Negro boy, of Kansas City, who stole a mail sack containing $55,800. Stevens’ sen: tence was reduced from ten to five years. As his fee Bell received $13, 000. For the first time in about a dozen years mackerel have been caught in the New Haven waters.

Gaskill is a Negro who purchased a lot in the cemetery, but was denied permission to bury a member of his family there by the trustees of the cemetery after they made the dis- covery that the purchaser was a Ne- gro. A bill for the relief of Gaskill passed the Illinois legislature some years ago, but was vetoed by the governor on the advice of the attorney general, ‘The case was dismissed by Chief Justice White on the ground that no federal question was involyed in the judgment rendered by the supreme court of Illinois, which found against Gaskill, In the opinion of an English scient- ist, the wear of macadam roads is not due to the suction of automobile tires, but almost entirely to the crushing ef- fect of horseshoes and iron-tired wheels, In view of prevailing high prices for necessities in Santiago, Chile, it is planned to establish municipal pro- vision shops there at an initial cost of $500,000, The neighbors say S.

Eli Williamson (colored) _ ninety years old, for many years a licensed pilot, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. W. B. Faire, in Washington, fol- lowing an illness lasting only five days. - For half a century Williamson had followed the sea before he retired and made his home in Washington. He served in the navy and in the mer- chant marine. He became a skillful pilot and was the first colored man to obtain a first-class license at the United States custom house at Nor- folk, Va. Captain Williamson, as he was known to his friends, was born in Mur- freesboro, N. C., December 23, 1824, the son of Trial and Winnie William- son, and the grandson of George Wil- liamson, who had been a noted shoe maker and had bought his freedom from his master by making fine shoes. Eli Williamson's freedom came to him from his grandfather. When he was a youth Williamson went to live with a family of Quakers, who taught him to read and write, to tie fishing nets and to rig seines for large fisheries. This gave him a taste for the sea which never left him. He enlisted in the United States navy and served faithfully. After leaving the navy Williamson entered the mer- chant service, and when the Civil war broke out he was chief pilot on the steamer Curlew. It was pressed into the service of the Confederacy and later was sunk. Williamson was highly regarded by the officers under whom he sailed. He did much to aid in the uplift of his race, and was the founder of the Cool Spring church at Franklin, Va. He married Miss Emmaline Hunter of Vir- ginia. Ten children were born to them, five growing to maturity. One son, the late W. E. Williamson of Norfolk, Va., died February 1, 1910. His four daughters, Mrs. Curlew Weaver, Mrs. Katherine Reid, Mrs. Sea Bird Faire and Mrs, Bmma Gray, survive him. For the last five years Captain Wil- liamson had made his home in Wash- ington with his daughter, Mrs. Faire. Burial was in Harmony cemetery be- side the body of his wife, who died Mareh 14, 1914. It is true, of course, that Professor Just is not the only colored man to do scientific work of a high order, nor the only colored teacher ready to labor for a pittance in order to aid the education of his people. But the honor bestowed upon him is worth while merely if it recalls to public attention once more the fact that no one can Measure the contributions colored Americans are certain to make to our common civilization, and not merely in the fields in which Ite their peculiar talents. It was a colored physician who first ventured an operation on the living human heart; a colored painter is in the front rank of his art as the delineator of Biblical scenes; no com- poser of reeent years won greater hon- ors than Coleridge Taylor, the negro. Any policy, therefore, which should limit the education and the opportu- nities of the race must be a grave loss to humanity as a whole. No one would think, in any country outside Russia, of refusing to Jewish genius the fullest play in every field. Yet we continue to hear, not only in the South, but in the North as well, re- peated assertions that anything ex cept common schooling is out of place for the colored people—New York Evening Post.

Pitkin County Man Introduces Resolu- tion to Make Up Highway Needs Until Special Levy Is Collected. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denyer.—Relief for the unemployed of Colorado, most of them coal miners displaced during the strike, is in sight if the Legislature passes a resolution introduced in the House by Represen- tative Dailey. This resolution — pro- vides that the state shall barrow $350,- 000 in anticipation of the half-mill levy for good roads, which does not become ayailable until next year. It has the support of Governor Carlson, and has been indorsed by Hugh J- Alexander, treasurer of the committee on unemployment appointed by the governor, This committee includes besides Mr. Alexander, F. J. Radford, president of the Trinidad Chamber of Commerce, and A. A. Reed of Boulder. It was named to prepare a plan for furnish- ‘ing as much work as possible for the miners who were thrown out of em- ployment by the strike and such other men as are unable to make a living, until such time as conditions improve in the industries. Mr. Radford, working with the county commissioners of Las Animas county, has provided employment for several hundred men in the vicinity of Trinidad, These men aré engaged at 20 cents an hour to work upon the highways, and they have been work- ing three eighthour days a week, In that way they earn enough to keep their families from absolute wants. They are paid in orders upon mer- chants for supplies, aud these orders are redeemed by the county commis- sioners. {f the state can legally anticipate the returns from the half-mill levy by the issue of warrants or certificates of indebtedness, the fund will be dis- tributed largely in the districts where the need is greatest and especially in Las Animas, Huerfano, Boulder, Fre- mont and Gunnison counties. It is expected that a certain amount of as- sistance will be furnished by the counties, so that perhaps a half mil- lion dollars immediately will become available. Stock Raisers Indorse Leasing Plan.

Denver.—Walter Vallely, C. W. Gar. rett, G. E. Morgan, John A, Frazier, and C. R. Galpin, sentenced to terms of five months each for padding the payrolls of the Colorado Fuel and Iron steel plant at Pueblo, were paroled by Governor Carlson at the request of the judge, the prosecuting attorney, the sheriff and officers of the com- pany. The men’s sentences expire in three weeks, but their families are destitute, and the governor granted executive clemency for the first time since he took office. Commission Fixes Demurrage Rate.

F-4 T0 BE RAISED AT $20,000 COST DIVING TUBE IS TESTED ve wapaper. Union News Service. Honolulu, T. H., April 1—As a re- sult of the Navy Department’s author- tation of $20,000 for the work of faisine the submarine F-4, believed to be waterlogged on the ocean bed just outside the harbor entrance, officials here under the leadership of Lieuten- ant ©. E. Smith, submarine flotilla commander, have made plans for saly- age operations on a big scale, All efforts to raise by cables an ob- Ject said by officials to be the lost F-4 having failed, the pontoon method will now be used. Six hundred-ton Scows will be towed to the spot be- ‘neath which, in forty-five fathoms of water, the submarine is believed to be lying. After the scows have been weighted with water, chains hooked to the F-4 will be attached to them. Then the water will be pumped out of the scows and, their hulls rising, they will lift the hulk below. The laborious process will be continued un- til the submarine is brought to the surface. It may take two weeks. An improvised diving tube, with which it is hoped to facilitate the salv- age operations, is being put through @ number of tests before the risk is taken of placing a diver in it and low: ering him into deep water. Further grappling for the submarine has been discontinued until the new equipment is ready, Hope was aban doned severai days ago of saving any of the twenty-one men imprisoned ix the F-4. Expert divers from the New: York navy yard were ordered to Honolult to aid in raising the sunken submarine F-4. They will leave at once for San Ffancisco to board a steamer for Ha wali. , Ten German.

London, April 1.—Ten German sub- marines, including the U-28, have been operating off the west coast of Eng: land during the past few days, and haye added two more British steam- ers, the Flaminian and Crown of Cas- tile, to their list of victims, totaling five since Saturday. There was no lows of life on the Flaminian and Crown of Castile, the crews of each being given bare time in whicl to get into their boats, In the case of the latter vessel, however, the submarine fired before the crew left the steamer and shells passed along the bridge on which the captain and an apprentice were standing. Austrian losses in Lyutta valley and the province of Bereg (northeast Hun- gary) on the day of March 28 are es- timated at 18,000, according to dis- patches received by Swiss news- papers.

Report 200 Slain and 300 Wounded in Rebellion at Tochi. Simla, India.—A ‘revolt of 10,000 tribesmen at Tochi has resulted in a battle with government troops, The tribesmen were repulsed. The follow- ing official statement was issued:, “Ten thousand tribesmen, com- posed mainly of Zad Raus, collected with a view to attacking Tochi, near the Miranshah post. Government troops under Brigadier General Fane engaged the natives at dawn on the 26th, repulsing them completely, kill- ing 200 and wounding 300. “A subsequent reconnaissance showed no trace of the band.” This trouble in India is on the north- western frontier of the empire.

What's the next thing to do? EASTER IN DENVER CHURCHES. Down through the centuries Easter has come to greet us with triumphant joy, as did the risen Christ when He appeared to His disciples. Easter services at the various churches tomorrow promise to be very interesting. We believe our churches are in better condition both financially and morally than they have been for years. The resurrection of the world's Savior will be commemorated in the Denver churches tomorrow with great joy and splendor. The interior of the city houses of worship will present a beautiful sight and will be in keeping with the spirit of the day. Pure, fragrant flowers will offer their beauty and incense to cheer men and women along life's rugged path, while from the throats of birds will burst sweet melodies blending with glad anthems of the choir and thrilling the listener, and the message each pastor will bring to his congregation will be the theme of the risen Christ and the blessed hope of eternal life. PUBLIC MARKET PLACE, 23RD AND WELTON STREETS Following in the wake of Governor Carlson in his endeavors to engage in strict economical purposes for the betterment of the state, also observing the actions of the municipal authorities in obtaining all the money they can to run the city and county of Denver successfully without necessarily burdening the taxpayers, we feel duty bound to present to our people our reason for advocating a market place at 23rd and Welton streets, lots owned by the city and under its control. A growing need and public demand for a market in a central location, within easy reach of residents, has been engaging the minds of taxpayers for a long time, and after giving the matter full consideration, arriving at the conclusion that the lots at 23rd and Welton streets are most suitable, they have resolved to submit the matter to the qualified electors of Denver at the election May 18, 1915. In our opinion we note with pleasure the benefits to be derived from utilizing these lots as a market: First—Welton street would be made a continuous business section from 14th street to Downing avenue, constituting one of the main lines of trade in our city. Second—The value of property would improve, which would be helpful to us, as within a certain radius of this point our people are property owners, for, as is generally known, depreciation of property is an established fact where such property is in proximity to a playground. Third—It would be the means of bringing the consumer and the producer in direct contact, and the housewives taking advantage of this privilege would gladly welcome the reduction in the cost of living which would naturally result. Fourth—It is a move in the right direction for the up-building of Denver and another proof of our progressiveness in the West. These and many other arguments can be advanced to prove the safe and sane action in improving these lots by converting them into a market place, as the following facts confront us: The lots cost the city $87,000.00 purchase price. No revenue is derived from them in the form of taxes or otherwise, being city property. At present they are used by a few persons for baseball games, while the regular playground and park situated at 31st and Curtis streets affords sufficient accommodation for all kinds of games. The present market on the West Side produces $17,000.00 a year, with an expense of $2,700.00, and from an estimate of the patronage if a market be established at 23rd and Welton streets, at least $25,000.00 a year profit would be realized. At this time it may be well to remind the public, and especially our people, that BUSINESS IS BUSINESS, and we must sacrifice a little pleasure for benefits of larger proportions from an economic standpoint. As far as playgrounds and our participation in them are concerned, we fully appreciate them, but our purpose and endeavor resolve themselves to encourage public investments in things that will contribute to the treasury of our city and state, thereby relieving us of this overwhelming taxation that at times seems actually to stop the life blood coursing through our veins. Being satisfied that this market at the above location will fill a public necessity and an investment that our city will be proud of, the Colorado Sthtesman urges the public to be particularly interested in this matter, which is not an experiment but a profitable plan from the facts placed before you, and request that you give it your hearty support. Training of Child Is Most Important By MARY E. WYNNE, Boston, Mass. That the training of the mind and the body of the child is one of society's most important works and that to do this well the home must co-operate with the school, would seem most apparent facts. But a very large proportion of the fathers are so engrossed in getting enough dollars to keep body and soul together that they leave the care of the children wholly in the hands of the mothers. The crowded tenements afford little opportunity for real home life. Home means merely a place in which to eat and to sleep. There are hundreds of women like the workingman's wife who said: "I just dreaded Saturdays because the children drove me nearly crazy, but now that a movie picture house has come into our neighborhood I pack the whole five kids off every Saturday and the house is as quiet as on a school day." In other words, she paid 50 cents a week out of her husband's meager wage to get rid of the sight and sound of her children. Her idea of responsibility to them is to cook for them, to buy their clothes, and when sick to take them to the infirmary. She represents a large number of parents who think that the chief business of the school is to take the children off their hands for the larger part of the day and to provide a safe place for them to be off the street, but these parents never trouble themselves to know what their children may be learning, nor what habits and ideas they may be forming at school. With multitudes the struggle for mere existence is so strenuous that they have neither the intelligence nor the time for any thought beyond that struggle. Hence poverty is one cause of parents' indifference to the school. But a far more reprehensible indifference is often found in parents who have had greater opportunities and whose income gives them a chance to think beyond the everlasting demands of the butcher, the baker and—worst of all—the landlord. The other day one of these well-to-do mothers said, "If I had time I should visit Jack's class while Miss —— is teaching, for Jack, who has always liked school, this year hates it. But I'm so busy I can't find time." Then she settled down to embroider her initials on bath towels! So busy she could not get time to find out what influences were being exerted on her boy that were showing themselves in an entirely changed attitude towards his school life. Near the end of the year she received notice by mail from the teacher that Jack's work, which had steadily grown worse throughout the year, would prevent his promotion. Jack would have to take two years to do one year's work. The irate mother now found time immediately to visit the teacher, and expressed vehemently her surprise and indignation that her boy, who had always been considered "smart" by his other teachers, should have done so poorly with her. When the teacher could get a word in edgewise the mother learned that this year Jack had chosen for his intimate associates a group of idle, cigarette-smoking boys whose influence had been most baneful. "Surely you know your boy's playmates and have seen his bimonthly reports, for here they are, bearing your signature." Then the poor mother knew that her boy had lied to her when he said his teacher did not send home reports, and had, moreover, forged her signature. Had she or the father taken pains to visit the school early in the year all this might have been averted. An intelligent interest in the child's welfare would lead the mother to visit in a friendly way each teacher under whose influence her child comes. Since so little of this is done, one must conclude that another large proportion of parents are stupidly indifferent to the importance of the school upon the lives of their children. Value of Games to School Children By W. K. SCHULTZE, Cleveland, Ohio Do teachers and parents sufficiently realize the great and good influence of contests on young people? Every form of game brings the youthful contestants into public view, where they learn to act with dignity, to think and speak on their feet. This publicity begets confidence. Contestants are not afraid to hear their own voices nor to see their own shadows. In after life everything worth while has to be contested for, and the trained contestants win life's prizes. The medal winners graduate into pathfinders, leaders of men and women. Baseball, football, harness racing, cards, chess, dancing, running, boxing, skating, acting, sailing, rowing, swimming, debating, reciting, music, art work, singing, shooting, fencing, tennis, billiards, lacrosse, all develop manhood and womanhood enormously, if sanely enjoyed. The bestowal of the laurel wreath upon one's brow or the pinning of the medal on one's chest is an experience which is ennobling and encouraging. Pity those who never experience this eestasy. Games develop valuable youthful faculties as nothing else does—memory, the nerves, caution, endurance, bravery, strength, sportsmanlike fairness, sportsmanlike courtesies and application. Sports inculcate a desire for nice apparel and a handsome bearing. The contestant is never a quitter. The chest which is adorned with trophies is not liable to belong to a thief, backbiter or weakling of any class. No one realizes what it is to win a hard-fought contest in either of the great fields until he finds himself face to face with the test, with a sea of faces looking on. Moving Pictures of Benefit to Humanity By Edward C. Mullikin, Jacksonville, Fla. The moving picture machine will prove of far greater benefit to humanity than a simple amusement and recreation. I believe that in a few years motion picture exhibitions will be a part of every school curriculum. A moving picture machine is not an expensive article, and in schools where expensive laboratories are impossible the most delicate experiments in chemistry and physics, as well as more intricate sciences, can be shown with as good results as though the professor were to stand before the class and give them an actual exhibition. The possibilities of the camera are almost limitless, and in recent years pictures of bacteria have been produced with ease. By the use of the motion pictures experiments with the rarest substances and germs shown only in the largest colleges can be brought to the humblest school and displayed, enabling the students to get a training equal to that of a course in a much better equipped college and at less expense. Lectures can accompany the films and be read during the progress of the picture, to add to its interest and instructiveness. I am told that the plan has already been tried with great success in some western schools, and I do not doubt that in a few years it will be quite the usual thing.

No better tribute, grander title, or more fitting application could be given Thomas J. Riley than that of "Grand Old Man," as his career for the period of over threesecc years and ten was filled with everything that savored of and was embodied in the word "grand." Mr. Riley, after a brief illness of one week, responded to the death summons on Tuesday afternoon last at the home of his daughter, 2114 Arapahoe St. Concious to the last, having possessed wonderful vitality, he gave instructions as to his funeral and burial, and died with the Christian's hope of the Resurrection, a belief which he entertained for nearly all his life. Born in 1842 in Cherokee county, Georgia, Mr. Riley journeyed with his father in 1860, in company with a band of Georgians, to Memphis, Tenn., thence to Colorado. The privations and hardships suffered by them in contact with the Indian tribes were almost beyond endurance, yet as fortune favors the brave, he survived these experiences. Mr. Riley finally settled in Denver, and was a member of the police force, a position which he served with credit to his race and the city, having made quite a record. He came in for recognition as a character of usefulness both in civic and religious spheres, and stood conspicuously as one of the foundationers of the present Zion Baptist church, formed in 1865, and one of the fathers of Free Masonry and Odd Fellowship in the Rocky Mountain region. Being a self-made man, it was wonderful to listen to his reasonings on topics of the day and his ability and keenness of perception exceeded the men of his day and time. He leaves a son, Andrew Riley; two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Owens and Mrs. Naomj Morrison, to mourn their irreparable loss, and the Colorado Statesman in offering sympathy to the bereaved ones can only indorse the sentiment of the public that a GRAND OLD MAN IS GONE—another link in the chain of old and new Colorado is broken.

MISS THE VISION OF THE VALLEY umphant. A CAMPING party from the East stepped from a belated train late one August afternoon at the station of a bleak little frontier town at the edge of the Black Hills, and looked anxiously at the shadows already lying long across the one street. "Well, here's one day lost," grumbled a member of the party. "It will be night before everything is loaded and ready, and we can't start off in the dark." "Why not?" asked the guide. "Couldn't find the way." "Couldn't find the way." "I know the way," returned the guide simply. "We'll start at eight." Night was swallowing the last dregs of daylight when eight o'clock came, and apprehension was lined into every face as the party climbed into the wagon and plunged into the dark mouth of the canyon, which opened abruptly into the town. The road hugged the canyon wall on one side; on the other rushed a noisy little mountain brook, its chatter softening gradually into a quiet murmur as the canyon road wound up the hillside, leaving it far behind in the depths below. Dense darkness separated the travelers each from each. Stones dislodged by the scrambling hoofs of the horses slid down into the canyon, measuring the narrow margin between safety and destruction. Hand gripped hand, and breath came short. "It's like the valley of the shadow of death!" a voice shuddered out into the darkness. The guide, directing his team in front, sensed an unspoken fear. "Just look up," he called hearteningly over his shoulder. A wedge of brilliant star-strewn sky seemed swung into the abyss, forcing the canyon walls apart and stretching a luminous canopy from crag to crag. The radiance transformed the valley, in the uplook, into a vision of glory. Up and up wound the road, nearer and nearer to that ever-widening arch of star-shot brightness, till the travelers at last stood safe upon the shining hillcrest, the dark hours of trembling bewilderment over and joy beyond. They looked back silently, as far as the starlight revealed it, over the road up which they had come. "I wouldn't have missed it for the world," one of the party finally broke the spell. "It would have been a tragedy to lose an experience like that." And in that brief sentence she unconsciously summed up the one real tragedy of life—to miss the vision of the valley. The valley itself is not a tragedy to thinking people. For while men can still "just look up," and looking, realize that ahead lie fairer lands, to which they are surely bound, they CONSIDER THE LILIES T on certain stocks came from a man with inside knowledge, and to take the money from the bank would just be borrowing it. The stocks were scheduled to make a wild plunge upward within the next few days and then he could sell, replace the money he had taken from the safe before it was missed and have enough ahead to justify several of his intended moves toward social advancement. Why, it was all just the simplest thing in the world to accomplish! All the time he argued with himself he was not quite easy in his conscience, but his thought of the confidential position of the friend who had given him the tip made the outcome seem a certainty—an end that would surely justify the means. He pulled the blind, unlocked the safe, concealed the money he needed on his person, carefully covering his tracks. Then he locked the safe and quietly let himself into the balmy April air. It was past midnight when he stole silently out of his home for a little walk, being unable to sleep. The moonlight held the world in its thrall, bathing the spring flowers in its silvery light, but the cashier was oblivious to its beauty as he wandered aimlessly down first one street and then another, until his attention was arrested by the sound of a glad hosanna from a nearby church—the final choir rehearsal for Easter music. Scarcely realizing what he did the troubled man slipped into the vestibule of the big church, drawn by the lights, the music and the hunger for human companionship which gnawed his troubled heart. As he stood undecided what he should do the joyous anthem ended, the choir filed into the vestry room and the old sexton turned out all save the chancel lights. The cashier slipped quietly into the church and sank wearily into a seat, his eyes fixed on the lily-laden altar. Easter lillies were everywhere. Great banks of them covered the altar, and H from every nook and corner they gleamed white in the dim chancel lights. They were like a prayer—a mother's prayer for her children—pure, and clean, and white. Their delicate fragrance was pleasant to his senses, but above all else it was their whiteness which riveted his thought. He could not get away from it. Suddenly he buried his face in his hands to shut the lilies away from his sight, while he went over the argument he had used to himself when he had taken the money from the safe. But, strangely, in the midst of his effort at justification, the whiteness and purity of the Easter lilies surged through his brain. of the pew in front of him, his eyes fixed on the lily-banked altar. Then he squared his shoulders even as he had seen his father do in that long gone year. And when the first soft flush of Easter day crept across the eastern sky the money was safe in the bank again. For the cashier kept faith with his mother. Easter. "She, supposing him to be the gardener—" Dead is our Christ and our hearts cry "Where?" We would peer in the tomb behind thee. Ah! Not there! But as of old in the open air. Out in the garden, Lord, we find thee.—Mary Eleanor Roberts, in Lippincott's. ```markdown ``` are safe. It is "where there is no vision the people perish." The road toward those fairer lands is the common, everyday road of hourly living. It lies inevitably through the valleys, often through environing night. To travel it means weariness bruised and trembling feet, groping hands, poignant pain, and a back look through a vista of disappointments and apparent failures. But there is a way out. Centurier ago, on the day that we call Easter a light broke into the darkened valleys, and the way shone forth for all who will "just look up." Now, since that Easter, we climb, not as slaves who endure because there is no escape but with joy triumphant. For the as surance is ours that we shall thus rise with him into the light. And so he bids us on this Easter day to accept our valleys, for they lead out into life; not alone beyond, but now. The sliding stones cannot plunge us over the brink, nor the threatening rocks crash down and crush out our lives. We have his word that because he lives we shall live also. Our feet are set securely upon the road, and we shall climb in safety up the vision-brightened way to the goal. It is into our night-dark valleys that the vision comes, for sunshine blots it out. The valley is by day a smiling thing, tempting to loitering among its trees and flowers, and to dreaming beside its singing brooks. So completely does it satisfy the senses that it may even become a lotus vale of forgetfulness, to lure the traveler from his sturdy purpose and beguile him into indifference to the way that leads to the plains of God. But presently night overtakes him. Then he rouses. With the shadows chill and heavy on his heart, he at last looks up and, beholding the star, begins his climb up toward the morning. Gethsemane and Golgotha lie along the way, but Easter breaks beyond. The vision has glorified the vale. And still Easter does not mean to us all that it should. It is a day of somewhat selfish rejoicing. We quicken to the new life of the spring, we make our heartsides gay with fresh blossoms; our hearts echo the glad message of the bells. It is our joy, our peace, our brightness, our Easter. But it was very different on that first Easter. If you will think back a moment you will recall the word of the angel to the women at the sepulcher—"He is risen—go tell his disciples." Now, as then, there are many to whom Easter has not come. They are dead to life, back there in the valley—little children defrauded of their birthright of joy; women exploited for gain; youth drawn into evil by the lure of false brightness. "That ye might have life" is the purpose of the Christ in his resurrection; and yet in that death valley they know nothing of life and light, they who are also a part of that all-inclusive "ye." Before we can make our Easter truly his Easter we must first hearken to his message: "Go down into the valley and carry the vision to those who perish there. Make your joy their joy; your life their life; your safety their safety. Lead them up with you, into the light." The First Easter Dawn HE cashier was alone. He drew a pencil and scratch pad from his pocket and figured rapidly. Yes, he could do it easily. Just a turn of the combination and the safe was open. His tip Yes, He Could Do It Easily. Then out of the stillness a sound was made. It was the sound of a voice—the voice of his mother. "Consider the lilies," it pleaded softly. The cashier sprang to his feet and looked about him wildly. There was no one in the big lily-laden church except himself—himself—and the voice. "Consider the illies," came the advice to him once more. The voice was unmistakable. Although his mother had been dead lo, these twenty years, he could never forget the gentleness of her voice. But that was not all. The admonition had a familiar ring which was not of the voice alone, nor yet of some long-forgotten reading. The words were borne in upon his senses now as in that long-ago yester-year, when, as a little lad, he had sat in the living room of his home listening to his father's heartbroken confession to his mother that he had failed in business. It was Easter then as now. On the broad casement of the low French A Stood Clutching the Seat. window stood a row of exquisite white lilies. His mother had turned from his stricken father to regard them, and over her face had come that tender, confident smile the little lad had so loved. "Consider the lilies," she had told the man, "they toil not, neither do they spin, yet Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." And his father had taken her into his arms with a great sob, while the little lad had looked on, understanding only that his mother had somehow helped his father over a great crisis. And now in the crisis of his own life, when temptation had mastered him, he sat alone in a lily-laden church and lo! the voice of his mother bade him "consider the lilies." Whence had it come? From the heart of an Easter illy? Or had it come into the house of God with him with a ray of moonlight? Or, was the voice in his brain alone—born of memories? He could not tell, and it did not matter. When he had laid her away twenty years ago he had not laid away the influence that had been hers all through his young life, her faith in him, her smile, nor the memory of a certain day when he had been graduated from college and had promised her that he would seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness through all the days that he should live. And he had kept his promise—until tonight, when the greed of gold became the dominating motive of his life; tonight, when the thirst for luxury had conquered him. The cashier stood clutching the seat of the pew in front of him, his eyes fixed on the lily-banked altar. Then he squared his shoulders even as he had seen his father do in that long-gone year.

WHEN PREPARING EGGS MUCH CARE SHOULD BE GIVEN TO THEIR COOKING. Digestibility Is Affected by Temperature of Water in Which They Are Boiled—Proper Method of Making Omelet. While it would seem that anyone can cook so simple a food as an egg satisfactorily, no other food is so affected by different cooking methods and particularly by degrees of temperature. The albumen, or egg white is greatly changed by heat, and the way the heat is applied. If it is gently warmed, coagulation, or hardening, does not at once take place, although the substance may be perfectly cooked. But if plunged at once into boiling water or liquid the albumen becomes tough and far less desirable as a food element. It is, therefore, much better to cook eggs by some other method than direct boiling: steaming, poaching or "codling" keeps the albumen soft while cooking. For dishes requiring "hard-boiled" eggs, it is best to let them simmer for about twenty minutes, so that the white will be solid, yet tender, and the yolk dry and mealy. Frying, or coating the egg directly with fat, also hardens the albumen and makes it less digestible. It is far better to put the eggs in a buttered dish and "shirr" or bake them in the oven. The secret of successful dishes like the omelet, which is made so well abroad, lies all in the temperature of the pan, the fat and the quickness and skill with which it is handled before allowed to become tough or stringy. Eggs contain no starchy qualities. This teaches us to build up our eggs menus with starches such as potatoes, rice, macaroni. Eggs also need to be served with fat, which does not mean frying in fat, but a sauce or dressing containing butter or other oil. An error common to housewives is to relegate the use of eggs chiefly to cakes and puddings, adding these to an already heavy meat meal. Since eggs are the equivalent of meat, if we use them generously in a pudding we do not then need meat in our first course. Similarly, it is unwise dietetics to serve a heavy, rich cake as the last course of a dinner beginning with a fatty meat like lamb, which already has given us muscle and fat. Pineapple Pancakes. Scald a single pint of milk; when lukewarm, add one teaspoonful of salt and one-half cake of compressed yeast, dissolved in one-quarter cupful of lukewarm water. Sift in enough flour to make a thin batter and let rise over night. In the morning add one cupful of thick milk, one tablespoonful of melted butter, two eggs beaten separately and one teaspoonful of soda sifted with one cupful of flour. Add enough more flour to make a smooth, thin batter, let stand one-half hour, then add one heaping tablespoonful of grated pineapple for each cupful of butter. Bake in a soapstone griddle and serve with sweetened pineapple juice. Plain Paper Best. A plain paper or one with quiet self-tone pattern is the only kind that makes a successful background for pictures. The soft neutral tone of cartridge paper is a splendid setting for ornaments and pictures, while soft brown is a safe choice of paper for the average room, as against it almost any picture, be it oil painting, water color, portrait, etching or photograph, appears to advantage. Gray is also a good restful color. A happy and popular combination is the gray wall covering with white woodwork. It is an admirable idea for the city apartment, where there is none too much light. Angel Cakelets. Sift together several times one-half cupful of fine granulated sugar, one-half cupful of pastry flour, one-half level teaspoonful cream tartar, beat whites of four eggs till stiff and dry then gradually mix in the sugar and flour. Flavor with one-half teaspoonful of almond, rose or vanilla, drop with a teaspoon on pans covered with buttered paper an inch or two apart; sprinkle with sugar, white or pink and bake in a moderate oven ten or fifteen minutes; will make two dozen Ginger Cream. Beat the yolks of three eggs, add one pint of milk, two tablespoonfuls sirup from preserved ginger and one cupful sugar. Cook all together until thick Strain, add one tablespoonful gelatin that has been dissolved in a little cold milk, the whites of three eggs beaten stiff and beat all together until it begins to thicken, then add four ounces preserved ginger cut in very small pieces. Put in a mold to cool and serve with whipped cream. Hungarian Salad. One pint cold boiled potatoes sliced very thin, one small onion, grated, two cold boiled beets, sliced, five sardines, boned and mashed, one tablespoonful minced cold cooked ham, one small green pepper thinly shredded. Sprinkle with salt, add one-half cupful French dressing. Chill. To Cream Hard Butter If butter is hard to cream don't warm it. This changes the texture of it. Instead, run it through the vegetable ricer. This breaks it into small pieces and it can then be readily creamed. STATE OF COLORADO. Insurance De- partment.

(Seal) Commissioner of Insurance. Published in The Colorado Statesman by authority of the Company. "Nora, when did you clean this stove?" Nora shut the ice box with a bang before she answered sullenly: "Wipe it off after every meal." "Well, just look at this!" With the tip of her finger Helen touched a blackened, grease-crusted burner. "And this drip pan," drawing it out, "is filthy!" "Guess I know how it was when I came. Guess I keep my stove and my kitchen cleaner than the girl you had 'fore me." "That will do, Nora. Now, this pan must be scoured! You'll have to use ammonia to cut that grease, and take a stiff brush to those burners. I want this cleaned this morning—before you begin the silver." Helen left the kitchen with an angry flush. Nora was getting more sullen and insolent every day. She had made a mistake in taking her back. She should have known that once having clashed, things could never be the same. Now, she was slighting her work. There was no excuse for that stove. "Thompson's here to fix that hot water spigot," announced Nora, appearing at the door a moment later. "You said you wanted to see him." Helen turned sharply. "What did you say, Nora? What did you call Mr. Thompson?" "I said Thompson's here to fix that hot water spigot," defiantly. "Nora, I want this to be the last time you ever call Mr. Thompson—Thompson. I've spoken to you about that before. He's the superintendent here, and for you to presume to call him Thompson—" "Well, that's his name, ain't it?" her face reddening with sulky temper. "And he calls me Nora, doesn't he? I've got no use for that man. He made my uncle come up on that servants' elevator—and my uncle's just as much a gentleman as anybody that comes to this house." "But, Nora, that's the rule here—anybody calling on the maids must use that elevator. They can't make an exception of your uncle." And Helen hurried out to Mr. Thompson, irritably conscious that Nora was getting more and more on her nerves. It was after luncheon before Helen went into the kitchen again. In a glance she saw the stove had been only half cleaned, but she ignored it, not feeling equal to another combat just then. Yet she knew Nora had seen her look at it, and was furious at her own lack of courage. "Where did these come from, Nora?" taking up a monkey wrench and a large screw driver from the kitchen table. "He left 'em when he was fixin' the sink." "Who do you mean by 'he?'" demanded Helen, pointedly. Nora hesitated. She dared not say "Thompson," and her stubborn pride would not let her say "Mr. Thompson." Then came an inspiration. "The superintendent, ma'am." "The superintendent, ma am." "And what did I tell you to call the superintendent, Nora?" "Mister Thompson," with sneering emphasis. Then, under her breath, "But I'll call him what I please when you ain't around." Pretending not to hear this last mumbled comment, Helen left the kitchen. She went straight to her desk and took up the calendar. Nora's month would be up the fifteenth—just nine more days. She would tell her tomorrow that she must look for another place. She would not keep her after the fifteenth! That evening at dinner Nora waited on the table with lowered, reddened eyes and an air of gloomy sullenness. "What's the matter with her?" demanded Warren, as she left the room. "She's getting difficult again," admitted Helen, with a sigh. "She had one of her sullen stories today." "What'd I tell you when you took her back?" "Well, when her month's up I'm going to let her go. I shall tell her tomorrow that she'll have to look for another place." "Huh! I'd have fired her long ago." "You've put up with—" "Hush, dear!" Through the partly opened pantry door Helen caught the gleam of Nora's white apron. "Oh, I believe she heard!" "Serves her right for listening." "Serves her right for listening." When Nora brought in the salad her eyes were lowered, but Helen saw her hand tremble as she put down the dish. How much had she heard? For the rest of the evening Helen felt vaguely uncomfortable. She thought of Nora out there brooding alone, thinking, no doubt, they were still "talking her over." She could never bear to feel that they were two against one—and Nora was so alone! Finally, yielding to her uneasiness, she went out to the kitchen. The door of Nora's room was open, but she was not there. "Nora!" she called, uncertainly. On a warm night she sometimes went up to the roof, but never without permission, and never so late as his. Only yesterday Helen had read about a servant hurling herself from the window because she was homesick and lonely. The next moment she was out in the hall. Not waiting for the elevator she darted up the stairs. As she stepped out on the roof a rain drop splashed in her face. It was a heat shower. The drops came faster, rattling heavily on the tin roofing. The rumble of a cab came up faintly from the street below. Nora was not there. The roof was deserted. Helen turned to go down, then paused. What was that over by the chimney? Something moved. It was Nora, huddled against the chimney, her head on her arms. "Why, Nora, what are you doing up here in the rain?" No answer except a choking sob. "You'll be sick," Helen shook her lightly; her thin waist was damp. "I don't care," sobbingly. "Well, I do. I can't afford to have you sick on my hands." The heartlessness of this remark struck Helen, but it had its effect. It checked Nora's emotionalism. Without a word she rose and started down. Determinedly Helen followed her to her room. "Nora, you're not happy here. You say your mother wants you to come back to Ireland—now, why don't you go?" Helen was not prepared for the storm of tears that followed. "Hush, Nora, hush!" sternly. "They'll hear you outside. If you won't go back home, then why don't you get another place where you'll have only chamber work? You'd like that better, I'm sure." Gradually Nora sobbed out that she didn't want another place, that she had heard what they said about the fifteenth but that she wanted to stay Helen, helpless before this hysterical outburst, finally promised to give her another month's trial, another chance to conquer her sullenness. Reassured by this, Nora quieted down, but Helen left her with vague misgivings. Already she half regretted her promise. "Where in the deuce have you been?" demanded Warren. "With Nora. I told you she overheard us at dinner." Then, resignedly. "I've promised to give her another month's trial." "For the love of Mike! That makes how many times you've discharged and taken her back?" "Only once before, dear. And this time, if she doesn't improve—she'll have to go. I told her that distinctly." "Well, by Jingo," stooping for his paper with a disdainful shrug, "that girl's got your number. She can work you to the limit." Absently, Helen tidied her work-basket, wound up the spools, and thrust pins and needles into the strawberry cushion. Warren was right, Nora did impose on her. No one else would put up with her sullen obstinacy. Why had she promised to keep her? For the moment her resentment against Nora hardened into a positive dislike. Mechanically she opened a tightly-folded envelope and poured into her hand some bullet-like pearl buttons. Where had they come from? They had been on that old silk waist she had given Nora for a dust cloth, and Nora had carefully cut them off and put them here. They were a mute testimony of Nora's loyalty and economy. She was always doing just such things. No other girl ever worked so whole-heartedly for their interest. And it was only lately that she had begun to slight her work. She had said she was not well; perhaps she was tired, overworked. She had been with them over a year without a day's rest or change. Slowly, thoughtfully. Helen put back the buttons, refolded the envelope, then turned to Warren with an abrupt: "Dear, how long has Miss Middleton been with you?" "Bout a year. Why?" "You're going to give her a vacation this summer?" "Sure. Two weeks this month. Why?" "Nothing. I was just wondering." The stenographer would get her vacation, that was taken for granted. Why not the servant? Her hours were longer and her work more monotonous. No wonder Nora was growing sullen and irritable. She was never away from that kitchen or her little room adjoining it. "Warren, about how much does it cost to go to some nearby seashore for a week? I mean for someone who has to cheaply. Not to a big hotel, but just to a cheap boarding house?" "What're you driving at, anyway? Miss Middleton can engineer her own vacation." "I wasn't thinking of Miss Middleton," musingly. Then, with sudden briskness, "Dear, do you know it's after twelve—and we were up so late last night. Shall I turn on your bath?" During the rush hours in Buffalo the street car company operates two-car trains. WASHINGTON GOSSIP How Income Tax Law Hits Members of Congress How Income Tax Law Hits Members of Congress WASHINGTON.—There isn't the slightest doubt that if the last congress had it all to do over again it would nail fast a provision to the income tax law allowing senators and representatives to deduct their election ex- internal revenue bureau will not give help; it has ruled that campaign expenses are personal, and are, therefore, returnable as a part of net income and subject to the tax. This decision, it is said at the treasury, might be altered if congressmen appealed to the secretary of the treasury and could show a basis for an interpretation of the law more favorable to their desires and pocketbooks. Congressmen, it is explained, have hesitated to take this course for two reasons; first, because such an argument has been difficult to invent, and second, because it might prove embarrassing to any congressman adopting such a course. The treasury department officials hint that a decision favorable to congressmen might also put the secretary of the treasury in a bad light. It remains now for some congressman bolder than his fellows to introduce an amendment to the income tax law allowing campaign expenses to be deducted from net congressional incomes. In the house, it is learned, those responsible for the income tax law have steadily opposed any such change. "In reply to your verbal inquiry," says the nearly stereotyped reply of the income tax division to the many applicants for information, "you are advised that the expenses incurred by a member of congress in conducting a campaign for re-election are regarded by this office as purely personal in character, and, therefore, not deductable in a return of your income under the provisions of the income tax law." The treasury will not divulge the names of the thrifty legislators who have telephoned and written letters on this subject, but it is a matter of wide comment and gossip at the capitol; so the treasury ruling has been spread about from one congressman to another. English Sparrows Are Still Considered Aliens N the recent bird census conducted under the supervision and inspiration of the department of agriculture with the aid of bird lovers and enthusiasts throughout the United States no consideration was paid to that bird, which in popular parlance is English sparrow was because of the difficulty of making a census of him and her or them. The estimate reached by the department of agriculture was that our native field bird population is something over two billions, exclusive of sparrows, or about one thousand to the square mile of land not planted to crops. The most numerous of these birds were the robins, estimated as averaging fifty pairs to the square mile east of the Mississippi river. The highest average of field birds, seven pairs to the acre, was reported in the suburban area of the District of Columbia, and the lowest estimate was one pair for every three acres in Montana, the forest birds being much less numerous than the birds which dwell in open lands. The history of the English sparrow in Washington goes back to 1872, in which year, under the supervision of Col. O. E. Babcock, in charge of public buildings and grounds, about one hundred pairs of these birds were purchased and set free in the parks of Washington.

It might seem that enough generations of this bird have come into being and have passed away in the United States to have it looked upon as naturalized, but still people interested in birds continue to look upon this species of the sparrow as aliens.

Do You Know That— The COLORADO STATESMAN penses from their income in making up their income tax returns. Members of congress have awakened to the fact that they must allow the rgeants-at-arms of both houses to deduct the income tax in advance from congressional salaries without taking campaign expenses into consideration. Thus there are several congressmen who have paid out large amounts to be-elected who must still pay income taxes on the money they spent.

Covert cloths, shepherd's-checked and striped suitings seem to be dividing honors in tailored suits for spring. It is hard to say which is most favored. All of them are developed in many smartly cut and perfectly tailored plain suits that are far and away the most elegant of all street dresses. Some of the new models are what may be called severely plain, allowing themselves only machine stitching and buttons by way of garniture and finishing touches. Buttons this season are made of the fabric of the garment in many elegant suits, but in unusual shapes. In an equal number of designs they are selected from the various composition, bone or pearl designs. But severe lines and finishing do not characterize all the new spring tailor-mades. The coat-suit shown in the picture belongs to the plain well-tailored class that should be found in every woman's wardrobe. It is just right for the business woman, the traveler, or for street wear where one finds need for only one new tailored costume. Revealing Charm A coifure which is beautiful from any point of view is not met with every day. Here is one which is exquisite from whatever side you look upon it. It convinces one that there is nothing quite so pretty as curls, and should prove that the classic lines, which it follows closely, have never been improved upon. The hair for this coifure is waved and parted at the left side. The short hair about the forehead and temples is curled into very short ringlets. The back hair is brought to the top of the crown and coiled in a loose soft coil. The waved front hair is brought back to the coil and pinned to it, leaving the ends free. These ends are separated into strands and curled in short curls. They are pinned close to the head about the coil. Finally --- The skirt is cut with wide overlapped side seams forming a sloping panel down the front. It is cut with a sufficient flare and is ankle-length. In many of these skirts the waist line is high, and suspender tops and pockets at the sides give them an air of utility that is very snappy and smart. The coat in this suit follows the lines of the figure rather more closely than is the rule in spring styles. It has a panel back and plain coat sleeves finished with a band and two buttons at the wrist. At each side of the front an applied strap, pointed at the end and decorated with a button and simulated buttonhole, suggests a belt. The suit is worn with a soft silk waist having a square turn-over collar at the back. This has a "V"shaped opening at the front showing a dainty collar and vestee of lace or net worn under it. Cloth-top shoes and a pretty hemp hat with trimming of ribbon and cherries complete a spring costume that merits no criticism. of Classic Coiffure a narrow band of silk or velvet ribbon is fastened about the head to support the waved hair and keep the ringlets about the face in place. But one's hair must be naturally curly in order to make successfully the short ringlets about the coil. Also there must be no end of time to give to hairdressing. When neither of these requisites is present, pinned in curls are to be used. They save time and stay in curl better than the natural hair. They may be bought in any length needed and are always ready. Even one who cherishes a prejudice against acquired hair will forgive its use when it is impossible to detect it and when a coiffure is as adorably pretty as that one described and pictured here.
