PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COMING INTO OUR OWN VOL. XX1. COMING OUT For a number of years the public has been guided by election results in the states of New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois, which seem to be the indication of the trend of public opinion for national elections, etc., and in the majority of cases they are the forerunner of the success anticipated. Reviewing the recent elections of these three states in particular, we can readily observe how the people, tiring of superficial roles, delusion and deception have resolved to get away from the order of experimentalists and return to a government of solidity, vitality and integrity, which will scatter sunshine through the darkened clouds that have been overhanging us for upwards of two years and restore peace and plenty to suffering humanity. If we take the Chicago election of Tuesday last as an exhibition of true, faithful and loyal Republican spirit, well may we join the wise and thoughtful ones in arguing that this is another indication of the American people's intention for 1916 Presidential election, when they will place a man at the helm supported by a bodyguard that will think of the interests of the people and the welfare of the nation as their only obligation and leaving insignificant things alone which neither benefit or foster any cause for the progress of a country. In the Chicago election Wm. Hale Thompson, Republican, was elected mayor by a plurality of 139,389 and on the same ticket was Oscar De Priest, a member of our race, who was elected alderman of the Second ward. By degrees we are being re-established to our position all over the country and Republicans must begin to garrison themselves for the most important combat to come off November, 1916. In Colorado we can clearly see that the time has come when politics has taken an improved form as our Democratic opponents would be glad to introduce, but from our experience of the friendly turn apparently and the galling hate privately, we are in full accord with the action of our legislators in making their reforms, and the fellows who play the game of "heads I win tails you lose" must learn their new lesson of PROFIT with their party when they are victorious and LOSS when they are defeated.

They couldn't pay expenses on the road with their salaries, to say nothing of paying rents and maintaining families they said. There was other interesting testimony, including a statement that Pullman car conductors do not consider it dishonest to "knock-down" on seat sales enough to pay their expenses on the road. These average $30 a month and come out of salaries ranging from $70 to $95 a month. The witness who made this statement was H. H. Seweall of Chicago a former conductor. FIRST PUBLIC HEALTH CONFERENCE Baltimore, Md., March 30. That segregation of city Negroes and their enforced residence in the squailid sections of the city tend to propagate disease and make the race have too high a death rate was asserted by a number of speakers at the First Public Health Conference, held a Bethel A. M. E. church, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week. At the opening more than 6,000 persons crowded in and around Bethel Church to hear Booker T. Washington deliver the principal address of the evening. The address of Dr. H. S McCard one of the prominent physicians of the city, created widespread interest, so vigorous did he rap segregation and its attendant evils. "Enforced segregation," he said, "will compel many to continue occupying alley homes. We are compelled to live over stables and over cellars filled with water. We are told that we die because we are ignorant, that we ought to learn better than to live in such places where we live, and then we have learned the lesson that is given us and seek to apply it we have no place to go. He scored the city for its lack of facilities for the treatment of colored patients with infectious diseases. The address of Dr. McCard caused the Baltimore Evening News to editorially score segregation and its attendant evils. "The races are not segregated, nor will they be, nor can they be," remarked the News. "If the city chooses DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

Ovation For Dr. Washington Dr. Washington was greeted with quite a demonstration. He referred to what the colored man has done for himself and in his address he encouraged him to do still bigger and greater things for his advancement. In part he said: "I am glad of this movement that it emphasizes the matter of health, the matter of cleanliness, the matter of better sanitary conditions, throughout Maryland. In this both races can co-operate. When food is being prepared, the Negro woman touches the white man's life; when children are being nursed, the Negro woman touches the white man's life; when cloths are being laundered, the Negro touches the white man's life. It is mighty important in the interest of our race, as well as in the interest of the white race, that the Negro woman be taught, cleanliness and the laws of health. Disease draws no color line. If by reason of filth and unsanitary conditions in Baltimore growing out of ignorance, consumption, smallpox or any contagious diseases reach the black community, it is likely to strike from this community to the mansion of the richest white person in Baltimore. In the future I am sure there is going to be more racial co operation more friendship, more peace, more harmony, more prosperity. Our race is improving in the matter of health. Some 10 or 15 years ago the death rate was about 30 per thousand; at the present time, through such movements as we are now participating in the death rate has been decreased to from 24 to 20 per thousand. We of the black and white race are going to present to the world a great object lesson, showing how two races different in history, different in color, may live side by side on the same soil in peace and in harmony, neither hindering the other, but each helping the other toward a higher and more useful civilization. W. E. B. DuBois, was the principal speaker at the closing session. He said that the death of the Negro was not abnormally high when compared to some European countries. He asserted that the country death rate was much lower, and that the of 25.5 as given in the census of 1910, was incorrect, about 20 in a thousand being the correct one. A health exhibit was held in the chapel of the church. BIG GIFT FOR CHURCH "I will give you $5,000 now and pay for the repairs to the roof of your church, the painting and renovating, new carpet and everything necessary to make this the finest and richest colored church in the world," said I. W. Allston, a prominent business man and philanthropist, of Massachusetts, last night, at Varick Institution Temple, Nineteenth and Catharine streets, where Rev. Alexander Wiltbanks, the evangelist, is preaching nightly to enormous crowds of white and colored people. "Furthermore," continued he, "for every dollar you raise here for one year I will give you another dollar, even if it amounts to $25,000." Mr. Allston had already given $150 in the morning collection and $85 at night. The total for the day's table contribution was $370. The interest of this gentleman in colored people has always been marked, and when Bishop Alexander Walters, a friend of his and incidently a prelate of the A. M. E.

Y., Mar. 27.—Miss Winfred Johnson, an inmate of Harriet Tubman Home for Aged Colored women here, died today at the age of 113 years. She was born in slavery in Winchester, Va., and at the time of Lincoln's emancipation proclamation moved to Elmira, N. Y. She was brought to the Tubman home a few years ago. The officers at the home believe the record of her longevity is accurate. At the request of Censor John F. Casey the moving picture based on Sheldon's "Nigger" recently exhibited in Boston was modified. Mr. Casey notified the exhibitors that the name was changed by the Nat'l board of censors to the "New Governor" and saw that all printing read correctly. He also had many of the objectionable features eliminated, viz., all those scenes tended to create the impression that there is an impassible gulf between the white and black races and the scenes suggested the rape of the white child by the drunken Colored man and the burning at the stake.

NO 33 here following an altercation between the white wife of Jack Johnson, the pugilist, and Monica Valdez a pretty manicurist, which is said to have occured today in a Cuban tonsorial shop de luxe. The police have forbidden publication of the incident. The altercation arose when the manicurist, refused to serve a white woman who had married a Negro. Heated words followed and the manicurist seized the other woman by the hair jerking it completely down and violently pummelled her in the face with her fists. Other girls working in the establishment called the police who parted the scrapping women. No arrests were made. After Johnson demanded an apology, which was immediately forthcoming from the Cuban proprietor, flatly refused by Monica Valdez. She flung a wet towel in the proprietor's face, told the champion what she thought of him, and left the place. BURLESON APPOINTS WRONG COLORED MAN POSTMASTER Oklahoma City, Ok., March 27. Postmaster-General Burleson owes an apology to L. D. Simmons, an Oklahoma City man, for an error he made in the selection of a colored man for postmaster at Boley, Ok., one of the important Colored towns of the state. When Burleson recommended that President Wilson appoint Ceasar Simmons for the Boley postoffice, he honestly thought that he was appointing L. D. Simmons. He thought he was doing a favor to a man who was one of his warmest and most ardent supporters for Congress in the Ninth District of Texas, in several campaigns, and one of the leading Colored educators of Texas for 20 years. But he appointed a Simmons whom he had never known and who had never done a favor for the postmaster general. L. D. Simmons sent his application to Washington. The story goes that Caesar Simmons had a friend in Dorset Carter, a lawyer of Purcell, and that recently when Carter was in Washington, he called on Burleson in behalf of this Simmons. "I have already made up my mind to appoint Simmons," said Burleson, speaking, of course, of the Texas Simmons who had been his political friend. That ended Carter's mission. The appointment was made that day, and in due time confirmed by the Senate. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE.

The other diseases and causes of death, including accident, homicide and suicide, are more evenly distributed among the whites. One of the chief causes of the de creased death rate among the Negroes in the South is believed to be an in. crease of 314 per cent in home owner. ship. That increase, along with im. proved sanitary and housing condi. tions, ie believed to have been in di rect ratio with the abatement of dan- gerous epidemics. + he idea of having their own church, with their own pastor, with a Negro presiding elder and a Negro bishop, appealed to the Negroes many years ago, ahd everywhere there were free Negroes the. church rapidly spread— into New England, into Ohio, Mlinois, Indiana, Missouri and the West. A church was started in New Or- leans in 1848. In fact, the church in that city was the first one started in the South. After the Civil war, how- ever, this organization grew by leaps and bounds. Soon it took not one bishop, or two, but six, then ten, then twelye and now fifteen to supervise the work. Churches were organized in every state in the Union and these at once became cen- ters of great uplifting influence for the newly emancipated people. The preach- ers became the recognized leaders, so regarded by both races, and much of the progress of the Negro is due to their intelligent and unselfish aid. But not only in America has the Af- rican Methodist Episcopal church been active, but in Africa; South America and the islands As early as 1820 Dan- iel Coker, one of the members of the first meeting in 1816, went to Liberia, West Africa, and started a church. In 1824 a minister named John Gordon went to Jamaica, Cuba, British Guinea, South America, Sierra Leone and Gold Coast West Africa, Cape Colony and other parts of South Africa. So great has the foreign work grown that it is now looked after by resident bishops. Rishop J. Albert Johnson is resident bishop of South Africa, and has his headquarters at Capetown. Bishop William H. Heard, a native of Georgia, is bishop of West Africa, and has his headquarters at Monrovia. Six hundred and ninety-one names have been added to the roster of the colored Y. M. C. A. as the result of a six-day membership campaign which came to a close last night, says the Washington Star. The organization has set out to obtain 500 members in six days, and at an enthusiastic meet- ing last night received the reports of the various teams, which showed that this number had been exceeded by nearly two hundred. The total num- ber of memberships provided for in reality will be in excess of seven hun- dred, as a number of Washington busi- ness men, headed by H. S. Omohun- dro, promised to contribute one mem- bership for every ten over five hun- dred brought in by the campaign work- ers. Jobn R. Hawkins, general chairman of the campaign committee, presided over the closing exercises, which were held in the gymnasium of the colored Y. M. ©. A., Twelfth and T streets northwest. The festivities opened with a banquet, after which the vari- ous membership teams made reports. Early reports indicated that the 500- membership goal would be reached. The families most closely tied by relationship in St. Louls are those of the Heuers and the Johnsons. Harry Hener, who is soon to be married to Bertha Johnson, will’ be the fourth Heuer brother to marry one of the Johnson family. In addition, Minnie Heuer, a sister of the four brothers, is married to Jolin F. Johnson, a brother to the four Johnson girls. The coal required for one journey between New York and Liverpool by ‘a modern liner would fill 22 trains each made up of 30 ten-ton cars. Resenting the criticism against col- ored people made by Professor Wil- lam Starr Myers. of Princeton univer- sity, in a lecture at the Academy of Music on February 27, several leaders of that race met at Washington and formed a committee to conduct a cam- Paign against defamors of their race there. The campaign will be carried on by ministers, lawyers, physicians and business men, as well as by all the associations of colored people in Brooklyn. The statement which aroused the indignation of fie ealoraa incon le ras that in which Professor Myers said: “A Young Men’s Christlan association leader of the South said he estimated that 98 per cent of Negro men in some localities of the South are immoral, and that the percentage of the immor- ality of the Negro women was as great.” He is also reported to have said that “the ballot and whisky are the two great curses of the race. The Negro race is not merely an inferior race; it is a backward race. Eyen the educated Negro is nothing but a grown-up child.” As a consequence of this, the’ col- ored people are determined to dis- prove what Professor Myers said. The Citizens’ club and the Carleton branch of the Y. M. C. A., as well as other organizations of colored peo- ple, will act together in this matter: ‘The first move will be to hold a mass meeting at tle Academy of Mu- sie, at which prominent colored people will speak. The people in charge will also try to obtain as speakers one or two white men of influence to uphold their side of the case. ‘The program committee in charge of the arrangements for the meeting is headed by Rey. Dr. A. P, Coles. R. M. Merony, superintendent of the Car!: ton branch, ¥. M. ©. A., is secretary. Before going actively into direct oppo- sition to Professor Myers, Secretary Merony was instructed to write’ to Professor Myers and have him confirm the statements he made, as reported in the newspapers the day after he lec- tured. Among those who were pres- ent at the meeting were Rev. W. M. Moss, G. F. Miller, W. H. Jones, W. A. Lee and George H. Wibecan, president of the Citizens’ club. Rey. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of the Central Congregational church and Park Commissioner Raymond V. In- gersoll have already signified their in. tention to address the mass meeting for the colored people, if possible. White men and colored men alike are being fed daily at the dinners which the Ebenezer Baptist church in Chicago, one of the largest churches with a congregation of colored people in the city, is providing for those whom ‘winter and war depression in busi- ness have thrown out of work. In fact, the whites outnumber the blacks by four to one at the hour of the free meal served five days a week by the women of the church, according to those in charge. The dinners, which are substantial and well cooked, cost the church about $20 a day to feed about 350 men. This is a service which the church tries to give for one month out of every year, says the pastor, Rey. John F. Thomas, Last year 3,752 white men and 1,002 colored men, in all, were fed. One of the white churches of the city which carries on a similar work bars colored men from its charity; but Rev. Mr. Thomas’ com- mittee of women welcome anyone whe is penniless and hungry, regardiess of color, creed or race. ‘The erection of a monument to the memory of Lucius Harkum, colored, who for 52 years was a nurse at Freed- men’s hospital, was proposed by Rev. Simon P. W. Drew at funeral services at the Cosmopolitan (colored) Baptist church, Washington. Interment was at Harmony cemetery. , In his sermon Doctor Drew said it was proposed to have a nation-wide campaign, and when funds have been obtained to erect a monument in front of the hospital. Tribute was paid to the nurse by Doctor Drew, who characterized him as one of the four great characters of the Civil war. Others who spoke were Dr. D, B Wiseman, Dr. T. A. Johnson, Rey. P. P, Samuel, Rey. J. N. Beaman, Rev. Charles H. Parker, Rev. A. Barton and Rey. John Davis.

FUNDS NOW AVAILABLE FOR WORK ON PUBLIC HIGHWAYS. Secretary of Committee Says Married Men Will Be Employed First in Expenditure of Rockefeller Fund. Western Newspaper Union News Service, Denver, Colo—The committee ‘ap- pointed by Governor Carlson to settle the unemployment problem in Colo- rado has already made his plans for the distribution of the funds given by the Rockefeller foundation for road work in the state, according to Albert A. Reed of Boulder, secretary of the committee. In a statement Reed said: “The committee on unemployment and re lief is arranging with the commission- ers of several counties, including Las Animas, Huerfano and Boulder, to of. fer work on the public highways of those counties. “Preference will be given to heads ‘of families and residents of the local ity where work is offered. _ “Funds are now available and the plans of the committee will be execut 2d as rapidly as conditions permit. _ “We are assured of the hearty and sympathetic cooperation of county of Ucials and with favorable weather ‘many men will soon be provided with employment.” The reasons which impelled the com- mittee to make representations to the Rockefeller foundation were explained to the Boulder county commissioners by Reed. He told of the investigation of the committee with regard to the destitution now existing in the state and into the possibilities of finding im- mediate relief. Neither the several counties nor the state had funds immediately available, he said, and immediate aid was neces: sary. Cover State With Six Inspectors. Denver. — Six state _ inspectors, working in as many different sections of the state, may be delegated the duties now vested in several score of inspectors attached to various de- partments, if a plan being considered by Governor Carlson is carried out. The inspectors also would have police powers and in addition to their other duties would be expected to see to the enforcement of the present laws of the state and the new prohibition law which becomes effective next January. Governor Carlson _ believes that such a plan, which would be modeled in some particulars after the Canadian mounted police system, would ot only be practicable, but a substantial financial saving to the state. It can be effected under the statute giving the governor authority to suspend offices and boards in the ‘state government. Restores 95,000 Acres in Colorado. Denver.—Secretary of the Interior Lane has made an order designating 95,000 acres of non-rrigable lands in Colorado under the enlarged home stead act. This order becomes effect: ive May 10, 1915.

On the Italian Frontier, April 8.— The warships of the Italian fleet de- parted suddenly on Monday from the Mediterranean naval stations at Spe- da, Gaeta and Maddalena Island. They Concentrated at Augusta, Sicily, and at Taranto, They are thus within a few hours, of the Adriatic, The departure of these warships caused a profound impression, partic- ularly at Spezia, where until last Sunday the harbor was crowded with Greadnaughts, cruisers and torpedo boat destroyers, while the town was filled with officers and sailors. Italy now has the finest fleet in her history. It is headed by several new dreadnoughts, of which the most. for- midable is the Conte de Cavour, which corresponds in the Italian navy to Great Britain’s Queen Elizabeth. ‘The future movements of the fleet are veiled with absolute secrecy. It ig asserted that only the King and one or two of the highest government Officials are acquainted with the plans decided upon. London —A furious assault on the German positions between the Meuse and the Moselle is being made by the French in continuation of their of- fensive movement. ‘The official com: munications from Berlin mentions at tack after attack, and says these on slaughts were repulsed with “extraor dinarily heavy” losses for the French. The official statement trom Paris gives few details of the fighting, al though it is claimed that ground was gained in some instances. ‘The Berlin statement says the Ger mans abandoned the village of Dre Gretchen, which they had capture from the Belgians, on account of the fire from heavy artillery, to whiclr i was subjected. Newport News, Va., April 8.—Com raat ‘Thlerichens ‘of the Germar auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel Friedrich ‘asked the United States government, through port authorities, to intern his ship and crew. Up to the last moment the German skipper kept up the appearance of being ready for a dash to sea, and, when the time for decision finally came, he explained that failure of “ex: pected relief” to arrive had made it necessary to intern rather than “de- liver crew and ship to fruitless and certain’ destruction by British and French warships waiting off the Vir- ginia capes.” House Passes Long Appropriation Bill Denver.—Just before __recessing Wednesday the lower house of the State Assembly passed on tnird read- ing the long appropriation bill for ex- penses of the state government for 1915-16, It carries a total of $1,555, 591.19, divided among the legislative, executive and judicial departments. ‘Two years ago the long appropriation Dill carried $1,677,049.72. MURDERED FOR COMPANY'S CASH Frederick C. Matson’s Body Found In Lonely Shack Near Army Post: Denver—Frederick C. Matson, 24 years of age, for six years a resident of Englewood, was shot to death early ‘Tuesday night in a lonely shack near the Fort Logan reservation, after he had given a desperate battle to the murderer in a yain effort to protect his own savings and the money en trusted to his care by his employers.

That the Governor was tried, tested and proven to be the right man in the right place, goes without saying, and the public is convinced that his moral courage to carry out his platform before election, his ability to grasp the various complicated bills presented to him, his untiring devotion to duty, and his readiness to serve his state, make us feel that we made a good choice and all dissatisfaction and trouble and unnecessary delays of business will be eliminated from the next session.

The curtain of fame rose on John Arthur Johnson when he became the title fistic champion of the world in defeating Tommy Burns in 1907, and it fell when Johnson lost to Willard in Cuba, Monroe in the words of Jack, "A younger and a better man won. I did not have no excuses to make now." We can only say, as the pugilist express, that sooner or later Father Time will issue his sum. He must be obeyed even at tremendous cost—whether it be loss of land and money—whether it be pain, sorrow or general discomfort; and as he has always been the manly characteristics of the conquered our race, we must take Johnson's defeat with the measure of our real sportsmen do.

There is no doubt but the anxiety for the return of the challenge the white race was better understood than expressed, and now is established of the gratifying and satisfying their longing, hope that all the inuendoes, calumnies and threats which have both on Johnson and the race because he was champion, will with the victory scored by Jess Willard. Credit must be given to Johnson as being one of the mostponents of the art of boxing, a great sportsman and a man who distracted his ability to be ranked among men of the best business the country, and in his advice and well wishes to Willard, with "Jess, I wish you all the luck you could wish yourself. I hope you cheap of money.

In the words of Jack, "A younger and a better man won. I did my best and I have no excuses to make now." We can only say, as the pugilistic experts express, that sooner or later Father Time will issue his summons which must be obeyed even at tremendous cost—whether it be loss of honor, glory and money—whether it be pain, sorrow or general discomfort; and therefore, as has always been the manly characteristics of the conquered member of our race, we must take Johnson's defeat with the measure of manliness as real sportsmen do. There is quite a difference between a "sport" and a "sportsman," and in a definition given us by a public speaker who visited Denver recently, we gathered, finmoration that the former is a cheap sportsman, who just bloomed and blossomed but, not having undergone the training necessary to appreciate success and failure, never bears print, as he cannot respond successfully to the tests when put to him, while the latter, having gone through the necessary toils to make and strengthen character, is ready and willing to accept with true manly spirit victory and defeat when they present themselves. There is no doubt but the anxiety for the return of the championship to the white race was better understood than expressed, and now that the fact is established of the gratifying and satisfying their longing, we sincerely hope that all the inuendoes, calumnies and threats which have been heaped both on Johnson and the race because he was champion, will pass away with the victory scored by Jess Willard. Credit must be given to Johnson as being one of the most clever exponents of the art of boxing, a great sportsman and a man who has demonstrated his ability to be ranked among men of the best business acumen of the country, and in his advice and well wishes to Willard, when he said, "Jess, I wish you all the luck you could wish yourself.

To have command of French, Spanish or German assists a young man or woman to progress with the firm. Dentistry, law, medicine and other like professions are slow and arduous because the student is rarely equipped to read or understand the phrasings of higher and foreign authorities, whose words are needful for study. Hence, much valuable time is lost and the student makes slow progress. Foreigners arrive in this country, associate with Americans, attend night schools and devote their minds to a study of our language. Japanese young men in particular seek situations as butlers, waiters and general utility in order to be in contact with the language. I have met graduates of colleges of Japan, men of high birth, priests and soldiers, merchants and college students, engineers and theological students who have acquired the difficult American tongue. For intelligent young men and women there are opportunities as interpreters, stenographers, proof readers, copy holders, governesses, teachers, chaperons, professional men and in many other vocations. Notably, the Spanish possessions and Mexican commercial, professional and mining interests are demanding assistance from students of Spanish. The first practical interest dates from the Cuban and Spanish war, when Americans flocked to Cuba and the Philippines. Clerical and professional men and women eagerly sought language schools and by concentration and application they soon acquired a certain knowledge, which was developed later when they settled in their new homes. To train the mind in a study of languages is fine discipline. The concentration acquired through this means is valuable in many ways, for it is the mind that develops the successful man. In one's spare moments a language may be learned by means of a study at home through excellent books for this purpose, the phonograph, or at night school. Contact and study with natives is preferable, but many men learn as they can. good for us." I therefore venture to suggest that the reason of the beneficial result is that the more dense the air the less action is required of the lungs to sustain normal animation. Inside the house it may require as many as half a dozen inflations to secure the same amount of oxygen that would be seured by one inflation of the lungs in the denser air. Therefore it seems reasonable to conclude that the lungs become quieter and the whole physical system also becomes quieter and the whole man, lungs, brain and all, goes more soundly to sleep in the denser outside air. When the weather is cold enough to require fire for comfort, the air in all ordinary houses and rooms is less moist and vital than the cold, dense air outside, and as a consequence when one enters such a place the action of the respiratory organs becomes more laborious, so much so in extreme cases as to manifest itself to us and we say the room is stuffy. A health department bulletin published during extreme cold weather advised: "Don't stay in a stuffy room any longer than you need to get out." Stuffiness is manifested through resistance to breathing and in no other way. The degree of stuffy unwholesomeness is plainly indicated by the degree of breathing relief felt when stepping from such a room or house out into the open air if it is not sufficiently stuffy to attract our attention while inside. Again, outside, in cold weather, sufficient oxygen is contained in so small a quantity of air that one can breathe as nature intended, through one's nostrils, and this explains the rapid recovery from bronchial trouble. Other things noticeable in those who sleep out are less snoring and fewer stories of horrid dreams. They sleep. is, there are so many mothers who don't care about training their daughters for housekeeping.

Now the influence of a good mother is such that when the time comes for a daughter to make her own home she will cook all right and be able to attend to all the details of her home.

SIMMONS, Prop. The Boston News Bureau says that at the sugar mills of the Nipe Bay company in Cuba more bagasse or refuse is being developed from the cane than is needed for fuel and that the surplus is being made into paper. It says that this paper is of a "spendid grade," selling at high figures and good profit. This possibility has been discussed often and sugar cane is not the only product considered capable of such use. Over in the Philippines one of the difficulties of agriculture is the rapidity with which the cogon grass springs up and occupies the soil. Many experiments have been made with this filtrous substance in the way of papermaking and good prospects have been reported. If it proves available, we shall have a crop, self-sowed, which ripens in a few months, as against the spruce, which, if it revives at all, takes 20 years for renewal. An episode at the Yale bicentennial in 1901 illustrated the readiness of President Hadley's intellectual resources. One of the distinguished guests was the representative of the University of Upsala in Sweden. This gentleman, when received by President Hadley and the corporation in the reception room of the Art school, delivered a long address in Latin. As soon as he had finished, President Hadley made a lengthy reply, also in Latin. "Well, well," said Chauncey M. Depew—at least the story represents him as saying—"I never knew that President Hadley could talk Swedish!" - World's Work On the Matrimonial Sea. It is said of Nathaniel Bowditch, the distinguished mathematician and navigator, that he made it a rule of his life never to allow his wife to come into his presence without his expressing in some way his pleasure in her being there. And that, as another has said, was a very good rule of navigation.—Delineator. For more than three hundred years the water supply of the city of Havana was carried through an open ditch, built in 1592. The supply originated at the springs of the Almendares river, nine miles south of the city, and this source still provides an adequate flow, for the springs, which have since been fully developed, number 400 and are enclosed by a heavy wall of masonry which is constantly under military guard. An aqueduct has long since supplanted the ditch. A prominent school principal lately told us some of the answers found in pupils' examination papers. Here are two of them: "What is a volcano?" "A volcano is a mountain that sometimes blows the equator off." "What is the difference between a mountain and a hill?" "A hill is like a mountain, only a mountain is a little more hillier."

Ball. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor. Dr. J. P. Howard, the hero of many battles and one of the greatest evangelists of the West, will arrive in the city today and will fill the pulpit morning and evening tomorrow. He comes to us directly from St. Louis, Mo., where he conducted two revivals in which upwards of 300 persons were taken into the church. Our spring revival begins tomorrow and it is hoped that the coming to us of this man of God will be the means of a great spiritual awakening in Denver. He needs no introduction to the people of this city, for his former campaigns here are his best recommendation. Preaching service will be held every evening and we invite our sister churches to join us. Our Easter service this year, as predicted, was a record breaker. The services during the day were of a high order and culminated in one of the most brilliant and inspiring musical renditions that we have witnessed. Large audiences flocked to the church throughout the day and at evening, notwithstanding a silver offering was taken at the door, a number of persons were turned away for lack of accommodation. Our choir, under the direction of Miss Jennie M. Hicks, through the rendition of the cantata, "Cross and Crown," placed upon the public a debt of gratitude which will not be easy to discharge. The verdict of the public is that our choir triumphed gloriously. Our Easter rally has been extended to Sunday, April 18th, at which time all members who did not meet their obligations Sunday are requested to pay their assessments in full. The passing of Miss Ruth Fife took from us a most beautiful character whose place will be hard to fill. Her funeral was held from the church Monday afternoon. Our sympathy goes out to loved ones.

The services on Easter Day were the best for such an occasion we have ever had. Ninety per cent. of the resident communicant membership partook of the Lord's Supper at the 6 and 11 a. m. services combined. The attendance and contribution of the membership were commendable. Having expurged our roll of 43 ecclesiastical parasites the pruning was resultant in good fruitage, as stated above. The offertory reached a little more than the $50 mark for the day. The musical renditions, with the literary contribution of Miss Isabel Chapman, were all that the audience could have expected. Having begun our Presbyterial year, 1915-1916, under such healthy conditions let every member of the People's Church continue the good work by your presence, contribution and general interest at all of the services.

To hash cold venison, cut the meat in nice, small slices and put the trimmings and bones into a saucepan with barley water enough to cover them. Let them stew for an hour, then strain the liquid into a stew pan, add to it some bits of butter, rolled in flour, and whatever gravity was left of the venison the day before. Stir in some currant jelly and let it boll up, then put in the meat and keep it over the fire just long enough to warm through, but do not allow it to boll, as it has been once cooked already. Venison Steaks—Cut them from the neck or haunch. Season them with pepper and salt. When the gridiron has been well heated over a bed of bright coals, grease the bars and lay the steaks upon it. Broil them well, turn them once and take care to save as much of the gravy as possible. Serve them with some currant jelly laid on each steak. Have your plates warm. GOOD WAY TO SERVE STEAK Planked, With Duchess Potatoes, Is a Manner Popular With the Best Cooks. Wipe, remove superfluous fat and parboil 7 minutes a porterhouse or crosscut of the rump steak, cut 1% inches thick. Butter a plank and arrange a border of duchess potatoes close to edge, using a pastry bag and rose tube. Remove steak to plank, put in a hot oven and bake until steak is cooked and potatoes are browned. Spread steak with butter, sprinkle with salt, pepper and finely chopped parsley. Garnish top of steak with sauteed mushroom caps and put around steak at equal distances halves of small tomatoes sauteed in butter, and on top of each tomato a circular slice of cucumber. You can use potato balls, small onions, peas and carrots diced as a garnish. Duchess Potatoes.—To two cups hot riced potatoes add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half teaspoonful salt and yolks of three eggs slightly beaten. Shape, using pastry bag and tube. Brush over with beaten egg diluted with one teaspoonful water. Bread. Much good bread is wasted on account of drying and hardening on the outside. This needless waste could be easily prevented by wrapping the unused portion of the loaf in a clean piece of muslin or towel wrung out of cold water before putting it away after each meal; or it might be rewrapped in the waxed paper that comes with some kinds of bread. The so-called stale bread, so much of which is wasted, is really better for one's digestion and health than the freshly baked, dyspepsia-breeding article, for it is more friable and absorbent and it really absorbs the saliva and gastric juice which penetrate it and act upon every particle of it. The fresh bread is so moist that like a wet sponge it can take up no more moisture, and it is acted upon by the digestive juices on the surface only. Whole-Wheat Bread. Dissolve a yeast cake in two tablespoonfuls of tepid water. Add a pint of milk to a pint of boiling water and let stand until lukewarm. Then add the dissolved yeast, a teaspoonful of salt and enough whole-wheat flour to make a thick batter. Beat this batter for about fifteen minutes. It will become quite soft and liquid. Add enough flour to make a good dough. Turn it on to a board and knead a few minutes. Return to the pan and let rise until it is light. About three hours is the usual time. Pressed Beans and Sausage. Let one pint pea beans soak over night, wash, drain and cook until very tender, but not broken, in boiling water. Put the beans in baking dish with sausage here and there, using about one-half pound sausage. Dissolve one teaspoonful salt in one pint boiling water and pour over the beans, adding more, if needed. Bake five or six hours and serve hot with catchup or any other table sauce. The Piece Bag. Here is a sensible way of tagging the contents of a piece bag: On the outside of the bag fasten the largest procurable safety pin. When dressmaking is over attach samples to this pin of every remnant that goes into the bag. A great amount of time and patience is saved by this simple device, for one can see at a glance just what the bag contains. Ham and Cheese Dish. One-half cupful cheese, one-half cupful boiled ham (run ham and cheese through chopper), three eggs, six soda crackers, rolled fine, one tablespoonful table sauce, salt and red pepper, one teaspoonful baking powder, one cupful milk. Stir beaten egg into ham and crackers, add milk, add other ingredients, baking powder last. Bake 30 minutes. It is fine. Chicken Pattles. Patty cases may be bought in city bakeries, and will save time and trouble in preparing this dish. For their filling cut up cold chicken into tubes, with sliced canned mushrooms and a teaspoonful of chopped onions. Make a white sauce, and add the mixture of chicken and mushrooms, with seasoning of salt, cayenne pepper and a few grains of mace. Serve in heated patty cases. A Wild Irish Rose H.M. EGBERT “Be easy, now, Mr. Shaun, and give over!” said Rose Farley, a8 the carter, encouraged by his fare's free-and-easy manners, attempted to put his arm about her, “Sure, now, Miss Rose,” said Shaun, “you're old enough to be having sweet- hearts beyond number, even if you are going to school.” He tried to embrace her again, but Rose slapped him briskly across the cheek and sprang from the cart. Shaun meant no harm, but, angered by the blow, resolved that the girl should pay toll of a kiss for it. He leaped from his seat and pursued her into the bosky dell Rose, hearing him behind her, ran Panting through the undergrowth, Sud- denly she espied a hollow tree before her. It was the work of a moment to Snuggle into it, and from that point of vantege she saw Shaun go biunder- ing by, When he had passed she darted out like «squirrel and back to the road. It was the work of a mo: ment to unharness the horse, and, mounted on Dobbin’s back, she went clattering toward her destination, leav- ing Shaun, who saw her from a dis: tance, to pull his vehicle over the three miles of road that led to his ob: Jective. It was to {nstill In Rose Farley some sense of the conventions that she had been gent to live with her old aunt in the neighborhood of the school that she was to attend, Her unconvention al arrival on horseback naturally at tracted the attention of the villagers, and frank admiration was expressed for the pretty girl who had outwitted Shaun, Shaun became the Jest of the village, and his disconsolate state o} mind was not lessened when Terence MeCoy, the squireen, showed himsel to be Rose's devoted admirer. But Rose, free-hearted and wild was as little disposed to accept Me Coy’s attentions as she had been t accept Shaun's, thereby drawing dow: on herself the wrath of her aunt, whe admired Terence and thought him « splendid match for the girl “{ ought to put the black curse or you,” she mumbled. “Sure, did ever « girl have stich a chance as yours What's the matter with Terence tha you'll have not a word to speak will him?” Rose shuddered, for her aunt's repu tation ax one gifted with the power o Geers Ss -) a -* y Pe) hs Mx aE “Put Him Out of Your Heart, Rose and Marry Me.” the curse was a high one. Neverthe- less she continued to evade Terence, who became half mad with love for her. But presently the cause of her shy- ness became obyious. At first it was only village gossip, but soon it became known universally, The cause was Capt. Roderick Allen, the new master of Wild Crag manor. He had been riding past the wood in which Rose was seated. She sat there petulantly, having narrowly es- caped a tiresome interview with her unwelcome suitor. Manners are free in western Ireland, and when a young man and a maid meet there is little need of the formality of an in- troduction. A lift of the hat, a bow, and pres- ently the two, much taken with each other, were chatting as happily as if they had known each other all their lives, Day by day this love affair pro- gressed. Those stolen interviews were sweet as honey to both of them. But gradually, as Captain Allen realized his dawning love, bis mauner became tinged with sadness. After the first kiss Rose spoke to him about that. A cae hein | Races RM tre oe BW hen a makes you sad? Do you think me un- worthy to become your wife? If you think so, it is not for me to hold you.” He strained her to his heart for an- wer, and Rose forgot her doubts and fears. And meanwhile Captain Allen, seated at home in his manor at Wild Crag, awaited a fateful message with fevered impatience. At last it came, and with trembling fingers he tore open the envelope and read. Then, with a groan, he let the letter flutter to the ground and bowed his face upon his hands. “Your wife may live on indefinite ly,” was the gist of the message. Years before, when little more than a boy, Allen had become entangled with a woman whom honor had com: pelled him to marry. ‘There had been no love on either sfde, and only wretchedness for the man. As for the woman, her position as chatelaine of the manor house had been an ade- quate recompense for her bondage. She had little heart, and none for Roderick. ‘The cramped heart, and the little, narrow brain had failed her. She had become hopelessly insane and was confined in an asylum. Roderick Allen had done all in his power for her. But her disease was a progressive one and he looked forward to her re- lease by death, for both their sakes. When he met Rose and loved her he ‘had not the heart to tell her of his past. He had resolved to ask her to become his wife when the release came. Then she should know. But the letter told him that the specialists had erred, and that there must be years of wretchedness to come. And in their favored trysting place he broke the news to his sweetheart It broke her. She bent forward, as Allen had done, and hid her face in her hands, “Forgive me!” he pleaded. “Forgive me for the unhappiness that I have brought on you.” Then Rose Farley raised her head “It has not been unhappiness,” she whispered tremulously. “It has been Joy—immeasurable joy.” Thus he left ber. And she knew that life had disciplined her nature at last. He left her and went secretly away, and Rose, distracted, haunted the ma- nor grounds. dreaming of the days of her too brief romance. Doubts of her sanity spread among the villagers. Some pitied her, but judgments are apt to be hard, and more pitied the man, whom they considered to have been led astray by a willful girl. “If he comes back I'll put the black curse on him, mavourneen,” her old aunt mumbled. “Sure, why don't you think a little about Terence McCoy, who's dying for love of you?” Rose had not heart to answer her. Daily she wandered about the manor grounds, and now it seemed as if her brain had really begun to fail her. The memory of those sacred moments haunted her, she could not bear to be away from that trysting place where Roderick had told her of his love for her, and she would repeat his words over and over, hugging their bitter sweetness to her soul. Meanwhile Terence McCoy's hopes ran high. The girl avoided him no longer. She only looked at him with haggard eyes when he spoke to her. | Me had an ally in the good priest of the village, who could not understand Rose’s caring for a man who seemed to have decetved her and to be wholly unworthy, He urged Rose to accept ‘Terence, who was well endowed with this world’s goods, and seemed, tn. deed, to be an excellent match. But Terence McCoy's patience was not inexhaustible, and he hit upon a way of bringing his suit to a success. ful close. When he met Rose he ceased to woo her; instead, he began to feign sympathy with her in her dis tress. “I love you, Rose,” he said, “but heaven knows I wouldn't be the oné to stand in the way of your happi ness. Perhaps the woman will dle Rose. I know where the captain's gone, and I know that he cares fot you.” “And 1 love him, Terence,” sal¢ Rose, raising her eyes hopelessly.“ shall always care for him. But T ik your sympathy, We must be friends Terence.” “Now, that’s better,” sald Terencs gayly, linking his arm in hers. “You'l never have a better friend than Ter ence McCoy, or one who wishes yot happiress more.” When he had awon Rose's confidence | Terence developed his scheme, whic! consisted In a letter addressed to him self, purporting to come from one o .| the captain's servants, announcing hi ,| death abroad. He contrived to dro} :| the communication in the girl's pres eee, derstand the depth of a sincere love. His love for Rose was essentially selfish in nature. But he pursued it with the intensity of will common to ‘narrow natures, The news of Captain Allen's death spread through the village. The occu- Pant of the manor was not popular there, and little sympathy was wasted “upon the girl. “Now will be the squireen’s chance,” they said. “He's waited long enough and he'll win her.” “He's too good for her,” the women sneered, “I'd have put the black curse upon the captain if he'd ever come back.” the old woman mumbled. Only the priest was sincerely dis- tressed. He had been fond of the willful girl who had been placed in his charge, and he knew that life had taught her many things which he could have taught only after long !a- bor and countless efforts, It had not dealt kindly with her. But he meant to be kind. He had seen so many love affairs, and he knew that they were generally forgotten in marriage. “You won't say no to Terence any more, Rose,” he pleaded. “Sure, its for your own good that I'm talking, child. Captain Allen’s dead, and it's not right for a girl of your age to fix her heart on the dead when there's life before you and the living waiting to claim you. And Terence will make you happy and be a good husband to you.” ‘They never ceased to tell her that: the priest, her aunt, and Terence him- self, Gradually they wore Rose’s will away. And at last the day came when she promised her hand to Terence. “But I can’t give you my heart, Ter- ence,” said Rose. “You tell me— they all tell me—that some day I'll learn to care, and perhaps that’s true. I don't know. But I feel as if I haven't ee ts ee ss eee Af . Pe | | any heart now, because it has been broken.” “Yl trust to that,” sald Terence Me- Coy. So the day was set and at last ar- rived. Hose, in her wedding dress, stood with Terence before the altar. The village gathered in the parish chureh, “I never saw a bride that looked so pale,” whispered one villager’s wife to another. “She's grieving for that black- guard,” was the answer, And so the ceremony began Outside there was the sound of a galloping horseman. It was Allen. He reined in at the chureh door, leaped to the ground, all mud-bespat- tered, and ran up the aisle. One or two turned their heads. “Rose!” he cried in desperate fear. ‘They gathered round and tried to hold him, The words that were to make Terence and Rose man and wife trembled on the girl's lips. She heard the tumult and something stayed her from uttering them. The captain burst through the crowd, flinging them right and left like human puppets. “Rose! She's dead and I am a free man!” he erfed. “She died yesterday, and I haven't stopped for a bite or a rest until I could come to you. Rose, it isn’t too late—it isn't too late!” “No!” sobbed the girl, and she clung to him in the presence of the scandalized multitude, while Terence bit his lip and glowered at the in- truder, yet suffered himself gladly to be held back by the villagers. ‘The old aunt hobbled forward, “I said that it you came back I'd put the black curse on you,” she cried, “and I will, May it fall on you like a bitght—" “Hush, woman!” said the priest, stopping her mouth. And like the wise man he was, he yielded to the inevitable, “Friends and neighbors,” he said, “you're all here, and you all know this story. Where true love is, there the true marriage is. So Terence McCoy, if what the captain tells us is true, you've played and lost, and you'd best take yourself away.” Terence glared about him, but the story had touched the hearts of all so that he saw himself beaten, And sullenly he made his way through the throng, ‘The priest turned to the captain. “The laws of the church won't le me marry you today,” he said, “bu begorra, there's no reason why | shouldn't put up the bans!” | KAPPENING e = A we is ie, A? ieee g UN TAC ge, og, TE ee Fi icy po.

YORK.—In the heart of Manhattan fsland, on Fifth avenue itself, and within three blocks of Forty-second street, live three women, who, with their one sister who lives on Central Park west, are absolute mistresses of a among landed properties in the United States. The Wendel estate, incident- ally, antedates that of the Astors, as the first John Gottlieb Wendel turned from the fur trade to the acquisition of New York real estate several years before the first John Jacob Astor made a similar transition. Of the sisters, only one is married. She has no children. She is Mrs. Luther A. (Rebecca A. G. Wendel) Swope of 249 Central Park west, where she lives alone with her husband. She is the only one of the family who ever ventures abroad among her kind, The other sisters, Mary E. A., Ella E. von E. and Georgiana G. K. Wen- del, still cling to the old house on the northwest corner of Thirty-ninth street and Fifth avenue, directly opposite the Union League club. The Wendel house is a three-story brown stone front, red brick structure. It was built in 1856, and looks every year of its age. Its original cost was about $5,000, and though it stands on a lot now assessed at a value of $1,897,000, it has never been altered or renovated in the slightest degree. Up at Irvington is the Wendel country estate. For a score of years the ‘annual migration to and from Irvington has formed the sole occasion of the ‘public appearance of the four sisters. Every spring they, Mr. Swope and the two old servants leave the house at Thirty-ninth street and walk the three blocks up to Forty-second street and two blocks to the Grand Central terminal to take the train for Irvington. Even this brief excursion is matter for anxious preparation and is undertaken in fear and trembling. Warning to All Flies: Keep Away From St. Louis T, LOUIS.—The St. Louis Kill-the-Fly association is preparing to inaugu- 5 rate a campaign this spring that will, if it receives the aid of the public, make St. Louis a flyless city. Tentative plans provide for the paying of a year than ever, and it was the destruction of the early flies that showed what concerted action could accomplish. “What the association will accomplish this year depends entirely on how generously the public responds to our appeal for aid. Circular letters are now being sent out explaining the need for contributions. “If we should get a fund of $15,000 I feel that we can practically elim- inate the fly in one season. If we get a smaller sum we will make it go just as far as it will and do just as much good as we can, “We want to get prizes, thousands of them, so that every boy or girl who enters the campaign will receive not only his pay in cash for the files he destroys, but will receive a prize in addition that will be an incentive to put forth his best exertions.” Savannah Man Has a Beard That Is Some Beard AVANNAH, GA.—When any young man stands flat footedly on the threshold S of Mfe and makes up his medium-sized mind to accomplish something definite in the world, he is deserving of something.

Commissioner of Ingurance. Published In The Colorado Statesman by authority of the Company, NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON WASHINGTON.—Officials of the Smithsonian institution consider the receipt of sea serpent stories merely a part of the day's work and refuse to be in the least excited by telegrams or letters telling of the discovery of remains, and neither was anyone there with a camera. The other sea monster, discovered on Derniere island, Louisiana, was described as a huge fish, "80 feet long and with an estimated weight of 90 tons—180,000 pounds—with the head of an elephant with ivory tusks, the snout of an alligator and the body of a whale." This, the officials assert, probably is the carcass of a whale of unusual size. Most frequently the fish which is mistaken for a sea serpent is the thrasher shark, which grows to a length of 20 feet or more. This shark is commonly known to fishermen in northern Atlantic waters, in the Mediterranean sea and also off the coast of California as the "swingle-tailed shark," because of the great length of its tail. Frequently when a number of these sharks travel together there is the appearance of an extraordinarily long fish, and the long tails, which are used to thrash through the water, support the belief that a sea serpent has been seen. What America Lacks in Way of Art Education REALIZING that many Americans who have begun their art studies abroad will be compelled to continue their work in the United States because of the European war, Dr. P. P. Claxton, commissioner of the United States bu while great progress has been made in the development of many art schools in this country, art education as a whole lacks co-ordination, that Americans apparently have begun at the wrong end, having many schools devoted to academic work in contrast to a few industrial art schools. It is believed that much can be done by the federal, state and municipal governments in the way of encouraging the progress of fine and industrial arts in the United States by establishing a system of scholarships similar to the practice in a number of European systems. There a system of small scholarships has been developed which gradually eliminates the less talented pupils, but gives continued and increasing support to the unusually gifted. According to Miss Levy, the Centennial exposition in Philadelphia in 1876, stimulated a new interest in art and art education in America. She credits the Columbian exposition in Chicago in 1893, and the Louisiana Purchase exposition, in 1904, as giving added impetus to the art movement in the United States, and expresses the belief that the Panama-Pacific exposition, in San Francisco during the coming year, will bring about a great awakening in art on the Pacific coast. When Adamson Appeared in New Suit of Clothes When Adamson Appeared in New Suit of Clothes WILLIAM CHARLES ADAMSON, representative from Georgia for the past 16 years and chairman of the house committee on interstate and foreign commerce, has a new suit of clothes. This announcement would not be made on his wearing apparel, both verbal and published, that the judge, as he is familiarly known, decided to tone up a bit. Accordingly he bought this new suit and wandered in where the crowd was thickest, in the house lobby, to show it off. He strutted up and down the lobby several times and finally blurred out: "Well, I don't see any use in buying a new suit if nobody is going to say anything about it." Whereupon conversation ceased and Adamson was "given the once over" by about thirty pairs of eyes, and instead of compliments the remarks were, "Where did you get it?" "How did it happen?" et cetera. He said: "You see, they wanted to charge me $14 for this same suit, but I thought that was too much and so I waited until they had a marked down sale and got it for $10." In summer Adamson is one of the first to don an all-white costume, including white canvas shoes and white socks, and the suit usually has the appearance of having been used also as pajamas at night. It is therefore an event when Adamson puts on a new suit.

"Aren't you going over to vote?" asked Aven. "Oh, yes; later on I will," replied Young, yawning.

P. Claxton, reau of education, has had a report made on the professional art schools of this country by Miss Florence N. Levy, editor of the American Art Annual. In the study which Miss Levy has made she has outlined the history of the movement in this country and has described the system of management of the various institutions, including the academic schools, schools of design and industrial art, schools of architecture and of normal art. Miss Levy is of the opinion that, while great progress has been made in this country, art education as a wha apparently have begun at the wrong academic work in contrast to a few in much can be done by the federal, st way of encouraging the progress of States by establishing a system of so number of European systems.

Two such reports came to them recently, however, that were somewhat interesting. One told of the finding of the remains of a serpent at Indian Rocks, on the west coast of Florida not far from St. Petersburg. The creature was described as fully 40 feet long, with a huge head, and if it was not a veritable sea serpent, the oldest fisherman on the coast did not know what it was.

This announcement would not be made but for the reason that Judge Adamson seemed a bit hurt the other day when he strode in before about thirty of his colleagues attired in the new purchase and nobody noticed it. Adamson has been careless of his clothing, save that he has shown a particular fondness for bright red neckties and red vests, and his suit usually fits him about as gracefully as a shirt on a beanpole. He does not care, so long as he is comfortable, but so much comment had been made and published, that the judge, as he is a bit.

"It means a cool three thousand! Think I'll turn that down?" Helen did not answer. With tremulous fingers she was tearing at the margin of the "Final Extra" with its flaring war headlines. "There's no risk, I tell you," persisted Warren. "London's all right, and I'll be back in less than a month. Now, for heaven's sake, cut the hysteria. Business here is dead! I'm not making enough to pay the office rent. If I've got a chance like this—I'd be a chump not to take it." Helen swallowed hard at the lump in her throat. As he threw them on a chair glance fell on Helen's packed to which stood conspicuously by the door of her room. "Why, what's all this?" gazing with a puzzled frown. "What devil—" "I'm all packed except a few t I'll need in the morning." "You're packed! What in thun Are you crazy?" "No, dear, but I would be let you go on this trip alone," ping her hand mirror in an unde and putting it in the tray. For a moment he stared at her "Jove, I'll have to hustle to meet Griffin at 8:30," glancing at his watch. "You'd better be getting my things together. That small steamer trunk in the storeroom?" She nodded. "Well, give me the storeroom key and I'll have the elevator boy bring it up. Get me an umbrella, will you? Drizzling when I came in." Helen got the key and the umbrella, and followed him to the door. As he took his hat from the hall rack he stooped to kiss her with a brisk: "Now, don't be silly. You ought to be deuced glad this offer came my way. Don't sit up for me. Griffin's going over the whole case tonight—only chance we'll have." And with a cheerful "So long," Warren stepped into the elevator. From the front room window Helen gazed down at the umbrella that came out and bobbed up the street. She was still dazed from the announcement he had made at dinner with such brutal abruptness. Mr. Griffin had today offered him $3,000 if he would make a rush trip to London to look after some interest in a stock company that had become involved since the war. Helen had heard the details only vaguely. "Sailing on the St. Paul tomorrow noon," was the part that had seared into her mind. Warren had tabooed her fears. London was safe, perfectly safe, and he would be home in less than a month. Three thousand and all expenses paid—it was an offer to jump at. A deafening thunder crash, a zigzagged streak of lightning—and the rain came down in sheets. It was the climax, as it were, to her own terrifying thoughts. The curtains were soaked before her hands, weak with trembling, could put down the windows. Then, with her nerves still a quiver, she hurried to answer a startling ring. What could it be? No one would call so late! It was the bellboy with the trunk. "Mr. Curtis said you wanted this up tonight." "Oh, yes, just—just take it in there—in the bedroom." With the lump tightening in her throat, Helen looked down at the trunk, which bore the labels of their London trip two years ago. She had been going with him then. She thought of all the joyous preparation for that trip! Now he was going alone—with all Europe at war! What might not happen? Her mind was filled with lurid pictures of possible dangers. How could he consider the money a compensation? Mechanically Helen unlocked the trunk. The tray was empty. Underneath were two steamer rugs, a shawl strap, a heavy trunk strap, Warren's travelling cap and an air pillow. Slowly she took out the things and scooped up the scattered mothballs. For a long time she knelt there, the rugs on her knee, fumbling with the balls she had thrown into the cap. Her breath came fast. Her hand clenched tight over the crunching balls. Then she started up, threw the things on the bed, rushed out to the hall and rang peremptorily for the elevator. Not until the car shot up did she take her tense finger from the button. "There—there's another steamer trunk in the basement," breathlessly, "that Mr. Curtis forgot. We're sailing tomorrow, so I must pack tonight. Will you bring it up at once?" In a few moments the trunk was in her room. With a desperate, feverish haste she began to pack—Warren's trunk first and then her own. There was no hesitancy or uncertainty in her movements. Her usual indecision was swept away by a resolute decisiveness. Her tense excitement acted as a stimulant that urged her on. It was after twelve and she was crowding in her tray the last few things when she heard his key in the door. "Hello, you up yet? Take this, will you?" thrusting at her the dripping umbrella. Then as he entered his room: "Got the trunk packed? That's fine. Put in plenty of underwear? Don't know when I'll get any washing done." "I put in five suits," her voice misleadingly quiet; "that's all you have clean." "Ought to be enough. Phew, I'm tired," peeling off his coat and vest. As he threw them on a chair his glance fell on Helen's packed trunk, which stood consipulously by the open door of her room. "Why, what's all this?" gazing at it with a puzzled frown. "What the devil—" "I'm all packed except a few things I'll need in the morning." "You're packed! What in thunder—Are you crazy?" "No, dear, but I would be if I'd let you go on this trip alone," wrapping her hand mirror in an underskirt and putting it in the tray. For a moment he stared at her, then turned away with a sneering: "Don't be a fool! Cut that stage acting and help pack my suit case." "It's already packed. Do you want to take that gray sweater? I left it there on the chair," deftly fitting in her bedroom slippers. "See here, we'll settle this right now! I've got enough to put up with without any new capers from you." Helen rose from the trunk and turned to him with a fierce intensity. turned to him with a fierce intensity. "Warren, I'm going! I've thought it all out. You've a stateroom alone—you can easily get another passage. But if you won't do that—I shall go anyway. I've enough money of my own." "Have you gone stark, staring mad?" bellowed Warren. "There's no use roaring at me. This time it won't help. I'm going on the St. Paul tomorrow—if I have to go steerage. Dear," she laid a pleading hand on his arm, "I've never felt about anything as I do about this. I'm desperate—can't you see that? I can endure anything but the thought of your taking this trip alone." Warren looked at her in astonishment. It was a phase of her character he had never seen. In the mildest and meekest woman there is always the possibility of a desperation, an emotional recklessness that may never be aroused. Tonight it had been aroused in Helen. Whatever she might feel tomorrow, tonight she had this reckless courage that knew no fear. She could have hurled herself from the window without a tremor. If Warren went alone he might never return, he might in some way become involved in the war—it was this thought that impelled her. With a muttered oath Warren strode into the library and began sorting over some papers he was to take with him. He did not speak or even glance toward Helen again. The papers packed, still in a glowering silence he took his bath and threw himself heavily into bed. When Helen crept in beside him, she pressed a wistful, caressing cheek against his shoulder as he lay with his back toward her. But he shook her off with a savage; "Let me alone, will you?" With a sigh she turned away. For hours she lay watching the white curtain as it fluttered out in the faint light from the street. There is nothing so intimidating, so fatal to self-confidence, as a sleepless night, and gradually Helen felt her courage weakening. Her plans so boldly conceived now seemed impossible. Yet for Warren to go alone—to take the risks she felt he would take if she were not with him! She turned and threw her arms about him with a protective tenderness, softly kissing his hair and neck and shoulder until he stirred uneasily in his sleep. It was dawn before Helen's torturing thoughts grew confused. . . A street in a foreign city crowded with a riotous mob. Was it London? Soldiers with glittering bayonets were shouting at something overhead—an aeroplane. The man leaning out of it was—Warren. The soldiers took aim—a crash — the machine shot down— "See here, it's almost seven." Warren was standing by the bed in his bathrobe. "If we sail at noon—you can't lie there all day." Dazed, bewildered, Helen gazed up at him. The sound of his words was still in the air. "If we sail at noon—" Then her mind cleared. "Warren!" She drew him down to the bed beside her. "You said 'we,' You mean—you are—" "Huh, from the way you ranted last night—I haven't much choice." "Oh, you have—you have," as she clung to him. "I was desperate last night—but I couldn't have carried it through. But, oh, to have you take me willingly!" The words ended in an ecstatic sob. "Well, I've mulled it over. It'll be about as cheap to take you as to be cabling back every hour. Now hustle—you'll have to move fast." And, dodging Helen's clinging arms, next moment Warren was whistling in his bath. "Don't you think there is a lot of poetry in the mere mention of the voices of the night?" "Hardly, if the voice is the baby's, with the colia."

Manufacturers of these essentials of the wardrobe have entered the field with models very close to the original design and have found them more heartily appreciated than ever. These waists are cut with a masculine severity of line, of the softest and most supple silks, and finished with hemstitching and needlework, decorative buttons and other items of daintiness in detail that proclaim them as utterly feminine. Wash silks and crepe de chine are the favorite materials for shirt waists. They are cut with high or convertible collars, which must be provided with supporting wires if they are to stand up. Sleeves are long and finished with cuffs. The three waists pictured here may be accepted as correct in style without any misgivings. The first one is of crepe de chine with hemstitched seams. The fronts are fulled on to Gown of Semitra The pretty gown shown in the picture is developed in a net-top lace with heavy pattern of embroidered flowers and scalloped edges. It would look just as well made of shadow lace, voile, embroidered bastiste, chiffon, or any other of those semitransparent fabrics for which women show an increasing partiality. All the summery printed mulls and the new voiles of fancy weave are at the disposal of the copyist who fancies this model. Since it is the airliness and coloring of the fabric more than anything else that counts in a gown of this character it may be made to cost much or little. For nets, laces and voiles an underslip of silk is needed, and a slip of this kind looks best under any of the transparent materials. But if one must practice strict economy the underslip may be of some of the silky looking cotton fabrics or of mull with good effect. An underslip of pink taffeta supports the flouences that make up the skirt in this dress, and the fiehulike drapery of the bodice. This fichu falls over a wide girdle of pink ribbon with bow and looped ends at the back. The girdle is supported by a shaped and boned foundation, and faces down the front with a silk cord. The silk skirt is moderately wide and finished at the bottom with a box- the narrow yoke. The straight collar supports a second collar of embroidered batiste which opens with wings at the front. The cuffs are deep, close-fitting and plain, finished at the edge with machine hemstitching. Small jet buttons fasten the front. At the right a similar waist has a narrow panel down the front, fastening to the left side with flat pearl buttons. The plain cuffs are sloped, and fasten with buttons, also. The choker collar may be protected by a dainty embroidered turn-over band. White wash silk with narrow black and gray stripes is used for the mannish waist shown below the others. It is perfectly plain, with collar that may be worn either closed or open at the front. Pearl buttons fasten the front and the cuffs. The latter are made to turn back. The new waists are cool and very easy to launder. They are washed in warm suds and ironed when partially dry. It is the simplest of processes. Altogether the new waists have everything to recommend them. transparent Fabric plaited ruching of the silk, of which there are glimpses back of the scalloped flounce. The three flouncees are moderately full and overlap only to the depth of the scallop. There are no sleeves in the slip, but the lace is gathered over the shoulder and caught under the arm, forming a short bell sleeve. Stockings to match, one must have to be in the mode this season. These are of fine silk. But the slippers may match the gown in color or not. They are likely to be of bronze leather. Light blue makes blonde complexions look ashen. Dark blue sets off a blonde complexion in high relief by supplying a suitable background. Blue is unbecoming to a brunette, unless her cheeks be florid. If she be sallow it makes her face look tawny. Green has the same effect as blue upon brunettes, but makes the cheeks of a fair face look pinker. Red heightens the effect of pale brunette beauty. Yellow is highly becoming to a pale brunette, especially in artificial light. It softens an olive skin and gives it a creamy tint. --- DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING COMPANY J. R. CONTEE Pres. and Mgr.
