PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY BISHOP WAL- TERS AT EN- DEAVOR CONGRESS VOL. XXI. BISHOP TERS A DI CO Chicago, Ill., June 30.—The fifth world's and twenty-seventh international convention of the Society of Christian Endeavor was opened in the Coliseum, July 5. It continued to July 15. Among the distinguished members of the convention was Bishop Alexander Walters, who addressed the body on the subject, "Christianity the solution of the Race Problem" He spoke in part as follows: I admit that race prejudice is deep seated, stubborn, and one of the hardest things to eradicate in all the world. The learning and culture of the Greeks and the Romans were unable to eradicate race prejudice Even Christianity as practiced in the ages past has been unable to conquer it But in order to know whether Christianity will in the future overcome and destroy race prejudice, we must take a retrospective view and see what deep-rooted and gigantic evils Christianity has overcome and destroyed. Christianity met and struggled with the monster pagonism—throttled it and strangled it to death. When the struggle began paganism had learning, court influence, wealth and prestige on its side; while Christianity had poverty and was without learning or wealth—but it had the Christ life—the divine life—divine love, an inherent force on its side, and with these qualities it has conquered paganism. Christianity has slain the Coliath of Slavery. "When I study the history of the past it appears to me that Jehovah has throughout the ages, carried forward His great work of reformation and civilization by the selection of one great truth at a time, and making it paramount until it found lodgement in the hearts of men. HANDICAPS "With oriental people their handicap is race rather than color, because they have not been favored with leadership and have not made the same progress that European people have made. They are considered inferior, and thus denied equality. With the native African it is color and race that are their handicaps, and being still further back than the Orientals in the race of life it will require a longer time to achieve an equal place in the human family. It is Christianity, and Christianity alone, that is to level the barriers and give to these backward races their rightful place in the great Christian family. "America is the leader in present day civilization. She leads in commerce, invention, education, religion and social reforms. She is given a wonderful opportunity to do service for God and humanity in taking the lead in solving the race problem on Christian principles. I am of the opinion that the purpose of God in allowing the black man to be brought to these shores and to become a part of this civilization was to prepare the white man by contact, discipline and education, for world leadership in the spread of pure democracy and of the brotherhood of man. Equal treatment, fair treatment, just treatment, of the darker races is the est of the white man's religion. When the white man can treat a Negro, Japanese, Chinaman and African as a brother, and accord him all the rights of a brother, that white man can pass—he is pure gold and fit to lead any people and anywhere. I am expecting a wonderful change to come over this American people, a change for the better, when all the discriminations, all hindrances and barriers against the Japanese, the Chinese, the Negroes and Indians, etc., will be eliminated, and all be considered brethren dwelling together with the white man in unity and peace, and all the results of Christianity. "The Christian Church can hasten this great work. First, by being more aggressive in insisting upon the rights of men in the future than it has in the past. Heretofore, the church has been more negative than positive, and this is why the work has gone so slowly. The call has come for a more aggressive struggle than heretofore. The pulpit should be called upon to contend for the rights of all men, regardless of race or color; and this the great Christian Endeavor Society is doing. The press should DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY. JULY 24, 1915 State Hist & Nut Hist Biology State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO SA be more aggressive than heretofore. We only retard our work and delay our cause when we single out a backward race and make the fight for it. We should put them all together; Japanese, Chinese, Africans and Negro and make a straight out fight for the backward races and it would not be long before we would see the results of our labor. "The first thing to do is to combine to stop all nimical legislation on the part of our government. This can be done by united effort on the part of the Christian Church. There are people that are so blinded by their prejudices that they are willing to have country place a premium upon bastardism by not allowing a white man to father his child and protect the Negro woman he has betrayed. This matter has got to be dealt with in a most fearless manner. As long as we wink at prejudice and countenance immorality of any kind—there can not be much real Christian progress made. The truth is, the times call for a v'gorous opposition against all manner of sins. The Gospel is the remedy for all these ills; all we need to do is to apply it in the manner it should be. "We have seen the effects of Christianity in civilization and the industrial pursuits of men; we have witnessed its initiation of reforms and its place in home life, but its chief excellence is in its effects on human characters. Christianity must, in the last analysis, be judged by its ability to deliver men from sin and uproot existing evils—and this much needed work it is doing. NOTES ON RACIAL PROGRESS REPORTED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. The Danville (Virginia) Loan and Investment Company is capitalized at $35,000. The corporation owns property valued at $40,000 and have made loans to the amount of $13,000. E. H. Adams is president and J. R. Wilson, secretary and treasurer. Messrs. E. T. Pritchett and W. H. Wilson of Danville, Virginia, are successful merchants and real estate dealers said to be worth about $30,000. W. Howlett Jones, 207 Main street, Danville, Virginia, has had twenty-five years experience as a baker and manufacturing confectioner, and has successfully held his own against all competitors in the city. He easily does a business of $25,000 annually. The Brown Savings Bank of Norfolk is in a very healthy con- dition. E. C. Brown is president and William M. Rich, cashier. Starting six years ago, its total assets in 1909 of $10,434 has increased to $67,827 09 in 1914, which is being added to from twenty to thirty thousand each year. The Christmas Saving Club feature is very popular. In 1914 the bank paid to the depositors in this club the sum of $23,000. At the rate the members of the club are now making weekly deposits, the outlook is favorable for the return of $100,000 the forthcoming Christmas week to the fortunate depositors. The newspaper and job printing establishment of the "Journal and Guide," "The Newport News Star" and "The Planet" of Richmond, Virginia, are about the most complete businesses of its kind owned by the race in the United States. The pay-roll of the "Journal and Guide" is about $700 per week. Nowhere else in the country towns of Virginia are there to be found colored merchants handling a larger percentage of the business in town and surrounding country than in Kenbridge. The Mercantile Co-operative Stock Company is doing a live and extensive business. The company owns a commodious brick building 30x70 in a good location on Broad Street and it contains a well selected stock of merchandise; every shelf is crowded. Messrs. C. Carrington, president; G. W. Cralle, secretary; J. A. B Cralle, treasurer, are men of broad experience and real business capacity. It would be hard to find three men more competent and better qualified to handle big business than these men. The possibilities of this company are very great. The Cralle brothers also conduct a successful dry goods business, carrying the best and finest fabrics, including ladies and gents furnishing goods. The colored people of Virginia pay taxes on real and personal property to the amount of $34, 734,656. They pay taxes on personal property and real estate in the city of Richmond to the amount of $3,180,665. At the close of the Civil War they were practically penniless. Philadelphia, Pa , July 14.—Accused by her husband, Nellie Wilson is being held to await the action of the grand jury, charged with the murder on June 11 of Frances Carter.

A large cavity in a tooth can be deodorized by dipping a pellet of cotton, held by pilers, into water, then taking up with it a small quantity of sodium perborate from a saucer or glass slab and quickly introducing this dressing into the cavity. The perborate liberates oxygen, which renders the cavity odorless and relatively aseptic. RACE NEWS The Appellate Division, of the Supreme Court of New York has affirmed the verdict of the lower courts awarding $200 to Benjamin D.

Wabash Ave., former assistant county attorney, assistant corporation counsel; 3,000 a year, succeeding another colored appointee. The Rev. Archibald J. Carey, colored, 3428 Vernon Ave., pastor of Institutional Methodist church; investigator in the corporation counsel's office, $2,400 a year. Chicago, Ill., July 14—Mrs. Tiny Johnson, mother of Jack Johnson, pugilist, appeared in the South Clark street court today against H. E Gunderlach, whom she had arrested June 8 on a charge of larceny as bailee. Mrs. Johnson's sister and her son, Chas, were present in the courtroom. According to Mrs. Johnson, she had signed a bond for a friend, who later had disappeared. Gunderlach represented himself as a detective and offered to arrest the fugitive for $25. She paid the money, she said, to Gunderlach, who failed to find the man. "Mrs. Johnson, you had better get out of the bond business and keep what little money you have, counseled Judge Caverly. Defendant discharged. Chicago, Ill., July 14. On Monday, July 12, in Judge Moran's court, Julius F. Taylor, editor of The Broadaxe, a local publication, was convicted of criminal libel against Thomas Wallace Swan, secretary of the Half-Century Centennial Exposition, to be held August 22 to September 16. Taylor published an article in The Broadaxe in which he accused Swan of being a fugitive from justice, and a perjurer, and of trying to get $25,000 more from the Illinois Legislature. Niueteen judges of the municipal court were objected to at various times in the NO 49 trial of the case because they were said to be affected with race prejudice. COLORED BOY BREAKS GRADUATION RECORD COLORED BOY BREAKS GRADUATION RECORD New Haven, Conn., July 10.—A colored boy broke the graduation record in the public schools of New Haven, Conn., last week, when Pritchett A. Klugh, the 10-year-old son of Rev. Dr. D. S. Klugh, pastor of the Emanuel Baptist Church, graduated from the Scanton public school as the youngest member to ever leave the public school of this city. In the class with young Klugh were 150 members, all of them being 14 years of age and more, and the appearance of this young boy of color receiving his diploma at the age of 10 was easily the feature of the commencement exercises. The record that this boy has made has created a wide stir in educational circles of New Haven, and is furnishing a topic for conversation among the intellectuals that has sent the stock of the Negro race up in New Haven 100 per cent. Investigation has found that the record of young Klugh in school was very brilliant, and his work was warmly praised by his teachers and the principle of the school. Young Klugh has been prominently mentioned for a candidate for the New Haven high School, which prepares for Yale university, and when he enters high school this fall he will be the youngest candidate to ever enter the New Haven high school, which makes the feat of this boy a record that the whole race might be proud of. If he keeps up his present record, he will be ready for Yale university at the age of 14, an age when most boys are leaving the grammar school. In an interview with Rev. Dr. Klugh, the father of young Klugh, he stated that his boy was perfectly normal in his play and study. "He is very found of study stated Dr. Klugh, and that accounts for his success in his studies. Dr. Klugh said that his boy was extremely fond of reading and was also of a mechanical turn of mind. The record of young Klugh will be welcomed throughout the country with much delight and his career will be watched with keen interest. Rev. Dr. Klugh is one of the most successful pastors in New Haven, and his church is one of the largest of the city.

Evidence of the interest being taken in the coming International Soil Products exposition, which is to be held in connection with the International Farm Congress in Denver in September and October, is indicated by the active demands for space from various states in the country and from the provinces in Canada. At Bridgeport, Conn., the strike call issued for the machinists working in the plants of the Remington Arms and Ammunition Company and four subcontractors, brought out, according to the estimates of the labor leaders, in the neighborhood of 175 men.

Production Fell Off 1,067,516 Tons In Year, Wars and Mild Fall Being Causes Assigned. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The number of lives lost in Colorado coal mines decreased in 1914 to 7 per 1,000 employés from 8.6 per 1,000 employés in 1913, according to the annual report of James Dalrymple, state coal mine inspector. There were 75 killed and 356 injured, giving an average of 33.6 men injured per 1,000 employés. The number of men employed in the mines was 10,536. Of the accidents 71 were underground and 4 on the surface. These accidents made 40 women widows and 92 children fatherless. Thirty-five of the men killed were single. Over half of the fatal accidents—38—were caused by falls of rock and coal. Eighteen were caused by mine cars and motors, 5 by electricity, 3 by electric mining machinery and 11 by other causes. The amount of coal mined compared with that mined during 1913 showed a decrease of 1,067,516 tons. The total production was 8,201,423 tons. Among the causes ascribed for the decrease are the European war, the Mexican war, the coal strike and the exceedingly mild fall and winter. Four mines were closed because of unsafe and unsanitary conditions. In prosecutions for violations of the law five miners were found guilty and five operators. There were 538 non-fatal accidents reported to the department. The tons of coal produced per fatal accident increased from 84,263 in 1913 to 109,352 in 1914. "Generally speaking," Mr. Dalrymple says, "the conditions of the mines have very much improved. This is especially true of Boulder and Weld counties, where great improvements have been made, especially from a sanitary standpoint." Routt county showed the largest increase of production—323,312 tons—producing altogether 655,878 tons. Entertain Chicago Mayor and Party.

Julius Williams writes in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald as follows: "In the message sent out by the governor of our great state, he said, 'Let us save the white boy and girl by stamping out ignorance.' Did he mean that we infer that he meant, to not overlook the fact that their salvation depended largely upon the extent of consideration given 400,000 Negroes of school age in this state? "Two races cannot live in the same state, under the same law, enjoying the same pursuits of happiness and life, if one race's interests are advanced at the sacrifice of the other. "Our state superintendent of education has not as yet found time to say much in behalf of the Negro children. "Our county superintendents have not spoken out in loud tones; maybe after a while they will be heard from." "When we think of it, we are not pleasantly reminded; the education of my people started at the head but not at the foot, because it is at the bottom of life's ladder one must begin life's journey. We were first taught to make a living, when our first lesson should have been to make a life." Here is the remarkably practical and workable suggestion of this man who so feelingly writes of his race. This matter should come to the attention of every man, woman and child in the state: "If in every home where my people are employed as servants they are given one-half hour—even a quarter of an hour—each day by the third or fourth grade child in that home teaching these servants to spell, read and write their own names, what a great school we would have through this medium for the Negro, and how much it would mean to your children. Many of the cooks live in the yard and not a few have children. In spite of all you do, your children will learn from them by association. "What is true of your cook and children is true of your washerwoman and children, nurse and children, your driver and children, and even the men, women and children of my race that pass your home. Your children going on the street to and fro from school in this way form habits through observation. "Will it pay? Will it be worth while striking out ignorance among the 400,-000 in our state? "We need more laws of human kindness and less laws of civil punishment." We cannot but realize the justice of this man's plea; we know when the Negro woman has been properly educated, as is being done in a comparatively small way by the institutions of learning for the Negro in this state; the tired mother may not be subjected to the diet of underdone or overdone food, the child will not so often be the victim of disease and careless nursing, through the companionship of an ignorant nurse maid. Because the South still considers the Negro in the light of a domestic necessity, the occupation of house servant becomes their vocation. If we desire efficiency in our Negro help we must at least grant them education along the lines of work they have been placed in. Fire losses and the expense of fire prevention cost the United States more each year than the total value of its production of gold, silver, copper and petroleum. the fifteenth anniversary of the founding of the Negro Business league, of which Booker T. Washington is president, will be celebrated in Boston August 18 to 20. The organization was formed for the discussion and solution of business and economic problems peculiar to the Negro race. The coming sessions will be devoted to a consideration of the progress made since 1900 and to practical suggestions for new business methods and for general co-operation. According to figures compiled by the league, since 1900 the number of Negro business enterprises in the country has increased from 20,000 to 45,000; the number of Negro banks from 2 to 51; the number of drug stores from 250 to 695; Negro-owned undertaking establishments from 450 to 1,000; wholesale businesses from 149 to 240; retail stores from 10,000 to 25,000. Since the organization of the league, as revealed by the federal census for 1910, farm property owned by Negroes has increased 177 per cent in value—from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. The value of domestic The list of the British and Foreign Bible society at the present time includes versions in 456 tongues—the complete Bible in 112 languages, the New Testament in 111 more, and at least one book of Scripture in 233 other languages. Many public bequests are contained in the will of William H. Swasey of Newburyport, which was filed at Salem. Among them is one of $10,000 to the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial school. The fact brought out by Dr. William C. Woodward, health officer of Washington, D. C., before a Negro health conference in New Orleans, that the high death rate among Negroes is not wholly due to hygienic conditions, but to racial ones as well, serves only to increase the concern with which the entire subject is being viewed. The Negroes, according to this authority, are, for physical and racial reasons, not so well prepared as the whites for the conditions of climate and mode of life in this country. To add the handicap of the racially unfit to the already heavy burden shouldered by the Negro is to increase the load of responsibility for the white man. When Houston, Atlanta, New Orleans and other large southern cities began to investigate the sanitary and living conditions in their Negro quarters recently the communities were shocked at the revelation. In a state of segregation the thing would have been bad enough. But colored nurses, cooks and servants of the white people lived amid these conditions and came daily from them to wash, dress and nurse the children of white people, serve their meals and clean their houses. This fact, needless to say, struck residents of those cities with considerable force. Protests had been made to the census bureau for not separating the whites and blacks in the mortality figures for southern cities, the contention being that the high rate was unfair to charge against the white people. But after the first flush of indignation wore away and people gave the subject sober second thought it was realized that perhaps the white people were in part responsible for the high death rate among Negroes, inasmuch as they had done little or nothing to decrease the figure. The determined effort on the part of the white man to know in broader terms the life of the southern Negro has been remarked by Dr. W. D. Weatherford of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. "This is no morbid curiosity," he said at Memphis last spring, "nor is it a passing fad. There are fewer magazine articles, perhaps, and less agitation, but a book written by a southern woman passed the 20,000 mark within eighteen months after its publication, which is a marvelous sale for any book dealing with a social problem. I make bold to say that there have been more volumes on the Negro read by southern whites in the last five years than were read in all the 50 years preceding." This same authority cited also the determination by the best element in the South to share in the religious and social improvement of the Negro race. Farm demonstration agents are helping from one to a dozen Negroes to become better farmers. County superintendents throughout the South are holding institutes for colored people with much thoroughness and enthusiasm and visiting Negro schools as never before. A wounded soldier who was operated on in Paris was found to have suffered from 68 separate wounds. Most of them were from bullets and pieces of shell. A remarkable fact is that the man will probably recover. With English engineers doing the work, the Russian city of Baku will obtain a new water supply from mountains 120 miles distant. animals from $85,216,337 to $177,275,785, or 107 per cent; poultry from $3,788,792 to $5,113,756, or 36 per cent; implements and machinery from $18,586,225 to $36,861,418, or 98 per cent; land and buildings from $69,636,420 to $273,501,665, or 293 per cent. Officers of several affiliated organizations, among which are the National Negro Press association, the National Negro Bankers' association, the National Negro Funeral Directors' association, the National Negro Bar association and the National Association of Negro Insurance Men, will tell the members of the league the results attained in their several lines. Besides the business meetings a social program is being arranged. A special train will carry the Southern members of the league to Boston, and arrangements are being made for other trains to bring delegates from Chicago and further west. Emmett J. Scott of Tuskegee, Ala., is in charge of these details. A Paris scientist is trying to collect phonograph records of all forms of speech. The amount of whisky distilled in Kentucky fell off two-thirds last year, the decrease in Pennsylvania was 33 per cent and that in Maryland more than 40 per cent. Prohibitionists say that since whisky is kept from four to eight years before consumption, a corresponding decrease in usage is expected in that length of time. Cape Cod, the peninsula of Massachusetts, is no longer a cape. It has been made an island by the completion of the Cape Cod canal. WOMAN DEFENDS EX-CONVICT WHO KILLED HER HUSBAND. Emma Wallace Tells Coroner Mate Was Jealous of Archie Briscoe and Was Shot in Duel. Denver.—"I said I would stand by Briscoe—and that's what I intend to do," was the statement made before a coroner's jury by Mrs. Emma Wallace, whose husband, according to the jury's verdict, came to his death as the result of a bullet fired into his body by Archie Briscoe, an ex-convict. Frederick Wallace, a truck gardener, was shot after ordering Briscoe from his home near Shaffer's Crossing. While being brought to Denver he declared that Briscoe had waited outside and when he started for the barn in the rear of his home, Briscoe opened fire with a rifle. Wallace died at St. Anthony's hospital. "Wallace," Sheriff Dennis of Jefferson county testified, "returned to Shaffer's Crossing from Denver, after being absent three days, and found Briscoe in his home. A quarrel started and Briscoe left. About 11 o'clock that night Wallace started for his barn with a lantern and was shot down. "Briscoe on the following day, when we were taking Wallace to Denver, said to me, 'I hope the poor devil doesn't die. That's what wine and women do for men.'" Wallace told the police before he died that he had had trouble with Briscoe frequently because of the latter's attentions to his wife. Mrs. Wallace, in her testimony before the coroner's jury, declared that the trouble was due to her husband's jealousy, for which he had no reason. She asserted that her husband had "picked" a quarrel with Briscoe on the belief that Briscoe had been responsible for his arrest some time before for bootlegging. Wallace had said that he was armed with a revolver, but had no opportunity to defend himself. Mrs. Wallace said she saw an exchange of shots between Briscoe and her husband. Briscoe was sentenced to the penitentiary in 1899 on the charge of stabbing a man to death. Although the shooting of Wallace occurred in Jefferson county the inquest was held in Denver, because Wallace died here. The jury found that Briscoe shot Wallace with faintious intent. $50,000 Loss by Hail. Colorado Springs.—Damage estimated at $50,000 was caused here Sunday when a heavy hail storm, sweeping east from the mountains, paralyzed street traffic, broke windows and skylights and wrecked the street lighting system of the city. The hail followed heavy rains throughout the day. So heavy was the fall that automobile tops were broken through, street cars were forced to halt and great plate glass windows in stores were demolished. Every pane of glass in many lamp posts were broken into fragments, making a loss to the electric light company of more than $3,000. Skylights crashed in from the weight of the hail. Every greenhouse in the city was demolished. Grand Valley Peaches Ripe. Grand Junction.—The first peaches are on the market in Grand Valley, with the fading away of the apricot crop, which was larger than had been anticipated. The Snead and Alexander peaches are coming rapidly and soon the Mountain Rose and many other varieties will be ready for shipment. Elbertas will be a week or ten days later than usual this year, due to the cold weather so late in the spring. Barela Says, Hammered by Worker. Trinidad.—State Senator Casimiro Barela has sworn out a warrant for assault against Peter Greening, a carpenter he had employed on his ranch four miles east of Trinidad. The aged senator charges that Greening hit him on the head with a hammer when he took exception to the length of time Greening extracted from his day's work as a luncheon recess. Rancher Run Down by Taxi. Pueblo—W. H. Looper, 76, a pioneer ranchman of Pueblo county, was in jured seriously when he stepped off the curb at Fourth and Main streets directly in the path of an approaching taxicab. The machine, driven by Howard Cary, could not be stopped in time to save him and he was run over. Loveland Boy Shot Through Body. Loveland.—George Shaffer, 14, was accidentally shot while hunting with George Holzer on a farm east of the city. A b:illet from a. 22-caliber rifle penetrated the boy's intestines, going clear through his body. Strikers' Cases Set for August 23. Boulder.—Judge Neil P.

IS FINAL STATEMENT KAISER TOLD HE HAS ADMITTED THAT SUBMARINE WARFARE IS ILLEGAL Western Newspaper Union News Service. WAR SITUATION IN BRIEF. EAST FRONT—Russians are making desperate stand before gates of Warsaw in attempt to repel German forces from Polish capital. WEST FRONT—French make new attack in Vosges, while fleet of alarms or bards important junction of Conflans, dropping many shells DIFLOMACY—President Wilson to send Germany ultimatum or note with warning of "unfriendly" act if more Americans are killed. Washington, July 22.—President Wilson and Secretary Lansing, conferring at the White House last night, completed the new note to Germany, warning her that the repetition of a disaster such as that visited upon the Lusitania or any violation of American rights on the high seas resulting in loss of American lives will be regarded as "unfriendly." The note is in the nature of a final statement by the United States of the interpretation that will be placed by this government on future transgressions of American rights, and repeats that the American government will leave nothing undone to stand by the position it has previously declared. Among the points in the new note are: 1—The assumption by the United States that Germany, by declaring her submarine warfare to be a retaliatory measure against the alleged unlawful acts of her enemies, has admitted that the destruction of unresisting merchantmen without warning is illegal 2—German submarine commanders already have proved that they can save the passengers and crews of vessels and can act in conformity with the laws of humanity in making war on enemy ships. 3—The United States cannot allow the relations between the belligerents to operate in any way as an abbreviation of the rights of neutrals, and therefore any violation of the principles for which the American government contends, resulting in a loss of American lives, will be viewed as "unfriendly." 4—The representations which the American government has made in previous notes for disavowal of the intention to sink the Lusitania with Americans aboard and the request for reparation are reiterated with renewed insistence. 5—The American government realizes the unusual and abnormal conditions which the present conflict has created in the conduct of maritime war and is willing to act as an intermediary as between the belligerents to arrange a modus vivendi or any other temporary arrangements which do not involve a surrender by the United States of its rights. 6--The proposals made by Germany to give immunity to American ships not carrying contraband, and to four belligerent ships under the American flag, are rejected with the emphatic assertion that to accept such suggestion would be to admit Germany's right to set aside the American contention based on fundamental principles in international law--that neutrals may travel anywhere on the high seas on unresisting ships of any nationality even if carrying contraband. The note is about 1,200 words long. While nowhere in it is there any direct intimation of the course which the United States will pursue in the event of another disaster similar to the Lusatania tragedy, there are emphatic statements throughout the communication pointing out that the discussion of the principles involved has been virtually concluded and that future conduct of German submarine commanders will determine the responsibility for the friendly relations between the two countries. The statement that future transgressions will be regarded as "unfriendly" is taken in diplomatic usage to presage a break of friendly relations unless reparation and disavowal is forthcoming. Daylight Bandits Kill Loan Man. Denver.—Lured to the rear of his store in a robbery plot, which in daring and savagery is considered without parallel in Denver's history, Isaac Solomon, 70. Denver's richest pawnbroker, was fatally beaten with a hammer at 1631 Larimer street by thieves who escaped with diamonds and jewelry valued at about $12,000. Fires Follow Riots at New Jersey Standard Oil Plant. New York, July 22.—Quiet prevailed last night at the Bayonne plant of the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey where earlier in the day a riot between police and strikers resulted in the death of one striker and the injury of a police inspector, four patrolmen and nearly 100 strikers. The only excitement was the discovery of four small fires within the plant, which were easily controlled.

We are proud of our beautiful city, which is admired for its cleanliness and intelligent population, this is the verdict rendered by its hosts of annual visitors. The only unfavorable comment heard is its loose enforcements of its Municipal regulations, governing saloons and brothels, and neglect to close the dives. We need no new laws to regulate the mid-night closing of saloons and to avoid Sabbath desecration. But as the law is now regulating the Iliquor traffic is about to be enforced by an order issued from the City Hall, to put the lid on—and to keep it on. It is hoped that this will mean just what it says and carried out to the letter. The Police Department can rest assured that the decent and respectable people approve this important step; they realize the fact that it is difficult to please all classes, but enforce the laws as they now stand, that is the plain duty. It will render legal restraints unnecessary. A firm and impartial enforcement of the law will rid the community of a large number of worthless persons who exist only by the grace of our police department. Gambling in its various forms is prohibited by both state laws and by our city ordinances. If the commission form of government is to live, the commissioners must realize the fact that the people are determined to have the law enforced, as they now exist without favor, and those who are opposed to law had just as well to make up their minds to be decent or seek other fields. BE ON GUARD. As Americans we have prided ourselves as being law abiding citizens, claiming that we have a government of the people, by the people and for the people. This ideal is being ruthlessly shattered in these days of political, commercial and social upheaval. It seems that we are today losing reverence for our Gods, "prosperity and the voice of the majority," a reverance which has thus far kept the United States the most democratic and conservative republic, that we no longer worship "a popular majority" is proved here in Denver, where the Courts are resorted to in order to disprove the fact. The spirit of true republicanism is being distorted by the political machines. The labor unions now comes out as a political factor, as opposed to capitalistic domination; its chief object seems to be to fight capital. Wherever they have succeeded capital is shy and when capital became shy conditions became depressing. Then spring the Socialists with their ideas of throwing over board both the Unions and capital and take the reins of government into their own hand, where neither unions nor capital will be needed, as each man will get what he earns. Of course he will earn nothing for there will be no pay-day. In speaking of capital and labor unions, they have both branched out and are now no longer confined to mere industrialism, but to every branch where capital is required and the other to dictate the price of wages that shall be paid. These two great trusts have their representatives in every legislative branch of our government—for what purpose? Why to see that no laws are enacted that will interfere with their special interest, although these interests may endanger the welfare of a large majority of the people. In order to stay the advance of socialism, we must be on guard and watch the fake reformers, for it is through our indifferences heretofore that has permitted so many of these reform measures to become laws, that we now find ourselves bound both hand and foot. Let us be on Guard. COMMISSIONER NISBET'S INTREPIDITY. It can clearly be seen that the Commissioner of Safety does not intend to be governed by threat either from newspapers, a part of the people or even his fellow commissioners, by his undaunted action in appointing Glenn Duffield as Chief of Denver Police Department. He feels he is within the boundaries of the law which gives certain powers to the commissioners in their respective departments and therefore acting as he does there seems to be no chance for logical interference by any agency unless the commissioner commits himself by excessive use of his office or contravention of the statutes governing the commission form of government. It seems very strange to us when we think of all this sensation brought about by a few individuals in their attempt to not only question the commissioners in the use of their prerogatives, but who go so far as to dictate their very actions, which, if the officials yielded to would certainly make a huge joke out of our municipal authorities as well as expose our city government to ridicule and derision from other cities. If really we have at heart in the development and improvement of Denver, why should we be endeavoring to heap more obstructions before our civic body besides their already troublesome pathway. It is apparent that there is an undercurrent, a sinister motive underlying all these attempts and the sooner they are brought to the surface, exposed and threshed out, the better for the life and decency of our community. But last fall the attempt to recall Nisbet miserably failed; recently, grave charges against him and his staff formed the basis of an investigation which resulted in honorable acquittal; again he was accredited with supporting selfish and private interests to the detriment of the peace, order and good of the city government—this also had a terrible death, and now in the exercise of his duty in calling upon the late Chief of Police O'Neill, to tender his resignation for reasons which he thought warranted his action, the Commissioner of Safety must be treated as an underling, a man unfit and unworthy of the position given him twice by the people. We fail to see the fairness of this action by certain elements among us, and we cannot help from endorsing Commissioner Greenlee and the other members of the Council in allowing each head of the respective departments to exercise their power judiciously in the carrying out of anything advantageous to the people. What a state of affairs would exist if every warrantable action of the Commissioners would be hampered by outside influences, then they would be classed as nothing but figureheads and dummies. The fearlessness of the Commissioner puts him on a high plane with the majority of the people, and all his appointee has to do is to make a success or he too will share the fate of his predecessor. Some may say this and others may say that, but Alexander Nisbet is the man with the chat. True Living in Days of Present By Charles R. Hobart, Kansas City, Mo. Prepare to live by all means, but for heaven's sake do not forget to live. You will never have a better chance than you possess at this moment. You may think a larger opportunity will come to you later, but you are mistaken. Any future larger opportunity is gained only by truly living in the days of the present. Think! Use your God-given gray matter or you allow it to corrode and evolve into a ne'er-do-well. Solve your own problems, make your own plans and then don't be too lazy to apply them. It's your job to find your niche, your vocation, some work you may like and are sure will like you, but never for the money there is in it. The law of remuneration takes care of that if you fit your life occupation. It pays to be happy in the earnest playing of your part on the stage of life. There is no understudy to take your place. It's for you alone to do the acting, and all the while. Consciously live, making the most of every spare hour. Desire to grow mentally and spiritually. Meditate on the way to it through your work and your recreations, physical and mental. Your life will become lopsided if the pleasures which your conscience allows are postponed till you have fulfilled ambitious desire. Soon ambition will make you its slave and then forever good-by to the open mind and its happiness. Its road carries you into a narrowing sphere of life, resulting in mere human machines, whose bearings soon become worn and loose for want of the oil of whole-souled living. Hear the wail of souls in the markets of the world's commerce, in the cruel slavery of that hardest of taskmasters, ambition for worldly honor and gain. What a price to pay for a closed mind and a chained soul! When will the eyes of humanity be opened to the worldwide swath that false ambition has mown down to misery throughout the centuries? Why do men imprison themselves in a keyless house of slavery? Live your life fully. Be free. Why should what the distorted vision of the world counts gain hold you back? Should wisdom of action give way to custom and mere form? Should we fail to make the best of our inner lives because of what people will say? More "Failures at 40" Than Ever Before By G. O. REED, Terre Haute, Ind. What chance of success has a man after he reaches the age of forty? In the last few months any observant person who has come in contact with the "down-and-outs" has More "Failures at 40" Than Ever Before By G. O. REED, Terre Haute, Ind. What chance of success has a man after he reaches the age of forty? In the last few months any observant person who has come in contact with the "down-and-outs" has seen more "failures at forty" than ever before. I refer particularly to the men who have been out of employment for months and who were never idle before for more than a week or two in each year. Those who haven't found it necessary to hunt up another job in order to exist will never know the heartaches resulting from such an experience. It is a hateful predicament to be in even when industrial conditions are at their best. I have met many men of middle age in the last few months who were out of work through no fault of their own, and who would have been glad to accept even a menial position if it were possible to get one. In this day of hustle employers are calling for the younger men. Youth is a great factor nowadays in the commercial world for turning out a "good day's work," and a man at middle age gets scant attention when applying for a situation, regardless of his ability or experience. The laborer that is worthy of his hire in this generation must be able to produce abundantly. He is merely a "cog in the wheel" of the great industrial system. I have heard of cases wherein men have made good after forty years of age who before were comparative failures, but they are few, and most of them were prisoners in their respective lines of endeavor. What chance has a failure at forty? The mother is the real doctor of the family. This does not mean she can cure diseases or should try her hand at doing so. It does mean, however, that she can very largely prevent Mother Can Largely Prevent Diseases By F. G. Andersen, Philadelphia, Pa. The mother is the real doctor of the family. This does not mean she can cure diseases or should try her hand at doing so. It does mean, however, that she can very largely prevent them, which is a much easier task and has no magic about it except daily attention to the rules of cleanliness. Doctor Hygiene, in one word, means keeping clean. It is one of the happiest signs of these times that the best aids science can give are brought to the door of the humblest home. But cleanliness does not mean merely washing a child's face and hands. It must go in downright fashion all through its habits and surroundings. It means clean air, clean food, clean clothing, clean things to handle with its deft and busy fingers. It means a house so cleanly from top to bottom that a youngster will find it the hardest job imaginable to get his "peck of dirt." It is no longer a sign of genius that a child can make mud pies in the gutter. No mother wishes to see her children pale, puny, weak and ailing. She has genuine pride in seeing them with eyes bright as daisies and brimming over with mischievous laughter. They can have limbs clean as a filbert and the soul of a sunbeam in their gaze. The scientists who have swept whole territories free of dread plagues by sanitation tell what is good for a continent is good for the household. Dreaded Rat as Carrier of Disease By PHILIP HALLER, New York To stamp out a disease either contagious or infectious to mankind or stock, I agree that no expense or value should be spared in order to arrive at a result without any loss of time. Dreaded Rat as Carrier of Disease By PHILIP HALLER, New York but it seems to me rather a one-sided affair that not only valuable stock but also domestic pets of every description should be sacrificed, whereas nothing is said about the much-dreaded rat, which has been known for years as a disease carrier of the deepest dye. Nothing is definitely known as to how the hoof-and-mouth disease is spread from one farm to another. It will appear quite mysteriously at a distant line farm and leave the nearer line one perfectly alone, as if it did not exist, and because perhaps one of the disease carriers might be among their number the deputies give orders to slaughter not only valuable stock but also to kill domestic pets. The authorities should make it compulsory that all rats and even mice in all the infected farms and all farms in the same districts where the disease has not yet appeared be destroyed immediately and the runs and holes of these animals thoroughly disinfected. The strong and drastic measures now adopted by the authorities could be in many cases avoided and valuable stock and the lives of our pets spared.

The pastor filled the rostrum at both services last Sunday and evidently spoke to the entire satisfaction of two deeply interested audiences. The subject dealt with in the morning was, "Security," and at night, "Every Man In His Place." The lessons presented were both illuminating and helpful, giving encouragement and strength to the weak and pointing out clearly the path to those who would follow Christ. Four persons were received to the membership. On the first Sunday in August we will be favored by a visit from Mrs. W. S. Layten, president of the Women's Auxiliary to the National Convention. Mrs. Layten is one of the most talented women of the race and a leader of the religious activities of the women of this nation. She will occupy the rostrum at the morning service on that day and will likely address a woman's mass meeting in the afternoon. Every woman in the race should hear her. Further announcements will be made next week. Zion's Sunday School is the most thoroughly equipped and progressive organization of its kind in the West. Largest enrollment, all the departments and a trained teaching force make it an institution where your boys and girls get the best. Visitors to the city will get a cordial welcome to one of the largest, finest and most thoroughly organized plants for Christian service controlled by the race in this country. The Bible Class work of Zion is the most noteworthy activity of the sort in the city. The men's class, in its sixth year, meets every Tuesday night. Every man welcomed generally comes again. The class for ladies meets Thursday afternoon at 2:30. Visitors are asked to spend an interesting and pleasant hour. ESTES PARK NEWS. Mrs. Williams and Miss Susie Harrington of Kansas City are recent arrivals, intending to remain for the season with the family of J. F.

She is delighted with the surrounding sceneries and hopes to remain for a while. Mrs. Mandy Brown of Denver, Colo., is here for the season. She says its a relief to get away from Denver's present hot days. Miss Hudson of Boulder arrived last Tuesday with the Butcher's family and after spending a few days of pleasantness leaves today. Mrs. Roper was summoned from Boulder to accept a position with a family who intends to remain for the season. Mrs. Thomas of Chicago and Miss Bessie Mash of Des Moines, Iowa, are employed at the Brown Tea Pot Inn. They are infatuated with the mountain sceneries. Services were conducted by the Rev. Forrester of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Boulder, he having changed with the Rev. Montgomery for the day. The discourse was very impressive and the message must have found lodgment in the hearts of the worshippers. Deputy Sheriff and President of the Holdover Association, Curtis H., resolves that all applicants must pass his way to get permission to fish, visit or get acquainted with the fair damsels of the park who are arriving in great numbers. STANLEY HOTEL FLASHES AND SPARKS. A. Peyton and Miss Sackerford had a lovely ride to Devil's Gulch and returned with a bunch of Columbines, on horseback. They looked a fine pair of good and true sports. Although the season has not yet shown its brilliancy financially, the boys have formed a self-help society, Marshall Coates, president; Willard Childress, Sec.-Treas. The boys with one accord herald the chef as belonging to a particular class and type of appetite satisfier. He gave them one of his best last Monday at luncheon. The dish was of such a high-class nature that inquiries were made as to its name, when the noted provider replied: "It was the Consis-qualities de irrectitude, complex de compounde ashe." The chef intends to put this on every Monday as he thinks the boys appreciate it highly. The Stanley Trio, consisting of Mrs. Jessie Dower Eaton, Piano, and Messrs. Antonio Garardi and Marco Peyrot, Violin and Violin-cello, rendered a beautiful program to a large audience in the spacious parlor and reception room of the hotel, Sunday last. The program, consisting of popular overtures and operatic selections, was very much appreciated from the numerous encores and applauses of the audience. This trio ranks among the leading of the country. It halls from Boston, our "home of music."

EASY WAYS TO AVOID WASTE Many Methods by Which the "Left-Overs" May Be Converted Into Appetizing Dishes. Of course, in using "left-overs" something new must be added. Tough steak may be finely chopped, seasoned with salt, pepper and onions, and fried in little cakes. A nice stew can be made of the pieces of cold beef. Cut them in small pieces and cover with water, boll till tender, add an onion, carrot, potatoes, a little turnip, a spoonful of rice, pepper and salt. Serve with slices of toasted bread. Scraps of veal, mutton, lamb or lean pork, alone or all together, make a fine meat pie, or, finely chopped up, may be heated in tomato sauce. Remnants of fowl of any kind can be served with cream sauce; hashed with a dash of mustard and served on toast; used as sandwiches. The bones of fowl slowly simmered in water for a long time give the foundation for a rich soup. Chop pieces of cold ham finely, season with onion and mustard and use for sandwiches, with scrambled eggs or in hash. Horseradish makes a good seasoning for this. Cold potatoes may be fried, mashed, creamed and used in salads. Other vegetables may be used in hash or stews, or as a vegetable salad. Cold beans and corn warmed up in milk make a fine succotash. Cold rice can be made into a pudding or used in muffins and griddle cakes. Make hash and balls with left-over fish. Chop cold oysters finely and add to poultry dressing. Dry and pound all stale bread and use for rolling croquettes and fish in. Fry cold omeal* or wheat in butter and serve with cream and sugar. "Waste not, want not," is the motto which should be hung in every kitchen; every kind of food left over can be utilized in some way. MAXIMS FOR HOUSEWIVES Don't forget to close the refrigerator door each time you use the box; the ice will last much longer. If the aluminum cooking utensils turn black, try boiling tomato pairings in them and they will brighten. It is best not to serve the same dish twice a week unless it be a vegetable, as everyone likes a variety. The bone should be left in a roast; it will help to keep the juice and will add flavor and sweetness. To clean finger marks on doors, rub with a piece of flannel dipped in kerosene oil. The marks will disappear like magic. Afterward wipe with a clean cloth wrung out of hot water to take away the smell, as it does not destroy the paint. Paraffin oil is also excellent for cleaning varnished ball doors. Kumiss. This dish is of great value in the sickroom, as it is one form in which milk seldom fails to be retained by the patient. Kumiss made at home in the following way is most satisfactory: Heat one quart of milk to 75 degrees Fahrenheit, add one and one-half tablespoonfuls of sugar and one-fourth of a yeast cake broken in pieces and dissolved in one tablespoonful of lukewarm water. Fill sterilized bottles to within one and one-half inches of the top. Cork and shake. Place bottles, inverted, where they can remain at a temperature of 70 degrees Fahrenheit for ten hours; then place in icebox for forty-eight hours, shaking occasionally to prevent cream from clogging mouth of bottles.—Woman's Home Companion. Southern Biscuits Sift together two cupfuls of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, and a heaping teaspoonful of baking powder. Then rub in a tablespoonful of lard. When the flour looks like meal, stir into it the white of one egg beaten to a stiff froth, and mix with a cupful of milk. Beat with a spoon, then turn out on a floured board and knead very lightly. Roll out about one-fourth of an inch thick, brush with melted butter and fold. Press together lightly, but do not roll again. Cut in small rounds and bake in a very quick oven. Codfish and Cheese. Soak a pound of codfish six hours in tepid water, then let it come to a boil. When cold, pick into flakes with a fork and season with pepper. Heat a cupful of milk to a boil, stir into it a teaspoonful of butter rolled in two of prepared flour. Mix with the picked fish and pour into a baking dish. Strew grated cheese thickly on top and bake in a quick oven to a delicate brown. It is yet nicer if you add a raw egg before cooking it. Something real new. Sausage Bundles. Roll out plain paste in six-inch squares, rather thin. Cut frankfurt sausages in thin slices, rejecting the skin, and lay the slices in two rows in the center of the piece of paste; double, pinch ends together and fold as you would do up a bundle, wetting the edges to make them stick; then set away on ice until ready to bake. Bake in hot oven 15 minutes and serve hot with French or German mustard. Minced Lamb. Mince the lamb not too fine, and salt, pepper, a drop or so of onion juice. Put on the spider with a teaspoonful of butter, teaspoonful flour, milk enough to moisten. Cook only a few minutes. Serve on slices of buttered toast. THE INWARD VOICE By DOROTHY ALLEN. Rev. Aloysius Brown was very busy as he stooped over his asters. They had come up splendidly from seed, and he was wondering whether it was time to transplant them when he heard girls' voices upon the porch of his house. "What a pity the new curate isn't in!" said one of them, Miss Margery Bowon, the daughter of the wealthiest of his parishioners. "I did so want to get him on the new committee this morning." "And I wanted to see him too," said the other voice. Reverend Aloysius was so struck by the quality of the tone that he peeped round the edge of the house, which was uncurately, but perhaps pardonable in a young man of five and twenty. And when he had looked the curate did not repent in the least, for he saw the prettiest girl who had ever come within the range of his vision. "Why, I thought you just came with me, Maud!" exclaimed Miss Bowen. "Listen, dear," said the second girl, in whom the curate now recognized Miss Maud Anderson, the beauty of the village. "Mr. Friend, the rector, was telling mamma the other day that Mr. Brown is a very impressionable young man. And so I am determined to impress him. I haven't had a proposal this year. Margery." "O, Maud!" exclaimed the other in awe. "You are never going to practice on the new curate? Leave the poor man alone!" "It will do him good, Margery," answered Miss Anderson. "And I am working on a pair of slippers for him now, so you can see that my mind is fully made up." Reverend Aloysius, overcome with shame, retreated hastily to the safe shelter of the tool house, from which he watched the girls depart down the street. To be forewarned is to be forearmed, and the curate resolved to anticipate Miss Anderson's intentions. Accordingly he set to work to countermine the enemy's approaches. The popularity of the new curate was soon assured. All the girls of Freeport vied with each other for his company, but it was soon obvious that Miss Anderson and the curate were devoted to one another. In fact, had the curate not been so obviously sim- B. Watched the Girl Depart Down the Street. ple-minded, the situation would have become scandalous. They were seen walking together, and once the curate drove Miss Anderson to the church committee meeting. Reverend Aloysius, always on his guard, felt, nevertheless, that if he had not been warned so providentially he would have fallen a victim. Miss Anderson was a girl of character and mind, as well as of beauty. Finally, he began to realize that he had almost fallen into the trap which had been laid for him. It was a warm July afternoon when the two sat side by side outside Mrs. Anderson's house. A humming bird was ditting among the flowers, there was a sense of mellow peacefulness in the air; everything seemed to indicate that the crucial moment had arrived. Miss Anderson's little hand lay invitingly upon her lap. The curate took it. "Don't you wear rings, Miss Anderson?" he inquired, smiling. "Not on that finger, Mr. Brown," answered the girl, blushing with confusion as she realized that he was holding the engagement ring finger. Reverend Aloysius slipped his hand into his pocket and pulled out a diamond solitaire. The girl looked at it and her eyes sparkled. "I bought this," said the curate, "for the girl I hope to marry. I haven't told her yet. Do you consider that a rash speculation, Miss Anderson?" "Indeed, you know the proverb, 'None but the brave deserves the fair,'" replied the girl. "I am going to risk telling her the next time I have a chance," said the curate. "I value your confidence, Miss Anderson, more than I can say. I don't believe I should have mustered up courage to speak to her if you hadn't encouraged me. I hope you two will be the best of friends." And, raising his hat, he went away, leaving Miss Anderson gasping with The KITCHEN CABINET Whatever gifts the hour bestow, or great or small, I would not measure As worth a certain price in praise, but take them all It is surprising how little the ordinary housekeeper appreciates the zestful garlic. One reason why it has fallen into disrepute is because the brown-eyed brothers from the South are so apt to overindulge in its use. A whiff of garlic-laden breath is not enjoyable; but a small clove of the delectable flavor put into nearly all meat dishes and many salads improves the dish immeasurably. The flavor is so elusive that when used as the French do, a mere "soup-con" is indescribably good. A clove of garlic, cut in halves, and a piece the size of a pea, put in soups or meat dishes will be sufficient. When serving lettuce salad in the bowl at the table, rub the inside of the bowl with a clove of garlic cut in halves, or rub a small piece of bread with it and let it lie in the bottom of the bowl. Before broiling a steak, rub it all over, fat and all, with a cut clove of garlic, then broil and serve with generous dots of butter, and note the delight of those fortunate enough to have one so served. If you have a family that turns up its nose at onions, the most wholesome of all vegetables, season with garlic and be able to say with a clear conscience that "there is absolutely no onion in this dish." The finicky one would probably faint away if told the flavor was garlic, so it is not always best to inform the family on all culinary secrets. A pot roast with a clove of garlic, finely chopped, added to the roast when it is browning, then cover closely and without water set into a hot oven to roast until tender, makes life worth living. Many of the delicious canned goods that are so well flavored have the bit of garlic in them which makes them so tasty. A piece too small to notice dropped into soup will add to its flavor. Added to a roast or fried chicken enhances the flavor. In fact, nearly any meat or vegetable dish is improved by a touch of it. When making boiled dressing, if one likes to have a green one, put cooked sifted peas through a sieve and add to the dressing; the flavor will be good and the color will make an attractive dressing. Lamb Stew With Peas —Cut the meat in small pieces, put in a stew pan with a few slices of salt pork sliced thin; brown, then add water to cover. Cook slowly until the meat is tender, then add a can of peas and more hot water, if needed. Thicken with flour and butter, well creamed together, and serve after cooking the flour. Pea Souffle.—Cook a pint of peas until soft, put them through a sieve, add two tablespoonfuls of butter and one pint of milk, into which the yolks of three eggs have been beaten. Mix thoroughly, season with salt and pepper. Beat the whites of the eggs and fold into the mixture. Pour into a buttered dish and bake twenty minutes. Salmon and Pea Salad.—Flake a can of salmon, removing the skin and bones. Drain a can of peas or an equal amount of cooked peas and mix with the salmon. Serve on lettuce with a boiled dressing and sour pickles, chopped in bits, for a garnish. Tomato and Pea Soup.—Heat together a cupful each of peas and tomatoes, press through a sieve and add to a quart of seasoned stock. When boiling add two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch, blended with the same amount of butter, stir into the hot soup. Simmer ten minutes and add salt, pepper and half a cupful of peas. Serve hot with crackers. Pea soup, because so rich in food value, should never precede a heavy dinner. Peas and Peppers.—Cut the tops from half a dozen peppers, remove the seeds and soak in strong brine several hours. Moisten with liquor from the peas and fill the shells with a mixture of one-half cupful of chopped meat, one cupful of drained peas, a half cupful of bread crumbs, onion juice, salt and pepper to taste.

Fay—A diamond sunburst old Rich gave me and a bunch of his love letters. humiliation and mortification upon the stoop. The girl could not conceal her agitation. She ran into the house, and, flinging herself on her bed, gave way to angry tears. She would never speak to the curate again! She would leave the village! She had been deliberately mocked, her love scorned. The girl had quite forgotten her light railway with her friend upon that occasion. She had come to feel a deep regard for the young curate. In the room which he occupied in the rector's house Rev. Aloysius Brown flung himself down heavily into his chair. Somehow revenge did not taste as sweet as he had imagined it would. And then, he was conscious that he had acted in an unchristian manner. "Go to her and ask her pardon," said the curate's conscience. "But I shall make myself a laughing-stock," urged the curate. "All the better. It is your duty to make atonement. She knew it was done deliberately and that you weren't so simple as you pretended to be," said conscience. "Go to the Bahamas," answered the curate. "Thanks, but I prefer to remain with you," rejoined the curate's conscience. Quietly the curate rose up and went back to Mrs. Anderson's house. It had grown dark, and he had had no supper, but that imperative voice within him would not be restrained. Reverend Aloysius' mind worked quickly, and by the time he had reached the house he had already reviewed what he was going to say and found it satisfactory. He was going to tell Miss Anderson the whole miserable story from the day when he overheard her remarks to Miss Bowen. He would tell her how he had planned the whole thing, and he did not mean to spare himself. Then he would ask her whether she preferred to let forgiveness enshroud the matter in silence or whether she wished him to leave the village. Somebody was seated alone upon the stoop. The curate stopped in indecision, and raised his hat. "Well?" came a muffled voice, and the curate sat down beside Miss Anderson. "Miss Anderson," he began, "I have come back to tell you something, to make a confession. I—er—I bought the ring for you and I want to ask you to marry me." The curate stopped in consternation. Was that his voice? He had not intended to say that at all. But suddenly he found that Miss Anderson was in his arms, and their lips were pressed together. And, still more amazed, the curate listened to a malicious, chuckling voice deep in his breast. It was the voice of his conscience. (Copyright, 1915, by W. G. Chapman.) Flea Ties Up Traffic. You wouldn't believe that such a small thing as a flea could tie up traffic on this city's busiest crossing. But it did. The flea lighted on a puppy that was crossing Sixth avenue and Forty-second street, and selecting a particularly succulent portion of the mutt's anatomy, bit deep. And the dog sat down on the car tracks and gave himself completely over to the serious business of scratching. At this moment a taxicab came bounding along. The driver did not pursue a straight course, but turned to avoid the irritated pup and at the same time applied his emergency brakes. The result was safety for the dog, but a stalled taxicab. Instantly traffic behind the taxicab stopped and in less than a minute there was congestion such as has not been seen at that corner in many a day. Cars from four directions added to the confusion. Presently the puppy won his point. The flea desisted and the taxicab motor resumed business. The tangle was straightened out. But it was a good day's work for the flea.—New York Times. Lost in Her Own Home. Have you ever been homesick? If you have not, I doubt if you really know what home means. With all the moving throngs we meet everywhere there are thousands who are literally dying of homesickness. The other day I called in a home. Two years before a young bride had started housekeeping; they had spent all they could on their little home and its furnishings. Shortly after her arrival she began to look for company. Each morning the home was put in order and then in the afternoon she sat waiting for someone to ring the doorbell.

Blue rockets show fear and the deadly nightshade is full of hatred. Both of these are plants, but that does not prevent them from declaring merciless war on animal life. The blue rocket is a dainty flowering shrub which gives forth a perfume at night, but it carries one of the deadliest of poisons. One-sixteenth of a grain shot from its poison pistol has proved fatal to a man. This is according to Prof. Henry G. Walters of Philadelphia, who maintains that plants have memories and are capable of love. the preponderance as a land military power, but was no match for Great Britain on the seas. Lord Kitchener, placed at the head of the military organization of Great Britain, set himself at the tremendous task of raising a volunteer army of not less than 1,500,000 men. In Germany, Grand Admiral von Tirpitz, as head of the German naval organization, took up the task of equalizing the great difference in strength between the Germany navy and that of England. The solution of the problem was not to build up dreadnaughts and battle cruisers, as that would take too long. Lord Kitchener had promised to have his new army ready to land on the continent within six months. The problem confronting Admiral von Tirpitz was to meet this new attack on sea before it could reach the channel ports of France and Belgium. So all Germany's effort, aside from maintaining its land military strength, was centered on submarines. The program decided upon has never been made public. All that is known is that the great works of Krupp at Essen and the naval yards at Dantse have been kept working twenty-four hours a day building submarines. The success of the submarine in the Irish sea and in the English channel, following the declaration by Germany placing British waters in the war area, would indicate that Admiral von Tirpitz had completed his plans. Undoubtedly the submarine at the present time is the one overshadowing factor in the war. The Germans have been reported to have a number of surprises up their sleeves. The one most heralded has been the Zeppelin airships. These, however, have so far proved disappointing. On the other hand, their submarines have taken a tremendous toll from the British navy. The submarine is the one instrument of warfare against which no defense exists. Attacks of the aeroplane and the Zeppelin have been successfully met. New high angle fire guns have been invented by all the nations, and a number of air craft have been brought to earth by them. So far, however, the German submarines have escaped unscathed. To the existence of England's great navy may be traced the invention of the submarine. Its attack on the American colonies during the Revolution brought forth what is generally acknowledged to have been the first successful under-water craft. The invention is accredited to David Bushnell, a Yale student. All through his college days, from 1771 to 1775, he worked steadily on a vessel that would sail under water. When the Revolutionary war broke out he had ready a submarine boat which, on account of its shape, was called the Turtle. He was given a chance at the British fleet under Admiral Lord Howe while it was blockading New York harbor. The strange submarine was launched in New York, but owing to the fact that Mr. Bushnell could not navigate the Turtle himself, as he had not sufficient physical strength, he was forced to turn it over to another man. The Turtle was propelled by hand and had a maximum speed of two miles an hour. zestful garlic.

On the other hand, Germany held the preponderance of Ezra Lee, the man chosen to make the attack on the British flagship, the Eagle, had little time to learn how to operate the new craft. He succeeded in getting the Turtle underneath the Eagle, placing a torpedo under the ship's hull, but was unable to fasten it, as the Eagle was sheathed with copper. The torpedo had a time lock on it which caused it to explode within thirty minutes. It was, however, carried away from the hull of the Eagle by the tide, and at the appointed time it exploded, sending up a huge column of water not far from the British flagship. The failure of the enterprise disgusted the continental authorities and the whole matter ended in ridicule. A quarter of a century later Robert Fulton took the Bushnell invention over to France and interested Napoleon I in it. He was given a try at the British squadron off the coast of France, but here again the craft failed HOW I BROKE INTO PRINT Richard Harding Davis, Popular Author, Tells of His Writing While at College. Richard Harding Davis, says the Strand Magazine, is one of those fortunate men whose short stories can always command a thousand dollars and over. How he "broke into print" is an interesting little history. "It was while at Lehigh university," he says, "that I earned my first INTERNATIONAL CINEMAS SERVICE GERMAN SUBMARINES to catch any of the British ships. Napoleon, tiring of its failure, dismissed Robert Fulton. The British were aware of what was transpiring and managed to open negotiations with Fulton and invited him to go to London. They quickly grasped the fact, as true then as it is now, that the only defense against the submarine was to run away. But they also saw that, if the submarine should be developed, their great naval strength would vanish. They offered Fulton a large sum of money to pigeonhole his invention and to return with it quietly to America. This offer was spurned by Robert Fulton, but the farseeing English statesmen and sea lords of Great Britain had grasped the significance of the submarine—that its success would mean the annihilation of British sea power.

Then the electric engines, by storage batteries and subsidies the powerful heavy oil motors, ill self-starting device on the automan who until a moment ago wan the periscope. Now his bands a The second impetus given to the perfection of the submarine also came from England. John P. Holland of New Haven, Conn., worked for years to perfect what was known as the "Fenlan ram." Lieutenant Holland was an enthusiastic member of the Fenlan clan, whose chief object was to precipitate a war between Great Britain and America. It raised $50,000, and with this fund the first Holland submarine was constructed. Holland used practically the same fundamental principles that were utilized by David Bushnell. The Germans, likewise, concede to Mr. Bushnell the original invention for the undersea boats. The French began to develop the submarine about the year 1900, following the Fashoda affair, which nearly brought England and France to war in 1898. In 1892 England awakened to the fact that the submarines had been pronounced a success, and began building submarines after the Holland type. Germany did not begin to build submarines until 1908. Since then it has carried on an active "unterseeboote" program. At present the Germans have perhaps the largest and most efficient submarines in existence. It has been reported that their latest models have a steaming radius of almost 5,000 miles. The larger share of their boats have a steaming radius of 2,000 miles. It is with these that they propose to enforce the blockade of Great Britain, despite the fact that England has the greatest war fleet in existence. The cost of operation of a submarine is small, compared with that of a battleship. The smaller sized submarines have a crew of twelve men, while the larger size carries not more than twenty-five. Through the invention of the periscope by the French, observations can be taken of the surrounding sea while the boat is submerged. In an ordinarily rough sea the periscope protruding above the surface of the water cannot be discerned from any distance. In a smooth sea, however, the periscope leaves a triangular wake. Submarines, while going under water, are submerged about thirty or forty feet. The man at the lower end of the periscope tube, with his eye glued to the glass, is the center of the submarine's nervous system. When the vessel is not too far under water, he observes the position of the enemy through his periscope, which consists of a series of lenses and prisms. By means of a lever at his right, he can turn the periscope at will and take in any part of the horizon. His telescope attachment tells him how far away the enemy's ship is. sum for writing. It was a description of a 'cane rush' at the university, and I sent it to a local paper. It was published, and a few days later I received a check for the large sum of $1.50. I have received larger checks since then, but the biggest of them never gave me the thrill that one did. "Just as soon as I cashed that check I sailed out to buy something with it—I had no idea what—and in my search I found two very nice-looking candlesticks which, I think, were about the price of the story I had sold. He turns to the speaking tube beside him, when he has sighted the enemy's ship, and orders the engineer to cut off the power for a moment, while he verifies his observation. A moment later he gives the order to submerge to the desired depth. This depth is seldom more than from twenty to forty feet, for the pressure of the water against the sides of the vessel is terrific even then. To submerge the vessel, the engineer turns a valve, and the water tanks at the bottom of the ship begin to fill. With an easy motion the boat drops well below the surface. Then the electric engines, driven by storage batteries and subsidiary to the powerful heavy oil motors, like the self-starting device on the automobile, are started at the command of the man who until a moment ago was at the periscope. Now his hands are on the steering wheel, and by the aid of the compass he makes his way toward the vessel which he hopes to send to the bottom. Occasionally he will rise high enough to use his periscope for further observation and calculation. Then, when he is within a thousand yards or even less of his mark, he will order the boat stopped. He will turn to his speaking tube and direct the crew to slide one of the torpedoes into one of the forward tubes. Before it is loaded the safety attachment on the torpedo's nose is removed. The compressed air engine which operates the miniature submarine—a torpedo is just that—is started, and the torpedo is shot out of the tube by compressed air. The most modern type of automatic torpedoes can be adjusted by a gyroscopic device so that they will turn as desired in their course as far as 90 degrees and with an accuracy of direction which is nothing short of uncanny. A moment after the explosion the periscope is again brought into action to see how badly the ship which has been struck has been damaged. If desirable, another torpedo will be discharged. When its gruesome business is at an end the submarine sinks to a safe depth to avoid disaster from an enemy's destroyer. The electric stove cooks the food for the crew; the automatic exhausts take care of any waste material which may accumulate in the ship, and the oxygen is renewed chemically. In emergencies the dozen compressed air tanks at the bottom of the ship can be used to supply oxygen to the crew. When the boat is miles from the scene it rises to the surface, where its speed is almost doubled. The latest submarines go even one better. They have wheels below the keel, which make them, in fact, deepsea automobiles. They can slip slowly over the bottom, displacing mines and steal unharmed into an enemy's harbor. When the work of destruction is complete they can make their getaway with all the calmness of a holdup man with a friend on the force. Tobacco Growing in Germany. According to statistics just given out by the ministry of agriculture, an area of 34,994 acres in Germany was planted to tobacco during the year 1813, which produced 25,834 metric tons of tobacco, valued at $3,113,579, exclusive of internal revenue. The crop of that year for all Germany was the most unfavorable of the last ten, being below the average in both quantity and quality. I bought them.

I support it on stout etakes that project about eighteen inches above the surface of the soil, using enough of them to keep the netting level all over the bed. ‘This is the season for making war fare on the enemies of the rose. If one would have fine flowers he must make up his mind that he’s got to fight for them. { use an emulsion of soap and kerosene. | It is very necessary that the appli- cation should get to the under side of ‘the leaves and the inside of the bushes, where the insects are likely to hide away; therefore it will be well to have someone assist by bending the bushes over and holding them in that position while the application is being made. Worms, slugs, green lice and the rose-chafer can be kept from injuring the bushes if the emulsion is applied thoroughly and frequently. As soon as my lilacs are past the flowering periods, I go over the bushes and cut away all the seed clusters. ‘The result is—I get a fairly good crop of flowers on what is generally consid- ered the “off year” of this excellent old: shrub. «If itis allowed to develop seed, it generally has few flowers ex- cept on alternate years.

Give your hoe blade the sharpness of a knife by filing it to a keen edge, and go over the ground about your lilacs at the sprout ing season, and shave off every sprout that shows its head above the grass. You can do this just as easily and rap- idly as you can cut off so many weeds, and by doing it you can keep your lilacs from spreading all over the yard. ‘These bushes are nuisances only when allowed to have their own way, Give them the attention they need and they are easily kept under con- trol. ‘The secret of success consists in not letting them get the start of you. Prige Meee r em ete Nope chee poe are This month will be a busy one for the gardener. There will be plants to put out, weeds to pull, insects to kill —auite enough to keep one at work most of the time. I do my transplanting on cloudy days, if possible, but if the weather persists in being sunshiny, I do the work after sundown. Before lifting a seedling, I apply enough water to thoroughly saturate the soil in which it is growing. If this is done, the young plant can be moved without ex- posure to the roots, and it will receive no check whatever, but will keep on growing as if nothing had happened to it. But allow its tender, delicate roots to be exposed to air for ever so little a time and you run a serious risk of losing your plant. If this does not happen, it will re- ceive a check from which it will take a long time to recover. ‘One cannot be too careful with any- thing as delicate as a seedling plant. In bright weather newly transplanted seedlings will require shading for a day or two. I cut out a circle of coarse brown paper, about a foot across, make a slit'to the center-on one side of it, and fold the paper over two or three inches, running a wire out and in through the folded part. ‘This wire serves to hold the paper to gether and acts as a support for the little brown paper umbrella. It should be at least twelve inches Jong—long enough to insert in the ground close to the seedling, and hold the paper cone well above the plant it is designed to protect. This kind of a covering keeps the sun away from the plant, but does not interfere with free circulation of air about it.

If ever there lived a woman without a longing for this strictly feminine and most luxurious of belongings she must have been feeble-minded, for every well-balanced daughter of Eve acknowledges their fascination. The most enticing of negligees are made of crepe de chine or thin, supple silk, with laces and ribbons. Color plays so important a part in the makeup of these garments that the fabric is the second consideration. All the beautiful and rich colors may be set down as available, and the more flowerlike the better. Also the more frilly and frivolous and altogether ir- Suggestion for Makin In the matter of lingerie one may choose between much-trimmed or little-trimmed garments, providing they are made of sheer, well-woven cotton or linen fabrics. The great majority are made of cotton because it is cheaper than linen, is just as good-looking, and does not muss so easily. Linen is thought to be more durable and is therefore sometimes selected for lingerie which is to be hand-embroidered. By comparison with cotton fabrics, such as fine volles, woven of hard-twisted thread, durability lies rather in favor of cotton. The best known tub fabrics include naimook, batiste, long cloth, voile, mull, lull, and the fine cotton crepes. One of the first three named is chosen for the great bulk of all lingerie An empire gown of nainsook, with body and sleeves of narrow val insertion, is pictured here. A narrow beading is set at the top and bottom of the body and serves to carry the narrow responsible the design, the better the negligee seems to fulfill its destiny—which is just to be pretty. These house gowns are easy to make, as may be gathered from the very good example shown in the picture. A long, plaited skirt is set on to a short baby waist having elbow sleeves covered with rows of plaiting that are edged with narrow lace. A wide ribbon girdle, with a rosette bow at the front, is tacked over the joining of the waist and skirt. A coatee of shadow lace, with draped sleeve, adds the final touch of daintiness and a new style feature at the same time. Light pink crepe and cream-white lace make as good a color combination as any, but one may consider becomingness and environment and choose whatever is most pleasing. g Pretty Night Dress satin ribbon that adjusts the gown to the figure. It is finished with an edging of val. The sleeves are made separately and decorated with beading edged with val. Ribbon is run in the beading and tied in little bows, with hanging loops and ends, by way of dainty decoration. The three little figures sketched in the picture suggest gowns more simply trimmed but equally pretty. Each borrows the refinement of lace and the glow of color in ribbons, and each is gracefully cut. Thus they embody attractions that merit the interest and the admiration that women always accord tasteful lingerie.
