Colorado Statesman

PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY LIBERIA The present financial situation in Liberia (says the American Consul at Monrovia) is due to the lack of ships to carry away its produce and to bring in return those articles which are needed but not produced there. Relief could take no more practical form than the establishment of a direct line of American steamers calling at Liberian ports. Before the outbreak of hostilities steamship service to Liberia was maintained by English lines from Liverpool and Rotterdam; German lines from Hamburg and Bremen; a Spanish line from Cadiz; and also, by agreement, the English and German lines mentioned operated jointly a direct service from New York to West Africa, and Liberian ports were included in its itinerary. Simultaneously with the declaration of war all German steamship service to West Africa ceased. That deprived Liberia at one stroke of four-fifths of its shipping facilities. Spanish steamers are said to refuse cargo when it is offered them by Germans or by persons who have bought it from Germans because, it is claimed, such cargo renders the steamers liable to seizure and search, involving delay and expense. The English service has also become badly disorganized, at least so far as Liberia is concerned, and this has contributed its full share toward the creation of acute conditions in the commerce of the country. At this stage of developments, Liberians are not in need of wholesale charity and as I understand, do not ask or seek it. What they do earnestly desire is neutral shipping facilities that will carry from their ports the thousands of tons of produce now congested there, and bring in exchange the things they reed. Two American steamers of say, 3,000 tons, plying between New York and Liberia, would be loaded to their full capacity each way, and handsome returns be made on the capital invested in the enterprise. Although the spectre of war and cognate matters seem to fill the entire diplomatic horizon, a cloud, proverbially no larger than a man's hand, has appeared in that quarter. The cloud may pass away or it may cast a shadow over the relations between this country and the United States and between France and the United States. Probably comparatively few people know of the American Colonization Society, which i VOL. XX11. A REMEDY introducing the question which can cause serious trouble. The Society founded Liberia in 1821, and ruled it as a kind of Chartered Company until 1847, when the colony was given its independence. But though the Society never interfered in the government of the Republic, it has always had a distinct, as well as a sentimental, interest in the land, for when control was relinquished, sixty-eight years ago, there was a clear stipulation in the treaty of session that the Society should hold every alternate square mile in Liberia, and in each new settlement subsequently formed. The agreement is described as a valid and living instrument. At one time Liberia consisted of 85,000 square miles. Claims by Great Britain and by France have reduced the territory to little more than 30,000 square miles. TERRITORIAL REBATE The American Colonization Society now not only challenges the right and equity of Great Britain and France to effect these rectifications of the frontier, but intends, it is said, to demand restitution; using another phrase employed, to claim territorial rebate. Should the attempt to have the claim endorsed by the United States succeed, an unpleasant situation will be brought about, considerably accentuated by the fact—wnich is given here on the strength of a semi-official statement at Washington—that President Howard and his administration at Liberia will work with the American Colonization Society "in recovery of sovereignty and property rights in the alienated territory." We give no view at this stage of the question, but simply render a plain statement of fact on what may develop into a troublesome subject.—The African World. MAJOR BALLARD BACK FROM LIBERIAN POST Major Wilson Ballard and wife arrived in New York last Monday after two months trip from Monrovia, Liberia. He has been associated with Captain Young in recruiting and perfecting an organization of a Liberia and native constabulary, and is filled with the interesting experiences which he encountered in the Hinterland and African Bush, and his very enthusiastic wife gives a vivid account of their two months of dodging German submarines and glimpses DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

WAR WILL BENEFIT ALL COLORED RACES New York City.—In an interview granted the New York Times recently Mr. Srinivas R. Wagel (East Indian), financial editor of the North China Daily News, fired a hot shot at the theory held by the white races that they have a monopoly of the virtues while the Colored races are in possession of all the undesirable traits of humgnity. The interview is published in the New York Times of Aug. 22 Mr. Wagel said in part: "The white races have gone on the theory for many years that had a monopoly of the virtues, while the Colored races were in possession of all the undesirable traits of humanity. But this War appears to have proven to several of the white races that other white races have quite as many and as sinister attributes as any Colored races. The men with tinted skins of my own and other races who are fighting in the trenches beside the English and the French—are they not men who are proving their manhood and their virtue to those English and French? "Before the year it was said by whites that they would not work beside men of colored skins, because it was lowering to do so. The white men who are today using the rifle and bayonet side by side with men of colored skins are finding no lowering of dignity. It is likely that when the war is over the white men will regard the tinted men who have fought beside them in quite the same way as they did before the war, if it comes to a question working in the field with them for instance? "There are fashions in thought and I believe the war will make entirely old-fashioned the thought that a man with a white skin must necessarily be superior to a man with a brown skin. "BIRTH OF A NATION CAUSES RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia has had a riot, "The Birth of the Nation" caused it. Having appealed unsuccessfully to the mayor of the city and the governor of the state to prohibit the presentation of Dixon's distasteful photo play, an assemblage of colored citizens estimated at 5,000, among whom were many white sympathizers, marched to the Forrest theater to protest against its appearance. As the crowd was orderly all went well until some one hurled a brick through the theatre window. One hundred police then charged the crowd and in the brief fight which ensued some of Philadelphia's best colored citizens were injured and some of the police did not escape without painful bruises. RETIRES AFTER THIRTY Seattle, Wash, Oct. 1.—Only 45 years of age, William A. Vrooman, regimental quartermaster sergeant of the Ninth cavalry, retired on September 12 after thirty years continuous service, with pay amounting to $67.40 per month. His entire service was with the Ninth. Vrooman enlisted in 1886 at Buffalo, N. Y., when only 16 years old. He served in the Indian campaign of 1890-1891, was at Santiago in the battle of San Juan Hill, and was in the Philippine of 1900-02. He qualified in 1894 as distinguished marksman, the highest qualification in the army. Sergeant Vrooman received his retirement papers at Douglas, Ariz., where the Ninth is stationed, on September 12, and the next day he was escorted by the regimental band and a large number of his comrades when he took the train for Cheyenne, where he visited before coming on to Seattle. He will make his future home in this city. PROHIBITION LAW SUSTAINED. In his decision in the district court Wednesday last, Judge Perry upheld the prohibition law passed by the last legislature when he refused the application of the "Home Rule" league in their mandamus proceedings against Secretary of State Ramer, who would not file petition for referendum of the law at the next general election. The judge held that it was not within the province of the court to go behind a law regularly passed by the legislature. Notice was given by John W. Helbig, attorney for the petitioners, that he would take the case to the supreme courtf or review as the safety clause was improperly inserted in the bill and therefore the bill was null and void. Judge Perry held that the legislature had the right to put in the safety clause and also to provide that the law should not go into effect for nearly a year afterwards. He found nothing in the passage of the law that would justify invalidating it. The secretary of state expressed himself as being very much satisfied with the decision. "A handsome man," said Bruce Eben, "allus has to lose a little time in life convincin' people dat he's willin' to do sho'n-work." RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Leonia, N. J., Whites here are exercised because George S. Mills, a well to-do colored man, bought a residence in the exclusive residential section for which he paid $6,500. Rumor has it that two blocks on Grand avenue, where Mills' new home stands may be given over to well to do colored tenants or buyers. A colored real estate dealer of New York city is said to be behind this project. One thousand dollars to Mrs. Coleridge-Taylor, widow of the great composer; one hundred dollars to his mother, and two hundred dollars to each of the children until they reach the age of twenty-one. These pensions are the estimate the British Government sets upon the work of a great man. But Coleridge-Taylor did not write "Tipperary." Chicago, -At the Lincoln Jubilee and Half-Century Anniversary of Negro Freedom, celebrated recently in Chicago, Catholic mission work among the colored people of America was represented by exhibits from 42 convents, schools and churches. The Catholic exhibition was one of the largest in the hall. Pupils of Mother Katherine Drexlel's school were awarded first prize for magnificent embroidery work the second prize went to the colored Sisters in Baltimore and the third prize to the Illinois Technical School for Girls in Chicago. Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 30. The Colored citizens who were not satisfied with the representations of their forefathers as shown in Griffith's spectacle, "The Birth of a Nation," at the Forrest theatre have decided to spend no further time in protesting the Griffith production and is agreed that a far more effective answer can be made by devoting its attention to making its own a success. With this end in view, James Scott, private secretary to Booker T. Washington has been in conference with Henry I. MacMahon, the Eastern representative of Thomas H. Ince, the celebrated motion-picture director. An elaborate scenario has been worked out showing the early the wonderful progress that enlightened Colored citizens have made in the past half a century. In affairs of the Pullman sleeping corporation will be aired in Congress during the next session, if present indications count for any thing. The Negro, of course, will NO 8 figure conspicuously in a portion of the proceedings. In accordance with recommendations of the United States Commission on Industrial Relations, a bill is likely to be introduced early in the coming session prohibiting the tipping of employees of public service corporations doing an interstate business. The commission's recommendations are based largely upon its investigation of the affairs of Pullman Car Company, in which figured prominently the problem of wages and "tips" received by the colored porters employed by the company. The question is a big one and there will be much said on both sides. The Colored Industrial School of Cincinnati is probably the best equipped industrial school anywhere in the North for colored youth. It has a million dollar endowment, the gift of the late Mrs. McCall of Cincinnati, who wished to found an institution for the industrial education of Negro youth in Cincinnati. This school carries all the industries, and a chauffeur and automobile repair course. Mr Ricks, the principal, is using some of his boys, along with such colored mechanics as he can get, in constructing the new $40,000 Carmel Presbyterian Church. This will probably be the only building in Cincinnati put up entirely by colored mechanics. Jeffersonville, Ind., Sept. 24.—Nathaniel Marble and John Britton, two of five colored employees of the Pennsylvania lines who have sued to recover the difference in pay which they received as Porters on the run between Louisville and Indianapolis, and the rate of pay of white brakemen on the same run, have filed additional suits against the Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Chicago & St. Louis Railway Co., the former asking $121 and the latter $54, alleged due as part of their wages kept back as contributions to the voluntary relief department of the railroad. Both were discharged, with several others, August 15, 1915, because of the protest made by the railroad organizations over the employment of the porters to do brakemen's work. Each is suing for more than $2,000 alleged due as difference of wages. Several suits similar to the two new ones have been instituted against the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railroad Company, but these are the first, as far as known here, to be directed against the voluntary relief department of the Pennsylvania lines.

CORPSE IN ROUTT COUNTY IS THOUGHT TO BE SAMPSON'S. Seek to Identify It as Rev. Sampson Missing Thirty Days. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—The body of a man, battered by wind and snow, torn by wild beasts, which is believed to be that of the Rev, Thornton R. Sampson of Austin, Tex., was found at the extreme east end of Routt county on the banks of Rock creek. The body bears many resemblances to the description of the missing minister. Dr. Sampson, experienced woodsman, a man who had many times battled with the elements, disappeared from view thirty days ago in the Estes Park region. He was last seen by Clifford Highy as he ascended the western slope of Flat Top mountain just above timberline, and he was making for the place across the divide where the dedication of the Rocky Mountain park was held on Sept. 4. The body found in Routt county lay over sixty miles by shortest line to where the missing minister was last seen by Highy. The body was found by a stockman who later notified Coroner W. H. Bashor of Steamboat Springs. The coroner motored to Yampa and thence to the spot where the body lay and took it into Yampa. He then telephoned of the find to Chief of Police Duffield, who communicated with Roland G. Parvin and M. E. Rowley of the Metropole hotel, who knew Dr. Sampson and have been instrumental in starting the wide search for the missing theologian. Conference on Industrial Situation.

Tales of GOTHAM and other CITIES Gotham Has Great Piles of Gold From England Gotham Has Great Piles of Gold From England NEW YORK.—New York has recently got three gold shipments from England, each of about $20,000,000, brought by a fast British cruiser to Hall-fax and then carried overland with elaborate precautions. The first two piece by piece, until the scales tip. The subtreasury here credits the importer only with the whole coins and the chips are turned over to the assay office, which melts them up into bricks. These chips amount to several thousand dollars in the recent three big shipments. As to the sovereigns, the assay office found itself with 2,550,000 on its hands. The importers were anxious to get the benefit of the amount. A law has been passed allowing them to be credited with the sovereigns as bullion without melting them up, but there has been a dispute over the deductions to be made for wear on the coins, dirt, and other considerations which could not be settled, and this has made the law a dead letter. Uncle Sam charges $1 a thousand ounces for melting the gold. This does not cover the cost by a lot. It takes one's breath away at first to look around the furnace room of the assay office, for gold is lying about in an apparently most careless way. The sovereigns are heaped into wooden troughs. The furnace men wear heavy woolen shirts and asbestos gloves to protect their bodies from the intense heat. The gold is melted in rough, three-gallon crucibles which rest upon a grate on which jets spray crude oil. A fierce flame beats around the crucibles. A workmen seizes a few pounds of gold coins, protects his face with one hand and throws them into the retort. In a few minutes the mass is a golden liquid. Another workman ladles the precious metal into what look like extra large muffin tins. These molds are greased as a cook would do, too, and the lard flames up as the hot gold strikes. The 2,000,000 sovereigns are now nothing more than a stack of dirty, charcoal smudged bricks, each worth about $7,000. They are smaller than a building brick, but weigh between twenty-five and thirty pounds apiece. They are not as careless as they look at the assay office, however. The gold given to each furnace man is weighed before being given to him and the bricks he produces must contain just that much metal, with a slight allowance for the disappearance of part of the alloy. World's Three Busiest Blocks Are In Chicago World's Three Busiest Blocks Are In Chicago CHICAGO.—The three busiest blocks in the world, where the clanging of street car bells, chugging of automobiles and the humming sound of thousands of pedestrians unite in one great turmoil, are in the business district of Chicago, according to a statis- year, the computation being based on only nine hours a day. An actual check by investigators for Mr. Galligan showed 10,544 vehicles passing through this block in nine hours. The second busiest block is on Michigan avenue between South Water and River streets. An investigator checked traffic here for eight hours and counted 8,984 vehicles. Next in density of traffic is the block in State street between Madison and Monroe streets. Investigators working nine hours checked 8,004 vehicles in the same period of time. "Without question these are the busiest traffic blocks in the world," said Mr. Galligan, who is an expert on traffic matters. "It exceeds anything New York has, and neither London, Paris nor Berlin has a business block showing the same amount of density." New York Domestics Live In Luxury for a Time NEW YORK.—Surrounded by luxuries that would satisfy even the most extravagant desire of a millionaire, a dozen or more servants have been occupying the $100,000 Van Beil mansion, in Highland avenue. Merion-on-the- furnished rooms of the mansion, flicking specks of dust here and there from furniture, now stroll easily and confidently from room to room, watching their reflections in imported mirrors. Kitchen maids, whose duty it was to keep silverware polished until it shone with the brightness of the sun, now, during leisure moments, recline in wicker chairs on the porch, where Mrs. Van Beil formerly entertained guests of social standing. The entire estate has been transformed into a servants' paradise. To some of the servants it all seems like a dream. There isn't a servant living probably who has not "day-dreamed" about escaping from the drudgery of servantdom and becoming the master or mistress of a grand house, but not one, even in his or her most imaginative moments, ever believed that any such thing ever happened outside one of Grimm's fairy tales.

The old pawnbroker looked in astonishment at the object which was set down upon the counter before his eyes. "A peachblow vase, only fifteen inches high," said the well-dressed man who had come into the shop. "One of the only pair in existence, and valued officially by the American museum at forty thousand dollars apiece." "How much do you want on it?" inquired the pawnbroker, more from force of habit than anything else. "Two thousand dollars," answered the man. All the while he kept his hands carefully about the precious object, resting in its velvet case. The pawnbroker stared at it. It was worth its weight in gold, and something more. Jones had the only pawnbshop which was also an art museum. He had handled half the private objects of virtue in collections, perhaps. None knew but he how often the rich man needs a large loan. He was cognizant with the peachblow vases, and he had heard of this unique pair, one of which rested in the American museum, the other being the property of some unknown European. "Of course you understand I must have an expert—" he began. "Quite so," answered the man. "Oblige me by signing thfs receipt and liability, and I will be back in a week." Jones signed. The deal would mean only a small sum, but his curiosity was thoroughly aroused. With trembling fingers he locked away the MARVEL "It's a Fake, Mr. Smith?" trophy in his safe. Then he telephoned Smith, the famous expert in porcelains. The expert arrived that afternoon and looked the vase over. "It's the most brazen imposture I've ever met," he said quietly. "It's a fake, Mr. Smith?" "Not at all. It's the vase from the museum. Stolen, of course, and no doubt the authorities are keeping it dark while they hunt down the thief. I'll telephone the curator at once. By the way, was the man who brought you this a tallish man with a slight cast in one eye?" "Yes," said the pawnbroker. "Why?" "He's the fellow that foisted the spurious Botticelli on old Campion last year. Painted it himself, and it took a microscopic knowledge of the original to enable me to detect that a certain sinew of the hand, which Botticelli always gets wrong, was right in the picture. Cleverest thief in Europe. Hello! Give me the museum, please." Five minutes later he looked up at Jones in amazement. "The museum people laughed at me," he said. "The vase is there, right where it has always been, in a special case. Let me look at that again, please, and then I'll go up there." He inspected the vase, jotted down some notes, and took his departure. He returned late at night, bewildered. "The peachblow is in the museum," he said. "I saw it with my own eyes. It's the genuine peachblow. Jones. I believe if you look in your safe you'll find the vase missing." But it wasn't missing. It remained in the safe, shining with all its delicate transparency of pink and white. "I'll come tomorrow and go over it inch by inch," said the expert. He did so and pronounced the vase genuine. "It's a twin brother of the museum one," he said. "The same man made both in the time of the Ming dynasty it's genuine—I guarantee that. But I'm going to see the one in the museum once more." However, the curator refused to let him handle the museum vase. He was suspicious of the critic's eagerness, and thought that he meant to decry the authenticity of the famous vase, for which the museum had paid forty thousand a year before. Besides, he was not willing to risk the breakage or forty thousand dollars worth of proclaim by an unfortunate slip of the expert's hand. Smith, standing beside the case, examined the vase. It stood in a case similar to that in which its rejoining reposed in the pawnbroker's sate, or red leather, lined with velvet and open at the front. He compared it with his notes with the utmost care. He could see hardly a variation. And yet there was undoubtedly the slightest variation—just enough to 'convince him that the two vases were indubitably two. "I guarantee that the vase in your possession is genuine," he told the pawnbroker. "But I'm suspicious. If that fellow is the one who played that trick on old Campion there's something strange about it." Once more he went to the curator. He almost went down on his knees to him, but the curator was adamant. He refused in the strongest terms to allow anybody to handle the peachblow vase. "I guess I've done all that is possible." Smith said to the pawnbroker. "Now it's up to you." "I don't care about the money," said Jones. "But I mean to have possession of that vase for a few weeks before I die." However, the day before that set by the stranger for his return Jones went down to his shop to find the safe drilled open and the vase—only the vase—gone. The horrified old man sent for Smith. "He won't come for it," said Smith with conviction. "Td have a couple of detectives ready in case he did. The police are still looking for him in connection with the Campion affair." The stranger failed to appear. A second week passed. Jones had almost become reconciled to the situation. Not so the critic. Since his pleas to the curator a guard had unostentatiously been stationed before the peachblow vase in the museum. The guard did not know Smith. He watched with only languid interest the well-dressed, unobtrusive man who was looking at the peachblow. Suddenly Smith raised his arm. There was the sound of splintering glass. An instant later the famous peachblow vase lay shattered into a hundred pieces on the floor. "Now send for the curator," said the expert, making no resistance. Less than ten minutes later the curator arrived. When he saw Smith he tore his hair; he shook his fist in Smith's face. "I'll have you sent up for life for this!" he bawled. "I took a big chance," answered Smith. "But take a look at your peachblow." The curator stopped in his denunciations. Something in Smith's face made him obey. Gingerly he picked up one fragment. He was handling common earthenware, covered with a thin, skillfully painted canvas. "Yes, it was a chance," said Smith to the dumfounded curator. "The man is the most skillful copier in Europe. I shouldn't wonder if you have been negotiating for the companion peachblow." "Why, we have almost arranged to get it for thirty thousand," shouted the other. "Yes. He was selling you your own vase. He knew, once he got away with it and left this dummy, it might lie undetected on your shelf for years. He planned to get the real vase certified through a pawnbroker, but got cold feet when he found I was on the trail. You'd better take a detective to your meeting and get your vase back."

A man from the city riding along a country road breathed the most delicious perfume. He said: "Where does that come from?" Casting his eye to the left of the road he saw a large field of red clover in full bloom, and the bees taking the sweets for honey. He halted his carriage to drink in the fragrance. Science has found a bean from which an extract is taken whose odor is so nearly like that of sweet clover that it can hardly be distinguished from it, and is used in the market in large quantities as a substitute for it. It is the tonqua, or tonka bean, found on the large forest trees of tropical South America, chiffly in the village of the Orinoco, Quara and Cuchivero rivers in Venezuela, and certain sections of Colombia and Brazil. The trees grow sometimes 60 feet nigh and are three feet in diameter. In Venezuela the trees are called sarrapia, and the men engaged in the collection of the beans are called sarrapieros. These collections usually set out for the forests in February, when the beans begin to ripen. They go up the rivers in canoes or skiffs by the hundreds and gather the pods when they fall, pull the beans from them, and, drying them thoroughly, they are sent to the exporter and thus on to the various ports of the world. By a chemical and mechanical process the extract is taken.—The Christian Herald. The Two Frogs. Two Frogs dwelt in the same pool. The pool being dried up under the summer's heat, they left it, and set out together for another home. As they went along they chanced to pass a deep well, amply supplied with water, on seeing which one of the Frogs said to the other: "Let us descent and make our abode in this well, it will furnish us with shelter and food. The other replied with greater caution. "But suppose the water snound ran us, now can we get out again from so great a depth?" Do notning without a regard to the consequences.—From Aesop's raries.

The sessions of this congress, which are being held at the First Baptist church this week, are very interesting especially at this time when there is being held a Soil Products Exposition. As one of our leading journals expressed it—four words sum up the history of Western agriculture—investigation, co-operation, education and application. Several papers on "Dry Land Agriculture" and addresses on "The Farmer of Tomorrow," "The Effects of Soil Alkali on Crops" were freely discussed. A special feature of the congress was "The Training of the Young in the Knowledge of the Farm," and the consensus of opinion of the delegates was that "our girls and boys need this practical training to fill the positions of farm wives and mothers and good farmers." Delegates from all parts of the world attended and a very successful session repaid them for their efforts. MINERS ADOPT ROCKEFELLER'S INDUSTRIAL PLAN From the result of the voting on Mr. Reckefeller's plan for the welfare of the employés of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company in the mining camps it has been proven that the miners have decided to accept this plan, being satisfied with its provisions. This corporation, which came in for distrust owing to certain obligations devolved on the miners as they expressed, must feel satisfied in this successful result brought about by the business-like way their head has solved the troublesome situation, getting first-hand information from the workers and their representatives. We can see the day coming to a close when neither the political boss, who claims to represent his employer, at the same time doing the most damaging acts to his business interests, or the agitators of labor organizations who rather resort to violence to settle their disputes, will be able to retain their respective positions, as plans brought about in this way place the workmen in the channel to decide for themselves in a sane, sober and intelligent manner without becoming the victims of undue influence. Industrial co-operation is the aim of this plan, and provision is made for representatives of the employés to deal with representatives of the corporation on all questions affecting the welfare of the workmen and their families in wages, education, playgrounds and social centers. The Rockefeller plan has to do with the employés of one corporation, and the workmen placing that confidence in their head will have no cause to regret, we hope, as we believe Mr. Rockefeller is conscientious and sincere in his desire to give a square deal to those who are in his employment THE GOVERNOR'S MESSENGER. This position, made vacant by the resignation of Mr. O. T. Jackson, who occupied it for years, and being aware of the number of aspirants for political jobs, we sincerely trust that Governor Carlson will entertain another member of the colored race for the position. Nearly all our chief executives of the state have appointed a man of color, and our hope is that the governor will appoint a man who is qualified for the job, giving satisfaction to him and the public in general. Knowing from our experience the efficient service given by Mr. Jackson and his predecessors, we do not hesitate to come out and express that an appointment of one of such citizens would be satisfactory to the race and community and an appreciation of our chief for this act would be entertained by the people. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ How islandgrass is made.

Practical Study of Science of Physics By Prof. Frank Goeder, Denver, Colo. A middle-aged man sitting on the doorsteps with a thoughtless expression on his face was asked the following question: "Why do you sit and sit; what are you doing?" The ready reply was, "Just living, that is all." Too many people go through the world without seeing the beauty and the wonderful side of life, but are just living, seemingly there is nothing that they can do. Why not start to thinking, when there is so much to be done? Ask yourself some questions and proceed to answer them and be surprised at the outcome. Did you ever stop to think what makes the planets keep moving, and what holds them on their orbits out in the infinite space? What causes the vapor to rise when heat is applied to a liquid? What causes the noise which follows an explosion? Such questions may be asked by the hundreds, and still to all these there is an answer. How wonderful it is to be able to converse upon such questions and give thought to them instead of letting them pass unnoticed. It seems to me there is no better subject that will start the young man or woman to thinking and develop that dormant phase of life than the study of the science of physics. In this subject we are awakened to the fact that these things exist and the reasons are given in such a manner that there is plenty of room to expand upon them. Start to thinking, and when we see the effect let's get at the cause. A recent editorial on music, based on an interview given by the pianist, Joseph Hoffman, is a welcome one. Yes, ragtime is the most vulgar music that ever was written, and I regret to observe that even society is listening to such music, which doesn't elevate but demoralizes. I have studied this country and have taken an interest in the American fine arts, literature and music. No country can record as many pianos as this, but, to my sorrow, in frequenting all classes, I very seldom have the good fortune to hear good music in the homes. The great majority of Americans neglect their good composers. The brilliant MacDowell, with his brilliant Indian suite; Mrs. H. A. Beach, George Chadwick, Cadman, Victor Herbert, the newcomer, Carpenter, are enough to show that we over here have good music. Do away with ragtime, the disgrace of music. The verses applied to ragtime are even more vulgar, more immoral than the music. In first-class restaurants the sound of ragtime is sickening the ears of serious listeners. The public, the press and music publishers should endeavor to popularize the refined American composers, just as Mrs. Bloomfield-Zeisler popularized MacDowell in Europe. Observations Made by the Astronomer By S. L. Macdonald, Colorado Agricultural College. To the average man the stars seem to have very little relation to his daily life. He may have some vague idea that the calendar and the clock owe their precision to the astronomer but probably is not aware that at the principal observatories of the country astronomical observations are made on every clear night for the express purpose of regulating an astronomical clock with the greatest exactness, and that from the information based on these observations, on every day at noon an electric signal is flashed to all parts of the country, by which timepieces are set to the second. We owe to the astronomer the beginning of our seasons, the schedule of the moon and the announcements for morning and evening stars. The astronomer gives us the distance from San Francisco to Manila, from London to Melbourne. He has not only measured and mapped the surface of the earth, but has given this planet a definite setting in the universe. He has charted the divisions of space until the boundaries of his explorations are a hundred million times the distance of the sun from us. He has brought order and array out of what would otherwise be abysmal chaos. He has had his full share in the elimination of myth and superstition and in the determination of present standards of civilization and progress. Take Lead in Art and Literature By Dr. A. L. ALLEN, New York There is no line of industry or art in which America will not benefit because of the European war, but we are likely, I fear, to overlook the great opportunity that offers to take the lead in art and literature. Europe is giving its best blood to the war god. Dispatches every day tell us of the sacrifice of men high in the literary and art world, not to speak of famous musicians who are laying down their lives. There are hundreds of literary men and artists who probably will not again give their best work to the world. Now is the time when we can take the lead. We have too long been followers. Europe will be too busy after the war rebuilding her broken nations to think of art or literature or music. This country in the last hundred years has led the world in invention and mechanical achievement. It is time we were thinking of other things that soften civilization; this is our chance. The law of compensation applies to everything. Ever since the meat supply began to decrease and the price of beef and mutton to go up, there have been unusually heavy fruit and grain crops. This certainly has had its effect in educating the public into eating less meat and more grain and fruit. The food value of fruit never has been really understood by the general public. Outside of the sirup, the food value of fruits is quite as high, if not actually higher, than that of meats. Probably the greatest waste in food products in this country occurs because of improper methods of gathering and marketing. This applies particularly to berries and to many vegetables, and notably to eggs. Never be hasty in arriving at conclusions. The fellow you look upon as the missing link may be a gentle husband and father. Every farmer, when he sows wheat, is an optimist and doesn't realize it.

PHYNIX, Manager Webster's Orchestra Admission 25c A Pennsylvania girl has won the prize that the American Society for Thrift recently offered for the best definition of thrift, says the Youth's Companion. "Thrift," she wrote, "is management of your affairs in such a manner that the value of your possessions is constantly being increased." The definition may seem trite, but the truth it expresses needs constant emphasis. Saving money on one thing to waste it on another is not thrift. Violin Makers. In the French school of violin making the art was not practiced generally until the eighteenth century. The French were rather more skillful as imitators of the Italians than as originators, and the most famous of these early French makers was Nicolas Lupot, who copied Stradivarius almost exclusively. The German school never got very far in its success. Jacob Stainer standing at the head of the makers of that country. Where Did He Get It?

There will follow some lightning calculations as to how much he had to spend during his lifetimes to get so much inspiration.—Louisville Courier-Journal. Only Safe Kisses. To make kissing perfectly safe, the secretary of the American Social Hygiene association recommends these precautions: Cut out a square of tissue paper, give it a bath in an antiseptic solution and place it over your mouth. This safeguard will prevent the kiss doing you harm provided you don't wear out the paper or break through it. From Maxims of Marcus O'Tutt. A habit of loiling in the Lap of Luxury does not help a man much when he finds himself lying face downward on the Knees of Chance.

DOUGLAS UNDERTAKING CO Death Notices Mr. Edward Moore, beloved son of Mrs. Emmel Howard, departed this life Sept. 29, at residence, 3110 Franklin street. Funeral services were held Friday, Oct. 1, 2 p. m., from above residence. Rev. Overs officiated. Interment Riverside. Leonard Carr, age 17 years, beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. Sarah E. Mumford, departed this life Sunday, Oct. 3, at residence, Larimer street. Remains was shipped Monday, Oct. 4, 2 p. m., to Indianapolis, Ind., where relatives and friends will be given an opportunity to view the body. From there it will be shipped to Dayton, O., for interment in family plot. SON OF POPULAR CITIZEN PASSES AWAY. Master William, Jr., beloved son of Mr. and Mrs. William Brasher of 1523 East 30th avenue, answered the death summons on Saturday morning last after the best efforts of medical skill failed to relieve him from an acute attack of appendicitis. His brief illness of two days terminating in his almost sudden death has created quite an effect on the grief-stricken mother and father, whose feelings can be more imagined than described. Promising, intelligent and strictly obedient this youth, aged $7\frac{1}{2}$ years, endeared himself to his grandmother, grandfather and his other relatives, also the large circle of friends of Mr. and Mrs. Brasher, that his demise will not easily pass from their memory, and the sorrow that now overshadows them can only be soothed by the faith of the Christian who knows that He who doeth all thinks knowest best. Master William was a devoted member of the Church of the Redeemer which he enjoyed attending. Joseph Brasher, his grandfather, arrived in the city Sunday from Topeka to attend the funeral, his grandmother was so ill that she could not attend. Death indeed leaves a shining mark. The funeral took place on Monday 4th, inst., from their residence, the ceremony being performed by the Revs. Pope and Over, with the Camel Undertaking Co, in charge. Interment at Fairmount A large number of friends and acquaintances including many of the deceased little associates of his school days was present to pay their last respects to the dear one whom they learned to love, and the Colorado Statesman, knowing this family for years as well-respected and popular citizens in the community join in extending heart felt sympathy to them in this hour of bereavement, commending them to the care and keeping of the Arch-Consoler, who rules and guides their destinies. "Resign thy sorrow into God's hands and leave it there." CARD OF THANKS We deeply appreciate the expressions of sympathy and kindness, also the beautiful floral tributes from friends, neighbors and the ladies of the Church of Redeemer and Shorter Chapel, during the recent illness and loss of our darling son. MR. AND MRS. J. W. BRASHER. IN MEMORIAM. In loving memory of my dear mother, Anna Reed, who departed this life seven years today, Oct. 8, 1908, Gone but not forgotten. May her soul rest in peace.

Both Sabbath school and divine services were well attended last Sabbath. The adult Bible class was well represented by mothers and fathers of the church. The presence of the members of the session is a mark of good example. Let everybody co-operate to make the school and church what it should be in the community. Let not the enthusiasm gained during the week of anniversary exercises die out, but let it be an inspiration for every member to push his shoulders to the wheel and pull the gospel wagon. The pastor finishes the series of his discourses of seven tomorrow morning. At eventide there will be a special message for the race, it is hoped that every race lover will attend this special service. You may agree, or you may disagree with the th epupils deliverance on the "Racial Weaknesses That Require Immediate Doctoring," but come all the same and pass your verdict. SHORTER CHAPEL'S NOTES. Rev. Robert L. Pope, B. D., Pastor. Miss Mary G. Evans of Chicago, Ill., the evangelist whom all Denver loves, will arrive in the city today and will fill the pulpit at Shorter tomorrow, both morning and evening. A great outpouring of the citizens of Denver is expected at both services, and therefore comfortable seats can be assured them only who come early. On Monday evening, Miss Evans will deliver her popular lecture, "A Trip to the Holy Land," which is said to be one of the finest lectures of its kind before the American public. You have not heard Miss Evans at her best until you have heard this lecture. The admission will be 25 cents. Tickets are now one sale. From present indication the forecast is that Shorter's auditorium will not be sufficient to accommodate the large number that will turn out on this occasion. It is predicted that not less than 800 people will hear this lecture. Our sick list this week includes Sisters Effie Walden, 1218 Twenty-fourth avenue, and Elizabeth Crane, parsons; Brothers J. P. Perkins, 1025 Bannock street; H. G. Mason, 2352 Humboldt street; Harry Jones, 2056 Arapahoe street; D. R. Gay, Bank block. All of them are convalescing.

Definite announcement will be made from the pulpit tomorrow. Sunday School Rally Day will be held in conection with Church Attendance day on the first Sunday in November. We hope to join the forces to move the entire community on that day. Special programmes at each service. Attention is called to our Bible Class work. The ladies' class meets on Thursday at 2:30.

THE ELECTRICITY WORKS Connecting the Towns A town without adequate local telephone service is handicapped in the promotion of local commercial and social activities. Likewise, without Long Distance connections, it suffers a severe handicap in its commercial and social relations with other communities. Every business community is entitled to this modern and popular means of transmitting intelligence. In the very nature of our business, and under our charter obligations, it is the duty of this company to afford facilities for Long Distance communication, so far as our ability may permit. We must do this, notwithstanding that the towns are often separated by rugged mountain ranges, and the cost of construction and maintenance is enormous. And every town connected helps to round out our system, thus adding to the value of the service. The Mountain States Telephone & Telegraph Co. SETTLEMENT FAIR AT DEAR-FIELD. The settlers of Dearfield will hold a Settlement Fair on October 15 and 16, 1915. The fair will be held in a large tent 30x50 in the town. Governor Carlson and ex-Governor Ammons, Dr. Lowry, president of the State Agricultural College and Senator Eardhardt, state commissioner of good roads, will open the fair on Friday, October 15. After the opening exercises the governor will award the prizes for the best exhibits. Special rates have been asked for over the Union Pacific railroad, and possibly an excursion will be run from Denver on Opening Day, Friday, October 15, 1915. All who are interested in Dearfield and wish to see the wonderful progress being made by the settlers should attend the fair and inspect the farms and only public school being taught by a colored teacher. The settlers have much to exhibit in crops, poultry, dairy stock, hogs and horses, all raised in the settlement. The ladies of the Missionary Society and the churches will provide meals for the multitude, which proceeds will be divided between the two churches. Admission to the fair, 25 cents. All eastern Colorado colored farmers within a radius of sixty miles of Dearfield are invited to make exhibits and share in the prizes. From $1 to $5 will be charged for exhibit space in tent. Inquirers for space and other particulars should address Dearfield Fair Association, Masters, Colo., Dr. W. A. James, president; Mrs. Robinson, secretary. NEGRO YEAR BOOK.

MEN'S SEWED SOLES .75c LADIES' SEWED SOLES .60c AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Do You Know That- One thing that appealed most to me was a little cottage set off in the corner of the grounds—the center of several acres, surrounded by garden, orchard, poultry yard, barn and pig pen, a home of the humble type, just such a home as work will give to any thrifty Negro; or white man, who wants to live, to make a home, relates a visitor to the Tuskegee institute. This is where every girl in the school has to spend a week during the term. She is given a small amount of cash—40 cents a day, and she has to manipulate with the others living with her during the period, having each an equal amount of change. So as to make a comfortable home for themselves, here is their real lesson in household duties, with a teacher to direct. The house consists of two bedrooms, kitchen, dining room, living room, pantry, bath, front and back porches. The COLORADO STATESMAN IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING The furniture made by the beginners in woodwork, indicating that anybody can make some furniture without much effort, at least with so much wood around have a bed, chairs, tables and a few benches. The windows are draped with cheesecloth, cross-stitched by the girls; the portieres are made from croker sacks or other rough material, dyed by pupils; settees are made the same way; rugs, home made; the students are taught here the care of beds, of closets, of woodwork, disinfecting, dish washing, cooking, setting table and all duties pertaining to housekeeping; they work the garden, gather and prepare the vegetables, care for chickens and the stock, even learn the care of garbage. Connected with the home is a flower garden and a playground. Do our mountain people, do our rural schools have such a chance in life? Why not? I did not go there to find out what the northern capitalists were doing to educate the Negro. I had been told all of this. I knew what money would do. I went there to find out what Booker T. Washington and his wife were doing for the Negro and how the Negro was making use of the opportunity. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Ball and Concert Programs, Bill and Letter Heads, Calling Cards, Wedding Cards, Envelopes and Everything in the Printing Line Turned Out in the Neatest and Best Style Promptly on Short Notice. I did not leave the grounds from the minute I drove in the Lincoln gate until I left for the depot. I ate and slept there in a home reserved by the school for white friends. I was treated with the same courtesy and attention as I have been accustomed to by the Negroes all of my life, and I prouted by the experience and enjoyed every minute of my time. Booker Washington was not there, but his wife was. She had done as much for the uplift of her race as he has. He has financed and planned and she has executed much of the details. She was born in Macon, Miss., educated at Nashville and taught in this institution before she married. We Have Supplied Our Office with New Job Press & Type of Up-to-Date Style and Our Work Will Be on a Par with the Very Best. She is a very intelligent, industrious woman, with a strong purpose, and she is working the details of this problem of the poor and helpless among her people. She hopes to see the day when every Negro is trained to give the best of his sense and energy, when he is certain that work is the only way to attain a great end. She has a handsome home and she keeps it well. She loves the South and speaks with gratitude of her friends in the North. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction This training and environment will in time give to the white people of the South the competent service that was theirs in part; intelligent work is needed in every office. This is a work for the people of both races, as I saw it on my visit. The movement of southern Negroes toward farm ownership has been one of the marked developments of the past decade. Nevertheless, even with a general knowledge of this movement, it is a surprise to learn that one-fourth of all the Negro farmers of the South own the farms they cultivate, and that their total value is $500,000,000. These are the figures offered by Dr. E. C. Branson of the University of North Carolina, who is one of a committee charged with the expenditure of $3,500,000 for the betterment of the Negro. He reports that the colored man is solving his own problem, and is solving it in terms of industry and soil ownership. Negro population in the South is dwindling, says Doctor Branson, except in the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma, but it is increasing in the cities and decreasing in the country. The Negroes are rapidly changing from tenants to farm owners—Boston Transcript. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver Talk about the intelligence of the people is discounted by the fact that a great many of them believe in mad-stones.—Exchange. The Texas sweet potato crop will amount to 10,000,000 bushels tifis this year. But residents of that expansive state are merely irritated by such diminutiveness. They say the figure should be ten times larger. Many of the largest Japanese warships have been equipped with wireless telephones which operate successfully for distances up to 100 miles. Ore found in the Yellow Pine mining district of Nevada contains rich platinum deposits. Illinois day exercises brought the Lincoln Jubilee and Negro Emancipation Semi-Centennial exposition to a close at Chicago. During the four weeks the show has been in progress at the Coliseum 100,000 persons have passed through the doors. Adjutant General Frank S. Dickson, representing Governor Dunne, was the chief speaker. During the afternoon of the closing day the commission in charge of the exposition held a conference with Thomas W. Swann, the Negro deposed as secretary two weeks preious. Swann and his attorney wrestled with the problem of straightening out his books and accounting for money handled by him. It developed that John V. Clinton, the attorney originally employed by Swann, had given up the case. It became known that new bills contracted by Swann without the knowledge of members of the commission had been presented for payment. Total gate receipts during the four weeks of the exposition amounted to about $13,000. The most profitable day was Wednesday, when Mayor Thompson was the speaker. The amount taken in that day was $1,370, representing 5,480 paid admissions at 25 cents each. The cost of the exposition will total approximately $75,000. Of this amount $50,000 was appropriated by the legislature, and the additional amount, exclusive of gate receipts, raised by popular subscription. Our good brother, President Leftwich, who is doing a unique work of phenomenal proportions among the Indians and Negroes of Oklahoma was at the Hammond congress. He spoke briefly at both auditoriums, and was received with enthusiastic applause. No one who hears this humble hero for a moment doubts the feasibility of his stupendous undertaking, or his resourcefulness in carrying it through. Friends who heard him voluntarily contributed $205 of the amount needed to complete his buildings. It is Brother Leftwich's hope that he may be able to extend the helping hand to thousands of young men and women of the Creek Indian and Negro races. President Leftwich is himself an ardent segregationist, and is at work on the problem of lifting these needy races in a sensible way. His program is similar to that of Booker T. Washington, and so good a judge as P. H. Welshimer declares that he is not second to that great leader in fervor, good rense or eloquence. President Leftwich needs $200 or $300 to complete his buildings—$500 would enable him to start in fine shape. The students are there ready for work, and the teachers available. Will not Standard readers supply the needed funds to launch this worthy enterprise? Where are the five men who will give $100 apiece? Let "our folks" speak out.—Baptist Standard. Point Hope, Alaska, which is in darkness during the long arctic winter, will soon have an electric plant. Storms along the coast will be harnessed by windmills to produce the electricity. Paraffin-wax models are made of every new British battleship laid down, and these models are tested in a tank specially erected for the purpose. The survey of the results of half a century of Negro emancipation in the United States, presented in connection with the convention in Boston of the National Negro Business league, contains impressive statistics. The progress has been especially marked in the last fifteen years, as is shown by an advance from 20,000 Negro business enterprises in 1900 to 45,000, from two banks to 51, from 149 wholesale establishments to 240, from 10,000 retail concerns to 25,000. In the shorter period of ten years the value of farm property owned by Negroes has advanced from $177,404,688 to $492,892,218. The Glasgow Tramway corporation took in last year 689 tons of copper and 87 tons of silver in fares. The revenue amounted to more than 1,000,000 pounds, the latter figure being in money terms, however, not avoirdupois. The first Porto Rican to be graduated from West Point received his diploma the other day. His name is Luis Raoul Esteves. Rabbit fur is said to be supplanting wool in felt hat making in Australia, where 32 factories are in operation.

For light duty one of the largest locomotive works in the United States is turning out a locomotive that resembles the coal-burning type in outline, but is driven by an internal combustion engine with oil or gasoline fuel. NEWS and GOSSIP of WASHINGTON Unwelcome Contribution to the Conscience Fund WASHINGTON.—It took some bookkeeping on the part of the division of public moneys of the treasury department to cover into the United States treasury two two-cent stamps received for the conscience fund the a childhood crime. The note accompanying the stamps told that the writer had used a canceled stamp, and now sent double the amount of the pilfer to square the account. There was no signature. The postmark was much obscured, and could be made out only as from the post office of Huntersville, the state not distinguishable. Secretary McAdoo was given an object lesson recently in the newer proverb, "It pays to advertise." He received for Uncle Sam a $300 contribution to the conscience fund from a woman in Maine who wrote: "I have just learned I can send you money for the conscience fund. I have wanted, for 20 years, to pay the duties for smuggling some clothes for a friend who ordered them and wrote me from America saying she could not afford to have them if she paid the duty." The woman further explained that she did not declare the clothes for fear that it would displease her husband, who had always insisted that all dutiful goods be sent in by express. The duty was $67, and it was sent with compound interest for 20 years to make up any deficiency and to pay also for a cheap watch that had been brought in inadvertently. Thought Bryan Was Governor of the District Thought Bryan Was Governor of the District JUSTICE SIDDONS, when examining prospective citizens as to their fitness for naturalization, receives some peculiar replies to his questions. One applicant mistook the happy estate of the District of Columbia as traceable to the pacific views of the former secretary of state on local "politics" and continued his case for six months. Another would-be citizen showed an intimate knowledge of the Newman ouster case, but looked on it as establishing a new precedent. "How are the district commissioners appointed?" asked the court. "By the president," responded the applicant. "Is that all that is necessary before they may enter upon their duties?" was the next question. "No, they must be confirmed by the United States Supreme court," was the ready response of the would-be citizen. National Press Club Takes In Two Presidents THE National Press club has added to its list of highly distinguished members two additional presidents of republics, President Wilson already being a member. The names of Dr. Manuel Estrada Cabrera, president of Membreno are well known to many Washingtonians and to members of the club. President Cabrera is particularly well known by the naval officers who belong to the club, as well as to a number of newspaper men and others who are members, and President Membreno has but recently left Washington after service here as minister from Honduras. While here he was frequently a guest at the club, and president Cabrera has always made it a point to entertain Americans visiting his capital, Guatemala City, many Washingtonians having enjoyed his hospitality Both Doctor Cabrera and Doctor Membreno entered the club not as presidents of republics, but as authors, under which category Woodrow Wilson became a member. Doctor Membreno is one of the distinguished literary men of Central America. He is the author of several works on law subjects as well as of several on the Indian antiquities of Central America. Doctor Cabrera has long been an author of books on economic and political subjects, and he is noted as an authority on Central American history. American Bluejackets Refuse to Wear Pajamas American Bluejackets Refuse to Wear Pajamas THE pajama as the night apparel for the bluejackets has not been popular in our navy. Some time ago stocks of these articles were placed on board ship for sale to the men, but there has been practically no demand for them. The pajama never has been cased. Therefore, the pajama has remained unsought, if not dishonored, in the storerooms on board ship, with the result that this notice has been sent out by the paymaster general of the navy: "It's requested that, as soon as possible after receipt of this letter, the stock of pajamas carried in clothing and small stores be forwarded to the provisions and clothing depot for disposition by sale." This meant that something like a stock of $100,000 worth of pajamas was to be turned in and sold to the highest bidder. "We couldn't wear them because it took so long to climb out," explained one bluejacket. "Our clothes have to be built for speed as well as for comfort.

TALK TO HAWAII WIRELESS PHONE ANOTHER GREAT ACCOMPLISHMENT IN TRANSMISSION OF THOUGHT. ] DISTANCE 4,600 MILES WIRELESS PHONE WILL NOT SUP PLANT PRESENT SYSTEM. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Sept. 29. — Wireless telephone communication across the continent was accomplished for the first time today, when experiments extending over several months culminated in successful transmissions of the human voice by radio from the great naval plant at Arlington, Va., to the station at Mare Island, Cal., 2,500 miles away. The experiments were conducted under direction of Captain Bullard, chief of the navy's radio service, in cooperation with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Western Electric Company. Great Changes Forecast. Secretary Daniels, in announcing the result tonight, predicted that further development of wireless telephony would make great changes in long distance communication, both for military and naval service and in commercial usage. Successful operation of a device for automatically transferring to the radio telephone conversations originating on metallic circuits also was accomplished in today's tests. President Theodore N. Vail and other officials of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company at New York talked easily with the Mare Island station, the conversation traveling over an ordinary metallic line from New York to Arlington and thence by radio across the continent. The use of such long distance wireless telephone communication in naval or military operations is still in an undeveloped state, but it is expected valuable use can be made of this wonderful demonstration. Talk to Pearl Harbor New York, Sept. 30.—That wireless telephone communication from Arlington to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, a distance of 4,600 miles, is now an accomplished fact, was announced today at the offices of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company. Exceeding even in success the transmission of the human voice from Arlington to Mare Island, Cal., a distance of 2,500 miles, accomplished last night, it was stated that subsequent experiments had resulted in successful telephone communication between Arlington and the naval radio station at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The distance over which this wireless communication was held is greater than the distance from New York to London, Paris, Berlin or Rome. The voice had to travel over the whole of the United States, a distance of 2,500 miles, before it encountered the more simple wireless conditions which exist over large bodies of water. For the purpose of this test it was stated that the receiving was done on small wireless antennae erected by engineers of the telephone company by permission of the naval authorities in the Pearl Harbor station. The experiments, it was explained at the offices of the company, are the successful culmination of a series of tests begun last spring with an experimental tower erected at Montauk Point and another at Wilmington, Del., 250 miles apart. Navy's Tests Successful Washington, Sept. 30.—Navy Department officials were enthusiastic today over the experiments resulting for the first time in transcontinental wireless telephone communication. By this means the human voice was successfully transmitted yesterday from the Arlington wireless plant to the Mare Island, Cal., naval station, a distance of 2,500 miles. This achievement, together with the successful operation of a device for automatically transferring to the radio telephone conversations originating on metallic circuits was accomplished after extended tests conducted by direction of Captain Bullard, chief of the navy's radio service, in cooperation with the American Telephone and Telegraph Company and the Western Electric Company. President Theodore N. Vail and other officials of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company at New York, conversed for several minutes in a clear, distinct tone, with the Mare Island station, the conversation being transmitted over an ordinary metallic line from New York to Arlington, and thence by radio across the continent. Southern Storm's Heavy Toll. Mobile, Ala.—The West Indian hurricane, which spent its force against New Orleans, took a toll of at least two score lives and did extensive property damage at smaller cities and resorts along the central gulf coast, according to advises coming in slowly over crippled lines of communication. Unofficial estimates place the property damage in New Orleans from the storm at nearly $2,000,000. It was estimated that at least 150 persons were killed. STATE VALUE BILLION STATE TAX COMMISSION MAKES REPORT OF ASSESSMENTS TO TREASURER Commission Adds $255,444,500 to Figures of the Local Assessors. Denver.—The total assessed valuation of property in the state of Colorado, according to the statement finished by the state tax commission, and which was presented to the state board of equalization on Monday is $1,244,790,554. Of this amount the local assessments returned to the commission amounted to $989,346,054. To this the state body added $255,444,500 property assessed by it, making the grand total as indicated above. The increases in the various county assessments made by the tax commission are as follows: Alamosa county ..... $ Baca county ..... Hertt county Cheyenne county ..... Conejos county Denver county ..... 5 Houglas county ..... Gunnison county Hinsdale county Morgan county Prowers county Rio Grande county To Teach Household Economy. Denver.—Members of the Denver Woman's club will invite the cooks and maids of the city into their own homes this winter in order to help them to learn economical ways in the management of houses. Friendly help along the right direction will do much to make the house maid's work a pleasure instead of drudgery. Dr. Lillian Pollock, chairman of the club's department of social science, said at a meeting of the club: "We have made plans to take these girls into our own kitchens and help and encourage them in every way we can." Dr. Pollock said. "Our domestic science school for working girls will be run as usual, the sessions opening every Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock in the Gas and Electric building. Economy is our watchword this year and the girls who come to the school will be taught how to cook food which the majority of the people of Denver can afford to buy." State's Business Good. Business is better this year than last, at least it is so far as the state of Colorado is concerned. The monthly report of State Treasurer Stocker issued Saturday shows that the receipts of the state land board for September, 1915, were $65,587.16 as against $47,179.52 for the same month a year ago. The se retary of state's office returned fees collected to the amount of $10,749.42, more than double the amount paid in during the same month in 1914. The remittances from the county treasurers totaled $256,326.50, while last year they sent in but $229,229.18 for the same month. Examinations for Mine Officials. Denver. — Examinations by the board of examiners for mine officials' certificates will be held in nine cities of the state during the month of November. The positions to be filled are mine foreman, assistant foreman, fire boss and mine examiner. Candidates for certificates will be obliged to show that they have filled the place for which they wish to qualify, from April 1, 1912, to April 1, 1913, in a capable manner and must bring with them written proof of such statement. The examinations will be held as follows: Glenwood Springs, Nov. 8; Grand Junction, Nov. 9; Gunnison, Nov. 11; Canon City, Nov. 12; Walsenburg, Nov. 15 and 16; Trinidad, Nov. 17-19; Colorado Springs, Nov. 20; Denver, Nov. 22 to 24; Steamboat Springs, Nov. 26. Helen Keller Sends Check. Denver.—Miss Helen Keller, world famous because of her accomplishments in spite of her affliction of blindness, has written to Mrs. Lee Champion, president of the Justice League of Colorado, a letter in which she gives her views regarding the labor conditions in this state and the trial and conviction of John R. Lawson, member of the international board of the mine workers, on a charge of murder. Miss Keller also sent her check for $100 to be used by the Justice League in its present campaign. Angerman on Trial. Denver.—Albert Angerman, 18-year old South Denver boy, was placed on trial in the West Side Court on a charge of highway robbery, and authorities are attempting to show that he was implicated in several of the drug store holdups that are charged to David Tyler, "Candy Kid No. 1." One of the principal witnesses for the state is David Tyler, who is still in the Littleton jail awaiting trial on horse stealing charges. He refused to testify on the ground that he might incriminate himself. Denver.—The argument for and against the mandamus against the secretary of state on a petition to refer the state-wide prohibition law to a vote of the people at the next regular election, closed before Judge Perry of the District Court and the judge reserved his decision. He refused to permit the attorney for the 'home rule' interests, the filers of the petition, to amend his writ so as to include the journals of the Legislature. He said that it came too late, but that he would take judicial knowledge of the records of the Legislature. AMBASSADORS LEAVE SOFIA RUSSIAN, FRENCH, BRITISH AND ITALIANS ASK FOR PASSPORTS. 3.000GERMANOFFICERS GIVEN COMMANDS IN THE ACTIVE ARMY OF BULGARIA. Western Newspaper Union News Service London, Oct. 6.—The Greek crisis, and the severance of diplomatic relations between Russia and Bulgaria are the absorbing features of the war. The Russian, French, British and Italian ministers at Sofia, soon after the presentation of Bulgaria's reply to the Russian ultimatum, requested their passports from the Bulgarian government on the ground that the reply was unsatisfactory. This was followed by a similar request by the Serbian minister. The Times' Saloniki correspondent in a dispatch dated last Tuesday says: The Times Sultanik correspondent in a dispatch dated last Tuesday says: "The landing of the allied troops began this morning and still continues. It is reported that the Bulgarian authorities, for strategic reasons, have ordered the evacuation by the civil population of all towns and villages on the coast of Thrace. Three thousand German officers, it is stated, have arrived in Bulgaria. All received commands in the active army. The project for the transfer of the Ottoman capital to Brusca has caused a dispute between the German staff and the Turkish crown prince Yushof Izzedin, who opposed the idea. Although there is heavy fighting on the western and eastern battle fronts, the latest moves on the diplomatic chess board in the Balkans—moves which admittedly will have an important bearing in the great world war game—are holding the attention of the universe." Divided by the avowed determination of the King of Greece not to assent to the ultimate policy of Premier Venizelos and a majority of the Parliament that Greece should come to the aid of Serbia, her treaty ally, the populace of the Hellenic kingdom has taken sides for and against the war. King Constantine has asked Alexander Zaimos, a former premier, to form a Cabinet. Whether King Constantine will be able to keep his country out of the meshes of the war against the wishes of the followers of Venizelos is still to be answered. Behind Constantine is said to be the Greek general staff and the court party. PRESIDENT WILSON TO WED. Engagement to Mrs. Norman Galt An nounced at White House. Washington, Oct. 6.—Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, announced tonight his engagement to Mrs. Norman Galt of Washington. The date of the wedding has not been fixed, but it probably will take place in December at the home of the bride elect. The brief announcement from the White House made by Secretary Tumulty came as a surprise to official Washington, but to a number of intimate friends it has long been expected. From this circle came tonight the story of a friendship whose culmination was viewed as a happy turn in the troubled and lonely life of the nation's chief executive. Colorado Dry Law Sustained. Denver.—The act of Secretary of State Ramer in refusing to refer the statewide prohibition law passed by the last Legislature to a vote of the people of Colorado at the next general election, was upheld by Judge Perry of the District Court. Judge Perry held that it was not within the province of a court to go behind a law regularly passed by the Legislature. Dead at 102. Paris.—Francois Fertiault, dean of the Society of French Authors, died in Paris at the age of 102. State Asked to Seize Mines. Tucson, Ariz.—A resolution calling on the state board of control to seize the mines and smelters at Clifton, where 8,000 miners are on strike for recognition of the union and a higher wage scale, and operate them under the industrial pursuit act adopted by the initiative at the last election, was passed by delegates to the Arizona Federation of Labor which is holding its convention here. Emperor Francis Jessef III. Rome.—It is said on good authority here that Emperor Franz-Josef of Austria is dangerously ill and that the crown prince has been called to Vienna. Baron von Burian, the Austro-Hungarian foreign minister, and Count Tisza, the Hungarian premier, also have been called to the capital. The news, it is stated, has been kept secret for fear of the influence it might have upon the international situation. SKIM MILK AS FOOD ECONOMICAL SOURCE OF NOUR- ISHMENT MANY OVERLOOK. Butterfat the Only Nutrient in Whole Milk That Is Lacking in Skim Milk—Extremely Valuable in Cooking. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The possibilities of skim milk as a human food have been rather neglected, according to specialists in the United States department of agriculture. Butterfat is the only nutrient in whole milk that is lacking in skim milk; practically all of the mineral substances, carbohydrates and protein remain in the skim milk. Because of the large proportion of the protein in it, skim milk, like whole milk, may be classed with such foods as eggs, meat, fish, poultry and cheese. Protein not only serves as fuel for the body—a service performed also by fats, sugars and starches—but also supplies nitrogenous tissue-building material. Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain almost as much protein and yield about as much energy as a pound of round of beef. A quart of skim milk contains more than twice as much nourishment as a quart of oysters which cost several times more. An economical and profitable combination is an oyster stew made with skim milk. In cooking there is indeed little or no difference in taste between skimmed and unskimmed milk. In the making of cereal mashes, for instance, the use of skim milk in place of water adds greatly to the nutritious value, particularly by raising the amount of tissue-forming materials. In making milk soups, chowders, custards and cakes, also, it can be profitably used. In chowders the lack of fat is made up by the use of salt pork. The following recipe for corn chowder calls for no ingredients that are difficult to secure and will be found attractive and nourishing. One can of corn or one pint of fresh corn, grated, four cupfuls potatoes, cut into small pieces, two ounces salt pork, one small onion, chopped, four cupfuls skim milk, one tablespoonful salt, four ounces crackers. Cut the pork into small pieces and fry it with the onion until both are a delicate brown. Add the potatoes and corn; cover with water, and cook until the vegetables are soft. Add the milk and salt, and reheat. It is well to allow the crackers to soak in the milk while the potatoes and corn are being cooked. Some people cook the cobs from which the corn has been removed, in water, and later use this water for cooking the potatoes and corn. In recommending skim milk as food, the fact should always be kept in mind that it has gone through one more process in the course of its preparation for family use than whole milk has—that of separation or skimming. This, in the case of a food material so liable to become contaminated and to be the carrier of disease, is a very important matter, and the consumer should take even more pains than in buying whole milk, to know that it has been carefully handled, particularly if it is to be used raw. The provisions of the food and drugs act and common honesty require that skim milk should be sold for what it is, and never for whole milk. It should be plainly labeled as skim milk. To sell it as whole milk would not only be a violation of the federal food and drugs act, in cases where that law applies, but also a violation of the state law in any state where it might be sold. Blackberry Cordial. Mash the blackberries and cook slowly without water for half an hour. Strain and measure the juice. To each quart add half a pint of sugar, half a teaspoonful of cinnamon, one fourth of a teaspoonful of ground cloves, and half a nutmeg, grated. Boil half an hour, cool and add a gill of brandy. Bottle and keep in a cool place. This is excellent for elderly people or for patients with a tendency to bowel trouble. One-Egg Cake. Cream one-quarter cupful of butter, add gradually half a cupful of sugar, beating thoroughly. Add one egg, well beaten, one and a half cupfuls flour, two and a half teaspoonfuls baking powder, alternately with half a cupful of milk. Beat until well mixed only. Bake in a buttered floured shallow pan, then ice. A Dainty Hint. The odor of soap that often clings to clothes is not at all desirable. A lump of orris root put in the rinsing water for fine pieces such as handkerchiefs, lingerie and blouses will give a delicate violet perfume more permanent than that of the ordinary sachet. Peaches and Rice Arrange a mound of boiled rice in the middle of a dish. Have ready on the ice some sliced, sweetened peaches. Put the peaches around the rice and pour their juice, formed with sugar, over the mound and rice. When Hanging Curtains. Curtains are easily run on brass rods if a thimble is first placed on the end of the rod. Peaches and Oranges. For a tempting dessert, slice together peaches and oranges. Sweeten slightly and serve very cold.
