PATRONIZE MERCHANTS WHO ADV. IN THE PEOPLE'S PAPER THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Recognition Of Negro Labor VOL. XX11. Recognit Neg'i Oklahoma City, Nov. 25.—More labor trouble threatens the Ford Motor company's assembling plant now building here. This time it is a question of races. According to O. J. Waller, superintendent for the Hodgins Construction company of St. Paul, which has the building contract, his employers have met the demands of the Common Laborer's union for 25 cents an hour instead of 20 cents and recognition of the union; but the Common Laborers now refuse to admit Colored men to their organization and Waller doesn't intend to dismiss his colored laborers. Waller and J. A. Deigman, local manager for the Ford company, both intimated last Friday that the telegrams of Mayor Overhalser and others to Henry Ford, head of the motor company, in behalf of the laborers' plea were not the cause of the Hodgins company's capitulation. The telegrams were sent by the mayor, City Commissioner Highley, Congressman Joe B. Thompson and J. B. A. Robertson. "We'll take them in as an organization if they give everybody a fair 'shake,' said Waller, 'but if they insist on discriminating between whites and blacks, we won't. I don't know anything about this union business they are all talking about. I never heard of a common laborers' union until I came here. At present we are paying most of the men 25 cents per hour, while a few are getting 20 cents. I'll wager I can go out and within twenty-four hours secure 3,000 men who are willing and glad to take a job here at 20 cents. "I have given employes of this company no orler to join the Hod Carriers' union although I understand a number have done so. When W. D. Hodgins was here a few days ago I understand he said he was willing to recognize the union in its demand that only union men be employed and that the scale of 25 cents per hour be paid. Now the laborers are demanding that we shut out Colored labor and I am opposed to that. Some of them are good hard working men and are as deserving of jobs as some of the white men." Superintendent Waller signified his intention of waiting until Monday night for developments in the case. If the union will recognize the Colored workmen, Waller said the Hodgins Construction company will recognize the union. Waller produced an employe, who a few nights ago joined the --- union, who says that at the meeting at which he was initiated a letter purporting to come from Henry Ford was read. He said it stated that Ford had let the contract to the Hodgins company and was not concerned in whether union or non-union labor was employed that being entirely in the hands of the contractor," he said. WILLIAM H. LEWIS. Ex-Assistant U. S. Attorney General. Boston, Mass.—"You ask me to say a word of appreciation of Dr. Washington. That is no simple task. Words, like tears, are vain and idle things to express the great anguish I feel at the untimely death of Booker Washington. He was my friend who understood me and believed in me. I did not always believe in him, because I did not understand him. I first saw and heard him when junior at Amherst in the early 90s, when he spoke at old John Brown's church in Springfield, where I journeyed to hear him. I could not then appreciate his love for the Southern people and his gospel of work. I even doubted his loyalty to his race. When I came to Boston I joined in with his most violent and bitterter critics. The one thing that I am so thankful for is that I early saw the light and came to appreciate and understand the great work of Booker T. Washington. "I have just finished reading an old letter from him, dated October 1, 1901, in which he said: 'The main point of this letter is to say I believe that both you and I are going to be in a position in the future to serve the race effectually, and while it is very probable that we shall always differ as to detailed methods of lifting up the race, it seems to me that if we agree in each doing our best to lift it up the main point will have been gained, and I am sure that in our anxiety to better the condition of the race there is no difference between us, and I shall be delighted to work in hearty co-operation with you.' "Since then I have known him intimately and well. He was unselfish and generous to a fault; he was modest, yet masterful; he was quiet, yet intense; his common sense and sagacity seemed uncanny, such was his knowledge of human nature. His was a great soul in which no bitterness or littleness could even find a lurking place. His was the great heart of Lincoln, with malice toward none and charity for all. He loved all men and all men loved him. "My humble prayer is that his torch has lighted another among the dark millions of America, to lead the race onward and upward."

DECEMBER 4. 1915 State Hist & Nat Hist Bostons State House ANTS WHO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER COLORADO most citizen of his race. He, of course, wielded a tremendous influence for good among his own people, but his influence was wider than that; it was national, even world-wide. It tended strongly to relieve—even to remove—race prejudice. For many years Booker T. Washington labored hard and unceasingly to educate and to lead his people to a higher and more useful citizenship, and his efforts were wonderfully successful. The example and teachings of Booker T. Washington will long survive, leading his people, and the people of the country generally, to higher and better things. Yours truly, C. W. WATERMAN. Telegrams of Condolence.

WILLIAM G. WILCOX. (Investment Fund Committee, Board of Trustees, Tuskegee Institute.) Oyster Bay, N.Y., Nov. 14, 1915. Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee. Pray accept my deepest sympathy in this deaf or your distinguished husband. No man rendered greater service to his race and his loss can be compared to his. He was the citizens of whom this entire country should be proud. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. French Lick, id., Nov. 14, 1915. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama: was a man of great power and of wide and wholesome in- tensity among his own race but among others. His death is usually a public loss. CHAS, W. FAIRBANKS. (Former Vice President of the U.S.) New York, N.Y. Nov. 15, 1912. Mrs. B. T. Washington, Tuskegee, Ala. I warm with you today as one who shares your sorrow. America has lost one of her best and greatest citizens, History. America has lost one of her father of his country, the other the leader of his race. Mrs. Carnegie joins me in deep sympathy. ANDREW CARNEGIE (Phillanthropist.) White Sulphur Springs, W. Va. Nov. 15, 1915 Emnett J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama; It was very thoughtful to telegraph me directly. Of course I am greatly shocked. This is an overwhelming bereavement for all of us. Convey my sympathy to Mrs. Washington. I hope to see Mr. Low and Mr. Willcox in New York this week. FRANK TRUMBULL, (President Chishaupa County, R.) Trustee Tuskegee Institute. New York City, Nov. 14, 1915 Mrs. Beverley T. Washington, Tuskegee Alabama.

We have all been favored by the privilege of our contact with a noble friend, the dear departed. MR and MRS. ROSENWALD. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 16, 1915. Mr. Emmeti J. Scott, Secretary, Tuskegee University. Please convey to the family of Booker T. Washington my deep sympathy in their sorrow. His death is in what ought to be his prime; an pretender to the man he loved. He is one of the most powerful forces for the proper settlement of the race question that has appeared in his generation. His inspiring encouragement to make themselves individually valuable to the community; his urging upon the home; his virtues on industry, drift and work; his inspiring encouragement to make a promise of higher achievements as a reward—have done more for the Negro race than any other one factor in Washington well and valued him highly as a friend and patriot. He united with a signal power of eloquence and great intellectual force and practical sense which made him the great man he was. I greatly regret his death. WM. H. TAFT. (Ex-President of the United States.) Lakewood, N. J., Nov. 15, 1915. Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee, Alabama; sarm with sorrow of the death of Booker T. Washington in sympathy for you in this sudden and sad bereavement. He rendered invaluable services to his race in a life devoted to their uplift and he was most grateful for the best people in the land. He will be greatly missed and his memory will be cherished with grateful affection for generations to come. NY, N.Y., FEFFLER. A STRIKING CONTRAST. W. E. Burghardt Du Bois, editor of "The Crisis," in his expression of opinion on Dr. Booker T. Washington, said in part: "There can be no doubt of Mr. Washington's mistakes and short comings; he never adequately grasped the growing hord of politics and industry; he did not understand the deeper foundations of human training and his basis of better understanding between white and black was founded on caste. In stern justice we must lay on the soul of this man a heavy responsibility for the consummation of Negro disfranchisement, the decline of the Negro College and public school and the firmer establishment of color caste in this land." Mr. Du Bois continued. "What is done is done. This is no time for recrimination or complaint. Gravely and with bowed head let us receive what this great figure gave of good, silently rejecting abke." William H. Lewis, ex-assistant U. S. Attorney-general, and one of the most brilliant legal luminaries of the country, expressed in the following: "Booker Washington was my friend, who understood me and believed in me. I did not always believe in him because I did not understand him. I first saw and heard him when junior at Amherst in the early 90's, when he spoke at Old John Brown's church in Springfield, where I journeyed to hear him. I could not then appreciate his love for the Southern people and his gospel of work. I even doubted his loyalty to his race. When I came to Boston I joined in with his most violent and bitterest critics. The one thing that I am so thankful for is that I early saw the light and came to appreciate and understand the great work of Booker T. Washington. Since then I have known him intimately and well. He was unselfish and generous to a fault; he was modest, yet masterful; he was quiet, yet intense; his common sense and sagacity seemed uncanny, such was his knowledge of human nature. His was a great soul in which no bitterness or littleness could even find a lurking place. His was the great heart of Lincoln, with malice toward none and charity for all. He loved all men and all men loved him. "My humble prayer is that his torch has lighted another among the dark millions of America to lead the race onward and upward." Compare their contrast, the views of these two leading colored Americans, gentle reader, and think what type of man would be better to entrust the destiny of our race in their hands. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Manager John T. Gibson, of the Standard Theatre, had his flag at half mast Monday morning and will keep it so for 30 days in honor of our deceased leader, Booker T Washington. Minneapolis, Minn., Nov. 21.—Following close on the decision in the Hennepin county district court which resulted in stopping the production of "The Birth of a Nation" at the Shubert theatre, the St. Paul City Commission revoked the license for the presentation of the film there. The film had been showing for two weeks. When the license was issued there was a promise to cut out certain features that were objected to by Negroes. These objectionable features were not cut out, according to members of the St. Paul commission. It was on the ground of a violation of the promises made that the film was barred in St. Paul.

Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 19.—The burning of the Booker T. Washington school and many homes in that vicinity marks the new line of attack of our formidable and murderous foe, race prejudice. The site of the school is Thirteenth and Myrtle str et, and an excellent one; the building was modern and upon the cottage order, and there were 250 children who attended. The East Side Improvement company has endeavored without success to purchase this property, together with other homes owned in the neighborhood. Mr. George Williams, who lives near the school, coming home about 11 p. m., discovered a fire at the school, and looking toward his home he saw that it, too, was ablaze. Alarm was given, but too late to save the buildings that had been fired, it is believed, by designing hands. A TRIBUTE TO BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Written November 15, 1915. Oh Death, why art thou so cruel— Why dost thou claim our most precious eve? Have we not been loyal to our trust, Or, have we to our race been unjust? You've robbed us of our beacon light, Have rest would shine through end- less night; Amidst storms of discouragement it shone; Oh, Death, why claimest him as thy own?

Western Newapaper Union News Service. Victor, Colo.—At the 1,300-foot level in the Ajax mine on the south side of Battle mountain, the deepest workings in that property, an‘immense body of bonanza gold ore has, been opened. It is a heavily mineralized phonolite dike carrying numerous “vug” holes which are lined with high-grade calaverite. Grab samples give returns ranging from 25 to 30 ounces in gold to the ton, and some of the ore is said to re- turn thousands of dollars per ton. The discovery was made on company ac- count entirely, and is the richest and the most important made in the mise for a number of years, being especialiy notable because of the fact that the o1e-shoot is located at a greater depth than commercial ore has ever before been developed in the Ajax. ‘The shoot is about sixty feet from the main shaft, and the find was the result of sinking a winze at that point. ‘Thus far a cross-cut driven into the dike has gone to a width of close to thirty feet and is still in rich ore, the probability being that the cross-cut | will go a considerable distance turther “before the true wall of the vein is reached.

The ore bodies in the Vindicator are said to look unusually good and in the last few weeks the company has opened fis No, 1 vein north of the main shalt for a distance of 350 feet with an average width of twenty feet. The ore shows an average of about $30 to the ton. 5 Points Cafe UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT.

Longmont.—W,. H. Dickens, banker and merchant, said to be the wealthi- est resident of Longmont, was shot and killed about 8 o'clock Tuesday evening: while seated in the library of his home at Third avenue and Coffman street. The bullet, fired from a high-power rifle, came in through a window, went entirely through Dickens’ body and imbedded itself in a brick wall. Mr. Dickens and his wife were seated in the library after supper, both reading. Mrs. Dickens heard the snap of breaking glass, a splinter from the broken pane struck her on the cheek, inflicting a slight wound, and the same instant she heard a slight groan from her hus- band as he fell back in his chair. Mr. Dickens lived perhaps ten min- utes after he was shot, but he was unable to speak in that time, and could give no intimation, if he had ‘any suspicions, of whom the assassin ‘might be. Immediate search of the neighbor- hood was made without discovering the least clew to the assassin. | PHONE MAIN 3028 RES. PHONE GALLUP 9423 | JOHN K.

THE HIGH COST OF LIVING AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS it took three years of training at Hampton institute to bring me to the point of being willing to sing Negro songs in the presence of white people. White minstrels with black faces have done more than any other single agency to lower the tone of Negro music and cause the Negro to despise his own songs. R. Nathaniel Dett, director of vocal music at Hampton, says: "There is no more lamentable tendency among certain people than the disposition either to despise Negro folk songs altogether or else use them as means of race caricature; neither is there any practice that should be more condemned. America has no more valuable heirloom, from a historical, traditional or musical standpoint than these folk songs. For this reason it should be the duty of all, especially of Negro musicians, to do everything possible to bring the songs in their proper and full appreciation. Negro music has suffered sufficiently already through ragtime and popular minstrels, and any further attempt to keep Negro music on this low level should be met with the indignant protests of all serious-minded people. "It is imperative, in my opinion, for people who are sincerely interested in the Negro and his one unmistakable contribution to American civilization to use every opportunity to dignify the music of this people, not merely by encouraging the Negro to sing his folk songs in their truly beautiful primitive form, but also by encouraging him to show their possibilities for use as themes for anthems, oratorios and even operas. This will do more than anything else to dignify them in the estimation of educated Negroes."—Southern Workman. "Success depends upon ability to do something useful, to perform sor- kind of service that the world wants. Teach the Negroes how they may best help themselves; then no one will need to help them." Such is the kernel of the teachings of Booker T. Washington, who was born a slave and died the leader of his race. He did more than any other one man to solve the race problem of the South, and he devoted his energies to educating his people in the practical and industrial pursuits of life. The message which for 33 years he expounded was that the Negro should learn to work skillfully, to acquire property, own his land, drive his own mule hitched to his own wagon, milk his own cow, raise his own crop and keep out of debt. That was the doctrine that took form at Tuskegee, a school that is nothing short of a mammoth laboratory in which a race problem is being worked out, a public service institution developed by a man who was born in bondage and whom three presidents of the United States called their friend, whom university presidents spoke of as "confrere," and to whom Andrew Carnegie once applied the phrase—"The combined Moses and Joshua of his people." Washington was born in Franklin county, Virginia, in 1858 or 1859—he was not sure of the date or the place, and of his ancestry he knew almost nothing. "My mother," he once wrote, "I suppose attracted the attention of a purchaser who was afterward my owner and hers. Of my father I know even less than my mother. I do not even know his name." When freedom came through Lin- The first Alabama Negro state fair at the Tidewater park, Birmingham, Ala., after a ten days' program of attractions and exhibits, was said to equal any of the kind ever before held.

The devil doesn't expect to be invited into the parlor the first time. colin's proclamation Booker was put to work by his stepfather in a West Virginia salt furnace. Schooling was intermittent. He learned his first written symbols on a salt barrel. He obtained work in a coal mine and later made his way to Hampton institute, where he worked his way through and was given a place on the faculty. Then Tuskegee institute was started by the joint efforts of Col. George w. Campbell, an ex-slave owner, and Lewis Adams, an ex-slave, both of Tuskegee. They conceived the idea of establishing a normal and industrial school for Negroes. They wrote to Hampton institute for a man to take charge of the work. Booker T. Washington was sent. This was in 1881, and Washington began work with a dilapidated shanty and an abandoned church as the school structures and only 30 pupils. Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barrett said: "Our race has lost its greatest leading man. Booker T. Washington was great not only as a race leader but he was one of the greatest orators—I mean oratory in its broadest sense, and he was the peer of any publicist before the country today. "As a constructive force on the lines of industrial education he was the equal of any living educator. We are wonderinw where we will find his successor. There is no Negro before the public today who has the confidence of the influential white people that Dr. Washington had, and that is what makes our loss so great. The natural separation between the two races can be bridged only by one who is in ready communication with both sides." Col. Theodore Roosevelt made the following statement on the death of Booker T. Washington: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who rendered greater service to his cwn race than ever had been rendered by anyone else, and who, in so doing, also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." The exposition at Chicago, August 22 to September 16, in celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the colored race, included an exhibit of more than a thousand patents which have been granted to those of that race. Manifestly the list is incomplete, as it is impossible to determine from the patent office records whether an applicant and patentee is white or colored, but much effort was made by Henry F. Baker, who was detailed by the commissioner of patents in charge of the patent exhibit to make it as complete as possible. Mr. Baker, himself a colored man, is an assistant examiner in the patent office, having entered such office in January, 1876, as a copyist. He was appointed to the examining corps in March, 1883, and has been promoted from time to time to his present position as second assistant examiner. Another colored man, Edwin O. Clarke, was appointed to the examining corps in August, 1893, but resigned to accept a professorship in a college. A man thinks he has many sins of omission and but very few of commission. However, the less a man talks, the more he doesn't have to apologize. All the southern states have separate schools for white and colored children. In 1913 there were 426 separate Negro schools in the South, viz., 156 public high schools, and 270 private high schools, normal schools, colleges and other schools. The following 'states had separate high schools for Negroes, viz. Alabama, 6; Arkansas, 4; Delaware, 1; District of Columbia, 1; Florida, 6; Georgia, 14; Kentucky, 8; Louisiana, 1; Maryland, 1; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 14; North Carolina, 3; South Carolina, 13; Tennessee, 9; Texas, 37; Virginia, 4; West Virginia, 5.

The peace of the City and County of Denver is threatened with a serious disturbance; the harmony existing among its citizens is about to be discordant; the co-relationship in business will be greatly menaced and the kind feelings between the white and colored races in their position as residents of the Queen City of the Plains are about to be severed. Can anything be done to check this "advance guard" invading our city, the result of which will be the destruction of the pillars of our American principles and the resurrection of HATE which has been to a certain extent suppressed by the American people who stand for LAW, ORDER and JUSTICE? Surely no self-respecting member of Denver's population who realizes the significance of living under the Stars and Stripes will support any action that tends to create and engender strife among a loyal and liberty-loving people as we boast of in this portion of our great Republic, and, therefore, from our impressions of this picture-play, "The Birth of the Nation"—an exhibition of which has been prevented in many of the cities of the country, and where it was permitted there were the results of riot, bloodshed, upheaval of the municipal government, etc.—we must concede that if our authorities will place the O. K. on it, giving it a free hand to exhibit, that the effect will be so demoralizing to the community as a whole that a blot of extraordinary dimensions will be forever placed to the credit of Denver's fair name. The following quotation from Rev. William H. Brooks, pastor of St. Mark's Episcopal Church, New York, one of the largest and most fashionable churches, is a guarantee to all right-thinkers of the terrible harm that can result from this play being shown here; and no citizen should have the slightest hesitation in using every effort and influence to bring about the veto from the authorities: "The Birth of a Nation,' a travesty on history, a breeder of racial antipathy, magnifying the faults of one race while glorifying the lawlessness of the other, peculiarly dangerous because its insidious poison is hidden in scenic beauty—outlawed in some states, condemned in some others—this play with its objectionable features was condemned by His Excellency, the Mayor of New York, the Commissioner of License, by the entire race so grossly maligned, by able representatives of the Jewish, Roman Catholic, Universalist and most of the Protestant faith." These words coming from a man as Dr. Brooks, who has materially helped to mould and shape public opinion in the City of New York, must be given some weighty recognition, and we feel-sure must stir the hearts of real American citizens to unite for the suppression of that which is a stigma on our civilization. Petitions, protests, delegations should flood the office of the Mayor and other City Commissioners, expressing our utter disapproval of the exhibition of this picture, and as we have a city ordinance which gives our municipal fathers the right to act, we trust they will rise to this occasion which is of paramount importance and defeat the introduction of anything in this city which will break the links in the chain which every citizen, irrespective of class, creed or color, has helped to make. A FRIEND IN NEED. which is threatening the For-constructed In Oklahoma City somewhat different from the use of wages and reduction of work in the job with their colored man, superintendent of the Ho The labor trouble which is threatening the Ford Motor Company's assembling plant, being constructed in Oklahoma City, has its origin in racial differences. This is somewhat different from the usual troubles, as this time it is not for increase of wages and reduction of working hours, but a refusal of white men to be on the job with their colored brothers. Messrs. O. J. Waller and J. A. Deigman, superintendent of the Hodgins Construction Company of St. Paul and local manager for the Ford Company, respectively, in granting the recognition of union labor, made it clearly understood that they were opposed to the shutting out of colored labor, and emphasized the fact that some of the colored laborers were good, hard-working men, and were deserving of jobs as some of the white men. Superintendent Waller further stated that if the union will recognize the colored workmen, the Hodgins Construction Company would recognize the union. The discovery made by us is, that in the ranks of labor unions the color line is drawn, and yet in their agitations for betterment of their position they solicit sympathy indiscriminately and request everyone to advocate and espouse their cause. After their success and due recognition given them, then a little reflection brings to their memory the old sore—RACE PREJUDICE. But, thanks to such friends of ours who are bent on dealing with our merit and qualities rather than COLOR, for which we are irresponsible. While the two gentlemen aforementioned have played their parts, yet it is evident that Mr. Ford gave them absolute power to act in the employment of workmen, and, therefore, being free to act, they put into effect what they believe is fair to all. We, therefore, offer our gratitude to Mr. Ford and his representatives, assuring them that such actions set the example for others to follow, which, if taken advantage of, will demolish the iron rule of prejudice which we hope will soon be a thing of the past. "A friend in need is a friend indeed." Dr. Washington, the Builder Of Tuskegee The following address was delivered last Sunday at the Memorial Services of Booker T. Washington, by Atty. A. W. Lewis at Shorter Church, Denver, Colorado: Some thirty odd years or more ago Mr. Booker T. Washington conceived the idea of dedicating an institution to industrial education. In the year Eightgen Hundred Ninety-three his idea was incorporated under the style and name of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. But I think his idea is more celebrated by the name, Tuskegee; hence my subject: "Dr. Washington, the Builder of Tuskegee." Tuskegee is a school that Mr. Washington built in order to promote a more liberal and practical education of the masses of his race in letters, morals and the industrial pursuits of life. I shall refer only in a general way to the bitter opposition which took shape in a multitude of attacks upon the supposed curriculum of Tuskegee. The conceptions of the critics concerning what an industrial institute ought to embrace were vague in the extreme, and it was hard for them to see why such a school was so necessary to a race in its building. There was much unfavorable comment and many skeptical pronouncements concerning Tuskegee from the lips of the reputed learned ones. In his chosen work nothing seems to have discouraged Dr. Washington in the slightest degree. Of Tuskegee he knew himself to be the acknowledged founder, the responsible builder, and certainly he was conscious of being its destined protector. So he founded Tuskegee in humility, he builded it by painful labor, he dedicated it to civilization as it is promised, and all his life with unparalleled devotion he protected it against the slightest enmity. It was said he was visionary. I know his vision embraced a reality of enlarged and additional buildings, increased lands, augmented treasuries, demands for scholar ships Tuskegee could not find room to place, a crowded march of alum ne vindicating the right of Tuskegee to a place in the sisterhood of the world's greatest schools. In the building of Tuskegee no pilanthropy favorable to his educational plan escaped his call, no law beneficial to Tuskegee escaped his scrutiny, no opportunity to increase the friendship for Tuskegee ever lost his service. With prophetic vision he found Tuskegee benefactors—South, East, North, West, and good will everywhere. These are some of the positive fundamentals in Mr. Washington's building of Tuskegee. Thus Tuskegee was opened in the year Eighteen Hundred Eighty-one with three buildings and one hundred acres of land pursuant to an Act of the Alabama Legislature, session of Eighteen Hundred Eighty. Tuskegee now consists of one hundred eleven buildings or more, about four hundred head of live stock, farm implements, school equipment, twenty-three hundred fifty acres of land and a permanent endowment of more than two millions of dollars, placing an approx imate total valuation upon Tuskegee of four millions of wealth. This material progress standing alone as the work of a brief life time appeals to me as nigh colossal. But Tuskegee as an intellectual accomplishment far surpasses its marvelous material progress. Tuskegee as a spiritual achievement is one of the crowning events of the twentieth century; first, because it taught its students how to live and why to live; second, because it taught the art and divinity of labor in a land where the art thereof was dying and the divinity thereof, denied; third, because of its celebrated and accepted interpretation of the needs of a race and the things that build the nation; fifth, because of its singular adaptability of industrialism to the needs and demands of its students though they have come from the ends of the earth. I believe the world will one day in some way pay fitting tribute to the matchless genius of Dr. Washington, the builder of Tuskegee. He has vindicated the prophesy of the poet of half century ago who said, "To the solid ground of nature Trusts the mind that builds for aye." WHAT THE LIFE OF DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON STOOD FOR: WHAT HIS WORKS STAND FOR. By Wm. E. Miller, Class of 1907. The life and works of Dr. Booker T. Washington stood and stand for far more than the general public has any idea. I find that the people in the far North, far Northwest, and far West have only a faint idea of his true worth to the colored race. I have heard people actually brand him as a rascal whose only ambition was to stand high in the estimation of the white race, disregarding altogether the welfare of teachers and students at his institution. I quickly remembered that it was well and good to argue with a man who knows, and knows he knows, what he is talking about; but simply nonsense and wasted time to argue with a man who knows not, and knows not that he knows not what he is talking about. In my travels over the country, both North and South, I find that the Southern people, both colored and white, have a higher knowledge of his greatness, and a greater appreciation of his true worth. The natural reasons are: That by being closer to the institute they are amid his influences; there are more students from the South at Tuskegee than from any other portion of the country; there is a greater field of activity in the South for the Tuskegee graduate and undergraduate; and all the little sub-Tuskegees that are scattered over the South wield a mighty influence for Tuskegee Institute, the mother-school Dr. Booker T. Washington was one of the many men of the colored race whose life was truly worthy of emulating and exemplifying. The fact that he was the first man to conceive the colored people's need and materialize his conception in the form of an institution for the education of heads, hands and hearts of the black people, make him the greatest man the race has ever produced. The great extent of his works, such as branch institutions, the department for the development of rural farmers (this work was carried on very extensively in the Southern rural districts), his organization of conferences and leagues for the betterment of the black race made his life one grand star whose brightness far exceeded the others in illumination. The fact that he was wise enough to keep the academical course at so suitable a standard that it would always be possible for the poorest and humblest of men and women to enter the institution and work out an education and trade without cash renders him by far the greatest thinker of the past and present. Having an eye single to the welfare of the mass of the people, he would not raise the curriculum of the institute to a college or university. Notwithstanding the fact that he could have done so with ease, for there were influential minds that urged and beset him to do so. His life as a worker stood as a star, a light, an example, after which no man could feel abashed to exemplify. The purpose for the establishment of Tuskegee Institute was: First, to educate the head; second, the hand; third, the heart—the head being considered the most important. There are thousands of colored people in the South on farms and in other industrial walks of life who are unable to read, write, and figure. Slavery has deprived them, and the effects of slavery has deprived many of their posterity of these blessings. These people are at the mercy of their employers. The man who employs them has to read, write, and cipher for them, and in nine cases out of ten he cheats them also. Education of the head throws around the colored man a certain amount of protection. It enables him to do these things for himself. It enables him to do all his business, such as domestic computing, commercial accounting and banking, etc. Since education is power and wealth is power, it affects the colored man like it does all other men. It gives him a desire to acquire and own property, to build and live in finer and better homes. It makes him a respectful and useful citizen of and to his community. Dr. Washington's idea in teaching the trades and professions was for the above named reasons, and not, as many people think and have said of him. Many people think his purpose for teaching the trades was to show that the colored man was intellectually inferior to the white man, and that his duty was to labor solely with his hands, and that he was not by nature as good as the white man. Now, good people, these thoughts were strangers to him, as far as his work was concerned. He did not cherish nor hint at such ideas. His true ideas were to enlighten the colored man, to advance him morally, industrially and religiously, and to acquire wealth and good citizenship. When the colored man has acquired these, then he will be in a better position to demand those things which he sees fit to demand, and achieve those things which rightly belong to him. To further verify my statement in saying that the establishing of Tuskegee Institute was on the fundamental basis of head education and is still on that basis, I will cite the following facts: When a student comes to Tuskegee Institute and is intellectually unable to enter the "C preparatory class" (which is equal to the first grade in other schools), he goes to the kindergarten department of the institution. If he is too large to enter the kindergarten with the children, he returns home. His trade or desire for a trade is given no consideration whatever until he makes and enters a class in the academic department. There is no instance where a student is given a trade without his being in the academic department, unless he makes a sufficiently high enough class to warrant that he is competent to go through life without any more education, and in that wise he has to make "Senior Class," or class next, which is known as "A Middle Class." Then he gets his trade without taking the academic course. Such students are called "Special Students." And taking the trade without the academic course is called "Specializing." All the common, honorable and life-sustaining trades are taught at Tuskegee Institute; from "housekeeping" in the department of Domestic Science, to "farm management" in the department of Scientific Agriculture. From the "office boy" up to the professional arts on the academic side, and a few of the professions are also taught. Gospel ministers, trained nurses and veterinary surgeons complete their courses there. Medical doctors, pharmacists and lawyers begin their courses there, but finish at other institutions that are more extensively and especially equipped for such studies. Every student, both male and female, is privileged to enter the Phelps Hall Bible training department. This department is especially designed and wholly devoted for and to religious work. It is there that the young ministers receive their theological training, and the elder ministers, missionaries and other religious workers likewise. Religious speaking and prayer-meetings are held every Friday night in the several assembly rooms on the campus, conducted wholly by the students. Christian Endeavor meetings, Young Men's Christian Association and Young Women's Christian Association meetings are held Sunday mornings and afternoons. All these services are optional with the students, but all of them are well attended. The following are compulsory: Nightly chapel devotional exercises, except Friday and Saturday nights; Sunday preaching services and Sunday School. These last three, the students MUST attend or give some very good excuse for not attending. Six long years have I sat under the sounds of Dr. Washington's voice drinking in his free, welcome, and wholesome instructions; six years I diligently trod the paths of academical, industrial and religious work; six years I was completely surrounded by no other environments but his. In those six years I learned something of his true worth. I learned that the closer one is connected with him the more they knew about him. I learned that the teachers knew more of him and feared him more than the students. And when I hear a man say that his work was for a selfish purpose I feel sorry for that man, and say "O, Father, forgive this man, for he knows not about what he is talking." The life of Dr. Booker T. Washington stood for the uplift of all humanity, and the moral, intellectual, industrial and religious advancement of the colored race. His works stand as a great beneficent movement of testimony proving to the world that the world is better off as a result of his having lived in the world. Natural Conclusion.

Post Bld FIRE CAPTAIN'S • STATEMENT • CAPT ROMAN CHEMICAL Co.: DEAR SIRS: Having taken your medicine with such good results, I wish to inform you what effect it had upon me. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indigestion and liver trouble, and was later told by them that an operation would be necessary. I took all kinds of medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was such that I was forced to allow the physicians to hold a consultation, at which the consensus of opinion was that an operation would be the only relief for me. My mind was made up to have same performed, and had decided to go to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my intentions and advised me not to go to the expense, trouble and probably the loss of my life, when a cure could be effected by the use of your Remedy. I took a bottle which swept a greenish mass from my system, including a number of genuine gall stones. Thank heaven, I took my friend's advice about your wonderful Stomach and Liver Preparation. Symptoms in my case were clouded brain, coated tongue, sluggish on rising in the morning, had gas on my stomach, and oftentimes had pains in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am employed by the Nashville Fire Department and will always recommend your medicine. CAPT. F. M.

The Colorado Statesman takes this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Westbrook, who, in his capacity as physician in Denver for a number of years, rendered the best services to the community, especially viewing the fact that this is the first appointment of its kind to a man of Color in the history of the city. Mrs. Julia Hubbard and Mrs. Norah Drake were appointed matrons of the Woman's Public Comfort Station at the Federal building, 16th and Arapahoe street, by Commissioner Pitcher. These popular and well respected citizens of many years residence in Denver and regular taxpayers for a long time, can be relied upon for faithful services and satisfaction. --- MASS MEETING AGAINST "THE BIRTH OF A NATION," SHORTER A. M. E. CHURCH, TUESDAY NIGHT, DECEMBER 7. A mass meeting under the auspices of the Colored Protective League, Colored Citizen's League, and National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, will be held at Shorter A. M. E. church to protest vigorously against the exhibition of the moving picture, "The Birth of a Nation," on Dec. 12. The circular letter sent to our office specially requests all self-respecting men and their families, who would be protected from insult and who will join any movement to formulate plans to defend their rights, to be present. Invitation is also extended to every citizen, every minister and congregation, every secret or fratral society, every woman's club, and every other organization among us to be present and to take part. An appeal to the city commissioners, who have the power to suppress such photo plays as "The Birth of a Nation," will be made, which will entitle us to protection against denial of our civil rights and the disgraces constantly heaped upon us.

Sermon topics Sunday, Dec. 5th: 11 a. m.—"Life in Eden." 5 p. m.—"Woman's Missionary Program." The services last Thanksgiving day were all that could be desired. Every feature of the program was satisfactorily discharged. Rev. L. B. West, who happened to be in the city from his charge at Dearfield, substantially supported the services. Rev. Thos-Hazell preached the sermon from the theme, "A Summons to Praise God." The offertory was pleasing. Total contribution for the week was about $60. Mrs. Lilly Hughes very effectively read the Thanksgiving proclamation. The music was appropriately rendered for the occasion. We desire to thank the ladies of the church and the friends for their efforts to make the Thanksgiving services as well as the other features of the day's program such a success. The attendance was not up to the average of last Sabbath, neither in the Sabbath school nor at divine services. Every one is urged to make good during the winter months with regards to their obligation along the line of Christian effort. Three special pulpit deliveries preparatory to Christmas sermon will be preached from the pulpit of the People's church beginning tomorrow by Rev. Thos-Hazell.

The team workers of the Young Men's Christian Association are busy with their preparations for the great membership campaign which will be set in motion on Thursday, December 9th, for 500 men and 100 Boys. Meetings are held every two or three evenings to take counsel with each other, and to assist in perfecting the plans. Eight teams are preparing to invade the homes and lodging houses of Denver, and to enroll every man and every boy of association age into the membership of the branch. There will be six teams of men and two of boys, with at least ten workers on each team. These workers are all lined up under a central head, with a captain and lieutenant over each team. The workers are responsible to their captains, and the captains are all responsible to the general chairman. The headquarters of the campaign will be in the vacant store at 2733 Welton street. There the clans will meet each night at 7 o'clock for supper, and to render their reports for the day, and for assignment of work for the following day. Already enthusiasm is running high among the rival teams, the boys being as keenly alive to the situation as the men. The names of prospective members are pouring in every day, and a stenographer and typist is kept busy tabulating them. When seen at the office of The Statesman yesterday Secretary Bell said: "I have never felt so hopeful over anything in my life as I do over this matter. We are going to put this thining over, or know the reason why. Our workers are all lined up, and the majority of them already have in mind the men who are coming in under their solicitation. Five hundred men and 100 boys—that is our goal, and we shall reach it." MEMORIAL SERVICES IN HONOR OF BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. At Shorter's A. M. E. Church, Sunday, Nov. 28, 1915. Crowded to standing room every available seat in the spacious auditorium being occupied, Shorter church presented a scene that will never be forgotten by the hundreds of people who assembled there last Sunday afternoon to pay their respects to the memory of a man who was estimated a great leader and a friend of the race and nation. the services were held under the auspices of the Denver Ministerial Union, and began at 3 o'clock with the Rev. P. J. Price presiding in the absence from illness of the Rev. James Washington, president of the Union. Appropriate hymns were sung, followed by the reading of the Scriptures by Rev. D. E. Over and the offering of prayer. Papers were read touching on Booker Washington's life at Hampton and his loss to the nation, by Mrs. M. A. Ward and Miss Nelsine Howard, respectively. Short addresses were delivered covering the life and work and influence of the distinguished character by Messrs. J. W. Jackson, Thos. J. Bell, Attorneys W. B. Townsend, A. W. Lewis and Rev. D. E. Over, all making great impressions on the hearers. These addresses were interspersed with music by the Morrison Orchestra, vocal solos by Messrs. Y. S. Reid and Wolfskill and a violin solo by Mr. Geo. Morrison, the same adding solemnity to the services. The principal address, "Washington, the Modern Moses," delivered by Mr. Geo. Gross, was an able and fitting tribute to the honored deceased, and the comparisons drawn between the ancient and the modern Moses, embellished with all that eloquence and rhetoric could offer, supported by sterling facts, served as a panacea to hearts that were bowed in sorrow and grief-laden over the loss of this worthy and great man. Mr. Gross in the course of his address suggested a memorial in the form of a Booker T. Washington's Memorial Day which would perpetuate his name as well as a means of information to posterity of a Negro leader of his race who merited the title, "A Modern Moses." A very noticeable feature of the occasion was the presence of the alumnae of Tuskegee Institute, who sat in a group on the left side of the rostrum. After the singing of hymn, How Firm a Foundation," the Rev. R. L. Pope, pastor of the church, pronounced the benediction, and every one seemed grateful to the Ministers' Union for having successfully carried out a program which was a glowing tribute to the memory of one of America's greatest sons.

The secretary was telling how popular the fish were becoming, and how he had advertised them in Wash- ington by sending them to the houses of cabinet officers and other govern- ment officials. * ‘Phen one of the boldest of the newspaper men told the secretary that the velvspaper men were offended because the National Press club had not beer eetved with samples. = “They shall have some,” said the secretary, as he reached for his tele- pifone and called the commissioner of fisherios. ““Thére are several hungry gentlemen in my office,” said the secretary, “They haven't hast any breakfast, and they are flerce enough to start trouble ‘or me. The onty way I can save myself during the next week is to supply them some of the tilofish which they are helping us to advertise. ‘They fave been entirely overlooked in the distribution.” ‘Then there was some conversation about the demand now being larger than the supply, and the secretary said the newspaper men must have a taste of the fish.

Pueblo, ‘Males Vinita Ailetrtn: London, Dec. 2.—Emperor William's visit to Vienna, which coincided with tlie resignation of three of the Aus trian cabinet ministers, is the cause of much speculation. The two events are variously assumed to be connected with the reported effort of Germany to force Austria into a German zollve roin, that is, a trade alliance, a desire of Emperor Francis Joseph to secure a separate peace through the interven tion of Pope Benedict and a rumored dispute between Austria and Bulgaria over the division of Serbian territory.

Persistent hurry can lead to a mind distraction than to a state of circumstances. Perpetual bustle may count for very little in the way of achievement. For the forcanded housewives who made hay while the sun shone or in other words put up fruit in its season, there are dainty dishes which may be prepared with but little trouble all through the winter months. The berries which have been put up without cooking, simply mixing with sugar after crunching will be first Farina With Fruit.—Put a quart of milk on to heat, when boiling add a cupful of farina, stirring until perfectly smooth. Cook until well done, cool, add two beaten eggs, a half cupful of sugar, the grated rind of half a lemon, a teaspoonful of lemon juice and a fourth of a cupful of chopped almonds. Pour into a buttered pudding dish and bake until slightly brown. Serve hot or cold with currants, put up without cooking. Cornstarch Pudding and Blackberries.—Take a tablespoonful and a half of cornstarch, add a half cupful of sugar and mix well, then stir in three cupfuls of rich milk, cook until well done, add a beaten egg and pour into molds. Serve with sugar, cream and blackberries, put up uncooked. Peach Pudding—Mix together a cupful of flour, half a cupful of nut meats, a pinch of salt, two cupfuls of bread crumbs, then add three beaten eggs, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a cupful of sugar and two cupfuls of peaches. Pour into well-buttered molds and steam two hours. Serve with cream Fifteen-Minute Pudding—Take a cupful of sifted flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder, a half teaspoonful of salt and a half cupful of milk. This is usually enough, though it may be necessary to add a little more milk. Beat well and drop into buttered cups, a tablespoonful to each cup, then add a teaspoonful of sweetened, crushed fruit, juice and all (cherries are especially good), then another spoonful of the pudding mixture, and set the cups into a pan of boiling water; cover closely and let them cock for 15 minutes. Then serve with sugar and cream. It is by the real we exist; It is by the ideal that we live. Would you realize the difference? Animals exist, man lives. Victor Hugo Weatherhead Hat C0 TELEPHONE MAIN 3203 The following dishes are favorites and among them you may find the re cine for which you have cipe for which you have been searching. Salmon Loaf.—To a can of salmon carefully flaked and all bones and skin removed, add a tablespoonful of lemon juice, three-fourths of a cupful of bread crumbs, three beaten eggs, a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a third of a cupful of milk, a tablespoonful of butter, melted; mix well and pack in a mold, sprinkle with crumbs, add salt and pepper to season and bake 30 minutes. Serve hot. Potato Cake.—This cake is a great favorite because of its keeping qualities. Cream a cupful of butter, add two cupfuls of sugar, and the yolks of four eggs, well beaten; then add a cupful of cold mashed potato, beat well; then add a half cupful of milk, two cupfuls of flour, sifted, with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, one and a half teaspoonfuls of cloves, a half cupful of grated chocolate; mix well, then add two cupfuls of broken walnut meats, a teaspoonful of vanilla; then fold in the beaten whites, add a pinch of salt and bake in a shallow pan for 50 minutes. Boston Brown Bread.—Mix three-fourths of a cupful each of cornmeal, graham and wheat flour, a teaspoonful and a half of salt, a tablespoonful of soda; mix all together and then add a cupful of buttermilk, a cupful of molasses and then another cupful of sour or buttermilk. This makes two loaves, steam for eight hours. The long steaming adds flavor as well as richness of color. Sweet Potato and Oyster Croquettes.—To two cupfuls of mashed sweet potato add one cupful of oysters, cut in pieces; one cupful of sweet milk. Stir in two well beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne. Form into balls, roll in beaten egg, then crumbs and fry in deep fat.

NEELY HALL (Copyright by A. Neely Heil) THE gifts illustrated below have been designed along very simple lines with the idea of providing articles that can be constructed easily with the tools almost every boy owns. The spool rack shown in Fig. 1 may be made out of a boxboard three-eighths inch thick. The base piece should be cut about $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches wide and 6 inches long, with the top edge 1. SPOOL-RACK 1916 JANUARY 1916 2. CALENDAR BOARD- beveled off all around as shown. Lacking a plane, the beveling can be done by rubbing the edge with sandpaper. The two upright pieces should measure about 3 inches wide and 3 inches high. Cut the sides and top of these on a slant as shown, being careful to get opposite edges equal. If you find it too hard to cut the edges slanted in this way you may leave them straight and possibly round off the top corners instead. After preparing the upright pieces bore a hole through each three fourths inch below the top and large enough for a nail $4\frac{1}{2}$ inches long to slip through. If you haven't a glimlet with which to bore, make the holes by driving a nail through the pieces. The nail forms a spindle for the thread spool to turn upon. Fasten the uprights at the edges of the base block with nails driven through the base into their ends. The size to make the little calendar board shown in Fig. 2 depends upon D C A B E F 3. 4 WHISK-BROOM HOLDER the size of the calendar pad you can get. Various sizes of calendar pads are sold in the stationery stores, and cost two or three cents apiece. When you get the calendar place it upon a piece of wood and mark out around it a design similar to that shown in Fig. 2. A piece of cigar box wood makes a very pretty board, and this wood is easily cut with a sharp knife. Fasten the calendar to the board with small tacks and screw a screw eye into the top edge of the board to hang up the calendar by. The whisk-broom holder shown in Fig. 4 is made of six easily cut strips (Fig. 3). Cigar-box wood will do nicely. Make strips A and B $1 \frac{1}{2}$ inches wide by 4 inches long, C three-fourths inch wide by $4 \frac{1}{2}$ inches long, D $1 \frac{1}{4}$ inches wide by the length of C, and E and F of the same size as C. Nail strips C, D, E and F to the edges of strips A and B, with C, E and F even with the ends of A and B, and the lower edge of D even with the lower edge of C Allow the ends of the strips to project as shown. Screw a small screweye into the center of the top edge of strip D, by which to hang up the rack Stain each gift with one of the modern stain finishes sold in paint stores, or, where you have used cigar-box wood, simply rub up the surfaces with boiled linseed oil (Copyright, by A. Neely Hall.) Clerk—Can you let me off tomorrow afternoon? My wife wants me to go Christmas shopping with her. Do You Know That- (Copyright by A. Neely Hs11) THE shops are full of pretty cretonne-covered articles for a girl's room, and so simple are most of these to make that any girl who works carefully can easily duplicate them for acceptable Christmas gifts for her young friends. First of all, there is a sewing box. The proportions may be whatever you wish. If you don't find a box of the right size at home you can probably get it at the grocery store. The sewing box in Fig. 1 has legs made of strips 2 inches wide, 1 inch thick, and from 14 to 20 inches long, according to the height that you want to have the box. Fourteen or 15 inches is right if you wish to use the box as a bench to sit on. The cover of the sewing box should be wide enough and long enough to project $ \frac{3}{4} $ of an inch over the sides IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF $\textcircled{3}$ $\textcircled{1}$ $\textcircled{2}$ $\textcircled{4}$ Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY all around. Therefore you must use the cover boards from a larger box. Nail a pair of wooden strips across them to hold them together (Fig. 3). These strips can be placed upon the under side of the boards in such a position that they will keep the cover from slipping from side to side, and from end to end, when it is placed upon the sewing box. By making the cover to lift off, you will save yourself the trouble of putting on hinges. 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. Perhaps you can buy a large enough remnant in cretonne for your sewing box. The care with which you put on this covering material will determine whether or not the box will be a success. As a grocery box is more or less rough, and its boards are uneven, it is best to cover the wood with some other cloth, first, for a foundation for the cretonne. Stretch the cretonne over each surface neatly, and use gimp $\textcircled{5}$ 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. tacks for fastening it. Line the inside of the box with plain-colored cambric. Fig. 4 suggests how the inside may be divided off with cloth partitions. In the sewing box illustrated in Fig. 5 we have something of more elaborate form, though it is no more difficult to make. Fig. 6 shows how the frame is built of two upright strips nailed to one side of the box, and two crosspieces nailed to the uprights. The frame need not be higher than a chair back. Fig. 7 shows the box cover boards fastened together with crosspieces.

Two conservative models of coats which are suited to any dress occasion are pictured here. Taking them as a guide, the individual may supply details which will emphasize the ex-cremer modes in collars and sleeves and trimmings. The designs as shown are elegant and not too difficult for the faithful copyist. The straight-hanging coat of ivory-white chiffon broadcloth has a wide boxplait across the back, which makes a folded panel from neck to hem. A narrower plait is laid at each side of it and is stitched down to the belt line. There is a wide collar of marten fur which may be turned high up about the neck, and bands of the same fur finish the cuffs. A cleverly designed belt effect is achieved by setting the side pieces of the coat-skirt in at the waist line, which is long and defined by a piping of black satin. This gives a flare to the skirt. The upper edge of the belt is pointed and piped with satin, and the body is made full at the front, fastening a little to one side. Tempting Neckwear The latest neckwear pieces, antic pating the holiday demand, are among the most tempting things displayed in the shops. Crepe geogette, as well as organdie and batiste, has been employed for making new neckwear, and fine voile is exploited in this best of fields, for its sheerness and dainti ness. Both these fabrics, fragile as they look, are remarkably strong and worthy the careful needlework that claims attention as the best possible decoration for them. Hemstitching, featherstitching groups of tiny tucks, and smocking are charmingly in keeping with the fine fabrics used. Narrow knife pla ting, also, with hemstitched edges makes an exquisite finish for collars and cuffs. Much of the needlework is done by hand, but hemstitched edges or lines are usually machine made and enter into the composition of nearly all neckpieces. When laces are used, very narrow pluny, crocheted laces and tatting provide the best choice, but the plainer finishes seem to be preferred Two pretty examples of neckpieces are pictured above. A small sailor dollar is set on a narrow straight A coat cut on somewhat similar lines is shown in the second picture. It might be made of broadcloth, of heavy jersey cloth, or any of the fabrics mentioned as suited to coats that must be graceful and not too weighty. Two features of this model bespeak for it special consideration. They are the collar and the belt, both very novel and practical. The collar is convertible, but when turned up does not extend entirely across the front of the neck, an item that will be appreciated by the short-necked wearer. The belt of the fabric does not extend across the back, but overlaps a band of satin, which joins the full skirt to the shaped body. Plain pointed pieces are set on to the belt at each side, and the belt dips toward the front. The body is fulled by means of plaits at the waist line and falls in straight lines below the bust. Everywhere is evidence that the designer has worked to produce an effect of slenderness, and the coat is an excellent model for a full figure, on this account. Silk ornaments and buttons of the material finish a design which portrays the present modes in a manner which compels admiration. r for the Holidays band and it overlaps a ruffle of graduated width forming a V-shaped opening at the front. It is made of fine voile with hemstitched edges and an inserted line of hemstitching about an inch from the edge. The second collar is of plain or gandle with a rolled hem and an edge of cluny lace. It is wired at the back and flares from the point of the V shaped opening at the front. A tie of narrow black velvet ribbon is crossed at the front and fastened with a small gold pin. This little touch of black velvet is a feature in the making or finishing of many of the new neckpieces. The contrast of black velvet with sheer white materials is very elegant. The velvet is introduced in a way to make it easily detached when the collar must be laundered. One of the charms of these neckpieces lies in the fact that they return from the wash as fresh as if newly made, and they last a long time. Julia Bottomley ```markdown ``` RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992.
