THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO The Negro A Reliable Asset In War And Peace VOL. XX11. The Neg Reliable War And (By JONATHAN COVER) It is a curious fact of history, so far especially as the Negro is concerned, that notwithstanding the scorn with which he is regarded and the cruel discriminations practiced against him and permitted thru lack of a controlling and dominate sentiment for fair play in the American people, that he is invariably brought forward when an emergency demands The most notable instance of the use or misuse (it depends on the point of view) of the Negro and the one that illustrates the depths of wickedness and injustice to which groups of men in authority as well as individuals may abandon themselves, is afforded in the desperate plight to which the Confederate forces had been reduced towards the end of the Civil War. The slaves in a most intimate and dependable way contributed mightily towards the support and early success of the Confederate cause, as cooks and ladors and in other positions as servants in the field. They were in this way a tower of strength and comfort to those who were seeking to perpetuate their bondage. Beyond and above this, however was the service of loyal devotion to the home and family—the service that gave the dependent women and children meat and drink—the service, by sweat and toil in the cotton fields and on the plantations, that produced the revenue for guns and ammunitions and uniforms. Even to this point history records no more pathetic incident of an ironical fate than is shown in this service of the slaves, given with ungrudging loyalty and in a cause that could spell nothing less than their continued degradation and continued permanent effacement as a possible factor in American citizenship. But the summary of sacrifice was not yet reached—the crowning act of racial self abnegation had not yet been demanded. The supreme need of the collapsing Confedracy urged a recourse to alternatives the most desperate and altogether without precedent. The rigorous demand for men made necessary the stretching of the age limits of service. Eighteen and thirty-five, in a short while proved too conserva- ```markdown ``` tive. Ten years were next added to the latter end and not long before the final crash, boys of sixty were considered to be equally welcome. The Negro soldiers in the northern army gave such an eloquent account of themselves from first to last in the war and especially to wards the end, at Petersburg, New Market Heights and at Clover Hill, that the Confederate Congress in its desperation agreed to impose a last inhuman cruelty upon the slave by making them tight for the "Cause"—in the at tempt to snatch victory from imminent defeat and thus insure his own permanent debasement and bondage. Happily this terrible and unusual sacrifice was not to be permitted for Grant had been coming strong and determinedly and soon brought the bloody struggle to a close at Appomattox. A semblance of this attitude of the old masters has from time to time been reflected in a sinister way, thus a prevailing sentiment of suppression and oppression practised towards Negro Citizens. The fighting qualities of the Negro soldiers are always and everywhere recognized and utilized in the moment of need, but so surely as the need is served and a normal condition resumed he and his people are relegated to a status in which their civic rights are all but entirely overlooked. Ready and willing in all matters of national routine or emergency, he marches without question at the bugle call of duty, either to perform his share in the affairs of civil life or with shoulders squared to forward march in the face of enemy, shot and shell. In this latter service the famous Tenth Cavalry is now engaged along the line at Mexico, ready and anxious to spend their last best effort to punish the murderous invaders of American soil and to vindicate their Nations' honor. It may be, for who can tell, the heroic efforts of the President to keep us out of war may not avail; it may be that our beloved America may yet be forced to take an active part in the sanguinary clash of the powers of the World. How necessary it would be in such an emergency that all elements of our citizenship should be united; every DENVER COLORADO SATURDAY.

Certainly the Negro is a strong and reliable asset. None will this deny. If such he is considered in the shadows of conflict and distress, why not considered so in the sunshine of peace and prosperity. If he shares with others the bur dens of defense Is not equal privilege his reasonable recompense? ATLANTA INSURANCE CO. WRITES $116 500 INSURANCE IN ONE MONTH General Satisfaction was reported from the Standard Life Insurance Company's office in Atlanta this week over the excellent showing made by the company for the month of February. It developed that their agency wrote $116,500 worth of insurance policies for the month just past. While this is not a record breaker, as there have been months that a larger volume of business has been reported, it was encouraging from the fact that February is the shortest month of the year and considered by many as one of the hardest months. In addition to this fifty thousand dollars' worth of business was done for the month. More joy was brought when it was announced that the state of Mississippi had granted the Standard Life Insurance Company license to do business in the state and that complete arrangements had been made to prosecute this work and to throw an agency force in the state. Notwithstanding President Perry has been ill for three weeks and has just reported to the office it comes that no delay has been occasioned whatsoever. —Nashville Globe. CHISUM CONVICTED OF CRIMINAL LIBEL. Guthrie, Okla—In Judge Chappell's court, after a trial lasting ten days, a jury brought in a verdict finding Melvin J. Chisum guilty of criminal libel, leaving to Judge Chappel the assessing of a penalty. The penalty can be $1,000 fine or one year in jail or both, at the discretion of the judge. The case was brought by former President Inman E. Page of Langston University, and was based on alleged libelous statements made by Chisum in his paper published in Oklahoma City. Wm. Graham had already been convicted of blackmail, the charge growing out of the same case. It was charged that Graham approached President Page and suggested that a payment of $400 be made to prevent the publication of the libelous article. President Page refused to make the payment and the article was published. When the article appeared in print, President Page tendered his resignation to Governor, Williams and immediately began the prosecution of the men responsible. His action was based on a desire for vindication, and it is considered that the prompt and --- unanimous action of the jury is full and satisfactory vindication. It was thought probable that with the verdict in his favor that President Page would be reinstated at the head of Langston University in place of I. B. McCutcheon, who succeeded him. But at the March meeting of the State Board of Education, J. M. Marquess, who has been principal of the colored high school at Kansas City, Kan., for the past eight years, was elected to the position. President-elect Marquess is a graduate of Fisk University and Dartmouth College, and his home is at Helena, Ark. His was the only name considered, although there was some sentiment in favor of a local man. But the board thought it best to get an outside man and the majority of the best colored citizens approve their action. WEST INDIANS HONOR MOTON. Major R. R. Moton, principal-elec of Tuskegee Institute, and Mrs. Motion have returned from a short visit to the West Indies, bringing with them many pleasant recollections of their brief stay in Jamaica. They reached New York Thursday of last week on the steamer Santa Marta after an uneventful but enjoyable voyage. Tuskegee's new head seems to have been greatly benefited by the trip, having entirely recovered from the grippe; and although he and Mrs. Motion were the objects of much, social attention at Kingston and Port Antonio, being constantly on the go, the ten days on the water (five days going and five days returning) proved a most effective early spring tonic. Major Moton has nothing but profuse praise for West Indian hospitality, the spirit of good fellowship that exists and of the island in general. Although he has visited many parts of the world, including Naples in italy, he thinks Jamaica the most beautiful of all. Major Moton says the many courtesies shown him and Mrs. Moton during their three-days' stay in Jamaica will not soon be forgotten. Last Saturday Major Moton left on a speaking tour in the interest of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund. He will be in northern New York the greater part of the week.—New York Age. Canon City, March 18.—E. Frankenberry, widely known quarryman here, today purchased for $25,000 cash from W. H. Boyer, (colored) a mining claim at Wellsville, this county. The claim was located for manganese and has been worked for about six months. Recently tungsten ore was uncovered which ran 10 to 15 per cent. The tungsten vein has been opened up for a considerable distance and now discloses a large body of that mineral. Frankenberry, will leave for Pittsburg and New York on Monday to arrange for the sale of the tungsten ore which he will take out as rapidly as possible. Wellsville is on the main line of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad forty two miles west of this city. Character is a mosaic which takes a lifetime for its completion; and trines, the little things of life, are the instruments most used in preparing each precious stone for its place. RACE NEWS GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES Selma, Ala.,—The white people in the extreme South are becoming alarmed over the steady moving of race families who have left during the past few months and the stream is continuing. Every effort is being made to have them stay, but the discrimination and the race prejudice continues as strong as ever. Not many years ago there was a dearth of labor in this part of the county and the steerage passengers from Europe were sought. They cannot do the work of the race men, as they do not understand local editorials in local white papers are pleading with the business men to hold the race men if possible. Copenhagen, Denmark — The recent strike of colored people in Danish West Indies has re opened the old question of the sale of the islands to the United States. A greater sum than $4000,000 must be offered. In 1901 a bill was presented to buy the islands, which were considered of both commercial and strategic value, especially with the completion of the Panama Canal, but the project fell through. The Archipelgo includes the islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John and lie to the east of Porto Rico. The People's Journal, of Glasgow, Scotland, published an interview with Jack Johnson, in which the pugilist is made to say:—"My fight with Williard was a financial proposition. But the story goes back some little way. You can hardly be expected to realize how I was persecuted after becoming champion' Yes, I suffered some at the hands 'dandy' people in America because they could not find a white man to beat me. "Well, they promised me that if I would consent to be defeated by Williard I would no longer be mocked and would enjoy the freedom any other man would. I would be allowed to see my old mother, who couldn't travel to see me. I would have my motor cars and other property restored to me. It sounded very extra tive, but they played the double cross on me." Washington, D. C.—A bill that is arousing much interest in Washington as to the office of Recorder of Deeds is H R. 7571, which was passed by the House of Representatives of the United States in Congress ass-umbled That here after the Recorder of Deeds of th NO 32 District of Columbia shall be appointed by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia: Provided, That no one shall be appointed to the position of Recorder of Deeds unless he be a citizen of the United States, and unless he has been a resident of the District of Columbia for three years next before his appointment and the Commissioners of the District of Columbia shall have power to remove the Recorder of Deeds at pleasure. It is believed that this bill is introduced simply to relieve the President from the responsibility of filling the office, which has been vacant since Henry Lincoln Johnson's removal, and to absolutely prevent the possibility of a colored man being named. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The new "Life Problem" class, which has been recently organized, started off well at the first meeting last Saturday evening. Of the twenty men registered for the course, sixteen were present. Other names have been added since that time, and it is likely that within two or three weeks at least thirty members will be enrolled. Mr. J. S. Temple, assistant state treasurer, is the leader. The class will meet every Saturday evening at 8 o'clock. One does not need to be a member of the Association to join the class. The Boy and Mother's Social which was held last Saturday night was a very enjoyable affair. Fully thirty-five boys brought their mothers. A very pleasant feature of the occasion was a brief sketch entitled "A Sad Discovery," which was rendered by five boys and two young women. The sketch was written by Prof. W. Henry Thomas, the New York playwright, who is stopping for a short while in Denver. He drilled the young people and prompted them in the play. The joint public meeting of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. at shorter's last Sunday afternoon was a great success. Nearly three hundred persons attended the meeting. Dean E. C. Peck, pastor of the City Temple Institutional Society and leader of the Hughes Training School for Girls, was the speaker. The audience was greatly pleased with the address, which was well received. The men's and boys' meeting will be held at the building next Sunday afternoon. The boys' meeting will be held at 2:30 o'clock. The men's meeting will be held at 4, and Rev. Dr. F. W. Henry, pastor of the West Forty-third Avenue Christian Church will be the speaker. All men will be welcome. Then He Said Good-by.

Silverton, Colo.-Late last fall the Colorado Metals Company, with Louis Shaffer, a mining engineer, as manager, began work on a tungsten vein in the Dawn of Day claim, which had been secured under lease and option. Developments were meager, yet in a few weeks' time enough ore was taken to yield 4,800 pounds of huberite concentrates, which ran 72 per cent tungsten, and brought over $9,000 a few days ago. Another shipment was made, said to be worth upwards of $16,000. A few weeks after operations were commenced on Dawn of Day claim Al Marshall opened up a huberite vein on Cement creek, and in a few weeks had taken out ten sacks of crude ore, which was shipped when the blockade was lifted and netted about $800, or about 80 cents per pound. In a store here, is a huge huberite specimen, twenty inches long, a foot wide and nine inches thick, from the Conyers mine, which will easily run 25 per cent tungsten.

This conference had been so far-reaching in usefulness that before his death he had planned the program for the "farmers' conference" of 1916. Wednesday, January 19, was conference day, and there were farmers from all over the southern states, and many from the North and West. Negroes who owned their land, and who had been successful, and others who wanted the experience lessons in order for greater success for their own efforts, writes Mrs. J. B. Reid in the Birmingham (Ala.) Age-Herald. The crowd was tremendous. It was estimated that there were as many as three thousand Negroes present at dinner on the lawn, where a barbecue had been arranged, and a bountiful dinner served in picnic style. It was a wonderful sight to behold, and the portion of the grounds designated for "hitching places" looked like the scenes on the old-time camp-meeting grounds. There were many white people in attendance, men and women; in fact, it was a tremendous demonstration of interest in the best methods of farming and home improvement. There were many speakers from among the Negroes telling of practical experiences and of experiments. The boll weevil seems to be the most formidable enemy in every section, and he is usually the conqueror. Nothing said or tried seemed to destroy his appearance. Each farmer starting out as if he had the remedy, but the final result only proved there is but one way from the destructive power, and that was "raise a diversified crop, have more stock and feed the home markets." This is only the extension and purpose of the spirit of Tuskegee institute. The Negro is a natural farmer. He loves the soil and the sunshine—and that they are buying homes and using modern methods is an assurance that they are beginning to be more thrifty, and are being benefited by the encouragement and training they have been given. I had a keen desire to spend a few days in Alabama's most wonderful workshop, and this was an opportunity. The invitation came to be among their white friends for the conference, and I spent three days most profitably within the inclosure of the institution—going every minute, and even then left much to be seen, although this was my second visit. The spirit of Booker T. Washington lives among the teachers and students; there was evidenced the one great purpose—tolling for service and stronger citizenship—in answer to his call. There are there now 1,620 students enrolled, 60 per cent of whom are boys, each one learning a trade. Think of what an impetus to labor in the preparation for the better workmanship. Each girl is compelled to learn domestic work—cooking, sewing, washing and household work—and economy is their watchword in these lessons. The entire student body works as one man. Speaking of economy and figuring on good management, the arithmetic used in the school was compiled by a former pupil. The lessons are based on the direct management, income and disbursement of the institute during the year of 1911. Calculating the in- At a special meeting of the Washington branch of the National Negro Business league, held at Washington, a committee was appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sorrow of the organization over the death of the founder of the league, Dr. Booker T. Washington. A recommendation was adopted, to be laid before the executive committee of the National Negro Business league, urging the setting apart of a "national Booker T. Washington day," on which occasion each year the colored people all over the land would assemble in their churches, schoolhouses and other public places and emphasize the constructive work done by the deceased for the intellectual, commercial, economic and social uplift of his race. A second recommendation was ordered to be sent for the consideration of the executive committee of the parent body, to the effect "that it is the sense of the local league that a suitable monument should be erected to the memory of Booker T. Washington; that such a movement should be fostered by the National Negro Busi According to the Dutch legation in Stockholm, an extensive aluminum smelter is being organized at Hoyanfjord, Norway, where there is a waterfall which may supply 60,000-horsepower. It is proposed to develop 20,000-horsepower at once, to provide for the production of 4,000 tons of aluminum a year. The capital stock of the company is fixed at $3,350,000, of which $2,680,000 is subscribed. Pneumatic balls as well as springs support a new bicycle saddle. come from products of all departments, expenditures, insurance, loss and profit, etc. Thus every arithmetic class knows the detail business of the school for that year. As the lesson is local, there is more interest in the study. These figures can be obtained for every day of the year now—for instance, I have before me today the report for January 15, 1916. This report is placed on the desk of John H. Washington, director of industries, and furnishes some interesting facts as regards the detail management of the department, upon which depends the supplies for the table, and buildings and financial success of the institution. There were 78,991 pounds of coal used in 24 hours at a cost of $2.91 a ton. On January 15 there were 9,825 gallons of milk, containing 5.2 per cent fat, milked and 10 gallons bought extra from farmers. A milk wagon twice a day supplies many families in Tuskegee, and there is also a bread and vegetable wagon operated each day from the bakery and garden. Bought from farmers same day, 20 gallons of skim milk and 10 gallons of cream. Churned 209 pounds of cream, test 30 per cent fat; made 75 pounds butter. Number of dairy cattle on hand, 162; amount of feed used for the day, 250 pounds of cottonseed meal, 25 pounds of oats, 25 pounds bran, 700 pounds of hulls, 700 pounds hay, 1,500 pounds silage. In the poultry yards there are 583 hens and 51 cocks; 29 dozen eggs laid that day. This is only to give an idea of the details and careful attention given each department each day; as each department submits an accurate report daily. Another feature of the industry, the institute buys from farmers, white and colored, their surplus, and thus furnishes to them a market and encourages other industry. A cannery for the preservation of their own products is operated, and other growers are encouraged to plant and cultivate a bountiful supply by an arrangement to use the cannery on shares. Every boy or girl near by can make their extra dimes by supplying this market with berries in season, to be preserved for winter. Much canned stuff, with the Tuskegee institute brand, is shipped each year. Rev, Dr. M. H. Harris, in a sermon at Temple Israel, in Harlem, paid a high tribute to the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the Negro educator, in which he reviewed his life and dwell on the lessons to be learned therefrom. "He not only sought to deepen the respect of the Caucasian for the Negro," he said, "but one of the highest purposes of the Tuskegee Institute was to awaken the respect of the Negro for his own people. For he had found now and then a scorn of the black for the black—a desire, though unavailing, to get away from his own. He taught this lesson by example. He showed them that he, a Negro, was just as proud of being a Negro as a white mar could be of being of the white race." In conclusion Doctor Harris said: "Is not his biography one to inspire the youth of the land? That he, with all his disadvantages, achieved so much, should not I, with my opportunities, do something worth while in the world? A great man helps us all to come nearer to greatness." ness league, under the sanction of the family of the deceased leader and the trustees of Tuskegee institute, and that the local league pledges its heartiest co-operation with the national league in a movement looking toward that end." Harry Putnam of Rochester, N. Y., trapped a robin recently and found tied to one of its legs a note written by Miss Beatrice Hinman of Washington, D. C., inviting the finder to address her if he was under thirty, single and good looking. Mr. Putnam replied at once. They are agitating the question of digging a canal along the south shore of Long Island. Evidently there isn't water enough around Long Island to satisfy them. Wisconsin was a part successively of Indiana, Illinois and Michigan before it was made a state in 1848. An English firm puts up tea in blocks like plug toacco for the convenience of travelers. Aluminum mined in France will be refined in electric furnaces in Norway at a plant supplied with power by a waterfall where there is 60,000 horsepower available. A gas range has been invented with interchangeable parts that permit it to be fitted to meet the conditions encountered in kitchens of almost any description. It's their crooked ways that enable some men to make both ends meet. AID FOR 148 FAMILIES BY MOTHER'S COMPENSATION ACT IN ONE YEAR. Report Shows There Are 489 Children and Fourteen Nationalities Represented in Distribution of Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver—A total of 148 families were aided in Colorado under the Mother's Compensation Act from July 1914, to July, 1915, according to statistics compiled by W. S. Thomas, secretary of the State Board of Charities. The appropriation expended during that time amounted to $27,163. The figures show further that there were 489 children in the families aided. In ninety-eight of the cases the mothers were widows. In thirty-one cases the fathers had deserted; in three cases the mother had deserted. Seven of the parents had been divorced. In four families the father was in prison and in four more the father was sick. Fourteen different nationalities were represented among the mothers who were aided. There were ninety-four Americans five English, six Irish, eight German, nine Austrian, two Mexican, one Dutch, eight Italian, one Russian, three Swede, one Welsh, three Polish, one French, and one negro. The majority of the mothers were Protestant by faith and 103 of them were earning part of their own support. Cider Under Ban of New Dry Law. Clder, unless it has been sterilized, is an intoxicating liquor and cannot be sold in Colorado under the provisions of the state prohibition law, according to a report made to Attorney General Farrar by John Lynch, state pure food inspector. Analysis by Prof. John Ekeley, state chemist, has proved that benzoate of soda does not prevent cider from fermenting. It will be necessary therefore for factories in this state which are making cider to install sterilizing equipment to comply with the prohibition law. Lynch says in his report that there is no reason why aple juice can not be handled in the same way as grape juice, which, when tested, shows less than 1 per cent alcohol. Land Limit Reduced on Homesteads. The General Land Office in Denver has received instructions from Washington to permit settlers to enlarge their homesteads to 320 acres the order removing the limit from 160 acres. Applicable for entry under this new regulation are the 160,000 acres of non-irrigated lands in Colorado recently opened to location under an order issued by the secretary of the interior in Washington. Most of the land is located in eight counties, as follows: Larimer, 33,000 acres; Otero, 19,000 acres; Fremont, 13,000 acres; Boulder, 12,000 acres; Pueblo, 9,000 acres; El Paso, 7,000 acres; Jefferson, 5,000 acres, and Rio Blanco, 5,000 acres. May Investigate "Safety First." A formal investigation by the State Public Utilities Commission, into safety conditions on Colorado railroads probably will result from a conference between the commission and representatives of the four large brotherhoods of railway employees. Twenty men on behalf of the brotherhoods which includes memberships of approximately 50,000, discussed suggestions of safeguarding travel. Their chief object was to obtain information as to the extent of the commissioner's power to enforce safety regulations. Governor Carlson and members of the commission addressed the men. Road to Be Shortened Sixty Miles. Travel by auto from Denver to Steamboat Springs will be greatly increased this summer as a result of the completion of the Rabbit Ear's pass a connecting link in the Lincoln high way, which will shorten the distance from Denver by more than sixty miles. The district forest service will expend for roads in forest areas approximately $15,000. O' this amount, about $3,500 will be used on the remaining two of the nineteen miles being improved between Kremmling and Steamboat Springs. Sixteen Get Pharmacist Diplomas The results of the spring examinations by the State Board of Pharmacy were that sixteen applicants passed as registered pharmacists and eight as assistant pharmacists.

Paving the way for a complete investigation of every institution and department in Colorado the new State Civil Service Commission passed resolutions calling upon the heads of various institutions and departments to submit lists of their employés with an outline of their respective duties The resolution provides that the commission shall begin with the state penitentiary and investigate all penal corrective and protective institutions asylums and homes. 2,000 CARRANZA TROOPS REVOLT GENERAL HERRERA LEADING DE FACTO FORCES TO AID OUT- LAWS IN WAR ON U.S. 50000U.S.VOLUNTEERS MEXICO'S FIRST CHIEF DEFIED IN FIRST REBELLION SINCE AMERICAN INVASION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Columbus N. M., March 23.—Gen. Luis Herrera, until recently' Carranza military governor of Chihuahua, has renounced Carranza and announced in favor of Villa, taking the field in western Chihuahua with 2,000 troops, according to reliable information received here. The exact place at which Gen. Herrera's troops are encamped was not indicated in the message—which reached Columbus from a source that has always been found to be thoroughly reliable. It is believed, however, that the troops, most of whom recently constituted the Carranza garrison at Chihuahua City, are some place in the distance between the San Pedro and Chihuahua, and are preparing to work north and west toward the Americans under Gen. Pershing. The sentiment of the people in this region, which lies about 70 miles directly east of the Guerrero region, in which Villa began his days as an outlaw, is strongly in favor of the bandit chieftain. His success in withstanding Porfirio Diaz's rurales eight years during which there was a heavy price on his head was through the loyalty of the peons, who worship Pancho Villa as an idol. It is pointed out that the reported renunciation of the Carranza standard by Herrera is the first to be made by an important military leader of the de facto government since the American troops crossed the international line. Gen. Herrera was military governor of Chihuahua at the time of the massacre of eighteen Americans at Santa Ysabel several weeks ago. It was reported that Carranza relieved him of his command because of drunkenness. Washington, March 23.—Grave apprehension regarding the outcome of the American expedition into Mexico in pursuit of Villa was evident for the first time in Washington last night after receipt by the War Department of a dispatch from Gen. Funston saying a report reached him telling of the Chihuahua revolt. Gen. Funston did not disclose the source of his information, and, so far as it could be learned, no confirmation had reached the State Department or the Mexican embassy. Fetr that the report might be true was not disguised in official circles, and developments were awaited with tense anxiety. If Herrera and his troops join Villa in the field, officials believe other Carranza commanders and troops may follow. Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman of Illinois introduced a resolution to authorize and direct the President at once to call for 50,000 volunteers for service in Mexico. Fifty Troopers Killed in Wreck. Mexico City.—Fifty troopers were killed and more than 100 wounded in a railroad accident at Sayula, west of Guadalajara, on the Pacific coast extension of the Mexican Central railway. The train, owing to a loose or removed rail, went over a precipice MANY CITIES BURNING Loss Is Estimated at Many Millions Death List Is Growing and Thousands Are Homeless.

Copper Hill, Tenn.—Chemical plant burned; loss $100,000,000. Topeka, Kan.—Prairie for miles around is on fire; Dodge City threatened; 500 men working night and day to check flames. Towner, Colo.—Women and children check prairie fire, save town. Slavs Relieve Verdun Strain. London, March 23.—Russia, after striking several terrific blows at the forces of the Teutonic allies, has forced the Austrians from Czernowitz, the capital of Bukowina. At the same time one of the greatest armies assembled in the present war is being massed on the northern front for a drive on the Germans. In the region of Lake Narocz the Russians advanced along a ten-mile front, threatening the Vilna railroad and German communications with Dvinsk.

Since the season for farm butcher ing is at hand I am reminded of an old-fashioned recipe for "Pon Hause" which has long been used among the "Pennsylvania Dutch." It is as folows: "All meat not used for sausage hams, shoulders and side meat should be reserved to be used for "pudding meat." This includes the head, with tongue, heart, liver, and all clean skins after the lard has been stripped from them. To all this add water and cook slowly until very well done so bones will easily separate from the meat. Chop the largest pieces of meat, add water and thicken with cornmeal and buckwheat flour, about half as much buckwheat as cornmeal Cook slowly, being careful that the mixture does not stick. When about done add salt, pepper and sage to taste, pour into dripping pans; when cold slice it as cold meat or fry if like mush—Miriam M. Haynes, Colo rado Agricultural College, Fort Coli ns, Colo. POTATOES' IN NEW FASHION Special Way of Serving Them Has Caught the Fancy of the People of San Francisco. At one of the most popular restaurants in San Francisco, delicious potatoes are cooked in the manner described below. Though prepared there in a chafing dish, they may be cooked equally well at home in an ordinary skillet. Bake as many potatoes as are required for a meal, and as soon as they are mealy scoop out the inside. Do not mash, but put in a pan in which is melted butter, at least a tablespoonful for each potato and as much more as your conscience will allow. Stir the potatoes until thoroughly mixed with the butter, and add enough paprika to make the mixture pink, or the color of rutabagas and also add a tablespoonful of very fine chopped chives and one or minced parsley. If chives are not to be had, use onions. These are especially good with beeksteak or chops. Good housekeeping. Chicken and Rice. Onion with chicken and rice is an unusual combination, and unusually good as well. This is a recipe from an Italian friend, but it should be immei diately Americanized by adoption: "To serve six people have two moderate-sized onions to a person. Use one cupful of rice washed thoroughly, one cupful of chicken meat, diced fine three cupfuls of chicken stock and two cupfuls of water. Use for this an earthen baking dish, somewhat flat. Put the onions in first, then the rice and chopped chicken, pouring the stock water over last. Salt and pepper and dot liberally with butter. Place in a moderate oven and cover. Cook for at least an hour, then uncover the baking dish, and add a cupful of rich cream. Increase the heat of the over and cook about twenty minutes longer. This combination should also be served in the dish in which it is cooked." Chicken Rolls. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter blend in three tablespoonfuls of flour add gradually one and one-half cupfuls of chicken stock; season to taste with pepper, salt and celery salt; stir until smooth and thick, and add one and one-half cupfuls of chopped chicken Remove the soft crumbs from crisp rolls, fill with the prepared chicken place in the oven until hot and serve To Wash and Clean Tin. Wash the tins well in hot, soapy water and also add some soda and dry well while quite hot. Clean the inside of the tin pan or saucepan with lemon juice, if necessary. Clean the outside with whiting mixed to a paste with a little water. Let the paste dry thoroughly, then polish first with a soft duster and then with a leather. Cranberry Turnovers. Make a rich pie crust, roll out thin cut in squares or rounds, put about ten cranberries, two teaspoonfuls sugar and a small piece of butter or each, then turn half over and press edges together, or gather all at top and press together. These are deliciously juicy. To Deodorize Pans After cooking onions, cabbage on fish, try this plan: Wash and dry, the pan, then place a piece of thick, brown paper on the stove, set fire to it and turn the saucepan over the blaze. After a few minutes remove it and the odor will not be noticed. Apple Pudding One pint flour, one teaspoonful cream of tartar, one-half teaspoonful soda, two tablespoonful sugar, one sgg, two tablespoonfuls butter, milk smooth to roll, about one-half cupful. Roll and spread with chopped apple. If the Oven Was Too Hot: When loaves are baked in too hot an oven and the outside crust gets too brown, do not attempt to cut it off, but as soon as the bread is cold rub it over with a coarse tin grater and remove all the dark-brown crust. Thick White Sauce Two tablespoonfuls butter, three ablespoonfuls flour, one cupful milk, one-fourth teaspoonful salt, few grains of pepper. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON'S COMPLETE LIFE AND WORKS.

Two important things are to be decided; first, whether we shall continue the sanatorium effort; second, if the effort is to be continued, elect officers. If the movement is continued to transact such business as would naturally grow out of this decision. The officers feel that either the Negroes cannot or will not promote the movement in this community or else the present officers are undesirable or incapable of carrying on the work. If some manifestation of interest is not shown the board will meet to consider the return of the larger contributions to the donors and the dissolution of the organization. (Signed) W. A. JONES, M.

ISABEL STEWART, Sec'y. MAKING A MARK (By An Observer.) Quite an impression was left on me relative to the cleanliness of the interior of the new federal building—the Denver postoffice, covering the block from Stout to Champa, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets, where I visited last week, and on making inquiries discovered that Uncle Sam had not overlooked us, but generously gave employment to eighteen of our people in the capacity of janitors and maids. Going about their work in a systematic form, the marble, woodwork, tiling, cages, etc., keep their new appearance, reflecting the highest credit on those who are entrusted with the care and keeping—the same offering another proof of the ability of the race to perform their duties successfully whenever the opportunity offers. Being pleased with the manner and quality of their work I could not help from requesting the names of these efficient employés for publication as 'credit should be given to whom cred- it is due', and the admiration of the public offered to meritorious and deserving servants of the government. The following are among those employed: Men—Lon Hughes, Sanford Caldwell, Joseph Brown, John Blackwell, Charles Washington, Morgan Wells, Samuel Johnson, John Taylor, E. Pollard, Walter Cooper. Mesdames Sarah Hickman, Viola Caldwell, Cordelia Rogers, Lillian Hughes, Elizabeth Douglas, Callie Campbell, Genevieve Chapman, Elizabeth Stone. A CITY-WIDE EDUCATIONAL MASS MEETING.

El Paso, Tex.—Mrs. Maud Hawk Wright, the American woman who rode nine days with the Villa troops preceding the raid on Columbus, N. M., learned that her baby, which had been taken from her and given to a Mexican family, was safe at Pearson, Mex., and that her husband had been murdered by the soldiers a short distance from their home. Mrs. Wright arrived in El Paso with Mrs. H. J. Slocum, wife of the 13th cavalry commander. "I want to go to my baby," Mrs. Wright said. "It would only take me three days to walk to Pearson." She was informed that the child probably would be brought to Juarez on the train which is to bring the Mormon colonists. Stoical. She Tells Story. Stoccal, She tells Story. Dry-eyed and stolical after the terrible experience in which she had suffered hunger, thirst, exposure, facing almost inevitable death, in addition to the sorrow and worry over the loss of her husband and child, Mrs. Wright told her story to a representative of the Associated Press as though it were commonplace. She had suffered so much she apparently had lost all sense of fear. Because she suffered in silence, never complaining, and holding herself aloof from the horde of soldiers, fugitives, derelicts and vagabonds on the border, she was called "La Reyna." queen of the Villistas, by the troops. Villa had told one of the officers that he preferred to have her die of exhaustion rather than to kill her outright—and because she proved to be able to withstand hardships better than his own men he promised he would release her after he had sacked Columbus. He also agreed to give her $100 gold and a permit to travel unmolested through any part of Villa territory. Villa Expected German Aid. Villa Expected German Aid: "Villa only talked to me twice." Mrs. Wright said. "I avoided talking with him because he would have thought I admired him and would have forced me to accompany him. He told his officers how he would wipe out the town of Columbus and when the United States tried to invade the Mexican territory Germany and Japan would step in to intervene. Villa believed this firmly. I have overheard him make such remarks from time to time. Whether agents of these two countries are making him believe this or whether it is an idea which came to him I do not know. But he is convinced that he will be assisted in the fight he has started "How I wanted to escape to tell the people of Columbus about the attack! But I was watched all the time. The first night I was allowed to sleep in an abandoned cdobe hut which was prepared for me. About thirty saddles were piled in front of the door. The guards slept with their heads to the door, and their feet to a fire just beyond Tries to Flee on Villa's Horse. "I lay down, but not to sleep. About midnight, I heard the snoring of the Mexican guards. I peered through the opening of the saddles and spied Villa's charger, a splendid steed, about fifty feet from the hut. One by one I removed the saddles and stepped over the sleeping forms until I reached the horse. "The horse was tangled in his rope. I began to untangle the horse and then one of the Mexicans turned over. He saw something was wrong I stood behind the horse. But the horse refused to stand still and it kept me busy keeping behind the animal. Finally the guard came out to where the horse was. "What are you doing here? I asked What are you doing here? he asked. "Untangling this horse. I replied Then he finished the task I started. I longed for a hatpin, a dagger, a pen knife, anything to kill the man. I could have shot him had I had a gun But if I could have killed him I could have escaped, since none of the other horses could have overtaken me. "I returned to the but. From then on I was watched constantly. For three days and nights we were without fire in the frost-covered mountain country of northern Chihuahua. For thirty hours we were without water But the soldiers often did without rather than see my canteen empty.

This is not a fancy, but a definite statistical fact, which proves that the average length of human life on this planet is slowly but steadily increasing. Big Advantage. There must be a tremendous advantage in being so rich that a merchant is afraid of making you mad in sending a bill was to be given a rifle to kill the 'gringos' in Columbus. I told him I would shoot him first. "I believe you would," he said." I believe you would, he said. Mrs. Wright was guarded outside of Columbus, about 502 yards, while the attack was made on the city. She asked to be released, but her guard said he must have Villa's consent. When the troops retreated she started toward Columbus. Villa, one of the last of the fleeing raiders, stopped beating his horse and men with his sword upon seeing her. "Do you want to go home?" he asked. "Do you mean to Mexico?" she asked. "No, to the United States." "Yes." "Go," he said. "May I take my mare and saddle?" she asked. "Yes," he answered, and rode on. Mrs. Wright then rode into Columbus. REGAINING PLACE AS IDOL OF PEONS Villa's Audacity Wins Him Sympathy Among the Ignorant Mexicans. Villa's audacity in making such a bold attack on American soil and his escape from the small mounted forces that pursued him from Columbus has done much toward placing him back on his pedestal as the popular idol of the peons and ignorant Mexicans. The American invasion has given him the argument that Carranza is in league with the "gringos" and the declaration that plans are on foot to place the states of Chihuahua and Sonora under American rule, after the example of Texas and California. In all public statements since the Columbus massacre, Carranza has carefully avoided reference to the American invasion, of which he has received both personal and official information. In El Paso, it is taken for granted that the "gringo hate" so carefully cultivated in Mexico for the last sixty years, is now so strong that Carranza would lose all prestige if he recognized an invasion by the despised men of the North, whether that invasion was under the name of "punitive expedition" or any other innocent appearring phrase. It is believed the general plan of invasion of Mexico under consideration by the American forces is laid along three avenues of entrance. According to this theory, one United States column will enter Mexico through Juarez another from Douglas, Ariz., and a third will start from the blackened ruins of Columbus. The theory is based on the belief that the war department has decided to take measures by which it hopes to throw a line of forces midway east and west across the state of Chihuahua, thereby cutting Villa off from further recruiting his forces in the central part of the republic. With this line 'on the south the Douglas column on the west and the Juarez column on the east, it is believed Villa will be cornered in a "U." the tips of which will touch the international border line. Then by the closing of this cordon and the starting, of the third expeditionary force on a straight sweep south from Columbus, it is believed that the bandit chieftain and his forces will be surrounded and forced into a decisive battle, instead of an endless period of guerrilla warfare in the hills. The cordon would further have the effect of starving out Villa and his 'followers and isolating them from all communications with potential assist ance in other parts of the republic The success of the plan is admitted to depend largely upon the ability of the American forces to overcome the ever spreading Carranza opposition which is now being considered one of the strongest factors in the campaign With the pitifully small forces available at present, it is believed the american forces will experience great difficulty in covering the 30,000 or more square miles in the prescribed area of the "U," and at the same time protecting their lines of communication, both from the onslaughts of the entrapped bandits and the hostile disposition of the Carranzistas The last is a negligible quantity by no means Mexicans are Mexicans first and Carranzistas second. As Carranzistas they hate Villa, but as Mexicans they solidly hate Americans. AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS BARRED FROM MEXICO Brownville. Tex.—An official decree barring all American newspapers from Matamoros, the Mexican town across the Rio Grande from Brownville, was issued by the military authorities there today. No reason was given. The action came as a surprise here and two arrests of newspaper carriers resulted. To Clean Glass. It is a good idea to clean the glass over pictures with a cloth wrung from hot water and dipped in alcohol Polish them immediately until they are dry and glossy with chamois or tissue paper.

THE KITCHEN CABINET There is no medicine equal to a merry laugh—well mixed with fresh air. One secret of success—stick-to-It-iveness.

Cottonseed oil with suet has been used with good results. way; but if tried out and mixed with equal quantities of lard it will be soft enough to use for any shortening. Cottonseed oil with suet has been used with good results, pouring in equal quantities of the oil when the fat is still hot. This fat is especially good for deep frying. A five or ten cent dish mop makes a fine mop or duster to use to dust down the hardwood stairs, or to clean out the spiral springs of the bed. Treat the mop to a bath of kerosene and it will catch and hold the dust. This same dish mop can be useful in keeping the sink and bathtub clean. Dip it in a cup of kerosene and it will remove all the dirt quickly, doing away with the scouring process. An ordinary carpet sweeper, if dampened with water before using will take up the dust with less dust left in the air. When washing windows add a little ammonia to the water instead of soap, the glass will be clearer. Cellar or attic stairs which are dark should have the top and bottom stair painted white; this will prevent many accidents. A heavy piece of sheet iron on the top of a gas stove will be found a great convenience. Foods will simmer and plates and dishes may be kept warm for serving. When ink gets thick in the inkwell dilute with strong coffee instead of water, the ink will be better. Stick pins through the corks of bottles containing poison and keep the bottles by themselves, then they will never be taken by mistake. Soft corns may be permanently cured by the use of talcum powder and a small wedge of tissue paper to keep the toes apart. Moisture is the cause of soft corns. Use a small blackboard eraser to clean the stove. Dip it in parafin oil and it will keep the stove clean and black. A wire hairpin makes a fine cherry pitter, a new one may be kept for just such purpose. A man without ambition is like a busted bank, all building and no assets. —Caxton.

When it seems hard to find something for dessert try this: Peach Melba. — In a sherbet cup place a cone of ice cream on top the half of a canned peach. over this pour a table spoonful of raspberry sirup. stick four sweet wafers around the side of the cup and serve. Coffee Peach Canapes.—Cook in a little butter circular pieces of sponge cake until delicately brown. Drain canned peaches and place with a tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan over the heat, add a grating of nutmeg and a few drops of lemon juice. When hot serve on the hot circles of cake. Add a little cooked rice to the meat loaf. It will make it go farther, add to the flavor and slice in neat slices either hot or cold. When roasting beef sprinkle the top, while roasting, with finely minced onion, it adds to the flavor of both meat and gravy. To make a truly elegant dish of roast leg of lamb, roast with a sprinkling of chopped onion or onion juice mixed with lemon juice, using a teaspoonful of onion and half a lemon. Sheat the leg with a thin coating of jelly, either currant or gooseberry, and baste while roasting. Paper Gingersnaps—Boll a cupful of molasses five minutes, add a teaspoonful of soda, a half cupful of lard and a tablespoonful of ginger Cool and stir in flour enough to roll very thin. Bake in a hot oven. Tomato Marmalade—Take a cupful of pulp, that is strained tomato through a sieve to remove the seeds, add one and a half cupfuls of sugar, the juice of a lemon, a half teaspoonful of the acid that comes in the pack age with acidulated gelatin, a half teaspoonful of ginger and a little allspice Cook until thick.

How it improves rental property, 7 The upper picture shows a vacant lot in a southern town before a Clean Up and Paint Up campaign. It was rid of all the trash by negro children in the neighborhood. Then they planted a vegetable and flower garden on the plot and had fine success with the enterprise. Can't we do something equally good with some of the vacant lot eyesores in this town? The lower picture shows what can be done with a ragged, good-for-nothing side yard. It took a great deal of persuasion to wake up the owners and tenants of the property, but once aroused they made up for lost time—as the neat garden indicates. This is a lesson for us. has become a nation-wide slogan in the interests of homes and towns beautiful since Allen W. Clark, a St. Louis publisher, organized the National "Clean Up and Paint Up" campaign bureau in May, 1912. Mr. Clark, for many years identified with the American paint trade, sought to arouse and organize into a single national movement the "clean up" spirit which stirs each spring in every normal man and woman and nearly every thriving community. The first year something like 1,000 towns and cities conducted local clean up and paint up campaigns based on plans suggested by the national bureau. This number has increased each year until in 1915 approximately 5,000 local campaigns were organized. Each of these took the form of a real civic movement Where Everybody Helps. City and town officials, woman's club leaders, boards of trade, health officials, fire insurance and fire prevention leaders, school children, boy scouts and the local paint men all cooperated in the inteests of a more beautiful, more sanitary and more homelike home town. Individual property values were increased, loss through disease and fire waste was lessened, and the importance of cleanliness thrift and civic pride in any movement for homes and towns beautiful was convincingly pointed out everywhere. The weakness of the old-time "clean up day or week" orgy of the "annual bath" order is eliminated from these campaigns. Permanent results and ultimately a year-round effort are sought. Clean Up the Farm Too. With the idea of making the farm home more attractive and more health ful a farm clean up day has been suggested Why not this idea long ago? Cities, towns and villages have had their clean up days, and because of these and similar influences beauty POSTSCRIPTS Automobile tires made of synthetic rubber by a German inventor have shown no signs of wear after having been run more than 4,000 miles.

The creator gave to the country a peculiar charm. Beauty—beauty of blade and blossom, of hill and hollow, of daydawn and sunset—comes as the birthright of every person who is country born. In the springtime nature writes in pink her orchard proclamation of plenty, and in late summer and fall time fills the fields with grains of gold. Sometimes civilization has cluttered, but never has nature. Whatever there is of uginess in the great out of doors is man made. Means Better Health. Beauty is a part of the farmer's unearned increment. Health, too, should be for him and his—health and happiness, best of ancient blessings so often wished for friends. Because we "absorb environments," a farm clean up day may result in better living, higher thinking—yes, and better health. It may also play no small part in the solution of a big problem, that of keeping on the farms of the nation a large number of agriculturally trained and efficient men and women. Such as these will find in their work not only a living, but a life. They will share in the spirit of joy in the excellence of production There is much work for a farm clean up day. It may be that there are disease breeding places that need attention The appearance of the barn yard—often such as to suggest that various old vehicles and farm implements had taken fright and backed into the corners—might be changed for the better. Maybe there is a compost heap—rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and valuable as a fertilizer if spread over the fields, but in its present place an incubator for insects and dangerous as a possible source of fever. Flowers and New Paint. If mother is fond of flowers, and usually she is, the farm clean up day might mean a new flower bed or perhaps a fence fixed so as to protect an old one. There may be a gate that too At the present rate, $1,000,000 will be expended in electric ranges this year.

Whitewash on poultry or other buildings will work wonders. Before the day's work is done, prompted by a new pride in the place, it may be that the farmer will display the farm name near the main entrance to the place. States, counties, communities, churches, schools or farmers' clubs may proclaim farm clean up days, but best of all each individual farmer may have his own. Don't Neglect to Paint. It is apparent to even the casual observer that many property owners let their rented houses, or houses for rent, go too long without painting. This neglect makes the houses look unightly but also hastens the day of decay. A little paint is a good investment from every viewpoint. It preserves the wood and it keeps the houses rented. The writer visited an Illinois town last spring and after a careful observation found not a single house which was not well and fairly recently painted. There had just been a clean up and paint up campaign. The impression left was one of a thriving town where a man would like to live and bring up a family. The yards were well kept, with lawns, flower beds and shrubbery, and each householder seemed to vie with his neighbor in making his place look attractive. New Sterilizing Agent German scientists have found that glycerin is a valuable sterilizing agent. Various deadly germs, when heated in it to a temperature of 248 degrees Fahrenheit, were completely killed in one minute. This process is particularly valuable for sterilizing surgical instruments, for the reason that the metal is not attacked nor is the temper affected. Rubber tubes can be sterilized in it, and, instead of being injured, the elasticity of those which have become brittle is restored by the treatment. "Did you hear how Smithers got caught in a copper corner?" "No; how was it?" "He had been taking a little too much, and ran whooping into a bunch of policemen just as he turned around the street." Consistency. "There is one thing which ought to, but does not, go with the unwritten law." "What?" WASHINGTON.—The grounds surrounding the base of the Washington monument may be beautified still further by the setting out there of a screen of evergreens and other shrubbery, as the result of the eighty-second received from the states they were placed, as received, in a long shed near the monument, known then as the "lapidarium." Tourists and souvenir hunters haunted this place, and when they were not carefully watched they chipped off pieces of the stones to take home. A medical society sent a stone with carved figures of personages in the medical world, and the souvenir hunters chipped off the hands of some of the figures. Michigan's stone bore a coat of arms in silver. Vandals took a letter or two of silver out of the motto of the coat of arms, although these were replaced. There is to this day some little uncertainty that the stone representing Texas is actually the stone sent by that state. Old records (dated 1850) show a resolution of thanks to Texas officials for a stone, so it is certain that a stone was sent, but the stone in the monument is badly defaced and deteriorated, and it is intended to urge Texas to replace it. It is defaced so badly that the carvings cannot be identified as the carvings of the Texas stone. One interesting thing about the monument is the aluminum cap on the topmost point. This is about 12 by 9 inches, and, years ago, when it was brought to Washington, it was a great curiosity, as it was said to be the first piece of aluminum of any size ever made. It cost the government $300. Creased Trousers on Statue of Senator Rice SENATOR HENRY MOWER RICE died long since, but he was a great character in his day—so great that the people of Minnesota have erected a marble statue to his memory in that chamber of horrors known as Statuary of the horrendous chills superinduced by gazing on the "art" therein. The latest addition is the Senator Rice statue, a fine, upstanding effigy fashioned by Frederick E. Triebel, whose studio is at College Point, N. Y. He is one of the very few American members of the Royal Academy of Rome. He probably knows how to bring a marble block to life as well as the Greek who carved Galatea in yielding stone. However, he seemed to have failed to live up to the realistic when it came to creasing Senator Rice's trousers. The latest criticism comes from Maj. James A. Abbott of Providence, R. I., a special employee of the United States senate, who was gazing upon the marble trousers a few days ago. "The artist has given the senator creased trousers," said Major Abbott "when, in fact, in the days that the senator lived, no one was ever seen in creases. If you had been found with your trousers creased like that, the natural supposition would have been that you had just picked up a pair of hand-me-downs in a ready-made shop (which was a disgrace in those days) and that you had not had time to iron out the creases made by piling the breeches one on top of the other on the shelf." National Museum Shows Native Java Garments ATTENTION has recently been called to the opportunities open to the style creator lying within the arts of certain quaint and little-known peoples. Especially is this applicable to the natives of parts of Java who dress in International exposition at San Francisco. The exhibit includes several different types of Javanese dress decorated by what is known as batik-work. The Javanese batik process is very crude, and yet is possibly the origin of the advanced method of resist printing followed today in various civilized countries. It is closely allied to the stencil method both in principle and effect. The handmade Javanese batiks are produced from common cotton sheeting, the only cloth procurable in their country. Four main colors are used in this work: Indigo, red, a tannin brown, and a rather strong yellow. They are sometimes allowed to overlap, which results in the additional color effects of black, green, and orange. All the dyes are of home manufacture, made from native ingredients. The manufacture of the dyes takes considerable time also, and when it is considered that from one to three weeks is required to complete the application of each color of the three to be employed, and that each step of the process has to be repeated on the other side, it is seen what a long, tedious, and expensive process this native method is. It is reported that a more advanced method has been tried successfully in Holland, where a similar system of coloring has been applied to plushes, silks, and velvets. Strangely enough, the natives of Java seem unable to improve their methods even with European advice and assistance, and are unable to work more accurately or rapidly, and cannot be made to give any attention to symmetry or care.

President Wilton discovered this the other day, and for that reason the eagle is now preening its feathers in the aviary of the National Zoological park But when it came to housing the bird the troubles of the White House staff began. But when the matter was presented in desperation to the president he decided that the eagle would be better off at the zoo. The eagle was sent to the president by Judge George F.

Long Debates Certain on Some of the Legislation That Is Proposed—Many Appropriation Measures Necessarily Held Back. Washington.—Members of congress of all parties who are anxious to return home in time to take up the strenuous work of inducing their constituents to return them to office are worried today over the backward condition of the legislation fixed upon for the winter's labor. Their sharp fear is that notwithstanding the hopeful outlook of a few days ago they be compelled to sit through the hot summer and up to the time when the snow begins to fly in the fall. Congress would have made much better progress with the bills that it was determined in advance to enact into law if it had not been for the arrival in the midst of things o unexpected and troubulous visitors in the shape of what might be called extraneous subjects. The apparent determination of a part of congress to pass a resolution warning Americans off merchantmen carrying guns for defensive purposes created a tremendous amount of excitement and set back legislation for some days. Then came the letter of President Wilson asking that congress should vote on one of the warning resolutions and put itself on record as being for or against the administration in its handling of the delicate diplomatic negotiations which were before it. This matter gave the senators and representatives so much to think about that the machinery of ordinary legislation moved still more slowly. The proposal of Representative Borland of Missouri that government clerks in Washington should have an hour added to their day's work also added to the embarrassment of the situation. As yet only one or two of the greater appropriation bills are on their way to final passage and signing. Some of these measures necessarily must be delayed until a late hour when it can be determined definitely how much money is to be needed to run departments of government whose expenses this year probably are to be increased materially. It is impossible, of course, to pass the army and navy appropriation bills until it is shown clearly how much the increase in the two branches of the service is to be; how many ships are to be built and how much ammunition is to be purchased. In fact, the preparedness measures so-called and the army and navy appropriation bills virtually are appropriation bills in themselves. The senate debated for a long time what is known as the waterpower bill. it has been opposed bitterly in its present form by the conservationists of the country who maintain that it does not properly safeguard the interests of the public. The reverse, of course, is maintained by the proponents of the measure and the fight has been long and fast. Plans That Are Bitterly Opposed. An attempt is being made this year to pass legislation which will make the government its own manufacturer-in-chief. It is proposed that all armor plate shall be made by the United States and it is more than suggested that all other things having to do with army and navy supplies shall be given directly into the manufacture and control of Uncle Sam. It is hardly necessary to say that these propositions are being combated bitterly and that the subject is one which makes for a lengthening of the session. The bill known as the shipping bill which provides for a government owned merchant marine will take perhaps weeks of debate before the question can be decided definitely one way or the other. It will be remembered, of course, that it was this bill or one somewhat similar which engaged the attention of congress last year, the house finally passing it and the senate finally forcing it to die by the "talking route." The measure has been altered materially this year and with the increased Democratic majority in the senate it seems likely that it will be passed by that body at least, although the situation in the house with its decreased Democratic majority is somewhat in doubt. There are several other measures of considerable national moment which will engage the attention of the lawmakers for a long time before action can be taken upon them. The house of course, can put things through under rules limiting debate, but the failure of the senate to adopt a rule of like kind makes it still possible for matters to run their course of talk unchacked in the upper house until unanimous consent can be obtained to put them to a vote. Congress Galleries Crowded. Congress Galleries Crowded. Promises of sharp and spectacular debates in the senate on the questions of foreign relations and on preparedness bring daily to the senate galleries hundreds of visitors, many of them Washingtonians who seldom attend the sessions of congress except on extraordinary occasions When the galleries are full there is likely to be a full attendance or senators, for the representatives of the states in congress are not above having human foibles. They like to be seen and they like to be heard by the multitudes. It is said that the best way to keep a quorum in the senate is to fill the galleries. There are many men in the upper house today who are marked for public curiosity and more serious public notice. These men are the leaders in behalf of President Wilson's policies and the leaders of such movements as are on foot against his policies. Do You Know That一 There are also in the senate several Republicans who are either announced or receptive candidates for the nomination for the presidency. These senators, with the leaders on the other side, daily are pointed out, by persons in the gallery familiar with their faces, to the visitors from abroad. The COLORADO STATESMAN It may seem a bit impertinent to point out the weaknesses of the legislators of the United States, but some of the men on the floor of the senate are some of those on the floor of the house show constantly that they are alert to the approval or the disapproval of the galleries. Many a senator and many a representative in the course of a speech lifts his eyes to the galleries to see how his last finely-polished phrase has taen hold of the visiting representatives of the great American people. It might also be said that in this eye search of the galleries the press gallery is not neglected. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF JOB PRINTING On the Democratic side of the senate one of the men in whom the visitors show the most interest is Senator William J. Stone o. Missouri, who is the chairman of the committee on foreign relations which today has an abundance of important work in hand. It is Senator Stone who foreign matters is looked to as the champion of the administration's cause. Commercial, Fraternal, Church, Book and Stationery Jobs A SPECIALTY Another Democratic senator who constantly is pointed out is John W. Fern of Indiana, who has the post of floor leader of the Democracy Others like Tillman, Vaidman and Lewis, of whom much has been heard in the public prints, not only because of their political and legislative doings, but because of their marked personal characteristics, are ordinarily the subject of more than casual attention from the occupants of the galleries. Over on the Republican side Cummins of Iowa, Weeks of Massachusetts. La Follette of Wisconsin, Smith of Michigan and Sherman of Illinois are out-and-out candidates for the Republican nomination. This fact, added to such other facts as make these senators more or less prominent, is sufficient to draw the attention of the g-leries to them. 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. All Visitors Inspected. Visitors to Washington these days, if they enter the capitol or the great building housing the state, war and navy departments, cannot fail to note that they themselves are being noted in other words, every such visitor is inspected somewhat more than casually by men who are on guard at the doors, or who are stationed in the corridors. Ever since a bomb was exploded last year in the senate wing of the capitol, and in view of various like happenings in different parts of the country, the government has thought it wise to take care that no further damage shall be done by cranks or wartime enthusiasts in the capital city. 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. In ordinary times there are several entrances to the capitol which can be used freely by visitors, but which are now closed and locked. Persons wishing to inspect the building or to witness the proceedings of either house or senate must enter through designated doorways inside of which sit men in uniform who look over every one who enters. The inspectors are alive to every possibility in the case and inspection, while seemingly only cursory, is in effect as close and as strict as it is possible to make it within the limited time of the visitor's passage through the hallway. Give Us a Trial and We Will Give You Satisfaction Checked Package of $4,000. No one is allowed now to enter the galleries of either house or senate if he carries with him a package of any kind. The other day a man carrying a package was stopped and told that he must check it at the parcel room if he wanted to enter the gallery. He willingly complied with the suggestion. When he left the capitol he forgot about his package and after some time it was opened and was found to contain $4,000 in cash. The owner returned afterward, reclaimed his money and did not seem to think he had done anything unusual in committing so large a sum to the care of the checkroom attendants. Prices as Reasonable as Those of Any Job Office in Denver The explosion of a bomb in the senate wing of the capitol some months ago was the first attempt to do any injury to government property in this city for some years. In 1903, shortly after the statue of Frederick the Great was erected near the war college in Southeast Washington, someone put .bomb at its base, lighted the fuse and made off. The bomb proved to be little more than of a firecracker's strength and no material injury was done to the memorial. This happened long before the present war broke out in Europe and so, of course, inspiration for the deed could not be laid to animosities engendered by the conflict between the allies and the central powers. The attempt was laid at the door of some crank who was seeking notoriety, but the perpetrator never was discovered. To keep up the present numerical strength of her army.

Hayden, Manager DAY OR NIGHT THE WOMEN'S WORLD Fine Effects in Spring Neckwear THE FASHION WEEK Spring gowns for afternoon wear, for miss or matron, are addicted to crepes, volle, marquisette, and other fabrics that are sheer. Crepe de chine and crepe georgette are favored for the miss, made up in ways calculated to set off the girlish figure or with an eye to concealing its too angular outlines. Touches of bright color appear in bits of embroidery that attract the eye, on the quietest gowns, and colored organdie takes the place of lace or white organdie in the collars, where color is needed at the neck. One of the plainest models in an afternoon frock for the nearly grown miss is shown above. A dark gray or mouse-colored crepe de chine was chosen for making it, with skirt and bodice in one. The bodice is cut with a yoke and the lower part of it is shirred, with four parallel rows of shirring, and set on to the yoke with a piping of the crepe. Long, moderately full sleeves. are set into the arm's-eye in the same way and finished with a deep cuff outlined with a piping. The plain skirt is cut shoe-top Fine Effects in Combinations of two colors and two materials in frocks and suits have established themselves as an accepted style feature of the new season, and now all sorts of dress accessories show the influence of the same idea. In neckwear and footwear it is conspicuous. Among the new collars there are pretty cape-collars made of white and colored organdie (often with cuffs to match) and collars of white organdie finished with colored bands. The favored combinations are white with pink, white with tan, and white with blue. One of the cape-collars in which white and light pink are used together with fine effect is pictured here. A little cape of white organdie is finished about the edge with hemstitching, and over it a smaller cape in flesh pink is exactly of the same shape and finished in the same way. Both are set into a narrow band of organdie that turns in about the neck. A row of small pearl buttons is set on the pink cape at each side of the front. The very tiniest of buttons, by the way, are among the favorite exquisite finishes that match up well with organdie or oct or fine lace. The cuffs are made in the same way as the cape. However much fashion may welcome the cape she is unwilling to banish the high collar with all its --- length and shirred in at the waist. A wide, slightly stiffened band about the bottom gives opportunity for using the plinging again, where it is set on A belt of the crepe fastens at one side of the front, with a panel of embroidery in red, blue, and gold brightening it across the front. A lace collar and cuffs may be replaced with a similar set in colored or white organdie, which are even better style for the young girl than laces Soft serge and supple silks are combined in one-piece frocks for the miss. In an unusually pretty model the serge-skirt is shirred to a short yoke of silk and finished at the bottom with a wide-band of it. The silk yoke is extended above the waist line, forming the lower part of the bodice. The sleeves are full at the top, the fullness confined by four rows of shirring, but they are shaped to the arms below the elbow and finished with a band of braid that extends from the wrist nearly to the elbow. They and the upper part of the bodice are of the serge. A collar of rose-colored organdie opens with a V at the front and flares about the neck. Spring Neckwear smart style, and has made a compromise between them. They have been joined and made one as may be seen in the collar at the right of the picture. In this model a little cape of white organdie supports a collar high at the back and turned back in points at the front. The two pieces are joined by hemstitching, and face inserts are introduced in the fabric by the same means. Between the inserts thy flower motifs and dots, in fine embroidery, give tone to the design. Julia Bottomley Convenient Eag at Bedside. A convenience for a sick person is a good-sized shoe bag with ample pockets fastened with safety pins to the mattress at the side of the bed in the pockets may be stored books, papers, fancy work handkerchiefs and various articles that are needed. Featherboning on Petticoats To hold out the lace ruffles on dainty petticoats a little light featherboning is run into the edge of the lace.
