THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO AND NEW MEXICO Pullman Co's Latest Move VOL. XX11. Chicago, Ill.,—The Pullman Car Company, in spite of the recent controversy in dealing with the car cleaners, which is very much in evidence at the present time, can at least be said to be doing a creditable work along the lines of the true American spirit, which has revealed itself in adjusting the differences of their own demand and contention for competent and reliable employees for the car cleaners service. This service which does not require Union labor anymore than a thousand other kinds of domestic occupations, is showing the true unbiased American spirit to the biased (white) labor Unions by employing any color race or creed that they are doing right and showing justice to American citizens, and this new movement is of great importance to white American Unions and invites the question, as a problem, as to whether the Negro and foreigner who works peacefully side by side, without color prejudice, cannot further extend their industrial energy by a modern Union alliance that has but one object—that of honest labor rights in a free country—without the hostility of Unions that object to race, creed or color. Mr. Leach, the district superintendent of the company, recently gave out an interview to one of his foremen stating that all reliable laborers are sure of their jobs. A raise of wages is promised, and there will be no discrimination. The latest development in the future employment of laborers is that non union Pollocks have recently been placed in open vacancies in turn and there has been no discrimination thus far in the placing of laborers in the cleaning department. In dealing with a question which mestic servitude, instead of manual, arises in an occupation classed as dot trade or federated labor, it can be positively asserted that a very large element of white American laborers are decidedly in favor of a general unbiased union, but their views are swamped by the other tainted faction of antiquated ignorance, and it is that very fact that is being proved in the most unaffected city in this country. To be frank about the matter, there are unions in Chicago who do not object to Colored laborers and tradesmen, and especially those from the South, who are very competent and civil, and with whom they would rather work than with foreigners. And all of this is a great example to the new turn in conditions of modern labor treaties in prime interests of home industries. It is not generally believed that the company will either abandon or gradually eliminate the Colored employees from their new occupation and their salvation lies much in the prompt, quiet, peaceful behavior of the Colored laborer and the competence of other foremen.—The Freeman. FAITHFUL SERVANTS Memphis, Tenn., April 22. — The participants of the affair that sought to discourage kind consideration, by throwing rocks and rotten eggs at the colored servants that had, upon the invitation of Mrs. James H.

The police were put on the trail of the culprit, but his friends not only smuggled him but hid the girl and it was only through the efforts of the police chief of Knoxville that she was found. Then she told the story that caused the arrest of Peace. The public here is anxious to find out what will be done with this fiend since the child has been born.

W. H. Duncan Writes Encouraging Letter Glenwood Springs, Colo. May 1st., 1916! Mr. Jos. D. D. Rivers, Editor Colorado Statesman, Dear Sir:— The staunch support you are rendering through the columns of your paper for a United Republican party in city and state is certainly commendatory, and I believe is very highly appreciated by all who stand for a square deal for all classes of citizens irrespective of race or color. I for one feel very much encouraged to know that we have in our great State one Race Journal that stands for a principle. It is also gratifying to know that the "Colored Citizens League," the organization that is known throughout the State as the leading Negro organization for the uplift of the race to which you are so closely identified with, has come out boldly for a fixed purpose. If we as a Race expect to accomplish anything politically in State or Nation we must identify ourselves with one or the other of the great Political parties, their is no middle ground for the Negro in America at the present time. The Republican party was largely responsible for our enfranchisement and we must and will hold that party responsible for our Political uplift and rights under the constitution, so long as that party remain one of the Dominate Political parties of this nation W.

Next Tuesday, May 9, the special election for enacting a change of municipal government in the City and County of Denver will take place. Colored voters who should be true to themselves must bring forcibly to their minds that the only disposition to give civil and political freedom and encourage to us in this state and the country at large is found in the REPUBLICAN PARTY. Being only beginners in social, political and industrial development, let us not flirt with non-progressive political elements which spell decay and ruin, but rather continue our loyalty and devoted alliance to the course already made clear for us. This is not the time to indulge in experiments, as disaster will surely follow. Remember the terms DEMOCRAT and SEGREGATION are of the same birth. Don't be misled. Remain therefore with your reliable REPUBLICAN PARTY, your candidate, WILL IAM W. BOOTH, and shout with us over the victory. THE GENERAL BUSINESS OUTLOOK When we note the various expressions that are coming from the business men of our city and state; when we receive the valuable information given out by the farmers; when we are witnesses of the abundant showers that Nature has in her munificence bestowed on us for the past two to three months and up to the present, we are bound to entertain the best thought for a successful summer season, the improved condition of things and a restoration of good financial times. Everyone is being encouraged, as the look, the wish, the hope point to a betterment of our unfortunate hard times, which had dampened our prosperity. If we can believe in the estimate of the farmer, who is credited for pretty definite ideas, of the coming season, we ought to feel assured that we will be amply repaid for the fall and spring seasons, when business seemed to have been at a standstill. The incoming of merchants to our city, the opening of new banks, the occupying of larger and more accommodating store premises by our old reliable firms, indicate without a doubt the stepping-stones to a very prosperous and successful order of things in general. New hope, new life, and with undaunted courage, we are sure to redeem our loss, and share the bountifulness of what is in store for us. REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION On Tuesday, May 2nd, at Pueblo, Colorado, Hons. Kary C. Schuyler and Charles W. Waterman of Denver, Philip B. Stewart of Colorado Springs and Governor George Carlson were elected delegates at large from Colorado to the Republican national convention to be held in Chicago Wednesday, June 7, while Dr. Hubert Work of Pueblo was chosen for national committeeman, Fred O. Roaf of Pueblo and Daniel Taylor of Trinidad represented the Third congressional district, and John Ewing of Leadville and Bulkeley Wells of Telluride the Fourth. In the ordinary of the Brown Palace hotel the Denver County Republicans met on Thursday afternoon last and named Archibald M. Stevenson, Republican leader of Colorado for nearly a quarter of a century, and Ralph W. Smith to represent the First congressional district. A particular feature of the convention was the adoption by acclamation of resolutions from the report of committee, read by Chairman Waterman, which undoubtedly proved that the Grand Old Party had laid aside all feuds and internal strifes, resolving on a resurrection of the principles that created unanimity of spirit and solidarity of action. The resolutions in part were as follows: "The Republicans of Colorado, in state convention assembled, reaffirm their confidence and unaltering faith in the principles of the Republican party, which were made glorious and eternal by the steadfastness and patriotism of Lincoln, Grant and McKinley, and we unhesitatingly and unreservedly declare: "For a firm, determined and consistent policy in all our foreign affairs, "For the arousal and maintenance of an insistent, determined spirit of patriotic Americanism in American manhood and womanhood; "For a protective tariff adequate to defend the industrial, agricultural and mining activities of the United States against the ruinous competition of foreign producers. "We unqualifiedly and enthusiastically endorse and commend the splendid economical and constructive administration of the present Republican state government, and we earnestly urge all patriotic Americans to cooperate with us in support of the Republican candidates who will bring our nation back to the high standard of preparedness for peace or war and of efficiency in government which it has been the proud record of the Republican party always to maintain." "We believe that in this crisis of our country's history victory can only come to our party organization by nominating a man for the presidency who is fearless in his advocacy of preparedness for national defense, the protection of American industries and the defense of national honor." These, among others, gave fulfillment to the oft-repeated expression of Mr. Archibald Stevenson, when he replied to a question relating to the future of the Republican party, in the following: "I can only repeat what I have said before: I believe the Republican party will again come into its own"; and as members of this party that we are actually part and parcel of from the years of our incorporation and association therewith, we are compelled to be flattered over the signal success that attended the convention. Our personal acquaintance for very many years with Messrs. Stevenson and Ralph Smith, with the victories and temporary defeats of the Republican party in our state, from legislative elections to national, makes us feel proud of the present selection for their service to the state and organization so dear to them, and The Colorado Statesman can at this time only contribute to these gentlemen and their other elected colleagues their best wishes for a brilliancy of usefulness in their honorable and responsible spheres in the service of a country and the duty to a constituency of which they have every reason to be proud. The colored delegation to the convention took active part in the proceedings. --- Provide Means for Using Boy's Spare Time By REV. ROY L. SMITH, Pastor of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church, Chicago Many boys are lost to good citizenship every year because parents think their children are safely in the care of the school or church. A boy may be completely lost to his parents, yet sit at the family table daily. How sorrowfully the city of Chicago is seeking for its lost boy today. She has just realized the fact that he has escaped the church, the school and barely escaped the law. Unfortunately, we do not find him in the company of teachers and thinkers in any considerable number. Instead we find him in the vicious poolroom, or in secret "athletic" clubs, etc., meeting over barns or in basements. Here the boy with nothing to do proves himself an adept in knavery under the tutelage of those already initiated into crime. The "baby bandit," the gangster and the boy thug are the inevitable fruits of a policy of indifference to the use of a boy's idle time. The secret of the boy problem in large measure is a parent problem. In a city of flats and paved streets the boy has been a tardy consideration. There is no room for his shop in the apartment and less room for his ball ground in the crowded street. In all the West side, where St. Paul's church is located, there is not one desirable playground and only three small, inadequate parks. Such agencies as the Y. M. C. A., the Chicago Boys' club and the Boys' republic go farther toward saving the boy through supervised play than several hundred "cops." A large part of the solution of the boy problem lies, in my judgment, in providing some attractive and profitable means for using a boy's spare time. The boy who is turned loose on the street will move in the line of least resistance for his amusement. The average boy needs guidance more than court sentence. One-Act Play Best Vehicle for Amateurs By MARGARET DURWARD, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colorado In amateur dramatics the interest is found in the freshness and originality which is often displayed, but in detail and finished technique amateurs are often weak. For that reason plays which contain long-sustained parts, or extreme emotion of any kind should be avoided and those plays which afford plenty of "characterization" should be chosen instead. However, amateurs need not be afraid to try serious plays or even those which are strongly dramatic, if they are willing to undertake their work seriously and think out their parts with sincerity and care. A new dramatic form, one which has just come into prominence for amateurs, is the one-act play. Beginners can often do one scene well, bringing considerable enthusiasm and freshness into their work, when they cannot sustain a long part through several acts. There are other advantages in the one-act play. It gives an opportunity for more people to participate; it makes possible a program which is varied enough to please any audience; it takes less time to prepare and is less trouble to stage. This one-act play has found much favor with high-school and college clubs. One club in a Chicago suburb has given over forty short plays with much success. There is quite a long list of these one-act plays from which to choose; most of them having been written in recent years. Here are a few which may prove suggestive: "A Hero for a Husband." "The Neighbors"—Zona Gale. "Augustus in Search of a Father"—Harold Chapin. "The Rose With a Thorn"—Pierrot Play. Seven Short Plays (any one)—Lady Gregory. Comedies in Miniature—Margaret Cameron. If there's any good at all to come out of the European war, it may be found in the abatement and perhaps the eventual elimination of the tipping evil. Waiters in London and Paris and in the smaller cities in Europe where I went are complaining loudly that they are not getting any tips or not getting the tips they used to get. You see, the native Londoner, as well as the native Parisian, is not the one who caused tipping to become a nuisance. It was the American who caused the trouble. His prodigality spoiled the European waiters. Anybody who has traveled in Europe knows that the tips given employees not only in the hotels, but on trains, in the customhouses everywhere, were absolutely necessary if one was to get any service. Employers recognized it, and paid their employees less money than they were entitled to, the public paying. Since the war there has been comparatively little tipping done in any of the big European cities. The residents of London and Paris have had to cut down their tips because money is scarce, and there are very few Americans traveling. Perhaps the public will learn by experience that tipping can be done away with if all persons will combine in the movement, and this is the opportunity. At any rate, those in Europe who have heretofore depended largely on the tips of foreigners have perforce had to get along without them, and it is up to the public now to keep it going French Have Proved Superiority in Aviation By John Domenjos, Swiss Aviator, Washington, D.C. The French have proved the superior of all others in aviation. There has been a wonderful development of the aeroplane in France since the war began, and while the Zeppelins have wrought destruction in France as well as in England, the French have on all occasions demonstrated their superiority in the operation of aeroplanes. I should say that the ratio of efficiency is about five to two in favor of the French over the Germans in aeroplane operations. The Germans have a very good machine in the taube, but it does not compare with the French machines. The English, notwithstanding they were supposed to be ahea of other nations at the outset of the war, have fallen far behind. No one will presume to assert any longer that the airplane is not one of the most important instruments of warfare, if not the most important. It is yet in its infancy, however, and I look for remarkable developments even before the European struggle is ended. The battles in the air have shown that for offense and defense the biplane is the most valuable; in fact, it is the only machine for this work. For mapping purposes the monoplane is preferable to the biplane, but it is too light a machine for combat. Provide Means for Using Boy's Spare Time By REV. ROY L.

Mothers, Guard Your Little Ones From the Winged Pestilence. See That the House Is Carefully Screened and the Premises Kept Clean. Don't Ignore Fly Menace This Season Many persons do not realize what a serious menace the fly is to the health of this community. It is characteristic of the average man to ignore this kind of danger until it threatens his own family. "Oh, the fly may be the means of carrying a fatal disease to some puny person," you reason, perhaps, "but there's no danger of his bringing it to me—I'm in pretty good shape. I eat three square meals a day and sleep all right." That is a characteristic attitude of soldiers. Rather, it used to be so. Doubtless you remember the awful toll of life taken among the soldiers encamped at Chickamauga during the Spanish-American war. If you do not you can easily look 'it up. Those boys in blue "died like flies." Flies caused the death of most of those stricken with typhoid and dysentery. It came about in this way. Human excreta carries the bacteria of typhoid fever, cholera, dysentery, summer complaint, tuberculosis and intestinal diseases of other varieties. Flies feed on human excreta, as you know if you have kept your eyes open. The Lesson of 1898. Not a great deal about the value of camp sanitation was known in 1898. The American army medical corps was not organized as it is now. The mobilization place at Chickamauga was not clean. Garbage and sewage were not destroyed as they are now. In that large body of BEE men it was inevitable that some should be disease carriers. The waste matter which they threw off acted as an incubator for the bacteria which it carried. Flies and other insects, but especially flies, swarmed around the fifth sinks and fed. They were a frightful annoyance at meal time, and they were the army's most deadly enemy for they distributed dangerous germs among all the men. As a result fever and bowel diseases became almost an epidemic. As a nation we were taught a solemn lesson about the menace of insects. Our army medical men learned more in the Philippines, in Cuba, in Porto Rico and in the Canal Zone about the relation of flies, mosquitoes and lice to the spread of disease than had previously been learned in two or three thousand years. Cleaner Than Homes. Visit any of our army encampments today. They are kept cleaner than the average housekeeper keeps her premises. Special attention is given to the sanitary disposal of garbage, of sewage and of other waste matter coming from the camp hospital. Elaborate means of protection against flies, mosquitoes, lice and bedbugs are taken—but flies are considered the most flithy and dangerous from the medical point of view. It is safe to say that if this community should co-operate and act at once so as to clean up the town thoroughly, with special attention given to the breeding places of flies, the average of serious illness here would be reduced 50 per cent for the months of June, July, August and September. Such a clean-up campaign is not impossible. It means the spraying of manure piles with a simple kerosene solution every day or so, frequent removal of manure piles, screened toilets, covered garbage cans and the use of fly swatters and fly paper by everyone. THE MURDERER FLIES LAY EGGS IN MANURE "The most effective method of controlling flies is by preventing fly breeding," says Dr. W. A. Evans, an eminent health authority and publicist. "As a rule this means that no collection of moist manure is to be left accessible to flies for as long as a week during hot weather. "Fly eggs and larvae live for a week in hot weather in moist manure. Therefore, if manure is hauled away and spread oftener than once a week it will not breed flies. The advantage of a daily removal is that it means no manure boxes, manure pits or manure piles, and practical experience prove that give a stable an inch and it takes an ell. "The only places that have entirely conquered the fly nuisance remove manure daily. The only manure receptacles are small and portable. If prompt removal is not possible the next most effective procedure is treatment with chemicals. "The methods of treatment advised by authorities are with borax, or colemanite, or sulphate of iron. If the amount of manure is small and a good deal of ground is available, spreading in thin layers on the ground at intervals of three days or less is feasible and efficient." Consumption Germs Spread by Flies The great white plague—tuberculosis—plain, deadly consumption of the lungs, causes more deaths than any other disease in the United States. Flies are a big factor in the spread of this frightful aliment. To go into details of the subject is very disgusting, but disgust will not kill anyone. Consumption will, and flies help. Assuming that bedridden consumptives deposit their sputum only in closed vessels which flies cannot enter, consider the careless consumptive on the street. He has a coughing spell, raises germ-laden pus from his infected lungs and spits into the highway. Flies immediately swarm on this sputum, cover cover their padded, hairy feet with the stuff and buzz into the nearest open window or door. They alight on food spread on the dinner table—perhaps on the butter or in the milk. The germs deposited may not affect a vigorous person, but a member of They alight on food spread on the dinner table—perhaps on the butter or in the milk. The germs deposited may not affect a vigorous person, but a member of the family a little under the weather, a little low in vitality, may become infected. Will you help fight the flies? How to Make Fly Paper The use of sticky fly paper is better than the use of poison to trap flies. Once a fly alights on sticky paper he is pretty certain to stay there until he dies. If you place a saucer containing poison fly paper and water in the dining-room window, the flies drink the deadly stuff but they do not die immediately. They may not die until they reach the cream pitcher. If you want to make your own sticky fly paper, boll together equal parts of castor oil and resin and spread the substance on tough paper before it cools. THE KITCHEN CABINET The worry cow would have lived till now. now If she'd only saved her breath, But she feared her hay wouldn't last all day. Cold potatoes are so attractive in hundreds of dishes that it would seem as if we might break away from the fried variety. Creamed potatoes with finely chopped cheese served in a baking dish covered with buttered crumbs is a dish which is nutritious and good to look at. Diced potatoes mixed with a few chopped olives, celery and nuts or meat are dainty and tasty served in green peppers and baked. The shepherd's pie is another way of using leftover mashed potato. Fill a small bread pan with nicely seasoned chopped meat and cover the top with mashed potato, brush with an egg and bake. Another way, using more potato, line the dish with the potato an inch thick, bottom and sides, then fill in the meat and cover with potato. If the dish is well greased it will turn out in a fine loaf, which may be garnished with parsley and served cut in slices. Potato and Nut Croquettes.—Take two cupfuls of cold mashed potato, one-fourth of a cupful of bread crumbs, one-fourth of a cup of cream, one-half cupful of nut meats and the yolk of an egg. Cook together the crumbs and cream, then add egg and blend with the nuts and potatoes, season and form into croquettes; fry as usual. Potato Puree.—Take a cupful of mashed potato, a quart of milk, a tablespoonful of chopped onion, or the onion may be scraped, a teaspoonful of celery, two teaspoonsfuls of salt, cayenne pepper to taste, two tablespoonsfuls each of flour and butter. Add the milk to the potato and stir until smooth. The milk should be scalded with the onion and celery; strain this mixture into a double boiler and add two tablespoonsfuls each of butter and flour, cooked together; season with salt and pepper. If the potato has been previously seasoned it will need less salt. Reheat and serve very hot. One may use more mashed potato if a thicker purée is desired and less of flour. If celery salt is used in place of celery less salt will be needed. All fads in feeding must be taken with a grain of salt. The old story told of the Irishman who protested against the "animal food" prescribed by his physician, because as he explained after he had tried it for a few days, the bran wasn't so bad, but he couldn't manage the hay and oats. Of course in foods with no cooking "animal foods," such as fresh meats, are eliminated. Persons who make experiments are apt to be over enthusiastic because of successful results in a short time. One needs to give any sort of a bill of fare a trial of six months or a year before the real benefits are noticed. It would seem that this method would solve the everlasting problem of what to have for dinner, providing one didn't die of the monotony of it. The following menu, varied little, has been found to be perfectly sufficient for a man doing office work. For breakfast an orange or grapefruit, and egg beaten and added to a glass of milk. Half a dozen prunes, as many walnuts and a small bowl of ground wheat. The wheat, ground, as it comes from the thresher. For dinner, a salad of celery, lettuce or water cress. An egg beaten in a glass of milk, a small bowl of wheat, a piece of fresh cheese, an apple or two and butter used on the wheat. For luncheon or supper, half a dozen nuts, three or four figs, a glass of milk and an apple. The bill of fare may be varied by a variety of nuts, fruits and vegetables, bananas, peanuts and different kinds of cheese. These foods, with a quart of milk a day will be found sufficiently sustaining for light labor. It is well to state that this food is to be carefully masticated. One should sleep in a room with plenty of fresh air and have exercise daily in the fresh air as well as a daily cold sponge or plunge with vigorous rubbing. It will be found after using this diet for months at a time one may partake of a hearty meal, eating everything from appetizer to dessert with no ill effects. Nellie Maxwell There is no sultana of Turkey. It was not for centuries been the custom of the sultans of Turkey to contract regular marriages. The sultan designates from the inmates of the harem a number—nowadays very limited—of women who are called "Kadin," or full wives; this title is only given, however, after a child has been born to the sultan. All children born in the harem, whether their mothers are free or slaves, are legitimate and of equal lineage. Make War on Flies: Ward Off Disease In order to make this community a better place to live in, we must declare war on the house fly at once. If we do not slip up on him and strike the first hard smashing blow, he is going to come at us in overwhelming numbers. How may we successfully fight the fly? By destroying or removing his breeding place, the manure pile, removing all garbage and making the privy vault fly-proof, and by keeping our yards and alleys clean. We must screen our houses and use the swatter and sticky fly paper without let-up. Where is the fly born? In filth, generally in horse manure and outhouses, sometimes in the flesh of dead and rotting animals—never in any clean, wholesome place. The life cycle of the fly's birth runs about ten days from the time the egg is laid until the mature insect is born. A maggot is hatched from the egg. The maggot becomes a pupa (a state corresponding to the tadpole state in frog life), and the pupa becomes the mature fly that helps to make life miserable for us in warm weather. Flies Live in Filth Where does the fly live? Where there is filth, and there is nothing too filthy for the fly to eat. He eats clean food also, but his special delight seems to be wallowing in filth, then buzzing into the house and wiping his feet and wings on substances you are about to eat. Watch him and see for yourself. Think of the most sickening, disgusting places where you have seen flies. Think of them until your palate is light and the pit of your stomach ticklish. For if you think hard enough about this dangerous, nasty insect pest you will help fight his whole tribe with all your might. The fly's favorite place of residence is in the manure pile, the privy-vault, the garbage can and the spittoon. But he is a restless insect and unless he can wander more or less freely he is unhappy. So when the fly tires of the manure pile, the privy-vault, the garbage can and the insect and unless he can wander more or less freely he is unhappy. So when the fly tires of the manure pile, the privy-vault, the garbage can and the spittoon ne makes an excursion into the kitchen, dining room and bedrooms of the nearest residence. He Breeds Disease. What does he do in these places of exploration? He wipes his feet on the food, bathes in the milk, or drowns in it, and annoys the sleepers. If there is a sick person around, a consumptive or instance, he alights on the patient's lips or invades his sputum cup and takes on a load of deadly germs. This he distributes on the food, on the baby's lips or on your own if you are not very careful to shoo him away. A busy death's head is the house fly. He killed more American soldiers in the Spanish-American war than the bullets of the Spaniards, and was the direct cause of much of the typhoid fever in the United States last year. He cannot be ignored safely. The only way this town can effectually exterminate files is to make an organized effort. Our municipal authorities and health officers should map out a campaign immediately and enlist the active aid of everybody in the community. Creamed potatoes with finely chopped cheese served in a baking dish covered with buttered crumbs is a dish which is nutritious and good to look at.

The neatest yard now has a smooth lawn grass sod kept closely mown, while the flowers and shrubbery are restricted to the sides and rear. This not only renders the lawn more easily kept than where there are flower beds to mow around and trim, or trees or shrubs to dodge, but it is really more restful in appearance. If there is room for only one shrub, let it be Hydrangea paniculata, the magnificent tresses of bloom lasting for weeks. It should be cut back every spring fully half of the previous year's growth. While this may go against the will it insures larger blossoms and more of them. A liberal mulching with stable manure is also in order. Roots may be transplanted in either spring or fall. The Deutzias have extreme hardiness, neat form, profusion of bloom and early blossoms to commend them, and are worthy of a place in any collection. Several of the Spireas are beautiful with graceful rose colored or white blossoms. While not all of these withstand the late frosts which come in May, just when they are ready to put forth their feathery bloom, the beauty of the blossoms when they are perfect atones for an occasional miss. Among June blossoms none are greater favorites than the syringa or mock orange, the flowers being as fragrant as beautiful. While the shrub itself is perfectly hardy, late frosts sometimes kill the buds; and an observing grower gives the rule that there will be orange blossoms when there will be peaches. Calycanthus is a curious shrub, the brownish blossom being odorous of strawberries, yet with so many beautiful as well as fragrant blossoms it could scarcely head the list. Purple fringe is an odd plant, the name smoke tree perhaps more accurately describing the appearance after midsummer, when the pedicels lengthen, branch and bear long plumy hairs, either greenish or tinged with red. The Spigelia is handsome when in bloom, the tubular blossoms of white, rose or purple being produced in profusion. A variety with leaves variegated with gold is especially pleasing. Instead of planting in rows the fancy is now to group the shrubs and the flowers for cutting. Place the taller ones in the rear with the shorter ones in front.

PLANTS FOR NORTH WINDOWS To make boxes in windows with a northern exposure attractive and cheerful fill them with the following plants: For vines, plant either variegated vincas or English ivy, or both intermingled. Vincas are very bright, but they will not survive exposure to freezing temperature, while English ivy will stand unhurt all through the winter. Either of these vines should be planted about one foot apart. The main part of the boxes can be planted with begonias, which can be procured from any florist in various colors, white, pink, red. The boxes, if planted wholly with material of a uniform height, are apt to have an artificial appearance, to prevent which, plants that grow taller and having a more graceful habit should be placed, say, one to every half dozen of the others, and for this purpose few plants equal dracaena terminals. Pansies do fairly well in the shade, and so does salvia or scarlet sage. If English ivy is used for a vine, it will be found to be of advantage in that when the other plants in the boxes are killed by frost the ivy remains and can be left all winter, with the space taken up by the other plants filled with small evergreens. OLD-FASHIONED FLOWERS The rose-geranium slip planted early in May will soon become an immense plant with most luxurious foliage, which is one of the prettiest things for finishing your bouquet. The leaves can be used for scenting handkerchief boxes, and a leaf placed on top of your jelly will give it a delicious flavor. When only a few flowers are grown do not depend on the mignonette alone for fragrance. There are many other fragrant plants that have the added advantage of being beautiful in form and color. Brugmansia is a tender greenhouse shrub, and if started out of doors in the spring must be potted before frost. The flowers are beautiful—first a pale cream, turning to a pure white. They are trumpet shaped and the shrub is sometimes called "Angel's trumpet." By BETTY PAKE. BRUGMANSIA NEWS and GOSSIP OF WASHINGTON ```markdown ``` American Flag Under Lions That Look British WASHINGTON.—Four bronze lions, said to be exact copies of those on the Trafalgar square Lord Nelson monument in London, couchant on flags presumed to be the American colors, form a group on the Grant monument in section, therefore, is the most conspicuous. The center is raised, and on this elevated base is the large tablet on which the inscription is to be placed. Around this base, at each of the four corners, is a crouching lion, under whose body is stretched a flag, which, by the American eagle forming the head and by the fact that it is a monument to an American hero, might be taken to be the American standard. The fact that the lions are copies of the British lions on the Trafalgar square monument in England and the sight of the flag stretched under their bodies has caused many tourists and other observers to wonder just what the motif of the group is intended to express. To an artist perhaps the proud attitude of the crouching figures might convey an air of heroic protection, but to the ordinary mind this same proud appearance might mean haughty possession, and it is this latter impression, probably, which has caused the inquiries to be raised. Commerce Department Talks of Volcano Foundry A PROPOSED novel co-operation with nature in a manufacturing enterprise, whereby the great volcano of Kilauea of the island of Hawaii would be made to serve as a gigantic foundry for casting sewer pipe and bricks, is by the governor of the islands that congress authorize the federal department of commerce to co-operate in the work. The possibilities of casting sewer pipe from the molten lava of the volcano have been studied by a retired pipe manufacturer from the United States who recently visited the islands, and he has even suggested details of the procedure by which buckets of exceedingly refractory material on an endless chain would bring the molten lava from the bed of the crater to its rim, where the pipes would be cast. Buckets capable of resisting 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit easily can be provided, it is declared, while the temperature of the lava has been found from scientific observations to be about 1,800 degrees. At such a high degree of heat the lava, it is believed, would remain liquid during the short time necessary to transport it to the molds. Though the plan is so out of the ordinary that it sounds almost visionary to the layman, it is explained to the commerce department by its agents in Hawaii that Kilauea presents one of the best opportunities known anywhere in the world for industrial utilization of the earth's natural heat, since the lake of molten material is accessible and relatively quiescent, and workshops may therefore be erected and manufacturing operations carried on close to the rim of the crater. Senator Reed's Secretary Bests the Constable DON HUNT of Kansas City, secretary to Senator Reed, is the hero of District of Columbia autoists by reason of his victory over Maryland constables who arrested him Sunday for driving his "flivver" into the state without a Maryland "I am willing to take oath that this is my second invasion of Maryland," said Hunt. The J. P. perused the law and reluctantly handed back the fine. Under a recent decision of the Supreme court of the United States residents of Washington are required to have both Virginia and Maryland licenses in addition to the District tax if they desire to tour the neighboring commonwealths. Hunt, however, has convinced the Marylanders that this ruling does not apply to Missourians unless they exceed the tourist limitations. Col. Harts Training His Watchmen to Be Camels Col. Harts Training His Watchmen to Be Camels COL. W. W. HARTS, superintendent of public buildings and grounds, who is an advocate of preparedness, is putting his "watchman's brigade" at the state, war and navy building through a course of training for service in northern Mexico or any other old waterless have to use on long marches and mountain climbing. In a sense, also, the "brigade" is getting practice in the use of firearms. Ever so often in the week, usually after the departments are closed for the day, the colonel gets his assistant to turn in a fire alarm in some remote corner of the building. Thereupon thirty-odd watchmen in brass buttons and blue coats go tearing through corridors and bounding up stairways carrying fire extinguishers. These hand grenades are aimed at the imaginary fire by that section of the "brigade" which, for purposes of military training, may be regarded as the machine-gun platoon, while those assigned to the heavier artillery handle the heavy hose lines. Monday afternoon, however, is the time when the colonel takes greatest pride in his brigade. Promptly at 3:30 o'clock, the members of the "brigade" line up on the lot back of the state, war, and navy building, and are inspected. The colonel, with his assistant acting as adjutant, walks slowly along the line in front of the men, and then along the line in back of the men, inspecting the hang of their clothes and the erectness of their carriage. ```markdown ``` section, therefore, is the most conspicuous base is the large tablet on w Around this base, at each of the four body is stretched a flag, which, by the fact that it is a monument to an the American standard.

C A pleasing coat of taffeta, as plain as the mode allows, is pictured above. Its lines flare from the shoulders and underarms down with generous fullness at the back and sides and a little less at the front. Its flaring is managed in the cutting, and the fabric must be wide to accomplish it. There are plain, roomy sleeves finished with cuffs with velvet ribbon bordering them. A wider band of velvet borders the smart collar, and three widths of ribbon adorn the bottom of the coat, with the widest band placed just above the hem. There are pockets at each side of modest proportions as compared to those which some designers feature both on coats and dresses. A coat of this kind made in one of the changeable taffetas in dark colors (blue and black, purple and black, blue and green, are examples) and finished with black velvet ribbon, or made in a solid dark color, will owe its wearer nothing at the end of the summer and fall seasons. It is as practical as it is pretty, and is usually made in black. There are many much ruffled and ruched and plaited coats in taffeta. Hats Must Suit Occasions A T You may have almost any kind of hat you will, without uneasiness as to its good style, if it is well made and has trimming of some kind. Everything is decorated, from sports hats to evening hats, and millinery is abloom with flowers and other trimmings, in greater profusion than for many years past. Even the average woman refuses to oe satisfied with one or two hats with which to face the summer season. Besides a hat for street or traveling, and a dress hat, she must have a motor hat and a sports hat, or she may make a sports hat do more than double duty. Milliners say that women have grown very discriminating and insist upon millinery made to suit the several occasions that take up the days of the good old summertime. Those for sports and those for motor wear are to be had in good styles but comparatively low prices Street pats and dress hats have advanced in price as a natural consequence of more trimming and additional work in making them. In the picture two dress hats and a sports hat are shown. At the left a model for midsummer has a crown of nemp with a wide brim of lace hair braid edged with plain hair braid. Set about the crown, where it joins therim, is a wreath of pansies and leaves. The blossoms are scattered. very generous in their proportions and further amplified with attached capes. One wonders where all the taffets used is coming from, for it is away in the lead as a popular material for afternoon frocks and suits, petticoats jackets, and bathing suits. Then it is much used in bands on dresser made of both heavier and lighter goods. It is shown in many patterns. There are plain colors, and plain colors with sprigs of flowers over the surface. There are checks and stripes, plaids and cross-bars, besides innumerable changeable effects. Its crispness and body, with its light weight, make it an ideal material for our present fashions. In the very light changeable colors it makes the daintiest of morning or negligee coats Several of the foremost costumers are using taffeta in ruchings, and fraying the edges. These are used when ever plaiting and ruchings may be used, which is about everywhere. The coat in the picture might be trimmed with them instead of with velvet bands. By making a fuller sleeve and adding a shoulder cape, which may be detachable, it may be made to speak the last word in taffeta coats. 2 They are beautifully made and placed in a way to call attention to the faithfulness with which they copy nature. A bow of narrow velvet ribbon is mounted under the brim at the back. At the left a leghorn with crown covered with lingerie lace is lifted at the back by a bandeau. Narrow val lace is plaited and sewed row after row over the crown, which may be of wire covered with chiffon. There is a small bow with long ends mounted at the front, made of faille ribbon. A wide ribbon is sewed to the under side of the brim edge across the back and gathered into the bandeau, where it is finished with a short loop over the hair. Above, on the upper brim, a place is found for a cluster of blossoms. This hat suggests a good way to remodel a leghorn. A sports hat which will keep off the sun is pictured in the center of the group. It is a type which is made in many materials. The decoration is an applique cut from a printed fabric (cretonne, for instance) and pasted against the shape with a millinery glue. It is outlined with needlework in black yarn. This is a favorite style which may be had with linen, cotton, or silk covering. Julie Bottomly RESIDENCE PHONE YORK 7992 FRANK S.
