LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN TAKES THE MOB TO GOD IN PRAYER-A UNIQUE AND IMPRESSIVE SERVICE. VOL. XXIII. THE NATION ASSOCIA COLOR TAKES THE MOB TO GOD I IMPRESSIV By Jonathan Cover. (Special to Colorado Statesman.) "MASTER, we have toiled all the night and have taken nothing; never- theless at Thy word I will let down the net." Thus spake Simon Peter, who after the fishermen had washed and abandoned their nets, wearied and discouraged by ill-success, sought the advice and favor of the Master, Who directed him to launch out into the deep and let down their nets, and who thereupon were rewarded by a draught of fishes which brake their nets. The experience of the American Negro in his fifty years' progress towards a plane of civil liberty and equality is a sad and tragic illustration of his humanely impotent, defenceless and unprotected civic condition. These years represent in truth but a slightly ameliorated continuation of the chapters of Negro life, written through tears and suffering, in the wilderness of slavery. Days and months and weeks and years, their backs were bent and seamed by the burden and the lash; but neither nor both could accomplish more than bend the body and bruise the flesh—the spirit, the immortal spirit, proceeding from the great Source of life and being, even in sorrow and distress, enjoyed a perpetual communion through the Spirit's voice, and thus by prayer, through faith, was made real and lasting, the inestimable blessings of hope. The softening of civil hardships through emancipation, though unreliable, unequal and wholly inadequate, seemingly lulled the Negro into a state of hopeful expectancy, resulting in the partial neglect and but spasmodic use of the weapon of the Spirit, which the Negro of that other day found so effective. As Simon Peter, disheartened by the fruitless toil of the night, abandoned his boat and washed his net, so the Negro, discouraged by persecution and proscription, has been, almost unknowingly, eased into a state of placid tolerance, where his civic boat must dangerously drift and where the net of his aspirations may fail to catch the illusive fishes of national esteem. In the same manner as in the days of bondage and to an intensified degree does the Negro now realize his utter human helplessness, and upon his knees in humble, contrite spirit, he again obeys the command of the Master to launch out into the deep waters of prayer and let down his net for the long-looked-for fishes of civic protection, liberty and equality. The savage cruelties and unexampled horrors to which he has been subjected since the first dawn of a pretended civil freedom, while startling in their frequency and not surpassed by the barbarous deeds of heathen tribes, reached an appalling climax in the recent awful tragedy of East St. Louis. The public and pulpit both, in tones of whispered accent, but mildly have condemned, and the voice of the nation, ever insisting upon its lack of power, confesses itself too mildly tongued to reach so far with either conviction or correction. In this situation it should cause no surprise when the Negro, through its womanhood, both the hope and inspiration of the race, turns to Him who slumbereth not nor sleeps, but Who with equal care holds in His mighty keeping the destinies of all His children. In this spirit more than 2,000 of the women of Washington assembled at 6 a. m. in the Metropolitan Baptist Church on the morning of July 11th, in response to the call of the National Association of Colored Women, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president, Miss Nannie Burroughs, chairman of the district unit, for an hour of prayer and devotion. There was no order of exercises and no program to be followed, but not since the Negro people came up out of the House of Bondage have there ascended to the Throne of Jehovah appeals so fervent, so agonizing, so soul-stirring. Prayers and sobs and tears were poured forth unrestrainedly. The fervor of spiritual thought and feeling, like an electric current, ran from pew to pew throughout that vast throng. One and another as the spirit moved them voluntarily took up the burden of petition for the suppression of lynching and mob DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 21 1917 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 21 1917 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House iable Negro Pap RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA violence—praying not for vengeance, for "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," saith the Lord, but, emphasizing the Negroes' helplessness and his firm reliance in the power of the Almighty to right all wrongs, establish justice and to secure the fruits of righteousness to the down-trodden and oppressed among the children of men. It has been frequently said that the Negro is not united—that he knows not what he wants; surely this early-morning prayer meeting, its singularity of purpose and oneness of thought should convince the most skeptical that at least the Negro women of Washington do accurately appraise the desperate condition of their people and are determined to shake heaven and earth to secure that rightful civic adjustment which equity demands and upon which every impulse of our nature must insist. Verily indeed have they launched out into the deep waters of prayer and have let down their nets for the blessings so sorely needed. SECRETARY BAKER ISSUES STATEMENT ON NEGRO OFFICERS Colonel Young Restored to Active Duty—Services Needed by War Department. IN RESPONSE to a letter from Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, Secretary Baker issued a statement July 7th, to the effect that Colonel Young has been restored to active duty. Dean Miller's letter to the Secretary transmitted the complaint of Attorney Charles S. Darden of Los Angeles, which represented the possibility of injustice being done Colonel Young at the present time. The correspondence follows: My Dear Prof. Miller: Through you to the students of Howard I desire to extend my congratulations on their success in procuring the training camp for Negro officers at Des Moines. Considering all the circumstances and conditions existing in our country today, it certainly was a great victory of the students of Howard for our race. Since they have done so well in that matter, I am inclined to invoke their aid in an effort originating with me, for a greater victory along the same lines. You perhaps have already heard that Captain Davis of the Ninth Cavalry has been sent to the Philippines with his cavalry in spite of his request for permission to re- --- main and render service with the colored soldiers in France. You perhaps also know that Lieutenant Colonel Young has been ordered to Presidio, our Army Hospital, for medical observation and treatment, in spite of the fact that Colonel Young is, according to my investigation, enjoying the very best of health of his life. There seems to be a disposition on the part of the administration to either isolate our regular commissioned army officers, or put them on the retired list; and it would be contrary to the time-honored custom and precedent of the War Department, to order commissioned officers into the Army Hospital and then permit them to come out of that hospital, except on the retired list. It is the opinion of men well informed on the subject, in this locality, that Colonel Young will be retired by the government for the purpose of preventing his further advancement in the army and his actual participation in the present war. You remember that the only three commissioned officers in the regular army, aside from the army chaplain, are, Colonel Young, Captain Davis, now en route to the Philippines, and Captain Green, stationed at Liberia, all of whom ought to be considered in the organization of the separate division of the 30,000 colored troops now being organized. But it now appears that neither of these officers will, in any way, be connected or associated with that division. It would certainly be as cowardly an act on our part to sit idly by and submit without protest to the retirement of Young, as it will be on the part of the War Department, through its Army Hospital which brings it about. I am also informed that an Ohio Senator protested vigorously against the Department's order of Davis to the Philippines, but, of course, without avail. Isn't there some method which can be pursued in behalf of our colored commissioned officers which would not embarrass them on the records of the War Department? CHARLES S. DARDEN. In transmitting this letter, Professor Miller said: The Secretary of War, Washington, D. C.: My Dear Sir:—I beg leave to submit the enclosed complaint against the War Department. I am indisposed to believe that any Department of the Government of the United States would place a stumbling block in the way of the patriotism of the humblest American citizen. I beg to hope that the War Department, through an authorized statement, will set at rest all such suspicions as are contained in the enclosed communication. KELLY MILLER. July 5, 1917. In response to Dean Miller's letter on July 7th the War Department issued the following statement: Dear Dean Miller:I have just received your note of July 5th and return herewith the complaint which you enclosed. I am very happy to tell you that the work at the Des Moines camp is progressing remarkably well and the reports I have from it are very good. The spirit of the men is fine, and apparently this encampment is going to do a very great deal of good, both to the country and to the men involved. Your correspondent writes chiefly about Lieutenant Colonel Young, a colored officer of the regular army and a graduate of West Point, and a man with a fine record for service in the army. Some time ago a board of officers passed upon his health and found him completely incapacitated for service; not obviously and visibly, but because, unfortunately, of their finding that he was afflicted with a chronic disease. My recollection is that it was Bright's disease. The report of the board was approved by the Surgeon General; but, in view of the fact that Colonel Young's record is long and honorable and the Government needs officers of his rank and ability, it was directed that another board be convened, to re-examine the question, so as to make quite sure that there could not be any error in the matter. I have directed that the report of the Board be returned to me personally before being acted upon, not because I find myself able to believe that any prejudice would produce the deep dishonor of a false report; but because I want to be able to give the assurance to all who inquire that I have given my own personal thought and attention to this case, in which so many are interested. I hope the board will find Colonel Young still able to perform active duty. In the meantime, I have directed that he be restored to active duty, and have at least the hope of being able to have his assistance for the present. Cordially yours. Cordially yours, NEWTON D. BAKER.

Many Matters of Unusual Importance for Consideration by War Body as Troops of State Are Mustered Into Federal Service. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—On the 18th, Governor J. C. Gunter delivered the following message to the members of the Twenty-first General Assembly, convened in extraordinary session: Mr. President and Members of the Treasury first General Assembly: "And for the support of this Declaration (of Independence), with a firm reliance upon the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor." You, the War Legislature of Colorado, are today enacting another solemn scene; you are renewing this pledge for yourselves and every one of us, for the most impossible to realize. I know, surrounded as we are with the comforts and pleasures of home life, yet terribly true it is, we are in a state of war and despair. We are in the evidence of this reality will be coming to us from over the seas. Yours is the grave responsibility of providing for the peace and good order of this state in this hour of peril and making provision for the future. General Assembly after General Assembly of this commonwealth may gather under this granite-supported dome; but no graver responsibilities come to us. We are now in the keeping of the Twenty-first General Assembly. Honored at any time is the citizen to be a member of the General Assembly of Colorado, but especially so to sit as a member of the War Legislature of our EXTRAORDINARY SESSION. The constitution of our state empowers the chief executive on extraordinary occasion to convene the General Assembly. The procedure has been in aid of your deliberations and the purposes of convening should be before you. Immediately upon the national declaration of a state of war, urgent messages are sent to all states in an inventory of our resources, our agricultural lands, our timber lands, coal, zinc, lead, copper, ordinary production, possible production; railroads, meadows, payroads; and in word, the power of Colorado and her citizenship to contribute to the nation's needs in the great world war. Urgent injunctions likewise came to guard our resources against an enemy to govern and to counsel to the governor and other committees in aid of state action were selected. They took up their respective fields of activity. Information was gathered, activities entered into and prepared and upon results attained. August 5th the National Guard of the state will be mustered into federal service. It was Colorado's duty to fill up this guard, at heavy expense. To Employ Women Conductors. Denver.—The Denver City Tramway Company advertised for girls to act as conductors on the trailers. According to a statement by the company over 200 of its employes are registered and because of the rigid physical examination given when they were employed, their chances are excellent for going to war. The company will replace those who go to war with girls. Daughters of men employed by the company will be given preference. They will be paid same wages as men. When our National Guard goes into federal service it will leave unprotected the properties and peace of our state. Provision must be made for a guard until the next regular convening of the General Assembly. For the reasons for the call have now been even. Consider them more in detail: THE CALL. 1. To provide by issuance of bonds or by taxes, or both, for paying expenses incurred by the National Guard, and to pay all other expenses arising out of the work of the National Guard and to make appropriation therefor. The estimated expense of maintaining the National Guard to July 1 is $60,000. July 1 to August 1, mobilizing the full National Guard, uniforming and equipping them, estimated expense $452,000. This should be credited with the $140,000 hereof appropriated. Only such guardmen were called to the colors prior to July first as were necessary to protect exposed properties, and when the order went out July first they were paratory to their being mustered into federal service, men useful upon farms were excused until August 1. Practically the entire guard was called, however, and the response was generous, and the men formed a new military formed their men before they were mustered into the national service and have in the most instances drilled for weeks. We are uniforming and equip-ment our soldiers, and any man will be made in the limited time to drill and give the manly training that becomes the soldier. Certain it is that this General Assembly would have our soldiers, when mustered into his state, and give the manly credit to our state. A fine body of troops they are rapidly becoming. They have been called to various armories, are being thoroughly drilled and when they pass in review before you—which will be so sensitive will you be of your National Guard. 2. A Guard to Maintain Order in the State. When the National Guard is mustered into federal service, the state will be without protection. Provision must be made. How, is the question the witness to ask, and how long does it take. Present laws must be amended, new laws enacted. The service should be such that it will not be depleted by the next national call, perhaps through limitation as age, but should be large enough, but capable of reduction when the necessities are less. The provision as to finances should be elastic so as to meet the maximum requirements, but not to be availed of if the Adjutant General's office of the cost of maintaining a guard from August 5 to the convening of the next General Assembly is $1,500,000. The estimate of that office and other information will be given your inquiries. The national government will require the organization of reserves to go into the federal service upon the next call for mustering in. The expense here will be substantial, the amount uncertain. It has been considered that has entered into the estimates given. 3. Conservation and Distribution of Food Supply and Increase of Production. Grave charges of food monopolies are made, serious claims of food devaluation, imperfect and inadequate methods of distribution. Certain it is prices are higher, some with reason, some without. Pertinent laws are imposed, and the laws are enforced and wise legislation by way of repeal and by affirmative action going to relief. Have no uncertainty, make enforcement practicable, be satisfied with approximate results. 4. State Banking Institutions; Federal System. While it is probable that under our laws as they now exist, state banks can avail themselves of the federal reserve system, there is some difference in the laws. It is enforced from Washington that an unequivocal in its terms be passed empowering the state banks to enter the federal reserve system. It is sufficient reason assigned is that its grave importance as a war measure. 5. Various Committees. A roll of honor should be kept not only of the members of these committees, but of the other acting claims of their private interests and given their time and means patrolitically to the service of their state. The Governor's Advisory Council to the Governor has taken charge of women's work throughout the state, forming subsidiary committees in every locality of the state and the service has received fees of aid, it is growing more helpful with every day. Among other committees are the Government Committees the Labor Committee the Physicians' and Surgeons' Committees, all busy in their respective fields in collecting reports and otherwise performing services of which time will not permit the men- The cabinet of high executive officers has an office counsel and service and in fact no citizen of the state, officer or otherwise, can respond to the call of the executive. DATA GATHERED. Some six weeks ago, realizing the importance of gathering material perimeter before this body, a committee was appointed of respected members of the bar, business men and one of the St. John's University. They set about immediately to gather, Government Lets Big Shoe Contract. Montevideo Greets U. S. Ships. Montevideo, Uruguay.-The American squadron arrived here. It was escorted into the harbor by Uruguayan warships. through telegraphic communications and otherwise, copies of legislation and other information that might be valuable to you, will be convene. Much valuable material has been gathered, many good suggestions made, all of which will be submitted for the consideration of this body. The body would be called from their business, anxious to return, solicitous of expediting the session, the material has been gathered and it is hoped will be sent to you. It will be placed at your service. In the past work of the various committees all services have been voluntary except certain clerical, stenological and expulsory services. A time goes on many citizens who will be useful in this work cannot afford for months to give their time. Further, other expenses will be incurred and some provision should be made. Under the advice of the War Advisory Council, a commission has just been sent to Washington, the mission of which will be to aid our Colorado delegation in calling attention to many grave matters in this state, such as the location of cantonments, the letting of contracts and other recognition by the national government. Whatever for their time, it is but reasonable the expense incurred should be borne by the state. Some provision should be made for like steps as occasion arises. To Provide for the Payment of Warrants provided on Account of Mobilization of the National Guard of the State in 1916. Due to an oversight this was not taken care of at your last sitting. LEGISLATION. The legislation asked divides itself into two classes: financial and miscellaneous. The revenue produced should be approximately two and a half million. Various modes of raising this revenue are suggested: income tax, increased inheritance tax, increased poll tax for men, poll tax for women, tax on corporations, millage levy, a bond issue. All should be considered. The provision should not all fall upon it, and therefore, should not involve long drawn-out contests upon the floor of the Assembly, legal attacks or delay in payment. Further, it should be particularly instructed that the bond should be such a provision as can be collected by the present machinery of the state and without additional expense. A further consideration is, it is now required that not all fall upon it. The bond will be required and such a provision should be made that the amount of the revenue laid would be dependent upon the necessities of the state. The assessed valuation of the state is sometimes required to be $200,000 for percentage mill levy would not be burdensome, not subject to constitutional or other legal objections, would be collectible with the present machinery and be immediately available. An attorney must issue a $200,000 bond to power to sell according to the necessities of our state life, would be wise. No burden would arise unless the bonds were issued and sold. No bonds would be required by the agencies of the future. A means for the payment of the interest of such bonds as are sold and for creating a sinking fund for their redemption may be provided through reimbursement of the costs of the bonds. In this connection it must be remembered, but not confidently relied upon, that it has been the custom of the national government to ultimately refund to the state the cost of mobilization. In this connection that this will be done in the future. Should any of the legislation suggested for the purpose of raising revenue involve protracted delay in consideration, it could be deferred until the ex-operative assembly and then enacted to provide a sinking fund to meet any of the bonds outstanding. Whatever is done as to the other financial legislation, it is urged that such legislation be presented as a bond issue authorized and that the attention of the Assembly be addressed to the early passage of these measures. Immediate action is also urged upon legislation providing in some form for legislation to take the place of the National Guard when mustered into federal service. The request for expedition in the enactment of the last-mentioned legislation must not be construed as minimizing the importance of other legislation to take the place of the National Guard. Great consideration has been given by members of your body and by other citizens to the grave questions which will come before your body for action. Bills will be submitted by your members covering all the questions emitted by this message, which will greatly aid your action. It is to be earnestly hoped that the session will be brief and that your labors may be in every way satisfactory to the nation. It is to be our state, and a stimulus throughout the nation if the fact can be that our lawmaking body has met and has promptly and without dissent enacted all needful legislation. Supposed to every duty thus far imposed, A call for $1,000,000 for the Red Cross; $1,500,000 given; $10,000,000 asked for Liberty Bonds; $16,000,000 subscribed. Registration asked of the state, involvement of the nation, culties, done practically without expense to the nation. Let us not be wanting when it comes to making provision for our soldiery, for the maintenance of domestic peace and order, for the safety of our nation, solemnly covenants to die if necessary for his country? And can we doubt that many of these manly young soldiers who pass us with their flying wings to the battlefield in death in a foreign land before the flowers of June bloom again? In conclusion, this great Republic of ours has decided alight every question, and has decided to its judgment, and has prevailed in the contest involved. Divinely guided, it has decided upon its course in this struggle, and has prevailed in the struggle consequent and when the clouds of war lift and it has righteously as the great world power adjusted the faculties between the earth and the peoples of the earth will call it blessed. An accomplished orator has rightly said: "In every turn of fortune, God has stood by the Republic. . . . Philosophers, as the sheer and rationalism may draw its conclusions; but the mysterious power unexplained by either has, from the beginnings of man." Cuba Votes War Fund. Havana.—The Cuban Congress unanimously passed a bill calling, for a treasury bond issue of $30,000,000 to provide funds for carrying on Cuba's part in the European war. Report Four-Legged Chick.

REICHSTAG VOTES PEACE,214T0116 CHANCELLOR MICHAELIS FAVORS ENDING WAR ON "HONOR- ABLE" TERMS. PRAISES VON HOLLWEG UPHOLDS POLICY THAT CAUSED UNITED STATES TO ENTER CONFLICT. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Copenhagen, July 20.—The Reichstag adopted the majority peace resolution by a vote of 214 to 116 with 17 not voting. Chancellor Michaelis in his address before the Reichstag said Germany would not continue the war a day longer if it could obtain an honorable peace. America's intervention was not regarded with serious concern. The German fleet, particularly the submarines, would master the situation, he said. Copenhagen.—Dr. Michaelis, the new imperial German chancellor, in his address to the Reichstag, declared his adhesion to the German submarine campaign, asserting it to be a lawful measure justifiably adopted and adapted for shortening the war. Dr. Michaelis opened his Reichstag speech with a hearty tribute to Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg, the retiring imperial chancellor, whose work, he said, history would appreciate. The chancellor declared that the war was forced upon unwilling Germany by the Russian mobilization and that the submarine war was also forced upon Germany by Great Britain's illegal blockade starvation war. The faint hope that America at the head of the neutrals, would check Great Britain's illegality, was vain. Germany's final attempt to avoid the extremity by a peace offer failed and the submarine campaign was adopted, said the chancellor. The submarine, the speaker continued, had done all and more than had been expected, and the false prophets who had predicted the end of the war at a definite time, had done a disservice to the fatherland. Dr. Michaelis, in the course of his address, said: "Bitter criticism has been directed against a highly-deserving man, who occupied this post before me. This criticism has been oft inspired by enmity and hate. I think it would have been better if enmity and hate paused behind closed doors. "When the history of this war lies open before us we shall all alike completely appreciate what Dr. von Bethmann-Hollweg's chancellorship meant for the enemy. "Appointed chancellor by the Emperor, I have the honor for the first time to communicate with your high house. A great weight has been laid on my shoulders in a most grave time. Trusting God and German might, I venture to undertake it and shall now serve the cause to the utmost of my power. I beg from you your trusty co-operation in the spirit which has been splendidly maintained in this body during the war." KAISER BEGINS TWO OFFENSIVES. Violent Blows Struck in Galicia Near Baltic and Soissons. London, July 20.—The Reuter Amsterdam correspondent sends the following: "According to information available here, which must, however, be treated with necessary reserve, two Americans were shot recently on the charge of having attempted to take the German Emperor's life." Germans have reinforced their armies on the eastern front and launched a strong offensive against the Russians along the Galician border. Further north the indications are that the Teutons are making a valiant effort to overcome the Slav army near Volhynia and on various sectors to the Baltic sea. The French lines are being subjected to violent fire from the Germans between Soissons and Rheims. Near St. Quentin they have delivered attacks on a front of about a half mile. The British and Germans are keeping up their artillery duels in northern Belgium. British gains are reported near Monchy-le-Preux. The British made a twelve-mile advance against the Turks up the Euphrates, while in the Caucasus the Russians have repulsed the Ottomans. Petrograd streets are patrolled by Cossacks and other mounted troops. Five Hundred Killed and Wounded. London, England.—A Reuter dispatch from Petrograd says the number of killed or wounded in the two days of disorder there is estimated at about 500. Miners of Leadville to Strike. Denver, July 20.—The "graveyard shift" will mark the beginning of the strike in the Leadville mining district, according to word issuend by the secretary of Cloud City Mining Union No. 33 Thursday. This shift is supposed to begin at 12 Friday night. This announcement follows the failure of the federal conciliation committee, Verner Z. Reed and former Chief Justice George W. Musser, to bring the operators and mine workers together on a compromise basis. Western Beef Co.

Proprietor SPECIAL SESSION COLORADO LEGISLATURE. THE SPECIAL session of the Twenty-first General Assembly commenced Wednesday afternoon when the Governor read his message to the representatives of the people on the war recommendations. The establishment of a home guard organization immediately, solution of the food problem and the expense attendant with the mobilization of the Colorado National Guard are important items in the message, the same to be freely discussed without unnecessary delay so as not to offer any impediment to the executive's program of Colorado's contribution to our national success in this terrible struggle. This being no time for party politics, realizing that any opposition merely for political show will retard the progress of the extra session. The Colorado Statesman urges our representatives to work in harmony with the governor and help to expedite matters, as newspaper criticisms and verbal opposition count for nothing when they offer no remedy or suggestion for what they term vague, indefinite and unsatisfactory. The get-together spirit, the expeditions service and the well balanced action resulting from this heart to heart conference should bring about the best for Colorado and its citizens in shaping ourselves to the moral and material support of our national honor and our country's cause in these perilous times. We will use all the power and influence at our command to whip into line any of our Republican Senators and representatives that attempt any obstruction (which we hope not) and Democrat newspapers of Colorado should see that their party now in power be not hampered by and in itself as it will prove their inability to administrate as well as expose them as opposers of the successful regime of their head and party. Success to the special session and may everything work for the good of our state and nation. DOMESTIC PREPAREDNESS THE OLD expression "in time of peace prepare for war," finds a sequel in the advice of "domestic preparedness." The coal men are advising us daily to put in our supply right now as every indication points to increase in prices, lack of teams, etc., and to be on the safe side for fall and winter, we had better take heed. The housewife with her anxious heart and rapidly working brain is suggesting to hubby to cut down on the smokes and theatrical performances and increase her allowance so that she can stock the larder as fast as the prices decrease in foodstuffs. These are some of the advantages to be gained, and the people of Denver should not be slow in "making hay while the sun shines." The last moment idea has and will always bring great inconveniences and sufferings, and if we can adopt the suggestions and abide the warnings against extravagance, the entreaties for early purchase, and acquiring the necessities conducive to healthy and successful living we will surely be equipped and become strong to meet other issues when presented to us. Watch the market reports; follow the sale-prices and commit them to memory—a recurrence of school days and becoming a second nature you will find yourself this year's end in a better position than last year. Seize this opportunity and like the ant, store now and have everything ready for winter and you'll not have the unfortunate experience of the cricket, who made gray in Summer and in his sportive role forget King Winter who came and found him unprepared and then he chirped his last tune. IN QUICK SUCCESSION OUR LEADERS GO. OUR LAST and the only representative gunner of our race we had in the United States Naval service was consigned with flattering testimonials to the class of the "has been" a few months ago, altho vigorous and every inch a man physically, by retirement after more than twenty years of service of the utmost efficiency. This was unexpected. Now comes another incident of grief—the intended retirement of our magnetic military leader, Lieut. Colonel C. E. Young; magnetic, because by dint of his perseverance, by the establishment of facts not to be disputed that nature and nature's God gave him qualifications not dissimilar to the white man in the evidences of the good results productive of his military knowledge in this country and the land beyond the seas; by the recognition of his superiority in military skill to have now promotion after promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonelcy which he now holds—hence the impending action begins to fill us with grief. According to the communication from Secretary of War Baker, any common-sensed Negro American can read between the lines, that our worthy military leader is now left to the mercy, the the charity of a Medical Board who has already passed upon his physical impairment and who has also recommended retirement, but owing to the pity and graciousness of the high war official he is still in "active service." Can our leader come back? This is a question that we hope will not be allowed to be answered by the resurrection of the Spirit of a Touissant I'Overture in Liberia or some other far off country as then one could begin to feel the approach of the Millenium. Vengeance! Oh, what a calamity! the peoples and races of the earth are beginning to return to their original habitations! Whisper it not! It cannot be, it must not be. The scales are removed, the eyelids separate, the pupils dilate to their maximum, the light of a civilization is reflected from the retina, every brain cell and nerve tissue respond to the new era, and what may seem a curse may be a. blessing, a seeming loss, a palpable gain, an untimely death, a perpetual resurrection that will never be bothered or tampered with until Mother Earth ceases to revolve on her imaginary axis. "Our leaders go in quick succession and slowly, very slowly are their places filled," the words of an able race leader, who after he thought the spirit of prejudice and lawlessness in his country was suppressed and in fact obliterated, was so impressed with its return after nearly a century of his untiring efforts, that in his dying moments he shouted, "How long! O Lord, how long!" and then closed his eyes in the sleep that knows no waking as far as earthly things were concerned. That Lieut. Col. Young is slated to be retired is clear to the most ordinary thinkers on what is now presented to us, but as the adage puts it, "There is a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip,' we will withhold further comment until we find if the 'slip' is in his favor. The Colorado Statesman in its admiration of another Negro of universal fame hopes that if the U. S. military authorities can see nothing but retirement, that the usefulness of our great military genius and leader may not terminate with this country, but find a more prosperous and brilliant career in some other part of God's creative world, where the man is measured by all the concomitant qualities that go to make THE MAN OF UNIVERSAL RECOGNITION. "We live by deeds, not thoughts, etc. Trained Women for the Work of Military Relief Greatly Needed By MAJ. GEN. LEONARD WOOD, U. S. A. There are two ways, especially, in which women can aid in the present crisis: M. H. H. 1. By working in industry, thereby releasing men for the front, and 2. By joining the American Red Cross. Vast numbers of women are now working in the various supply establishments making munitions, clothing and the like, but the time is not yet here when women need to go into the factories to take the places of men. But the time is here, not merely for the Red Cross to prepare, but to meet the actual test of real service. Trained women for the work of military relief are needed. The immediate call is for competent nurses. A soldier's life is too precious to risk in unskilled hands. Nurses must largely be drawn from the hospitals of the cities, and women must be found to take the places of many nurses in civilian hospitals. If the time comes when women must go into industry, the burden of caring for children must be shifted from many mothers and homes or nurseries must be found for infants. It is the Red Cross that will be called upon for this service also. Aid Given Nation by Women in War Will Hasten Day of Full Suffrage Aid Given Nation by Women in War Will Hasten Day of Full Suffrage What influence will the war have on the woman suffrage movement? What will woman suffragists do to help their country during the war? We shall not, of course, discontinue woman-suffrage propaganda. We realize that it may be more difficult than heretofore, since the thought and interest of the country are centered on the war. We know that it will not be easy to raise money for woman suffrage, to create new organizations, to hold public meetings. It will be necessary, probably, to change somewhat the character of our efforts. But the spirit of the times fights on our side. The thought of the people of these United States is turned toward democracy these days. Furthermore, men see that their own patriotism is duplicated in their women. They see that the services of women in time of stress, as in ordinary daily life, are just as essential as the services of men, and are given just as generously, just as faithfully and efficiently. I believe that every woman who shows herself patriotic, faithful, efficient, is doing her share to hasten the day of the enfranchisement of women, when this government shall actually become what it has up to this time only pretended to be, a government of, by and for the people. Bread Still One of Cheapest of Foods Even at Increased Prices By H. E. BARNARD In the desire to economize housewives may cut down the use of bread because the size of the loaf is decreasing and the cost constantly increasing. This is unfortunate. Bread is our best food. In the diet of most people it is the largest single item. Today flour sells at about the same price as sugar, and the flour bill seems appallingly large to those who for years have purchased flour at three cents a pound. But even at ten cents a pound flour is cheap food when compared with meats and vegetables. If any attempt to practice economy by using less flour or eating less bread compels the purchase of more meat or vegetables, the expense for food is increased rather than diminished, and the family may be less successfully fed. If we can crowd into the daily diet as much as one pound of good bread a person a day, we are certain that the family will not be badly fed. Of course the bread must be supplemented by fats which are usually supplied by butter and by more lime and iron. The lime, especially for young children, is provided in milk, and fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in iron. If fruits and vegetables are not obtainable or are sold at prices which seem extravagantly high, special care should be taken to use a whole-wheat flour or a loaf which contains more mineral matter and cellulose than the white loaf of the baker. Women Must Know Their Part in War Is to Stop Staggering Food Waste By MRS. JOHN DICKINSON SHERMAN Chairman Conservation Department, General Federation of Women's Clubs It is inexcusable at this time for women not to inform themselves concerning the various phases of food conservation as it affects the individual, the community, the nation and our allies. One of the greatest present needs is scientific direction in food nutrition and food economy. Thousands of women are eager to be thrifty, to use their resources wisely; but they do not know how. Sane, practical home economics instruction is greatly needed. The women of the country must be made to realize as never before that it is their part in this war to stop the waste that goes into the garbage pail—a waste that has been estimated a $700,000,000 annually. The figure is staggering. This is what two ounces saved a day by 100,000,000 people means. Our responsibility does not depend upon peace or war. If peace were declared tomorrow, the conditions would be the same. Famine threatens a large part of the world. America's responsibility is just the same. We must feed ourselves and our allies till normal conditions return. The work that confronts us women is no mere pastime for summer months. It will be a long and hard struggle. Haphazard methods and spasmodic methods will not do. The work must be intelligent and persistent. Take stock. What is your bit? Will you promote boys' and girls' clubs or put up a dozen glasses of jelly or dry five pounds of vegetables? Decide what you can do, and begin now.

For young girls who have finished grammar school, who have no money for further study and who are under the necessity of providing for their own support, there is much to be said in favor of some form of household work. Unfortunately, a great prejudice exists against it; but an ambitious girl has as good, if not better, opportunities for advancement than factory work provides. In the factory she will be obliged to work as hard as she can all the time in order to earn a living, and it is impossible to keep up this effort for more than a few years without a nervous breakdown. While in some factories she will have an opportunity to learn a trade and gain advancement, this is not always the case. The higher positions are comparatively few, and the conditions in the factories not always satisfactory.—Exchange. There was something about the family Paisley that was almost, if not fully, as respectable as the family carriage. A great deal depended on its quality, of course. It had to be double, and it had to have cashmere "centers" in salmon, scarlet, green or lavender. Doubtless thousands of Paisleys, carefully laid away by grandmothers, will be brought out, in case the garments again become stylish. But one cannot refrain from regretting that so many of them were cut up to make the wraps that followed the disappearance of the shawls. Operatic Opulence. "You must love art to pay such enormous salaries to grand opera singers." "I'm not sure," replied Miss Cayenne, "whether it indicates a love for art or an indifference to money."

A. Thos-Hazell, 712 Twenty-ninth street, occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Greer of Topeka, Kans., on the first floor, and Mrs. Lily Hughes on the second floor, caught fire last Saturday afternoon on the roof. The fire department masterfully fought the flames and thus saved the building. The entire roof will be replaced. The second story will also be renovated. Property was adequately secured with insurance. Mr. Graves represents the International Tailoring Company of New York and Chicago, accredited as being among the great designers and makers of men's clothes in the country, and is one of their most successful representatives. This affords an incentive for our aspiring young men, and in spite of the oppositions that we suffer as a whole, yet merit will be given recognition and the positions won by the exercise of judicious thought and ambition. The usual royal entertainments that Mr. and Mrs. Hall are proverbially famous for were extended to their nephew, who enjoyed a continuous round of pleasure from his arrival to the time of his departure. He left with much reluctance unceasing in his praise for Denver and Denverites. THE DENVER BRANCH OF THE N. A. A. C. P. This organization is preparing to give a unique summer fete and flower carnival at the Negro Women's Club Home Association, August 13, 1917. As the N. A. A. C. P. never does things by halves, the public may be sure this carnival will be a huge success, having for its object the raising of a Home Defense Fund to meet the constantly increasing demands being made upon the Denver local. Among the many meritorious cases to come before the body is the one of Paul Massingale, a young colored boy arrested Sunday for stabbing a state militiaman following an altercation over a demand that the colored boy give his seat to a white woman. The N. A. A. C. P. propose to see that young Massingale has proper defense. NEGRO YOUTH STABS LOCAL SOLDIER IN FEAR OF HIS LIFE. On Sunday afternoon last on an inbound Englewood car, Paul Massingale, a Negro youth of about 17 years, stabbed Joseph M. Nelson, a member of Battery B of the recently formed state troops in an altercation over a seat in the street car. It is stated that the trouble was caused over Massingale's refusal to give his seat to a WHITE WOMAN on the request of Nelson and a number of other soldiers who were passengers on the car, and who would not offer any of their seats to this gentle sex of their race, but approached the Negro and demanded him to vacate his seat. Nelson, with his fist clenched, stood over Massingale (as the boy asserts) and said to the other soldiers: "Let's throw him off the car." The car being in motion at a fairly high rate of speed, and the young Negro realizing the imminent danger and the majority against him, resorted to the only source of protection he could think of (as he states), and hence the soldier was hurt. The boy remained on the car with no attempt to escape, was arrested and now is in the city fail. Fellow Negroes! the tests are coming fast, furiously and numerously, and we must prepare to respond, not in a heat of passion; not suddenly in our retaliation, but with that deliberateness which will bring about results that may transform our greatest opponents or enemies to our best supporters and friends. We know this boy of our race and his parents for many years among the most quiet, inoffensive citizens of Denver—the boy working honestly as a porter in a barber shop for some time. At this stage it is imprudent to offer an opinion as justice must have its course, and relying upon the fairness of our jury and jurists we expect a thorough investigation and a just result upon the wrongdoer in this matter—that is whether the soldier or the accused youth was the aggressor, and whether under the circumstances the boy acted on the impulse in self-defense. Keeping within the bounds of the law, we are quite in order to suggest anything that will help towards a successful defense, and our advice for careful action in our speech, etc., does not intend to convey "we must not get busy." Let us move with electric-like gait and with that expeditious feature insuring the best legal help for the defense of this youth—not tomorrow or the day after, but TODAY. Individuals, church leaders, fraternal organizations, get ready. Open your treasury, loosen your pursetrings, and if necessary empty your pocketbooks because this case is extraordinary, and with the recent happenings to our people in other parts of the country and in proximity to our state, how soon or under what circumstance we know not, but we are convinced now, if at no other time in our history the significance of PREPAREDNESS. Do not hesitate, as this is not a case of civilian versus civilian, but a civilian versus Uncle Sam's agent, the people's war representative and instrument to enforce pease, so that the importance of the matter on both sides removes from an individuality of action to something collective and representative. Many of us know the parents as being good Christian people in our community and their endeavors in training this boy, and therefore in a practical way we can show our sympathy by offering some timely help in assisting to secure him every available means of help in this his unpremeditated trouble. We are asking our subscribers not to take offense at the bills we send them, as the debts are of long standing and the law compels us to file an accurate statement of our income. Your early settlement will be greatly appreciated. MEMORIAL PRESENTED TO GOV ERNOR FRANK O. LOWDEN BY CHICAGO SELECT CITIZENS' COMMITTEE. To His Excellency Frank O. Lowden, Governor of Illinois: This memorial is presented to your Excellency in behalf of two hundred thousand citizens of your state who belong to the Colored race—or citizens of African descent. The recent mob violence directed against our people in East St. Louis proves conclusively that something is radically wrong, either in our system of government or in the conceptions of justice and Christianity of the American people, is at the foundation of the trouble. The government of the United States was founded for liberty and justice to all people. Its soldiers are now on the battle-front in Europe ready to fight for a universal democracy; the Colored citizens are called upon to tender their quota, both by volunteers and by conscription, for the maintenance of the high ideal of our country and the protection of its institutions, and in no emergency have we failed to respond to our country's call. If the constitution of our native land affords protection to all citizens, naturalized and native born, except citizens of African descent, we should know it. If the fight for a world democracy means that all people should share in its benefits, except the American Negro, the world should be made to understand the limitations of its fight for freedom and opportunity. We are in no position to exercise force. We would be reckless and foolhardy indeed to do other than appeal to the best conscience of the American people and ask that the Constitution be respected as to all citizens alike. In the struggle for advancement and the betterment of the conditions of the masses the Negro is animated by the same impulses that influence all other human beings. We shall not willingly submit to be serfs in a land of freemen. We shall demand, with all the energy at our command, that the rights of citizens be accorded us, and that our government protect us against all lawbreakers when those rights are invaded. The member of the mob who bands with others to trample upon the Constitution and the laws is just as much a traitor to his country as the slacker and the spy in time of war. Such men should be dealt with as traitors, and the heavy hand of the law should come down upon them; and every loyal American should rally to the maintenance of the law and insist upon the swift and sure punishment of the lawless. We wish to voice our vigorous protest against all influence which tends to justify the deprivation or curtailment of the rights of the citizens. We protest against the conclusions of the State Council of Defense to the effect that citizens should not freely travel from one section of our country to another in their effort to better their condition and prepare for the future of their children. If foreigners may freely come and find a peaceful domicile in any part of the United States, we insist that no provision of our Constitution justifies the limiting the rights of the native born Colored citizen in the enjoyment of such privileges. We protest against those organizations which, under the pretext of bettering the condition of the laboring man, would violate the sacred principles of the Constitution of the land by depriving other citizens, through threats, intimidation and violence, of the rights that they themselves enjoy. The time has come when all the world should know whether our country stands for freedom and justice and equality for all citizens, under the law, or whether any part or class of its citizenship is to be deprived of those privileges with the sanction of the Government—local or national. Twelve million Negroes await anxiously the settlement of this momentous question. We are but "a drop in the ocean" as compared to one hundred million citizens of America. We can do naught but appeal to the best conscience and Christian spirit of that vast body of American citizens who believe in law—who believe in God—who believe in the destiny of America—to point the way to a greater freedom and a wider liberty to all the peoples of the earth. If the answer should be, that to us alone these blessings shall be denied, and for us must be slavery and serfdom or annihilation, we are ready for the sacrifice—for never will we, of choice, accept anything but justice. But should that day come (and God grant it may not!), freedom will have perished from the face of the earth and Christianity will be but a mockery. The above was presented to the Governor of Illinois recently by a delegation consisting of leading Colored state and city officials and other citizens whose names are as follows: Edward H. Wright, Louis B. Anderson, Rob- CLEARANCE SALE Now On ert R. Jackson, Robert S. Abbott, Benjamin H. Lucas, Archibald B. Carey, Shedrick B. Turner.— Chicago Defender. COLORADO'S COLORED BATTAL LION. Headquarters 2515 Welton St., Denver Company A of Denver, in response to order started military instructions last Tuesday evening. Major Campbell and officers of the Company, Captain Elliston, First Lieutenant Lee and Second Lieutenant Neal felt much encouragement over the interest displayed by the men and hope to prove within a comparatively short time the valuable asset this battalion will be to the state and national soldiers. All information relative to recruiting, time and place for drilling, etc. can be rotten at the above address. Colorado Springs, with the determination to prove the loyalty of Negro citizens to this country formed the nucleus of a company on Friday of last week under the direction of Major Thomas Campbell. The following were elected officers: William H. Bess (Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias organization, Colorado), Captain; Charles Banks (formerly of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry) First Lieutenant, and A. S. Fisher, a very energetic, leading character among the young men of that city, as Second Lieutenant. The company promises to be a real competitor with Denver and Pueblo, and throws out the hint that they will compel attention by establishing a record second to none. Every man of military age among our people should WAKE UP, being fully alive to the situation, as there is NO CHANCE TO SHIRK the responsibility of going to the defense of home, country and flag, and the wisdom of avoiding compulsory action on the part of the government towards us, as also to be branded as "slackers" and under the influence of the enemy, can be best demonstrated in our enlisting NOW for active service with the COLORED BATTALION, and playing "Safty First," which is the universal law accepted and endorsed by every individual conscious of the full meaning of SELF PRESERVATION.

The music will be appropriate for this occasion. In connection with the foreon services Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. U. S. Grant of Coloardo Springs, will receive the rite of Baptism. Sixteenth and Champa Sts. CAMPBELL CHAPEL NOTES. Bishop H. B. Parks of Chicago, Ill., presiding bishop of the Colorado diocese and the 5th Episcopal District of the African M. E. Church delivered an able sermon to a large and representative audience which crowded every available space in Campbell Chapel A, M. E. Church on Sunday evening. Two young women responded to invitation to join church making a total of four additions to the membership that day. Bishop and Mrs. Parks were guests at the parsonage Sunday afternoon, and the pastor, officers, members and friends were delighted with the visit of the chief and his good wife as well as the great sermon and helpful advice which he made in closing remarks. Bishop Parks expressed himself as being pleased with the progress made this year. The fourth quarterly meeting for this conference year will be held in Campbell Chapel on Sunday. Presidin Elder R. L. Pope, will be in charge, preaching at 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. The Rev. G. S. Sawyer of Scott's M. E. Church will deliver the sermon at 3 p. m., when Holy Communion will be served. The pastors and their congregations are invited to worship with us. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The untimely death of our chairman, Dr. C. D. De Frantz, coming so unexpectedly upon us, has cast a dark pall over the Young Men's Christian Association, has bowed the heart of every member and well-wisher in sorrow and pain. Dr. De Frantz loved the "Y" with all his heart and never considered any sacrifice too great to make for its welfare. Weather conditions were never too bad for him to attend any of its meetings; and if at such a time only a handful of men were present, he was always one of them, many times buttonholing a man along the way and bringing him with him. It is hard to say when he ever missed a meeting of the committee of management, and his presence was always an inspiration to all. As soon as Secretary Bell learned of the death of Dr. De Frantz he caused the following notice to be sent out to the entire membership of the Association: "Dear Fellow Member: It is with profound sorrow and deep regret that I inform you of the death of our beloved Chairman, Dr. C. D. De Frantz, which occurred at his home, 2734 Welton street, early this morning, July 19th, after an illness of about eight weeks. His taking away is an irreparable loss to our work, now so young and so much in need of good, strong, sympathetic leadership. Seldom has a young Y. M. C. A. work been called upon to undergo such a loss as the one which our work suffers at this time. God be with us at such an hour as this! You will be notified in due season concerning the arrangements for his funeral. It is not too early to say, however, that the Y. M. C. A. will hold a memorial service of its own for Dr. De Frantz at the Y. M. C. A. rooms on Sunday afternoon, the 29th inst., at 4 o'clock. In our daily prayers let us remember his widow and children.

Ward will speak at the afternoon meeting, and a special program by the summer school visitors will be given at the evening service. Many Denverites plan to come up and spend the day. Mr. Oscar Williams spent Sunday with his family. He has just returned from California and Washington. Mesdames Gibson and Evans were hostesses at delightful socials during the week. A party of six came up with Prof. George Morrison on Sunday. Mrs. Mary Reeves has opened a splendid ice cream parlor. A really enjoyable beefsteak fry was held in Blue Bell canon last week with Mesdames Smith, and Stevens and Miss McVey in charge. Miss Bertha Williams of the summer school is to spend the week end with Miss Mae Jackson in Denver and Golden. Rev. A. W. Ward spent Monday and Tuesday in Denver. Mr. and Mrs. Royal Brown spent Sunday in the city in the interest of the Allen C. E. League work of the state. DANCING CONTEST. The fact that Billy Knight is the manager of the Great Dancing Contest on Thursday night, July 26th, at Old Colony hall, it is of satisfactory interest to the public that a splendid enjoyment is assured them. What with a full orchestra and a good current of ice-cool air from the recently-installed electrical apparatus, a large attendance will great the contestants of this event, giving Mr. Knight the support he merits in his capacity as specialist for public entertainments.

One of the most prominent features of the food conservation program of European countries has been the universal drying of fruits and vegetables. The surplus vegetables in the city markets were forced by the governments into large municipal drying plants. Community dryers were established in the trucking regions and even itinerant drying machines were sent from farm to farm drying the vegetables which otherwise would have gone to waste. In addition, large quantities of dried vegetables from Canada and this country were shipped to France during the last two years, and there is a possibility that dried fruits and vegetables may continue to be shipped abroad in considerable quantities to supplement the concentrated food diet of the men in the trenches. The drying of vegetables may seem strange to the present generation, but to our grandmothers it was no novelty. Many housewives even today prefer dried sweet corn to the product canned by the old method, and say that dried pumpkin and squash are excellent for ple making. Snap beans often are strung on threads and dried above the stove. Cherries and raspberries still are dried on bits of bark for use instead of raisins. In fact, many of the everyday foodstuffs already are dried at some stage of their preparation for market. The common dried fruits, such as prunes, raisins, figs, dates and apples, are staples in the world's markets, while beans and other legumes, tea, coffee, cocoa, and various manufactured foods, like starch, tapioca, macaroni, etc., are dried either in the sun and wind or in specially constructed driers. Even though the drying of fruits and vegetables as practiced a few decades ago on many farms has become practically a "lost art," the present food situation doubtless will cause a marked stimulation of drying as a means of conserving the food supply. This country is producing large quantities of perishable foods this year, which should be saved for storage, canned, or properly dried. Drying is not a panacea for the entire waste evil, nor should it take the place of storing or canning to any considerable extent where proper storage facilities are available or tin cans or glass jars can be obtained readily and at a low cost. Advantages of Drying. The advantages of drying vegetables are not so apparent for the farm home as they are for the town or city household, which has no root cellar or other place in which to store fresh vegetables. For the farmer's wife the new methods of canning probably will be better than sun drying, which require a somewhat longer time. But shorter methods of drying are available, and the dried product holds an advantage in that usually it requires fewer jars, cans, or other containers than do canned fruits or vegetables; also dried material can be stored in receptacles which cannot be used for canning. Then, too, canned fruit and vegetables freeze and cannot be shipped as conveniently in winter. Dried vegetables can be compacted and shipped with a minimum risk. Special Advantages. To the housewife in the town the drying of vegetables and fruits presents special advantages. During the season when the market is oversupplied locally and prices are low she can lay in a stock, dry it, and put it away for a winter's emergency without its taking up much of the needed small storage space in her home. If she is accustomed to canning her fruit and vegetables and finds she cannot secure jars or tin cans, she can easily resort to drying. With simple and inexpensive facilities, all housewives can save quantities of food which are too small conveniently to can. A few sweet potatoes or apples or peas or even a single turnip can be dried and saved. Even when very small quantities are dried at a time, a quantity sufficient for a meal will soon be secured. Small lots of several dried vegetables, such as cabbage, carrots, turnips, potatoes, and onions, can be combined to advantage for soups and stews. Cleanliness Is Big Factor. Cleanliness is as necessary in the preparation of vegetables and fruits for drying as in their preparation for canning, perhaps even more so. To secure a fine quality of dried products much depends upon having the vegetables absolutely fresh, young, tender, and perfectly clean. If steel knives are used in paring and cutting have them clean and bright so as not to discolor the vegetable. The earthy smell and flavor will cling to root crops if they are not washed thoroughly before slicing, and one decayed root may flavor several kettles of soup if the slices from it are scattered through a whole batch of dried material. High-grade dried "root" vegetables can only be made from peeled roots. In the preparation of large quantities of potatoes a peeler may be utilized. The potatoes are thrown by centrifugal force against a rough surface which, under streams of water provided by the perforated tin container above, nicks off the outer skin and leaves only the eyes to be dug out. Blanching of vegetables is considered desirable by some housekeepers, although it is not strictly essential to successful drying. It is claimed that the blanch gives a more thorough cleaning, removes the strong odor and flavor from certain kinds of vegetables, and softens and loosens the fiber. This allows the moisture in the vegetable to evaporate more quickly and uniformly. It also quickly coagulates the albuminous matter in the vegetables, which helps to hold in the natural flavors. Blanching consists of plunging the vegetable into boiling water for a short time. Use a wire basket or cheesecloth bag for this. After blanching the required number of minutes, drain well and remove surface moisture from vegetables by placing between two towels or by exposing to the sun and air for a short time. Preparing Food for Drier. In large factories the vegetables are put through special shredders and slicers not adapted for home use, but convenient and inexpensive machines which can be used to great advantage are on the market. The meat grinder with its special disks can be used in certain cases; the common kraut slicer will cut large vegetables into thin slices, such as potatoes and cabbage; and the rotary hand slicer is adapted for use on a very wide range of material. A large sharp kitchen knife may be used when a handier cutting device is not available. Care should be taken that the material is sliced thin enough but not too thin. From an eighth to a quarter of an inch is a fair thickness for most of the common vegetables to be sliced and dried. Very small slices or strips dry more quickly because they expose a greater surface to the air than do larger cut pieces. But if cut too fine they are more difficult to handle in drying, appear to lose somewhat in flavor, and cannot be used so advantageously to make dishes like those prepared from the fresh foods. The slicing machines are not suitable for children's use, for they will cut fingers as mercilessly as they do vegetables and fruits, and even adults should exercise great caution in their use in the home. Good Packing and Storing. Although not necessary, tin cans or glass jars make good receptacles for storage of dried fruits or vegetables. Pasteboard boxes with tight covers, stout paper bugs, and patented paraffin paper cartons also afford ample protection for dried products when protected from insects and rodents. The dried fruit or vegetables must be protected from the outside moisture and will keep best in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place. These conditions, however, are difficult to obtain in the more humid regions, and there moisture-tight containers should be used. If a small amount of dried product is put in each receptacle, just enough for one or two meals, it will not be necessary to open a container the contents of which cannot be consumed in a short time. The use of the small container also makes it more difficult for insects to spoil large quantities of dried fruits or vegetables. If a paper bag is used, the upper part should be twisted into a neck, bent over, and tied tightly with a string. If a further precaution against spoilage is necessary the bag can be coated with paraffin by painting it with a brush which has been dipped into melted paraffin. Another precaution may be taken by placing the small bags in a tin container with a tightly fitting cover, such as an ordinary lard can or pail. All bags should bear a label indicating what they contain. If fruits or vegetables are packed in tight containers immediately upon being dried thoroughly, they will remain just as brittle as they were when taken from the drier. If, however, they are not dried thoroughly, they will "sweat" and soon mold. To prevent this the material should be examined within 24 hours after packing, and if it appears moist it must be dried further. To Dry Cauliflower. Clean, divide In small bunches, blanch six minutes, and dry two to three hours at 110 degrees to 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Cauliflower will turn very dark when drying, but will regain part of the color in soaking and cooking. Dried cauliflower is especially good in soups and omelets. Brussels sprouts may be handled in a similar way, but add a pinch of soda to the blanching water. CITIES OF NATION HAVE MANY PARKS Practically All of Larger Municipalities Have Public Recreation Grounds. CAPITAL LEADS IN NUMBER New York Has Largest Acreage and Philadelphia Biggest Single Area, According to Uncle Sam's Figures. All but two of the 213 American cities of over 30,000 population own certain areas specifically set aside as public parks. This fact is brought out in a report issued by Uncle Sam's census bureau, following an investigation by Starke M. Grogan. The national capital has by far, the largest number of breathing areas, but New York has a larger park acreage. New York has about twelve square miles in parks. Other cities with large park areas are Philadelphia, with 5,500 acres; Los Angeles, with 4,127 acres; Chicago, with 3,815 acres; Denver, with 3,719 acres; Washington, D. C., with 3,067 acres, and Minneapolis, with 3,038 acres. The largest single park owned by any city is Fairmount park in Philadelphia, which has an area of 3,520 acres, or $5\frac{1}{2}$ square miles, and the next largest, a park of 3,027 acres, or more than $4\frac{1}{2}$ square miles, is reported for Los Angeles. One Acre to Fourteen Persons The greatest area of parks and other public grounds inside city limits in proportion to population—one acre for each 14 inhabitants—is shown for Quincy, Mass. Other cities reporting more than an acre to each 100 inhabitants are San Diego, Cal., with 26 inhabitants per acre of parks and recreation grounds; La Crosse, Wis., with 43; Council Bluffs, Iowa, with 45; Lynn, Mass., with 52; Sloux City, Iowa, with 61; Harrisburg, Pa., with 77; Hartford, Conn., with 84; Niagara Falls, N. Y., with 87; Washington, D. C., with 97, and Covington, Ky., with 99. Zoological parks were maintained in 83 of the 213 cities covered by the report. All but 18 of the 213 cities of over 30,000 inhabitants maintained playgrounds (not including those open only to schoolchildren during the school year), the total number of such playgrounds being 2,190, and their average area being a trifle more than two acres. The largest number, 185, is shown for New York, and the next largest, 160, for Philadelphia. A total of 19 athletic fields (exclusive of those located in parks), with an average area of a little less than eight acres, were reported by 13 cities—four by Detroit, Mich.; three by Sacramento, Cal.; two by Hoboken, N. J., and one each by the remaining ten cities. Facilities for games and athletics in parks, playgrounds and athletic fields were maintained by 176 cities. Many Have Bathing Beaches. Swimming pools and bathing beaches were provided by 111 cities, whose total facilities in this respect comprised 117 outdoor swimming pools, 61 indoor swimming pools and 149 bathing beaches, at which the aggregate attendance during the year was more than 26,000,000. Museums and art galleries were administered by 33 cities; and in 17 cities such institutions were under private administration, but received municipal aid. The expenditures for recreation purposes (excluding outlays) in cities of over 30,000 inhabitants during the fiscal year 1916 aggregated $21,637,097, or 67 cents per capita. The greatest per capita expenditures under this head which are shown for any one city were reported by Brookline, Mass.—$4,68. PLAN AN AIRCRAFT EXHIBIT Uncle Sam's National Defense Council Will Establish Permanent Display to Aid Manufacturers. The national advisory committee for aeronautics and the aircraft production board of the council of national defense have instituted a project for a permanent exhibit of aircraft materials of all kinds, including engine parts and sections of planes, to be established in Washington for the benefit of army and navy engineers and American manufacturers. The display will be made available to all aircraft manufacturers and kept up to date as the science develops. It is expected to be of very material assistance to the new aircraft building project in that it will enable American manufacturers to become familiar with the latest developments in the art. The latest foreign machines and specialized parts from foreign makers, reflecting the highest development of European building science after the three years of war, will be displayed. The exhibit promises to be of particular value in enabling government engineers and private manufacturers to study the designs and details of construction with a view to learning to what particular branch of the industry manufacturing plants can best be adapted in the creation of Uncle Sam's new air fleet. SCHOOLS IN WAR TIME SCHOOLS IN WAR TIME Activities Should Be Extended. Declares Doctor Claxton. Uncle Sam's Commissioner of Education Says Children Should Be Kept in Classes. Suggestions for a program of school activity for different types of educational institutions during the war have been made by Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education. After pointing out that attendance laws should be enforced as usual, Doctor Claxton says: "Parents should be encouraged to make all possible efforts to keep their children in school and should have public or private help when they cannot do so without it. Many young children will lack the home care given them in times of peace, and there will be need of many more kindergartens and Montessori schools than we now have. "The attendance in the high schools should be increased, and more boys and girls should be induced to remain until their course is completed. A school year of four terms of 12 weeks each is recommended for the high schools, as for the elementary schools. In the high schools adopting this plan arrangements should be made for half-time attendance for a large proportion of pupils as possible. "All laboratories and manual-training shops in high schools should be run at their full capacity. In many of the shops work should be done which will have immediate value for the national defense. "In all high schools in which domestic science (sewing, cooking, sanitation, etc.) is taught, large units of time should be given in the summer and fall to sewing for the Red Cross and for local charities. "Classes for grown-up women should be formed, in which practical instruction can be given largely by lecture and demonstration in the conservation and economic use of food. "For all boys and girls who cannot attend the day sessions of the high schools, continuation classes should be formed, to meet at such times as may be arranged during working hours or in the evening. All cities should maintain evening schools for adult men and women. In cities having considerable numbers of immigrants, evening schools should be maintained for them with classes in English, in civics, and such other subjects as will be helpful to these foreigners in understanding our industrial, social, civic and political life. "In few states is the supply of broadly educated and well-trained teachers equal to the demand. The normal schools should double their energies and use all their funds in the most economic way for the work of preparing teachers. Appropriations for the support of normal schools should be largely increased, as should also the attendance of men and women preparing for service as teachers. "The number of students in colleges, universities and technical schools should increase rather than diminish. Many of the older and upper class men will volunteer for some branch of the military service, but all young men below the age of liability to selective draft and those not recommended for special service should be urged to remain and take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the colleges, universities and technical schools, to the end that they may be able to render the most effective service in the latter years of the war and the times of need that will follow. Practically all woman students should remain, and all boys and girls graduating from high schools should be urged to enter college, technical school or normal school. "In agricultural colleges special intensive courses should be given to prepare teachers, directors and supervisors of agriculture and practical farm superintendents. It should be remembered that the scientific knowledge and the supervising and directing skill of these men and their ability to increase the productive capacity of thousands of men of less knowledge and skill are far more valuable than the work they can do as farm hands." Why Many Fail in Desire to Fight for Uncle Sam. Why so many men are rejected for military service is partially explained by one week's report of a recruiting officer at Indianapolis, compiled after a drive for recruits in the United States Marine corps. Out of 192 applications for enlistment during the week only 24 were accepted. Others were rejected for the following causes: Under age, 31; underweight, 30; defective vision, 26; defective hearing, 4; flat feet, 16. Sixty-one others were rejected as "undesirable" through failure to meet the exacting mental, moral, and physical requirements. The standard of the "soldiers of the sea" is very high. It is said that at present 12 per cent is about the average of acceptances throughout the country. ```markdown ``` An Arizona scientist hopes to fix the time of the cliff dwellers by comparing the age rings in tree trunks still standing in their homes with the rings on the oldest now living.

No matter what the nature of the job may be we are ready to do it at a price that will be Satisfactory THE LADY OF THE GARDEN For All Hours of the Day Just what will happen to the pongee street suit this year is a question that receives a very satisfactory answer in the latest arrival in that line. It is a street suit in which pongee in the natural color is bordered with the same silk in black. Those who aspire to smart styles for midsummer will recognize an excellent achievement in this combination. Black used in just the right proportion with sedate colors, gives them a distinction that nothing can excel. In this suit the skirt is a forerunner of promised styles for autumn. It is a little shorter than spring models. It hangs in the most uncompromising of straight lines, emphasized by box plaits, very thoroughly pressed into place. The black pongee is set against the natural light cuer color in a border about eight inches wide. The coat is plain as to its body, with a panel effect at the front, below the belt, which is of ponge. There are fat pockets at each side, faced with black at the top and cut in a diagonal across the bottom. Straight cuffs. For All Hour For every day and out of doors the little miss in city or country cannot have anything better suited to her needs than the plain gingham dress pictured here. It is cut on boyish lines and worn over bloomers of the same material. It has a panel down the front, buttoning to one side with white buttons and striped collar, cuffs, and belt of gingham in the same color of the dress, with white stripes. There are some less robust, but very useful and pretty little dresses made of chambray in pink or blue, light yellow and pale green, with short bodices of white dimity and the chambray skirts either plaited or shirred on to them. Their charms for the youthful are re-enforced by pockets enticingly decorated with little chicks, or birds, or even baby rabbits and squirrels, done in cross-stitch embroidery. Sleeves in these dresses are short, simple needlework stitches, the best liked of all embellishments. Cross-stitch, feather stitch, buttonhole stitch, and just plain running stitches in colored cotton, seem exactly suited to the childish air of these little frocks. English nainsook, with little tucks and val lace used for adornment, is for the present favored for the dainti- --- turned back at the top, are faced with black also. The wide epaulette collar is cut into revers at the front and bordered with black across the back. In the buttons the order of things is reversed and the natural pongee becomes the border. They fasten under loops of silk. Just the right sort of hat for this suit might be either a panama or bangkok trimmed with overlapping bows of narrow ribbon, like that shown in the picture. Gingham for Golf. When all's said and done it's a nice thing to be able to throw a dress you have played golf in all day bodily into the soapsuds, and that is why plaid gingham is having such a success at fashionable golf links. These cotton dresses are as simple as can be made shirtwaist style, with rather scant skirts tucked so that they hold their place. Some have Turkish petticoats beneath of the same material or of milanese silk in color to match the groundwork. s of the Day est of dresses for little folks. Silk sweater-coats, like that shown in the picture, are almost replicas of those that grown-ups wear with their dresses. This one is in blue, with white collar, cuffs and sash, and besides making its wearer happy—being so much like a grown-up lady in it—it tempers the cool air of morning or evening, or the beach breezes to the white clad little lady. Julia Bottomley For seashore wear, says the Dry Goods Economist, many silk capes have been brought out in plain and novelty tussah, in taffetas and in satins, together with some sheer silk crepes. These "beach capes," as they are frequently called, are being made up in all the popular colorings, as well as in dainty evening shades. The very smartest capes are of satin and are fur lined.

ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION LEGISLATIVE SESSION LEGISLATIVE SESSION EXTRA TO CONSIDER WAR MEASURES FOR COLORADO. Expected That Revenue, Food and Military Bills Will Take Up Most of Session. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—War measures for Colorado's guidance during the war, to be enacted by and for the citizens of the commonwealth, as well as for those who have no direct claim upon citizenship, are in the making. With the arrival in Denver of Boon Best, speaker, and a number of other legislators, the program to be pursued at the extraordinary session of the Twenty-first General Assembly took on a tangible form. Revenue raising measures, to include a $2,000,000 bond issue, a mill levy for the maintenance of a mounted police guard, and a corporation license tax to increase the present returns; legislation authorizing the nearly 300 state banks to become members of the federal reserve bank; more stringent anti-trust laws to curb the speculator and the hoarder of foods; defraying of the expenses of the mobilization of the national guardsmen until they are called into the federal service—these are a few of the measures that were discussed among the senators and representatives. Whether politics will be injected into the proceedings is problematical. Deadlocks in the Senate are not anticipated, although the absence of Senator Charles B. Hamilton of Denver, now a resident of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, leaves an equal number from either party in the upper branch. Senator E. V. Dunklee of Denver has assumed the chairmanship of the military committee of the upper branch, in the absence of Senator Hamilton. Much of the burden of the special session will rest with the military, judiciary and finance committees of the two branches. Quota From Colorado Counties. The military authorities in Washington have made a careful survey of the population of each state and territory, upon which to base their figures for the draft quota in each state. Based upon the figures these officials have prepared for Colorado, this state's quota from each county and from Denver will be practically as Adams ..... 65 Lake ..... 88 Alamaze ..... 26 Larimer ..... 124 Arapahoe ..... 64 Las Animas ..... 284 Archuleta ..... 75 Lincoln ..... 106 Bent ..... 75 Logan ..... 105 Bent ..... 60 Mesa ..... 84 Boulder ..... 151 Mineral ..... 4 Chaffee ..... 46 Moffatt ..... 37 Cheyenne ..... 18 Montesuma ..... 88 Cottage Creek ..... 19 Ottawa ..... 88 Conegjo ..... 40 Morgan ..... 83 Coastilla ..... 22 Otero ..... 121 Crowley ..... 34 Ouray ..... 16 Custer ..... 11 Park ..... 12 Delia ..... 15 Phillips ..... 22 Denver ..... 1.043 Pitkin ..... 15 Dolores ..... 7 Prowers ..... 81 Douglas ..... 19 Pueblo Coun- Eagle ..... 24 ty ..... 73 Eagle ..... 75 Pueblo ..... 278 Col.

After twenty-six years of service, during which he saw action in Cuba and the Philippines, Sergt. Isaac Butz, for seventeen years on recruiting duty at the Denver army station, received his appointment as second lieutenant. At the same time, sixteen other old-line men at Fort Logan received the reward of their service in appointments to like positions. Gov. Gunter Reviews Company A. Company A of the Second regiment, infantry, recruited during the last two weeks by Capt. Harry Ensley in Morgan and Phillips counties, was reviewed by Gov. J. C. Gunter during their stay in Denver on their way from Akron to Pueblo. The 126 men marched through the business part of Denver directly to the state house. The procession was led by the G. A. R. fife and drum corps. Suffragette to Guard Navy Morals. Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson of Denver, former state senator, was named by Secretary Daniels a member of the naval commission on training and activities, commonly known in naval circles as the "morals committee." Denver Man Aids in Army Drawing. George Thompson of Denver has been appointed one of the twenty men who will do the actual work of drawing the men for the new national army, it was reported from Washington. Durbin Van Law Given Commission. Durbin Van Law of Denver, now stationed at Fort Leavenworth, has received a first lieutenant's commission. Van Law will go at once into the engineering division of the officers' reserve corps. To Head Guard Transportation. Col. A. H. Stevens, a well known railroad man, formerly of Denver, has been appointed as transportation director for the Colorado National Guard. The KITCHEN CABINET The earth is our workshop, the universe is our exercise ground, Life is our opportunity, let us get busy. Spinach is such a good, wholesome vegetable and one which may be used for salads with various combinations Cook the spinach in its own juices being careful not to let it scorch When tender, drait the spinach and chop it with six hard-cooked eggs to rious combinations Cook the spinach in its own juices being careful not to let it scorch When tender, drait the spinach and chop it with six hard-cooked eggs to a peck of spinach, add one cupful of toasted bread crumbs and one-half cupful of minced boiled ham. Pack in small cups or molds. Chill on ice and when ready to serve surround each mold with olives and dress with mayonnaise. Ellsworth Salad.—Drain a can of peas and add two apples chopped fine with one medium-sized cucumber. Mix lightly with the peas and a half cupful of coarsely chopped pecan or walnut meats. Serve on crisp lettuce with boiled or mayonnaise dressing. Red Pepper Salad.—Mix half a can of pimentos with one cream cheese. Beat into the mixture sufficient mayonnaise to soften and add a few drops of onion juice, or more if the flavor is liked. Pack in a mold, chill on ice and when ready to serve cut in slices and place on crisp lettuce leaves. Mixed Salad.—Slice some tomatoes and cucumbers and arrange on head lettuce. Into French dressing stir as much roquefort cheese as is liked and add to the vegetables just as they are ready to serve. For those who do not enjoy the delicious cheese, the dressing may be served without it. Vegetable Harlequin.—Cook half a peck of spinach as usual and drain, then chop fine, seasoning well. Cut three or four cooked beets into dice and heat in a tablespoonful of butter. Season well with salt and pepper. Reheat two cupfuls of peas in the same way. Arrange the spinach in a ring around a small platter. The spinach should be dry enough to make a ridge an inch and a half high; inside the ring at either end put the beets, and in the middle the peas, keeping the line of division straight as possible. Over the whole sprinkle parsley and send very hot to the table. Others combinations may be used, utilizing leftovers. Persons industriously occupying themselves thrive better on a line of their own heart getting than hair heirs on the large revenues left into them.—T. Fuller. SUMMER FRUITS. The time is at hand to prepare our fruits and jellies for winter use. If each housewife will, when putting up her jellies and jams, remember the soldier boys and put up a few extra for hospital use, they will do worlds of good. Such gifts will cost little, but when all brought together will make a wonderful store of good things to cheer those who are when putting g lies and jams; the soldier bove up a few extra pital use, the worlds of go gifts will cost when all broug er will make a ful store of g to cheer those suffering on beds of pain. Currant Jelly.—Currants for jelly should not be overripe or picked immediately after a rain. Look the currants over carefully, wash but do not remove the stems. Mash a few in the bottom of the preserving kettle with a wooden potato masher and continue to add the fruit until they are all used. Bring slowly to the boiling point and let simmer until the currants look white. Strain through several thicknesses of cheesecloth or drain through a jelly bag. Measure the juice and boil it five minutes, add an equal measure of heated sugar, bring to the boiling point and boil three minutes, skim and pour into glasses. Let stand in a sunny window for a day, cover with paraffin and keep in a cool, dry place. In many places all over the country wild raspberries abound. These berries have a most delicious flavor, but being smaller than the cultivated kind are better used for jelly, shrub and sirups, or the juice combined to give flavor to other fruits in canning. Strawberries are not sufficiently rich in pectin to make good jelly, but the flavor is so delicious that experiments have been made with these fruits lacking pectin, saving them to us in the form of jelly. Take the white pith of half an orange, boil it for an hour or two to remove all its pectin and add it to strawberry juice and see what fine jelly can be made. The yellow rind should all be removed before using the orange peel unless you want the combination of flavor. There will be sufficient pectin in half an orange rind for several glasses of jelly. Strawberry Cup.—Prepare a freezer of vanilla ice cream. Add three tablespoonfuls of orange extract to a cupful of heavy cream, whipped. Halve a few choice berries lengthwise and press the smaller ones through a sieve and mix the pulp and juice with a cupful and a half of sugar; chill. To serve, put a tablespoonful of the juice in the bottom of a sherbet cup, add a roundling portion of cream, pipe the whipped cream above, pour on another spoonful of the sirup and decorate with the strawberries.
