LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Virginia Negro U-Boat Hero In Mediterranian VOL. XXIII. Philadelphia, Pa.—The Evening Bulletin of July 21 published a lengthy article by a young American who has spent most of his time since the war with the British patrol fleet, in which the writer tells of the heroism of an American Negro by the name of Green, from Newport News, Va., who saved many lives while a vessel was sinking from a U-boat's blow. The story, in part, of how the colored man became the hero of the hour follows: "One trip I made was on the Russian. We were running through the Mediterranean. The days were short, and it was dark, just before dinner. "I was in my cabin. I had broken my leg in a fall on the deck, and was just beginning to go about with some comfort. Mr. Stevens, the foreman, and Dr. Wright, the veterinary surgeon, were with me. "Time for eats,' said Mr. Stevens. 'Let's go.' "Oh, don't be in a hurry," I said. 'There's a long evening ahead and—' "Right in the middle of the sentence came a crash. The Russian shivered as though she were an elastic band stretched tight, and some one had plucked it like a banjo string. That's the only way I can express it. "Right after the crash, the ship heeled over. We heard feet patterning over the deck. Hoarse commands were shouted back and forth from the bridge to the boat decks. "The davits squeaked and there was the rattle of ropes through pulley blocks as they got the boats ready. All this happened before we had time to collect our senses and start for the corridor. "On the deck everything was orderly. Some of the boats had left, but most were still being loaded. They wanted to lower me into one, but it was only a short drop. I overestimated my strength, miscalculated the effect of the heavy sea, and the jar of landing in the boat broke my leg. "One boat, with at least forty men in it capsized. We heard the cries, but our boat was so full the sea was washing over the gunwales. The men had to bail continually, although there was scarcely room for them to move their arms. "Some of those who could not swim went straight to the bottom. Others caught the sides of the boat. Those who could swim, many of them, were drowned by comrades who clutched them around the throat and dragged them down. "Most of the men scrambled up to the bottom of the overturned boat. It was all right until some of those in the water, who were clinging to the sides, tried to climb to the already crowded bottom. They were not content with having their heads out of water. "Naturally the overturned boat began to roll, first to one side, then the other. Some of those on the bottom got frightened and shoved the men, trying to scramble up, back into the sea. I don't know who started this, but in a second a terrible fight for life was in full swing. Green Assumes Command. "There were white men and Negroes on the life boat. The struggle quickly became a race battle. White men tried to pull their fellows up on to the boat and shove the Negroes off. The Negroes did the same. "A man stood as much chance of stopping it as he did of pushing over the Rock of Gibraltar—at least, that is the way it seemed, until one Negro, a horseman named Green from Newport News, rose so far above the ruck of humanity about him that he turned the brutal, fighting tumult into men again. He restored democracy on the bottom of that life boat. "A few of us had kept cool enough to lie quietly on the overturned craft, trying to talk the others into manhood once more. We might as well have ordered the sea to become calm. "All of a sudden something hit me in the back of the head. Something else grabbed me under the shoulders. I found myself in the water. "The blow on the head had nearly stunned me. I was just able to flounder around enough to keep afloat. "Suddenly I felt a body bump against me, and saw the big black face of the Negro, Green, right beside my own. "I went mad. I thought he was going to drown me, to make one less white man in the beastly fight for life that was still raging. I would have struck at him, but my arms would not work. "As though in a dream, I felt his arms slip under my shoulder. "You'll be all right, boss,' he said. He struck out for the life boat; keeping my head above water. He put me with my hands on the edge and swam off again. "White men on the boat's bottom pulled me out of the water. Presently the Negro returned with another white man in his arms. This man also was pulled on to the boat. Next time the big black returned, he had one of his own race. "By then I was strong enough to help pull the rescued Negro on board. Some of the other white DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4 1917 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4 1917 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc. State House table Negro Pap ADO DE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA men, who had seen Green save two of us, fought their own men off when they tried to throw the rescued black back into the water. "Three times more Green returned to the life boat, each time supporting the head of a drowning man, black Negro and white alike. One by one, those of us on the boat and around it, began to fight, not for places, but to subdue those who were trying to save themselves by drowning others. "It was the heroism of this big Negro from Newport News which redeemed the disgracetiful conduct of the men in the capsized boat. For an equivalent act in the trenches, men are decorated. But Green was only a horseman. I never saw an account of his bravery published." Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry is "Somewhere in France." (From New York Age.) Col. William Hayward's "Billy Boys" will not be the first colored soldiers from the United States to invade foreign soil, for already seasoned veterans of the Twenty-fifth Infantry are "Somewhere in France" and jubilant over the prospects of seeing trench life in the near future. For several weeks reports have been in circulation that Negro soldiers had been sent with General Pershing to France, but nothing official ever has been given out by the War Department relative to the presence of colored fighters across the sea. The first definite information that Negroes were members of General Pershing's expedition was secured last week when post cards were received in many cities in the United States by friends of members of the Twenty-fifth Infantry. In most every instance the writer tells of the cordial greeting given and of the good treatment being received. Judging from the post cards the men are in a happy mood. It is said that General Pershing has a high regard for colored troopers. They helped him to win name and fame in Mexico, and he is said to be extremely confident that the Negro soldier will cut as prominent a figure in France as at Carrizal and San Juan Hill. According to Dame Rumor, the entire Twenty-fifth Infantry is in France with the exception of three companies. The Twenty-fifth Infantry is well known to the public as fighters. It was charged with shooting up Brownsville, Texas, and although members of the regiment were discharged at the direction of President Roosevelt no evidence ever has been presented showing that the men were really guilty of the deed. RACE LEADER- ERSHIP AIM FOR NEGRO Des Moines, Ia. — "Uncle Sam's greatest experiment in the race problem," is the characterization given by Col. C. C. Ballou, commandant of the Negro reserve officers' training camp at Ft. Des Moines, to the effort being made here to fit Negroes from all over the United States for leadership of their own race. More than 1200 Negroes have been in training here for more than one month, under exactly the same conditions as white young men are being trained in other camps of the country for commissions in the coming national army. It is planned to officer the Negro regiments to be raised under the selective draft largely with men trained here. The regiments are to be given white colonels and majors, but the captains and other commissioned officers of lower rank are to be Negroes. "The work here is more than an effort to train Negro officers," says Colonel Ballou. "It is a wonderful experiment in determining whether or not the Negro possesses qualities which fit him to lead his own race in upward progress. "While we are training these men for military leadership, this training will be equally valuable in civil life, and it is my belief that some of the men who are being instructed here will become among the most prominent workers in Negro welfare work that the country has ever had." The men here were selected upon a basis of personal merit from Negroes in almost every state in the Union. Some 200 of the men were picked from the regular army regiments and most of these men already have shown their ability as leaders and are holding the higher ranks in the companies for training purposes. The Negro troopers have created no trouble in Des Moines, and, aside from one or two minor difficulties due to efforts at segregation by local theater men, there has been no race feeling over the camp. According to Colonel Ballou the civilian recruits show a remarkable ability to acquire military knowledge and walk even more diligently than the average white recruit of the same class. The Negroes are intensely in earnest, and there haye been practically no violations of camp discipline. 5,000 Negroes in Race Riot Protest March on 5th Ave. CHILDREN LEAD SILENT PROCESSION MOVING TO BEAT OF MUFFLED DRUMS. (Fnew York Tribune, Sunday, July 29.) Five thousand Negroes, half of whom were women and children, paraded Fifth Avenue yesterday afternoon in silent protest against the race riots in East St. Louis, Chester, Penn., and the lynchings and political and social discrimination in the South. Virtually every Negro church, Sunday school and society in New York was represented. The marchers moved to the beat of muffled drums from Fifty-ninth to Twenty-third street. Thousands of Negroes and many whites lined the curbs as the paraders passed bearing their message of protest on a series of banners which they carried. Save at Twenty-third street, where the disbanding marchers greeted their fellows, the only demonstration was evoked by a banner bearing these words: "A Square Deal for Everybody.—T. R." This sentiment was cheered almost continuously. The children marched first, then the women. The men's division marched behind the flags of the United States and Great Britain and the Negro nations, Liberia and Hayti. Just preceeding the flag a Negro carried a banner which proclaimed: "Your Hands Are Full of Blood." Some of the other banners which attracted attention were: "Pray for the Lady Macbeths of East St. Louis." "We Are Excluded From the Unions and Then Condemned for Not Joining." "We Are Aligned as Lazy and Murdered When We Work." Stress was laid on the Negro's services to his country on the field of buttle. "From Bunker Hill to Carrizal We Have Done Our Duty;" "We Fought for the Liberty of White Americans in Six Wars and East St. Louis Is Our Reward," were some of the reminders of Negro patriotism. A good share of the protest appeared to be directed against the South. A call for volunteers for the parade asserted: "We march because we are thoroughly opposed to 'Jim Crow' cars, segregation, disenfranchisement and the host of evils that are forced upon us. We march in memory of our butchered dead, the massacre of honest toilers who were removing the reproach of laziness and thriftlessness hurled at NO 50 the entire race. They died to prove our worthiness to live. We live in spite of death shadowing us and ours. We prosper in the face of the most unwarranted and illegal oppression." Banners pointed out how Negroes are denied the vote in Southern states, though they are counted in the census lists from which the congressional representation of these states is determined. One banner inquired: "Are Memphis and Waco typical of American civilization?" Among the marchers were Negroes from every walk of life. A troop of colored Boy Scouts headed the procession, and a drum corps of Negro lads was led by an old colored man who wore the Union blue and the bronze button of the Grand Army. The parade was organized and directed by the Rev. Hutchens C. Bishop and the Rev. Charles D. Martin. RACE NEWS Washington, D. C.—Representative Frederick W. Dallinger of the Eighth Massachusetts District, has introduced in Congress a joint resolution providing for the appointment of a joint special committee of the Senate and House of Representatives to investigate the murder of citizens of the United States and the destruction of their property at East St. Louis. Boston, Mass.—For the first time in the history of Boston colored waiters are to be admitted to the union. The decision to invite colored waiters to become members was reached last week at a special meeting of the Waiters' Union, Local 34. The four hundred Negro waiters employed at the Hayward, Woodstock, Langham and Healey's cafes, and the Copley Square and Colonial Hotels have been asked to become union men. The white waiters have just won a strike here, compelling the eating places to pay them $35 monthly and gave them one day in seven off. The wage committee of the union has promised to take steps to obtain the same terms for colored men. --- CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD.

On several sectors the Russian retreat has been halted, and the Slavs are opening up new attacks. The great assault of the allies, for which the big guns have been preparing for three weeks, resulted in the capture July 31 of three first line German trenches by the British and the capture of two by the French. Paris and London statements tell of enormous losses by the Teutons, whose defenses were completely crushed over a wide front in Flanders. In addition to capturing ten or more towns, 3,500 Germans were taken prisoner and hundreds upon hundreds were left dead on the battlefield.

DEATH RATE INCREASES FIGURES SHOW MILLION COLO- RADOANS ARE HEALTHY. Deaths in 1916 Were 500 Less Than in 1915—Stork Bests Grim Reaper —Forty-eight Twins. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Denver.—Not the least of Colorado's assets is the healthfulness of her 1,000,000 people. Deaths for 1916, the report of which has just been compiled by Miss Marie E. Egger, statistician of the State Board of Health, show a decrease of 500 over 1915, and establish the enviable record of mortality of ten deaths for every 1,000 persons. This, according to comparative records for other states, is exceptionally low. Total deaths in 1916 numbered 10, 107, as against 10,602 for the previous year. The total births in 1916, on the other hand, were 14,753, more than offsetting the death rate. That the stork has bested the grim reaper in the first three months of 1917, at least, is seen from additional statistics furnished. During that period 3,646 births were reported over the state, as against 3,109 deaths. Included in the births were forty-eight twins. The 1916 mortality statement shows that 535 more men died than women, the figures being as follows: Males, 5,821; females, 4,286. The heaviest toll in any score of years in the span of life was between 60 and 80, where 2,227 deaths are recorded, showing that the many citizens of the commonwealth reach the three score and ten limit. Five hundred and forty-six persons died after they had reached the age of 80, while 1,591 babies under 1 year were included in the mortality toll. The exact ages of 452 persons could not be ascertained by the authorities. There was only one death from smallpox in the state during the twelve-month period, only one death from infantile paralysis and only one death from malaria. There were but three deaths from typhus fever, three from spotted fever (tick bite) and three from pellagra. Seven persons died of lockjaw. There were 753 deaths from violence as follows: Suicides, 120; accidents, 567; homicide, 66. This is a decided decrease over the previous year—suicides, 164; accidents, 702; homicides, 93. Appendicitis rolled up 172 deaths in 1916, as against 153 for 1915. Diphtherla claimed 34 people and typhoid fever 109. Tuberculosis led all other diseases in claiming 1,561 deaths, while organic heart disease brought a toll of 1,044 Jeaths. Bright's disease claimed 710 people, while nervous diseases registered 952 deaths. Banks to Help State Pay Guards. Representatives of the banking interests of Denver and the Denver Clearing House Association held a conference with Gov. Gunter and an agreement was reached in which the banks will supply money for the payment of the National Guard troops and other expenditures connected with the guard incident to the mobilization and guard service throughout the state up to Aug. 5, when the guard is taken over by the federal government. The money, totaling $325,000, is to be advanced without discount and secured by the issuance of certificates of indebtedness which it is expected will be taken up by an action of the special session of the Legislature. The action taken by the Denver banks was communicated by telephone to banks in Colorado Springs, Pueblo and Trinidad, and the money to be advanced has been divided up with the understanding that the banks of Denver will give $200,000, Pueblo $50,000, Colorado Springs, $50,000, and Trinidad $25,000.

EMBARGO PUT ON IRON DR. NANSEN DECLARES NORWAY MUST GET FOOD FROM U. S. OR FACE STARVATION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Plans for taking over for operation all American ocean-going merchant ships soon will be announced by the Shipping Board. Charters will be requisitioned under a recent act of Congress authorizing the President to commandeer tonnage for government uses. The program is preliminary to putting into operation an agreement between the American and British governments for joint control of the world's shipping. It will give the Shipping Board control of ocean freight rates charged by American ships and a rate basis being worked out will be used for building an international rate schedule. The plan is to commandeer charters and wherever advisable let the ship itself be operated by its owner under a government charter. In this way the government will direct operations and specify services in which ships shall ply and, at the same time, avoid expenditure of the vast sum of money that would be required if the hulls themselves were taken over. President Wilson forbade export of any iron and steel plate, pig iron, iron and steel scrap and steel billets from this country except such as the allies need for "actual war purposes." Other iron and steel products are allowed to be freely licensed, but only to the allies. Norway, facing starvation if the United States cuts off exports of food, is ready to release a million tons of her shipping in return for the privilege of importing food—principally from the United States. Dr. Fritjof Nansen, head of the Norwegian mission to the United States, declared unreservedly that Norway faced privation if the United States enforced an export embargo against her. Norway also would give a guarantee that none of the food imported would reach Germany. ALLIES REPULSE COUNTER BLOW German Losses Enormous in Effort to Regain Ground at Ypres. London, Aug. 3.—Enormous losses are sustained by the Germans in a series of counter attacks launched in an effort to regain some of the ground taken by the allies in the battle of Flanders. Especially violent were the German assaults around Ypres and St. Julien. British parties raided the enemy trenches northeast of Gouzeacourt and inflicted many casualties. The French are keeping up their terrific bombardment on the Meuse and in the region of Allemont. Petrograd reports the loss of a half dozen villages and many positions on the banks of the river Zbrocz on the Galician frontier and along the Dnelster. The Russian Carpathian army is in retreat. Gen. Dimitrieff, the former "Little Napoleon of Bulgaria," has resigned as commander of the Russian army on the Riga front, and Gen. Parsky will succeed him. The Duma has issued a statement blaming the "cowardly" riffleff of the army for the Slav collapse and appealing to the people to save the nation. Miners Refuse Concessions. Miami, Ariz.—Striking miners of the International Union of Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers and allied crafts at a mass meeting here Thursday afternoon voted to refuse concessions offered by the mine operators of the Globe-Miami district. Judge McBride explained the offer of the operators to receive the grievance committee of the men at least once a month and to allow them to inspect the company hospital. The men demanded recognition of their union. Two Die at Same Spot. Sterling.—At the spot where D. A. Caddy fell dead, a victim of lightning stroke, a few days ago, H. W. Eaton, father-in-law of Caddy, died at almost the same hour. Death was due to apoplexy. Eaton, aged 79, was in the yard with his daughter, the widow of Caddy. The daughter turned toward the house to go about her household duties when she heard a cry from her father, and, turning, saw him fall. Postpone Prohibition Vote. Washington.—Although convinced that action could be forced in the House at once on the Sheppard national prohibition resolution which was passed by the Senate, the dry forces decided to await the December session before passing the measure. Denver Dentist Named for Navy. Washington.—Secretary Daniels recommended for probationary appointment as dental surgeon in the navy, Robert S. Maxwell, Denver. ASSIGNS DRAFT QUOTAS MASTER LISTS AND REGULA- TIONS SENT OUT. Exemption Board Machinery Set in Motion by Governor Gunter for State's Conscription. Denver.—The machinery of the selective and exemption boards for the drafting of Colorado's quota of the national army has been set in motion, according to a statement issued by Provost Marshal John Evans. The master lists and regulations have been sent out as received from Washington and Gov. Julius C. Gunter has made assignment to the seventy-five exemption boards throughout the state the quota expected to be raised by the respective counties. The State Utilities Board has received a letter from the special committee on national defense at Washington outlining a number of suggestions to the railroad companies of the state regarding the carrying out of the draft regulations affecting railroad employés subject to draft. It is suggested the railroads make a complete list of all those who can be spared from active railroad service whose places can be taken by inexperienced men or by women. Lists and affidavits are also requested to be furnished showing those whom the railroad companies think should be relieved from war duty as their services being necessary for the operation of troop and supply trains and other duties assisting the public defense act of the nation. "There is some considerable conjecture," said Judge Advocate Frank West, "as to the percentages that will be shown by the first reports of the local boards of the probable rejection to be expected among the hundred thousand registrants of Colorado for physical reasons or for dependents. A probable rejection of one in every four is figured on account of physical disability. In some localities his will greatly vary. "It is rather difficult to figure on the proposition of dependents or how many are to be excused as to industrial claims and peculiar results will be brought out in some districts. According to close reasoners the lowest rejection figures will come from the wealthy districts of the large cities or communities of the state, where men of good incomes live. "It is figured that the sons of such men have had better food, care and surroundings than the miners, factory hands or Beet field workers, and the former should necessarily be in better physical condition." Ship $40,000 "High-Grade" Ore. Chripple Creek. Forty thousand dollars' worth of ore that was recovered from the band of high-graders convicted in Cheyenne July 3 as the result of their operations in this gold field was sent from here to the Pueblo smelter, consigned to the Mine Owners' Association. The ore was taken from the offices of Tony Cuaz, who confessed to government investigators before the trial; Charles Daniels and Daniel McLeod, all in Cripple Creek, and Frank Cochrane in Victor. Attorney Killed in Spill of Auto. Grand Junction.—Charles Lee Watson, a prominent attorney, was thrown from his automobile and instantly killed at a curve about twenty-five miles south of Grand Junction. His wife and baby, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Coe and their baby, all of Grand Junction, who were riding with him in the automobile at the time, received only slight bruises. The party had been on a fishing excursion and were returning to Grand Junction. Mine Minimum May Be Raised. Denver.—The situation in the Lead- ville gold camp took an unexpected turn Tuesday night, when a meeting of the mine operators was called for the purpose of considering a propo- sition of voluntarily increasing the min- imum wage scale to $4 a day. Hillard and Jones Ousted. Denver.—At the recall election Tuesday, Hillard was recalled as school director by a vote of 11,479 to 5,163, and Jones by 10,828 to 5,506. They are succeeded as members of the school board by F. H. Cowell and Mrs. W. S. Lail. C. C. C. to Pay Dividend Sept. 1.

Denver, Aug. 1.—The Senate yester- day adopted the Schermerhorn resol- tion to adjourn sine die at 6 o'clock Saturday night. The vote stood 28 to 5. The House will consider the resol- tion later. Postoffice Safe Blown at Pierce. Pierce.—The postoffice safe in the general store of John E. Schaefer was blown open and looted. The thieves took about $55, but so far as can be learned no stamps were taken. A considerable amount of currency was overlooked. The door of the safe was blown off and considerable damage was done to the storeroom. The thieves first broke into a blacksmith shop, where they obtained tools. They left behind them several feet of fuse. Western Beef Co. Open Daily to 8:30 p. m.

INTELLIGENT PROTEST MUST SURELY BE REWARDED. NO ONE reading the article from the New York Tribune published on the front page of this issue can help from being deeply touched with the depth of intelligence, the keen foresight and the great passive resistance so ably displayed by our fellow-Negroes in the commercial metropolis of the United States, and we give thanks and offer our sincere and grateful appreciation to the LEADERSHIP that resulted in the silent protest of 5,000 Negroes—a protest that must sink deeply into the hearts of tried and true AMERICAN MANHOOD that is contributing today to a dissemination of a democracy that will bring about the universal fraternity of the human family, an event so long and anxiously awaited by the members of Christendom. Men of the order of the Revs. Hutchens C. Bishop and Charles D. Martin, who organized and directed the parade in which 5,000 Negroes participated, and which was carried out so successfully as to win the commendation and approbation instead of the denunciation of the major population; men like these can be looked upon as the Moses and Joshua of our race, and they set a great standard and glorious example for us to follow in adopting plans and methods to obtain an equality of civil right, and national freedom in this land of the free. Forcible reminders as these will have a great moral effect on those who are vested with the power or the authority to set these wrongs right, and we hope that the very near future has in store for us the remedy which will be a panacea for all the ills and advantages we are now undergoing. Intelligent leaders with that discretion which is not easily passed up tend an inspiration to their followers, who in turn reflect the achievements of good leadership by the success attending their efforts, and the readiness to follow such noble characters as the men who fostered this movement insures an almost immeasurable success for us and our posterity. The Colorado Statesman admires the courageous action of these New Yorkers, and trusts that the lesson taught the people of color of this country will find a ready and cheerful response in numerous other protests that will eliminate for all time the unfair and burdensome yoke unjustly thrust upon us. THE PASSIVE RESISTANCE, backed up by manly courage and the spirit of hope, will accomplish the desired effect. HEROISM AN INNATE QUALITY IN THE NEGRO. WHAT IS TRUE of the Virginia Negro hero in the U-boat incident as published in this issue of our paper, is more the rule than the exception, for if we were to venture to insert the various heroic deeds of the people of this race in this country (to say nothing of the world at large) we would have to increase our size by the addition of many pages. This incident, with its twofold purpose, proves beyond a doubt that human nature is not qualified by color or any of those things which some would have us believe, as when these trying ordeals present themselves, or when human nature is confronted with tests as in this perilous adventure, there is always a similarity of action, whether of good or ill, and the man of distinguished courage, moral or physical, comes in for praise, honor and reward if the deed be good, and the opposite if it be bad. The unique form of this incident compels us to bring before our readers the following which proves the utter fallacy of this claim of superiority on account of the accident of a white appearance which happened to fall the other way instead of our side. In reading the article carefully there is complete evidence of human nature exhibiting itself in its superlative, in obedience to the law of SELF-PRESERVATION. Men of black and white skins fought for safety, and in the act there was no time for entertainment of the humane or sympathetic part of man, as the writer, an eye-witness, states: "White men tried to pull their fellows up on to the boat and shove the Negroes off. The Negroes did the same. A man stood as much chance of stopping it as he did of pushing over the rock of Gibraltar—at least, that is the way it seemed, until one NEGRO, a horseman, rose so far above the ruck of humanity about him that he turned the brutal, fighting tumult into men again. HE RESTORED DEMQCRACY ON THE BOTTOM OF THAT LIFE-BOAT." Here, in this terrible fight for life between men of different colors (and what is termed different races comes a man of color who with fearlessness and courage, natural qualities in his existence, takes hold of the situation, restores order, saves lives, and above all demonstrates that his kind and his color even under such extreme circumstances could forget the hardships and sufferings he was undergoing, could forget the measure of ill-treatment meted out to him by the dominating racial power, would not take advantage of the law of retaliation or abide the Mosaic ritual of "an eye for an eye," but showed his spirit of democracy in his unitary action and method, saving white, saving black, from the angry deep that in a moment later would envelop them. "Neither do men put a candle under a bushel"—the words of Holy Writ—gave further evidence of its truism when white men fought their fellow white men in their attempt to throw one of Green's (the Negro rescuer) black survivors back into the water. This Negro carried on his rescue work for some time, until safety was finally assured the survivors. The writer, from the fulness of his soul, the largeness of his heart and the God-created human oneness of all men permeating his thoughts, could not keep from concluding thus: "It was the heroism of this big Negro from Newport News which redeemed the disgraceful conduct of the men in the capsized boat. For an equivalent act in the trenches, men are decorated. But Gren was only a horseman. I never even saw an account of his bravery published." But, Negroes, the lack of publication does not worry us. This writing from this white man who was rescued is a testimony indisputable to the superior qualities possessed by the black man—an endorsement of his ability to exercise the franchise—a living eyewitness, subscriber and proof as to his cool-headedness under life and death circumstances and hence we are glad that we have bought another real friend with the only price we pay to secure fair play—HELP UNDER EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES AND RESCUE FROM PERIL. Green is not a black hero, but a thorough tested and tried representative of the HUMAN RACE, of which they must be proud, and Virginia especially would not be doing justice to herself if her senators and congressmen did not recommend this action of extraordinary bravery to the government of the United States of America and the people of Newport News to the Carnegie Institution of Awards for such actions. Fellow Negroes, take heart! Lose no time over worrying with the thing insignificant, but learning the lesson, profiting by the standards of GREEN THE HORSEMAN, THE BARS MUST BE LET DOWN AND THE WAY OF INGREES OPENED TO OUR RACE. We are getting friends and supporters; therefore, let us plan to keep them. Transforming Power of Just War Demonstrated on College Campus Transforming Power of Just War Demonstrated on College Campus No one who has lived on a college campus since the declaration of war with Germany can doubt the transforming power of a commanding cause. As if by a magic touch, all the fine promise of young manhood has been suddenly matured in the splendid beginnings of its power. PETER H. I believe that the cause to which our nation has committed itself is a just cause. It is a war against war, to bring to an end the misery of the struggle abroad and inaugurate the new era of permanent peace. We feel our position justified, because the issues at stake are not merely those of democracy and liberty, but the very fundamental principles upon which democracy must rest and liberty find its justification—the elemental distinctions between right and wrong, good and evil, justice and injustice. Tree Disease Threatens Vast Loss to Nation's Timber Resources Tree Disease Threatens Vast Loss to Nation's Timber Resources An enemy from Germany—the white pine blister disease—has invaded the United States, occupied all of New England and driven into Canada; it has thrust forward across the New York state line despite the most vigorous efforts to check it. Columbia and Essex counties are now virtually in its hands, and all the remainder of the state is threatened. The disease has been discovered and defeated in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, but has made a strong advance out West and occupied territory along the southern state line between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Ohio has been invaded. But this is not all. The progress of the disease has been astonishingly rapid wherever it has been allowed to gain a foothold. The great Northwest and the rich Pacific coast are now threatened, while an advance southward and westward toward the Mississippi is almost certain. What is this foe? What is this invasion, and what does it mean to the man in the street? The white pine blister disease is a wood canker which kills our famous white pine trees and would doubtless also kill our valuable sugar pines and all five-leaved pines to which it might spread. It is sometimes called the white pine rust from the rusty appearance of the "blisters." Eight or ten years ago the disease was unknown in this country. It came secretly, no one knows exactly how or when, and it worked secretly until it was established. Then it spread. In some places it was stamped out, in others no headway was made against it, and it has continued to spread, spread, spread, till in less than a decade it has become a great national menace. The white pine blister disease not only threatens to wipe out hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of valuable pine trees; it also threatens the currant and gooseberry bushes of the regions where it has obtained a hold. The disease, which is a fungus growth, cannot travel from pine tree to pine tree. It goes from a pine to a currant or gooseberry bush, develops there, and leaves the currant bush to attack another pine, which, once infected with the disease, faces death. What Will United States Do to Meet Wartime Tuberculosis Problem? One of the tragic conditions in Europe at the present time is the unusual prevalence of tuberculosis among the soldiers and the civil population; and one of the signal mistakes on the part of the warring nations was that none of them foresaw or made preparations for this calamity. It could have been prevented to a large extent by the exclusion of tuberculous persons from the army through more careful examinations of recruits and by protecting persons with tuberculous tendencies from the tremendous physical and mental stress of modern warfare. It could have been ameliorated by the provision of hospital and sanatorium facilities, the development of an extensive dispensary and visiting-nurse service, the creation of farm colonies and by keeping intact, instead of dissipating, the existing agencies for fighting this important modern war disease. With these things neglected, tuberculosis now actually threatens to decimate France. Its ravages in Belgium are horrible. Austria-Hungary, Russia, Italy and Germany are feeling the acute sting of the white plague, and England, although better prepared than all the rest, is finding tuberculosis an enormous wartime problem. France is now struggling under the burden of a half-million of her people crippled by the wounds of battle and another half-million suffering from active tuberculosis. Of her soldiers, 100,000 have been returned actively tubercular, and France, now working frantically, hopes to have 15,000 sanatorium beds by the end of the year to care for these consumptives. Belgium has seen her actively tuberculous population increased between 100 and 200 per cent in the past two years. What will the United States, with facilities for the care of tuberculosis hopelessly inadequate in times of peace—what will the United States do to meet her wartime tuberculosis problem? Present Hour Is the Greatest in History For Women of the World By MRS. RAYMOND ROBINS President of National Women's Trade Union League of America Wonderful as this hour is for democracy and labor, it is the greatest hour in history for the women of the world. After centuries of discrimination women are coming into the labor and festival of life on equal terms with men. Woman's labor in the field feeds the soldiers on the firing line. Woman's labor in factories and mills feeds the cannon in the trenches. Woman's labor in shops and stores feeds the homes of Europe. Canada, Russia, America, and even England will have an enfranchised womanhood when this war is over.

THE CAPITOL PETROLEUM COMPANY Not What We "EXPECT TO DO," but What We "ARE DOING" We are Now Drilling Well No.1 in Nowata County, Oklahoma. (Extracts from our Geologist's report on this tract): "This property is within the Eastern Oil Belt that extends through Kansas and Oklahoma, and is just north of the famous Cherokee Shallow Pool, and east of the Forman Pool in Oklahoma. The Coffeyville Pool in Kansas is on the north. The principal producing sands in the State of Oklahoma are the "Bartlesville Sand," the "Tucker Sand" and the "Burgess Sand." These sands should be reached on this property at depths ranging from 600 feet to 900 feet. Some of the wells to the south of this property have shown an initial production of as much as 200 barrels from these sands. The property is located in a section of known and proven oil value, and the history of the oil production of this territory is a matter of common knowledge. WELL NO. 2. Drilling will be started August 10th on our 597-acre tract in Bourbon County, Kansas. The Doherty holdings join us on one side and the Tulsa Supply Co. on another. There are 49 producing oil wells and 3 producing gas wells within a radius of eight miles. The pipe line of the Kansas Natural Gas Company passes near by, and they have agreed to connect in at their own expense and pay us the highest market price for the gas if we get gas. The big refinery of the Eastern Kansas Refining Co. is just ten miles west. In fact, there will be no trouble at all to find a market right at the source of production. Mr. McGee, our Field Manager, is not only a Geologist, but also a practical oil operator, who has had years of experience in these fields, and has been instrumental in opening up some of the best oil and gas wells in this territory.

Nelson, member of the National Guards, was heard before Magistrate Bray, who remanded him for the crim- inal division of the District Court and fixed his bonds at $1,500.

A youth of little more than 26 years, Louis May, son of Mr. and Mrs. May of Nebraska, and son-in-law of Mr, and Mrs, Victor Walker of Den- ver, departed this life Friday, July 27th, in answer to the roll call in the ranks of the Great Majority. Popu- lar in the community, beloved by his wife, parents and other relatives, generous to a fault, he gained an en: viable reputation, and his sudden flight from this time to eternity’s cre- ates a shock that can hardly be over- come. Earlier in life he had quite a scholastic career and as an all-round athlete distinguished himself on sev- eral occasions for the schools he had the honor to represent. It can be truly said of him that he was happiest after he succeeded in making others happy, Surrounded by a number of youthful associates he made an im- pression as a man of stirling quali- ties, and commanded the respect and admiration. of many business men with whom he dealt as one with a bril- liant future. In the midst of this suc- cessful career he was seized with an illness which proved fatal in the space of five days. Funeral services were held from his late residence, 2829 Lafayette street, on Monday last, when the very impressive ceremony per- formed by Father Brown of the Church of the Redeemer, the large attendance of friends, and the numer- ous, choice and beautiful floral offer- ings bore evidence to the close of a life that ceased to adorn the home, the business life and the community. He is gone not to receive the reward of treasures laid up on earth, but to re- ceive the “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord.” Interment Fairmount cem- etery by automobile.

Happiness is health. SOME DAINTY COCONUT DISHES. The fresh coconut is so delicious when carefully peeled and grated, so much superior to the dried article, that it should be used more freely when it is in season and may be bought for eight to ten cents. Bread Coconut Soup. Put two quarts of good white stock into a saucepan, add a half teaspoonful of salt, one blade of mace, two bay leaves and half a cupful of finely chopped coconut; simmer gently for one and a half hours, then strain and reheat, adding six tablespoonfuls of rice flour mixed with a little of the cooled stock, add two cupfuls of thin cream and serve hot. A half cupful of grated coconut added to a cream pie or to a simple custard, either cup custard or a pie, makes a pleasing change. Coconut Croquettes.—Put a quart of milk in a double boiler, stir in a cupful of farina, a teaspoonful of salt, and cook, stirring until thick and well cooked. Add a cupful of chopped coconut, one teaspoonful of butter, three tablespoonfuls of sugar and a half teaspoonful of almond extract. Remove from the fire and let stand over hot water 15 minutes. Pour into a buttered pan to mold. When chilled cut in slices, roll in plenty of fine bread crumbs and fry in hot fat. Drain and serve with a sweet sauce. Coconut Souffle.—Beat four eggs until light, add six tablespoonfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of baking powder, six table spoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of orange extract, one cupful of finely chopped coconut and two cupfuls of milk. Mix carefully and turn into a buttered fireproof dish as soon as it is set, sprinkle with another cupful of grated coconut and two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Serve hot. Coconut Filling for Layer Cake.—Beat the whites of three eggs until stiff, add enough confectioners' sugar to make it of the consistency to spread, flavor with a little rose extract and sprinkle it thickly with fresh grated coconut. Fondant stirred thick with coconut, flavored and made into balls, is a very nice confection.

A home should be neither so pretentious nor elegant that it draws one's attention from its owner. A FEW APPETIZING SALADS. Salads well combined, well seasoned, and well garnished are always a great addition to any menu. Vegetable Salad.—Mix together well chilled, cooked string beans, thinly sliced, cucumbers, and shredded lettuce.

For the dressing use three tablespoonfuls of olive oil, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, salt, mustard, paprika and red pepper in small quantities, beat with an egg beater and place on ice to chill. Pour over the vegetables just as they are served. Cold cooked carrots, cut in shoe strings, cold string beans, with a few capers and mayonnaise dressing served on lettuce is another good mixture. Orange Jelly Salad.—Dissolve one tablespoonful of gelatin in one-third of a cupful of strained orange juice, and stir over the fire until well heated. Have ready half a cupful of nut meats coarsely chopped. Peel three oranges, divide into sections and cut each section into half. When the jelly is ready to mold, pour a little of it into the wet molds, add some of the nuts, and orange sections, then more jelly until the molds are full. When ready to serve, turn out on crisp lettuce leaves and top with a spoonful of whipped cream. Pineapple Salad.—Arrange slices of canned pineapple on individual plates, place a whole marshmallow in the center with small pieces of marshmallow scattered over the pineapple, then put a few cherries around it, and on top of the marshmallow a nut meat. Over the top pour a rich mayonnaise dressing. To make the mayonnaise, put yolk of an egg into a cold bowl, add a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of red pepper, a fourth of a teaspoonful of mustard, beat until thick, then add a half teaspoonful of powdered sugar and a teaspoonful of lemon juice, beat well, then add a little at a time the olive oil, when it is thick, thin with more lemon juice or vinegar, adding more oil until two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice or vinegar and three-fourths of a cupful of oil are used. Oatmeal cookies to be entirely wholesome should have the oatmeal well browned in the oven before combining it with the other ingredients and if it is the coarse large flakes it should be ground through the meat grinder before browning. An oatmeal cooky baked from twelve to fifteen minutes is not well enough cooked as it is impossible to cook oatmetl sufficiently in that length of time. Nellie Maxwell FAMOUS SEA NAMES REVIVED Rechristening of Seized German Vessels Recalls Ships That Brought Glory to Merchant Marine. The shipping board has adopted the suggestion that the sailing vessels among the German refugee ships which the government took over as a war measure be given names from the list of famous vessels of the clipper ship era. These ships, barks and schooners were seized on the Pacific coast. Five of them, now put in service, are renamed Northern Light, Red Jacket, Game Cock, Flying Cloud and Dreadnaught. Those old ships made the American merchant marine famous in the period preceding the Civil war. The German vessels are probably nothing like them in appearance, and could not match such winged witches as the Red Jacket, Flying Cloud and others in a race around the Horn, or between New York and Liverpool. However, flying the American flag, commanded by American skippers and manned by American crews—for the most part, very likely, not directly descended from the old Yankee stock that ruled the seas in the clipper days—the Steinbek, Dalbek, Vinner, Ottawa and Kurt will try to live up to their new names It is too bad if, as appears from the spelling in the dispatch from Washington, the shipping board has followed the navy department in spelling "dreadnaught" with an "a" instead of an "o." Secretary Daniels made that change soon after he became the civil lord of the fleet. In the common meaning, the dictionary may prefer "dreadnaught" to "dreadnought" though both are perfectly good usage. But there is no warrant at all for the former spelling in the only sense in which a secretary of the navy has official use for the term. The British battleship, the originality of which gave the name to this type of naval architecture, was the Dreadnought, and except by our navy department that is always the spelling when the type is referred to. As for the famous old clipper ship her name, emphatically, was Dreadnought. In a free country anybody may spell to suit himself. But to call that German ship "Dreadnaught" is not renaming her for the historic American clipper. It is simply confirming orthographical dictum.—Providence Journal. Influence of the Times Literary modes are like the modes of fashion. True, literature represents the great issues occupying the minds of the people. Not always, however, does it so represent the interests of the age; for example, the romanticism of the period following the French revolution and periods of the same kind in ancient times, says the Columbia State. The Greek thought produced Aristotle, but Aristotle had something to do with it himself. The followers of Aristotle followed the example of a great man. Such fashions have at all times been characteristic of literature. Or take the present age. Is the literature of the age dictated by a zeitgeist? Only vaguely can one assert that it is so. With the war, however, there came in new interests and dangers which have affected man. The condition was made by man and one assertion by someone brings down another so that while, figuratively, the times may be said to be speaking, the men are simply following a fashion. If zeitgeist is important in determining thought, the spirit surely was for disarmament and peace, for such was the spirit of leaders of thought. However, other individuals thinking otherwise had larger followings and the political power to wield that influence, and the war was the result. He Refused a Peerage. David Alfred Thomas, the man who has charge of British munitions purchases in the United States and Canada, under Lloyd-George, is sixty-one years old. He has refused a peerage, has fought for an eight-hour working day for British miners, long before the matter became a political question, and is one of the few men of high finance that is beloved by his workmen. "D. A.," as he is known in England, is one of the largest coal operators in the world. A few years ago he organized the Cambrian coal combine, one of the most powerful combinations in Britain. He was born at Monmouthshire, in Wales, March 26, 1856, the son of a wealthy colliery owner. He was educated at Cambridge, where he won academic honors. He began work with a pick in the mines and was a clerk in his father's office. He entered parliament representing a large mining constituency, and served for 20 years. Law Regulating Germs. New York state has a new law regulating the possession of disease germs by scientists and experimenters. All laboratories and experimenters must take out a state permit before propagating, possessing, handling or dealing in any germs of deadly alliments. The purpose is to prevent germs falling into the hands of persons likely to use them for malicious or murderous purposes, and to keep track of all such media of disease in the state. Practical Enough. "I certainly got a shock yesterday," confided the broker to a friend. "A young man telegraphed me from Maine that he had married my youngest daughter." "Great heavens!" returned the other. "Well, all you can hope for now is that he may turn out to be a practical business man." "Oh." interrupted father, "I guess he's practical enough. He sent his message 'collect.'" DRYING IN THE SUN Have All Fruits and Vegetables Properly Prepared. SIMPLE APPARATUS FOR WORK Bright, Hot Sunny Days Are Best, and Close Watch Should Be Kept That Rain or Dew Does Not Hit Product—Avoid Insects. (From FARMERS' BULLETIN 841, United States, for Agriculture.) States Department of Agriculture. The drying of fruits and vegetables in the sun is a simple process if they have been prepared properly. In its simplest form such drying consists in spreading the freshly prepared slices or pieces on sheets of paper, or, if there is danger of the product's sticking, spreading on old pieces of muslin held down with stones. Bright, hot, sunny days are chosen for this work, and a close watch is kept to see that no rain or dew wets the product. If files and other insects are abundant, a mosquito bar is thrown over the product. Once or twice a day the slices are stirred or turned over with the hand and the thin ones which dry first are taken out. Sun drying has much to recommend it, since it requires no expenditure of fuel and there is little danger of the product becoming overheated. Dust, however, gathers on the product, and, unless it is protected carefully, files, and especially certain insects which habitually attack dried fruits, will lay their eggs upon it. These eggs later will hatch out, and the worms, or larvae, will riddle the dried fruits or vegetables, rendering them unfit for the table. Trays of Uniform Size. Fruits and vegetables, when dried in the sun, generally are spread on large trays of uniform size, so constructed that they can be stacked one on top of the other and protected from rain by means of a cover made of oilcloth, canvas or roofing paper. A very cheap tray can be made of strips of lumber three-fourths of an inch thick and two inches wide, which form the sides and ends, and lath, which is nailed on to form the bottom. Spaces one-eighth inch wide should be left between the laths for ventilation, and the traps can be raised off the ground by placing them on poles or an improvised trestle. As laths are four Metal-Covered Cabinet Type of Homemade Drier. feet long, these lath trays are most economical of material when made four feet in length. Better but more expensive trays can be made by substituting galvanized-wire screen, one-eighth or one-fourth inch mesh, for the laths, in which case the most economical size would depend upon the width of the wire screen obtainable. A cheap and very satisfactory drier for use over the kitchen stove can be made by any handy boy or carpenter from a small amount of small-mesh galvanized-wire netting and a number of laths or strips of wood about one half inch thick and two inches wide. The screen may be tacked directly on the framework to make the drying shelves, or the framework can be made to support separate trays. By using two laths nailed together, the framework can be stiffened and larger trays made if desirable. This form or any of the lighter makes of driers can be suspended from the ceiling over the kitchen range or over the oil, gasoline or gas stove, and it will utilize the hot air which rises during the cooking hour. It can be raised out of the way or swung to one side by a crane made of lath when the stove is required for cooking purposes, and lowered or swung back to utilize the heat which otherwise would be wasted when the top of the stove is not in use. Another homemade cookstove drier can be used on a wood or coal range or a kerosene stove can be made easily and cheaply. Dimensions: Base 24 by 16 inches; height 36 inches. A base six inches high is made of galvanized sheet iron. This base slightly flares toward the bottom and has two small openings for ventilation in each of the four sides. On the base rests a boxlike frame made of 1 or $1\frac{1}{2}$-inch strips of wood. The two sides are braced with $1\frac{1}{4}$-inch strips which serve as cleats on which the trays in the drier rest. These are placed at intervals of three inches. The frame is covered with tin or galvanized sheet iron which is tacked to the wooden strips of the frame. Thin strips of wood may be used instead of tin or sheet iron. The door is fitted on small hinges and fastened with a thumb latch. It opens wide, so that the trays can be removed easily. The bottom of the drier is made of a piece of perforated galvanized sheet iron. Two inches above the bottom is placed a solid sheet of galvanized iron which is three inches less in length and width than the bottom. This sheet rests on two wires fastened to the sides of the drier. This prevents the direct heat from coming in contact with the product and serves as a radiator to spread the heat more evenly. The first tray is placed three inches above the radiator. The trays rest on the cleats three inches apart. A drier of the given dimensions will hold eight trays. The frame of the tray is made of one-inch strips on which is tacked galvanized screen wire, which forms the bottom of the tray. The tray is 21 by 15 inches, making it three inches less in depth than the drier. The lowest tray, when placed in the drier, is pushed to the back, leaving the three-inch space in front. The next tray is placed even with the front, leaving a de Homemade Drier, Made of Lath and Wire Netting. Homemade Drier, Made of Lath and Wire Netting. three-inch space in the back. The other trays alternate in the same way. This permits the current of heated air to pass around and over the trays. A ventilator opening, about two inches wide and six inches long, is left in the top of the drier, through which the moist air may pass away. This principle of construction is followed so that currents of air will pass over the product as well as up through it, gathering the moisture and passing away. The movement of the current of air induces a more rapid and uniform drying. The upper trays can be shifted to the lower part of the drier, and the lower trays to the upper part as drying proceeds, so as to dry the products uniformly throughout. Another Home Drier. Still another home drier is the cookstove oven. Bits of food, leftovers, especially sweet corn, can be dried on plates in a very slow oven or on the back of the cookstove and saved for winter use. If the oven is very warm, the door should be left ajar and the temperature of the oven often noted. Trays for use in the oven can be made from a convenient-sized galvanized wire screen by bending up the edges one or two inches. Cookstove driers on the market are of two types. One type consists of a series of trays upon which the material to be dried is spread. These trays are placed in a framework one above the other, forming a compartment through which the heated air rises, carrying off the moisture. The second type consists of a shallow flat metal box filled with water and designed so that one end can rest on the back of the stove Drying Fruits and Vegetables on Homemade Racks by Forcing Alr at Room Temperature Across Them. and the other on a leg reaching to the floor. It also may be supported over a lamp. The use of an electric fan in facilitating drying is feasible for those who already own a fan. It has been found that many sliced vegetables and fruits placed in long trays three by one foot and stacked in two tiers, end to end, before an electric fan can be dried to the requisite dryness within twenty-four hours. Some require much less time. For instance, sliced string beans and shredded sweet potatoes will dry before a fan running at a moderate speed within a few hours. In many cities the electric fan will cost not more than one-fourth of a cent an hour to run. The fan should be placed close to the stack of trays, and they should not be filled so full that the air cannot pass freely through them. The fan method has a marked advantage in that the product keeps cool owing to evaporation while it is being dried, thus tending to retain the color and eliminate spoilage.

BENNETT AND MRS. BENNETT FAVORITES FOR BLOUSES FOR MIDSUMMER II NEW STYLES ADAPTED TO STOUT FIGURES. The shops continue to display blouses—tailored and otherwise made—for late summer wear. Tailored models are of crepe de chine and other wash silks, while georgette crepe holds its own first place for dressy wear. The lingerie blouses of fine white volle, trimmed with narrow filet, cluny or lingerie lace, and further ornamented with fine touches—used sparingly—gains ground as midsummer nears. This is a favorite, worn with white wash skirts and with other separate skirts for the street and sports. It lauders to perfection, and the silk blouses do almost as well, with careful washing. A blouse of white pussy willow taffeta is one of the few tailored models which is not uncompromisingly plain. It has a very simple pattern on the front wrought in small white and blue beads. Except for this it is entirely plain, relying for its style upon a wide sailor collar and deep pointed cuffs turned back at the wrists. In the blouse of georgette narrow revers at the front widen into a collar that is deep at the back and edged with narrow filet lace. Fine tucks, in two groups, extend from the shoulder seams to the line of the bust and a dainty pattern in silk embroidery finishes the decoration. The sleeves are gathered into deep plain cuffs and all seams are hemstitched. Among new arrivals there are a few blouses that fasten in the back. They are provided with high collars and ja- NEW STYLES ADAPTE lots and are a boon to the too-slender woman. But blouses like those pictured, with open throats, are worn with separate high collars and jabots. The stout, matronly figure has a dignity and style of its own, and, in the clothes which modern methods make for it, beauty of line as well. There is a system of careful designing, one by specialists in the work, that has resulted in a new order of things. These specialists adapt the new styles to the figures of stout women, but hold them to the "svelt" line, and if a new style is incompatible with the svelt-line, it is the style that is sacrificed, and not the line. The stout woman must begin at the beginning by having a corset that fits and shapes up her figure. Their, if she adopts scientifically designed" clothes, and has them perfectly executed, no one will ever couple "ungainly" with her figure, for it will have good lines and style. But in the new designing nothing is left to chance; every line, every button, every drapery—everything is a matter of study. There are two good examples of successful costuming of the stout figure, shown in the picture. In one of them, of plain satin and satin-striped crepe georgette, the designer takes advantage of the newly arrived box-plaited skirt to emphasize long, straight lines in the costume. The plaits are narrow and thoroughly pressed and the skirt is set on to a bodice of satin with long front and plaits at each side of it. It fastens with a row of small satin-covered buttons set close together. In the over drape of striped crepe the satin stripe overlays the crepe stripe. The belt of plain satin slips through slashes in the straight hanging drape and dips to lengthen the waistline at the front. The upper part of the sleeves, of the striped crepe, falls over a deep, close-fitting cuff of satin. Length of skirt is to be determined by becomingness and not sacrificed to styles that shorten the figure. This is noticeable in the suit shown with a plain skirt cut ankle length. The long lines' of the coat are almost TO STOUT FIGURES. unbroken, even the needlework decoration at the bottom is not extended across the front. The waistline is managed with a narrow belt that dips to lengthen it, and this is emphasized by the row of bone buttons that fasten the coat.
