Colorado Statesman

Subscribe for the Only Reliable Negro Paper in Colorado, "The Colorado Statesman" THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE VOL. XXIV. A day or two ago the New York daily papers carried the most horrible story of barbarity that has yet come out of the war. I said "barbarity;" the word is not strong enough, nor is the word "atrocity;" in fact, there is no word in the English language to express the character of the story told by Capt. David Fallon, a young Irish-Australian veteran of the Gallipoli and Belgian campaigns, when he spoke before the Society of Illustrators at their dinner a few nights ago. ```markdown ``` Captain Fallon told his hearers how he had seen the Germans crucify a nun in Belgium by nailing her to the door of the convent. But here is a part of the captain's speech clipped from one of the morning papers, which gives the story in his own words: "In Belgium," said the young captain, "I saw a Mother Superior crucified to the door of her convent, and within the bodies of noble women, who had consecrated their lives to the teaching of the young and ministering to the poor, cut to pieces and mutilated. "In Belgium I saw an aged blacksmith, his folded hands pinned to his anvil, and a note on his breast proclaiming in German 'He will shoe no more of the horses of our enemies.' "When it came our turn our boys went into the trenches to do their bit. And, as has happened to your boys, the trenches were raided, and when the clash was over some of our boys were missing. The next day we saw their heads. Cutting them from their bodies, the Boches had stuck them on bayonets above the trenches, scarce fifty yards away. That time, when the word came, our boys waited for no barrage before they went over and in the enemy's trenches. There we found our comrades crucified and disemboweled and otherwise mutilated. And then and there, gentlemen, we vowed that never again would we spare a German life." My first impulse on reading this revolting narration was to say that Captain Fallon was bragging or lying. That he was talking to magnify himself, especially in the eyes of his lady listeners, or that he was purposely distorting and inventing facts in order to stir up a feeling of revenge against the Germans. No doubt his words had both effects, for the accounts of the speech state that he thrilled the 200 artists, as in "words that went through every man and woman present like a bayonet thrust," he cited instance after instance of the debauched cruelty of German soldiers perpetrated against civilian and foe. I was not present, so did not get the thrill. What I got was a feeling of indignation that this Captain Fallon would come to New York for the purpose of making us believe that Germans or any other civilized people would commit such acts either in war or peace, and I made a clipping of the account with the intention of writing an article stating that we had enough to fight the Germans about without listening to such improbable tales as these related by Captain Fallon. In filing the clipping I came across two other clippings from the hearings before the Committee on Rules in the House of Representatives at Washington on August 3d. I read through these two clippings and was immediately ready to apologize to Captain Fallon for my doubts regarding his sincerity and veracity. These clippings contained the statements of Congressman Dyer and Congressman Rodenberg before the committee regarding the East St. Louis riots. Congressman Dyer said: "One man in particular who spoke to me is now an officer in the United States army reserve corps, Lieutenant Arbuckle, who is here in Washington somewhere, he having come here to report to the adjutant general. "At the time of these happenings he was not in the employ of the government, but he was there on some business in East St. Louis. He said that he saw a part of this killing, and he saw them burning railway cars in yards, which were waiting for transport, filled with interstate commerce. He saw members of the militia of Illinois shoot Negroes. He saw policemen of the city of East St. Louis shoot Negroes. He saw this mob go to the homes of these Negroes and nail boards up over the doors and windows and then set fire and burn them up. He saw them take little children out of the arms of their mothers and throw them into the fires and burn them up. He saw the most dastardly and most criminal outrages ever perpetrated in this country, and this is undisputed. And I have talked with others; and my opinion is that over 500 people were killed on this occasion." Congressman Rodenberg said: "Now, the plain, unvarnished truth of the matter, as Mr. Joyce told Secretary Baker, is that civil government in East St. Louis completely collapsed at the time DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 24 1917 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc, State House ble Negro Pap ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SAT of the riot. The conditions there at the time beggar description. It is impossible for any human being to describe the ferocity and brutality of that mob. In one case, for instance, a little 10-year-old boy, whose mother had been shot down, was running around sobbing and looking for his mother, and some members of the mob shot the boy, and before his life had passed from his body they picked the little fellow up and threw him in the flames. "Another colored woman with a little 2-year-old baby in her arms was trying to protect the child, and they shot her and also shot the child, and threw them in the flames. The horror of that tragedy in East St. Louis can never be described. It weighted me down with a feeling of depression that I did not recover from for weeks." We know the statements made by these two members of Congress to be true. Therefore, since civilized Americans could commit such acts against other unoffending Americans in peace, there is no reason to doubt that Germans would commit the acts related by Captain Fallon against their foes in war. We again apologize to Captain Fallon.—New York Age, November 15, 1917. Philadelphia, Pa.-Mr. Vaudicar Walker. recently of the Haynes Motor Car Co., and an experienced man in automobiles for the past fifteen years, has accepted a position as road agent and inspector for The Peerless Motor Car Co., 2314 Chestnut street, Philadelphia. This position carries the honor of being the only Negro ever appointed by such an enterprising firm of automobile makers. We are again convinced that preparedness is one barrier against race prejudice. THE NEGRO IN THE WAR (FromGreenville, S. C. News) The course of the Negro race has been highly creditable in this war. Upon barren soil fell the seed of sedition and insurrection disseminated by German agents and pro-German newspapers in an attempt to incite the Negroes to uprising against the United States. So far as we have observed, Negro leaders have been conspicuously free from treasonable utterances. Drafted Negroes have gone to the front as cheerfully as any other set of men and, if history repeats itself, they will fight with signal bravery. German bullets will send as much torture and agony into black bodies as into white. Death will not discriminate against the Negro soldier. The patriotism of those people will not be forgotten and should ever be kept in mind and taken into account for full credit in the adjustment of racial problems. THE SOLDIER AND HIS SKIN (From New York World) Race prejudice in the United States Army is as intolerable as treason or insubordination. If encouraged in any degree it cannot fail to destroy discipline and weaken the physical and moral force of the establishment. The day following Gen. Castleton's rebuke of this spirit in the Kentucky camp, a colored Lieutenant was mobbed at Vicksburg by white private soldiers with civilian assistance and finally compelled to make his escape in disguise. He had gone to his home proud of the commission which he had earned by hard study and training. He fled not so much to save himself as to remove from his parents the danger of violence. If colored men are good enough to go to France to defend with their lives the rights of the United States, they are entitled to all the respect at home for their uniform and rank which white men receive everywhere without question. The mingled blood of lords and costermongers is said almost to have obliterated class distinctions among the British, who once regarded them as invincible. There can be no complete triumph for democracy as far as America is concerned which does not stifle forever the snobbery which judges a man not by his valor and capabilities but by his color. ENERGETIC ADVERTISING MAN AGER CHIEF CAUSE OF BUSINESS SUCCESS. T. C. GREENE, the energetic and popular advertising manager of the Denver Dry Goods Company, one of the largest in the Middle West, is determined to show great returns from his fall and Christmas trade. Experienced in this line of work and thoroughly capable of handling the situation Mr. Greene's efficiency proves itself in the numerical increase of the patrons of this store as well as the fair margin of profits that result from his special mode of advertising. Believing in giving that necessary information to the public whereby they become the beneficiaries of the best goods at prices within their reach, this advertising agent is recognized as a very valuable asset to the Denver Dry Goods Company, and the public in their appreciation of such services continue to patronize this MODERN HOUSE OF FASHION. RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources Chicago, Ill., Nov. 12.—The Yellow Cab Co., has put into their night service, as automobile washers. 150 colored women. It is reported they are proving more efficient than men, cleaning the cars better, more quickly and losing less time loafing on the job. Tuskegee Institute was recently left $100,000 by Roberly D. Evans, a business man of Boston, who was deeply interested in Negro education. Hampton was left $25,000 by him. Tuskegee Institute also received $1,000 from the Seligman estate, New York, and the Leverett estate, Boston. Indianapolis, Ind.—Dr. Sumner R. Furniss was elected councilman from the Fourth Ward Tuesday of last week, winning by a large plurality. The Fourth Ward is in a colored section and Dr. Furniss received 95 per cent of the vote cast. Due to Dr. Furniss' name on the Republican ticket the colored voters rallied to the support of the Republican candidate for Mayor, Charles W. Jewett, who was elected by a small plurality. Baltimore, Md., Nov, 12.—City Solicitor Field anxious to gain notoriety and curry favor with Southern promoters of segregation, is pushing a case for appeal in which a colored man named Jackson was fined $500 for violating the City ordinance known as the Segregation Act. Jackson is relying on the Supreme Court decision and will no doubt take an appeal. London, Nov. 16.—In the recent meeting of the Congress of Awards. Thomas N. Alexander, British Guiana, was awarded the military medal for exceptional coolness and devotion to duty, and for keeping his gun in action and firing for forty-five minutes to maintain a flank while exposed to heavy shell fire. Private J. Walker and Private D. C. Babb, $ ^{o} $ the West Indian contingent, received medals for rescue work done under heavy shell fire. Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 14.—The Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co., has opened a night school for its colored employees, who number hundreds. They are taught shop arithmetic, English, manufacturing materials, blue-print reading and hygiene. A company representative states NO 14 the colored men are making good and will be encouraged. Some workers in the plant earn as high as $7.00 per day. New Orleans, La., Nov. 7. The Louisiana State Railway Commission has given the railroads operating in this State until May 1st, 1918, to provide equal accommodations for colored and white passengers. The "Jim Crow" cars have been dirty, antiquated and uncomfortable, and any improvement in present conditions will be hailed with joy by colored travelers in the State. It is expected that the action of the commission will be followed by those of other Southern States as the handling of colored troops has brought much complaint to Government officials. "Jim Crow" cars can never be made pleasant, but they need to be kept little better than cattle cars and the colored traveler compelled to pay the same fare is entitled to chair car service, as granted to the whites. BISHOP LAWRENCE SAYS, "POWER OF PRAYER IS A PRACTICAL FIGHTING FORCE." "When a million people set their hearts and minds and souls upon a certain objective, something is bound to happen," said Bishop Lawrence in a sermon whereby he established in the minds of a congregation which crowded St. Paul's cathedral to the doors the "power of prayer as a practical fighting force." Then the bishop pointed out that when a man starts to pray for the success of our forces against autocracy, he must ask himself many questions: "Am I a good and pure upholder of true democracy, do I always want a democracy which keeps me in a privilege class, do I love my political party too well." He said the Negroes and the Japanese are fighting for us. "We must ask ourselves before we pray, can I ever think of the colored man again as a 'dirty n——,' or draw away my skirts in disdain from a colored woman in a street car; can I think of the yellow race as a horde of heathens, or make fun of the Chinaman in the street; can I rest easy and pray with a clean heart so long as Negroes are liable to be lynched or shot down by mobs?" "It is those things which make prayer a force for making better citizens, and by that means better fighters." said the bishop of Massachusetts.

Krylenko, commander-in-chief of the new people's commissaries of war, have issued a proclamation to the army and navy. "On Tuesday Gen. Dukhonin was ordered to offer an armistice to all nations, allied and hostile. The proclamation urges the soldiers not to allow revolutionary generals to destroy the great work of peace. It says they must guard them well so that lynch law cannot be used against them and so that the generals cannot evade imminent justice. ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The proclamation adds that the soldiers must observe the strongest revolutionary and military discipline. Regiments on frontal positions must elect immediately plenipotentaries to begin formally peace pourparlers and on the progress of these they must inform the commissaries by all possible means. Only the council of commissaries has the right to sign a final agreement for an armistice. The Russian announcement says that Gen. Dukhonin, who has been deposed, has been ordered to continue his duties until the new commander-in-chief, Ensign Krylenko, or another authorized person, arrives.

Berlin.—The text of the German official statement on operations in Italy follows: "Italian front: Tyrolese imperial riflemen and Wurttemberger troops have taken by storm the summits of Monte Fontana and Monte Spinucella between the Brenta and the Plave rivers."

No "Cyclones" on Land. Of late years it has become common to call every violent storm a "cyclone," which is plainly erroneous. A cyclone never occurs except on the ocean, asserts a weather observer, because a cyclone is a violent, whirling storm of great area, and no such storm could occur on land. The so-called "cyclones" of the West are "tornadoes," which are whirling storms of great violence, but contracted in area. Tornadoes have been known whose greatest width did not exceed a few rods, and those which exceed several miles in width are very unusual.

It is a real lion, too, and anybody can see that they are really running. It is all done by means of a treadmill upon which the lion is safely chained, though his bonds are not conspicuous. He is induced to run, the heroine marks time with all her might and a painted background of tropical scenery is moved past them at high speed on rollers.

THANKSGIVING WHOEVER cannot be thankful cannot even begin to appreciate life. The privilege of living and knowing that there is a mighty universe, full of mysterious life, and that for some also mysterious but purposeful reason we form an infinitesimal but eternal part of it, is a great blessing. We should be thankful for life. But the smallest favor, the most meager pleasure that we enjoy, is also a blessing, and for each and all of such blessings we should be thankful also. Life is made up of a multitude of blessings, many of which we are not disposed to recognize as such, because of our ignorance and shortsightedness. There are some ills and some misfortunes in life, for which we ourselves are not wholly to blame, but they are very few compared with our blessings. What we often call ills and misfortunes are usually blessings in disguise. The man who has not seen what he considered some great calamity turn into a great final blessing is either yet very young or very obstinate and dumb. The so-called calamity may have changed his whole course of life, compelling him to give up things on which his heart was set, yet in after years, through greater and unexpected successes, or, perhaps, through a prolonged and more useful life, made possible only by that so-called calamity, he realizes the vastness and recognizes the mystery of the blessing that was so strangely bestowed upon him. Many there are, no doubt, who take no account of such unseen guidance, preferring to credit their own personal shrewdness or to satisfy their consciences or gratify their vanity with assumptions of their great luck, for which they are not indebted. But why not remember the Source of all blessings and be thankful? For the thoughtless, as well as the mindful, Thanksgiving Day comes and brings its opportunity for a united rendering of recognition and praise unto the Author of all of the world's joys. Opportunity is one of the greatest words in the language of men. It is the beginning of the way to the expression of the highest thought and the deepest longings which the human heart and brain can possess. The opportunity to be thankful and to express that thankfulness is the greatest blessing of all. Let us not miss it. Of course, a special day for thankfulness is not altogether necessary, but the union of thought and action is in itself helpful, and the Thanksgiving festival is graciously remindful. If you have been afflicted, you have also had sympathy or pity or the promise, the hope or the realization of healing joys. If you have been disappointed or thwarted in virtuous plans or ambitions, you have also been strengthened and made wiser and more fit for higher and greater effort. If you have seen your plans prosper and roseate skies now spread over you in cheerful promise of the future, let humility and modesty, rather than pompous vanity, attend your actions and strengthen your security. If you have prospered and gained and are enjoying the fruits of ripe and well-rounded effort, remember the sunshine that lighted your way, the rain that nourished your seed, the wisdom that directed your course, the health and strength that supported and sustained you, and, above all, the ordering of the ways and of nature over which you had no control. And then, whether you are great or small, thriving or striving, well or afflicted, give thanks to God that He has guided your way and knows the value of your righteous reward. ```markdown ``` The Right Kind of Reading Matter The home news; the doings of the people in this town; the gossip of our own community, that's the first kind of reading matter you want.

S. Senator George Sutherland, Former President of the American Bar Association If I were asked to name the characteristic which more than any other distinguishes our present-day political institutions, I am not sure that I should not answer, "The passion for making laws." There are 48 small or moderate-sized legislative bodies in the United States engaged a good deal of the time, and one very large national legislature working overtime at this amiable occupation, their habitual output being not far from fifteen thousand statutes each year.

There are 48 small or moderate-sized legislative bodies in the United States engaged a good deal of the time, and one very large national legislature working overtime at this amiable occupation, their habitual output being not far from fifteen thousand statutes each year. The prevailing obsession seems to be that statutes, like the crops, enrich the country in proportion to their volume. Unfortunately for this notion, however, the average legislator does not always know what he is sowing and the harvest which frequently results is made up of strange and unexpected plants whose appearance is as astonishing to the legislator as it is disconcerting to his constituents. This situation, I am bound to say, is not wholly unrelated to a more or less prevalent superstition entertained by the electorate that previous training in legislative affairs is a superfluous adjunct of the legislative mind, which should enter upon its task with the sweet inexperience of a bride coming to the altar. As rotation in crops—if I may return to the agriculture figure—improves the soil, so rotation in office is supposed to improve the government. The comparison, however, is illusory since the legislator resembles the farmer who cultivates the crops rather than the crops themselves, and previous experience, even of the most thorough character, on the part of the farmer has never hitherto been supposed to destroy his availability for continued service. I think it was the late Mr. Carlyle, who is reported to have made the rather cynical observation that the only acts of parliament which were entitled to commendation were those by which previous acts of parliament were repealed. I am not prepared to go quite that far, though I am prepared to say that in my judgment an extraordinarily large proportion of the statutes which have been passed from time to time in our various legislative bodies might be repealed without the slightest detriment to the general welfare. The trouble with much of our legislation is that the legislator has mistaken emotion for wisdom, impulse for knowledge, and good intention for sound judgment. "He means well" is a sweet and wholesome thing in the field of ethics. It may be of small consequence, or of no, consequence at all, in the domain of law. "He means well" may save the legislator from the afflictions of an accusing conscience, but it does not protect the community from the affliction of mischievous and meddlesome statutes. Unselfish Co-operation and not Fault Finding Will Win War for America Unselfish Co-operation and not Fault Finding Will Win War for America By REPRESENTATIVE PAT HARRISON of Mississippi Co-operation, not fault-finding, is now the duty of Americans. The president of the United States is in this time of war charged with the gravest and most responsible duties. In the administration of new and untried laws and the operation of the greatly increased military and naval forces of the country, together with all the vast number of additional matters rendered necessary by the war, no doubt mistakes will be made. It would be a miracle if they were not. But the critic, especially if he be a leader of men whose duty it is to play an important part in molding public opinion—the critic and the fault finder whose only activities are criticizing and fault-finding with those who are administering the law and carrying on the numerous vast operations incident to war—is not a truly good soldier or a good leader or a loyal American. The disintegration of Russia, which has been so costly to the entente allied cause, and which will materially delay the successful termination of the war, should be a striking lesson to those Americans who are inclined to criticize and find fault with those whose duties and functions are to carry the war to a successful and victorious end. Great and large powers necessarily must be conferred upon the executive of the nation at this time. The delegation of such powers in ordinary times would not be dreamed of. But promptness and efficiency are imperative now and to obtain the highest efficiency, to strike with the power and might of the nation, we must delegate for the time unusual authority to the executive head. America's course in this war is of tremendous importance to the peace and safety and freedom of the world. Never in our history were unselfish co-operation and patriotic unity and devotion to duty so much needed. All true Americans will work together for the country's good, which means now all humanity's good. Those who do not are not true Americans. American People Cannot Consider Any Peace Proposed by Prussia We cannot and will not consider peace at the instance of Prussia or of any witting or unwitting agents of Prussia. The only peace the American people at any time will be prepared to consider is a peace which must be disastrous to every hope of Prussia's rulers or a peace made over their heads and perhaps their bodies with the German people, returned to reason and humaneness after the dethronement of the war-mad lords, who have been suffered to defile and to damn the whole German people. The president not merely willed to keep us out of war but throughout nearly three years of irritation and insult, of contumely and outrage, he achieved the miracle of keeping us out of the war. Why did the president lead us into war? Because he saw that we were not so much challenged to war as to defend the elementary sanctities of life in the only terms intelligible to that band of militarists who had brought hurt to half the world and shame unutterable to their dumbly trusting peoples. Groups other than the uncompromising pacifists are to be found in the leadership of the people's council, and these, mindful of the secre- ness of my charge, I accuse of readiness to accept an outcome of the war which would not bring peace to men but seal the dominance of the sword in the world Edison Diamond Disc The Phonograph with a Soul The Phonograph with a Soul It would be a privilege, wouldn't it, to have Margaret Matzenour, Marie Rappold, Anna Case, Arthur Middleton, Thomas Chalmers and the rest of our great artists as your guests Christmas?

HELP THE MASONS MAKE A CHEERFUL CHRISTMAS FOR COLORADO'S SOLDIERS AT CAMP FUNSTON. As this is our country's first Christmas in the world war it is thought that we will turn to service rather than to festivities; and that minds generally will be turned to the battlefields of Europe; and especially to our own boys. Therefore, it is to be expected that we at this time will be in a frame of mind to give expression of our appreciation and hope by remembering our boys at Camp Funston. So let us all turn out and help the Masons on November 29 at Manitou hall, 1747 Arapahoe street. Michaelson's Corner Fifteenth and Larimer Sts.

In France the original weather vanes were metal reproductions of knightly banners or pennants bearing their owner's heraldic devices and set upon the towers, and, like pennons, indicated the direction of danger, or a summons to victory, a fight or a frolic, a warning or a call, according to whether the day was to be fair or foul. An English, not a French, writer it was who first compared a vane to "the uncertain mind of a fantastical woman." The weather may be shifty, you see, but not the vane to its own duty, says London Review. Falsehood does not abide with it. Wherever a change in wind is important, it functions as a sentinel at the gates or as a courier spreading tidings, a silent, always visible Paul Revere.

A ball or two of well-seasoned hamburger steak is sufficient to season a dish of macaroni or rice, making a most substantial dish. Break up a cupful of macaroni in inch pieces and cover with boiling water well salted, to cook until tender. Put a or rice, making a most substantial dish. Break up a cupful of macaroni in inch pieces and cover with boiling water well salted, to cook until tender. Put a layer of the cooked macaroni in a caserole or granite baking dish, add bits of the cooked hamburger, a little onion juice and celery salt, a little broth or butter and water, repeat until the macaroni is used. Place in the oven and bake for a half hour. Green peppers and tomatoes may be used for seasoning, if so desired. Where chestnuts are plentiful they may make most dalty, nutritious, and at the same time, attractive dishes. Chestnuts contain carbohydrates which need cooking to make them more easily digested. Score the shell and drop them into a hot frying pan to blanch, when blanched remove the shell and thin brown skin and the nut is ready for various uses. Cooked until tender, mashed and seasoned with fat which it lacks, salted and peppered, it may be served as a vegetable with steak. Chestnut Cakes.—Shell and blanch some good chestnuts, then cook in boiling salted water until tender. Rub them through a sieve and to every half cupful add the yolk of an egg, salt, white pepper, celery salt, and onion juice and Worcestershire sauce, to season highly. Make into neat cakes, brush with beaten egg, roll in fine crumbs, and fry in smoking hot fat. Serve as meat. Mock Mashed Potatoes.—Cook a pound of chestnuts for a quarter of an hour, peel and skin them, and cook in a quart of milk until very soft. Add two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of sugar, and a teaspoonful of salt. Rub through a sieve and serve the same as mashed potatoes. This makes a nice vegetable to serve with chicken, and it has the additional advantage that it can be eaten by those to whom potatoes are denied. Deviled Chestnuts.—Blanch the nuts, then put them with a little olive oil into a hot frying pan, and salt and cayenne pepper and serve either hot or cold. Chestnuts cooked until tender, then mashed and seasoned with a well-seasoned stock in which the nuts were cooked, makes a most acceptable vegetable dish. Have you noticed that the women who have system in their work almost invariably appear to have the least to do? FOR THE INVALID'S TRAY. For the whimsical palate of an invalid a dainty is more acceptable, whatever it may be, it served in some unusual form. For the busy housewife who has but one pair of hands to perform all duties, time is a most valuable asset, and she has little for frills. However a few minutes spent in garnishing and arranging a dish will make all the served in some unusual form. For the busy housewife who has but one pair of hands to perform all duties, time is a most valuable asset, and she has little for frills. However a few minutes spent in garnishing and arranging a dish will make all the difference between receiving and eating it with anticipation, or refusing it altogether. So many fetching things may be done with ordinary things in the home, for example, a whole set of dishes may be made from a few lemons. Cut the lemon that has a good projection for a spout into a cream pitcher, cut a ring of rind for the handle, scoop out the pulp and volla! a pitcher, not for cream, but for various jellies. Cut a lemon the other way across, put on two little handles and have a sugar bowl, the half of a lemon a little smaller with one handle will be a cup. Pigs, using toothpicks for legs, may be made, eyes of black pins, delighting the heart of a child. With dates and figs, turtles, with peanuts various figures, even a whole man may be made by using toothpicks and cork. Fruit Cream.-Beat the white of an egg, two tablespoons of sugar, and half a glass of grape jelly until it is stiff enough to stand. Serve in sherbet cups with a bit of whipped cream on top. Rice Cream.—Blend a tablespoonful of rice flour with cold milk, add it to a pint of sealing milk, a pinch of salt and three tablespoonfuls of sugar, cook until well done. Pour out into a pretty dish and serve with cream and more sugar if desired. An egg dropped into a ramekin with a tablespoonful of cream, set in the oven in water and baked just long enough to set the egg, is delicous when seasoned with a dash of salt and paprika. In all homes there are some choice bits of china, glass and silver, which will be used to advantage on the invalid's tray. Colored foods, like jellies and gelatin desserts look well in glass. For the child a little thing to divert the mind while eating will often lead to his eating a good meal, without realizing that he is being forced to do it. Nellie Maxwell U.S. SENDS OUT DRAFT CALL TO 9,000,000 MEN All Registrants Required to Fill Out Questionnaire Classifying Order of Call. INVENTORY OF MAN POWER Five Divisions to Be Formed Depending on Occupation and Claims for Exemption Allowed—Local Boards Will Help Registered Men. Washington, Nov. 16.—Uncle Sam has begun the most gigantic inventory of man power ever attempted. Preparations for the second draft were started when copies of the questionnaire for every one of the nine million men registered for military service were sent to the local exemption boards. This questionnaire must be filled out by every registered man between the ages of twenty-one and thirty-one. It will place in the hands of the government the life history of every registered man and will give a complete census of the men of military age in 87 trades, industries and professions. The questionnaire will classify all registered men for service. Classification of registered men in the order of their liability for military service will be the first accomplishment of the questionnaire. Men will be classified in five divisions, the first division to be called the first and the fifth division last. The classes and the order in which they will be called are as follows: CLASS 1. Single men without dependent relatives. Married man, with or without children, or father of motherless children, who has habitually failed to support his family. Married man dependent on wife for support. Married man, with or without children, or father of motherless children; man not usefully engaged, family supported by income independent of his labor. Unskilled farm lborer. Unskilled industrial laborer. Registrant by or in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made. Registrant who fails to submit questionnaire and in respect of whom no deferred classification is claimed or made. All registrants not included in any other division in this schedule. Married man with children or father of motherless children where such wife or children or such motherless children are not mainly dependent upon his labor for support for the reason that there are other reasonably certain sources of adequate support (excluding earnings or possible earnings from the labor of the wife) available, and that the removal of the registrant will not deprive such dependent of support. Married man, without children, whose wife, although the registrant is engaged in a useful occupation, is not mainly dependent upon his labor for support, for the reason that the wife is skilled in some special class of work which she is physically able to perform and in which she is employed, or in which there is an immediate opening for her under conditions that will enable her to support herself decently and without suffering or hardship. Necessary skilled farm laborer in necessary agricultural enterprise. Necessary skilled industrial laborer in necessary industrial enterprise. CLASS 3. Man with dependent children (not his own), but toward whom he stands in relation of parent. Man with dependent aged or infirm parents. Man with dependent helpless brothers or sisters. County or municipal officer. Highly trained fireman or policeman, at least three years in service of municipality. Necessary customhouse clerk. Necessary employee of United States in transmission of the mails. Necessary artificer or workman in United States armory or arsenal. Necessary employee in service of United States. Necessary assistant, associate or hired manager of necessary agricultural enterprise. Necessary highly specialized technical or mechanical expert of necessary industrial enterprise. Necessary assistant or associate manager of necessary industrial enterprise. CLASS 4. Man whose wife or children are mainly dependent on his labor for support. Mariner actually employed in sea service of citizen or merchant in the United States. Necessary sole managing, controlling or directing head of necessary agricultural enterprise. Necessary sole managing, controlling or directing head of necessary industrial enterprise. CLASS 5. Officers—legislative, executive or judicial—of the United States or of state, territory or District of Columbia. Regular or duly ordained minister of religion. Student who on May 18, 1917, was preparing for ministry in recognized school. Persons in military or naval service of United States. Allen enemy. Resident alien (not an enemy) who claims exemption. Person totally and permanently physically or mentally unit for military service. Person morally unfit to be a soldier of the United States. Licensed pilot actually employed in the pursuit of his vocation. Member of well organized religious sect or organization, organized and existing on May 18, 1917, whose then existing creed or principles forbids its members to participate in war in any form, and whose religious convictions are against war or participation therein. Boards to Aid Registrants. To aid the registrants in filling out these questionnaires and determining their classification legal advisory boards have been provided for each local exemption district. Disinterested lawyers have been taken into service to aid in the general administration of the law. All exemptions made prior to this time or revoked. Every man not in the military service must fill out a questionnaire, and the merits of his case will be decided upon again. Any person failing to fill out a questionnaire is automatically placed in Class 1 and liable for immediate duty. Following the classification comes a series of general questions. There then follow eleven other series of questions which fit particular cases ranging from the man who claims physical disability to questions asked of men seeking exemption because they are divinity students. The general questions establish a most intimate knowledge of the personal characteristics of the registrant. He must state every occupation at which he has worked during the past ten years, giving not only the name of the occupation, but the number of hours worked each week and a statement of his education. In these questions the registrant is given the privilege of stating his preference of service, and may state whether he is willing to attend a night school fitting him for service prior to being called into camp. There then follows a list of 87 trades and professions, and the registrant is given space to indicate which he has worked in and for how long a period. Occupational List.

Many Questions Asked. Persons claiming exemption on the ground of being aliens are asked to give the date of their birth, their birthplace, the time of their entrance to this country, the name of the vessel upon which they entered and their companions. They are also asked, "Are you willing to return to your native country and enter its military service?" Claimants for exemption on grounds of dependency must answer a series of thirty-one questions, supported by affidavits of the dependents. These questions are most intimate, seeking a declaration of the exact amount of money contributed to the support of the dependent each month. Each registrant must also declare the amount of his income for the past twelve months and the amount of his property, real and personal. If a registrant owns a house he must state whether he rents it and if so how much rent he receives. Encumbrances upon property must be declared, as well as the amount of taxes paid in the past year. "Has your wife ever been employed?" is one question asked. "Is your wife trained or skilled in any calling?" "Do you or your wife live with her parents?" SOME WOODS HAVE HIGH FUEL VALUES Two Pounds, as a Rule, Are Required to Equal One Pound of Coal. HEAT DEPENDS ON WEIGHT Figured on This Basis There Is Little Difference Between Various Species, Say Uncle Sam's Experts. Persons who plan to relieve the coal shortage by burning wood can figure, roughly speaking, that two pounds of seasoned wood have a fuel value equal to one pound of coal, according to experts of Uncle Sam's forest service. While different kinds of wood have different fuel values, the foresters say that in general the greater the dry weight of a non-resinous wood, the more heat it will glvs out when burned. For such species as hickory, oak, beech, birch, hard maple, ash, locust, longleaf pine or cherry, which have comparatively high fuel values, one cord, weighing about 4,000 pounds, is required to equal one ton of coal. It takes a cord and a half of short-leaf pine, hemlock, red gum, Douglas fir, sycamore, or soft maple, which weighs about 3,000 pounds a cord, to equal a ton of coal, while for cedar, redwood, poplar, catalpa, Norway pine, cypress, basswood, spruce, and white pine, two cords, weighing about 2,000 pounds each, are required. Weight for weight, however, there is very little difference between various species. Resin affords about twice as much heat as wood, so that resinous woods have a greater heat value per pound than non-resinous woods, and this increased value varies, of course, with the resin content. Value Depends on Moisture. The available heat value of a cord of wood depends also on the amount of moisture present. When the wood is green part of the heat which it is capable of yielding is taken up in evaporating the water. The greater amount of water in the wood the more heat is lost. Furthermore, cords vary as to the amount of solid wood they contain, even when they are of the standard dimension and occupy 128 cubic feet of space. A certain proportion of this space is made up of air spaces between the sticks, and this air space may be considerable in a cord of twisted, crooked and knotty sticks. Out of the 128 cubic feet, a fair average of solid wood is about 80 cubic feet. This, however, applies to the standard cord, in which the sticks are cut to 4-foot lengths and piled 4 feet high and 8 feet long. Instead of buying the 4-foot lengths, however, most people nowadays have the sticks cut into 2-foot lengths by a gasoline saw. This results in a saving of both time and labor. The purchaser should, however, take care to see that he gets full measurement when wood is bought in this way. In parts of New England a stock of 16-inch wood 4 feet high and 8 feet long is commonly sold as a "run," but contains only one-third of a cord. Where wood is to be burned in a stove or furnace intended for coal, it will be found desirable, the foresters say, to cover the grate partly with sheet iron or fire brick, in order to reduce the draught. If this is not done the wood is wasted by being consumed too fast, and makes a very hot fire which in a furnace may damage the firebox. Other Factors to Be Considered. It is pointed out, however, that heat value is not the only test of usefulness in fuel wood and since 95 per cent of all wood used for fuel is consumed for domestic purposes, largely in farm houses, such as rapidity of burning and ease of lighting are important. Each section of the country has its favored woods and these are said to be, in general, the right ones to use. Hickory, of the non-resinous woods, has the highest fuel value per unit volume of wood, and has other advantages. It burns evenly, and, as housewives say, holds the heat. The oaks come next, followed by beech, birch and maple. The white pines have a relatively low heat value per unit volume, but have other advantages. They ignite readily and give out a quick hot flame, but one that soon dies down. This makes them favorites with rural housekeepers as a summer wood, because they are particularly adapted 'or hot days in the kitchen. The same is true of gray birch, or "white birch," as it is often called, in the regions in which it abounds. With the resinous pines a drawback is their oily black smoke. To Promote Business Training. To Promote Business Training. Dr. Glen Levin Swiggett, formerly of the University of Tennessee and more recently assistant secretary general of the second Pan-American Scientific congress, has been appointed specialist in commercial education in Uncle Sam's bureau of education. In this new work the bureau proposes to investigate local, state and national educational opportunities for business training, to recommend courses of study and to co-operate through advice and counsel in the establishment of the proper relations between opportunity for training and the needs of business. "Soldiers of Sea" Form Independent Branch of Service. Furnish First Line of Mobile Defense for Naval Stations and Bases Outside of United States. The exact status of Uncle Sam's "soldier of the sea," as the Marine corps has been designated, is not altogether clear to many people. The marines are an independent branch of the military service of the United States, generally serving under the direction of the secretary of the navy. They protect government property at naval stations at home and furnish the first line of the mobile defense of naval bases and naval stations beyond the limits of the United States. They guard American lives and interests abroad and they are used as expeditionary forces and for advance base duty. The marines go with the warships, do guard duty on board and act as landing parties ashore. It is quite possible that, owing to the active part the marines are taking in the present war, their status will be somewhat changed. The Marine corps was first called into existence by the act of the continental congress of November 10 1775, and served throughout the Revolutionary war. It was disbanded at the close of the war, but was reorganized and permanently established July 11, 1798. It has participated in every expedition and action in which the navy has engaged and has co-operated in campaigns with the army. Until recently the organized strength of the marines was 17,400 men, but in the present emergency a large increase has been made. An applicant for enlistment in the Marine corps must be an American citizen between twenty and thirty-five years of age and must read, write and understand English. He must be single and without dependent relatives, and must be of good moral character and excellent health. When a recruit is enrolled he is put on probation and sent to one of the many training stations. Here he must undergo another examination, and if found satisfactory he is sworn into the service. If unsatisfactory he is returned to his home at the government's expense. The marine's pay is practically clear, as his expenses are few, and his savings may be deposited with the paymaster. Upon the death of any enlisted man from wounds or sickness not due to his own misconduct there will be paid to the widow, children or dependent relatives previously designated by him an amount equal to six months' pay. Advancement in the Marine corps, especially at this time, is comparatively rapid, since vacancies occur constantly in the non-commissioned grades. Non-commissioned officers may be promoted to the warrant rank with pay varying from $1,125 to $2,500 a year. Men are also selected by competitive examination for training for commissions at the Naval academy, and at this time special arrangements have been made to enable men of the rank to receive regular commissions in proportion to their ability. Horse Driven From One of Last Strongholds The horse has lost another trench. It has been driven from one of its last strongholds—the Yosemite National park. Heretofore motorcycles have not been admitted to the park, because the park roads have been in use by horse-drawn vehicles and because some of the grades on the roads have been considered too steep and dangerous for motorcycle traffic. During the 1917 season, however, there was practically no travel in the park by horse-drawn vehicles. The roads have been improved until now there are none that are not safe for travel in any kind of conveyance. Secretary of the Interior Lane, therefore, has issued an order that hereafter motorcycles shall be admitted to the park. FROST-PROOF CORN SOUGHT Uncle Sam's Experts Endeavoring to Develop Variety That Will Withstand Low Temperatures. Investigators for Uncle Sam's department of agriculture are in a fair way of developing a variety of corn that will withstand frost and will grow at low temperatures. In fact, they have already achieved results along this line, and if their efforts prove wholly successful, the outcome will be to increase greatly the amount of this grain raised by extending the corn belt. The investigators for the government planted a special variety of corn in February, 1917, and found that plants which were several inches high withstood a drop in temperature, on March 5, that froze the ground to a depth of two inches. Of even more importance is the fact that some of the individual plants continued to grow during periods of low temperature when ordinary corn would have been at a standstill. Experimentation continues, however, as success cannot be considered assured as yet. Western Beef Co. Open Daily to 8:30 p. m.

However, it does not follow that we are wholly or even seriously deficient in appreciation because of failure to be continually openly acknowledging indebtedness for a multitude of blessings. An individual too quick or too profuse in expressions of thanks runs the risk of being regarded with a bit of suspicion. In its inner tabernacle the humble soul may daily sing praises for a continuance of blessings and by a predominance of such thoughts develop a beauty and richness which will thrill and inspire when occasion demands that it should be heard. The nobility of our thoughts and not the multitude of our words determines our character. Thanksgiving is more a matter of attitude than of speaking. It is spiritual. This does not mean that we should be dumb in the presence of an abundance of good things showered upon us by Providence and by friends. Out of the abundance of a grateful heart the mouth should speak. A virtue well developed cannot be stifled—true character speaks through every act, when words are scant. Thanksgiving should be a daily devotion, unmarred by mockery or insincerity. Such devotion was more predominant among our pious New England forebears than with us today. Comparatively scant as were their blessings and grievous as were their privations, they sincerely professed to find much occasion for daily thanksgiving. Even with these devotions a day of special thanksgiving and praise was deemed meet. And thus was born the beautiful custom of our annual Thanksgiving. SIMPLE RECORD OF FIRST THANKSGIVING SIMPLE RECORD OF FIRST THANKSGIVING When the Devout Pilgrims Showed Their Gratitude for Their Blessings. "OUR harvest being gotten in, our governor [William Bradford] sent four men on foul- ing, so that we might after a more special manner rejoice together after we had gathered the fruit of our labors. They four in one day killed as much foule as, with a little help beside, served the company almost a weeke. At which time, amongst other recreation, we exercised our arms, many of the Indians coming amongst us, and among the rest their greatest king, Massasoit, with some ninety men, whom for three days we entertained and feasted, and they went out and killed fine deer, which they brought to the plantation and bestowed on our governor and upon the captain [Miles Standish] and others." Such is the historic record of the first Thanksgiving in Plymouth colony 201 years ago. Less than a year before the Mayflower, bearing its little band of 102 Pilgrims, anchored off the rockbound New England coast. Alone in the boundless wilderness of the New World the herolic Puritans struggled through the relentless winter, battling with snow and wind, savage foes, hunger, sickness, and death itself. In three months their number was almost one-half of the entire company. But with the spring time life looked more kindly upon the exiles; summer smiled on their corn fields, and autumn brought abundant harvest. A few little dwellings had been built, and preparations had been made for others, making a tiny oasis of homes on the desert of the New World. Then it was that Governor Bradford issued his first proclamation, and the Pilgrims and their Indian guests partook of that first and now historic American feast. CLOSE TO HEARTS OF ALL AMERICANS Particular Reason Why Thanksgiving Day Should Be Generally Celebrated Here. ONE of the oldest and best beloved holidays in the whole year comes to us this week—oldest in our history because the Puritan fathers celebrated it when they did not celebrate Christmas, best beloved because it is a holiday all our own, typically American through and through. Nations all over the world celebrate Christmas, New Years and Easter. Even our Independence day has its echo in the French July 14, but Thanksgiving day is the entire property of the American people, and perhaps this adds the extra luster which makes it a day apart in the heart of every citizen. Its origin was in the farms, where the harvest season was closed with a day set aside for the giving of thanks for the crops just harvested. In reality it is a national harvest festival, but its meaning has come to cover more than just the harvest season alone. Now this holiday is accorded us for the rendition of thanks for the blessings of the entire year. We find that during the Revolution the observance of this day for giving thanks had become so general that congress recommended each year a Thanksgiving day. This was an annual occurrence until the end of the war, when a day was set aside in 1784, for rendering thanks for the return of peace. Again in 1789 Washington appointed a day of thanksgiving for the adoption of the Constitution. It was in this year also that the Episcopal church formally recognized the right of the civil government to recommend such a feast day. Sympathy is the only charitable gift of some people. Reasons Why Thanksgiving Is Always Interesting There. town is allus interestin' on account th' folks that come back homes. Some o' us kin git by th' Fourth o' July or fair week or even Christmas an' New Years, but somehow ther's somethin' 'bout Thanksgivin' day that kind o' makes us want t' be back home. Then, too, one nice long dull Thanksgivin' afternoon in a B flat town is enough't make us all satisfied t' stay away fer another whole year. Our town looks real cosmopolitan like t'day, as Tell Binkley would say. On ever' corner you kin see little clumps o' o fellers that haint met in years holdin' reunions an' talkin' about ole times. Some o' o 'em look like they had lots t' be thankful fer an' some o' 'em look like th' place they come from ought t' be thankful, while still others look like our town ought t' be thankful that Thanksgivin' only comes once a year. Sam Bud, who traded his farm here fer a Florida orange grove some years ago came in from th' north this morn- Laurel Spray, From the West, Is in Town Wearing a Straw Hat. in'. He says this is th' first time that he's ever had clothes an' money enough at th' same time t' git back. Hallie Mopps, who's been gone about ten years, is home from Coshocton, Ohio. He says he's lied so long about th' size o' his father's farm here that he hardly recognized it when he got back. Grayson Mapes wuz about th' first feller that showed up fer Thanksgiving. His folks have been dead fer thirty years an' he never knew it. 'Bout th' last thing anybuddy ever heerd o' him wuz in 1876, when he sent his mother a Centennial edition o' th' Philadelphy Ledger. He come over from Jeffersonville on parole but nobody knew him. Joe Apple is back in town shakin' hands, too. His whiskers have been driven back an' his step haint quite as springy as it wuz before he traded his hardware store for some rice land in Arkansas. He's jist a plain shoveler now somewhere's in Michigan. He says that while th' work is a little harder than bein' in business, ther haint no books t' keep an' ther haint nothin' invested an' you kin lay off when it rains. Laurel Spray, who sold his farm here two years ago an' invested in a gold mine out West, is in town wearin' a straw hat. He says he's been so busy gittin' home that th' weather never occurred t' him. He may stay here an' go back in th' band if he kn trade his minin' stock fer a clarinet. But ups an' downs er no ups an' downs, a feller is still purty rich that's got a good mother an' father t' go back to. Ther haint no mashed p'tatoes an' roast turkey an' minced pie anywhere else on earth that kin touch your mother's. Her coffee is generally purty bad, but we won't say anything about that. I don't care how any feller is gittin' along, whether he's single or tied down, he feels a whole lot better if he knows he's got an ole home t' go back to. O' course your father haint as gushy as mother—but even if you did leave th' farm jest at a time when he needed you th' most, he's proud o' you. Jest as long as you don't ask father fer any money, either directly er thro' mother, he's proud o' you. But mother is th' one. She believes ever't thing you tell her. She knows you have t' hurry, away an' that where you've been workin' has had t' close down till you git back. You're her boy an' things can't git along without you. (Copyright, Adams Newspaper Service.) Universal Thanksgiving. Universal Thanksgiving. Some call November the dreary month of the year, the black sheep of the 12; and yet it is the month of thankfulness, the completion of the fruiture of the year. In the woods the squirrels are industriously at work among their last gleanings before cold weather sets in, their happy "cheecheeee" joining with the calls of the blue jays and crows and smaller birds in the universal paean of thanksgiving. In the underbrush and in the meadows the mice, too, are harvesting, with their hearts full of gladness. Bees are buzzing over goldenrod and wild asters and other late flowers; the quail that have escaped the hunter are like Ruth, gathering the last grains in the farmer's fields; while the farmer himself and his boys are loading the golden pumpkins into the big farm wagons to carry away for winter storage for use by both the family and the cattle. TO SEND IN TAX LISTS EMPLOYERS URGED TO REPORT TO COLLECTOR PROMPTLY. New Revenue Law Requires That Statements Be Made of Fixed Salaries Paid. Denver.—In the new revenue measure recently passed by Congress amending the income tax law there is incorporated a provision which is of special interest to individuals, partnerships and corporations making fixed annual payments of salaries, interest or rent of $800 or more to another person, partnership or corporation. This is known as "information at the source," and the law requires such person or corporation to render a true and accurate return of all such payments and provides severe penalties for failure to make such return. This information is required for the calendar year 1917 and subsequent years. Any person coming under the provision of this law requiring information returns should apply to the collector of internal revenue for proper blanks and the same will be forwarded as soon as the blanks are received from Washington. The new law requires an income tax return from a single person having a net income in excess of $1,000 or a married person having a net income in excess of $2,000. The law no longer requires withholding of the tax at the source except in the case of bonds guaranteed free of tax and in the case of non-resident alien individuals and corporations not having an office in this country. Thirty-four Counties Exceed Quota. Thirty-four Counties Exceed Quota. Of the more than $300,000 subscribed for the Y. M. C. A. fund $178,246 was raised outside of Denver. Included in this amount is $20,000 subscribed by students of the various educational institutions of the state and $15,000 subscribed by Colorado high school boys. Thirty-four counties in the state have oversubscribed their apportionments. A partial list of Colorado counties and the amount of their subscriptions follow: El Paso, $28,800; Otero, $65,000; Las Animas, $14,000; Weld, $15,116; Larimer, $15,003; Boulder, $15,082; Pueblo, $18,565; Fremont, $11,008; Morgan, $5,317; Logan, $6,001; Douglas, $2,531; Mesa, $4,500; Lake, $3,000; Routt, $1,650, and Yuma, $1,700. Secretary Issues 68,000 Auto Licenses. Secretary of State James R. Noland is "up against it." He ran out of automobile license plates, notwithstanding the fact that he had ordered an additional 18,000 plates when it became apparent early in the year that the 50,000 plates ordered by his predecessor in office would not nearly supply the demand. Exhaustion of the tag supply means that there now are more than 68,000 machines in use. Unable to obtain an additional supply of license plates from the factory, Noland, in order to accommodate automobilists, has been compelled to reissue plates turned in by owners who have sold their cars to purchasers of new cars. Keep the Cars Moving. The refrigerator car companies and the railroads are complaining that some shippers are abusing their diversion privileges by holding refrigerator cars an undue length of time at Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Denver. W. H. Kerr, chairman of the committee on markets of the Colorado Council of Defense, has sent out a circular letter asking shippers as a patriotic duty not to hold cars longer than necessary. Use Rabbits on Meatless Days. A report of Mrs. Alfred E. Parker, chairman of the Cheyenne county women's advisory council, that jackrabbits in the county have become a pest and are destroying crops, has been sent by Mrs. W. H. Kistler, chairman of the women's advisory council, to the governor, to the State Agricultural College with a request for information as to methods of destroying the rabbits. Former Doorkeeper Thompson Dead. News of the death of W. J. Thompson at Castle Rock was received in Denver. Mr. Thompson for several years was doorkeeper of both the Senate and House of Representatives of the Colorado Legislature. He came to Colorado in 1859, engaging in mining and later in farming. At the age of 50 years he was injured in an accident that left him a cripple. Guardsmen Have $10 Apiece Due. There are thirty-five $10 gold pieces for thirty-five members of the Colorado National Guard, whose whereabouts are unknown. This money was voted to the guard by the Legislature and State Treasurer Higgins is at a loss as to how to dispose of it. The men have been discharged, resigned or transferred to some other branch of the army. Good Surplus of Potatoes. Colorado will have a good suprus of potatoes over last year's crop, despite the amount frozen because of the transportation shortage and lack of storage facilities. W. H. Kerr, chairman of the committee on markets of the Colorado Council of Defense, points out that Colorado's increase in potato production this year is 2,250,000 bushels and that the amount lost is only a small part of this increase. The state's total production is 9,150,000 bushels, according to the U. S.

Denver, Colorado Fads And Fancies Of Fashion Dainty Gift Aprons. For the holidays there are some things that are always the order of the day, certain gifts that bloom perennially, like the evergreens and holly that crown the glory of the passing year at Christmas time. Among them aprons of pretty material, small enough to be dainty, that are made for serving and sewing. The serving aprons do more than dress up the morning or afternoon frock in which the hostess or her aids, serve her guests, for they express a pleasure in serving. The little sewing aprons are a convenience and a protection. Their prettiness makes them a joy. The shops are showing many of these little belongings for home wear this year. They are made of all the fine, sheer cotton goods that are used for lingerie or midsummer dresses, that will stand laundering and occasionally a quantitin in apron in skin leads the mind back to those yesterday when they were prized possessions of our great grandmothers. But the modern woman seems to want everything made of washable stuffs. A sewing apron made of printed dotted swiss figured with prim little roses and leaves is shown at the left of the picture and a serving apron of organdie and val lace appears at the right. Figured volle would do as Copyright Imperial & Goodwin LAPRITA JOURNAL & BOOKWAR "In Time," Dress of Satin. It appears that a new name was needed for a garment that is not exactly a negligee, but is made strictly for indoor wear, on classic or oriental lines. Casting about for something to fit this new offspring of the designer's brain, failed to reveal a word to suit and so two were chosen in a phrase that is very matter of fact. The "in time" dress is the best we have been able to do in describing a robe that is at once easy and dignified and intended to be worn by the busy woman of today during such time as she is in her home. It is, in fact, something between a tea gown and a lounging robe, and makes opportunity for long flowing lines, drapery and picturesque effects that women love. If you decide upon an "in time" dress you may borrow its style from what land you will—Turkish trousers, or Japanese robes, or Greek draperies, or what you will. All colors are yours to command, but the "in time" dress is not to be fussy. In the picture a very excellent example of this new claimant for favor well for the serving apron, or lawn or mull, although voile has the best wearing qualities. The apron is the simplest thing imaginable to make, being merely a straight piece of the goods with a hem run in across one end of the waistband, with a similar strip half as long set on at the bottom for a pocket. Narrow, gay-colored satin ribbon is run through the hem at the waistline, leaving long ends to tie at the side and allowing the material to be gathered into a little fullness. Ribbon run through the top of the pocket is finished at the sides with loops and ends, or sometimes with rosettes. The pocket will accommodate the sewing and the tools for sewing, so that this is a convenient apron for use with the sewing circle as well as at home. The tea, or serving apron, is bordered with a narrow insertion in a cluny pattern and edged with val lace edging. A val lace insertion set into the material, simulates a true-lovers' knot. The band and ties are of the organdle or whatever material is used, finished with very narrow hems along the sides and a deeper hem across the ends. They tie in the back. A small ribbon bow in some light shade or a flowerlike rosette sets off the daintiness of the apron and is used at one corner or the pocket—if there is one, A is shown. It is made of sapphire-blue satin and bordered with a stenciled pattern in several colors. Wide figured or brocaded ribbon might be substituted for stenciling and set onto the body of the dress with pipings of satin. The style suggests classic Greek draperies, but follows them so vaguely the new dress cannot be identified as Grecian. In the same model long full sleeves of crepe georgette might be introduced without appearing incongruous. Just whether the "in time" dress has been made to meet a demand or to make a demand for it only time car tell, but chances are in its favor. Wom, en of taste who are dressed in quiet street clothes much of the time, like the picturesque in house gowns, and always there is an increasing call for individuality in styles and clever originality in details of construction and finish. --- Julia Bottomley Smoke Submarine, Ford, Judge Good, Kaiserhoff or El Omica Cigars CHARLES LAMB PHONE SOUTH 4405 W. 308 KITTREDGE BUILDING DENVER, COLORADO A RACE ENTERPRISE A 33rd Street and Wabash Avenue CHICAGO ILL.
