Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute after having been for twenty-five years associated with Hampton Institute.) VOL. XXIV. THE AMER AND THE How the Negro Is P Officers and Neg the N (Major Moton succeeded Dr. Booker T five THERE have been so many marvelous and unexpected changes. In the mental attitude of stronger groups toward weaker ones, and so many efforts to bring about universal democracy, that the Negro is the superior. Negro himself has experienced much more of a genuinely friendly attitude toward himself from the white race. He has also found so many more doors open to him than hitherto, until he sometimes wonders what it all means. Many sincere people had, just prior to, as well as at the beginning of the war, wondered whether the Negro, because of the many limitations which, as a race, he experienced in this country and the protests which he frequently uttered, would allow himself to become identified with the disloyal elements of this country and fall an easy prey to German propagandists. Others wondered whether Negro leaders would unconsciously or willfully encourage their people to assume an indifferent if not wholly hostile attitude toward the country. But educated and patriotic Negroes knew that these anxious qualms were due rather to lack of knowledge and understanding of Negroes. As a matter of fact, without advice or counsel from any organized body, official or otherwise, the educated Negroes, professional and business men and educators generally, showed themselves as loyal and patriotic as any other Americans, and not only counsel their people to be loyal, but urged them to avoid loose expressions even in jest which might lead others to misunderstand. Not only so, but they urged their people to raise food, to buy Liberty Bonds, to respond to every other demand of the Government and to serve along any lines that would help in the struggle that was being waged for humanity. Negroes, as other citizens, responded with enthusiasm that is now proverbial. One Negro fraternal organization, the Mosaic Templars of Arkansas, purchased $80,000 worth of Liberty Bonds, and throughout the South more foodstuffs were raised by Negroes than ever before in their history. In the appeal from the Food Administration for conservation or saving of these food products for man and beast there was a response such as has never before been witnessed. It is reported by families who employ Negro domestic servants that they have never known their cooks to be more thoughtful and economical than at present. Chancellor D. C. Barrow of the University of Georgia, reported that the Negro cook who had been in his family for a great many years, and who was inclined at first to take the matter of saving as a joke, had come to the point where she was preparing and serving the family dainty, appetizing, nutritious meals from the leftovers and took great delight in so doing. This is the opinion of scores of other people with whom I have talked regarding this matter. Negroes in their own homes, from the lowliest cabin to the best Negro residence, are vying with their white neighbors and their country in helping our government in this struggle, by saving food, and practising every 'economy. Percentage of Negro Volunteers. It is notorious that, when President Wilson asked for 70,000 volunteers, in many cities the Negro volunteers were out of proportion to their percentage of the population. Investigation in three cities has shown that these Negro volunteers were not doing so in a By ROBERT RUSSA MOTON thoughtless, adventurous way, for many of them had jobs and reasonably comfortable homes, but they felt it their patriotic duty to offer their services to their country. In several cities where Negroes volunteered for the Navy, they were frankly and abruptly told that Negroes were only wanted for the mess departments. Many of these same men went from the navy recruiting station to the army and volunteered, their services where they could be assigned to direct combative service. When the War Department, as a result of the earnest and persistent efforts on the part of colored people and their white friends, opened a camp for the training of Negro officers at Des Moines, Iowa, and asked for 1,200 Negroes to offer their services for training, notwithstanding the fact that it was less than 30 days, the required number reported for three months' training. Out of the number that took the training, 625 received commissions. Some people have ventured the suggestions that this present crisis is an opportune time for the Negro to demand "his rights," but subsequent developments have shown that the Negro, while clearly conscious of what he considers his rights, has been most earnest and persistent in his efforts to be granted the chance to do his duty by his country. The leaders have felt that that was sufficient for the present. Just now the important thing is the opportunity to serve in the great struggle for democracy. A Negro Division. Maj. Thomas B. Spencer, who is on the staff of Gen. C. C. Ballou, of the 92d division, a division to be composed of Negroes, has been making a tour of Negro schools and colleges of the country with a view of selecting four or five hundred men for a particular branch in this division. At every school visited he has been asking for men who were below the draft age. He has received a most hearty response in volunteers from practically every school to which he had gone. At Tuskegee Institute thirty of the upper-class men with whom he talked offered their services and left within 48 hours for Chillicothe, Ohio, where they are now being trained. About one hundred Negro soldiers are under arms at the present time, as follows: These troops are divided among many states and many regiments. They are in the infantry, the cavalry, and in condenderable numbers in the National Guard, not only in southern states but also in northern and western states. In many instances their officers are men of their own race, but white officers assigned to Negro regiments are almost invariably pleased with their men, and convinced that they are excellent material of which to make soldiers. The Negro is ordinarily proud of his uniform, falls readily into the discipline so necessary to military proficiency, and when occasion demands, he is faithful to his trust even against overwhelming odds. He is of the stuff from which good soldiers are made, and properly officered he becomes a soldier in the best meaning of the word. About 75,000 Negro men were called in the first draft, making, as stated, a total of about 100,000 men. This, however, is not the largest number of Negro-soldiers who have been under arms, for in the Civil war 178,000 black men bore arms on the Union side. Including those who were commissioned at the officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, those who were al- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 11 1918 State Hist. & Nat Hist No. State House ABLE Negro Paper ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SAN NEGRO OLD'S WAR in the Army—Negro Point of View of Crisis Institute after having been for twenty- ready officers in the four regiments and companies, there are now about 1,000 Negro officers in the United States army. The Attitude of the Negro Soldier. But all of the foregoing is wholly physical. One naturally asks what is the inner feeling of these men. How do they feel about the whole thing? I have talked with many of the rank and file of negro draftees and volunteers as well as of state guards. I talked to one group of a half dozen Negro soldiers in Atlanta, who were at Camp Gordon, I put the question something like this: "I suppose you feel proud to wear the uniform of your country." "Yes," said one. "Do you like the army life." Do you like "Not very well. We have not been fitted out yet with all of our equipment. I reckon we'll like it better when we git more used to it." "Would you rather be home?" "In some ways, yes. We would like to be home with the old folks and with our friends, but I don't b'lieve we colored folks will ever git a chance again like this to serve our country, so for our own race and our country, we feel it's our duty to go." I talked with men also at Camp Meade, in Petersburg, Virginia, and from the two camps at Newport News—Stuart and Hill. These gave similar answers, the language sometimes crude, but all expressing the same loyal spirit. A colored man who was made a captain at Des Moines leaves an aged mother to care for four children, his wife having died a few years ago. "I could probably resign in view of home conditions, but my country is first. I have made ample provisions by insurance, etc., for my mother and children so far as I am able. I feel my country needs me, and I must help my government in the training of these untrained colored soldiers as well as leading them to battle for the protection of our own flag," this man told me. I got a similar expression from a very prominent Negro lawyer and physician, now an officer in the Ohio National Guard. Thousands of black mothers and wives and sisters, to say nothing of fathers, have wept as these men have left home, and very few, if any, have raised a voice in protest on account of the past unfairness which the Negro has had to undergo. Mr. Gompers' Opinion. Mr. Samuel Gompers, of the American Federation of Labor, expresses what in my opinion is not only the Negro's sentiment throughout the country but what is becoming the true American sentiment, when he says: "What will come out of the war for labor. In a word, emancipation from every vestige of wrong and injustice. Out of this war the men of labor of the democracies of the world will come, standing upright; no longer like men with the hoe. There is a new concept among mankind—the question 'Am I my brother's keeper' this war and the democracies of the world are going to answer in the affirmative. If I have ready history right there has never been any great struggle in the history of the word that has not had its baptism in blood. And the great cause of human liberty and justice is being baptized in human blood; and the spirit of freedom, of human justice, of human brotherhood, will triumph here, as in Europe. I ask you to believe in the loyalty of the great mass of the people who toil." And Secretary Daniels, a Southerner, expresses the same democratic idea with equal force, when he says: "We have done more for democracy in six months of war than in six years of peace. Our soldiers who come back from France aren't going to be anything but men. For in this war we are establishing a new spirit of universal equality and brotherhood. Too long has America been enslaved, too long has caste been enthroned. Kings will be relics, thrones will be museums, here and abroad." No finer tribute has been paid the Negro soldier than by Col. James A. Moss, who recently said: "Understanding the Negro as I do, and knowing his responsibilities as a soldier. I consider myself fortunate in having been assigned to the command of a colored regiment. Of my twenty-three years' experience as an officer, I have spent eighteen with colored troops, having commanded Negro troops in the Cuban campaign, when I was still a minor. I may about the Negro soldier my faith, my confidence in him—is based on long experience with him in garrison and in the field; in peace and in war. The assertion that if properly trained and instructed, the Negro will make as good a soldier as the word has ever seen. The proper training of the Negro is simple problem—it merely consists in treating him like a soldier in a fair and square, way, and in developing the skills necessary to possesses in the form of a happy disposition, pride in the uniform, tractability and faithfulness. Anyone who says that the Negro will not fight, does a course, know what he is talking about. "The first fight I was ever in, the battle of El Caney, Cuba, July 1, 1898. I had Negroes killed and wounded by my company having been killed and wounded in about ten minutes' time, and the behavior of the men was splendid. At no time during that, and in subsequent flights, did I see any regiment to add or decrease or flatter at the order to charge. I expect my colored regiment to be fully as well drilled, as well instructed, as well behaved, and as good fighters, as any other regiment. I don't think that I might think that what I have to say about the Negro soldier is only the fulsome words of a 'Yankee' Negrophile, let me say that, am a native of New York, I don't leave the fines of the state until I want to West Point at the age of 18." The Point of View of Public Men. We have had no finer interpretation of the fundament of democracy from President Wilson, and the appointment of Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, as special assistant to secretary in the ensidary of growth in the Negro race and in its capacity for citizenship. Secretary Baker, in his telegram to the ChicagoColored League to the nation, the Security League said of democracy: "After all, what is this thing we call 'democracy' and about which we heart so much nowadays? Surely it is no new invention, but it demonstrates too much vitality for that. It is no social distinction or privilege of the few, for were it that, and make them willing to die for its establishment. But it is, it seems to me, a hope as wide as the human race, involving men everywhere—a hope that men will be able to ward to a time when not only we, but others, will have respective rights, founded in the generosity of nature, which will adjust its apparent conflicts. Under such a hope nations will do justice to nations, and men to men." RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources Tuskegee, Ala, April 27.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal, announced today that Tuskegee Institute has been selected by the War Department as a training school for Negro technicians. About 400 colored men, including officers, will be selected from the various training camps and sent to Tuskegee on May 15th, and for two months these men will do intensive work in such trades as auto mechanics, carpentry, blacksmithing, etc. This group will be followed by another group until, during the six months following, approximately 1,200 men will have been trained. Cleveland, Ohio, May 3—Elmer J. Cheeks, electrical engineer at the municipal lighting plant, has been appointed assistant inspector of electrical machinery for the United States Navy Department. Mr. Cheeks is thoroughly qualified for the responsible position to which he has been called. He is a graduate of the engineering department of Purdue University. Since graduating he has been employed as engineer at the municipal plant, which has loaned him to the government for this special work. He received his appointment through the recommendation of prominent members of the Cleveland Society of Engineers. His office will be located in the Rockefeller building. Macon, Ga.—Mr. C. H. Douglass, sole owner of the Douglass Theater, cafe, pool room, hotel and barber shop, and prominent in all enterprises, has purchased all told $12,000 of Liberty bonds. Mrs. C. H. Douglass, who is chairman of the woman's committee, has already taken subscriptions for $8,000 and with the extensive drive which has been planned for the week all the towns will be thoroughly canvassed. Mrs. Douglass subscribed $1,000 individually. She deserves much credit and praise for her untiring efforts of patriotism. Each employe of the theater has willingly taken Liberty bonds. Amsterdam, Holland, April 18.—I understand that one of the terms which German extremists say they must impose on America at the conclusion of the war is the annexation to Germany of Liberia. The matter was broached in a secret memorandum presented by a number of colonial experts, including Dr. Alfred Zimmerman, former foreign secretary; Carl Peters and others to Dr. Solf, the colonial secretary. Dr. Solf replied sympathetically but pointed out the great difficulties in the way of such an enterprise. The sending of a submarine to Liberia recently was in connection with this pan-German wish.—Chicago Daily Montgomery, Ala., May 3.—Eugene Ellis, 16-year-old boy, was brutally murdered by J. W. Cunningham (white), a night watchman at a local factory, here Saturday night, April 20. The shooting occurred near the corner of Randolph and Court streets, following the refusal of Ellis to submit to a brutal beating with a club. Ellis was awaiting the arrival of a friend near the scene of the shooting and was ordered to move on, but responded to the demand reluctantly. He made known his mission near the watchman's factory, but was cursed and abused and finally shot down. One bullet struck Ellis in the heart and the other in the face. Following a coroner's inquest by Coroner W. S. Stokes, Cunningham was charged with murder and is being held in the courty jail awaiting action by the grand jury. Washington, D. C., May 3.—A committee of citizens headed by Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, gained an interview with President Wilson here Monday, April 22, for the purpose of obtaining his approval to a loan of $5,000,000 to the Liberian government. The President was told that Liberia, with financial assistance, could furnish large quantities of foodstuffs. The matter was taken under advisement and it is thought will be placed before the congressional body within the course of the next few weeks. Tuskegee, Ala., May 3.—William V. Chambliss, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, class of 1890, and now a successful farmer in this county, has purchased $20,000 worth of the Third Liberty Loan bonds. related and interdependent. The test of our greatness as a nation is not in the accumulation of culture merely. The great test is for the fortunate to reach down and help the less highly favored, the poor, the insecure, even the sick. My race asks no special favors and deserves no special favors. It simply asks an equal chance on equal terms with other Americans, and nothing in the Negro's past record indicates other than that he will give a strict account of his stewardship, Give the Negro race responsibility, and in proportion as he has these race responsibilities placed upon him, in like proportion will his experience broaden and his service in all lines reach a higher level of satisfaction. The social problems of America will never be solved by mobbing or segregating black men in the North, nor by burning or lynching in the South. Injustice and unfairness will never do it. The great Nazarene said: "Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto me." NO 29 Macon, Ga.—Mr. C. H.

Colored troops are being well treated in France, according to E. H. Sothern, the ator, who, in a letter to the New York Times, tells of being entertained by the men and officers of a colored New York regiment "over there." Mr. Sothern says the most cordial relations exist between the colored and white men of the regiment. In his letter to the Times Mr. Sothern writes: "In relation to an article in the Times concerning the treatment of the colored troops in France by their officers, perhaps the testimony of one who has but recently had the good fortune to be entertained by the men and officers of a colored New York infantry regiment may be of value. "Only about six weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Winthrop Ames and I visited the th New York Infantry in France. We spent an afternoon as the guest of the colonel and his officers, and had an opportunity to observe the relationship between the officers and the men. The colonel told us with great pride of the quality of his soldiers, of their splendid record for health and good behavior, of certain prizes he has instituted for cleanliness, smartness of equipment, and discipline. His officers stood about as he talked and their enthusiasm for their men was touchingly evident. This colored regiment is properly proud of a military band of fifty pieces, for which the colonel raised $18,000 among his own friends, and which is largely recruited from professional musicians. "When Mr. Ames and I visited the rest center of Aix-les-Bains the band of the regiment was permitted to take part in the greeting of the troops which arrived day by day and to perform in the theater at night. The band was brought to Aix by a captain, whose pride in his musicians and the affection for him we saw constantly evidenced during the four days we stayed in the same hotel with them. So grateful were we for their splendid services that we had the honor of entertaining these colored soldiers one afternoon and of telling them what we thought of their music and of themselves, and we declared then we would carry home to America a glowing tribute. "This article in the Times which says that the colored troops are abused by their officers would seem to offer the opportunity to say a word, and I would like to bear witness that I have seen with my own eyes a colored regiment happy and proud of their colonel and his staff and they filled with enthusiasm and pride in their men." ```markdown ``` By MEREDITH NICHOLSON Of the Vigilantes.

These homeless, stunned people were a new responsibility to be added to the thousands of wounded men that came steadily from the shambles of the west front. Paris is an old city. It was not ready to take in its neighbors' children. Its population was already a tight fit. So it made the best of its poor hospitality by offering up its garrets. New building construction seemed impossible. Men were scarce. The mechanic was either manning the trenches or fighting the fight in the war factories. Paris was distracted. It is wonderful indeed how nobly Paris tried to meet this condition. And it is remarkable how Paris met it with the aid of our own Red Cross.

We here at home who associate the great Red Cross movement with bandages and white gowned nurses must lose this old illusion in the light of a thousand other works for humanity. In this case we see the Red Cross first as diplomats convincing the civil authorities of Paris as to their ability to remedy the situation, then as architects remodeling buildings, changing building plans, hiring labor gathered by themselves from the ex-soldiery and the older man, all the while working under every imaginable handle, while Father Time cried, "Get it done, get it done." So out of the garrets came these despairing people to find new hope in clean homes, to get new cheer out of sheer bodily comfort and fresh courage to again take up the great trust that France has kept so well—"to carry on."

"The Allies are still hungry and if you can spare a little more flour, for God's sake send it," was the plea made recently by a British officer to an American audience. Who of you, after hearing that heart-breaking cry after realizing the necessity which faces the brave nations of Europe, can help saving wheat? Two definite appeals to us are voiced there. One is to patriotism, the other to common sense. The Allies' cause is our cause. Our men are fighting shoulder to shoulder with their men. If food fails, the fighters must fall. The war must be lost to Liberty. Even the most ignorant among us knows what a German victory would mean, especially to the women and children of the land. Our love of country, our love of our homes, our every instinct of self-preservation must make us do every thing, whether great or small toward victory. FOR OVER TWO YEARS the Tramway has fought the rising tide and high cost, and though its efforts succeeded in making Denver's street car system one of the three most economically managed electric railways in the United States, yet the day of an appeal to our customers for more revenue could only be postponed. Friday, May 3rd, Denver's street railway lines appealed to the people through the Utilities Commission for help in keeping up good service to the public, paying wages to employes and fair interest to the investors. The other appeal is that of humanity. Who can refuse to deny himself because of his greediness, his love of his own food habits, when that thought—the thought of the Allies' suffering—comes to us? Can any one with either sense or sensibility keep on eating wheat products in the present need? Does it not throw hugan weakness into an ominous German shadow to insist upon having food requiring white flour? Won't you—all you red-blooded willing American citizens let that British officer's cry for the Allies sound in your ears: "If you can spare a little more flour, for God's sake send it?" The facts and figures in the Tramway's statement of the necessity for relief are being fully given to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission, are easily verified and will be verified. Considering the case on its merits, it is inconceivable that the Utilities Commission should not grant relief to Denver's street railway. If it should refuse, us folks who depend on street car service for transportation around town would have occasion to be uneasy. "POTATO WEEK" BOOSTS CONSUMPTION OF TUBER Eat potatoes and serve your country. Bake them, boil them, cream them, hash-brown them, roast them with meat, eat them cold in salad. Remember that every potato eaten by an American over here will mean that more wheat will be sent and eaten by an American over there. During "Potato Week" the movement of potatoes was the heaviest since the first of the year, according to a report submitted to the Colorado Food Administration by the U. S. Bureau of Markets, over 450 cars of potatoes were rolled to market during the week of April 21 to 27—"Potato Week." There are now in Colorado less than 450 cars of marketable potatoes in the state. When you get down to brass tacks on the street railway situation in the United States, you will quickly see that there are just two ways to save the street car lines from piling up on the rocks in a mad, scrambled wreck: But these 450 cars must be saved from spoiling, and every loyal Ameri can must help eat potatoes and SAVE WHEAT for America's soldiers and the soldiers of the Allies. -Increase the revenues to meet the higher cost of operation and the needs for additional service, or- WHEAT SUBSTITUTE TABLE IS USEFUL TO HOUSEWIVES In war time all the old reverenced customs are cast overboard and new strange practices instituted in their places. Time was when a woman would consider her housewifery impeached if she used anything but the best and finest wheat flour. But that tradition, with thousands of others, has been shattered, and now real thrift and loyalty to country makes substitutes serve where only wheat was once known. Cut expenses down to where the cost of running the street railway does not exceed its income, which of course can only be done by cutting service. That is just how critical a situation Denver's street railway lines are in today. Out of some practice, skilled cooks have compiled the following table for women whose own experiment has not told them what the proper proportion of substitute flours makes the best mixture: which cost today from $8,000 to $11,000 each. This isn't a fancied or manufactured need. Ask our Division Superintendents and they'll verify the statement that in the evening rush there is scarcely a car left in the car houses around the system. We are right up to the scratch on equipment; we can go no farther without more cars. Thirty new cars are required to replace outworn cars that none of us like to ride in. But if our revenues are no greater than they have been, we can buy none. They have gone just as far as they can go without getting relief in some form. Now they must either increase revenue or decrease service. Which it shall be depends upon the answer of the Public Utilities Commission. There simply isn't any other way out. But it would take a tremendous decrease in service to sufficiently reduce expenses below income and meet the constantly rising costs still ahead of us. The above equivalents represent an average on these flours, but different mills turn out different grades of flour and weight is the safest guide. If you have no scales sift flour and measure lightly in a measuring cup. Miles of old track should have been replaced with new and heavier rail long ago, but there has been no money for such expenditures. Increased revenues is the only answer if street car riders on the older lines are to ride over smooth, fast track. It takes money to maintain tracks, cars and power system in good condition to give good service, and if maintenance were to be trimmed to the quick there would unavoidably result the knocked-out cars, bad track, and slow operation that mean poor service and frequent delays because of some outworn equipment we would be "trying to get along with." To make it concrete, let us take up some of the ways in which expenses would have to be reduced and the results that would come: COLORADO BEAN CROP If wages were reduced, or even remained as they are, a big proportion of our employees would quit—quit the cars, the shops, the track work and the offices. "The employees will undoubtedly expect added compensation," says the Tramway's petition, "and where this expectation is reasonable and consistent the public would desire and expect petitioner to meet it, but under present conditions of its revenues, petitioner would be utterly unable to do so." MUST BE INCREASED Disheartening crop news from New York and Michigan in regard to greatly lowered acreage in pinto bean planting has encouraged Colorado bean growers to make an increased effort to get a maximum acreage in this state. For the past three years, according to the report, growers in these states have been compelled to contend with wet weather at harvest time which greatly damaged their crops. In some cases entire crops were lost. O. H. Liebers, head of the bean division for the U. S. Food Administration, in announcing a shortage of good seed, states that Colorado growers can obtain good seed through the county agricultural agent or local shipper. You are interested in this, as a street car rider, because if there are not enough trainmen to operate cars, and not enough shopmen to repair the cars, and no operating heads to keep the system from getting all tangled up in itself, your service is hit quicker than anything else. Denver's street railways have been running behind and showing serious deficits for the past few years. They took in big sums of money annually—but at the end of each year they found themselves no better off than at the start, because they had to pay out everything they took in and then some. The man running the peanut stand on the corner has more left, in proportion to his earnings, at the end of the year, than the street railway system. Sounds foolish until you think about it. SAVE WHEAT SAVE WHEAT Reduction in service, in an attempt to make earnings meet expenses, would first of all mean cutting down the number of cars operated. Instead of running, for example, ten or twelve cars an hour on a line, only five or so could be operated, which would inevitably mean infrequent service, more crowded cars, and slower running time. The most vital food question facing America now is wheat saving. The United States Food Administration, in view of the critical wheat shortage, asks every Coloradoan to observe these rules: And when we stop to think of the wallop handed Denver's street railway lines by the coming of the automobile— For the sake of the American lads in the trenches of France— Make every meal every day a "wheatless meal." Eat no food of any kind containing wheat or wheat products unless absolutely necessary for health. Fewer cars would mean that all cars would be crowded with heavy standing loads, not only at rush hours, but through most of the day, because five or six cars would be carrying the load formerly carried by ten or twelve. —and the additional blow dealt a short time later by the rapid rise in labor and material (increases that are unparalleled in the history of the world)— Use potatoes, fresh vegetables, fruits, dairy products and other cereals such as corn and rice for fresh and cured meats of all kinds, including pork. —it's a wonder the street car system didn't throw up its hands and ask for increased revenue long ago. We should have, in order to keep up our standard of good service, 65 more cars, FOREIGN Austria the death rate from starva- tion was reported to have reached forty a day, What probably 1s a new German liquifted gas was projected against the Picardy front where American troops are fighting, Labor and Socialist organizations in Austria threaten revolt against the government action in suspending par- ‘Mament, Two Women spies, Josephine Alva- rez and Victorine Faucher, condemned to death by court-martial Jan, 25, were executed at Nantes, France, The Japanese are very proud of the achievement of Maseo Goto, a young civilian aviator, who has just flown from Tokio to Osaka, a distance of 350 miles.

BEGINNING Sunday, May 12, the citizens of Denver are specially requested by Chairman Berg of the Clean-Up Committee to cooperate with him in making our city the cleanest city in the world. For one week residents will go to work in the interest of health, safety and beauty, removing all the debris from their back yards and converting them to thrift gardens or attractive grass plots. Old tin cans and rubbish of every description will give way to sightly premises, as the determination to get rid of every means of entertaining disease germs around and about us will be in evidence. Then comes the house with its new suit of clothes—the paint that gives it that appearance, magnetizing the passer-by, and with the unanimous action of the people there is every hope that we will head the list for having THE CLEANEST AND MOST BEAUTIFUL CITY in the U. S. A. LET US TRY. THE RED CROSS CAMPAIGN PRESIDENT WILSON has issued his proclamation appealing to the people of America to raise $100,000,000 in the second campaign of the Red Cross—the greatest and most important institution of relief in the world in the present war activities. And who will dare refuse to help when Major George W. Simmons, manager of the Southwestern Division of the American Red Cross told us last Saturday evening in the Auditorium that Red Cross aid knows no CLASS, CREED OR COLOR, and while human beings can realize the wonderful good this organization is performing, there should be no reason to beseach any one to give to this cause, as the help it gives, the relief it affords, stand unparalleled in the history of the world? The blood-curdling atrocities as they were related by the Major, the exposed position that our Red Cross members are subjected to, with not even a weapon for self defense—all these will cheerfully find us contributing as largely as possible. Again: We are represented by a number of our feminine citizens who hold prominent positions with the organization branch in Colorado, and who made a very good showing in the way and manner they interested our people in the last campaign. This time they are coming not only to thank us for past kindnesses, but to awaken us to our responsibility—the bigger, larger or greater the Red Cross funds, the better or more hopeful the prospects or seeing our wounded return to us instead of laying on the battlefield, only to suffer torture and horrible death. THE COLORADO STATESMAN in doing its part for this noble cause invites its numerous subscribers and patrons to heed the request of our National head, and strive hard to exceed the quota assigned to our state, once more strengthening the tie that binds the West to the East and maintains our part in the solidarity of these our UNITED STATES. Remember, RED CROSS Campaign Monday, May 20, and week. DENVER TRAMWAY COMPANY SEEKS RELIEF. CORPORATIONS, like individuals, sometimes become overburdened with the load they carry, the weight they bear, and if they do not inform the public, it is natural to reason that everyone is thinking that the road is smooth, the way is clear and the most satisfactory result is occurring. Now comes the Denver Tramway Company in a petition to the Public Utilities Commission, asking for help to bear its greater burden that has been and still is increasing, owing to the conditions as set forth in their announcement on another page of this paper; conditions including increase of wages' to their employees, improvement of physical or rolling stock, for more comfortable and quicker service, general repairs of tracks, etc., which demand the public makes, and theretofore to meet this requirement the company makes an appeal to the people through their representative—the Public Utilities Commission—to grant permission to increase their income; in other words, to raise more money to meet the present extraordinary expenses. Of course, just the mere idea of increased car fare is viewed with a horrifying thought, comes like a hideous nightmare, because of the usual calculation—a large corporation making a plenty of money, for the majority of people must use the street cars. But what about the complaints for slow service, fewer cars, poor tracks, which must inevitably follow if the income is not commensurate to the expenditure? And then, not giving the matter full consideration because of the magnitude of the business, we often forget to treat it the same as any other business, on principle. We say, then, that this petition should particularly interest the public and an impartial phase of action should engage our attention, as at present there are so many things affecting us which, if we refuse to carefully consider, the result is surely disastrous to us. Information has just come to the railroad men—employees—of the substantial increase in salaries and wages of all those getting less than $250 per month, this being done to assist them in meeting the sudden leap in advance prices of foodstuffs and the high cost of living, and in the next breath the director of railways will ask the Congress for an increase in passenger and freight rates, as the increased wages will cause an increase of hundreds of millions in the apportionment for railroad expenses. It is hoped, therefore, that the public will specially interest themselves in this matter, as it is of paramount importance, and an understanding resulting in mutual advantage to both sides should follow. MAJOR ROBERT R. MOTON VOICES SENTIMENTS OF THOUGHTFUL NEGROES. WE have edited so many articles and commented so often on publications relative to MAJOR MOTON'S "The American Negro and The World War," which appears on the front page in this issue, that our readers may be inclined to think we are going over the ground too often and a phase of monotony may be apparent; but what greater delight or what more pleasurable moments could we enjoy than those spent in reading the opinions from the educated leaders of our race, on our position, our true position, which stands unchallenged except by enemy agents or some unfortunate people in our country, of the "midnight type," whose mental darkness is blacker than the blackest of any of our race. This president of Tuskegee, in donning the mantle of his predecessor, the late revered and illustrious Booker T. Washington, is acquiring a broader knowledge of the characteristic features of the Negro, as the present world conflict has suddenly brought about some tests, which although he responded to satisfactorily in previous perilous moments of his country, seemed to be forgotten or conveniently overlooked and now this supreme event confronts his nation, some are wondering what is his real position in the war. But Major Moton has gotten it down to its final analysis, when after giving proofs of his observations and conversations with our men in different camps, he found not a soldier in uniform, not a mechanical fellow-fashion soldier, not something in similitude of a tin-soldier, but a soldier in every sense of the word, whose every word, look, action proved his sincerity, loyalty and devotion to his country, flag and nation, and whose only purpose, highest aim, and greatest effort would be found in the world's history of the future as one of the standard-bearers in the propaganda of our allied forces who are bearing the brunt for WORLD DEMOCRACY. After citing quotations from Secretary Daniels of the Navy, Secretary of War Baker, Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, and Colonel James A. Moss, this latter army officer vouching for that nobleness of character in the Negro, which after eighteen years' experience with him won his (Colonel Moss)' faith and confidence, and who fearlessly and with much emphasis said, "the proper training and instruction of the Negro soldier is a simple problem—it merely consists IN TREATING HIM LIKE A MAN, in a fair and square way and in developing the valuable military assets he naturally possesses in the form of a happy disposition, pride in the uniform, tractability and faithfulness." Major Moton gave his deduction of what results from equal opportunity to a united people, proving the interrelation and interdependence of all races under the banner of the Stars and Stripes, strongly supporting Colonel Moss that no special favor is being asked by us, only AN EQUAL CHANCE ON EQUAL TERMS with other Americans. What is true of this well-disciplined soldier is true also of the majority of our people, and we can only express our appreciation of Major Robert Russa Moton in a faint way in our editorial column, but as he knows every alumnus of Old Hampton will have a renewed and vigorous pulsation of his heart of joy, in paying due honor to a worthy son of our ALMA MATER whose products are given credit by this and other nations for their farseeing ideas, depth of thought and logical reasoning that will be further helpful in the solution of this problem—the solution of which is, we hope not far off. Congratulations to this AMERICAN who is demonstrating greatness in leadership as time goes on. THOUSANDS OF EXPERT WORK ERS WANTED IN CIVILIAN BRANCHES OF SERVICE. MEAT CAREFULLY INSPECTED Every Part of the Supply for Army Use Is Scrutinized, From Stock Yards to Mess—Desertions From Camps Due to Discouraging Letters. (From Committee on Public Information.) Washington.—The civilian branches of the army and navy are in need of thousands of highly trained workers, and before the end of 1918 these branches must be increased by at least 20,000, according to the civil service commission. The ordnance department of the army needs large numbers of mechanical engineers, draftsmen, chemists, and metallurgists. Thousands of inspectors are wanted to pass on the quality of ordnance, ammunition, and other supplies. For office work statisticians, accountants, assistants in business administration, and specially trained clerks are needed. The quartermaster corps wants several thousand examiners and inspectors, and passenger and freight clerks are needed. The signal corps is short of draftsmen. The navy has an unlimited number of places for draftsmen, and a long list of positions for technical workers. Practically all branches of the service need stenographers, typists, book-keepers, and clerks. The army consumes about 2,000,000 pounds per day of fresh beef. This necessitates the slaughter daily of 4,000 cattle. Official inspectors scrutinize every part of this supply from the time it comes on the hoof to the abattor until it vanishes from the mess tin of the soldier. Inspection begins at the stock yards, where the living animals undergo the examination of an official for any evidences of physical defect which might be difficult of detection later. Where there is doubt the questionable animals are separated for closer examination. Where there is certainty of defect, the animal is rejected as unit for food supply. Next comes a rigid examination of the carcass. Only when found "sound, healthful, and wholesome" is the meat passed as acceptable for food and duly branded with a nonpoisonous vegetable ink, "United States Inspected and Passed." The unfit carcasses are destroyed. Fresh meats thus indorsed go forward in regular shipments, but those which are to undergo curing, canning, or manufacture into sausages, lard, oleomargarine, etc., are subjected to reinspections at each step. For these there is a final inspection just previous to their dispatch for army use. Samples are regularly collected for chemical analysis in the government laboratories. When the meats arrive at the army stations they are again inspected either by inspectors of the bureau of animal industry or by veterinarian officers of the army. They must also obtain the approval of the officer of the quartermaster corps receiving them. And they undergo their final test when the soldier's immediate organization commander looks them over before he permits them to be served to his men. Included in war department regulations regarding the employment of prisoners of war and interned enemy alliens are the following statements: All classes of prisoners, except commissioned officers and such others as are physically not fit to labor, will be required to perform work necessary for their comfort or for the upkeep of their prison barracks. Interned enemy alliens will not be held for compulsory labor except as provided in this paragraph. Prisoners of war, excepting officers, warrant, petty, and noncommissioned officers, may be required to work for the public service—they may be authorized to work on their own account. Under exceptional circumstances, when specially authorized by the secretary of war, they may, upon their written request, be authorized to work for private persons or for corporations. Petty and noncommissioned officers may be authorized to work on their own account, and, upon their written request, may be authorized to work in the same manner as other prisoners of war, except that they will be employed in a supervisory capacity only. An order for labor will be regarded as a military command, and prisoners falling to obey such order will be punished accordingly. When employed on work that is necessary for their comfort, or for the upkeep of the prison barracks in which they are interned, prisoners will receive no compensation. When the work is done for the government prisoners will be paid at a rate according to the work executed; when the work is done for other branches of the public service or for private persons the conditions of and the compensation for such work will be settled in agreement between representatives of said branches or persons and the adjutant general of the army. In a recent statement the war department strongly advises against discouraging letters to soldiers: "Recent reports from commanding generals of certain army divisions indicate that one of the fruitful causes of soldiers absenting themselves without leave is the discouraging letter from home. Such letters frequently give alarming and exaggerated reports of conditions surrounding the soldier's family, that some member is desperately ill, that all are starving, or that they are being in some way harassed. In instances such letters have so preyed upon the minds of soldiers that they have absented themselves without leave to go home, only to find that conditions had been grossly exaggerated. "Meanwhile the soldier had been absent without leave—a serious military offense. His problem then became one of facing the penalty or getting deeper into trouble by deserting. Sometimes a man's pride or fear has led him to desert. "Every soldier wants to receive letters from home. They should be frequent, cheerful, hopeful, and appreciative of the sacrifice that he is making for his country. They should be full of family incidents and cheerful home gossip. They should protect him from the trifling alarms and the small annoyances of everyday life. They should encourage him by giving full confidence that his family and his friends stand behind him in the great enterprise he has undertaken. "The value of such letters to soldiers is beyond estimate. The harm that discouraging letters from home do to him is clearly indicated by reports at the adjustant general's office. Here are some extracts from recent reports of division commanders: "I find, also, that many of the families of the men write to them of unsatisfactory conditions at home, sickness of relatives, and how much various members of the family wish to see the soldier. These letters, so far as sickness, etc., are concerned, are often overdrawn, but, combined with the homesick feeling, often result in the man going absent without leave and finally being dropped as a deserter." "I am now, through the newspapers of Indiana and through lecturers in Kentucky, whom we are able to reach through the office of the adjutant general of that state, endeavoring to advise the home people of these men of the seriousness of these offenses and that their efforts should be to assist every man in performing the duty that has devolved on him, to lighten his worries, and, above all, to regard desertion in its proper light. I shall also attempt to get the West Virginia papers to institute a campaign of education along similar lines." "A division inspector submitted the following in this connection: "While stationed at Columbus barracks, Ohio, last year I was a member of a general court-martial that tried approximately 100 enlisted men for desertion from National Guard regiments stationed on the border. I believe I am safe in saying that at least 90 per cent of them gave as their reason for desertion the fact that they had received letters from home to the effect that a wife, sister, or mother was either dying, very ill, or in destitute circumstances, and begged the man to come home at once. Many of the men admitted that when they arrived home they found that the writer of the letter had exaggerated conditions.' "Many young soldiers, fresh from home, suffer from homesickness, no matter how army officers may try to make their surroundings pleasant and comfortable and provide proper amusements. Extraordinary measures have been taken by the war department during the past year to keep the young soldier actively engaged while in camp with sports, amusements, and comforts that a wholesome psychology might be sustained. Still, a type of soldier will yearn for home and fall into a brooding mood. It is obvious how harmful to him and to the service a discontented letter from home might be." The enrollment of more than 102,000 boys between sixteen and twenty-one years of age for farm work this season in the boys' working reserve of the United States employment service has been made by six states, according to an announcement by the department of labor. The states first reporting were: California, 22,000; Indiana, 18,845; Illinois, 25,000; Ohio, 18,000; Tennessee, 4,200; Wisconsin, 14,000. In Rhode Island high school boys are being enrolled in the reserve, trained in handling farm machinery, and sent in groups by automobile to farmers to demonstrate their ability. Men's colleges and universities are making prompt response to the request of Secretary of Labor Wilson that their students be enrolled in the public service reserve and placed on farms this summer to assist in food production. They will be placed with farmers through the United States employment service, with the aid of the county agents of the department of agriculture. Swimming is to be taught soldiers in some training camps this summer as a military requirement, according to the commission on training camp activities. A statement by the commission shows that 118,000 soldiers in camps participated in organized basket ball last season. The allotment of meat purchases for the army, navy, and marine corps and the allies has been consolidated in a single bureau, with headquarters in Chicago. Buy Stock in The Owl Oil Company and yet the company has over seven-tenths of its stock in the treasury. The Texas leases are to be proved by subletting a portion of them and it will not cost this company one cent to make this proof. The leases in the Lost Soldier field are very promising and we are under contract to start a well by June 1st, and that is why we need your assistance in the way of buying stock. A few thousand dollars will put us in position to drill these leases and if production is obtained our holdings will then be worth many hundred times what is will cost to develop them. And while we are proving the Wyoming leases the first well is under contract to be drilled in the Chelsea pool by a company drilling on a fifty-fifty basis, and this also will not cost the company any money or stock. And the Chelsea pool is so well proved that we have but little doubt that we will secure a well. This gives the Owl company a chance in three prominent fields—Oklahoma, Texas and Wyoming. If you place your orders for stock with us we assure you honest treatment and efficient management, and you will help the company to make a success, and meanwhile earn some quick money yourself.

VOTE WAS 293 T0 106 EXPRESSION Foomatic IN PREMIER CLEAMS CASE THAT STIRRED NATION. Weatern Newspaper Union News Service, London, May 10.—'The Lloyd George ministry won a notavie victory in the House of Comirions. By a vote of 293 to 106 the House yoied down a motion introluced by forme. Premier Asquith providing for the «ppointment of a special committee to investigate charges made by Maj. Gen, Frederick B, Matrice, recently relieved of his post of chief director of milit: ry opera- tions at the wer olfice.

ALLIES RESTORE LINES. Huns Hurled From New Positions by Violent Counter Attacks on West Front. London, May 10.—“At the close of the fighting Thursday morning in the LaClytte-Voormezeele sector,” says Field Marshal Haig's report from Brit ish headquarters in France, “the French and British positions on this front were completely re-established, “Following upon hostile artillery ac tivity already reported, the enemy launched two local attacks early ‘Thursday morning in_ the neighbor. hood of Albert and Bouzincourt. In the latter locality the enemy’s attack was broken up by our rifle and ma- chine gun fire and fafled to reach our trenches, “At Albert, after suffering heavy casualties from our fire, his troops succeeded in effecting a lodgment in our advanced position on a front of about 150 yards. “On the remainder of the British front there is nothing to report de- yond artillery activity on both sides in the different sectors.” Warren Candidate to Succeed Himself.

Sy Sep en a aera De teeets yen e nee cee Washington, May 6.—Analysis of Liberty Loan reports showed that probably 17,000,000 persons bought bonds in the campaign, which closed Saturday midnight — 7,000,000 more than in the second loan, and 12,500, 000 more than in the first. Latest tabulations showed $3,316, 628,250, reported subscriptions, but the treasury now believes the actual total, which may run to $4,000,000,000, will not be definitely known until May 13. “Whatever the money total,” said a treasury statement, “the loan just closed probably is the most successful ever floated by any nation. The mar yelous distribution of the Third Lib- |erty loan indicates that one out of every six persons in the United States | may have participated in this loan.” Banks’ resources, it was pointed out, have been drawn on comparatively lit- tle, and the prospects for future loans “are brighter as a consequence, An added reason for jubilation is the In- ‘ication that the government pond: buying habit is becoming stronger "among people of small means. The table oz subscriptions by dis: tricts is as follows: New York, 4,000,000; Chicago, 2,498, 000; Cleveland, 1,561,079; Philadel -phia, 1,200,000; Boston, 1,200,000; San Francisco, 1,000,000; Atlanta, 1,000,000; Minneapolis, 1,000,000; Kansas City, 900,000; Richmond, 900,000; St. Louis, 866,842; Dallas, 850,000. Secretary McAdoo gave out this statement: “"gae people of the United States may well felictate themselves upon the triumphant success of the Third Liberty loan. It is a most heartening manifestation of thelr patriotism and of their inflexible determination to support our gallant army and navy until a victorious decision for America 1s achieved, “I should like to thank the thou- sands of men and women throughout the country, every class of our citizen- ship, for their effective assistance and cooperation in this great victory behind the lines, without which a vic- tory on the front cannot be achieved. “I earnestly hope that everyone who has bought Liberty bonds will try to Keep them for the period of the war at least. The slogan now should be ‘Keep your Liberty bonds.’ No one does his share fully if he merely buys a bond and then sells it immediately below par on the market. “If each and every purchaser keeps his Liberty bonds he helps to protect the credit of the government by main- taining the market for the bonds at par, which {s a very helpful thing in war time.” Bolden Bros.

The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Your Red Cross dollars—every cent of every Red Cross dollar—actually relieves suffering—actually goes as you give it, for war relief. Not one cent of any contribution goes into Red Cross administration expenses—the overhead of War Fund administration is more than covered by the interest accruing from the banking of the funds. All relief work not pertaining to the war is amply covered by the normal revenues* of the Red Cross through membership dues. Your answer to humanity's cry—your donation to war relief—includes not only the care and restoration of the wounded. It is a mission of mercy to the famished, the homeless and helpless, the lame, the halt, and the blind—all the victims of war that appeal to the heart of mankind. The relief of invalided soldiers, relief of the mutilated and blind, training of crippled soldiers for useful pursuits—relief service for the care and revival of soldiers on furough from the front—relief of children throughout devastated territory—relief of dependent families of soldiers—relief to prisoners in Germany—relief among repatriated people returning to France—children's refuges and hospitals—these are among the divisions of organized work that carries practical aid to its every object in a wide field of activity. Its scope embraces Russia, Roumania, Serbia, Italy and Armenia—besides the great field of France. ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Your donation makes this great mission of mercy your own. The Red Cross carries 100 cents' worth of aid for every dollar donated. THIS IS THE TRUE RED CROSS SPIRIT THIS IS THE TRUE RED CROSS SPIRIT A Little Story With a Big Thought in It. A month ago the Red Cross chapter in Bay City, Mich., received a hurry up call for 150 dunnage bags. Troops were about to move, and through an oversight their equipment was not complete. The bags had to be made and sent within 48 hours. A request for help was sent over the town, and the stores were searched successfully for the right materials. Among those who quickly responded and came to the chapter workrooms to help were two little girls, sisters, about ten and twelve years of age, each eager to lend a hand and do something for the boys who were going to the front. All day long the fingers of the women and the little girls were fairly flying. Bag after bag received the last stitch until scores were piled up ready for shipment. Closing time came, and the woman superintending the making of the bags counted those completed and announced that if every one of the workers could come early the next morning and work all day the bags would surely be finished in time for shipping by evening. Two crestfallen little girls, the little sisters, were waiting for her at the door as she departed. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. "We are awfully sorry, ma'am," said the older of the two, "but we can't come back tomorrow. You see tomorrow we have to—" And, without finishing the sentence, she looked back wistfully at the pile of bags. "It is too bad you can't come back," said the superintendent, "but I want to thank you, and we all thank you, for the work you've done today. You two have been a wonderful help, and that pile of bags wouldn't be nearly so big if you hadn't been here. Good night." TWODOLLARSAYEAR The next morning when the super- intendent came down to unlock the workrooms for the day she was aston- ished to see the two little girls stand- ing in the cold by the locked door. "Oh, I'm so glad to see you!" she said. "I thought you said you couldn't come?" "Oh, we knew those Red Cross bags just had to be finished for the soldi- ers," exclaimed the little one, with glistening eyes, "and we got up at three o'clock this morning and got the washing done early!"

It serves 3,423 French military hospitals. THE KITCHEN CABINET Some neglect the gift that is in them because they are so busy in looking for the gift that is in somebody else.—C. H. Spurgeon. POTATO DISHES. We are asked to increase the use of potatoes because of a good supply at present in many sections. This will save grain and as potatoes are rich in starch they may help in the saving of bread. Bread Panned Potatoes-Cut cold boiled potatoes in quarter inch slices, dredge lightly with flour and fry in a little hot fat. When light brown, heap on the side of the pan, let stand a few minutes, then turn out as an omelet. Sprinkle with salt and serve at once. Potato pancakes are a great delicacy and may be used occasionally for a supper dish although rather hearty for the young people. Mashed potatoes with a little codfish may be made into cakes and browned on both sides. Scalloped Potatoes.—Wash and pare the potatoes, cut in slices and let them stand a half hour in cold water. Drain, then put a layer of the potatoes in a buttered baking dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper, dredge with flour and dot with bits of oleo or any butter substitute, adding a little grated cheese or a few sliced hard-cooked eggs to make a more nourishing dish. Repeat until the dish is full, then cover with hot milk and bake in a moderate oven one and a fourth hours. Potato Salad.—Mix cold boiled potato, a little chopped onion, a cucumber and a little celery or some chopped green pepper; one or all of these will make a good salad. Garnish with hard-cooked egg and make a boiled dressing, using the vinegar left from any sweet pickled cucumbers. The spice and flavor make a dressing especially good. For variety, cold beets, chopped parsley, cooked carrots or fresh carrot finely ground, or in fact any vegetable, may be added to the potato without hurting its palatability. Leftover peas and beans with a slice of tomato for a garnish may be used in combination with potato. A hot potato salad is especially well liked. Here one may use any fat, olive or corn oil and heat the spiced vinegar to pour over the potatoes. As a nation we eat and waste 80 per cent more protein than we require to maintain health. We also eat and waste 240 per cent more fat than is necessary. GOOD EATS TO SAVE MEATS. The variety of beans which are now grown, each having a flavor of its own, making a variety, so that "to not know beans" these days is a well deserved opprobrium. The soy bean is rich in fat and much richer in protein than other beans. They have riety, so that "to not know beans" these days is a well deserved opprobrium. The soy bean is rich in fat and much richer in protein than other beans. They have been milk and butter to the Oriental people and we are just beginning to know their value. There are also the lima, kidney and navy beans, as well as a dozen varieties of various colors and names that we may grow in our gardens this summer. Black Soy Bean Soup.—Take a cupful of cooked black soy beans, four cupfuls of water, one-half an onion, a stalk of celery, a teaspoonful of salt, a half-teaspoonful of pepper, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of mustard and a tablespoonful of fat. Cook the onion in the fat; add the beans, water and seasonings. Simmer one hour. Serve hot. Soy beans are often hard to cook tender. They should be well soaked and cooked in the same water, as much of the nutriment of any vegetable is wasted by throwing away the water in which it was cooked. Lima Beans en Casserole.—Soak one cupful of lima beans, cook until soft, then drain. Brown one onion, minced in a quarter of a pound of salt pork cut in cubes. Add the beans and two-thirds of a cupful of the bean liquor, place in a greased baking dish and bake until brown. Bean Roast.—Take a cupful of stewed beans and a cupful of peanuts, put them through a meat chopper, add a half-cupful of bread crumbs, a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper and a half-cupful of milk; shape into a loaf and bake 30 minutes. Serve hot with tomato sauce. Peanut Butter Soup.—Take a cupful of peanut butter, three cupfuls of milk, two teaspoonfuls of salt, a dash of pepper, a tablespoonful of flour mixed with the peanut butter; cook all together and whip well with an egg beater. Celery water or minced onion may be added for flavor. Nellie Maxwell "Mind" and "Body." An English writer, Prof. L. T. Hobhouse, remarks that the "mind" of a nation is a real agency, and he suggests there is an analogy in the human body which is the result of vital processes going on in a myriad of independent cells. The body is not another cell. It is something more than all the cells that compose it. THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.

There are some new departures in the styles but they are unobtrusive and no one kind of neckpiece is dominant, overshadowing others, as the jabot did last spring. Favor is divided among several good styles and much attention given to the development of them to the last degree of daintiness. This spring the guimpe, the vestee with collar attached, the stock collar and tie and the long collar with cuffs to unatch are receiving the greatest amount of consideration. tality. They are of of white organdie or or of a combination color. They are sl finished; little frills and embroidered de pace in the choice of them.

In so many of the new spring suits coats are open in the front to the waistline; that a waistcoat or vestee comes in as a matter of course as the most logical of accessories.

Therefore, collar and cuff sets have 'seen forged to the front with new vl- ```markdown ``` THE SEWING MACHINE Smart and Quiet Daytime Frocks Daytime frocks that prove most interesting this season, whether they are made of silk or of wool materials, are those that provide a way of dressing for almost any occasion. Naturally foulard has come back to us, and has forged to the front, in an endless variety of patterns and made up in an endless variety of ways, proving itself a reliable resource in the wardrobe. Women have need of just this kind of frock now that war time makes them wish for a limited supply of dresses. Striped satins, in separate skirts, or combined with georgette crepe or chiffon cloth in frocks, plays the same sort of role as that undertaken by foulard in the apparel of today. It is the new understudy whose performance is proving equally as good as that of the star. Just one more of those fine combinations of satin and crepe that have been plentiful this spring is pictured here. The tunic and the bolero strengthen its consciousness of being strictly in the mode while fulfilling its many duties. Its wearer will know herself to be smartly and quietly gowned—which knowledge is very comfortable—a consumption to be devoutly wished in daytime frocks. For once stripes do not run diagorally; in this frock they proceed in matter-of-fact directness about the figure, in a tunic that proves itself an exception to the rule of uneven lengths tulity. They are of white wash satin, of white organdie or crepe georgette, or of a combination of white and a color. They are simply and daintily finished; little frills, scalloped edges and embroidered dots holding first place in the choice of decorations for them. A set of this kind is shown in the picture, with a jabot and high collar of net in which embroidered dots also serve as a means of adornment. An added daintiness comes of using very sheer swiss-organdie and making the collar and cuffs double as shown in the picture. Soft white collar fabrics like gaberdine, cross-barred with fine lines in black or blue, are used for high stock collars with four-in-hand ties attached. Vestees with high collars finished with rows of little pearl buttons are made of the same materials. These will all delight the woman who likes trim, mannish touches to add to her tailor-made suit. 1 in tunics. This tunic is finished with a band of crepe whose straightforwardness is emphasized by a row of beads on its edge. There is a short bodice of the striped satin and over it a long-sleeved bolero of the crepe. The sleeves have narrow cuffs of the satin. A narrow shawl collar of the crepe is extended into the ends, which prove the designer has originality and imagination. The edging of small beads that outline the bolero at the arm's eye and at its lower edge finish the te ends and the cuffs, so that we are in no danger of overworking the clever details of this design. Such gowns as this force home the conviction that materials are less important than the way in which they are put together, in the making of successful clothes. Julia Bottomley The new swater is made of narrow satin ribbon, instead of worsted. The first one brought to this country from France contained 1,000 yards of baby ribbon, yet the cost was less than the average silk swater. These swaters are promoted by the French to conserve wool. The idea is very clever and will undoubtedly appeal to hundreds of women who can do the work at home. Shurter A. REV. C. A. WIN SUNDAY, MAY 11 QUEEN C.
