XXIV. HE fortunes and vicissitudes of this World War have brought practically all the black peoples of the world into the control of the Allies. Africa, with its quarter of a billion of black population, is one of the stakes for which the war is being waged. When the war is over, there will be the question of policy toward the black peoples of the earth. How shall they be treated? What methods for improving them shall be used? Two important results of this World War are already apparent. One of these is a marked increase in efficiency along all lines; the other is a wider extension of democratic principles and ideas. It is probable that these two will be the greatest after-effects of the war. It would appear that the problem of efficiency and the problem of democracy are the two problems, of all those growing out of the war, which most vitally concern the Negro. Will the Negro peoples of the world be able to attain that efficiency which will enable them to hold their own in the fierce struggle, commercial and industrial, that will take place in the years following the coming of peace? Again, will the principles of democracy be so applied to Negroes that they will be able to take part in this struggle on the same basis as other peoples? The darker peoples of the earth have had this war thrust upon them; they have been compelled to participate in it. The ramifications of this world's struggle have reached the remotest corners of the earth. There is scarcely a 'tribe or a group of people, however obscure, which in one way or another has not been affected by it. Since this is a war for the vindication of democratic principles, the question arises in regard to the darker peoples: On what basis shall they participate? This problem comes prominently to the front in America, in Europe and in Africa. In the United States it was raised with reference to the migration of the Negro to the North. Should he, as any other citizen of the nation, be permitted to move freely from one section of the country to another, and without let or hindrance be allowed to engage in any occupation in which any other people are engaged? It was suggested by some that this be not permitted; and there were others who by force attempted to prevent it. These suggestions and repressions were made in spite of the fact that the war has demonstrated that the Negro is one of the most dependable and fruitful sources of labor supply that the country has. He is not a hyphen, his loyalty is unquestioned. The problem of democracy likewise arose in connection with the use of the Negro as a soldier. When it was suggested that he be used, the question was raised as to the basis on which he should be accepted. When the call for volunteers was sent out, he was excluded, except to a limited extent. There was the problem of the disposition of the Negro regiments, battalions and companies of the National Guard. There was the question as to the basis on which the Negro should be drafted. The final result was that he was placed on the same basis as other men and drafted in the same manner. Turning next to Europe, it is found that France has used her black soldiers on about the same basis as her white ones are used. Before the war began, Germany raised strong objections to the possible use of black soldiers on European battlefields. On the other hand, Germany did not hesitate to use black troops in Africa. The great difficulties which the British experienced in conquering German East Africa were caused by the stubborn resistance offered by the Kaiser's black soldiers. The British policy with reference to black soldiers thus far appears to be that in the crown colonies, such as Jamaica and Sierra Leone, regiments of Negroes are enlisted for fighting. In the self-governing states of Canada and the Union of South Africa, the policy with some exceptions was until recently to enlist black men for labor. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION state Hiat. & Nat Hist Soc. Estate House the Only Relia COLORA O AND DI By MONROE N. WORK. Editor of the Negro Year Book. (FROM SOUTHERN WORKMAN.) In the campaign in 1914 against German Southwest Africa, the contingent from the Union of South Africa was made up of white soldiers with black men acting as servants and laborers. In contrast, the contingent from West Africa which took part in the campaign was composed mainly of black troops. Although denied enlistment at home, hundreds of individual black men from both South Africa and Canada went to Europe and enlisted in British white regiments or in the French Foreign Legion. Modern warfare depends not only upon the soldiers on the firing line, but in as great a degree on the maintaining of supplies and lines of communication back of the line. For this reason almost as large an army has to be maintained to provide supplies for the soldiers, and to keep open the lines of communication as are employed in actual fighting. To help supply the laborers for the work back of the line Great Britain has brought thousands of black men from Africa. Over 10,000 have been regularly recruited in South Africa and sent to France. These natives have been enlisted, formed into battalions, and drilled just the same as the regular soldiers. They have been given to understand that the service that they are rendering is just as important as that done on the firing line. A construction battalion of Negroes was recently raised in Canada and sent to France. Its work is to build bridges, railroads, artillery roads and other work to assist in keeping up the lines of communication back of the allies front. The difficulties, climatic and otherwise, in connection with the campaign against German East Africa caused the Union of South Africa, recently, to ask and receive permission to enlist black soldiers within the Union for use in this campaign. Western African black troops were also used there. The very gallant manner in which the native troops on both sides fought in German East Africa has called forth great praise from the South African commanders. Let us now consider the problem of efficiency as it relates to the Negro The exigencies of the war situation have caused many inventions and discoveries to be made. When peace come these inventions and discoveries will be applied to the arts of industry. One result of the war has been the opening of large industrial opportunities for the Negro in the United States and other parts of the world. The problem that he faces is to be able to take the fullest advantage of these opportunities. His ability to measure up to their requirements will, in a large measure, determine whether he will continue in them. Still another result of the war is the breaking down of isolation. No longer will any race or group of people, however backward, work unto itself. They will compete with the most intelligent, the most skilled in the occupations in which they are engaged. The competition of the future is to be wider, stronger, more subtle and intense. In proportion as black men fail to increase their efficiency, in that proportion will they be swept from the face of the earth; for the industrial and commercial war that will follow peace will be no less a life-and-death struggle than the present war. In the readjustments, therefore, that will take place after the war, efficiency demands upon the Negro will be very great. In addition to those for industrial efficiency there will be the demands for efficiency along other lines, as in education and health conservation. Because of these great demands there will need to be readjustments in all forms of Negro education. There are already great changes in the occupations in which Negroes were engaged when the war began. For example, there are changes in agriculture, the occupation in which the majority of black men throughout the world are found. In the regions which they inhabit, the changes in this occupation are almost revolutionary. Second, the opportunity has come to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 18 1918 DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 18 1918 Negroes to engage in a great many occupations which, hitherto, have not been open to them. Great and important changes are also taking place in the professions, as for example, in medicine and surgery. To meet, therefore, the efficiency demands, the Negro in the future must have a higher grade of education along all lines. To some extent the Negro has already been prepared to receive this newer education. He, along with the other peoples of the earth, is getting a lot of education out of this war. He is discussing it. He is doing a lot of traveling. There is his migration in the United States; there is the sending of thousands of black soldiers and laborers from Africa and the United States to Europe. He is also being compelled to do old things in new ways. He is likewise doing a lot of things he never did before. All these factors have contributed to give the black man an appreciation of his educational needs. Kipling, in a series of articles which recently appeared in the Saturday Evening Post under the title "The Eyes of Asia," points out the great educational effect which this war is having upon India through the agency of the troops that have been brought from there to the western front. In like manner the black peoples of Africa and elsewhere are getting a new and wider point of view. In conclusion, it may be noted that the problem of efficiency and the problem of democracy are complimentary and indissolubly bound up with each other. On the one hand, the problem of efficiency as it relates to democracy means that every class and race must do its best, must endeavor to make the most of itself. It must not shirk, nor be a slacker, for just in proportion as it fails to come up to the best that it is canable of, under the circumstances, to that extent does it fail in its contribution to democracy's success. On the other hand, will the extension of democratic principles to black men make it better or worse for them and for the nations of which they are a part? As soldiers as laborers, and in other ways, the black peoples of the earth are doing their part in this World War. They feel that when it is over, it would be but just to extend the principles of democracy to them. This they understand would be granting them equality of opportunity with other men. It would be the carrying out of the square-deal idea, the establishing of race adjustment on the basis of justice and good will. It appears from the study of the history of the progress of mankind that the extension of democratic principles to black men would not only be a matter of justice but also would pay from an economic standpoint. For then they would have opportunity to acquire that varied intelligence which would enable them to develop their efficiency to the highest degree, to make of themselves more valuable assets for their nations than if these principles were withheld. A number of soldier boys from France passed through here Tuesday afternoon on their way to the base hospital at Lakewood, N. J. Some were blind, some were deaf. some were legless and armless, but all able to talk still showed a desire to fight for liberty. There were eight colored boys in the car from the old 8th Illinois, the 24th and 25th Infantry. They were suffering from shell shock and gas fumes and were nervous wrecks. They were seventeen days coming over and though unnerved by the horrors of the struggle "over there" favored a fight-to-the finish.—Philadelphia Tribune. MAYOR ROBERT W. SPEER Who died of pneumonia at 3 o'clock dence, 300 Humboldt street, and whose a blow to other municipal workers who shape their cities after Denver, which country. Who died of pneumonia at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon at his late residence, 300 Humboldt street, and whose death is not only a loss to this city, but a blow to other municipal workers who were steadfastly following his plan to shape their etties after Denver, which was to be the best municipality in the country. HE loss which this community has suffered in the death of Robert W. Speer will be more keenly felt than any words herein can adequately describe. When a man so devoted to a cause has sacrificed his very life in the promotion, development and intended consummation of that cause, the historian will not and cannot do otherwise than inscribe his name and his deeds indelibly in the pages of his works dedicated to this martyr, whom posterity will delight to honor when they behold with pride the practical results of a builder. For forty-one years Mayor Speer identified himself with the West, having come to Colorado in 1877 from Pennsylvania in search of health, and being fully restored, started on a mission which made his career one of the most remarkable in the United States, gaining for him an appreciation as a builder whose constructive powers brought Denver to a place of recognition in the minds of the citizen as well as the visitor, that will not be effaced from their' memory. His achievements stand out conspicuously, the result of a man of great forethought, who peering into the future, could catch a glimpse of what Denver could be, and then launched out to accomplish his task. The City Auditorium, municipal playgrounds for children, bath houses, paved streets, municipal organ, Civic Center and numerous other important things which he was absolutely responsible for, proved without doubt his was a master mind, and witnesses of these great monuments unbiased and unprejudiced cannot but set their stamp of approval on a man who had only one aim in life—the doing of things for the people for life-long enjoyment. ck Tuesday afternoon at his late residence is not only a loss to this city, but we steadfastly following his plan to was to be the best municipality in the Whatever he was politically falls comparatively short to the broad sphere of usefulness which he from time to time engaged in, and it can be said of him: HE DIED AT THE POST OF DUTY for his people and city, endearning to make same the most beautiful and attractive in the country, and one of the best in the world. HE IS DEAD. No longer will that commanding personality who was the recipient of the honor and support of the people for three terms as mayor of Denver gaze upon our faces with his usual smile, move among us with his carriage and bearing, evidences of a man specially fitted for something great and beneficial to the nation; but his works live after him, and those who had the opportunity of associating with him have received the legacy enabling them to carry out his plan of completion, which will be a blessing to us and an epiphath to be read by those who will succeed us in the years to come. Funeral services were held from the City Auditorium yesterday after the body had laid in state from 12:30 to 3:30 p. m. Short prayers were said over the body, the same resting in a catalogue in front of the great organ, where it was viewed by the great throng of citizens. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, on behalf of the citizens it represents, offers its extreme sympathy over the irreparable loss we have sustained in the death of our late Mayor, commending his lifelong companion, Mrs. Speer, who survives him, to the care and keeping of the Arch Consoler, assuring her our hope is that when the records shall be read at the end of time, emblazoned within the covers will be found the name of her illustrious husband—ROBERT W. SPEER. NO 30 RACE NEWS Jackson, Miss—Secretary of the Treasury Wm. G. McAdoo received a message from Charles E. Anderson, chairman of the Negro executive committee of the Colored Knights of Pythias of Florida, informing him that the Knights of Pythias of Florida had bought $25,000 third issue of Liberty Bonds. In Atlanta, Ga., the colored and white citizens held parades on different days in the interest of the War Savings Stamp movement. The parade of the colored citizens was held under the leadership of Prof. M. W. Reddick. Out of a population of 75,000 the Negroes of Atlanta had 15,000 in their parade, while the white citizens, out of a population of 150,000, had in line less than 10,000. The Rev. Thomas B. O'Connell pastor of the Salem A. M. E. Church of Roslyn, L. I., arrested Friday night by the military police for selling liquor to soldiers at Camp Upton, was sent to the Nassau County Jail at Mineola pending trial by the Federal court in Brooklyn. Bail was fixed at $500. According to the police the minister sold the liquor in a house adjoining the church and was charging the soldiers at the rate of $4 a quart for it. Austin, Texas. By a recent vote of the legislators, the ballot is given to the women citizens of the state. The women will pay poll tax after 1918. Added to 14,000 Colored men voters, come at least 150,000 Colored women. Just as the colored women has made herself a factor in the educational and religious affairs of the race, she will forge into prominence as a political factor with all who come hereafter will have to reckon.

In aerial fighting in this sector two American aviators have accounted for three German ma- chines, Increased artillery activity is noted on the Lorraine sector. | Phone Main 6699 Private Booths for Ladies ef\ NIGHT AND DAY CAFE HANS ; OUUNN GATE g AND COLD DRINK PARLOR VOR ON TS B, CARRUTH and J, GREGORY, Proprietors NOMA SI) CAIRNS A Full Line of Fresh Fish In Season Wad Oysters and Lobsters GOA Short Orders At All HoursRest Room for Ladies 919 NINETEENTH STREET DENVER, COLORADO MORRISON'S FAMOUS JAZZ ORCHESTRA AND ENTERTAINERS GEO.

Secretary McAdoo Urges Systematic Plan of Buying Certificates. Washington—To stimulate the campaign to obtain pledges for the pu- chase of outstanding irsue of War Savings Stamps, Secretary McAdoo fixed June 28 as nationa: War Savings day. “It is essential,” said the secretary's statement, “that the American people economize and save in order to maxe available to their government the money indispensably needed for the war, One of the best methods of bringing about this result is for every one to pledge himself to economize and save and to purchase, at definite periods, a specific amount of War Savings Stamps. 7 “To the end that this intensive cam- paign may be most effective and that the attention of the entire people be centered on their obligation to pledge the government this kind of support for the winning of the war, it is urged that June 28, 1918, be observed as a national War Savings day.” Taxicab Rates.

THE ORDER of the perpetual stream is not common to man, as in the language of the poet it boastfully asserts, "For men may come and men may go, but I go on forever"; and therefore while we lament our departed Mayor who has left us a monument that shall never be torn down or a legacy that shall never be taken from us, we have today to say a word to his successor, Mayor William F. R. Mills, whose good fortune it was to be associated with the Hon. Robert Speer for two successive years, and whom we trust has caught the mantle, resolving to carry out his illustrious predecessor's program in making Denver become a city of unusual attractiveness. Knowing Mayor Mills for a number of years and finding him of the same disposition at all times and under all circumstances, we can substantially and in all good faith say to our citizens that no new introduction or new-fashioned idea will interfere with the successful carrying on of the work devolving on him, and in his usual way, easily to be approached, ready to listen, and of an uncommon geniality, the support of the entire citizenry should be given him so that from the start he may feel secure in the confidence of the people. The position of Mayor of Denver, while in the opinion of some may not be very important, calls for a man—a big man, a man who is garrisoned to inform, instruct and suggest to the public he serves, while he unswervingly devoted to duty, is firm, fearless and impartial in his dispensing justice to all classes of the community. In his former capacity as manager of parks and improvements, he is said to have acted with fairness to all, and this being a quality which he greatly appreciates, there is every reason to anticipate a successful administration. Many of the ideas of the late Mayor will be brought out and put into effect, and the finishing touches applied by Mayor Mills will, we are sure, result in permanent benefits to our community. In expressing our best wishes, THE COLORADO STATESMAN would assure the Mayor that its columns are always open for the publication of official information to the public, and while wishing for a successful administration, prays FOR THE UNITED SUPPORT of the people of the city and county of Denver. MONROE N. WORK DECLARES NEGRO EFFICIENCY WILL AID EXTENSION OF DEMOCRACY. AS THE MORNING LIGHT dispels the gloom; as the mist disappears before the rising sun, so do such weighty and encouraging articles, which appear on the front page of this paper, from the pen of Monroe N. Work, editor of the Negro Year Book, drive away the pro-slavish thought, the ante-bellum ideas, that many of us are entertaining from the guidance and instruction given by incompetent and inefficient leaders—the doctrine of whom to a great extent has hampered us and made our road beset with great obstructions in the march of life that now presents itself in a form compelling the abandonment of these ancient ideas, and grasping firmly the naked facts and stern realities as are thrust upon us today. In the article, "The Negro and Democracy," Mr. Work hits squarely from the shoulder when he shows that practically all the black peoples of the earth are under the control of the Allies, and so useful are they in the propagation of the democratic principles that form the basis of this great war, that the question of the part they will play after the war is now engaging the minds of the deep thinker and student. To the writer it is apparent that two important results must be one—a marked increase of efficiency along all lines, the other a wider extension of democratic principles and ideas—and these two will be the problems that will vitally concern us most. "Will the Negro peoples of the world," he asks, "be able to attain that efficiency which will enable them to hold their own in the fierce struggle, commercial and industrial, that will take place in the years following the coming of peace?" Continuing, he says: "Again, will the principles of democracy be so applied to Negroes that they will be able to take part in this struggle on the same basis as other peoples?" What questions for the thoughtful! How they seriously engage us as we realize their meanings, and as we from time to time endeavor to show through the columns of this journal of the necessity of qualifying, becoming more efficient to meet this race, this greater struggle that must come after the present strife! And Mr. Work, optimistic as he always is, entertains every hope of our rising to the occasion by clearly showing that the exigencies of the war situation have caused many inventions and discoveries to be made which will be applied to the arts of industry, and as we are being used in a manner enabling us to acquire such knowledge, we should apply ourselves to the farthest extent to measure up when the test comes; and as the competition is to be on a larger, stronger and more intense scale, it seems to him the man of efficiency and not color or race will be the successful competitor. The following words should ring with louder tones in every Negro's ear, should be engraved on every heart of a black man, traverse every brain cell, enter every blood vessel, until a complete circulation takes place, and there being no possible chance of getting it out of the system, the inevitable would surely follow: "In proportion as black men fail to increase their efficiency, in that proportion will they be swept from the face of the earth; for the industrial and commercial war that will follow peace will be no less a life-and-death struggle than the present war." Iu these words Editor Work has struck the keynote; let us take up the chord today, and for God's sake gain that efficiency, the music of which would be sung and played by every other race, resulting in that harmonious feature that will solve the other problem—will we be able to measure up to that degree of democracy which makes imperative EQUAL OPPORTUNITY, and thus forever shatter the last barrier that makes justice an idea, a vision, an imaginary role, as we have been experiencing for centuries the world over. Articles like these from men who have given the present world struggle the most careful study will keep the masses of the Negro world and the inefficient leaders among us with the hook-worm influence will either have to quit business and join the progressive era and the intellectual propaganda that is being disseminated or be consigned to the place where his physical and mental being will melt away as the mercury of our new existence rises in the thermometer of efficiency and progress. THE COLORADO STATESMAN thanks Editor Work for this timely message to our people and gladly publishes the article in full for the benefit of insuring a double impression on the minds of our people, making them stronger and firmer in a cause which concerns them first and is of the greatest importance in their lives. EFFICIENCY IS THEREFORE THE SINE QUA NON TO THE EXTENSION OF DEMOCRACY. SUGAR ALLOWANCE OF MANUFACTURER CUT BY FOOD HEAD SUGAR ALLOWANCE OF MANUFACTURER CUT BY FOOD HEAD Cooperation and conservation will go head in hand in Colorado when the United States Food Administration, after May 15, will cut down the sugar supply of all manufacturers of non-essential products so that housewives will have a plentiful amount of sweetening for her spring and summer housecleaning. From May 15 to July 1 manufacturers of non-essential food products will receive, by the authority of a certificate from the Food Administration 80 per cent of the sugar used by them last year. Essential food manufacturers will be allowed 100 per cent, and manufacturers of non-edible products will be prohibited from using any sugar. Non-essential food products include soda fountain syrups, candies, syrups, chewing gum, cocoa and chocolate, confections, flavoring extracts, soda water, soft drinks and sweet pickles. Among those who will receive their usual amount of sugar are preservers and packers of vegetables, catsup Chili sauce, fruits and milk, manufacturers of jam, jelly and preserves, meat packers, druggists for medical purposes, tobacco, glycerine and explosive manufacturers, apple butter, canners and honey producers. As a special concession to induce dairymen to keep and improve their herds, ice cream-makers will be given their full allotment, but no sugar at all will be allowed for sherbets or ices. All sugar, regardless of the amount allowed by the Food Administration, must be purchased under certificate issued by the government. J. N. Bundick, chairman of sugar distributing committee and sales manager of American Beet Sugar Company, has been made chairman of a newly created sugar division of the Food Administration and will have complete charge of sugar certificates. HOOVER ASKS AMERICA TO SAVE MORE MEAT "Don't make it necessary for us to re-establish meatless days," is the plea which comes from Herbert Hoover to Coloradoans to exert more vigorous efforts to save meat. If American and allied soldiers in the trenches are to be adequately fed, 75,000,000 pounds of meat and meat products must be shipped overseas annually. In spite of this seemingly large amount, the allies have found it necessary to cut the meat ration to one and one-half pounds per week per person. American consumption is three and one-quarter pounds per week. Is it fair? Think it over when you buy your meat for dinner. HOTEL MEN HELP SAVE MORE WHEAT Wheat—much wheat for hungry fighters in France must be saved by Americans between now and harvest time, and hotel men and restaurant-ers are going to help save it. Since May 13, with the exception of Victory and quick breads, no hotel or restaurant in Colorado has served any article of food containing wheat or wheat products on Mondays and Wednesdays—wheatless days—or at "wheatless meals," which in this state are the evening meals of each day. FOOD ADMINISTRATION ADDS NEW DIVISIONS Increased activities and duties have made it necessary for the United States Food Administration for Colorado to add four new departments to its organization within the last week. William D. Tidwell will head the Department of Perishable Fruits and Vegetables; Clarence Adams has been appointed chairman of the Department of Cheese, Poultry, Eggs and Milk; George F. Fry will have charge of the Department of Ice; and H. H. Tompkins, Jr. will conduct a Livestock Survey department. All these departments will deal with the preservation of foodstuffs, investigate prices and adjust differences which may arise between growers, shippers and consignees. Are you an American or are you a slacker? There is no longer any halfway ground in the United States The casualty lists are growing too fast. Either you will support the country in every detail or you will be at least a passive aid to Germany. America must save the wheat to feed the armies and the nations who are fighting Germany and the evil it represents. Those war-torn lands have little wheat of their own. Without it they will fail. In order to meet the demand the people of the United States must cut in half their consumption of wheat flour during the next few months until the new harvest comes in. WASHINGTON GIVES DEALERS RIGHT IN POTATO CONTRACTS Washington has recently granted dealers permission to make contracts with growers on future potato crops. This permission was granted in order to encourage farmers to increase their potato acreage by insuring them of a sale at a fair price at the time of harvest. COLORED WAITERS NEEDED FOR NAVY. The local navy recruiting station has received orders to enlist as many colored men as possible for duties as waiters on board vessels of the navy. Colored waiter, or mess attendants as they are known aboard ship, receive $38.40 per month, with rapid increase in pay for those who are capable. Colored men who enter this branch of the navy are in direct line for promotion to cooks and stewards. If you wish to learn the cooks or stewards trade here is an excellent opportunity COLORADO STATESMAN Registered men may enlist and will be placed in class five of the army draft immediately. Dining car waiters, club, restaurant and hotel waiters are preferred, but any man from 18 to 35 years of age who can present letters showing capability as a waiter may be accepted for the above position. The monthly pay of a married man in this service is $33.40, and far a married man with one child $63.40 to start. There is no better chance for a sober, industrious colored man in any branch of the service.

The singers were under the capable direction of Madam Jen- nie Hicks Lenoir, a Fisk University graduate, who showed marked ability, conception and interpretation of the work they rendered.

Y. M. C, A. GLEE CLUB GIVES AR. TISTIC MUSICAL TREAT AT ZION BAPTIST CHURCH SUNDAY LAST. ‘That this aggregation of voices and strings intend to arouse the dormant musical passion in our city is evi denced by the rendition they gave at zion Baptist church last Sunday even- ing. The church was capacity filled, and the rapt attention of the audi- ence was an indication that their musi- cal souls were being aflamed with ap- preciation that would give physical proof of applause, but as the order of action was the substituting of evening service, regular Divine worship and not a concert, the audience abided the rules of the sacred edifice. Mr. George Gross, in a short address on “The Nation’s. Homage Shall Be Theirs,” gave a few interesting intt- mations of the part we are playing in this, the great world’s conflict and in a neat ten-minute address empha- sized our devotion to our country’s duty, Messy. Hewetson-Watson and Valaurez Spratlin, directors and ac- companist respectively, did their. parts commendably, while Secretary Bell, in his usual forceful, parsonic way, read the Scriptures, and the voices and strings were congratulated for their efforts of a few months. Rev. D. E. Over, being pleased with the attempt, extended an invitation for the future. ‘A splendid offering was taken up. _ ODD FELLOWS THANKSGIVING SERVICE LAST SUNDAY—AN ELABORATE EVENT. HE Odd Fellows of Denver li,od I up to the reputation of the “three-link fraternal —organiza- tion, when they succeeded in surpass: ing all previous efforts of their annual celebration—not in an improvement of the ritualistic form of the ceremony, but in the very noticeable feature of using more of the younger members of the Order to carry out efficiently the program for the duy. Led by the Queen City band the procession under Grand Marshal Joseph D. D. Rivers anarched from their lodge rooms, 2630 Welton street, to Twenty-third street, thence to Shorter Church, where the sisters from the Household of Ruth, presenting a splendid spectacle by their uniformity of dress, etc., joined the procession, The committee of ar- rangements provided a beautiful pro- gram, every item of which was carried out with marked effect and received the highest commendation from the very large congregation, whose inter- est increased with each succeeding number of the program, Miss Bea- trice Stamps, as Mistress of Ceremony, excelled herself. The paper read by ‘Miss Maud Adams gave a graphic de scription of the various phases of the order and specially impressed the au- ditors with the usefulness of the femi- nine auxiliary of the Order, Another paper and instrumental solo by two ju veniles were well received, as also a vocal solo by Mr, Chas. A. Clark, pop: ular tenor. Professor George Morri- son, who possesses musical ability of more than ordinary degree, is becom- ing more proficient in supplying new charms for his audiences in featuring his violin playing, and ably assisted by the rising noted Denver musician, Valaurez Spratlin, whose accompani- ment and interpretation of the various compositions compel the attention of his hearers, contributed in a masterty manner to the success of the program. J, §. Stewart, the chaplain for several years, occupied his position again and with ‘the same deep religious fervor invoked Heaven's continuance of blessings on the Grand United Order. Rey. C, A. Williams, pastor of the chureh, made a stirring appeal for the kind of secret service in Odd Fellow- ship that can withstand the criticism of the world, and impressed his hear- ers to adhere closer to the principles of the order, the same resulting in their becoming beacon lights in the community and helpers in the service of the Master. A splendid Free-Will offering was taken up and presented to the various departments of the chureh, After the closing song, “God Be With You Till We Meet Again,” the procession was reformed and the brethren repaired to their lodge rooms. This event marked the seven- tv-fifth anniversary of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and Den- yer in no small measure subscribed her part nobly in offering thanks for the preservation of the Order for these many years, Continue the good cause is the wish [of THE COLORADO STATESMAN. WAR GARDENS OF GREAT VALUE TO NATION, N the second page of this pa per is to be seen a picture Which must bring home us the help the individual can give to this nation by do ing his or her “bit,” which gets recognition and is credited with the same spirit as the man on the fir ing line, The portraits represent men oft different races and nationalities, each with a determination depicted on his physiognamy to contribute even in this particular to insure victory for our side and success ‘o our arms. These men are business men, very busy as usual, yet they can [ind some time to devote to a war garden, which will help to reduce the con- sumption of the regular food and by this order of conservation, our troops: and those of our allies’ will be weil maintained, This picture, which con | veys the spirit that ought to prevail| in America, shows that it will take| all classes, races and rations to put the world’s foe to flight, and the sooner we stop the measuring of arms with one another and unite our forces to defeat this power of ruth- less ruin and destruction the better it will be for us, Another act which lends beauty to this picvure is the gen- erous nature of the Denver Water Company in supplying the water for these gardens free of charge, the same offering a substantial evidence that there must be a oneness of action and a united front in helping this cause, which merits so much more of our per- sonal efiorts. We are proud of our citizens who have resolved to prove to the world that PRACTICE and not sentiment is the agency that guides them in this bloodiest of all struggles, and the thought permeating all of us at this time is, “All legitimate means will be employed by us for VICTORY OR DEATH.” RS. MARTHA A, SHUTE, No ek ae pert, says: There is great danger in the use of poison of any kind in the War Garden. The results desired can be ob- tained by safe and sane meth- ods. For the protection of the plants from sparrows, one pian is to cover them with mosquito bar, using half hoops with ends stuck in the ground to hold the bar up. Another effective way which worked admirably last year, is to scatter fresh horse manure between the drills or rows in the garden not touching the plants. This will keep the sparrows very busy as they pre- fer this to tender lettuce or beet plants. Last year some gardeners adopted the method of “traps” to catch the sparrows. Some ob- jection might be made to this as all gardeners are not able to dis- tinguish the sparrows from other birds, The sparrow does not eat green food when it can secure anything else. They prefer the garbage can to tender plants. Mrs. Shute emphatically urges people not to use poison to kill out worms which are now cut- ting off cabbage, cauliflower, to- mato and pepper plants. The only sensible protection against these pests is to use paper col- lars. Cut from firm paper (not pasteboard) five by twelve inch- €s, lap three inches and pin. As the plants are being set in the ground, examine the ground for cut worms, then place the collar about the plant setting two inch- es below the surface. Stamp the soil firmly about the collar, Cut worms work at night and remain in hiding during the day. . Under no circumstances use any device made of tin around your plants for it draws the heat will surely scorch or burn and cause the plants to wither and die. This was very much in evidence in the gardens last year through the use of tin cans. It is a good plan to place pieces of board, brick or stiff paste- board on the ground and the worms will crawl under them at daylight and can be destroyed... Never scatter poisoned bran mash around the garden as it is the most dangerous of poisons. The sun hardens it into lumps and not only birds but children and pets might pick it up. DEATH OF MAYOR R. W. SPEER. Denver, May 16, 1918. WHEREAS, This community ~is most deeply afflicted because of the great loss sustained in the untimely death of its distinguished and much beloved mayor, the Hon, R. W. Speer, and WHEREAS, at this time the entire citizenship without thought of nation- ality, race, polities or creed, is coming forward to show some token of re: spect to the memory of its late de parted and most distinguished citizen, and WHEREAS, Mayor Speer, during his career as a public official in this city, did many acts, both private and offi- cial that contributed to the happiness, progress ‘and well-being of our people, the Colored Citizens Non-Partisan League, on behalf of the Negro popu- lation, ‘voice the esteem and respect in which Mayor Speer was held by his Negro friends. Those who have known him best, knew him as an_ honorable and straight-forward official; none too humble, none too poor to get a hearing in the hour of their misfortune and distress when their appeal was made to him.in a frank and truthful state- ment of their wishes and complaints To the Negro people, he was more than an upright public official, often times becoming indulgent that he might unmistakably show his friend- ly interest in the advancement of the Negro people. therefore, be it RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be handed to the public press and that a copy be forwarded to his beloved widow and that a copy be preserved in the archives of the S i | i t We are doing our utmost to serve the public as satisfactorily today as as we did before the war upset the commereial world. In the face of greatly increased costs of material we are endeavoring to maintain our plant at the highest point of efficiency. Despite the high cost of labor, we are maintaining full crews that there may be no part of the work slighted or neglected. While the demands of the signal service of our armies have deprived us of many technically trained men, those who remain have spread out to fill | the gaps by extra effort. In some places congestion has oceurred because we have been unable to secure equipment for relief, but in such cases the traffic is being handled to the full extent of human ability. With the world rocking under the weight of war; with economic condi- tions unsettled and abnormal, we are striving always to coordinate our ef- forts to the great problems involved in the winning of the war. We feel that uninterrupted, efficient telephone service is playing a con- spicuous part in the forces that will bring ultimate victory.

Saturday, June 1, is the date set for the opening of the horse racing season in Denver. A 308-acre ranch in the Harmony district southwest of Fort Collins was sold for $55,000. More than 3,000 square feet of flooring is being relaid in Weld county's new court house. The Burlington depot at Hillrose, in northeastern Morgan county, was destroyed by fire. There are now forty employed garden supervisors in Colorado. Last year there were three. The casualty list given out on the 13th states that Private Henry G. Black of Montezuma died of accident. A total of 157 selective service men from Colorado counties outside of Denver reached Fort Logan Saturday. A Red Cross sale was held at Fort Morgan. One thoroughbred hog sold for $75 and it is estimated the sale raised more than $2,000. A woman was arrested in Eaton for bringing booze into the state. She had a suit-case containing twenty-four pints of whisky when arrested. Red Cross Society of Cañon City in April shipped 15,807 articles, which included 546 that were knitted. Considerable number of these were made by the women in the state prison. Lester March, an 18-year-old boy of Milliken, who enlisted in the U. S. marine corps a year ago, has been wounded while in service on the firing line in France and is in a hospital. Charles B. Patterson, former millionaire owner of "Patterson's place," west of Littleton, died at St. Anthony's hospital in Denver, aged 75 years. Eight years ago he became blind and an invalid. Marked by a parade of clergy, parishioners, G. A. R. veterans and marines through West Denver streets, St. Joseph's parish raised a service flag bearing one gold star and seventy-four blue ones. Forty officers of the Colorado National Guard and 120 sergeants and corporals will go into training during June at the rifle range near Golden, Adjt. Gen. Frank D. Baldwin announced. Transportation conditions in the state are satisfactory, except on the Denver & Salt Lake railroad, Dr. Charles A. Lory reported at last week's meeting of the State Council of Defense. An inspiring spirit was found among Colorado's farmers by Dr. Charles A. Lory on a recent trip. He told the State Council of Defense that the county councils in southwestern counties are doing splendid work. The woman's division of the Colorado conference of war workers held a two-day session in the house of representatives of the Capitol, Mrs. W. H. Kistler, president of the Woman's Council of Defense, presiding. Six hundred men are at work on the $1,700,000 recuperation camp and hospital the government is building on the outskirts of Denver, according to announcement made by Major W. J. Cameron of the quartermaster's building staff. Colorado's population includes 160,000 residents of foreign birth and altogether 230,000 residents of foreign extraction, Prof. George Norlin, chairman of the committee on Americanization of aliens of the State Council of Defense, reports. President Wilson sent the following message to the State War Conference: "May I not express to the war workers of Colorado my profound appreciation of the public spirit that has led you to call a war conference at Denver? In our fight for the rights of free men the world over, your efforts and the efforts of your fellow citizens are a vital factor. Your determination to perform the necessary labor and accept the necessary sacrifice and the like spirit which has now become manifest throughout the nation, reassure a stricken world that our ideals of justice and humanity and liberty shall in the end prevail." The Public Utilities Commission has refused to grant the application of the railroads for a freight rate increase of 10 to 15 cents per ton on coal in Colorado. Morris Emmerson of Fort Collins and Roy Ray of Windsor, split fifty-fifty for the $100 Liberty bond offered for the best article on Liberty Bonds. Definite arrangements have been decided on at Glenwood for the annual celebration of Strawberry day. The date has not been set, but will probably be June 22. There are 160,000 persons in Colorado who were born in foreign countries, according to Prof. George Norlin of the University of Colorado, who has just completed a survey of aliens. He is gathering statistics for use in the Americanization of aliens, a national organization, for which he is the Colorado director. Other figures show that there are 70,000 persons of foreign extraction born in Colorado. "America First" Societies are being formed as one of the means of solving Colorado's problem to make citizens of her aliens. According to the federal figures there are 430,000 acres in wheat in Colorado this May as against 336,000 acres a year ago this time, with the condition of the present crop averaging 92 per cent against 86 per cent last year, and with an estimated production this May of 10,286,000 bushels in comparison to 7,728,000 bushels last May. The state average in 1916 was 6,332,000. The price as given in the report is now $1.93, a drop of 4 cents from the current price of May, 1917, and an increase of $1.07 over the 1910-14 prices. Colorado is to resume its fight in Washington for the establishment by the War Department of the Rocky Mountain National Military highway, according to developments at the state house. Plans of Thomas J. Ehrhart, highway commissioner, include the call for a meeting in Denver, possibly next month, of the commissioners of Montana, Wyoming and New Mexico. The proposed highway extends from Canada to Mexico and is 1,696 miles in length. R. L. Crumley, known to the Pueblo police as Skeets Crumley, received what probably will prove to be a fatal wound when he engaged in an altercation in a roadhouse at Blende, a few miles from Pueblo. Three men whose names the police have been unable to learn, although they have lived in Pueblo for some time, are under arrest, as is also a woman claiming to be Crumley's wife. The Crumleys recently went to Pueblo from Denver. In order to aid in helping win the war in increasing production by helping deserving farmers to secure funds for planting a larger acreage in beans and wheat the livestock and agricultural bureau of the Civic and Commercial Association of Denver voted that at least $40,000 be raised in Denver through the Civic Association to finance increased agricultural production on at least 5,000 acres of Colorado land. Capt. James A. Merritt of the Reserve Officers' Training corps at the Colorado State University has announced that forty-four members will report at the Presidio, Cal., on June 3 to receive intensive training for a period of one month. The Colorado State Agricultural College and the University of Denver will send men. They will serve without pay, but will be allowed traveling expenses. Some idea of the tremendous efficiency of the American Red Cross administration is gained in the statement of John W. Morey, head of the Rocky Mountain division, who states that for every dollar raised in the first drive for $100,000,000 there has been $1.02 available for war relief. As their contribution to Greeley's three-day May Music festival, young women students gave a dance drama followed by a one-act operetta entitled "The Contest of Nations," in which the spirit of fair play sits in judgment upon the folk dances and folk songs of the nations, Columbia, of course, carrying off the prize. By a vote of 78 to 16, farmers of the Henrylyn irrigation district, lying east of Denver near Hudson, reached an agreement to accept a bonded indebtedness of $40 an acre upon their land, thus settling a litigation of some years standing. The Supreme Court granted a review in the case of A. F. Enyart, Ordway banker, who faces a five-year term in prison for killing J. W. Black. He is 70 years old. His bond was fixed at $25,000. M. F. Rose, a merchant of Mansfield, Pa., was instantly killed at Lamar when he became confused and stepped between the baggage car and first coach of a Santa Fé passenger train on which he and his wife had arrived en route to visit his nephew, Assistant City Attorney Rose of Pueblo. His body was practically severed at a point a few inches above the hips. As the Knights Templar of the cruades pressed forward against the oppressors of the middle ages, so symbolically the Knights Templar of today marched for right against the same foe in formal array in the annual Ascension day celebration in Denver. Included in the list of graduates from the third officers' training camp, Fortieth division, Camp Kearny, California, are the names of twenty-two Colorado boys, all listed as eligible for appointment as second lieutenants. The world-old triangle was responsible for another life in Denver when Mrs. Gussie Simms Watson, negress, a bride of three days, was shot and instantly killed by a negro man, identified by persons who saw the shooting as Dennis or Dines Humphrey. With the support of Governor Gunter and Mrs. Mary C. C. Bradford a special course of study on the war is to be established in the seventh and eighth grades of Colorado's schools by Prof. M. F. Libby of the State University. The course will include 115 questions and answers compiled as the result of thousands of inquiries at scores of meetings held by the National Security League throughout the country. It will be the first of its kind in the nation and will be designed for the benefit of both the publs and their parents. The KITCHEN CABINET If our America is to become ever greater and better, her citizens must be loyal, devotedly faithful, in every relation of life.—W. J. Hutchins. GOOD WARTIME DISHES. We cannot say that we are doing our part in food saving and serving unless we waste absolutely nothing. Not a crumb of bread should be wasted. The crumbs that fall from the bread board in cutting bread will amount to at least a teaspoonful from a few slices. Put them in chopped meat, in puddings, in gravies for thickening instead of crumb of bread should be wasted. The crumbs that fall from the bread board in cutting bread will amount to at least a teaspoonful from a few slices. Put them in chopped meat, in puddings, in gravies for thickening instead of wheat flour. Any number of uses will occur to the cook who is trying to save. Veal Sweetbreads. — Sweetbreads spoil quickly and should be used as soon as possible. Plunge them into cold water and let stand an hour, changing the water twice. Put them to cook in slightly salted acidulated water, boiling hot. Cook for thirty minutes rather slowly. Drain, plunge into cold water which keeps them white and firm. Now they may be used in various ways. Liver.—Parboll one pound of beef liver five minutes. Drain. Remove the skin and veins, then brown in a little hot fat, chop, add a fourth of a teaspoonful of mustard, a teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of pepper, a fourth of a teaspoonful of wortcestershire sauce and thicken with a teaspoonful each of butter and flour. Add a hard cooked egg and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Serve on corn dodgers. Corn Dodgers.—Boll together one cupful of milk and water, add a cupful of cornmeal and cook five minutes. Add two well-beaten eggs, two teaspoonfuls of salt and a tablespoonful of fat. Beat thoroughly and bake in a well-greased pan twenty-five minutes in a hot oven. Serve from the dish with a spoon. Brown Stew.—This is a good dish to make a little meat go a long way. Cut a pound of the neck of a beef in inch cubes, season, dredge with flour, brown in fat, then add potato water to cover. When it boils up set it back and let it simmer slowly for three hours. Three-quarters of an hour before the end of the cooking, add carrots and turnips cut in cubes; a half hour before serving add potatoes. Three-fourths or a cupful of each vegetable will be a good proportion. Don't you wish that you might see Spring peep out behind each tree? Don't you wish that you might hear All the brooklets shouting clear? GOOD THINGS WITH BARLEY FLOUR. In many of the darker cakes, using spices, molasses and chocolate, barley flour may be used exclusively in place of the wheat flour. ```markdown ``` Sponge Barley Flour Cake.Beat four egg yolks very light, add one cupful of sugar, beating it in gradually, then add a table-spoonful of hot water, a cupful of barley flour mixed and sifted with one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Fold in the egg whites, beaten stiff, and bake in a slow oven 15 minutes. Plain Barley Cake.—Sift one and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder with two cupfuls of flour, a pinch of salt. Cream a fourth of a cupful of fat, add three-fourths of a cupful of corn srup, a beaten egg, two-thirds of a cupful of milk added alternately with the flour and well beaten. Add a cupful or less of raisins well floured and stirred into the cake. Pour into a shallow pan and bake 20 minutes. Barley and Oatmeal Drop Cakes.—Take a cupful of barley flour, one and a fourth cupfuls of rolled oats that have been well parched and put through the meat grinder, a half a cupful of fat, one-fourth of a cupful of brown sugar, the same of corn srup, one egg, three tablespoonfuls of water, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, with a teaspoonful of salt mixed with the flour, and lastly a half-cupful of nuts. Barley Cakes.—Take two cupfuls of barley flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a half teaspoonful of salt, sifted together. Cream a fourth of a cupful of fat with three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, add a half cupful of milk and three-fourths of a cupful of nut meats. Drop on well-greased pans and bake in a moderate oven. Barley Pie Crust.—Prepare the pastry just as usual, using barley flour instead of wheat. It will be a little harder to handle but will be tender and flaky. A most dalyty pie can be made of custard, using three or four marshmallows to sweeten, and two or three teaspoonfuls of coconut stirred into the meringue instead of the sugar, which does away with using sugar. Nellie Maxwell Among modern Arabians the bridegroom makes the bride presents, which are sent a day or two before the nuptials. As soon as the bride reaches the bridegroom's house she makes him presents of household furniture, a spear and a tent. Western Beef Co. ONE OF THE MOST UP-TO-DATE AND SANITARY MARKETS IN THE CITY.

AN ICELESS REFRIGERATOR FOR SUMMER DAYS 1 Wooden Frame Covered With Screen Wire and Canton Flannel or Burlap Makes This Refrigerator—(Left) Framework; (Right) Completed Convenience. DEVICE TO KEEP FOOD IN SUMMER Evaporation of Water From Cloth Cover Is Cooling Principle of Refrigerator. COOLER FOR DRINKING WATER Temperature of 50 Degrees F. Possible Under Ideal Conditions—Place for Meats, Fruits, Vegetables, Milk and Butter. Where ice is not obtainable an iceless refrigerator, home-made, will be a useful food keeper and food saver this summer. Maintaining a low temperature through the evaporation of water from its canvas cover, the iceless refrigerator will keep meats, fruits and vegetables cool and will extend the period for keeping milk and butter. It can also serve as a cooler for drinking water. Separate Refrigerators. In homes where large quantities of milk and butter are to be kept it would be well to have one refrigerator for milk and butter and another for other foods, as milk and butter readily absorb odors from other foods. It costs very little to build the refrigerator and nothing to operate it. The operation is as simple as the construction. The upper pan should be kept filled with water. The water is drawn by capillary attraction through the wicks and saturates the cover. As evaporation takes place heat is taken from the inside of the refrigerator, thereby lowering the temperature of the inside and the contents. Capillary action starts more readily if the cover is first dampened by dipping it in water or throwing water upon it. The greater the rate of evaporation the lower the temperature which can be secured; therefore the refrigerator works best when rapid evaporation takes place. When the refrigerator is placed in a shady place in a strong breeze and the air is warm and dry, evaporation takes place continuously and rapidly and the temperature inside the refrigerator is reduced. Under ideal conditions the temperature has been known to be reduced to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. When it is damp, and the air is full of moisture, the refrigerator will not work as well, since there is not enough evaporation. More water will find its way to the lower pan, but it will be drawn up into the covering by capillary attraction when the air again becomes drier. The refrigerator should be regularly cleaned and sunned. If the framework, shelves and pans are white enameled they can more easily be kept in a sanitary condition. It is well to have two covers, so that a fresh one can be used each week and the soiled one washed and sunned. Some Fireless Specialties. Here are some things that can be cooked well in the fireless cooker: Cereals—Prepare as for the stove, but use one-sixth less water. Boll for ten minutes, or longer with coarser cereals. Place in the cooker boiling hot and leave six or eight hours or over night. Meats—Buy cheaper cuts. The fireless can make tough meat tender. Creole Stew. 1 pound lean beef or 1/4 cupful rice. 1 medium fowl. 2 cupful cornmeats. 1 cupful cornmeats or 1 tablespoonful fat. okra cut small. 1 teaspoonful salt. 1 cupful chopped sweet peppers. Cut the meat in small pieces or cut the fowl into joints. Melt the fat, add the onions, peppers, meat or chicken. Brown for a few minutes. Put in cooking vessel with seasoning, rice, vegetables and one cupful boiling water. Simmer for one-half hour and put in fireless for three hours without the disks or two hours with them. With chicken and okra this is the famous creole chicken of the South. Roasts—Sear the roast, season, place in the cooking vessel between two hot disks. Do not add water. Allow 25 minutes per pound. Soup stock—Cut up meat, crack bones, and cover with cold water. Let it reach the boiling point, then place in cooker for several hours. Dried fruits and vegetables—Peas, beans, corn, dried fruit—soak in water until restored to the original size. Boll a few minutes and then keep in cooker six to twelve hours. Baked beans or peas are especially good cooked in the fireless. For more recipes send to the department of agriculture for Farmers' Bulletin 771, "Home-Made Fireless Cookers and Their Use." HOW TO CONSTRUCT AN ICELESS REFRIGERATOR A wooden frame is made with dimensions 42 by 16 by 14 inches and covered with screen wire, preferably the rustless type, which costs little more than the ordinary kind. The door is made to fit closely and is mounted on brass hinges, and can be fastened with a wooden latch. The bottom is fitted solid, but the top should be covered with screen wire. Adjustable shelves can be made of solid wood or strips or sheets of galvanized metal. Shelves made of poultry netting on light wooden frames, as shown in the illustration, are probably the most desirable. These shelves rest on side braces placed at desired intervals. A bread baking pan, 14 by 16 inches, is placed on the top and the frame rests in a 17 by 18-inch pan. All the woodwork, the shelves and the pans should receive two coats of white paint and one or two coats of white enamel. This makes a very attractive surface and one that can be easily kept clean. The screen wire also may receive the coat of enamel, which will prevent it from rusting. A cover of canton flannel, burlap or duck is made to fit the frame. Put the smooth side out if canton flannel is used. It will require about three yards of material. This cover is buttoned around the top of the frame and down the side on which the door is not hinged, using buggy hooks and eyes or large-headed tacks and eyelets worked in the material. On the front side arrange the hooks on the top of the door, instead of on the frame, and also fasten the cover down the latch side of the door, allowing a wide hem of the material to overlap the place where the door closes. The door can then be opened without unbuttoning the cover. The bottom of the cover should extend down into the lower pan. Four double strips, which taper to 8 or 10 inches in width, are sewed to the upper part of the cover. These strips form wlicks that dip over into the upper pan. The dimensions given make a refrigerator of very convenient size for household use and one with efficient, evaporating surface, but it is not necessary to follow strictly these dimensions.

M'ADOO MAY NOT APPROVE IT Report of Commission Submitted to Director General Results in Protest From Four Principal Broth- Washington, D. C., May 9.—Railroad employees to the number of 1,939,399 will receive wage advances ranging from 1 to 43 per cent to the lowest paid workers, the total aggregating $300,000,000, according to the report of the railroad wage commission submitted to Director General McAdoo. Mr. McAdoo is expected to adopt only part of the recommendations and probably will make a number of different alignments in deciding what wage increases shall be granted. In general, the director general advocates higher pay for most classes of workmen to enable them to meet increased living costs, but he has been represented as favoring proportionately larger increases for some classes than for others now making the same pay. He also is strongly opposed to granting wage increases which might disarrange the general scheme of pay existing throughout other industries. Leaders to Protest The leaders of the four principal railway brotherhoods found on examining the report that they had been recommended for less than half the increases they had asked of the railroad management before government control started and which they repented before the commission. Their demands had been for an average of somewhat less than 40 per cent, and increases for them average less than 20 per cent. Some union leaders who anticipated that the commission's recommendations would not be for as great amounts as they had asked already have appealed to Director General McAdoo to amend the proposed scale to give them higher pay. Others, however, virtually have agreed to accept the report. The wage advances, which range all the way from $1 to $34 a month, are increases above the amount of pay each employee was receiving on December 31, 1915. Employees who have received advances since that date will benefit now to the extent of the difference between their present wage and that fixed by the wage commission. The net cost of the additional pay FROM ALL OVER The manufacture of porcelain pyrometer tubes is a new industry.

This is exclusive of the estimated deficit of $800,000,000 in government operation of the railroads this year, as a result of which Director General McAdoo contemplates advancing passenger rates at least 2½ per cent and freight rates possibly as much as 15 per cent. Do You Know That— Based on Living Cost. The scheme of wage advances adopted is based on an inquiry into the cost of living, which the commission found has increased approximately 40 per cent to the average railroad employee receiving $85 a month. The commission favors a shorter average workday, presumably eight hours, but decided that in the war emergency the nation could not afford to put into effect a reform that would slow down the war machinery and discriminate against other classes of workers being called upon for great sacrifices. The COLORADO STATESMAN Rates of overtime pay are not disturbed and the increases are adjusted to the mileage basis of compensation of some employees, a road engineer, for example, receiving an increase of $11 \%$ per cent in his mileage rate. A scheme of applying the increases to piece work and overtime therefor is also provided. IS PREPARED TO DO ALL KINDS OF An important feature of the report was the recommendation that where the same service is rendered the pay shall be the same, without discrimination as to sex or race. JOB PRINTING The report of the commission, consisting of Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior; Charles C. McChord, J. Harry Covington, and William R. Willcox, is an exhaustive one. In part the report says: "The requests which have come to us for wage increases, would, if fully granted, involve an additional outlay in wages of somewhat over $1,000,000-000 per year in excess of the wage fund of last year, which exceeded $2,000,000,000. Some asked for an increase of 100 per cent in their pay, and from this they graduated downward to 10 per cent. None were satisfied with their present wages.

Afternoon Frock of Two Materials 1 Red Cross Clippings is the title of a small paper published in Philadelphia, to help make the work of the Pennsylvania division efficient and further the usefulness of the American Red Cross in war and civilian relief. Here are two intensely interesting items from its publication of March 30, which will make every member of the American Red Cross proud of this marvelous organization and more anxious than ever to work for it: Home Service Grows. "Like young David Copperfield, home service has 'grew out o' knowledge' since the first of the year. At the end of January, home service sections in the Pennsylvania division were giving help of one kind and another to more than 2,000 soldiers' and sailors' families, and at the end of February the number of families had increased to 4,500. "This increase in numbers is, in a way, a measure of the increase of confidence in the ability of the Red Cross to help solve family problems, and it also shows that the Red Cross is proving worthy of the confidence and reliance that soldiers and their families place in them. The following letter to the division director of civilian relief shows how Red Cross home service Afternoon Frock The path of designers, who are always looking for something new and beautiful, has been made much easier than usual this season. Contributions of two materials, or two kinds of one material, in a single garment account for it. The spring and summer styles were inaugurated by displays that featured these contributions and we have benefited by them in several ways—in inexpensive and original frocks that are attractive, and in remodeled dresses that double the length of service of at least one of the fabrics used in them. The styles never favored the remodeling of frocks more than they do now. Usually a sheer material like chiffon cloth, georgette crepe, volle or net is made up with a heavier goods and the refinement of these sheer fabrics lends tone to others as familiar and commonplace as serge or gingham. This makes them an immensely valuable resource of the professional and the home dressmaker. There is no end to the ways in which materials have been combined in coats and frocks. Volle and gingham, georgette and satin, chiffon cloth and light woolens have proved so successful that they promise a long reign of combinations in the realm of fashions. The afternoon gown pictured here shows how well suited to each other satin and georgette are in fashioning a lovely and simple frock. One is as important as the other in the design; half the skirt is of satin and half of crepe and their honors are even in the bodice also. The sleeves are of crepe with deep cuffs of satin. Wherever the two materials are brought together they are joined by a band of embroidery in a scroll and flower pattern, made with long, quickly placed stitches of heavy embroidery silk. No dress could present fewer difficulties to the home dressmaker. When gingham and fine cotton volle are used together, hemstitching, very narrow crochet or cluny lace, or tatting are effective for joining them. There is much joy in a made-over frock that --- workers are helping to keep up the spirit of the men in the army: "Just a line to let you know that I received your letter, notifying me that the — Red Cross would look after my wife and children, which takes a load off my shoulders and makes me look at my duties and the future with a brighter eye, eager to strike the foe and win, knowing that no matter what happens my family will not suffer through my not waiting to be called. If I had been single I would have been in it at the start, but I guess there's lots of fun yet. So thanking you again for the promptness you have shown, I will close with best wishes to you and the work you have undertaken. "Sincerely yours, "PRIVATE ROBERT DUNCAN. A Worried Soldier is a Poor Soldier, A Worried Soldier Is a Poor Soldier. "Soldiers have bodies that get cold; therefore they need sweaters; they get hurt or sick, therefore they need surgical dressings; but they have also minds and hearts that center on the folks back home; they become anxious and discouraged about the welfare of wives, children, mothers, brothers, sisters. 'A worried soldier is a poor soldier,' says General Pershing. The Red Cross can help to keep up the morale of the men by protecting and alding their families." of Two Materials has lost all trace of "last year" in its remodeling, and the styles favor the thrifty-minded who undertake to make the best of them. Julia Bottomley There are dress economists who believe the resuscitation of the short sleeve forecasts a saving of material. Perhaps. But, on the other hand, there are any number of women who will fight shy of the coquettish little sleeve that terminates its brief career somewhere between elbow and shoulder. To them it means the addition of long gloves or the adoption of a guimpe with net, lace or organdie under sleeve showing below the gown sleeve. And gloves cannot be put in the category of reasonable adjuncts—no, not even if one is willing to forego kid, and substitute silk or cotton. Hats of Fabric. Fabrics are greatly used by the milliners, and whole hats, crowns and brims are fashioned of georgette crepe, chiffon, satin, tulle or whatever the designer happens to fancy. Georgette and crepe de chine are, perhaps, more used than any of the other materials, always excepting nets and laces, and a hat entirely covered with crepe and showing straw only in the facing of the brim is sometimes untrimmed, save for a drapery and a knot of the crepe. Lovely colored silks are used for the draped toques which are so much in vogue. Taffeta and Satin. In the moderate-priced frocks everywhere the demand for taffeta persists, but in high-priced gowns satin seems to have the greater popularity. Georgette Crepe Combinations. Many afternoon gowns are seen with taffeta and georgette crepe combinations. Satins are more exclusive. FRANK S. REED, Licensed Embalmer and Director Lady Assistant. Polite Service to all.
