LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY THE TASK SET OUR CORPS OF PATRIOTIC SPEAKERS VOL. XXIV. OME of our contemporaries have been worried over the great task facing our corps of speakers designated by the War Department to arouse a higher tide of patriotism among the twelve million of colored citizens of our land. There is no doubt of the patriotism of the dark-skinned subjects of Uncle Sam. Love of country is as deep-seated and as immovable in the hearts of America's sable sons as in the hearts of her citizens of boasted Caucasian lineage. Even down in the prejudice-cursed confines of the Southland the brother-in-black loves the land of his birth. The nightingale singing in notes divine sets atune a responsive chord in his sad heart that leaps and longs for freedom as dearly beloved as human being has ever felt since the sweetness and peace of Eden faded in the distant days of vore. The sun rises from the blue tinted waters of old Dixie's lakes or soildy streams and sets beyond its green-clad hills or rugged brows of rock-ribbed mountains with rainbow tints and red-gold gleams and calls for the same God-planted admiration from the depths of the soul of the black son as from him of whiter hue. The drowsy hum of the thrifty bee midst the flowering buds of field and dell, the sweet laden air charged with the odor of jessamine or magnolia lifts the eyes of the black to the blue vault of the same heaven that covers his brother-in-white and he breathes the free ozone that God gave and forgives at lenst for the time being, the injustice of his oppressors. He loves the wife, the child, the fields of golden grain, the thatch-roofed cottage or the grander home wherein he dwells, he loves the woods, the plains, the mountains, the river and the dells, yea, he loves the land of his birth, he loves it well. Does the proud oppressor love it more or can his spirit rise to higher heights than black men may attain? The patriotism of the sable sons of America is as deep-rooted as its rock-ribbed hills, as undying as the pale moon beams soft lights that play upon the sands of her ocean-kissed shores. He has never betrayed the trust of the land that called him slave, nor has the assassin's mark upon his brow e'er shown him a graceless knave. But while he loves the land that gave him birth and served him well, the men who lured his ancestors to these shores have spoiled the beauty of his dream with scenes borrowed from the depths of hell. He does not love the brutes in human form that rape, lynch, murder and defame, nor can he ever love those fiends that consign his loved ones to the flame. He loves his friends, be they black or white, their rights he will defend, he'll die their honor to maintain, his country's call he will obey, but he too must be free. Tis hard to sing a song of peace when bitterness assails the heart, 'tis hard to smile a gleam of joy when injustice bids you frown. We love the land, we love our homes, we love the friends that bid us hope. We love the noble band of whites for thousands are our friends, we were patriots in the darker days, we'll be patriots to the end. But ere the cause of right is won, ere the world has answered to the call of human brotherhood, the walls of hatred must be levelled to the dust and as charity begins at home, so must the foul, unreasoning curse of racial hate be banished from our midst and in the land of new-born hope, Democracy must not be a myth. We ask no special favors, we seek no special rights but while we raise our voices for the cause of world-wide freedom we must see the dawn of hope across our own dark night. Can we speak in clarion tones or sound the harp of praise with the memory of the jim-crow car still before our gaze? Can we call our brothers to the strife to fight for others' rights to make the world a safe place to live in, while on our memories is pictured a tree limb and a rope; can we paint a scene of freedom with beauty all serene when within our mental vision is a dark forbidding scene? A scene of dancing, gleeful devils, fiends from the pit of heil dancing around a stake-chained victim, crazed by their murderous yells. Tortured by hot irons and the flames worse than our pictures of hell. These are the major wrongs we would have righted, these are some of our just complaints, we have lesser ones in the Northland as unjust, we know all black men are not perfect but we know there are no white salaints. We ask but a measure of justice, that measure that is every man's due, we ask but a fair trial, we ask it, our country, from you. Until it is granted we'll raise our voices on high, we'll fight for the cause of America and thousands of the black boys will die, but we'll never cease to demand justice till the maker of justice is dead and we live in the hope that He still lives and no matter how long it may be, we know that the giver of justice has ordained that all men shall be free. That means the black men of America as well as the serfs beyond the sea.—Philadelphia Tribune. WHY WE CELEBRATE JULY 4 WHY WE CELEBRATE JULY 4 TODAY, we Americans celebrate the birthday of our United States, July 4, 1776. Three hundred years after this country was discovered Americans gave to the world the Declaration of Independence. Today we Americans are reminded of the truths of the Declaration of Independence and we consider why our country and its laws were established. The Declaration of Independence is as dear to the hearts of all true Americans as the Sermon on the Mount is to all Christians. One hundred and fifty years ago the people of America were governed by a king who treated the Americans as though they had no rights which he was bound to respect. After years of unjust treatment these Americans DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 6 1918 united for the purpose of being independent and free as a nation. On July 4, 1776, America gave to the world the Declaration of Independence. Time will not permit me to read the Declaration of Independence. However, I shall read you the most important part, the foundation on which this government was built, the ideal of the American people. In the Declaration of Independence, we find these words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights (that is, rights which men themselves cannot give away or take); that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." The Declaration of Independence gave notice to the world that the United States, consisting of the thirteen states, took its place among the nations of the earth as an independent people or nation. The Declaration of Independence states that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness belong to each human being, and that only the Creator can take these rights away. When the Golden Rule is written in the souls of men, then and not until then will our government attain these ideals. The supreme law of our land, the Constitution of the United States, begins with these words: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Thus a democracy was established—a government where laws are made by the people themselves. The citizens of this country have tried and are still trying to perfect their laws so as to give to each citizen full life, liberty and freedom. It is the opinion of the majority of the citizens—public opinion—which becomes the law of our country. The United States is today a free nation, in which every citizen has the right and opportunity to direct his own life. July 4th, Americans assemble to celebrate the birth of the United States and again pledge themselves to live up to their Declaration of Independence. This Fourth of July, 1918, with the Germans threatening the life of the nation, every man, black and white, must pledge his loyalty by work, and not by words. Go to your history and read how man in the dim ages of the past created the first democracy—a government in which the people made their own laws. You will read of the trials and tribulations which races of people as well as nations have suffered as they tried first this and then that form of government. All the time they were trying to make a better democracy. Some succeeded; some failed. Many times it looked as though their efforts were useless and they would never gain that freedom they now possess. As you read, you will be surprised that man was not discouraged in his efforts to have a government in which all men should be free and have justice. The spirit of freedom which is in the souls of men cannot be killed, for it goes marching on and on more determined than ever in spite of all opposition, discouragement and failure. This idea of freedom, which was God-given to man, was not appreciated until His Son came to set up His kingdom in the hearts of men. Man has been trying ever since to have the kingdom come on earth, as it is in his soul. From one country to another, from the East to the West, the idea of freedom marched until it reached the shores of America; and today, after thousands of years of suffering and sacrifice, man has set up in these United States a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Our President Wilson calls on all American citizens to celebrate the birth of freedom and liberty for the entire world. He says: "As July 4th, 1776, was the dawn of democracy for this nation, let us on July 4, 1918, celebrate the birth of a new and greater spirit of democracy, by whose influence we hope and believe that what the signers of the Declaration of Independence dreamed of for themselves and their fellow countrymen shall be fulfilled for all mankind." The appeal of President Wilson that the world be made safe for free men is the world's Declaration of Independence. Miss Mary White Ovington Speaks at Women's Convention July 11 Miss Mary White Ovington Speaks at Women's Convention July 11 MISS MARY WHITE OVINGTON, acting chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will be in attendance at the Convention of the National Association of Colored Women to be held in Denver July 8 to July 13, inclusive. Miss Ovington will speak during the session on July 11. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just completed a drive for members as a tribute to the national president of the association, Mr. Moorfield Storey, the distinguished Boston lawyer. The tribute given Mr. Storey in the unique form of a drive for members for the association was occasioned by the winning last November by the unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court of the so-called Louisville segregation case, the Supreme Court in that case deciding that all ordinances for the purpose of segregating Negroes in separate residential sections in cities of the country are unconstitutional. The association announces that on April 15 it had approximately 10,000 members in the country as a whole. At the present time, as a result of the drive's the association's membership has increased to approximately 35,000, distributed among 117 active branches located in all the principal cities of the country, from Boston on the east to San Francisco and Los Angeles on the west, from St. Paul and Minneapolis in the north to Louisiana and Texas cities in the southern states, and with one branch in the Panama Canal, zone. Miss Ovington was one of the three founders of the Association which dates from 1909. Her interest in the uplift of colored people has been continuous from that time onward. At the time of the Association's origin Miss Ovington had been for four years RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources COLONEL YOUNG VISITS WAR DEPARTMENT. Washington, D.

POWDER COMPANY'S WAITERS GET A RAISE Kervil, N, J.-The colored waiters employed by the Hercules Powder company demanded an increase in salary on Wednesday, June 19. Under the leadership of one of their number, they sent their demands to the general manager, who was at first reluctant to grant them. The men stuck together, and when he saw they were ready to leave in a body, no one backing out, he readily granted the demand. The men are mostly young men and they agreed as one to abide by any agreement reached through their chairman. GIVE GOVERNMENT AN AMBULANCE The Ambulance Unit of the Circle for Negro War Relief, has just donated a U. S. Standard Ambulance to the government to be sent to France for the use of members of the 367th Infantry. Receipt in full from the General Motors company and acknowledgment from the Medical Department of the government accepting the gift on behalf of the United States brought much joy to the band of energetic and faithful workers who have several months labored under trying conditions to raise the necessary $2,146. The chairman of the unit and associates experienced no easy task raising the amount through small subscriptions. "WORLD" DISCONTINUES USE OF "DARKIES." The New York World, which has the largest circulation of any morning paper in New York, has promised to discontinue the use of the term "darkies." In a letter to Lester A. Walton, managing editor of The Age, who informed the editors of the daily that colored Americans did not take kindly to the terms in print, C. M.

She was the first headworker of the Greenpoint, N. Y., Settlement, is now the President of the Lincoln Settlement for Colored People, Brooklyn, N. Y., and is author of two volumes dealing with the Negro, "Half a Man," and "Hazel." In her study of Race problems Miss Ovington has spent many months in out of the way places in the rural South and in the West Indies. She is the direct descendant of a New England Abolition family. The Association is engaged in an active campaign against lynching and mob violence, against discrimination of all kinds on account of color and against disfranchisement in the Southern states. The association is deeply interested in the welfare of the colored soldiers, is promoting the War Savings Stamp campaign among colored people, and expects soon to engage in some specific form of War Camp Community Service throughout the country.

Lakewood, N. J.—Members of Lakewood Society Circle gave a warm welcome Tuesday evening to the colored soldiers who have been sent to Base Hospital No. 9 here, after seeing service in France. They were made the heroes of the day. The soldiers attended with their best girls and were delighted with expressions of the good will of the people of the community. Mrs. Jasper Lynch of Lynx Hall supplied a supper at one of her private homes. The spacious Madison avenue house was thrown open to the boys and presented a maze of patriotic trimmings. Young girls, members of the colored churches, were dressed in red cloth uniforms and served at tables decorated with the national colors of all the Allies. At the conclusion of the feast each soldier was presented with several packages of cigarettes and a box of candy. At the Ferber theater Mrs. Lynch provided six boxes which were decorated with the national colors. WAR 'DEPARTMENT WILL BROOK NO DISCRIMINATION. All Cases of Alleged Unfairness Reported Will Be Fully Investigated—Secretary Baker Says "Any Wrong Done Will Be Righted." Washington, D. C., July 1.—The War Department has made it clear that it will tolerate no discrimination against colored draftees by the local draft boards in any section of the country and that cases of alleged unfairness will be fully investigated and corrected by the departmental authorities. Secretary of War Newton D. Baker, in a recent interview, speaking with reference to alleged discrimination against colored draftees, said, in part: "I have heard that draft boards in adjoining counties take a different view of practically identical facts with regard to colored men; but the answer In all these cases is that a review is provided directly by the President, and all that is necessary for anybody to do who thinks there is a grievance, is to point it out to the War Department, and it will be investigated. It the draft boards act unfairly, we will correct their action. "The War Department will brook no discrimination, and any cases of alleged or suspected discrimination brought to our attention will be investigated, and any wrong done will be righted." > 4 e i x ee ‘ oa er se es 2? e ol A ae ' a #3 E @ f Denver Colo Failure to comply with the order of J..N.

A ) | To the Citizens of Our Beloved Colorado: I have been deeply and profoundly moved and gratified at the request and persistent solicitation of numerous friends and acquaintances throughout this state that I become a candidate for the high office of governor of Colo- rado at the ensuing campaign. On Tuesday last, | finally consented that my name should be submitted to the State Republican Assembly at Colorado Springs, July 16, 1918, and I bespeak your favorable consideration, not only at the above mentioned assembly, but at the state-wide primaries thereafter. I desire the Republican nomination for the office of Governor of the State of Colorado. I want to be the next Governor of our State. I therefore at this time candidly ask all of you, the voters of this splendid state, to con- sider my candidacy and if you believe I am worthy of your confidence and esteem and of being entrusted with the care and responsibility of that high office, vote for me—otherwise, I beg and urge you not to do so, Do your duty. as citizens, follow the dictates of your consciences; you then.need have no fear, let the results be what they may. Among the observations and principles that meet with my approval, are the following: The civilized world today stands aghast at the awfulness of this brutal and inhuman war now being waged. Had we not joined and fought with our allies, eventually we would have been compelled to fight Germany alone. Our beloved country is the beacon light of struggling human-kind. To us they look for relief. Sad indeed, that we were not long ago thoroughly pre- pared, Let us now bend every energy, mental, physical and spiritual, to end this ‘war at the earliest day and when we, in conjunction with our splendid allies, have won the war, let there be no peace save that which shall be worthy of the dignity and righteousness of our cause—one that will sound forever the death knell of tyranny and the foree of fiends, and herald aloft and around the world peace and good will that will make this world what God designed it to be—a fitting place for the home of man. Looking back over the history of our nation, I am a firm believer in Republican principles, and that to cope successfully with after-war con- ditions, the protecting power of those principles alone will be equal to the demand. The workers who produce the wealth of the country deserve the country’s best and must have its solicitous care. In return, they will make the nation’s prosperity tower to the skies. Let us make Colorado a place of happy homes. This war has taught us our national shortcomings; here- after we must have our own merchant marine to flood the ports of the world with our products. We-must manufacture for the world and not the world manufacture for us. Our country, and particularly Colorado, must and shall be a beehive of industry and the worker who produces shall be able to lead a life worth living, Capital and labor are arms of the same great producing power and cach must help the other in unity and in peace that each may reap earth’s greatest rewards. Bring the factories to Colorado. Have profitable employment for all. If it be said that Colorado cannot become a great manufacturing state, let us find out why and remove the cause. Let us make the world a better place in which to live; be more constructive and find fewer faults. We must have stricter immigration laws. Let us petition our represen- tatives in Congress therefor.

Let us have fewer, but better laws. Let us have the greatest economy commensurate with due progress and the demands of our people. In conclusion, I shall only say that if I am successful in my candidacy, I pledge myself, here and now, to do all that lies in my power in every legiti- mate way and manner to advance the real and true interests of the entire people of our State, without fear, partiality or favor, and to this end I shall always ask for your co-operation, counsel and advice.

CAN BE NO COMPROMISE SOUNDS DEATH KNELL OF MILI TARISM, AS HE PLEDGES U. S. TO ABOLISH IT. Western Newpaper Union News Service. Mount Vernon, Va.—President Wilson on July 4 pledged the United States to fight on against the Teuton menace until a "final settlement" is achieved. There can be "no compromise," he said. "No half way decision would be tolerable. Before a notable international gathering at the tomb of Washington, here he spoke "proudly and with confident hope" for the liberation of the nations afflicted by the "blinded rulers" of Prussia. He defined the ends to which, not America alone, but "the associated peoples of the world," are fighting, and declared for a knockout of "every arbitrary power anywhere than can, of its single choice, disturb the peace of the world." The text of his address follows: "Gentlemen of the diplomatic corps and my fellow citizens: "I am happy to draw apart with you to this quiet place of old counsel in order to speak a little of the meaning of this day of our nation's independence. The place seems very still and somber. It is as serene and untouched by the hurry of the world as it was in those great days long ago when Gen. Washington was here and held leisurely conference with the men who were to be associated with him in the creation of a nation. Washington Acted for People. "From these gentle siopes they looked out upon the world and saw it whole, saw it with the light of the future upon it, saw it with modern eyes that turned away from a past which men of liberated spirits could no longer endure. It is for that reason that we cannot feel, even here, in the immediate presence of this sacred tomb, that this is a place of death. It was a place of achievement. A great promise that was meant for all mankind was here given plan and reality. The associations by which we are here surrounded are the inspiring associations of that notable death which is only a glorious consummation. From this green hillside we also ought to be able to see with comprehending eyes the world that lies about us, and should conceive anew the purposes that must set men free. "It is significant—significant of their own character and purpose, and of the influences they were setting afoot — that Washington and his associates, like the barons at Runnymede, spoke and acted, not for a class, but for a people. It has been left for us to see to it that it shall be understood that they spoke and acted not for a single people only, but for all mankind. "They were thinking, not of themselves and of the material interests which centered in the little groups of landholders and merchants and men of affairs, with whom they were accustomed to act, in Virginia and the colonies to the north and south of here, but of a people who wished to be done with classes and special interests and the authority of men whom they had not themselves chosen to rule over them. They entertained no private purpose, desired no peculiar privilege. They were consciously planning that men of every class should be free and America a place to which men out of every nation might resort who wished to share with them the rights and privileges of free men. For Liberties for All. "And we take our cue from them—do we not? We intend what they intended. We here in America believe our participation in this present war to be only the fruitage of what they planted. Our cause differs from theirs only in this—that it is our inestimable privilege to concert with men out of every nation what shall make not only the liberties of America secure, but the liberties of every other people as well. We are happy in the thought that we are permitted to do what they would have done in our place. There must now be settled once for all what was settled for America in the great age upon whose inspiration we draw today. This is surely a fitting place from which calmly to look out upon our task, that we may fortify our spirits for its accomplishment. "And this is the appropriate place July 4 Given World-Wide Honor. In all the allied countries and their colonies the American Independence day was observed in an unprecedented manner. In London and the large cities of England there were special exercises. Even the small towns joined in honoring the United States; in France the people of Paris and a great many other cities entered into the observance of the day with their proverbial enthusiasm, and elaborate programs were carried out from which to avow, alike to the friends who looked on and to the friends with whom we have the happiness to be associated in action, the faith and purpose with which we all act. "This, then, is our conception of the great struggle in which we are engaged. The plot is written plainly upon every scene and every act of the supreme tragedy. On the one hand stand the peoples of the world—not only the peoples actually engaged, but many others also who suffer under mastery but cannot act, peoples of many races, and in every part of the world—the people of stricken Russia still, among the rest, though they are for the moment unorganized and helpless. "Opposed to them, masters of many armies, stand an isolated, friendless group of governments who speak no common purpose but only selfish ambitions of their own by which none can profit but themselves and whose peoples are fuel in their hands—the governments which fear their people and yet are for the time their sovereign lords, making every choice for them and disposing of their lives and fortunes as they will, as well as of the lives and fortunes of every people who fall under their power—governments clothed with the strange trappings and the primitive authority of an age that is altogether alien and hostile to our own. The past and the present are in deadly grapple and the peoples of the world are being done to death between them. Settlement Must Be Final. "There can be but one issue. The settlement must be final. There can be no compromise. No half-way decision would be tolerable. No half-way decision is conceivable. These are the ends for which the associated peoples of the world are fighting and which must be conceded them before there can be peace. "First—The destruction of every arbitrary power anywhere that can separately, secretly and of its single choice, disturb the peace of the world; or, if it cannot be presently destroyed, at the least its reduction to virtual impotence. "Second—The settlement of every question, whether of territory, of sovereignty, of economic arrangement, or of political relationship, upon the basis of the free acceptance of that settlement by the people immediately concerned and not upon the basis of the material interest or advantage of another nation or people which may desire a different settlement for the sake of its own interior influence or master. "Third—The consent of all nations to be governed in their conduct towards each other by the same principles of honor and of respect for the common law of civilized society that govern the individual citizens of all modern states in their relations with one another; to that end all promises and covenants may be sacredly observed, no private plots or conspiracies hatched, no selfish injuries wrought with impunity, and a mutual trust established upon the handsome foundation of a mutual respect for right. "Fourth—The establishment of an organization of peace which shall make it certain that the combined power of free nations will check every invasion of right and serve to make peace and justice the more secure by affording a definite tribunal of opinion to which all must submit and by which every international readjustment that cannot be amicably agreed upon by the peoples directly concerned shall be sanctioned. "These great objects can be put into a single sentence. What we seek is the reign of law, based upon the consent of the governed and sustained by the organized opinion of mankind. Blinded Rulers Arouse Unseen Forces "These great ends cannot be achieved by debating and seeking to reconcile and accommodate what statesmen may wish, with their projects for balances of power and of national opportunity. They can be realized only by the determination of what the thinking people of the world desire, with their longing hope for justice and for social freedom and opportunity. "I can fancy that the air of this place carries the accents of such principles with a peculiar kindness. There were started forces which the great nation against which they were primarily directed at first regarded as a revolt against its rightful authority but which it has long since seen to have been a step in the liberation of its own people as well as the people of the United States; and I stand here now to speak—speak proudly and with confident hopes—of the spread of this revolt, this liberation, to the great stage of the world itself.** "The blinded rulers of Prussia have roused forces they knew little of—forces which, once roused, can never be crushed to earth again, for they have at their heart an inspiration and a purpose which are deathless and of the very stuff of triumph." Washington.—More than 2,000,000 men will be in France before the first of the year, if present War Department hopes are realized. Secretary of War Baker makes no predictions lest unforeseen difficulties disappoint the nation. But other department officials said they could see no reason at present why the 2,000,000 figure should not be exceeded—perhaps to the extent of 675,000 or more. Others would not be surprised if the 2,750,000 mark were attained. Western Newspaper Union News Service. July 22—Democratic State Assembly in Denver.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN Increases in freight rates for the hauling of wheat will not affect the price paid Colorado wheat growers for their produce, according to the interpretation placed by Denver food administration officials on a telegram received from the food administration at Washington.

(OO ee to this country of the great work being done by the American army in France, and the special commendation of the Negro troops by French and American generals ought to lend no small en- couragement to the men who are soon to be drafted and offer a great in- spiration to the 70,000 of our black men who are soon to be called upon to go “over there and not come back, ‘til it’s over Over there.” “They fought like veterans, as good as the best; strict obedience to command with a de- termination to win that strengthens the morale of the whole army;" these and other expressions come from the generals who have keenly observed the fighting spirit and quality of the Negro soldier. Nor is this all, as he has a two fold purpose in fighting something beyond his white comrades’ conception: the freedom of the world and the permanent removal of the bar- riers which for centuries made him accursed and inferior to his COLOR— FORTUNED brother, Like a mighty onrushing wind that sweeps the Sa- hara at a velocity that compels everything to move in its wake, the American Negro soldier whose deeds have been written on the pages of this coun. try’s record ever she gained her liberty, will again contribute and this time in a manner winning universal recognition. Well may the Negro inhabitants of this great republic shout the Doxology, “Praise God, from whom all bless- ings flow," as even though centuries have passed over us in which we were first physically bound and after mentally we have not lost the wonderful powers of endurance, the hardiness, bravery, etc., that characterize us ever since our advent in thig western hemisphere. Let us join the military lead- ers in shouting the praises of our men who are doing their part to protect and preserve us, and cheer them by writing them, sending papers, magazines, money and other useful articles expressive of our appreciation, as they fight not in vain, die not in vain and in helping to secure victory for the land of our birth, are making history that will never be effaced from this time or the time to come. “Onward, Christian Soldiers”—let every church choir lift their glad voices in our churches Sunday in honor of our boys’ achieve- ments and the success they are bringing to OUR AMERICAN ARMS. JATIONAL CONVENTION OF COLORED WOMEN’S CLUBS. HAT woman is playing her part in contributing to the welfare of the a citizens of this country, that she has risen to the present occasion which makes a demand on her, mentally, physically and financially, and that socially she is helping to relieve the wants of suffering humanity, are facts that stare us in the face, and though some from their accustomed idle bigotry will hardly credit her, yet the majority acknowledgment is a proof of the recognition given her worth and work in the various communities of these United States, The National Convention here next Monday, July 8, preceded by a mass meeting at Zion Baptist Church Sunday, 7th inst., and continuing until Saturday, 13th, will offer a strong argument in favor of the ONE FOR ALL AND ALL FOR ONE MOVEMENT now permeating the hearts of all real Americans, as even though this event is being held by the colored fem- inine portion of our population, yet their usefulness, their quiet, unassum- ing role with their firm stand for right, developing into large proportions and numerical strength, have attracted the attention of those of the other side, and gained that affection as will cause « co-mmingling in service, ete., during this special conclave. ‘The sessions will be addressed by leading women who, after careful study and research, are satisfied or have come to the conch sion “that skins may differ, but affection dwells in black and white the same,” and therefore beside the addresses the Women’s Service League will entertain the delegates at the Thrift House at West Colfax, opposite the lib- rary, We wish the Convention every success and hope the inspiration that will be received from this timely event, which cannot but demonstrate our wemen’s help in eur country's perilous moments, as there are many parents and rela: tives whose boys are laying down their lives on the altar of sacrifice, as well as girls who will soon be doing their part, to bring to a successful and vie- torious issue the CAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS which must universally abound. THE COLORADO STATESMAN bids you WELCOME! THRICE WELCOME! and hopes your experience of Western. hospitality will live in your memory .as one of the most pleasant events of your lives. On be- half of our city we again welcome you, POLITICAL FRIENDSHIP, F WE AS REPUBLICANS refuse to profit by our past sad experiences atf- I ter-we suffered from the mockery of a fusion party for these many years in the state af Colorado, then we must pay the toll again and be con- signed to the ranks of failure and defeat. ‘This same idea of FRIENDSHIP for a candidate will influence a Democrat to cast a vote for a Republican is the same old game that generally works detrimental to our party, as the member of the Democratic party mukes all the fine promises before he gets the ballot in his hand, and after he lays hold ef it—his motto is: POLITICS KNOWS NO FRIENDSHIP, “I am a Democrat.” It puts us very much in mind of the old saying: When a Democrat goes to vote and he intends to scratch his ticket to help out a Republican triend, tis nerves are intact, his hand is steady, He grasps the pen firmly and makes his mark at every Democrat's name, but as soon as he is to enter his mark beside the Repub- lican’s name, he is suddenly taken with paralysis, cramps or some nervous trouble from which he never recovers until after the poll closes. Surely, it is not in his make-up. It is actually driven into him, whether right or wrong—YOUR PARTY. Republican candidates therefore who are determined to succeed in the primary election should be cautious and work up their party crowd for solid support, depending absolutely on that, and discard the fdea of fusion and friendly action. This game was played as recently as 1914, and while we got our man, yet his iffluence, his position could never be felt because of the COMPROMISE JOKE. Supporters of different candi- dates of our Republican party should be on the lookout and under no cir- cumstances or by any agency should they be played for that friendship which not only {s a mockery, but which is detrimental for all time. THE COLO- RADO STATESMAN urges interest in the. primaries which form the step: ping stone to success or failure, and we are sure of the former if we cam- paign as Party pot MERE FRIEND. Campbell Chapel, African M. E. Church, reached $900 (nine hundred dollars) in its annual rally fund last Sunday, and Pastor A. M. Ward is happy, to say the least. There are others who yet declare they are not slackers and will do their bit to make it $1,000. Visiting delegates to the National Association of Colored Women's Convention will visit with us on Sunday. Evangelist M. J.~Keyes will preach on Sunday night, when Holy Communion will be observed.

NATIONAL ASSOCIATION GOMES TO DENVER convention will be called to order by President Mary B, Talbert, The de- yotional exercises will be conducted by Miss Mary G, Evans, noted evangelist, who is the national chaplain, after the singing of the national anthem, writ ten by Katherine D. ‘Tilman, “From North and South, From Bast and West Once more with hearty praise We meet in a communion sweet And grateful voices raise, We thank the Giver of all good For life and strength to serve And pray from paths of usefulness Our feet may never swerve, “But ‘Lifting as we climb’ may we E’en upward, onward go, Till fruits of earnest women's hands To all the world may show “God bless our National we pray And clubs in every state, And keep us bound by ties of love F’en when we separate!” ‘The National Association of Colored Women was organized in Washington, D. C., in July, 1896, by the consolida: tion of the National League and the National Federation of Colored Wom: en; was affiliated with the National Council of Women of the United States in 1900; was incorporated in 1904.

S. LINE Black Soldiers Fight Like Veter- ans Amidst Rain of Shells; Show Selves Good as Best—Ne- gro Troops Got 35 Huns—Win Praise. By Frank J. Taylor. * With the American Armies in France, July 1.—American Negro troops proved their value as fight- ers in the iine east of Verdun on June 12, it is now permissible to state. The Germans attempted a raid in that sector, but were com- pletely repulsed by the Negroes. The boches began a terrific bombardment at one minute after midnight, throwing over between 3,000 and” 4,000 shells from guns ranging in size from 67 to 340 mil- limeters. The bombardment was concentrated on small areas. Many of the shells made holes “from ten to fifteen fect across. — In the midst of this inferno the Negroes coolly siuck to, their posts, operating machine guns and automatic rifles, and keeping up suck a steady barrage that the German infantry failed to pene- trate the American lines. ‘The Americans miraculously sustained only one wounded, “Dixie luck was a-workin’ with us,” explained one. “We all got Knocked down lots o’ tintes, but every man got right up.” During the attack a crew of a machine gun was bowled over by a minenwerfer attack which made 4 fifteen-foot hole ten feet from them.

A. are making final arrangements for the fourth annual outing and field day at Rocky Mountain Lake on the Fourth.

The Boy Scouts and the Junior "Y" have strong lineups, while the "Y" girls are in good shape and will make the best showing ever. The public meeting at the Zion Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon was very lightly attended, owing to the great number of things going on in the city. Dean Peck, who spoke in the place of Rector Robert B. H. Bell of St. Thomas' Church, was, if anything, better than usual, and gave an address which made a profound impression upon the audience. On account of the great "echo meeting," which will be held by the National Women's Federation at the Zion Baptist Church next Sunday afternoon, there will be no program at the "Y" building. The next meeting will be held on the 15th. Slight repairs are now being made on the front room ceiling.

PROMINENT MUSICIAN LAID TO REST IN FAIRMOUNT. THE funeral service of Mr. Virgil N. Wolfskill, held at Campbell Chapel, African M. E. Church, on Sunday, under the auspices of the Knights of Pythias, was of large interest to the people of Denver because he had resided here for a number of years and because he had made good. Mr. Wolfskill was born in Meadville, Mo., in 1871, and died at Evanston, Wyo., June 20, 1918, just after eating his dinner. He was a Christian, and for several years was superintendent of Campbell Chapel, of which he was a faithful member and steward in the church until his death. He was an accomplished musician and moved away from Denver a little more than a year ago with his family to Salt Lake City. He was united in marriage to Miss Lena Harkless four years ago, and they lived happily together until his death. A great crowd filled the church. Rev. A. M. Ward delivered the sermon, and favorite songs of the deceased were sung by the choir. A quartette of young men—Messrs. Edward Caldwell, Wendell Allen, Morgan Jackson and Browning C. Allen—Mr. Caldwell sang "The Holy City"; Mr. Browning C. Allen sang "A Perfect Day" in solos. Mr. Wolfskill sang the latter song in his last public appearance in Denver in a musical given by Mr. Browning C. Allen February 28, 1918, at Campbell Chapel, when returning from a visit to his parents at Chilacothe, Mo. The many beautiful floral tributes evidenced the esteem in which he was held. He is survived by his widow, who, with her sister and friends, accompanied the body to its final resting place. A father, mother, one sister and three brothers remain to mourn their loss. PEOPLE'S PRESBYTERIAN. E. 23 Ave. and Washington Street; Presyter, J. A. Thos-Hazell, S. T. B. In the absence of the minister from the pulpit last Sabbath Dr. R. A. Randolph and Rev. E. A. Reynolds respectively addressed the congregation. The former on the occasion of the forenoon services, the latter in connection with the rendering of the Woman's Missionary program. Both these brethren brought helpful messages. Both pastor and congregation thank these ministers for their helpful ministries. The minister will deliver the precommunion discourse tomorrow at the 11 o'clock services. At 5 p. m. will be prayer and meditation. At 5:30 p. m. the summer communion of the Lord's Supper will be observed. It is very urgently hoped that all the communicants will participate in this eucharistic feast of the Church. Next Thursday night at 8:45 o'clock a concert of most varied and unusual character will be rendered by the choir of the Church and a number of other persons who have served the choir, the Church and community during the past nine years of the minister's incumbency at the People's Church. The citizens of Denver have repeatedly shown their appreciation of high musical engagements staged at this church in the past. We appeal to your support for next Thursday night. The probability is that this will be the last exhibition of its kind promoted by Rev. Thos.-Hazell in this church. Come and help the cause and enjoy yourself. For some weeks both the community and the People's Church have suffered much from the serious though not painful breakdown physically of Miss Cleo Hobson. Miss Hobson is a student in the East Denver High School and a most active communicant of the People's Church and pianist in the Sabbath School and is a kind of a community property and therefore an indispensible musical asset to Denver's younger set. We are all anxious for her recovery submitting, however, ourselves to the wise rule of Providence in the premises. We hereby register our sympathy with the parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Hobson. IN MEMORIAM In fond memory of my esteemed friend, Attorney WILLIAM BOLDEN TOWNSEND, LLB., who bade farewell to this life Tuesday, July 3rd, 1917, leaving a vold which can never be filled—having been a fearless champion for right, a staunch advocate for the uplift of his race and a zealous defender of humanity's cause. He is gone: no earthly power can to us restore a man whose memory in this hour would cause us sadness: His race was run; the task set to him done. done. He is not dead; he lives; his work on earth brings gladness. V. P. HEWETSON-WATSON. Y. M. C. A. AND ITS AUXILIARIES.

MONG the many who visit us from the Far East, there are frequent expressions of genuine surprise at the impressive magnitude and elaborate detail shown in the building owned and occupied by this progressive company, and the lavish abundance, variety and select class of its stocks. It is a real awakening to these visitors to find here in the heart of the once "Great American Desert" a magnificent, strictly modern store, fifteen feet longer (though less in aggregate size) than the splendid building of the Marshall Field Co. in Chicago, whose extreme extent is 385 feet, whereas "The Denver," Sixteenth to Fifteenth streets, has a length of exactly 400 feet.

The magnificent scale upon which everything about "The Denver" is built and conducted is a feature that creates a lasting impression. Within there is a view throughout 50,000 square feet on each of the floors from the basement to the fourth, and of an area 125 x 175 feet on the two floors above, and owing to the modern style of low shelving and miscellaneous fixtures, those broad vistas are little obstructed. In the busy hours of trading the scene, especially from the extensive rest balconies on the first floor, is like that of a vast and bewildering exposition thronged with crowds of animated sightseers. The proud position of this store—first in size and volume of business among all of its Western contemporaries—has been secured through the tireless activity and careful guidance of its experienced managers, who have never doubted that the safest foundation for the development of the GREATEST store must be to first establish and maintain it the BEST store.

AMERICANS HOLD VAUX GERMAN FLYING CIRCUS WHIP PED IN BATTLE ROYAL OVER CHATEAU THIERRY. Western Newspaper Union News Service. An Atlantic Port, July 5.—Destruction in European waters of five German submarines by British transports and American destroyers convoying them, was described by passengers who arrived here July 4 on an English liner. The transports, one of which was carrying 7,000 American soldiers to Europe, accounted for three of the U-boats, and the destroyers sank the other two, according to the voyagers. Officers of the line confirmed their stories. The passengers witnessed the torpedoing of the 5,436-ton British freighter Orissa, which was part of their convoy, when the fleet was approximately a day out, steaming west from the British isles. The Orissa, bound in ballast for the United States, was sent to the bottom by an unseen submarine. A moment later, however, an American destroyer in the protecting fleet detected the undersea boat below the surface and dropped a depth bomb, making a direct hit. The same evening a U-boat was sighted by the passenger vessel, whose gunners sank it by shell fire. The other three submarines were destroyed on the eastward trip of another convoy. They said a British transport with 7,000 American troops aboard rammed a submersible, which was revealed with two others in the sudden lifting of a heavy fog. Almost simultaneously with the disappearance of the first submarine beneath the transport's bow, the ship's gunners accounted for another, while a British destroyer disposed of the third.

A heavy German counter attack against the American positions at Vaux, Wednesday morning, was repulsed, the enemy losing heavily. London, July 5.—Detachments of American infantry assisted the Australians in capturing Hamel. This announcement was made officially. With the British Army in France.Complete success crowned the splendid surprise attack made by the Australians at dawn July 4 against the Germans between Villers-Bretonneux and the Somme—an attack which had been specially set to coincide with Independence day. U. S. Puts Vast Fleet Afloat. Washington.—America's merchant fleet, grown to 10,040,659 gross tons by the construction of 1,622 new ships of 1,430,793 tons in the fiscal year ended June 30, was augmented on July 4 by the unprecedented launching of nearly 100 ships. The feat of the loyal army of workmen which made the launchings possible received due recognition from the highest officials directing the war activities of the nation. CZECHS DEFEAT RED GUARDS. Vladivostok Taken from Bolshevik—Grand Duke Michael Proclaimed Czar of Russia. Amsterdam—Grand Duke Michael Alexandrovitch, brother of the former Emperor Nicholas, has been proclaimed czar of Russia, according to the Ukrainian Telegraph bureau of Kiev. He is marching with the Czecho-Slavs against Moscow. Grand Duke Michael, after the abdication of Emperor Nicholas, was named regent. GUNMAKING GREAT SCIENCE Manufacturer Must Not Exceed Variation of Two One-Thousandths of Inch in Six-Foot Bore. Gunmaking is a ticklish business—not dangerous, but just ticklish, writes Edward Hungerford in Collier's Weekly. It's mighty exact. A gun manufacturer must not exceed a variation of two one-thousandths of an inch in a six-foot bore. Not every man who walks into a shop, his overs under his arm, and announces himself as an expert mechanic, can build guns to as delicate measurements as that. And a complicated business, too. A single disappearing gun, of a standard type adopted by our army, has, with its disappearing carriage but exclusive of its sights and accessories, almost eight thousand parts. A three-inch gun battery requires 3,876 tools, accessories and supplies which are simply part of its standard outfit. And yet our government stands in great need of thousands of these guns—and their accessories. An army officer made these things clear to a chamber of commerce man of Rochester. And the chamber of commerce called a conference of several dozen of the leading manufacturers of Rochester. To them the man in khali made the problem clear. He said that the program for heavy guns for the army until July, 1919, would run to a cost of $2,000,000,000—perhaps even more. He translated these figures into those of size. He said that within that time there would be needed at least 65,000,000 tons of new parts for these guns in addition to 45,000,000 tons of replacement parts. Let me translate these figures still further for you. There are 65,000 railroad locomotives in this country. Let us assume their average weight to be 200 tons each—it is a very fair estimate. That means that the railroad locomotives together weigh some 13,000,000 tons—or just one-fifth the castings required for the new parts alone of our heavy ordnance for the next 18 months of the war. We have embarked upon no pifling enterprise! Soldiers Get Reading Habit. The growth of the reading habit among the soldiers has brought to light an interesting contradiction to the generally accepted theory that among a group of individuals the leveling process is a leveling downward. The men in the camps who are readers stimulate by their example the interest of those who are not. "Have you read this story?" asks Private X of Private Y. "Naw," replies Private Y; "I never read a book through in me life." "Well, youghta read this one. It's a better'n any movie show y'ever saw. It's a bear!" Thus does Private Y get an incentive to taste the joys of literature. There is a tendency toward a leveling upward. The valuable service of the libraries is further developed by lectures, university extension courses, and the general education plan. Men not only will keep pace with their former civilian activities, but many of them will emerge from the army and navy better equipped for the battle of life. Raymond B. Fosdick in Scribner's Magazine. Musically Obedient. Antonio was overawed by his surroundings when the first draft sent him to the cantonment. And he continued to live in awe, particularly of all officers, during the early days of his training. While standing guard one night, he was in such a flutter when the corporal of the guard approached, that he made his challenge in a low voice which the non-com could not hear. "You'll have to speak up, my man," said the corporal, "or you'll get into trouble. I'll take your word for it that you challenged me, but when the officer of the day comes around, you'll have to sing it out or you'll get a trip to the guardhouse. Remember, sing it out and sing it out loud." Antonio vowed that he would make no mistake that would get him in the guardhouse, and when the officer of the day appeared a half hour later, he was greeted with— "Tra-la-la, who coma dere?"—Everybody's Magazine. The German Spirit. "Any restitution that Germany offers to the allies will be offered, you may be sure, in the spirit of Griggs." The speaker was Edward Hungerford the advertising expert. "They'll take every cent we've got on us," moaned Miggs. "Every blessed cent.' "They will, eh?' said Griggs, thoughtfully. "They sure will." "Griggs peeled a ten-spot from his roll. "‘Here, Miggs,’ he said, ‘here is that ten dollars I've been owin’ you for so long.’" HIs Ancestors. He was always boasting about his ancestors, and one day employed a genealogist to hunt them up. In due time the connoisseur of pedigrees returned, and was cordially received by his patron. "So you have succeeded in tracing back my ancestors? What is your fee?" "Two hundred dollars." "Isn't that high?" objected the patron. "What's it for?" "Principally," responded the genealogist. "for keeping quiet about them." —Tit-Bits.

NO WHEATLESS BAN ON SHORTCAKE But Don't Forget That Conservation Calls for a Cake That Is Short on Wheat. SHORTCAKE MADE OF SUBSTITUTES Favored Dessert Not to Be Denied. Us Even in This Year of Wheatless Meals. SEVERAL EXCELLENT RECIPES After Strawberries Have Passed Use Raspberries, Blackberries, Stoned Cherries, Sliced Peaches, Bananas, Etc. Here is a word to cheer the men. Shortcake, the dessert that ranks with pie in masculine favor, is not denied us, even in this year of wheatless meals. The conservation program and shortcake are not incompatible, provided the "cake" is made of the wheat substitutes. Here are some good ones, all of them wheatless. Try one of them the next time you serve strawberries or raspberries. After the strawberry season make shortcakes with raspberries, blackberries, stoned cherries, blueberries, sliced peaches, sliced bananas, etc. There are two types of crust for shortcake that people like, one made like biscuits and unsweetened, the other like plain sweet cake. Each kind has its advocates. Shortcake Without Wheat Flour. Those who like shortcake made from a rich, unsweetened biscuit dough, baked in a sheet, split and buttered while hot, and with a thick layer of the crushed or sliced berries sweetened and placed between the layers of crust and on top, will like these shortcakes. Co n-Flour Shortcake. 2 cupfuls of corn 1 teaspoonful salt, flour. 4 tablespoonfuls of 8 teaspoonfuls of shortening, baking powder. 2-3 cupful milk. Mix and bake in two layer-cake pans. Split and butter and put in the filling of berries or other fruit. The corn flour makes a crisp cake of fine flavor. Rolled Oats or Barley-Flour Shortcake. Rolled oats ground through the food shopper and mixed with flour also makes a good shortcake. In the above recipe use, in place of two cupfuls of corn flour, one cupful of corn flour and 1% cupfuls of ground rolled oats. Or, if you have barley flour, use 1% cupfuls of barley flour in place of one cupful of corn flour. The difference in measurements is due to the difference in weight of these flour substitutes. Rice-Flour Shortcake. This is similar to a muffin mixture. If baked in a sheet, it also makes a good shortcake. 1% cupfuls of rice 1 teaspoonful salt. flour. 2 eggs. Those who prefer a cake foundation for their shortcake will find that a sponge cake made from substitute flours makes a good one. Rice and potato flours are especially well adapted to sponge cakes; corn flour and barley flour also make good ones. Sponge Shortcake. whites beaten separately). casserole. tablespoonful hot water. tablespoonful lemon juice. teaspoonful salt. % cupful sugar. % tablespoonful hot water. % teaspoonfuls lemon juice. % teaspoonful salt. % cupful potato flour, or % cupful rice flour, or % scant cupful corn flour, or 1% cupful barley flour. Beat yolks until thick and lemon colored, then beat in sugar, add water and lemon juice, then fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Add the dry ingredients that have been sifted together. Bake in thin layers and place the fresh fruit between. Try the wheat substitute shortcakes! You will be glad that you do not neeo to say good-by to this favorite dessert even in war time. Potato Flour Made at Home. Wheat flour must be saved and many of the substitute flours are high priced. You can make potato flour at home and it is just as useful a wheat substitute as many of the more expensive commercial flours. In addition to saving flour it saves potatoes that might otherwise be wasted. Potatoes do not keep indefinitely, and annually many old potatoes are allowed to sprout in the cellars and are ultimately thrown away. The potato flour which can be made from them keeps well, so by taking time by the forelock and making the surplus stock of old potatoes into flour before they spoil you avoid the waste of valuable food material. How to Make Potato Flour. It is easy to make the potato flour. Wash the potatoes, boll until tender, and remove the skins. Force, while still hot, through a potato ricer on to drying trays. These trays may be made of slats of wood covered with cloth or wire screening held in wooden frames; indeed, any tray that will let the air circulate freely from underneath as well as around the tray may be used. Clean cheesecloth should be spread over it before ricing the potatoes on the tray. Place the loaded trays in the blast of air from an electric fan, if you have one, or in a warm oven with the door ajar. When completely dry, grind to the desired fineness in a hand mill such as is found in many homes for grinding home-grown grain. A coffee mill may be used, or a food chopper, using the nut knife. If these do not grind fine enough, rolling with a rolling pin and sifting several times will help. It takes three pounds of unpeeled potatoes to make a little over half a pound of potato flour, so if you have to buy potatoes you should reckon costs carefully. If you have potatoes that will go to waste otherwise, save them in the form of potato flour. You can use either the commercial potato flour or the homemade product to greatly reduce the use of wheat flour in cakes, cookies and breads. A few recipes for the use of potato flour are given below. 1 egg. 1 tablespoonful of forttening. 1 tablespoonful of corn sirup. Chocolate Cake 1/2 cupful of fat. 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar. 3 tablespoonfuls of 2 eggs. 1 cupful of corn flour. 1 cupful of corn flour. 1 cupful of corn flour. 2 squares of chocolate. 1/2 teaspoonful salt. Cream fat and sugar; beat in corn sirup, melted chocolate, and yolk of eggs. Sift dry ingredients together and add alternately with the milk. Fold in stiffly beaten whites. Bake in loaf or in layers. The finely ground flour makes the best product. Potato starch may be used in place of potato flour, if one prefers. Sponge Cake 4 eggs. ½ cupful sugar. ½ cupful sugar. ½ cupful sugar. ½ cupful sugar. ½ cupful of potato Rind of ½ lemon. flour. Beat yolks until light and lemon colored; add sugar gradually and continue beating. Add lemon juice, rind, and whites of eggs beaten until stiff. Fold in flour that has been sifted with the salt. Bake in a loaf, or a pan with a stem, for one hour in a slow oven. ☆●☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Cleanliness in Canning. The first essential for complete sterilization with the usc of either the hot-water canner or the steam-pressure outfit, says the United States department of agriculture, is absolute cleanliness in surroundings and in all utensils used in canning. Tables should be well cleaned and may be covered with white oilcloth. Garbage cans must be provided to hold peelings and other refuse. To allow these to fall upon the ground to decay near the place of canning will result in production of spores which will rise in dust and infect the material being canned. ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ For Rural Women in Town. Women's rest rooms may become centers for various community activities. From the establishment of one at Grand Junction, Colo., has developed a rural civic library of 150 books, a woman's exchange, a labor and commodity exchange conducted by means of a bulletin board, and a restaurant where light lunches are served from 10 a. m. to 6 p. m. Thirty-five people may be accommodated at one time. The KITCHEN CABINET Not a truth has to art or to science been given. But brows have ached for it, and souls toiled and striven. FISH WAYS FOR FISH DAYS. One must learn how to judge a fish in the market and be able to tell a fresh one from the stale variety. The flesh must be firm, eyes bright, as well as the gills. The man who likes fish soft may have taste, but it is all bad. The sooner a fish is scaled after done. Take a small sharp, knife and scale from the tail to the head. Pouring boiling water over the fish is recommended as an easy way to loosen the scales, but the fish must not lie sharp knife and scale from the tail to the head. Pouring boiling water over the fish is recommended as an easy way to loosen the scales, but the fish must not lie in the water more than an instant. Hold knife in a slanting position while scaling and the work will be easier. One old fisherman uses a common curry comb to remove the scales; it hastens the process. Fish, after scaling, should be split and the entrails removed, washing thoroughly; but not allowing it to lie in the water, as it will soon lose its flavor. Those of us who have eaten brook trout which have been caught, cleaned and fried within an hour, know how delicious fish can be. When fish is to be boiled, lay it in a thin piece of cheesecloth, tie it well and put into a kettle of water. A bay leaf, pepper korns, onion or parsley may be used for seasoning. Simmer gently, allowing ten minutes to the pound for cooking. Lift out carefully, remove the cloth and garnish with lemon quarters and parsley. To fry fish, dip it in seasoned cornmeal, then fry in any sweet fat, seasoning it well while cooking. Salt fish should be soaked in water and softened by slow cooking; if boiled rapidly the fiber will be toughened. Fish Salad.—Cut the pieces of boiled fish in bits, or flake with two forks, season with lemon juice and arrange lightly on a bed of watercress. Peel and boll three large potatoes; drain, mash and beat until light, season with salt, two tablespoonfuls of corn oil, the yolks of two eggs well beaten and a tablespoonful of vinegar, beating well while adding. Pour this over the fish and serve. Salt codfish, served in a white sauce, using sour cream in place of the usual milk, is a most tasty dish. Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one. Have oft times no connection. Knowledd wells. In heads replete with thoughts of other men; Wisdom in minds attentive to their own. —William Cowper. SUMMER DISHES. When vegetables are so plentiful one need not fear monotony in the diet. Green Peas Cooked With Lettuce. — Have ready a quart of fresh peas and a head of lettuce. Shred the leaves coarsely and place the peas over the fire in boiling water; add a small onion and a bunch of parsley, cover and cook for 25 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Re- With Lettuce. — Have ready a quart of fresh peas and a head of lettuce. Shred the leaves coarsely and place the peas over the fire in boiling water; add a small onion and a bunch of parsley, cover and cook for 25 minutes, or until the peas are tender. Remove the onion and parsley. Cream a fourth of a cupful of fat. Add a teaspoonful of salt, a fourth of a cupful of flour (corn flour) and pepper to taste; add a little hot liquor from the peas and when smooth add to the dish of peas and simmer six minutes. Just before serving add three tablespoonfuls of butter substitute and turn into a vegetable dish. Serve hot. Rochester Soup.—This is a rich dinner soup. Blanch two-thirds of a cupful of almonds, chop and pound in a mortar. Add gradually while pounding four tablespoonfuls of milk and a half teaspoonful of salt; then add three cupfuls of chicken stock, one sliced onion and throw stalks of celery broken in bits. Simmer an hour then rub through a sieve and bind with three tablespoonfuls of butter substitute and three of flour well blended. Cook until the starch is well done and serve hot. Asparagus Salad.—Tie a bunch of asparagus tips together and steam until tender. Cut rings of tomato or red pepper, slip the stalks into the rings, lay on a lettuce leaf and serve with salad dressing. Creamed Onions.—Take two bunches of young green onions, cook and serve in a butter or white sauce as one does asparagus, making 'a most tasty dish; serve on toast. A few young onions with asparagus will help out when there is not enough of the asparagus to serve, and the combination is especially good. Nellie Maxwell A Puzzled Reporter. If I happen to marry a woman with whom I mutually agree. I will turn out a good husband; if not, I'll turn out a bad husband. Find a man and wife who are compelled to "study" each other in order to get along, and who "talk things over" a good deal, and say mean things to each other, and they separate if it wasn't for the children, or the name of it.—Ed Howe's Weekly.

For tennis and golf, skirts that will wash again and again and come out as fresh and unfaded as when they were new, have not been rivaled as yet by bloomers or breeches—for some other sports, skirts are a thing of the past. With these washable skirts plain blouses are worn and swagger little coats made of summer flannel, serge or other materials—and, of course, sweater or sweater coats. The coat's the thing this year, that has almost absorbed the attention of those who specialize in designing sport clothes. And it has been presented in a variety of new styles so that when it is slipped on over a skirt and blouse it tones up the costume lending it neatness. Sleeveless coats of satin and velvet were among these new ideas and have proved themselves successful. Among new arrivals Caprices and C Why the veil? Merely masculine minds will never figure out the answer although they will have the rest of time to ponder the question. Veils were and are and will continue to be. They are a strictly feminine institution and whether they are worn to add charm to the face or to call attention to charms already there, or for some other reason, these are mysteries only the veiled lady can solve for us. But they make opportunity for capricious ornamentation and for variety—two very good reasons for the loyalty with which women favor them. New face veils this summer are nearly all woven with a large mesh; the hexagon-shaped mesh appears to be best liked. Two examples of this particular weave are shown at the left of the picture. They are circular and float about the face. The veil at the top indulges in the caprice of little and big chenille dots and little pasted-on velvet leaves, all of them dancing in all the wayward wandering breezes they chance to meet. A few dots splattered over a lovely chin, make us think twice of its delicious curves. A silk troll wanders in the most aimless and happy-lucky way over the vell below, but it just misses the eyes and just hits a very alluring pair of lips, which goes to prove that a veil should be taken seriously and adjusted with care. At the left appears the "war bride" rell—one of the small consolations allowed to the girl whose sweetheart is away in the service of his country. It is of navy blue chiffon and is draped about a navy blue or navy blue and white turban. This is finished with a narrow silk fringe, but most of the simple but swagger little coat shown in the picture, need not fear comparison with coats of more costly goods—it has some points of advantage over them. It is made of summer jacket in any of the gay bright colors and touched up with white in pearl buttons, pique collar and arrow-head finish of pockets. Just the skirt for this coat is shown with it. It is of heavy white pique and fastens at the middle of the front where a row of white pearl buttons finishes the overlapped seam. There are any number of sport hats that will top off this practical and pretty outfit. But its youthful wearer has chosen a tam of white corduroy, one of the "blue devil" models that embodies much dash. Its long tassel matches the coat in color. Where something more dignified is needed, for an older woman, one of the coconut braids in white embroidered with yarn or silk flowers against the crown, would make a good choice, and there is the perennial Panama with handsome band or scarf that belongs to all summers. Conceits in Veils them are simply hemmed. They are probably destined to a short-lived popularity—but they are very charming. Vells should be tried on and selected carefully as hats are, for some faces look best under a plain, close mesh without figures. Scrolls or dots or other figures in front of the eyes, are never pleasing; they look and are uncomfortable. Julia Bottomley The Isabella Color. Once a Spanish princess vowed not to change her lingerie till a certain war was won, and as that took many months, the result was that fashionable Spanish ladies of the time, who looked to this princess for leadership in the matter of dress, soon came to adopt a yellowish-brown sort of linen for their 'kerchiefs, tuckers, wimples and other similar apparel. The princess' name was Isabella, and this fashionable shade was known as Isabella color, and one occasionally hears this name applied in Paris even to this day to a sort of yellowish-brown that really does look like linen that had been dedicated to a laundryless existence. Although we have had every shade of lingerie, we have not yet had this color. The next thing to it, and something that surely wouldn't appeal to all womankind, is the new lingerie of nickel-gray that has been put on the shelves of one or two of the exclusive women's shops. There is a complete set of this gray under wear in crepe de chine --- FRANK S. REED, Licensed Embalmer and Director Lady Assistant. Polite Service to all. Parlors, 2745 Welton Street. The V. V.
