N. A. A. C. P. SHOWS GREAT INGREASE IN MEMBERSHIP IN STOREY DRIVE THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, thru its national office in New York, makes public the results of its Moorfield Storey drive to increase the membership of the association as a tribute to its national president for his services to the colored people in winning the famous segregation decision in the supreme court of the United States. At the close of the drive on June 15 the association's total membership had increased from 9,869 before the drive to approximately 36,000, and is still going up. This total number of 36,000 members does not include any branches which are regarded by the association as inactive, but includes only active branches and paid-up memberships. The eighty-five active branches of the association which were in existence when the drive began report a total membership of 32,300. Thirty-two new branches have been organized during the drive, with a total membership of 2600. These totals, together with something over 1,000 members at large not affiliated with --- State Hist. & Nat Hist 806 State House the Only Relia COLORA TRIOTIC NSTRATION A-1, to Meet at Zion norrow at 3:30 p. m., any particular branch, make the 36,000 given as the total for the drive. The association now has 117 active branches. Some of the branches, the association reports, did remarkable work in increasing their membership. The branch at Washington, D. C., for example, has gone from a membership of less than 700 to nearly 7,000; the branch at Boston has gone from a membership of about 750 to more than 2,500. Seventeen of the association's branches have memberships of more than 500 members each; twenty-nine branches have more than 300 members each. "The colored people of the nation," says Mr. Shillady, in announcing the results of the drive, "and their white friends appreciate as they never did before the value and necessity of organized effort. The association's branches are widely distributed, which is a second cause for gratification," said Mr. Shillady. "In only thirteen states is the association not represented. In the New England states there are six branches with a total of about 4,400 members; the North Atlantic states have sixteen branches, with more than 4,000 members; the east north central states, composed of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michigan, have twenty-six branches with nearly 7,000 members; the west north central states, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas, have eleven branches with 3,150 members; the southern states, exclusive of the District of Columbia, have forty-three branches, with 7,500 members; in the mountain and Pacific states the association has twelve branches with over 2,000 members. Two states, Ohio and Illinois, have as many as ten branches; Virginia, the Old Dominion state, the state of the aristocracy of the South, has eight branches. "Another striking feature of the drive," said Mr. Shillady, "is the spontaneous growth of new branches. The thirty-two new branches organized were organized without direct assistance of the association's officers or field secretary. In some cases nearby branches assisted in the organization, but as a whole these branches were the outgrowth of the spontaneous desire of the people themselves to affiliate with a national organization which they regard as one that stands for their rights and for their advancement. One of these new branches, San Antonio, Texas, has more than 500 members and another at Green county, Ohio, begins with 450 members. Gary, Ind., July 19.—Because he did not move fast enough off of Broadway Henry Johnson was shot in the right leg by Detective Sergeant Burrus (white).

Just to what extent or importance the employment of women in the place of men, a condition caused by the demands of this war, has just asserted itself, in the success met by Mrs. J. H. McPherson, 5530 Grove avenue, who was recently appointed quarantine officer in the city health department. Her work has not only won the admiration of her co-workers, but of Health Commissioner Robertson and several well known medics. The case of her appointment is the first on record having been open to women, not commenting on the fact that she was the first woman of color to receive same. Prior to her appointment, she filled a position in that department in the capacity of a janitor laboratory assistant, where she got the first glimpse of what a germ was. You say she must be a—what? Just right, she's a thoroughbred "suff," incidentally captain of the First precinct of the Thirty-first ward.—Chicago Defender. THE HEALTH AND MORALS OF COLORED TROOPS. Captain A. B. Spingarn says in the August Crisis: Few matters are of greater concern to the War Department than the proper safeguarding of the health and morals of its soldiers. It is significant that it has detailed to the consideration of the problem of safeguarding colored troops and colored civilians an officer, who, as a director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the chairman of its legal committee, has definitely put himself on record as opposed to discrimination against the Negro in any form for any cause. . . . The War Department can control conditions in the cantonments, but the formulators of this program realize that no permanent improvement can be expected if all the effort is to be from without; no lasting help is possible for 12,000,000 people unless the major effort comes from within. The health and morals of colored people for generations to come will depend largely on how much help and co-operation the colored leaders of today give to this program. VISE SHUTTING ON 500,000 HUNS CROWN PRINCE BEGINS COUNTER TO SAVE ARMIES UNDER JAWS OF PINCER. BIG GAINS BY ALLIES BIG GAINS BY ALLIES ALL TERRITORY WITHIN POCKET NOW WITHIN RANGE OF ALLIED GUNS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. With the French Army in France, July 26. Notwithstanding strong German counter attacks in the Chateau Thierry pocket, the allied troops advanced considerably Thursday, capturing a number of villages, of which the most important is Olchy la Ville. The battle took an extremely violent turn on the northern bank on the Marne, where Franco-Americans, however, pushed forward for a distance of between two and three miles. On the other side of the salient a German attack resulted in the momentary capture of a dominating height known as 240, but the enemy possession did not last. The French and British organized an immediate counter attack and regained the hill, capturing most of the Germans occupying it. Driving in on the west, the French are now reported to have reached a point within three miles of the important road junction town of Fere-En-Tardenois, where eight roads over which the Germans move troops and supplies converge. On the easterly side of the salient British troops seem to have driven in a great distance toward Fismes, the real German base for the distance south of the Alsace. This town, eleven miles from the last reported position of the British southwest of Rheims, lies about midw y from the top of the pocket in which something like 500,000 Germans are massed. Easterly and westerly movements are tending to converge to close the pocket. Speed seems to be the watchward of the allies all along the line as attested by orders on the American front to ignore machine gun nests and press on, leaving detachments to deal with the German gunners. In desperate fighting north of the Marne the German rear guards momentarily succeeded in forcing the retirement of the allies from woods north of Treloup and from Chassines, further east. In a renewed attack, however, the Germans immediately were driven back. As the days of heavy fighting continue it becomes increasingly apparent that the German retirement is well under way. This withdrawal is apparently being conducted in an orderly manner, being covered by such rear guard actions a at Treloup and Chassines. Along the line from Jaulgonne northwest to Oulchyle-Chateau, just north of the Oureq or even farther, the allies have pressed ahead during the past two days. The British have been conducting raiding operations in the Hebuterne sector and have repulsed attempted German raids along the Amiens front to the south. The enemy artillery has been active at Arras and Lens, vital points of the British line. Up to the present seventy German divisions have been identified in the present fighting zone, and the battle may be regarded as the biggest since the beginning of the war. The prisoners taken number over 25,000, and more than 500 cannon and thousands of machine guns have been captured, and German losses are placed at more than 200,000. The French have carried out a raiding operation south of Montdidier and have captured prisoners. Americans, French, British and Italian troops are steadily pressing forward at nearly all points on the battle line to Rhelms, while east of the cathedral city a Polish contingent—the first of the Poles to enter the combat, is declared to have carried out successfully an enterprise against the enemy in which more than 200 Germans were made prisoner. Czecho-Slovak troops have captured the important town of Simbirsk, about 600 miles east of Moscow, according to an official telegram from Moscow, received by way of Berlin. The Russian soviet troops put up a desperate resistance. Washington.—Secretary of War Baker entered vigorous denial of statements made by the correspondent of the Wolff bureau, the semi-official German news agency, that Americans lost hundreds of thousands of men in the last week's fighting in the Marne salient.

Oberoucheff, formerly a prominent Russian commander, is urging that the allies send an armed expedition to Russia to restore the east front and push back the Teutons. General Oberoucheff was for 30 years a Russian revolutionist. HUN PEACE MOVE MADE HUN PEACE MOVE MADE SUGGESTS TO SPAIN THAT CONFERENCE BE HELD. Kaiser Would Waive Indemnities, Dismantle Gibralter and Trade Colonies for Russian Territory. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Amsterdam.—Germany has made suggestions for a peace conference to the Spanish government, says the Socialist Vorwaerts of Berlin. The suggestions are: First—Germany wants no annexations or indemnities in the west. Second—The peace treaties with Russia and Rumania may not be questioned. Third—The principle of self-determination of peoples has not been discussed, but may be settled at the peace conference where the fate of Belgium also is to be settled. Fourth—The Balkan question is to be settled around the conference table. Fifth—The freedom of the seas, the dismantling of Gibraltar and the Suez canal and the right for Germany to use coaling stations. Sixth—The colonial question is to be settled on the basis of status quo. Germany's purpose to retain the spoils she has wrung from Russia and Rumania is directly at variance with President Wilson's declaration, seconded by Great Britain, of his firm intention to stand behind Russia. U. S. TRANSPORT SUNK U. S. TRANSPORT SUNK German U-Boat Sinks Monster White Star Liner Justicia After She Had Safely Landed Troops. An Irish Port.—The giant White Star liner Justicia has been torpedoed and sunk. Four hundred of the crew of the Justicia have been landed here. They report that the liner was sunk after a twenty-four-hour fight with submarines. No passengers were lost, and only ten of the crew were killed. The first torpedo struck the engine room, and the ship then stopped. Several other torpedoes were fired, but only two of the missiles were effective. The Justicia was formerly the Dutch steamer Statendam, which was taken over by the British government on the stocks at Belfast when she was nearing completion. She was a vessel of 32,234 tons gross, 740 feet long, eighty-five feet beam and forty-three feet deep, nearly as large as the Vaterland, now in the United States transport service, and is the second large steamship sunk during the war. The Britannic, a White Star liner of 45,000 gross tons, was sunk in the Aegan sea in November, 1916. On her last trip from an Atlantic port the Justicia was commanded by Capt. A. E. S. Hambleton and carried nearly 10,000 troops, considerably in excess of her stated capacity, and a 15,000-ton cargo. Shoshoni Project Gets Drainage.

CONTROLS WIRES U. S. CONTROLS WIRES GOVERNMENT TAKES OVER TELEGRAPH AND PHONE LINES. President's Proclamation Gives Postmaster General Authority to Operate Wire Systems. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington. — President Wilson Tuesday issued a proclamation taking over control of telegraph, telephone, cable and radio systems for the duration of the war, effective Wednesday, July 31. Authority to operate the wire system is vested in the postmaster general. Ocean cable lines and radio systems are not included in President Wilson's proclamation. The President's proclamation provides that the postmaster general, if he so elects, may administer the lines through the owner's managers, boards of directors or receivers. It provides further that until the postmaster-general directs otherwise the present managements shall continue. Regular dividends previously declared, and interest in maturing obligations shall continue to be paid until the postmaster general directs otherwise; and subject to his approval the companies may arrange renewal and extension of maturing obligations. The postmaster general in his discretion may hereafter relinquish in whole or in part to the owners any telegraph or telephone system over which he has assumed control. Postmaster General Burleson, in a statement explaining his plans in operating the wire systems, said there would be no change affecting the press wire service except to improve it wherever possible. Mr. Burleson also said that operation and control of farmers' telephone lines would be interfered with only for the purpose of facilitating their connection with longer lines. It was assumed that control of cables was not taken over because of contracts cable companies hold with foreign governments. Radio systems already are controlled by the Navy Department. Postmaster General Burleson will personally take charge of the administration of wire communications and will be assisted by a committee of three, composed of John L. Koons, first assistant postmaster general, in subjects of organization and administration; David J. Lewis, former congressman from Maryland, now a member of the Tariff Commission, on subjects of operation; and William H. Lamar, solicitor for the Postoffice Department on matters of finance.

In the first five days of their counter offensive Franco-American forces and the allies on the Alpine-Marine-Champagne front have advanced from five to ten 1—Advanced from five to ten miles. 2—Captured approximately 25,000 German prisoners. 3—Captured nearly 600 guns and thousands of machine guns. 4—Forced the Germans across the Marne. 5—Captured the German pivotal position at Chateau Thierry and many villages. 6—Cut the important Soissons-Oulchay-ie-Chateau-Chateau Thierry line of communication. 7—Brought all of the German-held railways in the Aisne-Marne salient under artillery fire. 8—Forced Germans to retreat, and call out reserves. With the American Army on the Aisne-Marne Front, July 25.—Along the line north of Chateau Thierry the Franco-American forces have driven the Germans out of nearly all of the Chateau forest. American cavalry is in action for the first time in this war. In spite of desperate efforts of the Germans to bring up reserves and stabilize the lines on each side of the salient from Soissons to Rheims, the allies are pressing forward in vital sectors on the front south of Soissons and near Rheims. Allied airmen report conditions back of the German lines as indicative of a German retreat as far north as the Vesle river. The line of the Oureq has virtually been rendered untenable by the allies' advance near Oulchy-Le-Chateau and Oulchy-Le-Ville, north of the stream. Just south of Soissons the French and Americans have reached the western bank of the Crise river. Should the allies succeed in crossing the Crise and in gaining the plateau east of that stream, German occupation of Soissons would probably be short lived. Desperate engagements were fought in the direction of Epieds and Trugny-Epieds, which villages the Americans again recaptured from the Germans. To the north of Epieds the Franco-American line is now beyond Courpoil. Austria-Hungary is planning a triple offensive against Italy, according to dispatches received at Rome from Italian correspondents in Switzerland. Since the fighting began the Germans are reported to have used between sixty and seventy divisions. Estimates from headquarters place the German losses in that period at 180, 000 in killed, wounded and prisoners. London, July 24.—French and Americans have crossed the Marne over a front of twelve miles between Jaulgonne, seven miles east of Chateau Thierry and Reuil, near where the German line crossed the stream when the German offensive was at its height. On the western flank of the German salient, the allies have taken the Oulchy-le-Chateau, a mile north of the Ourcq, a dominating point in the German line of communications. They have also captured the town of Buzancy, seven miles south of Soissons, which brings them up to a ravine that stands between them and the heights east of Soissons. On the front between Rheims and the Marne the British have taken Pettitchwood wood near Marfaux, where they took the places formerly held by the Italian forces. News of these successes shows that the allies are making important progress all around the salient in which the Germans were caught by the attack of the allies last Thursday morning, and that more prisoners, guns and war stores have fallen into the hands of the American, French and British troops. Fraud and Gross Profiteering Washington.—Fraud and gross profiteering has been uncovered in many contracts for army shoes, shirts, leggings and other soldiers' supplies and equipment as a result of investigation by army intelligence and Department of Justice agents. Blast Wrecks German Arms Plant. Amsterdam.—An ammunition factory at Plauen was partly destroyed on July 19 by fire due to an explosion, according to a Berlin dispatched to the Cologne Volks Zeitung.

Cheyenne, Wyo., July 25. — Ten thousand persons at Frontier park Wednesday afternoon saw Joe Gardner of Oklahoma clip four seconds from the world's steer-roping record and by doing it provided the supreme thrill of the first day of the Frontier days' celebration.

Practically Every City in America Is Facing the Same Problem In order that the people of Denver may clearly understand that national conditions, not local conditions, are responsible for the development of a situation that has compelled the Den- ver street railway lines to ask for more fare, we print the lists below. Practically everything necessary to the maintenance of a transportation system has in- creased in cost during the war period even more than food and clothing. The Government discovered this to be true very quickly when it took over the railroad systems of the country and relieved the situation for them by a prompt raising of fares. Street railway systems use the same materials as railroad systems and have had to meet the same cost advances, but being local utilities, the Government has felt itself in position to take no definite steps for relief ex- cept thru written appeals of President Wilson, Secretary McAdoo and Comptroller Williams to state and municipal rate-regulating authorities. Each community's system has had to work out its problem in its own way and by cooperation with local sources of authority. The Denver Tramway Company knew from newspaper reports that the fare problem was receiving public attention in a number of other cities, but it did not realize until it made a spe- cial investigation during the past month, that the issue had already become so vital a one in every city of the country. The lists are published now as information of interest to all citizens. THE DENVER TRAMWAY COMPANY, By F. W. HILD, General Manager.

These dogs huve the coat and form of the sledge dogs and are very compact and sturdy of frame and lively in disposition. In color they are either all black, even to the tongue and inside of the mouth, or all white, blue, red or yellow.

IT IS GENERALLY SAID, everybody else can get out of the political rut but "poor we people"; and the same agent that is sent to teach us otherwise, for the most part, continues the blindfold action, leaves us where he finds us, and afterwards expects us to show another front or change our former position. So often have our electors been "patted on the back" at a primary election that in their gratification of the political ambitions of candidates, they offer a reminder of the story of "the dog and the shadow"—catching at the shadow and letting go the substance. Then come the agents who are only mindful of the RACE when these periodical events present themselves, and in the usual parrot-like form recite the wonderful securities and privileges that await us on the nomination of this or that candidate. But, thanks to the turn that politics has taken, when no longer shall the COMMERCIAL ISM that fills so great and conspicuous a position in the role of the canvasser prevail. The signs of the times point to the THINKING AMERICAN—the man who takes the problem and in his effort to make a solution thereof entirely discards the coercive measures thrust upon him, and from a thorough weighing of the situation arrives at a conclusion advantageous to himself and his fellow men. Again are we informed by the professional politician not to worry over the Primary Election, as the final election is the thing that counts, and energy used in a correct presentation of the claims of this Primary will be lost. What about nomination? And in his endeavor to thwart the situation his evasive reply muddles the whole matter, and a pause for thought is taken. Work has been started on the oil well of the Ranger Company, south of Rocky Ford. Florence post office is now in the second-class. Its employees are all in the civil service. A large deposit of potash has recently been discovered in Chaffee county, near Salida. Work on the Fall River road is proceeding slowly but surely under adverse labor conditions. Nineteen nitro-glycerine bombs were discovered in the basement of an unoccupied house in Greeley. The Northwestern Petroleum Company, prospecting at Loveland, is now in the hands of a receiver. Cherries retail at 5 cents a pound at Grand Junction, this being the same price as a pound of new potatoes. Pete Soto, the Fort Collins Mexican, who was convicted of the murder of his son-in-law, has been granted a new trial. Oak Creek is enjoying a paint up month, and all of the principal business places in the town are being renovated. What may be termed "the old-time political stunts" no longer receive recognition, as it is threadbare, and this idea of having so many or our people in the hollow of the hand or in one's control is a thing of the past, yet some folks who refuse to join the great army of progressiveness are still with death-like grasp clinging to the ANCIENT. The candidates having been indorsed by the assembly, REPUBLICANS are therefore in a position to view carefully and attach the utmost importance to this forerunner which is the only means of entry to the race—the competitors of which must qualify from the majority support they receive in this Primary. We are therefore urging voters not to be carried away with this grand array of sentiment on what this candidate intends to do, the small remembrances in isolated cases that the other might have done, or the imperative action of the idle bigot; but where the positions are contested let us hear publicly from the aspirants, interrogate them as to the fair and impartial dispensing of justice to American citizens, irrespective of color, creed and class, as the days of UNCLE NED, COLONEL and UNCLE TOM are nearing their last stages of existence—the faithful coachman and houseman having died their natural death long ago, as if instinctively they knew the epochal period in our life was approaching, and this would be no habitation for them. The South St. Vrain canon road to Estes Park from Lyons is one of the most picturesque entrances to the famous resort. Work on the Allied-Rush Creek, in Kiowa county, oil well has been suspended waiting for the arrival of additional 10-inch casing. Sinking and development work is being done at the Rooney coal mine near Morrison and a large output is expected in the near future. Complaint is being made that unless a stop is put to it soon there will be a woeful lack of wild flowers and ferns in Colorado's summer resorts. A modern bean elevator and sacking plant is being erected at Rocky Ford to handle the large acreage of beans being grown about that town. Mrs. Mary Cutler, aged 80, who was injured in a runaway accident at Cleora near Salida, died of her wounds. One shoulder and several ribs were crushed. Emil Lind is the first of the Boulder boys in the war to give up his life for Liberty. Word came to his mother, Mrs. Anna Lind of Boulder that he died in France July 1 from wounds received in battle. The present offers help; the opportunity unprecedented for making your own representation; and the members of our race who desire to take things for granted, contented to deal with the LITTLE BIG MAN, or satisfied in negotiating with the attendant to the assistant of the boss, will unfortunately ruin the foundations on which our permanent superstructure is being built. The next meeting of the Otero County Milk Producers' Association will be held at the court house in La Junta Saturday, Aug. 3, when matters of importance to every owner of a dairy herd will be acted upon. Note the action of the Negroes of Harlem, New York, in their action for securing national and state officials that are fearless in championing their cause for justice and right in this country, whose slogan within the past year is UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY, and see if we can get a cue from them. Wake up from that lethargic state! Arouse that intellect lying dormant so long, and throwing off the child-like tendencies that overwhelmed us for years, stand erect in the full stature of American manhood! Ask your questions, and on being satisfied, VOTE CONSCIENTIOUSLY. Farmers of the North Sterling Irrigation district paid $530,000 cash for $800,000 of the bonds of the district under an agreement with the folders. The Buckeye, one of the heaviest producing mines in the Silverton district in former years, has been leased by Messrs. Snider and Hittl. Daily shipments of crude ore from the Lark property in the Gladstone district are being made. THE NEGRO AND PRESENT-DAY WAGES IN DENVER. WE HAVE been asked so many questions about the wages of our people and have been told so many things, that in wondering whether there is a general increase to adequately meet the demand in the high cost of living, the landlord's new rent, etc., we resolved on investigating the matter and found the following results: That in the railway yards and shops our workmen are getting a pretty fair remuneration for their occupation. In the janitor and porter service, some have been raised, while a promise is made to others who anxiously await same. Among the waiters a small percentage has been increased, nothing in comparison to other spheres. The Gold King mine at Silverton has been sold. Some years ago, when the sale of the Gold King was rumored the selling price was placed at $5,000,000. John H. Slattery of Silverton for some years past has operated the Gold King group under lease, including the 300-ton mill, which has a successful flotation unit. "Why this irregularity?" we were asked, as a questioner made sure we could answer, and on our attempting an explanation, he ejaculated, "I will give you my experience, and you can make your deductions." We then gave him a patient hearing, and from his talk, which was of sound reasoning, we could not help from placing the blame on lack of strong minds for leadership. He was very emphatic in expressing that the Negro representative or head man never studied the interests of his men, the men not being permitted to lay their claims directly to the financial agent, were precluded from any chance of success unless through their immediate head. This head refuses to act, or if he acts, it is with the greatest reluctance, and the result generally ends in failure. Denver and Eastern stockholders of the Apex Refining and Drilling Company were present at the first run of the company's 500-barrel refinery at Loomis, Colo. The test was made on Boulder oil and was successful, resulting a yield of 27 per cent gasoline, 10 per cent naphtha, 23 per cent kerosene and 40 per cent fuel oil. "It is going to be a great big picnic with a band concert and a program of music and addresses," is the way the committee in charge of the Colorado day exercises, to be held Aug. 1 at Washington park in Denver described the plans which have been made. On witnessing the various clamorings for increased wages and salaries throughout the country, and the number of our workmen being reduced by the response to the draft, it is very evident that something will soon be done in this particular to bring comfort and joy to the already burdened minds, relieving the strain attendant with the struggle "to make ends meet." We are not attempting to censure any of our heads who have men in their charge, but knowing as a fact that living is nearly 75 per cent higher than formerly, we would enter a plea for the lesser-paid subordinates and hope their chiefs will make a strong appeal resulting in amelioration of present conditions. The Cumberland Mines Company operating in the California district of the La Plata mountains near Durango, reports having opened up a wide streak in the old vein in a stope in tunnel No. 4, where the vein runs from three to four feet and assays up to $268 in gold and silver --- STARVATION EXACTS GREATER TOLL THAN RUTHLESS WAR GOD STARVATION EXACTS GREATER TOLL THAN RUTHLESS WAR GOD THE COLORADO STATESMAN If a list were made of all those in Europe who have died in action and another of those who have died from starvation, the latter would be longer. Think of it! £00,000 more have died from famine than have died on the battle field. The total number of those who have been killed in fighting is 4,250,000. The total number of those who have died from starvation is 4,750,000. Can we grasp the tragedy in these figures? Over four and a half millions of old men and women, young mothers, girls and boys and babies, have been sacrificed to the War God without even the privilege of leaving behind the honored memory of those who die in glorious service on the battlefield. They have died in silent anguish, unknown, unsung. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Perhaps the memory of their deaths would not forever fill us with horror if we could convince ourselves that those who have died of starvation have not died in vain; that by their sacrifice they have pushed the Allies a little nearer victory. The loss of these lives will have been appallingly useless UNLESS their deaths shall serve as a spur for us to redouble our efforts in food conservation and save the remaining millions in Europe who turn to us each day, pleading, "Give . . this day our daily bread." What are you doing to prevent the further sacrifice of human lives? ROOT BEER DEALER BREAKS SUGAR RULE For refusing to declare the stock of sugar he had on hand on July 1, and for making a later report which covered only half of his supply, Charles Gordon, of 1123 Seventeenth street, Denver, has been ordered to close his root beer establishment for thirty days by J. N. Bundick, chairman of the Sugar Division, and Thomas B. Stearns, head of the United States Food Administration. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Gordon was given a hearing before food officials who not only ordered him to suspend business for thirty days, but also confiscated 800 pounds of sugar he had hidden away in an unused cask. The confiscated sugar will be sold by the food administration and the money obtained from the sale will be turned over to the Denver chapter of American Red Cross. The proceeds, in this case, will amount to about $70.00. The soft drink brewer admitted his guilt, and the only excuse he offered was that he was saving the sugar "for a rainy day." THE COLORADO STATESMAN NEW BEEF RULES MEET APPROVAL "The new meat regulations are not only the most successful ones we have had up to the present time, but hotel and restaurant men of the state seem to find them very satisfactory," declared E. E. Lucas, head of the hotel and restaurant division of the U. S. Food Administration. Though the new regulations have been in effect less than two weeks, it is estimated that practically all of the public eating places in Colorado have designated to the hotel division their choice of mid-day or evening meal. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. The prohibition of service of beef does not extend to beef by-products, such as sweetbreads, brains, tongue, liver, heart, and so forth. Neither is it a violation to serve mutton, veal or pork at any meal any day. The definite amount of meat saved under the new regime will not be determined until after August 1, when the July consumption for 1918 will be compared with that of July, 1917. NEW SUGAR RESTRICTIONS IN ENGLAND Radical restrictions in the use of sugar during the year beginning June 1, 1918, have been announced by the British Ministry of Food, with respect to manufacturers other than the makers of jam, condensed milk and beer. The total quantity of sugar which may be used during the whole year ending May 31, 1919, is 25 per cent of the quantity used by these manufacturers in 1915. The order applies to manufacturers of sugar confectionery and chocolate, pastries, biscuits, candled peel and preserved and crystallized fruits, drugs and medicinal preparations, mineral waters, other beverages (except beer and stout), or any other product requiring sugar. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. TWODOLLARSAYEAR ITALIAN FOOD SITUATION GRAVE. The food situation in Italy continues to be very grave. The shortage most conspicuous at present is that of meat. In order to cope with this shortage there have been in effect since May 15 three meatless days a week, and on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of each week meat can neither be served in public eating places nor bought for home consumption. The price of meat rose tremendously the past spring, and beef is now ranging from 72 to 89 cents per pound, with veal 86 to 79 cents a pound. THE COLORADO STATESMAN CAN ON SHALL BE FREE GRACE COUNTRY PARTY --- W. H. Green of Colorado Springs dropped in the city on business. John H. Shorts of 1539 East Thirtieth Avenue continues seriously ill. A speedy restoration to health is our best wish for him. Mrs. Barnes, proprietor of the Barnes Hotel, the popular Five Points hostelry, was confined to bed for a few days. Mr. and Mrs. Lee Morrison and Mr. Chas, Austin of Boulder, Colo., motored to Denver last Thursday, remaining over as the guests of Prof. Geo. Morrison, our popular violinist. Mrs. Ora Brown Stokes, the National Superintendent of the Protective League for Negro Girls, passed through the city this week. She is quite a pleasing character. G. W. Hall, 2831 Welton street, received notification of his appointment as a clerk in our postal department. The Colorado Statesman wishes this ambitious young man a very successful career. Mrs. Jonathan R. Contee, popular Denver matron and wife of the president of the Douglass Undertaking Co., returned home after a very pleasant sojourn in Los Angeles, Cal. She appears much improved. Grand Concert in aid of Scott Church Rally, August 22d, Christ M. E. Church, Twenty-second avenue and Ogden street. Select voices, supported by Prof. George Morrison and Valaurez Spratlin. Mrs. Stafford, popular matron of Oakland, Calif., is the guest of Mrs. Nora Fairbanks, 1234 E. 28th avenue. While here she is also visiting, with Mrs. Annie Battiste, a long time friend. She leaves within a few days for home. Rumor says that our esteemed popular friend, J. W. J. of state capitol fame, has tied the knot for the second time. If Dame Rumor is true we wish him every success on the matrimonial sea, accompanied with beautiful experiences. Fonzo Dickerson is now at home from the hospital, where he remained for over two months suffering from a gun-shot wound. His many friends are delighted and Mrs. Dickerson can hardly find words to express her gladness. Mr. and Mrs. George Gross, Jr., were pleasant callers at our office last Wednesday. The war bride looks a picture of health and every inch a woman for the successful undertaking of the twofold life. Hubby looked 100 per cent improved beside his charming better half. William Warren is looking much improved after his annual rest from duties at the University Club. "Bill," as he is popularly called, avers that he feels as strong as any of the youths around and he is keeping in form as he may be called upon to assist in "licking" the Hun. Albert Williams, employee at the Colorado building, is enjoying his vacation. Owing to the faithfulness and serviceable ability of Mr. Williams and his staff of six men, their wages have been increased by the Boetcher Investment Co., who are their employers. Such men and their works will merit great reward. Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Lance Ford, who took the marriage vow this week in the presence of relatives and a few intimate friends. Mrs. Ford, formerly Mrs. Florence Buchanan, is the daughter of our popular townsman, S. H. Baxter of Twenth-seventh and California streets. The Colorado Statesman wishes every happiness. Mrs. W. B. Townsend writes from beautiful Los Angeles, informing the great improvement in her health and the hope of spending another winter there. She begs to be remembered to the Colorado Statesman and staff, also her many friends of Denver, hoping to make a trip some day to see us. Her brother, George, keeps well. Mrs. Shackleford, mother of Mrs. Jasper Williams, will return to Hutchinson, Kan., next Monday, having to suddenly terminate her vacation on receiving information that her youngest brother entrains for military service between August 1st and 5th. She was just beginning to get acquainted and to express her admiration for Denver. We hope she will return soon. Mrs. Dan Williams, well known in church and fraternal circles, returned home after a three months' stay in Los Angeles, Calif. She relates quite a number of Denverites permanently residing in that city, and on Sunday in her visits to the A. M. E. church, it appears as Shorter from seeing so many friends and acquaintances from Denver. Mrs. Williams speaks very complimentary of Los Angeles. "but my old home, Denver," as she says, "is dearest to me." She looks a picture of good health. Oliver Stephens is in town, having arrived last Monday from Idaho, and reporting conditions the best for the working man. Mr. Stephens, a fine specimen of one of our industrious and thrifty youths, resided here for some years, but in his ambition started for the farm, and today is employed by one of the largest cattle farms in Idaho, having given proof of his ability in this particular. He will be here for a few weeks in the interest of business and will visit with relatives. "Mr. Stephens is the husband of our former Denverite, Mrs. Martha Stephens, nee Battles, and son-in-law of Andrew Battles once famous politician. DON'T MISS THIS TREAT FREE! FREE!! FREE!!

KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAIS MEET IN GRAND LODGE SESSION. THE thirteenth annual session of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias opened last Wednesday morning with quite a representative attendance of delegates. After the usual preliminaries business was proceeded with, Grand Chancellor William H. Bess presiding. A public meeting welcoming the visitors made quite an impression at Shorter Church on the large gathering, and Pythianism had another opportunity to demonstrate the standards of uplift to humanity that are heralded to the world by this good and noble order. Grand Lodge was still in session on going to press and further details will appear in our next issue. MRS. J. H. PRICE ROYALLY ENTERTAINED. A pretty little event of the season was the entertainment of Mrs. J. H. Price of Chicago, who spent a few weeks here attending the Women's Convention and visiting points of interest in the state. A few friends of Chicago and Omaha were host to the guest at 2462 Glenarm last Tuesday evening, where amidst choice floral decorations and pleasant chats, beautiful reminiscences served an agreeableness known only to real friends and acquaintances. Dainty refreshments created an appetizing feature as round after round of pleasure reminded the members of the party of former social events. Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Connors and Mrs. Georgia Thompson of Chicago, Mrs. Beatrice Ragsdale of Muskogee, Okla.; Mrs. M. Britton of San Francisco Calif., and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Clark of Denver, Colo., including the guest of honor were the participants of this enjoyment, which extended far into the evening with sweet memories of Auld Lang Syne. Mrs. Price departed on the morrow for her home in Chicago, much impressed with western hospitality. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The meeting last Sunday afternoon will long be remembered by those who attended and who were fortunate enough to get standing room in the building. Although hastily gotten up, there was nothing lacking to make it a complete success. By the time the meeting opened nearly every chair was taken and men were standing in the hall, having given their seats to the women. The program was carried out without a flaw. After a brief devotional exercise the program was opened by Mrs. De Frantz-Mckinley, who spoke on "Some Things the Negoes are Doing in Los Angeles." Mrs. Brown of Oakland, a delegate to the recent meeting of the Federation, followed with an interesting account of what the colored people of that city are doing for the betterment of general conditions. Miss Hermione Jones gave a pathetic description of educational conditions as they exist among our people in Jacksonville, where the city gives them only one public school building. Miss Fay Shivers, the coming young pianist, rendered with great satisfaction "The Burning of Rome." Dr. King of Indianapolis greatly pleased the audience with an address on "The Indianapolis Negro." The program was closed with a paper by Mrs. Pearl Barnes Casey of Waco, who spoke on "Far-off Waco—Her Negroes and Their Progress." Next Sunday afternoon the Y. M. C. A. will take part in the great public patriotic demonstration which will be given at the Zion Baptist Church in honor of the boys who have been recently drafted into the army. Every member of the Association will meet at the "Y" building at 2:30 o'clock to join in the parade with the drafted boys and will march to the church. A splendid list of speakers will give addresses. The meeting will begin promptly at 3:30 o'clock. On account of the very large number of men who have been called this meeting will undoubtedly be one of the most important ever held in the city. WHITES SIGN PETITION TO OUST COLORED RESTAURANT KEEP- ER — SEGREGATION SCHEME FAILED. The Night and Day Cafe one of the leading and most up-to-date cafes and restaurants in Denver, after moving into larger and more accommodating quarters at 1865-67 Curtis street last Thursday, came in for the usual target prominence when a number of white citizens in the vicinity enraged at seeing the proprietor a colored man, started the segregation scheme which we are glad to state, failed. These are the kind of white Americans that keep Uncle Sam worried as their petty prejudices have gotten the better of their judgment, and even though they join in the chorus of UNIVERSAL DEMOCRACY, they refuse to sing the other portion of the song and are in ignorance of the key note. But there are white people and WHITE PEOPLE. Mr. Carruth profiting from his training among business men of both races, secured his transfer license without the knowledge of his opposing petitioners, so in the scheme to defeat him on non-transference of his license from his former location, they failed completely, hence he remains in his business undisturbed. The Colorado Statesman is glad to certify Mr. Bob Carruth's business advancement, having watched him grow from a small business man to a healthy competitor, and this and this only ( as is generally the case) is the cause for such an un-American action. Restaurants have been in the vicinity around the corner of Ninteenth street in dingy, dilapidated places, but the Night and Day Cafe, being well fitted up and made attractive, interferes with the haughty and prejudiced nature of the men of small minds. Surely we can see in these events the volcanoes that are merely lying dormant under us. Measure up Negroes! Qualify and become strong mentally and financially. A little tells what a great deal means. AN APPRECIATION. THE EDITOR: It is not often that I write to news journals, but there are times when one feels in justice and fairness to a paper, the same way it is publicly denounced for misleading statements and derogatory remarks, publication of its good part in the help to the community should be given, hence a word of appreciation, I try to keep in touch with the newspapers published from negro sources, being a subscriber to the two in Denver and a number of others in the country, and I must confess that The Colorado Statesman is among those that win my admiration. First: I admire how it is gotten up, that is, how the paper is made up, and secondly, your reports of events serve an intellectual treat, as in many instances I see articles republished in Eastern papers with comments favorable to your paper. While I was not a delegate to the National Association of Colored Women held in Denver recently, yet as a member of a local club I was present at every session, and your report of the meetings, with the list of delegates, your editorials of welcome to the visitors, the usefulness of the organization, etc., were so accurate and exhaustive that I felt very proud that in the Far West we have a paper the reliability of which is unchallenged, and the news it gives so edifying to our people at home and abroad. I heard one of the delegates remark that she thought, in glancing at the headline, "SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE NEGRO PAPER IN COLORADO — THE COLORADO STATESMAN," that it was a little comments regarding your publication and would that the patronage could warrant a twice a week issue. The unjust denunciation that the other negro newspaper gave our organization was lost, I trust, in the consistent, truthful and honest reports you made, and I only hope that the contempt it deserves will be meted out to it, as its peculiar form of vindictiveness in this and other instances, while it may delight a few, to my mind reflects very much on the editor's discretionary powers. Enclosed please find P. O. order for $12 for six subscribers for one year each, beginning with this issue, and I shall only be too glad to do all I can for you and your paper, which merits the support of every woman of literary taste. Again accept my sincere appreciation. A CLUB WOMAN. Denver, Colo., July 23, 1918. Whale as Food. In the fifteenth century the whale was frequently brought into requisition for gastronomic purposes. It was found on the English royal table as well as on that of the lord mayor of London. The cook either roasted it and served it up on the spit, or boiled it and sent it in with peas; the tongue and the tail were favorite parts. THE TELEPHONE Saving for Service WHEN the war began The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company was ready to render instant service to the Government. It at once, on its own initiative, made the needs of the Government paramount, giving them precedence over general economic requirements, and adopted a policy of strict conservation of all its resources. To meet all the wartime telephone needs of our territory the Mountain States System has restricted to war purposes new construction and the limited supply of material and labor, as far as possible without impairing the general service. Every bit of plant equipment has been utilized and new methods of handling traffic devised. Each telephone user is an essential part of the system upon whose cooperation the conservation of its resources and the maintenance of good service depend.

Mrs. Anna Reed departed July 15 for Birmingham, Ala., where she will visit her mother and friends for the next six or eight weeks. Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse were here on the second Sunday, filling their appointment. Rev. Muse preached two very interesting sermons. At the 11 o'clock service, subject: "Harvest Is Truly Great, but Laborers Are Few." At 4 p. m., subject: "Where Art Thou?" Three persons were added to the church—Mrs. William Buckner, Mr. Ed Watdy and Mrs. Clinton. Sunday, July 28, is rally day. The church is expecting people from Greeley, Fort Collins and Cheyenne to take part in this old-fashioned gospel meeting. Rev. W. H. Hudson of Cheyenne will be present on that day. Come out and hear this soul-stirring speaker. Mr. and Mrs. Fred Jones entertained Rev. and Mrs. Muse for dinner Sunday, July 14. ESTES PARK NEWS.

Childress and Smith have received their notifications to entrain for Camp Lewis, Washington, where they will prepare themselves in the latest tactics to defeat the Hun. Curtis Harris still measures up to his standard of popularity and keeps encouraging the men on his staff. Mrs. Richard Cowden still holds her own in her genial attention and civil manner to both guests and employees. Everybody is looking forward to a good season. Has 235 Species of Ferns. The island of Mauritius, less than one-third the area of Delaware, has 230 native species of ferns; Java, a little larger than New York, has 460, while Brazil contains 387. All Europe furnishes but 67 species, the Arctic zone, 26; North America, north of Mexico, has about 175 native species. Good Advice. "Talk less and say more," is the advice given to a group of girls. No one expects a girl's conversation to be profound and philosophical, but there is no doubt that more thinking before speaking would make the words of many girls better worth hearing. The trouble is not that girls lack intelligence, but that they are rather lazy about using their brains.

Harris was afterwards made official printer of the colony. Few Words Needed. It is declared by a philologist that nine words do one-fourth of our verbal work and 43 one-half. The nine most useful words are: And, he, have, it, of, the, to, will, you The 34 more that with these nine do half our literary work are: About, all, as, at, can, come, day, dear, for, go, hear, her, if, in, me, much, not, on, one, say, she, so, that, there, they, this, too, time, we, with, write, your.

"Jingo" is used as a substitute for something else, as in the phrases "By George" and "By Jimmy;" in Goldsmith there is the expression, "by the living Jingo," "Jingo" was originally applied in Great Britain to anyone who advocated an aggressive or vigorous policy in foreign affairs, and came into existence as a nickname for a supporter of Lord Beaconsfield's action in sending a fleet to Turkish waters to oppose the Russian advance in 1878.

For the benefit of those to whom the intermittent boiling or processing may not be familiar, {t may be ex- plained that this consists merely of placing the cans or jars of material to be treated in the boiler or canner, and bolling for the required length of time on each of three successive days, By many this {s considered a safer pro- cedure than the use of a single long perlod of boiling. If you employ this method, when the Jars are being given the second and third boiling treatments, you shontd loosen the clamps or unscrew the lids slightly Just before you place them ‘again in the boiling water. ‘Tighten ‘covers at the end of each boiling. As the seal of the Jars 1s loosened slight- ly during each boiling, the metal- capped jars, sometimes called “her- metic” Jars, are not sulted to inter- mittent work. Jars with self-seallng wire-clamped tops are most satisfac- tory to use in intermittent canning. Save your screw-top Jars for packing fruits and tomatoes, which require but one period of bolling in a water-bath outfit. ‘Qnactal .Canaidirationa: A single period of processing In the water bath has been found generally satisfactory for the canning of fruits and such acid vegetables as tomatoes, Lima beans, peas, corn and certain other vegetables having a high protein content, or which, because of thelr thick consistency, do not allow the heat to penetrate to the center of the can readily, are more difficult to ster- illze, and hence, where the hot-water bath fs used, elther by the single-con- tinuous’or by the intermittent process, a small percentage of loss by spoilage may be expected. However, scrupu- lous care in the selection, preparation and processing of these products will reduce this loss to a mintmum. A single-pertod processing with steam under pressure of 10 to 15 pounds, in a pressure canner or cooker, 1s strongly recommended for the han- dling of such products, for by its use loss due to Insufficient sterilization ‘may be largely eliminated, ' PRESIDENT WILSON OFTEN LETS CONGRESS KNOW HE NEEDS ONLY POWER AND FUNDS ALL DEPARTMENTS HELPING Complete Co-ordination of the Gov- ernment Agencies—Democratic Ma.

It is very evident that all of the de- partments of the government are co- ordinating as far as possible in order to heip slong the war, While it was thought necessary to pass the Over- man law giving the president power to do anything he pleases with any de- partment or governmental agency, It appears that he Is accomplishing a great deal with the power he already has and without making use of the Overman law. It 1s found that in nearly every department some bureau or other can contribute a great deal to the success of the war. Of course the state, war and navy are in the forefront of war activity. ‘The treas- ury is in a way more Important than any other, for without money there could be no war. The department of Justice has found a great deal to do. All of the other departments—post office, agriculture, interior, commerce and Iabor—have found that they can do much to make the war a success, find many bureaus have been turned over almost exclusively for war work. The Democratic majority in the house found itself in some perplexity regarding the appropriation bills which had not been passed before the end of the fiscal year. After the matter had been discussed in the nouse, Congress- man Gillett of Massachusetts, who: Is now the minority leader, remarked : “If we were not at war and If this side of the house had not really adjourned polities, I should enjoy very much making some comments upon the pres- ent awkward situation of the appro- priation bills; but, inasmuch as we on this side have adjourned politics, 1 shall restrain myself and will without criticism assist In every way I can to extyicate us from our embarassing sit- uvtion.” One of the closest students of the war and everything relating to It is Senator McCumber of North Dakota. In a recent speech on the floor of the senate he reviewed America’s accom: plishments in war-making and regts- tered a strong plea that his colleagues take a more active part In the actual direction of the war program, and not leave everything to the executive branch of the government. One of McCumber’s ideas is to Import Chinese laborers to this country for the duration of the war and send them back to China after the Hun is beaten. “If China had 5,000,000 tons of ship- ping,” queried the senator, “and we could purchase It today, would we not do so? If China has 5,000,000 tons of energy which ean be utillzed for our benefit in carrying on this war, should we not purchase that also?” Gen. EF. H. Crowder, provost mar- shal and judge advocate general of the army, who refused the promotion to the rank of lMeutenant general extended to him by the senate on ac- count of the work he has done for the draft, 1s one of the very able staff off- cers of the army. Crowder has never made a reputation as a military man, and his first great hit was in taking the census of Cuba. Curiously enough. this census was taken while Leonard Wood -~was governor general of Cuba and it caused some Little comment in military circles to see Crowder, who was then an almost unknown subordl- nate of Wood, about to be raised to the rank of Heutenant general, while Wood Is still » innjor general with little or no Prospect of making any reputation (9 this great war, When the resolution in regard to the short-line railroads was being coustd- ered in the senate Senator Penrose sald to Senator Smith of South Caro Hina, who had charge of the bill: “It it is not violating aay state sderet, 1 am curlons to know whether the werd.

In these days of conservation of wheat, the breakfast helps one meal to pass with little com- ment or a great deal of Pg planning. We have any FTE number of — breakfast SF foods that will supply a J fair meal with top milk. = 1 A good dish of well- ay ) cooked oatmeal with top e milk or thin cream will yd be all the children will care for. The older members of the family will prob- ably like muffins or griddle cakes with a cupful of coffee, Most delicious, fluffy corn flour cakes can be made by using One beaten egg, a half-tea- Spoonful of salt, a cupful of sour milk; the richer the better, and a bulf-tea- spoonful of soda; ‘stir in enough corn flour to make it of the consistency liked for cakes. ‘The thinner they will cook and turn well the more delicate Is the texture of the cake. Serve these with maple sirup or corn sirup and the family will ask for them again and again. Fried cornmeal mush 1s another good and substantial breakfast dish “swhich will stay by” until another meal, Bits of meat, chopped dried fruit like dates and figs or nuts, are ‘all good to add to it and increase the food value of the dish. Vegetables, because of their bulk, are most necessary and should form a large part of the food of the entire family after it is out of the milk stage. ‘Vegetables are rich in mineral salts and, vegetable acids as well as the wonderful and little known, growth determinants. “An onion a day keeps the doctor away.” If the women who are an ounce overweight would cut out one meal a day or ent very lightly at luncheon and not gormandize at dinner, they would feel better, be hap- pler and able to accomplish more work and at the same time be doing something to help win the war by con- serving food. Children should not be stinted, as they need food for growth; but the average man or woman might easily cut down the food from one- quarter to a half and gain in physical as well as mental power by so doing. Tt is not well to serve cornmeal at noon or night if it has been served in any form at breakfast, unless the fam- fly 1s especially fond of it.

He builds his fire, mak- ing a stove of stones, on which he places his frying pan; then with a little salt pork or bacon soon sizzling in It he lays in his freshly caught fish all rolled in seasoned meal, and a crisp, delicious bit satisfies the appetite of a hungry camper. Fish, fresh from the running brook, broiled before a fire while held by two sticks, will give the uninitiated the taste of a savory dish which clvillza- tion never can produce. The delicious mushrooms grow!ng in such abundance in the woods and fields will make a full meal when well prepared. One must have enough knowledge to distinguish the good from the poisonous varieties. ‘There 1s an endless variety of good foods which may be prepared in the woods. A fowl or wild game of any kind, dressed and covered with a paste of barley flour and water to keep tn the fulces and flavors, may be buried in hot ashes and roasted to toothsome de- Uciousness, Remove the paste, and ‘any ashes clinging to it will come off with it. The seasoning, of course, must all be done before it goes into the ashes. If one is not eble to go for an out- ing, unhampered with welght and ready to enjoy even the discomforts of ‘simple foods prepared in the open, he would better stay at home, for such are not agreeable companions. ‘The brond- est, most helpful people are they who never lose the childilke enjoyment of simple pleasures.

A kind of kinship with the sea is in every one of us, says Boys’ Life, the Boy Scouts’ magazine, Noah built the ark as a matter of religious duty, we are told. But if old Noah couid have written a few lines to go with the half dozen paragraphs of the Bible narrative—not for religious effect but as a man to man, to let us know just how he felt about the job—what a story it would have been! : A landsman, getting ready for his first voyage! Big and tmportant re- sponsigiiities to carry, but back of all the study, all the labor, and the “kid- ding” of his friends, that ecstasy of anticipation that grips your throat and makes you want to yell for Joy. Noah was a “regular fellow.” You can tell that by the way he “carried on.” You bet the fact that he was performing a religious duty didn’t make him feel like some folks look In prayer meeting. You bet that when he put aboard the ark one pair of worms, per order, he put in an extra few for bait. You bet he had that same hankering for the sea that you and I have, “It’s In the very blood of every man. ‘Remember how, when you were a kid, you put your finger in your mouth aft- er cutting it with your first Jack- ‘Anite? Didn't the blood taste sulty? Ask any doctor what they put into a ‘man’s yelns to fill them when he has lost a lot of blood. He will tell you “salt water.” Doesn't that prove our ‘kinship to the sea? | Did you ever know even a grown-up to pass a gang in swimming, or a kid with a string of fish, or even a picture ‘of a ship, without stopping a minute to look?, It can't be done. We all ‘love the water. Germany's Labor Army. “Our growing labor army" is the de- scription applied by the Huns to their prisoners of war. According to a com- munique in the latest Berlin papers, Germany and her vassals between them now hold 3,575,000 prisoners. For the first time the German military au- thorities lay stress on the supreme value of their prisoners as man power for industry and agriculture. They are so numerous, it 1s asserted, that they zo far toward compensating Germany for the men she has had to withdraw trom peaceful pursuits for active mil- ltary service. “The longer the war lasts,” the communique adds, “the more adaptable these prisoners be- come to the work assigned them, and the more useful to us.” Huns have a majestic awe of big figures. Thus it is explained for thel= edification that the “labor army” In prisoner camps {s numerically greater than the whole male working-class population of Denmark, Norway an¢ Sweden combined, “and is equivalen: to one-fifth the total number of work- ing men in Germany before the war.” aS ae rea ‘That the cherry world has its bol- sheviki Js explained by Frank A. Waugh in the Country Gentleman. Speaking of the supremacy of cer- tain American varieties, particularly the Morello, Montmorency and Early Richmond, he writes: “Their supremacy has beén often challenged. Other varieties have been offered by dozens and almost by hun- dreds, “The greatest competition arose through the Introduction of the so- called Russian cherries. ‘These came along with the other Russian fruits, mainly in the tmportations of 1870 and 1888, and were exploited mainly in the Northwest states. “prof. J. L. Budd propagated sev- eral of these sorts and recommended them highly. In this company were Included Viadimir, Lutovka, Sklanka, Ostheim, George Glass, Double Natte, Lithauer, Brusseler, Braune, Bessi- rabian, Bunte Amerelle and Spaete Amarelle. There were some others also, bearing the same flavor of north- east Germany and southwest Russia.” Pure Water for Men In Trenches. Filtered and sterilized water for the men in the trenches at all times 1s being provided by water trains, the war department announced. ‘Under the direction of the surgeon general's office sections held by the American forces where permanent wa- terworks have not been established will be fully supplied by these trains, which are in reality miniature water- works that chemically treat, filter and sterilize all water used for drinking purposes. Each unit carries an expert chemist, bacteriologist and pumpman, and the water tanks are mounted on motortrucks equipped with powerful lights so that the work can be carried on at night. Women for British Pulpits. Woman preachers for Great Britain are a possibility if the government's drafting of men between forty-five and fifty causes a much further shortage in the crop of clergymen. Already three clergymen have en- listed rather than be put in a noncom- batant corps. ‘That women will make good preach- ers is the opinion of many of the Brit- ish clergy. “Women can deal with many ques- tions that I cannot deal with,” says the Rev. Newton of the City Temple. Saving Wool Rags. ‘The answer to the question, “Why should we save wool?” is that a fully equipped soldier uses 18 times as much wool as does a civilian, Also that there are not enough sheep raised to meet the needed wool supply: VOCATIONAL INSTRUCTION AND REHABILITATION AT HOSPITAL IN BALTIMORE.

Work to kill flies even at this time may prevent abundant reproduction before cold weather. In fact, there 1s no closed season In hunting files.

Controlling the Fly. ~ Careful screening of windows and doors during the summer months does not decrease the number of flies, but at least it lessens the danger of con- tamination of food. ‘This applies not only to homes, but with equal force to stores, restaurants, bakerles, dai- ries, afd every other place where food is handied. Use of sticky fly papers to destroy flies that have gained ac- cess to houses also is well-known, and fly-poison preparations are common, ‘Many of the commercial fly poisons contain arsenic, and their use in the household is attended by considerable danger, especially to children, This danger, according to specialists of the United States department of agricul- ture, Is lessened by the use of a weak solution of formalin, An effective fly poison is made by adding three tea- spoonfuls of the commercial formalin to a pint of milk or water sweetened with a little brown sugar. Flytraps may be used to advantaze. ‘Their use has been advocated not only because of immediate results, but be- cause of the chances that the flles may be caught before they lay their first butch of eggs, thus reducing the num- bers of future generations, Many types of fly traps are on the market, and as a rule the larger ones are ef- fective. The United States department of agriculture on request will send directions for making flytraps, not only for household use, but for catching flies and destroying eggs around sta- bles and other breeding places, Preventive Measures. Fly papers, poisons and traps at best are only temporary expedients. ‘The most logical method of abating ‘the fly nuisance {fs the elimination or treatment of all breeding places.* It would appear, specialists éay, from what 1s known of the life history and habits of the common house fly that It is perfectly feasible for cities and towns to reduce the numbers of these annoying and dangerous Insects s0 greatly as to render them of compara- tively slight account. Following are ‘soma recommendations of entomolo- gists who have studied the subject thoroughly : Water-tight floors in stables, of con- crete or masonry, prevent egg devel- opment. Horse manure should be kept in fly- tight pits or bins, equipped wherever possible with flytraps. Manure should be removed frequently, not less fre- quently than twice a week during the summer months. In rural and suburban districts sta- ble manure should be removed every morning and hauled out at once and spread rather thinly on the fields, not only to prevent development of fly eggs, but to get the maximum fertiliz- ing value. ‘Treatment of manure with chemical substances to kill the eggs and mag- gots of the house fly kas been found effective in experiments by the de- partment of agriculture, which has publications for free distribution de- sertbing in detail this and other meth- ods of destroying files, their eggs and maggots. Not only horse stables but chicken yards; piggeries and garbage recepta- cles as well must be guarded. Th cities, with better methods of”garbage disposal and with the lessening of the number of horses and stables with the increase of street railways and auto- mobiles, the time may not be far away, according to department special- ists, when Window screens may be dis- caviar: COSTLY FOODS ARE NOT ALWAYS BEST a as ‘The nutritive value of an ar ticle of food and its price sel- dom have any relation to, each other. An expensive cut of beef is not necessarily any more sus- taining than a cheap one. It usually tastes better or can be cooked by easier methods, But care in cooking and seasoning will make inexpensive meats at- tractive and much better than costly ones poorly prepared. With fruits and vegetables the price is often determined by the season, A vegetable out of season 1s much more expen- sive than one in season, but it is no more nutritive. EEE EEE EE EEE EEE Disteia ‘and itte Unics. Every farmer knows that nitrogen is one of the chemical elements which neither his crops nor his stock can do without. The same Is true of nitrogen in human food. It is absolutely nec- essary for the building and repair of body tissues and can be obtained only from the food substance or nutrient known as protein. ‘The foods usually classed as rich in protein are milk, cheese, eggs, meat, poultry and fish; dried legumes, such as peas, beans, cowpeas, soy beans and peanuts. Wheat, oats and some other cereals also furnish considerable protein. A man at moderate muscular work is believed to need about three and ‘one-half ounces of protein a aay, and a family consisting of father, mother and three small children needs about twelve ounces a day. Real economy in the use of protein foods Hes not in leaving them out of the diet, but In choosing and combining kinds which will supply the total amount needed as cheaply as circumstances permit. Barley Saves Wheat. Not many years ago barley was used more extensively than wheat for bread making in many European countries. Now it is coming into American favor as a wheat substitute. Barley flour is very satisfactory for hot breads. ‘Try this recipe, tested by government specialists, for barley drop biscuits: a ageystle Sarl teEB Sb ee wfetEcapoontas ot § onstage bake a sree Baked In a sheet this makes a good ehortcake Poro Hair Dressing Parlors | SCIENTIFIC AND SANITARY SCALP AND HAIR TREATMENT ; MASSAGING, MANICURING, TOILET ARTICLES ' Motto—"Eiticieney™ : Mme.

For their benefit we have been furnished, by those who make un- dermuslins their special study, with a variety of sleeping garments of a new sort. These include separate trous- ers and coats or jackets and one-piece garments in whfch trousers are fas- tened onto a bodice. Besides these there are full-trousered pajamas worn under short kimono coats and for all of them crepe de chine has proved as practical in every way as muslin, It ts easily laundered and as filmy and dainty as batiste. ‘The figure at the left, in the picture above, Is clad in plain pajamas made of sateen. ‘They are very like the garments worn by men and are deyel- oped In several cotton fabries, percale and outing flannel among them, and in crepe de chine. Occasionally # print- flowered silk or men’s wear silk shirt- ings are made In this model—the lat- ter recommended to withstand wear. The garment at the right {s also classed among pajamas. Just now, flesh-colored batiste with narrow Val Ince and Insertions or fine swiss ‘em- hrofderfes used for decorations, ts the favorite cotton fabrie for these gar- ments, but In the picture the cholce seems to have fallen on striped dimity, Shoes That Have Proved Popular ' > ( ; | / : EF WZ i &, a ff Bal) < Za 4 a Ps f) gs Ne Ze Here is a representative display of summer shoes that have proved popu- lar with women who give thoughtful attention to thelr footwear. Except for shoes for sport wear they include styles for any sort of demand, For the street the choice between high and low shoes depends upon the weather and taste of the wearer and there is safety in providing oneself with both kinds, ‘The high boot at the left of the picture In black kid and the oxfords at the top, also in black kid, may be had with Cuban heels for those who prefer them to French heels. But French heels are not always high and some women like them on street shoes. At the right of the group Is a pair of white glace high boots being among the styles that are favored above all oth- ers for smart dressing. Like black vhoes they gv well with almost any dress. But they are to be classed among expensive Inxuries for they must be made of fine quality of kid in urder to clean successfully—and they are always being cleaned. In the center of the group 1s a pair of dressy black colonial pumps with steel buckles. These are dressy enough for auy sort of wear, but below them a nore brilliant pair of pumps in patent leather hus Mickles in sparkling Jet. ‘The full trousers have almost the ef- ‘fect of a narrow skirt and are drawn ‘in about the ankles in fascinating lace- edged frills. A beading, set in at the waistline, carries a satin ribbon that gathers up the necessary width about the waist, ‘Trousers on pajamas of crepe de chine are often banded with silk In a contrasting color and made very full. The simplest of slip-over upper gur- ments is bordered with the same col- or as that used in the trousers, These new sleeping garments will please the woman who likes distinctive lingerie. Painted Sport Hats. Painted sport hats are affected by the younger girls at some of the sem side and country places. ‘They are painted with all sorts of designs, but perhaps those showing daisies and poppies and the other unsophisticated flowers that have come in for much approbation this summer on the part of fashion, are the smartest. Very ef. fective, too, ure those painted with green and blue designs—peacock feath- ers, for instance, wound around the crown (in paint, of course), or pine needles and cones, With some of these hats there are bags—Inverted hats, they are, with silk tops and draw strings. And with some there are those little straw cases, one-half of which slips into the other, decorated like the hats. There is nothing more elegant than these and they are immensely well Uked for afternoon and evening wear. There is nothing more durable or satisfactory than white canyas shoes for street wear. They are more easily cleaned than other white shoes and strong linen canvas will outwear leather. ‘For midsummer they are the coolest of shoes and probably the most economical in the long run. New Fancies, Some simple Jersey dresses are seen with collar and cuffs of knitted wool in bright colors. Crisp and summer- like and lovely are the new collar and cuff sets. They are of fine organdie, not only in white, but in delicate color. ings as well. There is the fashionable yellow, Alice blue and mse pink. They are in new shapes and have tiny ruf. fled edges. As though the gamut of color had been run in the separate vests to be used with the plain tailored sult, we are now shown vests of black satin. In the colored kind bright or gandle ts the newest. us.
