WITH OUR "B SACRED SO COMMANDANT OF CASUALTY DIERS THAN COLORED"— TESIES TO SPECIAL Something About the Historic Ca of Energetic Stevedore Re Saving Money for Pro (By Ralph W. Tyler, Accredited Repu lic Info ARTICLE V SOMEWHERE in France: I have just returned from a five-days' stay at an S. O. S. camp at which I met a number of colored officers who are there either as the result of wounds or awaiting reclassification. This particular S. O. S. camp is a casualty camp also, to which are sent all officers, white as well as colored, who are to be reclassified as the result of wounds or other causes. Here I met Majors Arthur Williams and Charles L. Hunt of Illinois, Captain C. L. Hill of Chicago, Lieutenants E. S. Gillard, Indianapolis, D. W. Anthony, St. Louis, Birney Cox, Columbus, Ohio, D. E. Simelton, Chicago, Fred D. Porter, Waco, Texas, U. Gaines, Junction City, Kan., Herdon White, Portland, Me., B. F. Rudd, Springfield, Ohio, R. C. Allen, Springfield Ohio, and Walter Walker of Springfield, Ohio. Lieut. D. W. Johnson, sugeon, of Columbus, Ohio, is permanently stationed here, attached to the medical corps. I have never, during my stay in France, been accorded such courteous and considerate treatment as I was accorded by General Rosenbaum, the commandant at this camp. He personally conducted me through the barracks on foot, and then accompanied me, in his automobile, on a tour of the grounds. He assured me, and I later confirmed it in conversation with the colored officers, that there is absolutely no discrimination, because of color, tolerated at this camp, either in barracks, mess or other assignments. He spoke most highly of the colored officers and soldiers stationed at this camp, and said he was perfectly willing to be quoted as saying the colored men under him were splendid soldiers. He apparently took great pride in telling of how quickly colored soldiers learned their duties and how punctual and precise they were in performing duties. Another white officer at this casualty camp, whose considerateness and fine treatment accorded colored soldiers entitles him to be mentioned in this letter, is Lieut. C. H. Hagar of Chicago, who is in charge of the officers' casualty company. Every colored officer here speaks in the highest terms of Lieutenant Hagar. At the Historic Castle of Blois. Near hear and easily and quickly accessible from the camp, stands the historic old castle of Blois, perhaps the most famous chateau in France, which, although erected in the thirteenth century, is still in a marvelous state of preservation. This old castle has a tragic history. Here Louis of Orleans was assassinated in 1407, Louis XII was born, the Duke of Guise and his brother, the Cardinal of Lorraine, were murdered at the order of Henri III; here Henri III himself was assassi- nated, and here Catherine de Medici reigned, poisoned her many noblemen and noblewomen who became victims of her displeasure, and here she died. As one roams through the corridors, royal bed chambers, libraries, counsel and throne and full rooms of this historical old chateau, still rich in its original decorations and settings, the royal ghosts of the hoary past seem to pass in review before you. This old chateau, at divers times, was occupied by every one of Frances' reigning kings and queens down to Napoleon. To whatever point the many officers ordered here for reclassification or recuperation may be sent, they seem to find much satisfaction in having the unusual opportunity of visiting and roaming through the old historical Castle of Blois, which has defied six centuries to shatter or decay it. And the sleepy, historical town that lies below and around the Castle of Blois, with its incomparable architecture, its massive walls, its towers and interior decorations which the present day with all of civilization's progress, cannot equal, unfolds to our colored soldiers so much of the past as to, at least partially, compensate them for having been ordered to this casualty camp located nearby, where seven real live generals, a score or more of colonels and majors and captains and lieutenants too numerous to be mentioned, some of them colored, anxiously await further orders. Quite complacently and unmurmuringly they are doing the "watchful waiting" stunt. Colored officers awaiting reclassification form less than 2 per cent of the total number of this casualty camp, and only perhaps about 1 per cent of the total number of commissioned colored officers in the army. This is quite a tribute to the efficiency of colored officers. But who would not complacently and unmurmuringly wait where much of France5s long past history was made? Here Victor Hugo once lived, and here he wrote the first chapters of his immortal "Les Miserables"; near here still stands the castles of Cardinal Amboise and the Duke of Epernon; the church of St. Vinbuilcent, erected in 1620; and in which are the tombs of Gaston of Orleans and Mademoiselle de Montpensier; the church of St. Laumrt, built in the thirteenth century, and the old College of Augustine-Thierry. Our colored officers at this casualty camp, while they dine and sip their Bordeaux wine of a vintage old, but which contains not the least semblance of a "kick," discuss French history of the past, much of which was written in blood, that was made in and about the old Castle of Blois. Up to date, the most delightful hours I have spent in France were spent in this casualty camp, companioned by the colored officers before mentioned.

ARTICLE VI Colored Stevedores Doing Essential Work at Base Ports. SOMEWHERE in France: Figures just made available show that for the month of September there was handled at the American base ports in France 767,648 tons, or a daily average of 25,588 tons, an increase of nearly 10 per cent over August. When it is considered that colored stevedores handled by far the largest per cent of this tonnage, some idea can be former of the very important service colored stevedores are rendering the government here in France, and how necessary are they to the success of the Allies. The work of colored stevedores may be menial and is laborious, but it is as essential as the manning of guns at the front. Fact is, without these stevedores first unloading and aiding in transporting the guns, munitions and supplies to the front, there would be no manning of guns at the front. One who sees the stevedores work notes with what rapidity and cheerfulness they work, and what 'a very important cog they are in Mars' machinery. The colored stevedore has greater endurance than the others and because of the absolute necessity of stevedores to aid the men at the front, the employment or drafting of so many colored stevedores becomes a compliment. Colored Soldiers Saving Their Money for "Rainy Day." While visiting in the colored Y. M. C. A. huts over here, I was particular to make inquiry as to the provident inclination of colored troops, and especially those in the service battalions. I was gratified to learn that a most appreciable number of the men are saving up for a rainy day, taking care of their money. I was cognizant of the fact, before sailing for France, that there were many solicitous members of our race, back home, who were wondering what the colored soldiers here were doing with their money, since the government supplied them with everything necessary. I learned that there are a considerable number who are sending their money back home; that a very considerable number are "salting" their money away for proper use when the war is ended. I met one young man at Hut No. 1, who had a wife and child back in the states—in Arkansas. When I asked him if he was saving his money, he replied, "Yes, every son. I feel the need of more education, and it is a question with me whether to use my excess money to provide more and better education for myself or rustle along with what I have and spend every penny on my child. I sort of feel that he will need the education more than I, and I cannot educate both him and myself." There are here, as at home, some who are improvident, but, from what I could learn, there are many—a surprising number—who will bring back with them, or who will have sent back home, every penny above what was absolutely necessary to spend over here. In five huts, it is stated, 125,000 ($6,250) more francs were sent home than had been expended here. The freedom offered colored soldiers in France is a great inducement to ex- RIGINAL IN travagance, and especially to many whose freedom, in the way of privileges, had been more or less limited. Considering this, the number who are saving their money is most gratifying. November 11, 1918. Joseph D. D. Rivers, Editor, The Colorado Statesman, Denver, Colo. My Dear Friend: The splendid victory of November 5th was a victory for the loyal, patriotic Republican press of the country. Without the trenchant editorial support it gave to Republican principles, and the candidates who espoused these principles, and the generous treatment it accorded news matter relating to these principles, the results of election day could not have been obtained. This is true of all papers—from the metropolitan daily to the modest country weekly. To all of them, to each of them—to yours, quite as much as the others—the heartiest congratulations and the sinest thanks of this committee are due and extended. The party's obligation to the newspapers for the service they rendered this year is especially great because the service was rendered under the greatest stress ever experienced in the newspaper world; the highest costs of operation ever known, crippling postal regulations, an unprecedented amount of "big" news, a flood of patriotic publicity issued by governmental agencies, and the severe restrictions regarding space for news matter. Despite these and other handicaps, the Republican papers of the country have accorded the national, state and local organizations the most generous treatment and the most loyal support. It indicates deep-seated convictions and an abiding faith in the principles of the party, which bespeak greater victories in the future. The work of organization and publicity will go on. There will be no closed season in the proper kind of Republican politics. In all this we want your sympathy, cooperation and advice at all times. I am very anxious that we keep in close touch on all these matters. Just as during the war every action of the party in state and nation has been determined solely by how we could contribute to the sum total of war good, so now during the closing days of the war and the reconstruction, every act of the party in state and nation will be determined solely by how we can contribute most to the welfare and glory of the nation and to the good of its people. Again assuring you of the party's appreciation and my personal sincerest gratitude for your continued consideration, I am, Sincerely your friend. WILL D. HAYS. Brown Palace Hotel, Denver, Colo., December 2, 1918. Jos. D. D. Rivers, Editor, The Colorado Statesman, Denver, Colo. Dear Mr. Rivers: The recent campaign served to demonstrate once again the value of printer's ink. The "Flu" ban made it necessary to rely solely on "type" and "personal work," and the result proves that both are efficacious. We must consider, however, that the latter was due primarily to the former; in other words, that the Republican papers of the state are entitled to a very large share of credit for the result. I consider that I would be remiss in my duty as state chairman should I fail to acknowledge the party's indebtedness to the Republican editors of the state, and to thank them for their splendid and loyal support. The free and liberal use in the columns of your paper of publicity matter sent out from headquarters was highly appreciated, and on behalf of the State Central Committee, I desire to thank you. With a united party, good can- didates and a loyal Republican press, Colorado can be kept in the column where it belongs, and where its highest interests will be conserved. Having an abiding confidence that the incoming administration will merit your support, I most respectfully and urgently request that you remain steadfast in your loyalty to the party and to its conduct of state affairs. Perplexing problems will be presented that cannot be solved wisely and for the general good, except all join in an earnest effort to that end. No agency in this state is quite so potent as the press. Now that you have so splendidly done your part in the campaign, let me appeal to you also to do your part to make the incoming administration an unqualified success. By so doing you will not only serve the party, but will assist in upbuilding the state and what is of still greater importance, you will be lending your influence toward working out wisely, conservatively and effectively the great national problems which inevitably will follow in the wake of the world's war. Most cordially yours, RUSH L. HOLLAND, Chairman, We appreciate the above letters from these prominent leaders of the Republican party, especially when we realize that MERIT, only PURE MERIT will bring such awards. Our party politics growing stronger in us as our publication advances in years, and our experience teaching us that admiration comes only for the man who remains on one side of the fence, going down to defeat with his party and rising to victory when it succeeds, we can only say that we have contributed to the Republican party's success, this and other times. The thing that counts and impresses the respectable and intelligent members of a community—a clean, newsy, up-to-date newspaper, free from the indulgent slang, abuse, calumny and deusion, not delighting in the one-sided action of publishing the faults of some and covering up the tracks of others, but meeting the enemy in the open, declaring ourselves from the initial stage of the game, not forced into action or coerced by monetary inducements, but erecting our superstructure upon a solid foundation we can, unlike our opponents, weather the gale and combat the storm. Thanks to the intelligence and respectability of the majority of our real Denver citizens who are not only patrons of our paper, but who delight in telling others of the stand we take for GOOD LEADERSHIP and HONESTY OF PURPOSE; and while we sympathize with unfortunates who commit breaches of the law and suffer the penalty, yet we cannot hold them up to the public nor follow them as standard leaders if they possess records of criminality and other immoralities. The writers of 'the above communications having followed our CONSISTENT ACTION for many years in the state of Colorado, feel justified in commending our efforts, and we can only advise those who play the game in the dual form to heed the old instruction: "Go to the ant thou sluggard, consider her way and be wise." We again thank these leaders of our party, as well as the recently elected candidates for national and state positions; also the numerous callers, for their comments on our efforts, and again offer our guarantee to stand by the Republican party as long as they entertain and support the principles of our United States constitution making it possible for permanent residence of the Negro in this country and the recognition given him as A FULL FLEDGED AMERICAN CITIZEN. NO. 7. MME. C. J. WALKER TAKES KEEN INTEREST IN RACE MATTERS. Mme. C. J. Walker, the noted race woman and whose rise to fame has produced one of the most interesting stories of the times, is now resting at her New York home, and is taking a keen interest in all matters as they relate to the development of the race. Mme. Walker is especially interested in the problems confronting the women of the race and where ever she can say a word to spur them up to action and to remind them of their duty towards themselves and race she always does it. During the last campaign she took a keen interest in the political situation, and urged the women of this city to exercise their franchise and to vote for those measures that will bring about better economic and industrial condition for the race and assist in fighting down some of the things that confront us as a people, especially the infamous Jimcrow cars and other unjust discrimination that confronts them. Mme Walker has now become a Socialist, and believes that in the party the colored people throughout the country can attain their just rights. She admires its broad platform, and during the last campaign here she enthusiastically urged the race to stand by this party and make it one of the strongest of the great parties of the country. She feels very keenly all of the problems that confront the race and believes that just in proportion as the race develops industrially will it be in a better position to demand its rights. Mme. Walkers has done much to inspire the young women of the race to a higher place in life and shows what REFUSED SERVICE IN Y. M. C. A RESTAURANT BECAUSE OF COLOR. Corp. Charles H. Drysdale Writes of Humiliating Experience—White Soldiers Leave Place When Comrade Is Refused. (New York Age.) Corp. Charles H. Drysdale of the 369th, formerly the old 15th, writes the Age that in some Y. M. C. A. restaurants in France the colored soldier from America is being grossly discriminated against. Corporal Drysdale recently had a most disagreeable experience, which he relates as follows: "While traveling through France, I had occasion to stop in the city of Tours, and being very hungry, I stopped at the only available place to get an American meal which happened to be an American Y. M. C. A. After entering the restaurant and quietly seating myself at a table, a French waitress attempted to take my order; before she could accomplish same, I was accosted by the Y. M. C. A. official who informed me that I would have to depart as they did not serve colored soldiers in that restaurant. "I really felt hurt to think I had come all the way to France; in a land where the inhabitants know no discrimination, and then to be belittled by this official. I asked him did he think I was an American or a German. I had many sympathizers; some of whom were white soldiers from New York N. G. regiments. They protested against the official's action and said if I was good enough to fight side by side with them in the trenches, I was certainly good enough to eat with them. I not being served, and having their protests ignored they refused to eat, and walked out, disgusted. "Leaving there with the feeling that the Y. M. C. A. was somewhat getting away from the Christian spirit for which I had always believed it stood, I proceeded to Dijon. I walked into the Y. M. C. A. at this place, asking for a package of cigarettes, but same was refused me, official stating that they were for white soldiers. Several American army officers of high rank informed the Y. M. C. A. official that there were no orders ever issued in the U. S. A. discriminating because of color, and this existing feeling of race hatred should be eliminated. I am writing this to let the people back home know of the real conditions 'over here.' Several officers can substantiate my statements above." PRINCE WILLIAM FREDERICK International Film Society AFTER-WAR PROBLEMS DISCUSSED IN MESSAGE BY PRESIDENT TO CONGRESS. Executive Tells Members in Joint Session of Readjustment Plans and Trip Abroad. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—Congress in joint session Dec. 2 heard President Wilson announce formally his purpose to attend the peace conference and give his views on the part the government should play in dealing with after-the-war problems. Democrats of the House received the announcement with cheers, in which some senators joined; the Republicans were silent almost throughout the address except when the President referred to the valor and efficiency of America's soldiers, and mentioned the names of Pershing and Sims. Threatened interruptions by members who disapproved of the trip and of the President's failure to include a senator among the peace delegates, however, did not materialize. During the first hour of the new session, Senator Cummins of Iowa, Republican, introduced a resolution to send a committee of eight senators to Paris to keep the Senate advised of the progress of the peace conference and in the House Representative Rodenburg of Illinois, Republican, had offered a resolution proposing that the vice president take over the executive functions upon the departure of Mr. Wilson from the country. Senator Sherman of Illinois, Republican, announced later that he would submit a resolution similar to that of Representative Rodenburg, except that it would declare the office of President vacant. The President's annual address was read before a crowd that filled floors and galleries. He reviewed at length the country's accomplishments in the war, paying tribute to the armed forces and to loyal workers at home. Among other things, he disclosed that he thinks the problem of readjustment is taking care of itself without government aid. There was no debate in either house on the President's trip to France. The only reference to it in the House was made by Representative Mann of Illinois, the Republican leader, after the President had delivered his annual address at the joint session in the House chamber.

Nation's Expenses Cut to Third. Washington.-Cessation of war will result in a reduction of government expenses for the fiscal year 1920, starting next July 1, to $7,443,415,888 from the $24,599,000,000 appropriated for the current year, according to tentative estimates submitted to Congress by Secretary McAdoo, transmitting the report of the various departments. The principal reduction was for the military establishment, which estimates its needs at $1,922,000,000 in 1920, as compared with the $12,274,000,000 appropriated for this year. WILSON PARTY OFF TO FRANCE LEFT FOR NEW YORK TO SAIL ON LINER GEORGE WASHINGTON FOR PEACE CONFERENCE. MANNDEFENDSMISSION SHERMAN ASKS OFFICE OF PRES IDENT BE DECLARED VACANT AND MARSHALL INSTALLED. Western Newspaper Union News Services. Brest, Dec. 4.—President Wilson will land at Brest on the afternoon of Dec. 12 and will receive military honors. Foreign Minister Pichon, Minister of Marine Leygues and Capt.

He left Washington on a special train for New York, where Wednesday he and his party boarded the transport George Washington, on which the voyage across the Atlantic will be made. About seven days will be required for the trip, and the ship will dock at a French port, presumably Brest. Washington. — President Wilson's trip to Europe was the subject of debate in the Senate Tuesday between Senators Sherman of Illinois (Rep.) and Williams of Mississippi (Dem.). In introducing a resolution to declare the President's office vacant upon Mr. Wilson's departure from the country and to provide for the succession of Vice President Marshall, Senator Sherman severely criticized the President for his decision to attend the peace conference. He declared the trip is unjustified, constitutes "a grave menace" and might cause "insidious mischief." Senator Williams warmly defended the President's course. He recited the fact that both Presidents Taft and Roosevelt made trips outside of the United States and suggested that the purpose of the President's critics was to make political capital out of his voyage abroad. While this colloquy was proceeding in the Senate Representative Mann of Illinois, the Republican leader in the House, issued a statement declaring that factional strife should not be permitted to interfere with the President's mission. He said there would be no concerted effort by House Republicans to embarrass the President and that he did not believe the American people would "tolerate any meddling in that which so vitally concerns them." The Senate foreign relations committee will consider the resolution of Senator Cummins of Iowa, Republican, that a Senate committee of eight be appointed to go to Europe and keep the Senate advised as to the proceedings of the peace conference. The foreign relations committee also is to consider a resolution introduced by Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, Republican, and former secretary of state, proposing postponement by the peace conference of action on the questions of a league of nations and freedom of the seas. GERMANY MUST PAY FULL BILL. Fate of Former Kaiser Discussed by Leaders in Preliminary Council London.—Stirring scenes were witnessed in Downing street Monday when the representatives of Great Britain, France and Italy assembled to discuss the preliminaries of the peace conference. It was understood that the fate of the former German emperor and the question of making Germany pay the full bill were before the meeting. By the time the representatives arrived, Downing street was filled to overflowing with a great crowd of spectators. First to arrive was Marshal Foch, and as his car, decked in the French colors, wheeled up to the premier's residence the crowd, instantly recognizing the gallant figure of the commander in chief of the allied armies, pressed around the car, shouting, "Bravo, Foch!" Marshal Foch stepped quickly from the car and disappeared into the house. M. Clemenceau, the French premier, followed almost immediately, and the crowd surged around him on the pavement, cheering and shouting, with crises of "Good old tiger!" and "Vive Clemenceau!" For two hours the mass of people remained, singing the national anthem, "The Marsellaise" and "Rule Britannia." London.—All American wounded in England with the exception of about 500 of the most serious cases, will be back in the United States by Christmas, according to present plans.

These troops, with other special units, General March, chief of staff, announced Nov. 30, total 3,451 officers and 79,663 men. New figures on the American army casualties announced by the chief of staff, showed a total of 262,693, exclusive of prisoners. The total, which exceeds that made public a week ago by 28,000, covers all losses to Nov. 26. Orders have been issued, the chief of staff also said, for the demobilization of 649,000 men in camps and cantonments in the United States. By the end of December, General March indicated, probably 150,000 to 175,000 members of the expeditionary forces will have returned to this country. ALLIES WON WAR IN 1914 Declares Ex-Crown Prince, Who Says He Urged Peace at That Time. Oosterland, Holland, Dec. 4.—"I have not renounced anything and I have not signed any document whatever," the former German crown prince declared to the correspondent. "I am convinced," the former crown prince said to his interviewer, "that we lost the war early in October, 1914. I considered our position hopeless after the battle of the Marne, which we should not have lost if the chiefs of our general staff had not suffered a case of nerves. "I tried to persuade the general staff to seek peace then, even at a great sacrifice, going so far as to give up Alsace-Lorraine. But I was told to mind my own business and confine my activities to commanding my armies. I have proof of this." Predicts Dire Famine Through Europe Predicts Dire Famine Through Europe New York.-Prediction that there will be such distress in the world this winter that it cannot be met by volunteer organizations and that governments must bear the chief burden was made by Henry P.

I release at the same time all the officials of the German empire and Prussia and also all officers, noncommissioned officers and soldiers of the Prussian navy and army and of contingents from confederate states from the oath of fidelity they have taken to me as their emperor, king and supreme chief.

Paris.—Madame Prieur, widow of one of the victims of the torpedoing of the Sussex by a German submarine, has lodged a complaint of murder in the courts against the former German emperor. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Paris.—Dec 16 has been definitely set as the date on which the preliminary conferences will begin between President Wilson, and Premiers Lloyd George, Clemenceau and Orlando. The program thus far developed warrants belief that the four nations represented by these men will agree upon the main points of peace before Christmas. The smaller nations are then expected to be consulted as to details. Germany will not be called in before late in January, it is believed, and then only to hear the results of the allied-American deliberations and to suggest modifications. Meanwhile, the armistice will have to be prolonged and that question already is being considered. No difficulties are looked for on that score.

DELANO Director Department of Nursing American Red Cross "An Ounce of Prevention Is Worth a Pound of Cure" SIMPLE SICKROOM METHODS If a member of your family gets sick, or shows decided signs of ap- of your family gets decided signs of approach illness, put the patient to bed and then call a physician. PETER H. Choose a room that is quiet and sunny, and as far removed as possible from other members of the family. Fresh air is especially needed by all sick people, but a ventilated room does not mean a cold room. The windows should be opened at the top and bottom for a few minutes once every hour, to keep fresh air circulating through the room, but take care to protect the patient from direct draft, at all times. Use extra covers, if necessary. Don't allow more than one person in the sick room at a time, unless needed to help in lifting or moving, and keep away other members of the family. Only the patient should occupy the bedroom, and it is important to remember that all sick people are sensitive to noises; such as flapping curtains, squeaky doors and rocking chairs, rattling windows, ticking clocks, sticking bureau drawers, rustling newspapers or over-starched skirts. Never whisper in the sickroom; it annoys the patient. If there seems to be high fever, severe headache, cold applications on the head will relieve. If the patient complains of chill, or feeling cold, put hot water bottles, securely corked and well covered, at the back and feet. Give the patient plenty of cold water to drink; it helps to wash away the wastes from his system. If his throat is sore, have him gargle it with salt water—one teaspoonful to a pint of boiling water. Cold or hot applications on the throat are soothing. Give no medicine unless ordered to do so by the doctor, with the possible exception of a mild dose of castor oil, if needed. Don't take it unless needed, however. It is unwise to give a physic as a routine measure. Don't kill the patient with kindness, and don't overfeed him. If there is fever, give him milk and strained broths; if there is no fever he may have, in addition to the milk and broth, tea, toast, plain boiled rice, or the lighter cereals. It is highly important that certain dishes and cooking utensils be set aside for the sole use of the patient. If it is impossible to wash them there, they should be carried in a pan to the kitchen, and boiled before washing. Scraps of food left on the tray after the patient has eaten should be put in a paper bag and burned. The person caring for the patient should remember to wash her hands frequently, especially before leaving the room to mingle with other members of the family. She must also remember, for her own protection, to keep her hands away from her mouth and nose at all times. It is said that 90 per cent of contagious diseases are taken through the mouth and nose. If the slickroom is kept well aired, clean and tidy, disinfectants will not be necessary, and should not be used unless a physician advises. All unnecessary furniture should be removed from the slickroom, so that it can be easily cleaned. Remove dust from the floor and carpet with a damp cloth wrapped around the broom. Use clean cloths or paper napkins to remove the discharges from the mouth and nose. Burn these after being used. Old cloths and cotton used to receive any other discharges, including vomit material, should be placed in a paper bag and burned immediately. Soled hundkerchiefs, which may not be burned, should not be placed under the pillow; they help to spread the disease. Keep them in a paper bag near the bedside. Before being sent to the laundry, they should be put in a pan filled with water and a little washing soda and boiled. In order to keep from breathing in the germs of influenza and pneumonia, which are expelled into the air from the patient, the attendant should wear a contagion mask. This is made by folding together six thicknesses of gauze, eight inches square and attaching tapes to the four corners. Tie the mask over the mouth and nose. It is very unwise for the person who has been seriously ill to get up too soon, or try to go to work until they are feeling entirely well and strong. KITCHEN HYGIENE A clean, well-cared-for house is desirable for all times, but a clean kitchen is an absolute necessity in maintaining health and preventing the spread of disease. The most scrupulous care should be exercised wherever food is stored and prepared. Be sure that no germs are allowed to live in the place where food for the entire family is prepared. The kitchen, as far as possible, should be bright, alry, easy to clean, and should have no dark corners. All cooking utensils should be thoroughly washed, scaled and dried before they are put away. The danger of using badly washed dishes is evident to everyone. When sinks and shelves are washed, dirty water should not be allowed to stand in the cracks to draw insects and breed germs. Dish cloths and towels should be washed and boiled after using, and if possible dried in the sun. The sun and fresh air are the best germ killers in the world. Every place where food is kept should have constant care. The refrigerator must be kept absolutely clean; all movable parts should be taken out of it and thoroughly washed once a week. At that time the pipes and drains should be cleaned, racks thoroughly washed with hot water and soap suds, rinsed, placed in the sun and aired, and the interior rinsed with hot water, and then cold water, dried and left to air for an hour. Too much emphasis cannot be placed on the importance of special care for all dishes and cooking utensils sent to the kitchen from the sick room. They should be scalded before drying. At the termination of the illness, such dishes should be boiled briskly for ten minutes before being returned for general use. The same set of dishes for the patient should be used every day and kept in a place separate from the family dishes. If no safe place can be found, they should be kept in the patient's room covered with a clean napkin until needed. Attention should also be paid to the hands of the person cooking. They should be washed always before handling food. After using the handkerchief or coming in direct contact with the nose or mouth, wash the hands before touching the food. Care should be taken not to cough or sneeze in the neighborhood of food, especially food to be eaten raw, and if the person cooking has a bad cold she should take particular care to keep her hands clean. Food for the sick should always be most carefully prepared, and be as invitingly served as possible. Trays, dishes, tray cloths and napkins for the patient must be absolutely clean. Paper napkins are better than soiled linen. The trays should not be overloaded with food. The sight of too much food frequently takes away the appetite. It is safer to err on the side of serving too little than too much. Food left on the patient's tray should be burned; it should not be eaten by anyone else, or placed in the pantry or refrigerator with other food. Keep the kitchen clean, keep the food clean and lessen the danger of infection from that point. Famous Old London Building. The appointment of lieutenant of the Tower of London carries with it the tenure of the lieutenant's house, which boasts of historical associations, if ever any house did. It was built in the reign of Henry VIII, and was used as a prison for More, Surrey, Essex, Coke, Jeremy Taeylor, William Penn and Algernon Sydney. There are two other small houses provided for the lieutenant's servants, and in these Lady Jane Grey was held captive and Sir Walter Raleigh wrote his "History of the World." In those "good old days" the fees charged the prisoners added quite materially to the lieutenant's salary. Scots All Lovers of Dogs. Scotts All Lovers of Dogs. Scotland is a great sheep-growing country, yet it loves the dog; gives him his due in life and reveres him in death. At the castle in Edinburgh there is a little plot of ground where the dogs of the Scottish soldiers are buried; it is a charming spot, and on many little tombstones there are tender tributes to departed friends. In front of Saint Giles cathedral in the same nobile city, there is a monument to a little skye terrier, and upon it, carved in stone, an inscription to Robble, who refused to leave the church yard where his master was buried, and died upon his grave. Nero's Golden Palace. The golden house was the palace of Nero In ancient Rome, which occupied the valley between the Palatine and Esquiline, and connected the palaces on the Caesars with the gardens of Maecenas. It was built after the great fire of 64 A. D., and so was large that it contained porticos 2,800 feet long and inclosed a lake where the colosseum now stands. The forecourt contained a colossus of Nero 120 feet high Secrets of the Salmon. A single scale from a salmon will tell you its owner's age, and whether his pickings have been slim or the opposite. When viewed through a microscope, the scale will reveal tiny lines, which have developed at the rate of 16 a year. Lines crowded close prove that the salmon has been living high. Lines widely spread indicate a scant diet. Only One Town. Previous to the great war, the only town in the old world ever captured by the United States was the town of Derne, in Tripoll, which was taken by an American force under General Eaton in 1804.

THE JOY OF THE CHRISTMAS GIFT. WHERE we love we give, and the giving is the outward expression of the loving. Joy and gratitude, gladness and good will seek some tangible form of expression other than words, and they find it in favors and gifts. Christmas itself is but an expression of the greatest and divinest gift ever made to the world. So there is plenty of justification for Christmas giving, which, however, is more important than the gift itself. A mere trifle or trinket may serve a blessing of a lifetime, while a costly bauble may only serve a temporary interest. Let your giving be done judiciously and with the right spirit and it will serve noble ends. PRESIDENT WILSON'S INTERNATIONAL VISION PRESIDENT WILSON'S address to congress in joint session last Monday formally announcing his intention to go to France for the peace conference, which appears in full on another page of this paper, was listened to with rapt attention, and will be read with very much interest throughout the length and breadth of this country, as well as abroad, as it is an emphatic declaration of America's demand for WORLD JUSTICE—a peace policy which will be universal when the haughty spirit of nations ceases to be. The following quotation will cause the people of our race to think of the nation and its component parts, and they will be sure to arrive at a conclusion whether or not the dark-skinned people of America are included in this mastery address, which is to form the basis for the world's acceptance of the NEW DEMOCRACY as enunciated by our president: "And now we are sure of the great triumph for which every sacrifice was made. It has come; come in its completeness and with the pride and inspiration of these days of achievement quick within us we turn to the tasks of peace again. A peace sure against the violence of irresponsible monarchs and ambitious military coteries—and make ready for a new order, for NEW FOUNDATIONS OF JUSTICE AND FAIR DEALING." Continuing, the president said: "We are about to give order and organization to this peace, not only for ourselves, but for the other peoples of the world as well, so far as they will suffer us to serve them. It is international justice that we seek, not domestic safety merely. Our thoughts have dwelt of late upon Europe, upon Asia, upon the near and far East, very little upon the acts of peace and accommodation that wait to be performed at our own doors." It is this latter clause, ACTS OF PEACE AND ACCOMMODATION THAT WAIT TO BE PERFORMED AT OUR OWN DOORS that gives us so much worry and has stirred us to the very core in the two-term administration of President Wilson; and as loyal American citizens ready to brave this and that, ready to die in defense of this country, its flag, its dignity, "when, oh when," we ask, "will the chastening rod be applied to the cruelties and barbarous actions that are perpetrated on the race to which we belong, so that the other nations of the world will view such beautiful sentiments with a serious thought and an unsuspected sincerity?" We are here and know that the good old expression, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS, has been the proof of the poisonous draughts that have been forced upon us that we are compelled to take, and if this leader of our American nation who is gone abroad with a vision that in his correction to the world, in his zeal for universality of peace and justice, the black man of this country is included, then the Colorado Statesman, in voicing the sentiments of the members of its race, joins in wishing the president bon voyage and a safe return to our shores after he has planted the New Democracy in Europe and Asia with a determination to SET HIS OWN HOUSE IN ORDER. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS ON THE NEW DEMOCRACY IN HIS recent speech at the Eighth Regiment Armory, Roscoe Conkling Simmons again demonstrated his wonderful ability and large mental sphere in dealing with the question that keeps this great United States conspicuously in the eyes of other nations as to her plan of measuring humanity by race or class instead of merit and everything else that goes to make a man. There is no doubt about the oratorical powers of this great leader of the race; but the manner in which he keeps his audience spell-bound in his proclamation of TRUTH AND RIGHTEOUSNESS (and his audiences are generally 40 to 50 per cent white), compels us to place him in the order of the foremost speaker of our people and one of the greatest and most fearless exponents of man's rights and the wrongs committed against the race to which he belongs in this country. Men of Simmons' type are destined for leadership, as they never seem to repeat themselves and are always flooded with thoughts which afford hope and inspiration to their hearers, as well as those who follow the comments and opinions of even the most critical. We quote the following, not only as an admirer of our friend and leader, but as our motto is that anything which furnishes food for thought, both for ourselves and the side that opposes us, should never escape the public press, and, knowing the good that results from such wise expressions, we find much pleasure in publishing same. "Scholars and such may deny," said the speaker, "but I see that some 'wondrous will' is working a mighty plan. Arms are stacked on the field. The war drums are no longer heard and the bugler himself is called to the tent. God and the Allies are victorious. Peace again looks up. While the world is not safe for democracy, nor will ever be, truly the 'home fires' of the victors are becoming the fires of liberty for the vanquished. Kings are gone down. Thrones are overturned. Liberty got her promised hearing. The temple of peace rises on the ashes of deserted fields. Mercy wipes away the tear of sorrow, and the great of earth are gathering to pencil a new map and define again the rights of men. The crownless kingship of Lincoln takes the sky and the Stars and Stripes is above land and sea. See my country first among all nations. I have none to speak for me. I obeyed the command 'go and make the world safe for democracy.' Through tears of women and sighs of men. I would ask if my country is now safe for me. Through me no offense must come. Hope offers the balm in words that are sweet. Therefore, I will ask God to open the door of the titled and great at Versailles and inquire if the American Negro is free at last, or is he the lone, the lonely slave of the world." The above quotation is among the many utterances that this great man has given the propagators and promulgators of this "new democracy" theory to think about, and the hope of the Colorado Statesman is a length of life stretching into many years for Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who is, as the days go by, spreading the truth of our cause and sinking deep into the hearts of men a realization in full of THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN. The whole Negro fraternity of our country should be proud of such a possession and it is in our place to foster the cause that he is sacrificing so much for. MOORFIELD STOREY ON LYNCHING "Only that government is good where an injury to the meanest citizen is regarded as an injury to the state." The admirable manner in which the Negroes of this country have met the test of war should be a source of pride to every American, white or black. Divisional commanders of the expeditionary forces have been warm in their praise of the military qualities of the colored soldiers. American Negroes have proved themselves true sons of the colored troops who fought so gallanty in the Civil war; black men have been awarded American, French and British decorations for valor in the field. German propaganda not only failed to incite Negroes to resist the draft; it was impotent against the loyalty of colored workmen. At home as well as at the battlefront, the Negroes stuck to their jobs and helped to make victory possible. But there is another side of the picture—a shameful one. In a recent speech before the Wisconsin Bar association Moorfield Storey, president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, pointed out the fact that while Negro soldiers were giving up their lives in the battle for democracy, members of their race were being slaughtered by ruffians at home. Since this country entered the war, Mr. Storey declared, 243 Negro men, women and children have been killed and lynched by mobs. In addition to these cases 175 men, women and children were tortured, burned and killed in East St. Louis in July, 1917. At East St. Louis twenty white and ten colored men were given prison terms; in all other instances the murderers have gone unpunished. One lynching, not included in those enumerated by Mr. Storey, did bring official notice. It was that of Robert Prager, a German, murdered by a mob in Illinois. Immediately following that crime the attorney general of the United States issued a statement denouncing mob law and calling for the punishment of the perpetrators. The cabinet held a lengthy discussion of the effects of the Prager killing; as the Crisis, a Negro publication put it, "A German is lynched and the cabinet holds a four-hour session' over it. Since 1885, 4,000 Negroes have been lynched in the United States. No cabinet ever met for four minutes over them." Mr. Storey's speech was made as part of a national campaign to influence popular opinion throughout the country on the subject. As Mr. Storey explains, the fact that most of the lynchings take place in the South does not make the problem a sectional one; the shame is national, and the only way to prevent a repetition of the horrors is through educational propaganda. So long as lynchers are allowed to go unpunished this country will not have fully achieved those high ideals for which so many of her sons have laid down their lives.—Denver Times. The above ought not, at this time, to stir the hearts of the average Mississippiian, Georgian or any of the other bloodthirsty states of the South alone, but, as Mr. Storey says, "THE NATION TO A SENSE OF SHAME." We agree with the writer that the question is not sectional because the majority of the victims are in and of the South, and we have, from time to time, suggested as well as put it squately up to the chief executive of the nation to put a stop to this barbarism which still darkens the pages of America's progress. Think of an average per year of nearly 122 persons victimized by the lawless element of this nation for thirty-three years; and with all the proofs in the recent world conflict that the black American has shown, has proven himself the equal of his brother in loyalty, fighting ability, etc., the frightful incidents increase. But a few days ago a colored sergeant of the military—25th infantry, stationed in Arizona—was shot and killed by a white lieutenant because the former saluted the white officer with a cigarette in his mouth, and this white assassin, Finney by name, confessed to his military superiors. We are thankful for such fearless Americans as Moorfield Storey, and we earnestly believe that an educational propaganda will help as a preventative, but "How long, oh Lord, how long!" we ask, must we await reform? Until another WORLD'S CONFLICT or mother earth flies off her imaginary axis and swallows all humanity—then the end for which we will give praise and thanksgiving? COLORED NURSES SENT TO CAMP DODGE, IOWA. Washington, D. C.—Twenty colored nurses have been assigned by the American Red Cross to the base hospital at Camp Dodge, Ia., and already they have assumed their duties. The understanding is that they are to care for all soldiers at the hospital regardless of color. This is thought to be the first move on the part of the Red Cross to send colored nurses to look after sick and disabled soldiers. The intimation has been given out here that colored nurses will be assigned to other base hospitals in the near future. Now that the ice has been broken many colored Americans are hopeful that the next move of the Red Cross will be to send colored nurses overseas. ADVICE TO "FLU" CONVALESCENTS SPAIN AND ENGLAND REPORT INCREASE IN TUBERCULOSIS AFTER INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. U. S. Public Health Service Warns Public Against Tuberculosis. One Million Cases Tuberculosis in United States—Each a Source of Danger. Influenza Convalescents Should Have Lungs Examined—Colds Which Hang On Often Beginning of Tuberculosis. No Cause for Alarm if Tuberculosis Is Recognized Early—Patent Medicines Not to Be Trusted. ★ Beware tuberculosis after influenza. No need to worry if you take precautions in time. ★ Don't diagnose your own condition. Have your doctor examine your lungs several times at monthly intervals. Build up your strength with right living, good food and plenty of fresh air. ★ Don't waste money on patent medicines advertised to cure tuberculosis. ★ Become a fresh-air crank and enjoy life. ★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★ Washington, D. C. (Special.)—According to a report made to the United States Public Health Service, the epidemic of influenza in Spain has already caused an increase in the prevalence and deaths from pulmonary tuberculosis. A similar association between influenza and tuberculosis was recently made by Sir Arthur Newholme, the chief medical officer of the English public health service, in his analysis of the tuberculosis death rate in England. In order that the people of the United States may profit by the experience of other countries Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Public Health Service has just issued a warning emphasizing the need of special precautions at the present time. "Experience seems to indicate," says the Surgeon General, "that persons whose resistance has been weakened by an attack of influenza are peculiarly susceptible to tuberculosis. With millions of its people recently affected with influenza this country now offers conditions favoring the spread of tuberculosis." One Million Consumptives in the United States. "Then you consider this a serious menace?" was asked. "In my opinion it is, though I hasten to add it is distinctly one against which the people can guard. So far as one can estimate there are at present about one million cases of tuberculosis in the United States. There is unfortunately no complete census available to show exactly the number of tuberculous persons in each state despite the fact that most of the states have made the disease reportable. In New York city, where reporting has been in force for many years, over 35,000 cases of tuberculosis are registered with the Department of Health. Those familiar with the situation believe that the addition of unrecognized and unreported cases would make the number nearer 50,000. The very careful health survey conducted during the past two years in Framingham, Mass., revealed 200 cases of tuberculosis in a population of approximately 15,000. If these proportions hold true for the United States as a whole they would indicate that about one in every hundred persons is tuberculous. Each of these constitutes a source of danger to be guarded against." What to Do. In his statement to the public Surgeon General Blue points out how those who have had influenza should protect themselves against tuberculosis. "All who have recovered from influenza," says the Surgeon General, "should have their lungs carefully examined by a competent physician. In fact, it is desirable to have several examinations made a month apart. Such examinations cannot be made through the clothing nor can they be carried out in two or three minutes. If the lungs are found to be free from tuberculosis every effort should be made to keep them so. This can be done by right living, good food and plenty of fresh air." Danger Signs. The Surgeon General warned especially against certain danger signs, such as "decline" and "colds which hang on." These, he explained, were often the beginning of tuberculosis. "If you do not get well promptly, if your cold seems to hang on or your health and strength decline, remember that these are often the early signs of tuberculosis. Place yourself at once under the care of a competent physician. Tuberculosis is curable in the early stages. Patent Medicines Dangerous in Tuberculosis.

Jerry Chisholm was in the city this week from the mountains. Albert Robinson is visiting in the city, the guest of his son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Edwin F. Caldwell. Mrs. Lillie H. Lewis and Mr. Charles Burton were quietly married last Wednesday. Rev. C. A. Williams officiated. Mrs. Geo. S. Contee received the sad news this week of the death of her brother, who died Dec. 2, in Gallatin, Mo. William Buffet, employe of Daniel & Fisher's, was taken home last Tuesday day morning, the result of illness. We wish him a speedy recovery. Mrs. Sarah Williams of 2612 Downing street, who is the mother of Mrs. Dietle Gross and who has two sons and a son-in-law in the army in France, is recovering from a severe attack of neuritis. Present conditions point to restoration of her health and we hope that speedily. William Parks of Denver Boy Scouts fame and ardent Y. M. C. A. worker, who left here recently for work among the soldiers in France, arrived in Chicago and was summoned right away to Washington by Mr. Moreland, one of the international secretaries. Mr. Parks writes that he is well and getting in fine shape for his duties. He will leave the American shores shortly for European points. William Russ, head waiter at the Denver Athletic club, is still holding his own among the leading men of his profession in this city and state, and is making such an impression on the management of the club that his action will speak for itself louder than, we can describe. With an experience of about thirty years, having served the exclusive Denver club nearly twenty-five, then the University club, and in his present position Mr. Russ has proven that "waiting" is a profession, and if studied as any other branch it carries lucrative reward, as well as creates a popularity worth while having. With the series of holiday events at the athletic club, a number of extra waiters can be used and men so desiring can apply to the head waiter for service. We wish him more success in his sphere of employment and trust he will keep up the reputation of making good. BUSINESS MEN LEAVE FOR OTHER FIELDS Henry J. M. Brown and Henry Cooper, proprietors of the Rocky Mountain Shoe Repair Shop, 2632 Welton street, left the city this week for Pocatello, Idaho, where they will do business on a larger scale, as there is a demand for the trade in those quarters. Mr. Brown was a popular resident of Denver for many years, having served faithfully the jewelry firm of Starks for over twenty years, when he decided to do business for himself in the shoe line. An investor in several enterprises, member of various secret societies, etc., he identified himself with everything that tends to race uplift and was highly respected in the community. His partner, Mr. Cooper is another worthy citizen who, in spite of keen competition and greatly increased prices in materials did his part as a first-class workmen and received the commendation of the public as a man for the job. The inducements to go to Pocatello being very attractive, these business men resolved to depart and with the best wishes of the Colorado Statesman and the Denver public, though we regret their loss, we wish them every success in trade, and we cannot help from saying we covet Idaho's gain. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC In order to better accommodate the large number that may desire to attend the annual election of officers of the Denver branch of the N. A. A. C.

A WELL-DESERVED TRIBUTE TO THE LATE MARGUERITE Marguerite Clark was born in Denver, Colo., July 15, 1899, died Nov. 17, 1918. She graduated from the eighth grade of the Bronwell school, and during her attendance there endeared herself to both teachers and pupils. She attended the Manual Training High school, graduating with her class in June, 1917. She enrolled as a student at Denver University and attended there for one term; on account of failing health, was unable to enter this term. She was modest and unassuming, studious and ambitious to become a proficient student. She studied a course of the piano school under Miss Beatrice Thrashley, and appeared in public recitals at different intervals, rendering some of the most difficult compositions. On account of her diligence and enthusiasm, she made remarkable progress in her music. She was reared in the Sunday school of Zlon Baptist church, where she was considered one of the dearest and best loved girls. About six years ago she became a member of the church, entering the Christian life at the same time with her father. As a result of her sunny disposition and sympathetic nature, she was popular among her many friends. Marguerite gave promise of an attractive personality whose development through patient and ambitious search for learning seemed destined to open for her a life of great usefulness. As she entered into womanhood the full promise of a faithful Christian life was a prophecy well-nigh fulfilled. Her home life was marked with a cheerful disposition, and her last hours were of patient submission to the will of her Maker. She is greatly missed by her loving father and mother, sister and brothers. The Lord gives and the Lord has taken away. Blessed are they who enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. She is not dead. She still lives in our hearts. THE PASSING AWAY OF T. O. MASON But a few days ago and our former popular townsman and friend, T. O. Mason of the city health department, was among us apparently in good health and in the performance of his duties carrying out the special instructions to the public guarding against the dread influenza epidemic that is creating so much havoc among us. Now he has passed to the Great Beyond, having died last Monday after a very illness. Mr. Mason lived in Denver for several years, and afterwards in Washington, D. C., then Albuquerque, N. M., and returned a few years ago, where he spent the remainder of his life. Quiet and unassuming, he was much respected and had many friends in the community. Being a property owner, he contributed his quota to the upkeep of the city's treasury and was always ready to assist as well as promote anything for the development of humanity's righteous cause. A faithful member of the Masonic fraternity, Y. M. C. A. and other institutions, he never forgot the organization of the church and contributed much to the propagation of the Christian religion. He leaves a wife, Mrs. T. O. Mason of 1815 Clarkson street and a number of other relatives to mourn his death, and the Colorado Statesman joins his large circle of friends in offering its sincere and heartfelt sympathy to his wife and other surviving members of the family in this sad hour, commending them to Him Who guides and shapes our destinies.

Children THE ROANOKE MINING AND MILL ING COMPANY. A TRUE INVESTMENT. And there is no guessing about the stability of this company as we are well acquainted with its officials and we know that the security offered to investors is one that combines safety with the consistent growth in the value of the security itself. Being the owners of the famous Gilman group of mines that have been producing gold and silver in very large quantities, the company is now extending an opportunity to the public to make a sane and safe investment which is not only beneficial today but for all time. The demand for gold and silver is another proof of the wisdom of throging in our lot with this company at this time, especially as the heads are known to this community as business men with an unimpeachable integrity, and as they have made a success in other lines, so can they do with this company that offers the most advantageous transactions desired by any people. For full information apply to W. C. Johnston, vice president and secretary, who can be found during business hours at 221 Foster Bldg. Sixteenth and Champa streets. A better CHRISTMAS GIFT could not be given than a share or some shares of stock in this company which has proven itself a lucrative investment. CHRISTMAS SHOPPING Gift buying, this year, will not be done so haphazardly as usual. People will consider where they can get the best their money will buy, and so Michaelson's, the Big Store, corner of Fifteenth and Larimer streets, will naturally be the busy store of Denver, because their underselling policy will be more appreciated than ever before, with Adler Collegian Clothes agency for men's suits and overcoats, and Red Cross shoes for women, and Dubbelbilt suits for boys wearing knee pants, and Hawes hats, and a women's department that will compare with any in size, and smaller prices for everything. Surely the Michaelson store may anticipate the greatest business of its career. They are constant advertisers with us, and we wish them success they so forcibly demonstrate they deserve. American Woodmen's regular meeting Friday, Dec. 13, at Old Colony hall, 8:00 p. m. A large and appreciative gathering is expected. Many matters of importance to be taken up S. B. W. MAY, Commander, CARRIE L. M'CLAIN, Clerk of Camp. PROF. GEORGE R. BRIDGEWORTH INSTALLED AS NEW PRINCIPAL Sunflower Agricultural Association Meets. One of the finest displays ever witnessed was that of the Sunflower Agricultural association at the Topeka Industrial institute. This was the tenth session of the organization, and never before in its history was a greater session held, nor the display more beautiful than that held on the 27th, 28th and 29th of November. The Auditorium was liberally decked with huge pumpkins, potatoes, turnips, watermelons, in fact every kind of vegetable. There were thousands of cans of different kinds of fruit made by the wives of farmers, clubs and the domestic science students of the Topeka Industrial institute. On the walls were many kinds of beautiful pieces of fancy work. The sessions were well attended by many wealthy farmers from different points in Kansas. The Thanksgiving and Peace services were held Thursday morning. Rev. J. C. Rogers from Hutchinson, Kan., delivered an excellent sermon on "The Service of the Negro Soldier on the Fring Line." At the afternoon session, Hon. Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, made an interesting talk—subject: "The Acquirement of the Negro Americans on the Farm and the Opportunities of the Young People." Other addresses were made by Dr. S. E. J. Watson, Rev. W. W. Russell, Rev. H. W. King and Prof. Kirk of Manhattan. The grandest feature of the occasion took place Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock when Prof. Geo. R. Bridgeworth was inaugurated as new principal. Prominent men from different sections of the country were here to be present and to take part in the occasion. The principal speaker was Gov. Arthur Capper. In his closing address, he praised the colored Americans for the part they had played in this world's war, and paid tribute to the work being done in the Industrial and Educational institute. Other addresses were made by Professor Bridgeworth, W. D. Ross, state superintendent of public instruction; Rev. J. H. Van Leu of Wichita, Kan.; Dr. I, C. Lyman of New York, Prof. E. Ridley and Prof. Fred Roundtree, both of this city. Prizes were awarded Saturday morning to those who carried off honors at the exhibition. Day and Night Phone Main 2701. DR. C. E.

DENVER, COLORADO F F I I I Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado COMING EVENTS. Dec. 9-13- Colorado Farmers' and Farm Women's Congress at Fort Collins. Dec. 20-21- Mid-winter meeting of Colorado Editorial Association at Denver. January- Western Stock Show at Denver. In November 20,159 liquor permits were issued. Seven employés of the State Land Board have been dismissed. James L. Wright of Yuma was wounded in action in France. Franklin M. Richie, pioneer Colorado and for fifteen years secretary to the public librarian in Denver, was buried in Riverside cemetery. The sugar division clerical department of the Federal Food Administration for Colorado has closed. The canceling of the sugar cards ended the clerical work. Colorado draft boards will not continue their organizations until the national army men have been discharged from service, as was generally believed in military circles. Lieut. Col. Rice Means and Lieut. Harry M. Gambrel are recovering in a hospital at Bordeaux, France. They were gassed just a few days prior to the signing of the armistice. That the second wave of the Spanish influenza epidemic in Denver is subsiding was the opinion expressed by Mayor W. F. R. Mills and Dr. William H. Sharpley, manager of health. Flu masks went off the people of Denver, except in certain cases, Sunday, the exception being of nurses, doctors and others attending sufferers of influenza in hospitals or private homes. Plans of the government to co-operate with employers of labor by discharging skilled men from the army on request were announced by the United States employment service in Denver. Every citizen is asked by the Denver County Council of Defense to encourage soldiers to stay in the army until regularly discharged and to work against deliberate or thoughtless desertion. Colorado is expected to enroll 5,000 boys for work on the farms next summer, as a part of the activities of the United States Boys' Working reserve, during national enrollment week early in 1919. The body of an unidentified man was found at the foot of a cliff near the Good Night ranch, fourteen miles west of Pueblo, by Freeman Fraizer, a boy of 14 years, who was out hunting rabbits. Frank Murphy, stockman of North Park, Colorado, and former member of the Colorado Legislature, died at Walden. He was about 30 years old and was unmarried. He was a graduate of the University of Wyoming. The people of Colorado are now under a verbal pledge to save and export an enormous tonnage of food next year. It is figured that for every thirty pounds saved last year fifty-two must be saved this year so that Federal Food Administrator Hoover's plan of feeding the world may be accomplished. Mr. Hoover is now abroad studying food conditions. Senator and Mrs. John F. Shafroth are planning a family reunion for Christmas day at their Washington, D. C., residence, expecting to have their sons, Jack and Morrison Shafroth, with them for the holidays. Both of the boys are in the army and Morrison is still in a hospital in France, suffering from a wound which, it is feared, will disfigure him permanently. Fewer cases and deaths from Spanish influenza are reported from towns throughout the state. Colorado may yet add $60,000 to its inheritance fund through the assessed tax against the $3,000,000 estate of John H. Harbeck of Boulder. The will of Sarah Hanrahan, agen Denver woman who died Oct. 13 at 4053 Vallejo street, leaves all of her "canned fruits, pickles, eggs, kindling, coal and bedding" to the Craig colony. Bequests of $1 each are made to five brothers and sisters. Her bank account of $115, after her funeral expenses have been paid and debts settled, is left to a brother, J. H. Herlinger, and wife. Returning Colorado soldiers will be given every assistance through the United States employment service to obtain employment in their chosen trades, and the Colorado Council of Defensa will assist in this movement through community effort. The council has sent out word to the county organizations telling of bureaus to be established throughout the state, using local offices of community labor boards and public service reserve agents to further the plan. As his 8-year-old son, Raymond, screamed in terror and his wounded wife, Mrs. Daisy Center, 35 years old, begged him not to shoot her again, as she was already fatally wounded, Pearl Center fired a second bullet through her heart, killing her instantly, in their apartments in Denver. Miss Stella Raithel of Denver received a telegram announcing the death on Nov. 2 of her sister, Miss Hattie M. Raithel, a member of the army nurses' corps. She was buried in London three days following her death. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Colorado's casualties recorded in Dec. 2 lists given out by the War Department include six killed in action, two dead of wounds received in action, seven dead of disease, three wounded severely, four wounded, degree undetermined, and one slightly wounded. The killed are Lieut. Gleen K. Spencer, Pueblo; Louis Brier, Sloss; Frank J. Blakeslee, Conifer; Roy Yarbrough, Amola; Alvin Severin, Colorado Springs, and Wylie Sheets, Durango. The dead of wounds received in action are Andrew M. Hrabcak, Pueblo, and Vern D. Morris, Dove Creek. The dead of disease are Nurse Hattie M. Raithel, Denver; James E. Dilley, Gunnison; Paul J. Hammond, Cripple Creek; Carl L. Jeuel, Hugo; Leon Jewell, Silver Plume; Andrew F. Miller, Hotchkiss, and John M. Murray, Denver. The severely wounded are Harry Martin Christensen, Denver; Earl O. Cook, Hudson, and Walter F. Allen, Palisade. The wounded, degree undetermined, are Lieut. T. William Timpson, Denver; Peter A. Jacklitch, Pueblo; Alfred F. Sparks, Velle Green, and Amarante Lopez Erie. Among the slightly wounded is John Altamore, Pueblo. The fluorspar industry in the Jamestown camp. Boulder county, which was revived in 1917 by the government demand for the fluxing metal, has grown to the volume of fifty tons daily and is still increasing as rapidly as man power and road conditions will permit. Most of this spar ore is hauled to Boulder for treatment and shipment to the east. A small amount is milled in the little red mill just at the lower end of the camp. H. Sandspra, 58 years old, the largest man in Denver, died at his residence, 2861 Stout street. Sandspra weighed 420 pounds and was six feet two inches tall. His death was due to pneumonia, although he had been ill several years with Bright's disease. He was also affected with the "sleeping sickness" known in the African jungles and was the only person in Denver—so far as known—who ever suffered with this malady. Disease has caused the death of four more Colorado boys, according to the casualty lists made public by the War Department Nov. 30. This section of the list includes Richard Harvey and George H. Wallwork, Denver, Ray O. Hall, Fowler, and Zotto D. Stoddard, Cedar, Elia Peternake, Fort Morgan, has been killed in action; Paul P. Rice, Banning, is missing in action, and Pascco Solas, Clark, is wounded, degree undetermined. Fewer Colorado registrants were rejected in cantonments than those from many other states, from Feb. 10 to Oct. 7 of this year, according to a statement issued by Capt. Horace G. Wetherill for the information of medical advisory boards in the state, over which he has supervision. The percentage of rejections for the state during that period was 6.3 as against 7.5 for the nation at large. James Larsen, proprietor of a small grocery at 3091 West Thirty-eight street, Denver, was shot and instantly killed Saturday night by two youthful highwaymen who entered his store wearing flap masks and attempted to rob him. After murdering Larsen the bandits left the store without tampering with the cash register, and escaped. Limitation of the jurisdiction of the Juvenile Court in Denver respecting adults again was pointed out by the Colorado Supreme Court in giving an opinion in the habeas corpus case of Charles Songer, serving a term of ninety-nine years for rape. The tribunal ordered Songer's release. He has been in prison for four years. With the increased valuation of $17,500,000, the reduction of one mill and a half in the 1918 tax levy for state, city and county and school purposes will save the people of Denver and the county $175,000 in taxes the coming year. The total levy for this year will be $18½ mills compared to 20 mills in 1917. Collections of state inheritance tax during the biennial period which closed Nov. 30 exceeded the estimate by the twenty-first General Assembly by $360,434.12, according to the biennial report of the inheritance tax department. Only once since the establishment of the department has this sum been exceeded. During the two years of 1915 and 1916 the state collected slightly in excess of $1,000,000. These large collections were chiefly due to the fact that an unusually large number of wealthy persons died during those two years. One estate alone paid nearly $400,000. That George Eudaley took a voluntary part in the holdup of Miss Mildred Gates at Dallas, Tex., and W. D. Otter of Chicago, on the night of Sept. 13, and was guilty of the highway robbery with a gun, was the verdict rendered by the jury in the West Side Court in Denver after four hours' deliberation. Wilson Pottinger of Glenwood Springs accidentally shot himself through the heart while on his way to the hills to indulge in practice shooting. He died instantly, the bullet piercing his heart. Maud Dahl, 23, and Jerry Miragowski, 35, were killed, and Earl Parker, 26, is at the county hospital with a bullet through his right lung, and the police are looking for Joe Sosa who is alleged to have done the shooting at the girl's room in a hotel at 1928 Lawrence street in Denver. With "Highways Transport Day" a matter of the past, the highways transport committee of the Colorado State Council of Defense is now actively engaged in preparing legislation which will be asked of the coming session of the State Legislature. BRITISH DEMAND KAISER'S DEATH FORFEITURE OF LIVES JUST PEN ALTY FOR RULERS GUILTY OF WORLD WAR. SAYS GEDDES. FRENCH BACK MOVE PREMIER LLOYD GEORGE FAVORS EXPULSION AND EXCLUSION OF ENEMY ALIENS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Dec. 6.—David Lloyd George, the prime minister, in the election campaign, gave a restatement of his policy. In it he declares that the men responsible for the war cannot escape because their heads were crowned, but that they must be tried by an international court. Mr. Lloyd George also declared himself in favor of the expulsion and exclusion of all enemy aliens. — Dundee.—The British representatives at the peace conference will demand general and absolute abolition of conscription throughout Europe. Winston Spencer Churchill made this announcement in a speech here. London.—Sir Auckland Geddes, president of the local government board and minister of national service, in a public address said that the line of policy advocated by the coalition government was a peace which, so far as the enemy powers were concerned, should be based on stern justice, and so far as those men who planned and started the war were concerned should be founded on justice of the nature meted out in the highest courts of the land. Such men as the former German emperor, Enver Pasha and the former rulers of Bulgaria and Austria would be placed on trial, and if found guilty their lives would be forfeited. "Men guilty of unspeakable atrocities upon our prisoners and upon the civilian inhabitants of the invaded lands," he continued, "must stand trial and if they are condemned must suffer death." "LETTERS-FROM-HOME" WEEK. War Department Commission Wants Soldiers' Kin to Help Maintain Morale of Army. New York.-The week of Dec. 15 has been designated by the War Department commission on training camp activities as a time for special letters to be written by mothers, fathers, sisters, wives and sweethearts of the men now overseas. The week has been called "Letters-From-Home" week, and the purpose is to apply the "home touch" to a broad-gauged military program for maintaining the morale of the men who find themselves idle after weeks of strenuous fighting. The war department hopes, through these letters, to keep the men contented, "straight" and ambitious to live up to the high ideals of American manhood. A model letter such as the government wants the mothers and fathers especially to write has been prepared by the War Department. This, with letters from Secretary of War Baker and Raymond B. Fosdick, chairman of the commission, indorsing the plan, has been mailed to newspapers throughout the country. The letter particularly asks that the men overseas direct their attention to wholesome recreation and activities, instead of to the unwholesome influences that might result from the enforced period of idleness wherever large bodies of troops are awaiting orders to return home. Three Get Highest U. S. Medal. Washington.—Three American soldiers—a colonel, a captain and a private—have been designated by President Wilson to receive the highest military decoration given by the United States for valor in action—the congressional medal of honor. They have won the first of the medals awarded during the war with Germany, and their names are: Col. Charles W. Whittlesey, 388th infantry; Capt. George G. McMurtry and Private Thomas C. Niebaur. Navy to Release 100,000 Men. Washington. — Discharge, of 20 per cent of the navy's wartime personnel, about 100,000 men, has been authorized. Secretary Daniels said the men would be released as quickly as possible with due regard to the convenience of the service. Private yachts, motorboats and other craft taken over by the navy for the war already are being turned back to their owners. Mr. Daniels said by February 700 craft will have been stricken from the navy list. Carter Glass Succeeds McAdoo Washington—Representative Carter Glass of Virginia was nominated by President Wilson to be secretary of treasury. Mr. Glass will go into office Dec. 16 under an agreement with Secretary McAdoo. British Transport Lands 1,922 Yanks. New York.—The British transport Orcab, with 1,922 American troops aboard, arrived here from Liverpool. She is the fourth transport to bring returning soldiers. PRESIDENT SELECTS PEACE DELEGATION PRESIDENT SELECTS PEACE DELEGATION MEN WHO WILL SIT WITH THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE AT THE PARIS CONFERENCE. GEN. BLISS MILITARY EXPERT Secretary Lansing and Colonel House. With Henry White, Ex-Ambassador to France, Are the Others Chosen for Positions on Important Body. Washington.—President Wilson personally will head the American delegation to the peace conference. This was announced officially Friday night at the White House. The other delegates will be: Secretary of State Lansing. Henry White, formerly American ambassador to France. The names were disclosed in the following announcement from the White House: "It was announced at the executive office that the representatives of the United States at the peace conference would be the president himself, the secretary of state, Henry White, recently ambassador to France; Edward M. House and Gen. Tasker H. Bliss. "It was explained that it had not been possible to announce these appointments before because the number of representatives each of the chief belligerents was to send had, until a day or two ago, been under discussion." Bliss' Name a Surprise. The only surprise in the announcement was the selection of Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, former chief of staff of the army and now the representative of the American war department in the supreme war council of the allies. For several days it had been generally understood that the Republican member of the delegation would be Mr. White. That Secretary Lansing and Colonel House would be the other members had been unofficially admitted. White Long in Service. Henry White, long in diplomatic service, was the American ambassador to France during President Roosevelt's administration. His diplomatic service began in 1883, when he served for two years as secretary to the American legation at Vienna. He was transferred to London in 1884 as second secretary of the American legation and in 1886 he was made secretary to the legation there, being recalled by President Cleveland in 1893. During his career he also served the government in special diplomatic capacities, representing the United States at the international conference in London, 1887-88, for the abolition of sugar bounties. He was a delegate from the United States to the international conference on agriculture at Rome in 1905, and also was the American delegate to the international conference on Moroccan affairs at Algeciras, From March, 1905, to March, 1907, Mr. White was the American ambassador to Italy, leaving that important post to become the ambassador to France, where he remained until December, 1909. Will Parley in Berlin. London.—Representatives of Great Britain, France and the United States will arrive in Berlin shortly to discuss the armistice, the Berlin correspondent of the Cologne-Gazette says he understands. A meeting of the allied leaders in London will be a preliminary to the peace conference, the Daily Express says. Colonel House and Premier Orlando of Italy will be here with the British and French statesmen. Paris.—A group of members of the chamber of deputies representing agricultural interests have sent a letter to Premier Clemenceau expressing objection to giving special representation to the socialists at the peace conference. If that should be agreed to, however the deputies urge that the farming and peasant classes also be represented, since they had shed blood more freely than any other class. Bavaria for Separate Peace. London.—Bavaria probably will ask to have separate plenipotentiaries at the peace negotiations and will claim conditions of a separate peace, says the Paris Matin in commenting on the action of Bavaria in breaking off relations with the government at Berlin. The Socialist council of Munich has telegraphed to the executive committee of the Berlin Socialist council demanding the dismissal of Dr. W. S. Solf, foreign minister; Philipp Scheidemann, minister of colonies, and Mathias Erzberger, who, it has been announced, will conduct negotiations preliminary to signing a treaty of peace. The telegram invites the Berlin council to overthrow a government which continues such persons in important posts. Italy to Support Wilson Washington.—There is a deal of discussion of the role the president will play at the peace conference and the lineup of the nations on his peace principles. The aims of the United States and Italy are similar. Italy blinds herself to the upholding of human, rather than selfish rights, and fully agrees with President Wilson's views that the moral law is superior. The Italian plenipotentiaries will support the United States on all fundamental questions, it is thought. A friendly look is a better book For precept than you'll find 'Mong the sages wise or the libra- ries. INVITING DISHES FOR COOL DAYS It is often the little touch of garnish given to a dish which takes it out of the ordinary and makes it a thing to be remembered. PINEAPPLE The woman who loves cookery and enjoys originating and experimenting will very often surprise herself the previous results most happily with the various results. A half cupful of whipped cream and an ounce wedge of cheese may figure in a most tasty garnish. Heap the whipped cream on either pumpkin or apple pie and sprinkle over it the grated cheese. If the pie is served at the table it should be covered before taking in. If cut, each piece may be decorated. The latter makes a more attractive dish. Marrons Glaces.—These will be fine to send to the sailor lad who loves sweets. Shell some large Italian chestnuts and blanch them in boiling water until the inner skin and outer shell can be easily removed without breaking the nut. Drop each nut in warm acidulated water for a few minutes; then simmer them in a sugar sirup until tender, using one part sugar to two parts water. When the nuts are tender bottle and fill with the thickened sirup, sealing like ordinary fruit. When wanted for use drop the nuts into a heavy sirup that cracks in cold water. Dip the nuts into this singly and dry on oiled plates. Walnuts, almonds or pecans may be dipped in melted chocolate and dried in the same way. Rabbit Casserole.—Cut up the rabbit at the joints and lard the legs and breast with strips of bacon. Fry in a little fat until well browned, season with salt, pepper, sliced onion and sprinkle with flour, then brown again. Add a pint of stock and cook in the oven until tender. To many the wild flavor is objectionable. This may be removed by soaking in salt water a few hours. A bunch of herbs may be added to the rabbit while cooking if high seasoning is desired. Cook in a casserole and serve from it. A hot chocolate sauce served with stewed ripe pears is a dish much liked by chocolate lovers. It is unfortunate that many who might entertain simply hesitate for fear of criticism; and so they lose the pleasure of giving and their friends the taking of their hospitality. Man is not only his own architect, but he is even his own posterity. THANSGIVING VEGETABLES. The time-honored mashed potato, baked squash and boiled onions are still our favorites, yet a change in the manner of serving these same common dishes will make them much more interesting. ```markdown ``` Beets that are baked in the oven have a better flavor than those which are boiled. Care should be taken in turning them not to break the skin. Serve them chopped or sliced and seasoned with olive oil, cayenne and a teaspoonful of sugar, with salt to taste. Stuffed Onions.—Prepare as many onions as there are people to serve. Parbull until tender but unbroken. Drain and remove the centers and mix with a little cooked ham, finely chopped. Molsten with cream and the yolk of an egg well bent; season with salt, pepper and sweet fat. Place a little fat on top of each, place in a deep dish and bake, basting with milk or better, cream, during the baking. Cook covered for the first few minutes, then heap a spoonful of buttered crumbs on top to brown. When the large fresh mushrooms may be obtained there is nothing more delicious to serve with stuffing or forcement made of chopped ham and seasoning. Fill the caps and bake in a hot oven fifteen minutes. Braised Cabbage.—After cutting a good-sized cabbage in half let it stand an hour or more, then boll in boiling water to cover until tender, adding salt when nearly done. Drain and remove the hard center after it has been cooking twenty minutes. Put into a saucepan one sliced carrot, one turnip, sliced, one stalk of celery, a few sprigs of parsley, one sliced onion and a bunch of any herbs. Lay the cabbage on top, pour over two cupfuls of stock and boil until tender. Drain and serve on a hot dish. The large curved stalks of well bleached celery may be filled with seasoned cream cheese and served as a garnish to a dish of salted nut meats. The meats are heaped in the center of a platter with the celery stalks radiating around them. Nuts cooked in a little olive oil and seasoned with salt and a little cayenne are especially appetizing. Pecans, walnuts and hickory nuts make a good mixture. After middle age the great temptation is to overeat. If this war does nothing more for our morals than to awaken a habit of abstinence its effect will have a far-reaching benefit. Nellie Maxwell Sales Daily at 2 p.m. Office Furniture a Specialty.

To Keep Children Warm THE FILM "THE LITTLE GIRL" BY JOHN HARRISON. A Victory Negligee A In all well regulated, up-to-date homes, even In northern latitudes, children are given the benefit of outdoor life from babyhood on. His babyship sleeps, well wrapped up, in a room with open windows, or on a sheltered porch, or perhaps in his carriage in park or garden. If his life is ordered by a trained nurse or equally well informed mother. Little tots, old enough to play and tumble about, are clad in knitted garments, leggings, sweaters, caps, hoods and mittens, and seem as comfortable in the nipping cold as young cubs. The next stage, so far as dress is concerned, marks the parting of the ways for boys and girls. When the little miss arrives at three or four years she takes on furs and they are her privilege for the rest of her life. Miniature neckpieces and muffs are made for these diminutive ladies. Their cloth and silk coats are provided with fur collars and cuffs, small fur hats, or fur-trimmed bonnets, crown their curls. Many furs of indefinite origin are used for children's sets, made in imitation of other skins by resourceful furriers. Even so, one wonders that there is fur enough to go around; it is so universally worn by grown-ups. A set that owes its markings to art, instead of nature is shown in the pic. A Victory Even before news of the signing of the armistice set the hearts of the world to rejoicing, apparel began to reflect the cheerful mood of a public certain of victory. Among other things optimism showed itself first in more picturesque and colorful millinery, more formal evening dress and in dinner and house gowns of splendidly colored oriental silks. The signs point to reaction from things quiet and sedate to things lively and bright in the matter of clothes. Soon we shall see how the colonies of fashionables at southern resorts express themselves in clothes. When it comes to negligees—there are no two minds. They are the loveliest of garments and only worn for the eyes of those privileged to enjoy them within the walls of home. War or no war, women consider themselves entitled to these lovely fineries during the strenuous times just passing. We may be sure their home-returning heroes will find them gloriously arrayed, and negligees will be as lovely as they know how to make them. A beautiful (and perhaps a bit extravagant) example of the negligee is pictured above. It is a superb interpretation in face, over soft pink satin slip, of dress for the eyes of intimates. It is made of lace flouncing showing a renaissance ratttern on a fine net background. Two flounces form the --- ture. It is pretty and inexpensive—as fur gcs—and nicely suited to the little girl of eleven or so who is so well pleased with it. These fur sets make ideal Christmas gifts. Most of them are made of inexpensive pelts of small animals that are plentiful enough. But among the furts suited to children are ermine, beaver and squirrel—the last a great favorite—but these in garments, are less popular than inexpensive furts, even with people who need not consider price. On little coats it is not unusual to find small collars and cuffs of Hudson seal. Use of Lace. The French models, some of them, show lace. This is an interesting announcement just now. For one thing, we haven't used lace for a good many years, excepting a bit of filet or valenciennes in our lingerie blouses. There were a few black lace evening frocks a few seasons ago, but on the whole lace has not been in high fashion for a long time. Another interesting phase of this lace question is this: Lace is scarce. At least, with the lace workers of Belgium out of the market, and with the lace workers of European countries presumably engaged in various other industries, it is difficult to see how much new lace can be produced. For lace making takes time. Negligee skirt portion, one of them having a quilting of pink satin ribbon about it. There is a draped border of the lace gathered on the shoulders and opening at the front over a "V," revealing georgette crepe in folds over the satin underbody. And there are long "angel" sleeves and a girdle made of folds of pink ribbon. A corsage of small pink silk buds is the final and alluring touchucked in the girdle. The same kind of buds, with ribbon quilling, convert two flouces of lace into a boudou cap that is equal to the demands of the negligue. The pink satin slippers are laced with ribbon over the instep and ankle and with the help of silk hose to match, they play a part up to the standard set by the rest of the toilet. Julie Bottomly A Slipover Blouse. A pretty slipover blouse is of white dotted swiss, with deep circular yoke of white organdie, to which the dotted swiss blouse and sleeves are attached. The organdie yoke is rounded out at the throat and finished only by a corded piping. Cuffs are of organdie and the long sleeves of dotted swiss. Swiss and organdie are joined throughout the blouse with lines of hemstitching. J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr. Phone Main 6123—Day or Night.
