LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY A NEGRO AT THE PEACE TABLE VOL. XXV. A NEGR THE Among the various race groups whose interests, many and varied, are destined to be effected by the deliberations at the Peace Table, the Negro must take his stand and insist upon a righteous adjustment of his case before the bar. The part black men have played in this tragic struggle for world democracy has unquestionably earned for them a consideration which this great court of justice cannot and must not ignore. Democracy, to be genuine, can be neither black nor white, but always must be just plain democracy. Nothing else will do. Nothing less will suffice to make it a lasting good to the world. This is no time to side-step the issue. The cards must all be laid upon the table and the character of the game must be above suspicion. Without justice there can be no lasting peace. Without justice to all men growing out of the approaching peace conference, all the great rivers of blood have flowed in vain. God forbid that man shall err in this most crucial moment in world affairs. Japan and China are preparing to take a determined stand against racial discrimination. The Black Republic of Liberia, as one of the Allies, will unquestionably be represented at the Peace Conference. The one question which should be on the lips of every American Negro today is: "WHO SHALL REPRESENTATIVE BE?" This is a vital matter and cannot be trusted to chance, if we are to have a real true representative of and for all our claims at the shrine of democracy. It is not enough that we should let the destiny of our Race rest in a general representative, which forsooth may in the crush of affairs, overlook some little matter which may very vitally affect our future. In a most forceful speech very recently delivered in New York, the Honorable Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, proclaimed against the restoration of the African colonies to Germany. This was a master stroke and set men, both white and black to thinking and talking. Here is the one Negro who had the foresight and courage to strike at a wrong which has made bitter the lives of millions of African blacks, with the result that this utterance falling from the lips of an American Negro has arrested the attention of world diplomacy. All during this period of war stress in which all too often black men have been made to feel the sting and cut of the color line, Dr. Emmett J. Scott has, with a fine diplomacy seasoned with the majesty of colmness, courageously stood for race rights, bringing about order where chaos might have reigned and reduced wrong into right. It is particularly fortunate for our race in America that we have as our representative such a man who has his finger upon the pulse of world diplomacy and has the touch with men and affairs which are shaping the destinies of races and peoples. --- Upon the broad and capable shoulders of Emmett J. Scott, we with a sigh of satisfaction place the mantle of responsibility, burdened though it may be with the woes and trials of a race, and urge that he be selected to go to the Peace Table to plead the cause for all black men. For just once, for the sake of a cause, let us all lay aside our inter-racial differences, both imaginary and real, in order to make one long, hard, strong pull together and place Scott in a seat around the Peace Table.—Baltimore Daily Herald. WHITES ANTICIPATE RACIAL Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 20.—Prominent white men of this city, as well as political leaders throughout the South, are seeking to re-establish the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. This organization, known as the Columbian Union, carrying with it the label of a secret order, chartered in Nashville, having as its moving spirit and organizer Arthur Mills (white), who signs himself "Majestic Viceroy," claims as its purpose the re-establishing of "white supremacy" throughout the South. In the Chattanooga Times, Dec. 12, the story of the birth of this organization is told, in which it said that the purposes of the order are mysteriously surrounded with the traditions of the past and are among the most unusual secret organizations, yet attempted. And that the organizers anticipate class or racial troubles, following the demobilization of "Negro" soldiers on their return home from the field of battle. The literature, and Mr. Mills, its organizer, specifically sets forth that this organization is the outgrowth of a desire to perpetuate the "Ku Klux Klan" of other days. Prominent Men in Order. As to just how this lodge will secure its protection, if it is to carry out, as it states, the former traditions of the Ku Klux Klan, in which history records pillage, murder, brutality, and the most inhuman savagery executed in a civilized community, is said to be a matter entirely secret with the members who have been initiated in the order. It is, however, notably significant that the name of such men as Hon. Robert T. Quarles (white), said to be a prominent state official; Frank Gilbreath (white), an official of the Press Syndicate, Atlanta, Ga.; Hon. Thos, C. Rye, governor of the great state of Tennessee, and Gov.-Elect A. H. Roberts appear as charter members of this organization. Strikingly singular, this paragraph appears in the by-laws of the order: "The order is open to only such white American citizens as confess their sins direct to God, and who observe such religious holidays and teachings as are laid down in the New Testament." Strange as it may appear, these gentlemen composing the organization as DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 28, 1918 State Hist. & Nat Hist 500 State House table Negro Paper RADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SAT sume to claim divine aid in the carrying out of their intent. In another paragraph allegiance to the United States is also sworn, which does not seem compatible with the spirit of the Ku Klux Klan. Seek White Supremacy. Seek White Supremacy. It is claimed that Mr. Mills is very much interested in getting the government in the hands of the white race, thereby making possible white supremacy. This argument falls of its own weight, especially in view of the fact that for the past quarter of a century our people in the South have been stripped of every vestige of political opportunity, and their voice in the government has been null and void. The birth of this organization has been viewed by some as having been born for the purpose of further depriving our people of political advancement. It is said that the real purpose of this organization was not born because of any fear of the hindrance of white supremacy, but rather for the purpose of stifling the very soul and conscience of the men who have gone forth in the fields of France and offered their lives for the establishing of a world democracy. It is feared by the promoters of the Ku Klux Klan that on the return of these soldiers who, having tasted liberty and freedom, will ask for a more generous portion from the hands of their own government than that heretofore meted out to them. Order Warrants Investigation. Order Warrants Investigation. Mr. Mills may yet find that this organization, which he is endeavoring so earnestly to put into operation, having as its aim and object the suppression of the black man, may be called upon to do a greater work in the suppression of the spirit of bosevikism which is threatening to disturb the functions of this government. And in the ultimate end it may be found that this stone which "this builder" is attempting to reject and haras, may be called upon to be used as the chief cornerstone of the building. The operations and influence of this organization should warrant the attention of the Department of Justice, for it is plainly evident that in the turbulent times no organization should be permitted to become a factor which indicates in its written and spoken language that its purpose is to take the law into its own nands. The name Ku Klux Klan implies disorder, bloodshed, rapine and everything which goes to make up the destruction of the centralization of government. OFFICER STEALS MONEY AND MAN'S WIFE. Camp Lee, Va., Dec. 14.—Frank M.

EDITOR RIVERS' NIECE SCORES GREAT SUCCESS IN ORGAN Miss Frances Edmonia Chambers, niece of Editor J. D. D. Rivers of the "Colorado Statesman," made quite an impression on music lovers when she made her debut recently in Baltimore as a concert organist. She played on the pipe organ of Bethel A. M. E. Church, the same being the largest of any colored church in that city, with its three manuals and fifty-six stops, and she received enconiums from a large an critical audience who listened with keen interest to the program which could only be rendered by a real artist. The following from the Baltimore Daily Herald, a white publication, is encouraging not only to Miss Chambers but others who are aspiring to the role of recognition and fame, and we join her many well-wishers in hoping a successful career in the art of music, which has no superiority, as it affects deeply all races, classes and nations: MISS CHAMBERS SCORES AT BETHEL'S FIRST RECITAL Good Crowd of Music Lovers Hear Fine Program. In the presence of a crowd of music lovers that was intensely appreciative Miss Frances Edmonia Chambers, the talented organist of St. Paul M. E. Church, made her debut as concert organist at the First Recital of the Season at Bethel A. M. E. Church, Druid avenue and Lanvale street, yesterday afternoon at 4:30. Miss Chambers was extremely judicious in making of her program, each of the leading schools of music being represented thereon by a real musical gem. Miss Chambers played with a poise and grace that were delightfully charming, and while perfectly at home with each number, her playing of Tanfare by J. Lemmens, MacDowels' delicate "To a Wild Rose," Borowski's Sonata and Delibes 'Pizzicati, were unusually well executed.—Baltimore Daily Herald. DR, CAREY OFF FOR THE PEACE CONFERENCE IN FRANCE. African Methodist ministers in the regular meeting Monday decided that the great A. M. E. Church of the West should have representation at the world's peace table in France.

RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources With the American Forces in France — Wounded and taken prisoners by the Germans and for two days kept in a dugout on the side of a hill which was under shell fire alternately by the Americans and then by the enemy, two Colored American privates were rescued by their comrades after for-eight hours of fighting. Owing to censorship regulations regarding wounded soldiers it is not possible to give the names of the two men. The privates were captured in the region of Chateau Thierry, along the eastern edge of Argonne forest, just before Chateau Thierry was captured by the Americans. While the Germans were endeavoring to decide what to do with the wounded men the American artillery opened up and the Germans determined to hurry to remove them to a nearby dugout, and four big Germans crowded in beside them. For two days the artillery, first of the Americans and then of the Germans, swept the hill, and so intense was the shelling that even the Germans did not attempt to escape. On the third day the American infantry began going forward, and when the crest of the hill was reached there was a rush of the Americans to the place where their two comrades had been wounded in an encounter while making a reconnaissance in the early morning. Leading the men was Capt. Howell Foreman, of Atlanta, Ga., who had little hope of finding the two men alive. One of the Americans heard a sound from within the dugout and one of the detachments, in German, ordered those on the inside to surrender, threatening to shower the dugout entrance with hand grenades at once. The reply that came back was in perfectly good American and four husky Germans stepped from the case with their hands above their heads. A moment afterward the wounded Americans has come into their own again. Despite German machine gunners firing from the edge of the forest and from commanding heights to the northwest, the Americans were carried back over the hill from which they had come more than two days before, the four German prisoners marching beside them. LONDON EDITOR FLAYS VIRTUE OF U. S. (By Continental Press.) New York, N. Y., Dec. 13.—The untold dignities the South has forced the nation to face was forcibly brought out in the answer the London Saturday Review, published in London, England, offered the American newspapers when the editor of the Ladies' Home Journal declared that London was an unfit place morally to entrain our soldiers in the hours of leave. The row was started by Mr. Bok (white), who went to England with other American editors as the guest of the British nation to inspect at close hand the conduct of the war, and he is reported to have said some harsh things about the dangers confronting the American soldier when off duty in London. The London periodical declares that he charges might come with better trace if America herself, and partier NO. 10. larly Mr. Boks' home town, Philadelphia, were above suspicion on the score of public morals. The London Saturday Review says: "We can not stay to explain the paradox of materialism and idealism, side by side in the forty-eight sociopolifical laboratories which make up the United States. There is scant respect for law, as the lynching records show and as President Wilson has lately bewailed with characteristic forthrightness." Philadelphia was recently the scene of a bloody race riot in which several people were killed. AT KITCHEN WINDOW Colored Women Clerks Served Food by Restaurant for Employees in U. S. Government Building—Told This is "Dual Government" and Colored Really Separate—On to Versailles. Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—There is in one of the U. S. Department buildings a restaurant on the cafeteria plan in which Colored employés have been and are being denied the privilege of service unless it is accepted from the kitchen window to be taken away for consumption. One of our girls, a recent appointee was upon one occasion served, but the next day, when she went in for luncheon, was referred to the kitchen door. The Colored clerk asked, why am I sent to the kitchen door, you are serving others here? For speed, was the response of the cashier waitress. O, I am not looking for speed but comfort, quietly returned the clerk and insisted upon service, whereupon tendering a dollar for the food the cashier kept the change offering it to the clerk if she would return the lunch but the clerk kept the lunch and began to get into the affair and later in an interview with the chief clerk of the building was told that this was a "dual government" and the Colored people were really separate, having separated themselves into churches and schools of their own and after the usual applications of "soft soap" in such matters the case still stands. This restaurant is leased for the purpose of serving the employés in the building. Here at the nation's capital in a government building of a nation, proclaiming that it is making the world safe for democracy, when the people denied service represent the truest type of Americans doing their "big" not only their "bit" in the recent war, are forced the inconvenience of no service in the lunch room unless accepted from the kitchen window. CORRESPONDENT. BANKS 'RACTION AGAIN DEFEATS EUGENE P. BOOZE Mound Bayou, Miss., Dec. 13. At a regular municipal election held here this week Eugene P. Booze was again defeated by the present incumbent, B. H. Creswell, for mayor of the town of Mound Bayou, together with the entire administration ticket, by a vote of 2 to 1. It will be remembered that Booze has been trying to get into office here for several years, and he once ran for alderman and received only thirteen votes. Later, by misrepresentation to the governor, he secured appointment as mayor in an effort to oust the present administration, but also lost that in the courts.

School land belonging to the state of Colorado brought an average of $14.37 an acre during the biennial period which closed Nov. 30 last, according to the biennial report of the State Board of Land Commissioners. For the calendar year 1918 no dividend has been announced from the London office of the Tomboy Gold Mines Company.

COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The action to be taken with reference to disposition of 5,000 packages of liquor held by the American Railway Express Company will depend upon instructions from the New York headquarters. It is expected that these instructions will be received within the ten-day limit set by Judge John H. Dennison when he announced that the temporary injunction would be granted. It is expected that the express company will be ordered by Eastern officials to fight the move to block liquor deliveries. It maintains that under the interstate commerce law it is required to deliver all shipments of liquor which crossed the Colorado borders before the "bonedry" law became operative. Colorado's contribution to the national army and the events leading to the induction of 24,086 men for service is a part of an interesting report submitted to Washington officials by Provost Miles G.

Gunter and became effective on that day. The men, Jean Talbot Miller, Frank Butts, William Morgan and Dr. Hiram G. Clarke, were the four men who received this Christmas present. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. An increase of 10 cents in gas rates awarded the Denver Gas and Electric Light Company Nov. 14, by the Colorado Utilities Commission, is collectable, according to the Supreme Court. Governor Gunter has issued many proclamations in the interest of Colorado's soldiers in France, but the first direct appeal to those soldiers returned either from the front or from camp, went out and concerns the matter of insurance policies. The chief executive sounds a warning to the soldiers not to let their policies lapse. One of the most important discoveries ever made in the Cripple Creek district was made Nov. 30 on the Portland property when the drillers working on the Roosevelt tunnel, now being connected up with the Portland No. 2 shaft at the bottom or twenty-second level, struck a rich vein of ore which assays from three to six ounces of gold to the ton. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Eva Lewis, queen of the Sherrill Lewis outlaw band, which terrorized Denver and vicinity by a series of daring holdups several months ago, was given a sentence of from five to seven years in the penitentiary on charges of highway robbery in the West Side court in Denver. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Republican state officials-elect are urging the adoption of a budget system of appropriations and expenditures. THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE When Denver's Christmas roll call for the Red Cross ended officially the city was practically 10 per cent less in its enrollment this year than a year ago. Although complete figures are not obtainable, officials in charge of the campaign estimated that approximately 55,000 members had been enrolled during the week's drive. LABORING MASSES Three hundred and fifty-nine soldiers of limited service classification were discharged from Fort Logan. The majority of the men were from Utah, although some were from Wyoming, Nevada and Colorado. The Old Year and the New The Old Year sat beside the hearth, In thoughtful mood; the hour was late; And ere he vanished from the earth, The past he fain would contemplate. "I brought a wealth of joy for those Who had oerburbed bene with grief." He said "the oerburbed woes Furnished the cordial of relief. "To some I gave a garden's bloom, Sweet pansies and forget-me-nots; To some the cypress and the tomb. The barrenness of desert spots. With love I tarried for a while Breathing in the cypress air; And bidding Hope serenely smile Across the threshold of Despair. "I entered on my natal hour Burdened alike with bliss and bane, Commissioned by my Lord to dower Some hearts with ease, and some with pain. When happiness had rich increase; I shall be hoffored long, I know; But those I robbed of joy and peace— They will be glad to have me go! "Ive followed many a bridal train; Have watched by many a lonely bier; With birth and death, with loss and gain, Made up the record of the year. And now beside December's gate Where hangs the year's alarm bell, I pause to scan the past and wait The sound of my own funeral knell. "One!—How the hours have slipped away! Two!—Some will weep with sore regret. Three!—Could I still on earth delay— Four!—Some good I might accomplish yet. Five!—An angelic song awoke! Six!—Surely are the fitters riven. Nine!-I am nearer to my goal! Ten!-Time must eternity begin! Eleven!-Awake, immortal soul! Twelve!-Farewell! and let the New Year in! "I come the Old Year's debts to pay! I come his promises to keep; To walk upon the world's highway, And deck the grave where dear ones sleep. Where he gave amules I may give tears. Life's path with good or ill bestrew; Or unto him who views the years and lives." New Year's at the Front SAIDEE ESTELLE BALCOM. ELL, what have you done for your country today?" W It was the eve of the new year and Dale Webster, hailed by a companion soldier, threw his knapsack within their tent just behind the heavy artillery at the front "somewhere in France." "Oh, brought in a captive," was his careless reply. "Ran into the skulker, marched him into camp and left him in the guard house. Any letters?" "Nary a letter. They say the mail packs here are four days overdue, but they're rushing holiday stuff to the camps." Dale Webster sighed and his face grew wistful. "I've been expecting one letter particularly. You're my friend, Roy?" "After your carrying me on your back half dead across the worst part of No Man's Land, with the Boches plugging away for keeps, I guess so!" "And you remember Winnie Trask?" "As a memory sweet and fragrant as a field of daisies!" "Well, one night in a dugout I just couldn't help but write her way back home there what I ought to have said to her before we left. Three months, and no word. I fancy I was too presumptuous. If I knew that Winnie was caring for me, thinking of me, at home, I'd never get lonesome. I'd fight double to get this mix-up over and back to her—bless her!" "Don't lose hope," encouraged Roy Bartley. "One of the fellows just got a letter written by his sweetheart last September. It has been chasing him all over the frontier. About your prisoner—make you any trouble?" "Not a bit of it," declared Dale in a spirited way. "The bear—" "The bear!" repeated Roy in wonderment. "Oh, I forgot to tell you that my catch was a bear," spoke Dale. "I came across him curled up in a plt, a WELCOME, 1919! Nineteen-Nineteen, welcome! Oh, I'm glad you've come! Though you're yet a mystery— Tongue discreetly dumb. Nineteen-Eighteen, scurrying! That's because you're here. And I'm glad—but, just a moment, Till I dry this tear. Though,when it came to punishment, His justice never swerved. But I've let him carry off All unpleasant things; Keeping safe in Memory's box Only that which sings. performing bear, strayed from some mountebank master in one of the bombarded villages. Soon as he saw me he acted frightened and humble, and when I patted him uttered a jolly growl, turned a somersault and stood on his head." "You don't mean it!" "Come, I'll show you." Dale led the way to the guardhouse. Outside of it was gathered a noisy group. Half way up the flagpole was a great shaggy monster who cleverly reversed himself, slid to earth, turned a dozen graceful somersaults and walked around on his hind feet. "Oh, we'll put him on our vaudeville program as the one leading attraction tomorrow!" voted a dozen observers. "What's the row!" as cheering echoed from the other end of the encampment. From a dust-covered, battered automobile two men were throwing off packages. "Belated mail," announced the driver. "Section A. Throw off the plunder, men, and you hungry fellows grab and distribute." Boxes, packages, tled-up bundles of newspapers and letters passed from hand to hand. Roy Bartley was most active in the work of sorting out the heterogeneous mass. "Something for you, Dale," he called, poising a square box before hurling it. "I say," inspecting the marks on the box, "it's been up and down the whole battle-line!" "See if there isn't a letter," directed Dale, placing the box beside a tent, and his eyes were eager and hopeful. Doubtless the box held remembrances from some home group, but his soul was hungry for something more prized. "Nothing for you," called out Roy, running over the letters in his hand. "Hey! look out for your box!" Roy spoke just in time. Old Bruin, unnoticed, had been sniffing intrusively at the box. Then he had pawed his claws piercing the fruit-pasteboard, A man is being beaten by a bear. He Acted Frightened. He snifted again, uttered a satisfied grunt, and, seizing it in his powerful jaws, shook it. "Whoop! a fruit cake!" yelled a watchful soldier, and grasped it as it rolled to the ground. "Hurrah!" Some knitted socks and a dozen little packages tied up with ribbon fell out of the shattered receptacle. Dale uttered a sharp gasp. Among them was a letter. He snatched it up and, afush and quivering, secreted it in his pocket quickly. But not for long. When he had divided the cake among his importunate comrades and gathered up the numberless mementoes from home, he got to his tent speedily. He opened the precious missive, his eyes sparkled, he kissed it fervently and his face, fairly shone. What a wild, riotous, fun-producing New Year's day! Old Bruin did himself proud, and Dale never sang the patriotic songs apportioned him on the program so thrillingly. "I say," observed Roy quizzically as the day waned, "you've acted like some wild schoolboy." "Reason to!" cried Dale fervently, and his heart beat faster against the cherished missive lying next to it—the letter from Winnie saying: "I have always loved you, and, though half the world separates us, I love you now more than ever!" Insect Authority. Aesop and the author of Tom Sawyer agree in their mental philosophy. After describing the mental attitude of some creatures Aesop says: "The smaller the mind the greater the conceit. Mark Twain tells about the officious superintendent of a small Sunday school in his "showing off" moments and calls it "insect authority." The species is common, turning up in all sorts of functions and places. It's that subtle something that wants to be always in the limelight and has nothing to show. It's the bluster and the bluff that takes the place of inward self-control. It has no effective connection with reason, it just sputters and spits parade red fire, and fools itself into thinking it's making an impression. It is, but it's one of insect authority. Tall Hat for Petite Woman. It is not possible for the too short woman to "add a cubit to her stature," but the thoughtful girl can do much by the aid of high heels and tall hats. A new winter chapeau is specially designed to offset one's lack of inches and adds distinction besides. It is an artful piling up of black velvet with a soft, inspiring white wing mounting effectively up the front.-Betty Brown NOW'S the time for a personal stock taking. The habit is in the air around Christmas. The kidzie lives a miserable life from the first of December trying to do his best so that old Santa will be good to him. The average man starts in around Christmas to think about the New Year resolutions he is going to make. All his friends, wise and otherwise proffer advice gratis until the poor chap isn't sure whether the New Year is coming or going and he himself is hopelessly lost. If he's wise he will go off by himself to a quiet corner and turn over the events of the past year and strike a balance on the results. The chances are that he will feel as chipper as a squirrel in May when the Job is finished. There will be many instances where the "might have been" will condemn what was. Life has many lessons that are hard to learn learn. One is that you can't put your ability in cold storage until needed for some great scoop. Your present job may be no compliment to your ability, but you dare not slight it for that reason. To keep yourself fit you must constantly employ your talents to the limit. As soon as you begin to go easy on them you start to decline. Unused potentialities deteriorate. Labor saving devices and man-made expedients won't work out with the Divine masterpiece. God never intended ability to be held in reserve for spectacular purposes. The wise man takes stock daily to see whether or not he is measuring up to his privileges. This is the season to begin the practice of it. Man's measure is best taken when he toils for the good of others. tions for the good of others. Much that he does in this life is not appreciated. The knowledge of this kills some folks at the start. Most men do their best when the thing they advocate is popular. A few indomitable souls are fired to the heroic point by opposition. It takes the big souled man to struggle on when he sees few results and gets little thanks. He works for the sake of the thing to be done, and that is the evidence of the master-workman. It takes the stalwart to keep on the job in cloud and sunshine with his best always as the goal. If you are willing to take stock and profit by the results shown, you may be in that class soon. The fellow that is honest in his stock taking will find many loose connections in his past efforts. He has failed to keep the pace because his ideals and ability did not mix properly; or he has been short on one or both of these essentials. There are many sincere souls that are failures because they have gone at high speed with a bolt loose somewhere. No wonder they wrack themselves to death. The stock taking will help them to see where their personal mechanism needs repairs. Weakness in any one part hinders the best work of the whole. For the sake of a temporary gain you dare not endanger your future usefulness. The past has been of your making. If it does not please you find what has been the matter and make sure of a better record for 1919. It's unfair to blame your competitors for lack of success. If you had been able to deliver the goods you would doubtless have had your share of the trade. They have won because you have failed somewhere. Most failures begin with the mental apparatus. Look well to yours for the New Year. There is no time for adjustments after the race starts. When the head is supplied with right thinking the body is apt to be best fitted for its tasks. To be sure the care of the body influences the thinking, but even that needs right thinking to help it. If your head is off you can't give your body a square deal. You can't booze all night and have a clear head the next day. You can't dance until daybreak and have elasticity and sprightness of body when the rush is on the next afternoon. You can't fill your stomach with cheap candies, creams and chemically preserved fruits and be happy and obliging to a trying customer in busy times. You must have the whole human mechanism working in harmony if you are going to get the most out of the comfg year. That's why your old uncle is asking for a mental and physical examination. He's concerned for your welfare and wants you to make good. 1919 Wishing You All Every Success for a Prosperous and Happy New Year Think right, and you will generally be right. If you haven't measured up to expectations during 1918 you must find the reason. The truth will doubtless jar your self-opinion a little, and you would hate to see the analysis in the newspaper. But the results will be just as public if you fail and men who read between the lines know the facts. So if you're concerned about the future you will respect the verdict and honestly set out to avoid the foolish things done in 1918. You will make your corrections at once. If you continue in error you will damage your working ability, not to speak of your reputation and character. It isn't business to toy with things costly. You can better afford to down a foolish self-pride than be downed by tasks too big for you. If you make the corrections to your life at once even the balance of this year will profit by the stock taking and you will start the year with a little practice. The best assurance of success is found in taking stock of the means of attaining it. Many worthy projects are blasted by overzeal. Faith does wonders, but it's a healthy process to mix considerable good judgment with it. Promises to pay are of no value without the ability to redeem them. You must count the cost before beginning the new enterprise. Scan your personal fitness before undertaking new ventures. If you stand the test you are bound to win. You have no reason to expect that simply because you attempt something beyond you some mysterious power is going to pull you through. The New Year will be full of challenges and for that reason I want you to take stock and be ready for the testing when it comes. There's nothing like knowing what you doe expect of yourself. dare expect of yourself. It's just as foolish to attempt jobs too big for you as it is to be afraid of what you can do easily. There are some organizations that put on campaigns these days to help people find themselves. If you want the same results without the publicity go after your own case and don't be too easy with the subject. The coming year will be full of great opportunities and you won't know what to do when they come unless you take stock in advance. To be sure some lucky turn of fortune's wheel may put you in a high place, but you are far more likely to stay at the top if you rise by merit. You owe yourself and your friends your best record for the coming year. It should be a matter of satisfaction to know that you have the ability to do big things. It's equally important to know your weakness if you should be confronted with big things. In any case failure does not add to your credit. Many of life's failures could be avoided if men would only take stock. This is business, and you should not shirk it if you want to succeed. Rise to power and criticism go together. You will escape most of the latter if you take time to find yourself and fit yourself for being your best. Take stock before others take it for you and corrections are too late. THE PSYCHOLOGICAL MOMENT 1919 JAN 1 "The psychological moment counts for much." "That's right. Almost any town could be voted dry along about January 1." THE DEATH OF THE OLD YEAR. Full knee-deep lies the winter snow, And the winter winds are wearily sighing; Toll the church bell sad and slow, And read softly, and speak low, For the Old Year lies a-dying. Old Year, you must not die; You came to us so readily, You lived with us so steadily. Old Year, you shall not die. His face is growing sharp and thin, Alack! our friend is gone. Close up his eyes; tie up his chin; Step from the corpse, and let him in That standeth there alone, And winteth at the door.

A FEW DAYS MORE and the year of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred and Eighteen will be numbered among the period of history-making which offers opportunity for members of the human family to be impressed with the multiplied events of vast importance which have guided them towards the goal of success and fame. The various tests of our loyalty and our thorough support to the peace and harmony of the government of these United States have furnished proof of our ability to measure up to the standards of citizenship which were so forcibly brought out in our obedience to the legal ordinances relating to the classification of the nation. The cessation of war, the blessings of peace, the visitation of pestilence, the surrender of our stubborn will and haughty nature to His bidding; the compulsion of a common fraternity to defeat the arch-enemy of our present civilization, the practical form of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man—all of these contributing to the beginning of the New Era, cannot fail to make us pause in our review of the year that is nearing its close. Have the events of this year been of sufficient weight for us to feel that our vaunted civilization was put to the most severe test in the history of the world, and our immediate response to the solicitation of our weak brothers across the seas saved us from a return to the savagery and barbarism of the dreadful dark ages and the hideous past? If we can be thus impressed, then while the year 1918 passes away in the general progress of time, the blood-curdling events transpiring therewith will never be erased from our book of memory. Having, therefore, all these facts warranting a NEW START, and grasping this point of time action to be fearless in our advocating the democracy which makes us mentally free, resulting in a stronger manhood, a deeper intellectuality, a greater number of the human family AT HOME and abroad, in the recognition of our fellowmen, we will of necessity continue to be a component part of the history-making phase of the world and one of the foundation stones of THE NEW DEMOCRACY, whose beacon light, powerful in its illumination, will reflect its rays to all peoples and nations, beckoning them to share in THE NEW YEAR OF FREEDOM which will insure perpetual peace to the inhabitants of earth. THE RIGHT MAN ON THE JOB scent to Africa, and reading a number of opinions on the wise or unwise nature of the plan, we are compelled to ask the question in as much as we have not the slightest intention of going over for permanent residence (possibly on a visit) and although we admire Mr. Scott and his large heartedness in sympathizing with the German Negroes, the point uppermost in our mind is—Is there a particular reason for throwing out this African propaganda now to support this "repatriation scheme," or is it really sympathy for the poor German Negroes to remove German yoke from necks and give them American democracy. In a little sentence we may ask—Is this job bent on righteous principles and can we afford to take up the African question before our conditions are improved. Would the Hon. Emmett Scott be the right man on the job? In an article on our front page, "A Negro at the Peace Table," a reproduction from the Baltimore Daily Herald, our friend and wise leader, Emmet Scott, in the War Department is suggested for a seat at the PEACE TABLE as a representative of our race by this white daily paper, and it goes on to emphasize the laying aside of all racial oppositions among ourselves so as to achieve this point which would result in a glorious opportunity for the American Negro to be heard on the questions affecting his standing in regards fair play and constitutional rights as any other citizen. Reviewing the article very carefully we note how the African question has seized the editor's mind, and how the remarks of Mr. Scott for German loss of her African colonies impressed him to a great extent. Hearing the arguments of a few negroes who are propagating the repatriation of people of African des Beauties of Constantinople. No Return. Beauties of Constantinople. The city of Constantinople is full of beautiful and interesting things, but in the way of buildings, after Santa Sophia the mosque of Yeni Valideh Sultan, the wife of Ahmed I, is the most wonderful. The effect of these tile-lined walls, as seen from Galata bridge, with their elaborate interlacing patterns and borders, is extremely striking and there seems to be nothing quite comparable to it. The tiles in this old mosque are considered to be among the finest in all Constantinople. We cannot go back. The old places are not the same if we revisit them, the old pleasures have lost something if we try to repeat them, the old groups can never be regathered in completeness of presence and spirit. Life is a kaleidoscope. It holds many beautiful combinations, but when we have turned one out of sight, no effort will bring it back again. The Once Over. Life is a book. Read it carefully, for you can only read it once.—Boston Transcript. Presidential Succession The law of the presidential succession, passed in 1866, expressly states that in case of the death of both president and vice president the succession shall go to the members of the cabinet, beginning with the secretary of state, but only "such as are eligible to the office of president under the Constitution." If the secretary of state was foreign born, therefore, the succession would pass over him and go to the secretary of the treasury. Born Before His Mother. A celebrated actress invariably claimed to be eighteen years younger than she really was. She was called to the witness stand one day, and even there she did not break her rule. It happened that her son was called immediately afterward, and on being asked his age he replied: "Six months older than my mother."—Boston Transcript. War Unity of the Allies Teaches the Lesson of Future Co-Operation War Unity of the Allies Teaches the Lesson of Future Co-Operation By CHARLES E. HUGHES A. H. B. In the co-operation achieved by the associated governments during the war lies the promise of the future. We have a new era spreading before our vision, in which the great aim will be to maintain this sense of unity. Let us learn that in meeting our problems here force, tyranny, the determination to rule must be crushed. Arraying class against class, the thought of power obtained by the mere exercise of strength must be forever crushed. We have no jealousies or envies or petty rivalries in this hour of victory, where every nation has its just cause for pride, where every army brings home its proud banners unstained by the slightest touch of cowardice or of anything which could dishonor the emblem of the nation. We have, therefore, peculiarly resting upon us at this hour the responsibilities not only of victory but of a victory so won, for it means that in working our way through these terrible days and years of suffering and strife we have been learning this lesson of co-operation. This lesson we must learn so thoroughly that we shall be guided in the difficult path of international co-operation in the days of peace and in the very difficult path of social co-operation in solving our own problems in our own political homes. Yank and Briton Have Fought and Bled Together; Now Must Live Together Yank and Briton Have Fought and Bled Together; Now Must Live Together By P. W. WILSON, London Daily News Americans will understand that British friendship is today unreserved and without qualification. In the compliments which one nation pays to another there is always an element of camouflage; but in the present case the sincerity of the tribute stands out clear as the day. It is not only a matter of words and pictures and anthems. Momentous issues are being decided. As long as we were all laboring under the strain of war we had the strongest possible reasons for working harmoniously. We knew what Germany would do to us both if we fell asunder. The worst stress has been eased by peace, and we need to be all the more careful to maintain the former comradeship. Trade rivalry and innumerable delicate questions affecting the distribution of food and raw materials might cause friction if approached by either party in an ungenerous spirit. Officials are working at high pressure and are not always diplomatists in any country. We need to make it plain that our two nations will not tolerate any drifting apart. It is not a question which solely concerns departments in London and Washington. Every one of us is involved in it, and it is for the departments to do our bidding. If there should be any narrow-minded mandarin in Whitehall who wants to make himself conspicuous at the expense of the United States let him be fired. The only competition should be in reasonableness. From the Pacific ocean to the Rhine there is disturbance and blood-shed. Democracies cannot afford to be divided in days like these when anything may happen among populations numbering 300,000,000. Americans and British have worked together, fought together, bled together, died together. They have been foes and they are now friends. As friends they must learn to live together. Terms of Peace Should Be Arranged Exclusively by Allied Nations By CHARLES F. MOORE, in an Article in Official Journal of Paper Industry The terms of peace should be arranged entirely and exclusively by the allied nations. The enemy should not be permitted to join in the conference, but should be required to wait outside the door until invited to enter and hear sentence passed. The kaiser should be permanently enjoined from doing business under the old firm name and style of "Me und Gott," thereby depriving him of the right to impose on civilization by fraudulently representing himself as being associated with one who has no interest whatever in the business and no sympathy with its methods. After the war every article of merchandise manufactured in the German empire should be conspicuously labeled "Made in Germany" in order that civilized people may be warned of its origin and let it alone. Any controversies hereafter arising with Germany should be settled by a board of arbitration composed of one American, one Frenchman and one Englishman. The decision to be final and to be communicated to the German empire when put in final and permanent form. The German language should henceforth be like the German rulers, unspeakable. Universal Military Training Is Lesson of the Great War for America BY LIEUT-GEN. S. B. M. YOUNG Universal military training in time of peace and equal national service in time of war, for the United States, is the lesson of the world war, now victoriously ending. The forces are active for and against this policy; the issue is on; it has become a live political question—not in a partisan sense, but in the sense that any national policy is essentially a political question—and must be acted on by those in authority, supported by the people. This is the most important and serious matter the war has placed before us and it would be wise for all those who desire to forward the will of the people to give to it a whole-hearted and aggressive support. The National Association for Universal Military Training feels that if this is not done the confidence of those whose suffrage they enjoy will be forfeited. THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO. MEN!

Amidst the chiming of bells, the singing of carols, the greetings one to the other, our churehes ushered in the Christmas of 1918 with the usual early morning services, with special songs rending the air in praise to the Pre- server of all mankind for having spared us to witness and celebrate an- other Xmas Day. Our pulpiteers did justice to the Christmas theme of “Peace on earth, good will toward men,” while the choirs under special training for this all-important event burst forth in tones of music that gaye the finishing touches to the im- pressions on the blessings of yuletide. While many families ‘were undergo- ing bereavement yet they found solace in joining once more in listening to the proclamation in commemoration of the Savior's birth, and then in the absence of the usual reciprocal invi- tations to dine, contented themselves with the joy of the privilege of living to see"the day. ‘The special music sung on Christ- mas Day will be repeated tomorrow.

Woodward, deputy food ad- ministrator for Colorado, stated that us his conviction today “The war is not over as effects the habits, thoughts and outlook of the American people. If we prematurely return to the habits of peacetime and our, selfish, narrow, provincial ways there is disaster ahead for the world. “No league of na‘ions can be effect: ed by people whose vision is bounded only by their own little affairs. Un- less we feel the hunger in Rumania and the anarchy in Russia and the famine in Serbia and the devastation in Belgium to be of as much concern to us as our own Sunday dinner and our own local affairs, we have lost the war, since we have paid dearly in blood and tears and yet we remain exactly as we were before. “If we are to mete just punishment out to the Hun, restore order, and re- butid the worta we must keep up our fighting spirit. “[ wish sometimes the war had lasted six months longer. Then it would have wiped the selfishness, the soft love of easy ways, out of our na- tures, made us forever world con- scious, caused our hearts to be torn as much by the wail of a hungry Serb- ian child as though that child were our own.” GRAIN RULES LIFTED; CURB KEPT ON PROFI7S All specific grain regulations of tie U. 8: Food Administration limiting the supply of the various grains on hand by any dealer to a sixty day’s supply. stating that wheat and other grains may not be stered for more than sixty days, and ordering all grain contracts to be filled in sixty days are declared removed by the food board for Colo- rado. Breakfast cereals formerly sold, by order of the food administration, only for cash or under a contract spe ciffed by the food board. may now be sold on the dealer’s own terms. S¥ rup and molasses, formerly sold only to certain classes of trade for spect fied purposes may now be bought by any one, in any quantity, for any pur pose.

Food Adminis. tration for Colorado urges that Colo- rado women continue and increase their food saving. ‘According to the food board, hun: ger means disorder. Disorder in Bu Tope means that our boys will have to do police duty over there for a longer time. Food saved in Colorado and shipped to Europe will mean a quick- er return to normal conditions and consequent sooner release of the Am- erican Expeditionary Force. COLORADO FOOD BOARD SQUELCHES PROFITEER ‘That the U. S. Food Administration for Colorado is still on the alert to suppress profiteering is shown by the case of the Tremont Delicatessen Company, 401 Fifteenth street, Des yer, heard by the food board last week. The company was found to haye been charging 80 cents a pound for butter and was promptly ordered to reduce the price to 75 cents per pound, which is the maximum retail price ‘permitted on butter under the present market. A second offense would result in the shutting off of the company’s supply of licensed food commodities, the food administration warned. When our boys come home, pies and cakes and cookies and jelly and all the home delicacies that they went many months without will be made especially for them, In Polish peasants’ huts. not even bread will greet the liberated men who come home at last—unless Amer- fca sends it.

KITCHIN JOLLIES DEFEATED They Do Not Exactly Appreciate His Story—Two New Senators and Three Representatives Are Sworn In for the Coming Terms. By ARTHUR W. DUNN. Washington.—In case there is a severe rupture between congress and the president, the president's friends believe that he will be supported by the people. It is generally the case that a president can win before the people when he is opposed by congress. That does not always happen, but in most instances the people seem to think that the president is doing the best he can and that congress is trying to interfere with him. That was the view during the skirmishes that occurred between President Roosevelt and congress, although they never came down to a real contest, because congress weakened before that stage. President Cleveland had many differences with congress and sometimes the people were with him and sometimes against him. But it was his party in congress that suffered on account of the divisions which occurred. When President Taft had his differences with congress, and vetoed many bills which congress passed, the verdict of the people was with congress and against the president. So far there have not been any real, decided differences between President Wilson and congress, save only as opinion in congress has been antagonistic to the president's trip abroad. The differences, are prospective to a large extent and it is not likely that the people will undertake to decide until these differences become actual and sharp. It is possible that all differences will be wiped out and that congress and the president will be found in agreement when he returns from Europe. This is sure to be the case if he has succeeded in negotiating a satisfactory peace treaty. While there has been jollification on the Republican side of the house of representatives owing to the success of the party, there are quite a number who are not joining in the festivities, as they are among the defeated. A group of these defeated was in the corridor one day when Leader Kitchin came along and a number of pleasantries were exchanged, and finally Kitchin told this story: After the election in 1916 when many Republicans were defeated he found a group of them before the fire in the house lobby, all very gloomy and serious, "Boys, you shouldn't take this so seriously." Kitchin told them; "and let me give you a little piece of advice. Of course you fellows want to redeem your districts and restore them to the Republican party. The way to do that is for you to search very carefully and each one of you find a real popular Republican in your district to run next time." "Do you want that to apply to us?" asked Congressman Miller of Minnesota, who was one among the defeated. When congress convened after its adjournment, two new senators and three new representatives were waiting to be sworn in. In the senate William P. Pollock took the oath as successor to Senator Tillman of South Carolina, while Edward J. Gay was sent by Louisiana to fill the place of the late Senator Broussard. Within five minutes Pollock and Gay, both of whom are Democrats, had been assigned to committee chairmanships, although unimportant ones. In the house of representatives two Wisconsin men, Nelson and Lambert, and an Ohioan, Davey, were sworn in. This gives both senate and house a full membership. James R Mann started with the beginning of the session to resume his old position as minority leader. He dipped into everything and showed that he was "on the job" just as in the days gone by. He is much thinner than he was in those golden days and his friends who saw him in action thought that he lacked some of the "pep" which has been characteristic of him in the past. There is still considerable speculation as to whether he is going to have the health to continue his duties as minority leader and also to assume the responsibilities of the speakership if he decides to become speaker. There is a noticeable difference in the minority leadership by Mann and that of Gillett of Massachusetts, who has been acting leader during Mann's illness. Mann is a natural-born heckler; he delights in heckling the Democratic side. Everybody has been saying since he returned that he is "the same Jim Mann in the matter of stirring up the Democrats." Gillett, on the contrary, is mild-mannered, but none the less effective or successful in winning points for his side. Conspicuous on the Democratic side of the house of representatives one day was a man in officer's uniform, the wings on his coat denoting that he belonged to the aviation corps. No one could guess who he was, for it had been asserted that of the several men who left the house of representatives to join the army none came from the Democratic side. Finally after an investigation it was found that the man in uniform was ex-Representative Connelley of Iowa, who was a very active member of the house a few years ago. He has already attained quite a reputation as an aviator. One man who will be missed in the next congress is Stafford of Wisconsin. For the last four or five years Stafford has been particularly active. He has been a sort of a second Jim Mann, although hacking Mann's transcendent ability for house details and procedure. At the same time he has been generally conspicuous through his never-ceasing attention to everything going on, and talking about it. Stafford was defeated by Victor Berger, the Socialist. Until now there never has been any concerted movement for the removal of snow from the country's highways in winter. Efforts in that direction have been confined to city streets. Now that the war and the resulting strain on transportation have brought about the use of motortrucks as freight carriers, the federal government figures that the question of keeping our highways clear in the cold months is worth consideration. As a result the council of national defense has been giving attention to this problem of snow removal. In the northern sections of the United States roads during the winter become almost impassable for heavy traffic on wheels. If the new method of motortruck transportation is to become really worth while, there will have to be some general effort to keep the highways clear of snow drifts and mudholes. The Republicans began their presidential campaign for 1920 as soon as they had won the congressional campaign of 1918. Just now there has been a considerable amount of casting about for candidates and many names are mentioned in the course of a week's desultory discussion. It is rather an interesting fact that people expect to see two expresidents with their "hats in the ring" in 1920. No one seems to doubt that Colonel Roosevelt will be very much in evidence at the next Republican convention, and there is now a growing feeling that Judge Taft might make a successful come-back race. One of the interesting suggestions as to a Republican candidate came from a shrewd political observer on the Democratic side of the senate. He remarked that the Republicans would be likely to go West for a candidate in order to get the geographical support which a nomination of that kind would be likely to insure. In that case, he said, he rather expected the next Republican convention to turn to a man like Senator Frank P. Kellogg of Minnesota. Minnesota, he said, was a doubtful state, very close in the campaign of 1916. Kellogg has had a fine public record, both as a prosecutor of trusts and as a senator. Minnesota has never been considered as on the presidential highway, but almost anything is likely to happen in politics these days. Those who were in the galleries of the house of representatives on the opening day of the session of congress looked down on President Wilson and noted that he was showing age. While spick and span in his absolutely correct clothes, it was noticed that strands of hair were combed across the top of his head, and if those strands had been removed he would have appeared as a bald-headed man, something that has never been thought of in connection with the president. Then it was also noted that his hair had turned gray very rapidly. It was evident that the worries of the past year or two have told upon him. One innocent little resolution that is always among the first to pass in both house and senate reads like this: "That the hour of daily meeting of the house (or senate) be 12 o'clock noon until otherwise ordered." Candidates for seats in the two bodies, particularly the house, often rail at the late hour set by congress for its daily sessions. People "back home" are apt to think that a congressman can sleep until 11 o'clock in the morning and meander down to the capitol, where the wheels begin to move at noon and stop moving usually at 5 o'clock in the afternoon. But the new men who come to Washington filled with a burning desire to start legislating at 8 or 9 o'clock in the morning soon realize that for most of them legislating is the least of their worries. They are glad to have those hours before noon in which to attend to departmental matters for constituents. Congressman Wingo of Arkansas had a bill authorizing the construction of a bridge in his district which he was in a hurry to have passed so that President Wilson might sign it before leaving the country. No one was opposed to the bill, but some of the Republicans were inclined to "kid" Wingo about his haste. "The gentleman may recall," suggested Nick Longworth, "it has been the presidential custom to hand the pen with which he signed a bill for some favored project to the gentleman interested in it. How would the gentleman attempt to get the pen in this case?" "I am willing, if I get the law, to let someone else have the pen," replied Wingo. Congressman Greene of Vermont inquired if "the presentation of a bill to an empty White House is equivalent to giving it to a Democratic president?" But Wingo got his bill through, which was all he wanted.

THE RABBIT Girls as Well as Boys Are Members of the Rabbit Clubs. RABBIT MEAT IS MOST DELICIOUS Boys' and Girls' Clubs Being Formed in Various Parts of United States. IS CHEAPER THAN CHICKEN Great Many Hotels Now Regularly Serve Hare Prepared in Some Particular Way—Peits Are Used to Make Felt Hats. Fifteen hundred boy and girl club members are raising rabbits in Tacoma, Wash., and more are constantly joining in this enterprise to produce cheap and delicious meat. All over the country the boys' and girls' clubs, formed under the supervision of the department of agriculture in connection with the state agricultural colleges, for the purpose of growing rabbits, are on the increase in size, number and popularity. When the fact began to be realized that the number of domesticated animals ordinarily used for food was not equal to the demand, various other sources which might be used to help supplement the regular supply were investigated. One of the most promising discovered lay in increasing the number of rabbits and encouraging their use for food. This was in line with the findings in other countries on the same question. It is stated that 30 per cent of the meat used in Germany last year was rabbit. Delicately Flavored Meat. Those who know good food long ago realized that not even chicken could excel a young hare in delicacy of fiber and flavor, and to increase their use should not prove a difficult matter. Nearly all the best hotels now regularly serve rabbit prepared in some special way their chef has devised. The rabbit associations in California and Nebraska are making special offers to boy and girl club members which will enable a youngster to start a warren at a moderate cost with good stock. In Utah the rabbit industry among the boy and girl club members is increasing in importance, with many youngsters going into it this season and finding it profitable. Demonstrations are given in 'the boys' and girls' clubs as to the best way to kill, dress and market rabbits. The young people are also taught how to can the meat and tan the skins for home use. The popular use of rabbit skins by furriers of this country is evidenced by the import lists of last year, which show 90,000,000 skins were shipped here from foreign countries in the 12 months preceding. These pelts are also used by hatters to make better grades of felt hats. Rabbit don't crow or lay eggs, but they are right there with the cheapest meat that can be produced. Salads for All Winter. For those who live away from the large markets, where green salad material is procurable the year around, the problem in the cold months of material for a salad is often a serious one for the cook. A salad without lettuce, to many, is like mince pie without the mince, but necessary as lettuce seems, attractive salads may be served without it. Cabbage, if treated as follows, may almost take its place. Cut part of the stem of one off and set it in a bowl of water for several hours. The moisture which will be drawn up through the stem will make the flabby leaves crisp. The tender, center thus treated may be used in the same manner as lettuce leaves or it may be shredded before the other salad material is placed on it, suggests department of agriculture specialists. Small raw carrots or turnips put through a meat grinder may be suc- cessfully added to cooked vegetables for a salad. Apples raw and sliced thin will furnish crispness when fresh plants are not available. Dried apricots, peaches or plums, when fully soaked, are delicious in a salad. These are served uncooked. If stuffed with cottage cheese they make a dish fit to be served on any occasion. Canned pineapple combined with cottage cheese, dates stoned and filled with the cheese, a slice of apple with a small ball of cheese on the center, bananas and chopped nuts are salad combinations which are popular and the material for them is available all the year in most localities. Some Ways of Saving Fuel. More heat will be obtained from less coal if all heat-absorbing surfaces are kept free from soot and dust. Hot-air pipes carry more heat if clean. Circulating air is more easily heated than still air filled with impurities. To get the maximum of heat from coal, the air in the house should be changed once an hour. Moist air heated to 65 degrees Fahrenheit is as comfortable as dry air heated to 70 or 75 degrees, according to specialists of the department of agriculture. The moisture can be supplied by evaporation of water at the point at which the heat enters the room, in the case of the furnace. A pan of water on the radiator or stove will answer the same purpose. If a continual fire in the range is not absolutely necessary a combination of wood and coal is economical. Use wood for the preparation of breakfast and supper, and coal for the midday dinner and principal baking. The fireplace is a luxury in winter but an economy in spring and fall. Coal should not be burned in the fireplace. It can be kept supplied in the rural home by prunings from trees and shrubs, bits of waste wood and broken boxes. The fireplace insures ventilation and affords a means of burning rubbish. Make Delicious Sandwiches. Nut bread, a favorite with both young and old, is especially good to have on hand to make sandwiches for the children's school lunch. The recipe below, recommended by the department of agriculture, conserves both sugar and wheat flour, but with wheat flour at present on the approved list it may be used if desired in place of the corn flour called for in the recipe. Quick Nut Bread. 4 tablespoonfuls of 2 cupfuls rolled oats, corn sirup. 2 eggs. 3 tablespoonfuls fat. 4 teaspoonfuls baking % cupful liquid. powder. ½ cupful mashed 1 teaspoonful salt. potatoes. ½ cupful chop'd nuts. Mix in order given. Bake 1 1/4 hours in moderate oven. Raisins may be used in place of nuts.—From Department Circular on Use of Oats. Have Rotted Meat Ready. The end of a boiled ham or corned beef sorted, bone and gristle removed, fat and meat chopped fine, may yield more than could be used advantageously at a single meal. Heat it, with little water, in its own fat and pack solidly in jelly tumblers or small jars. There should be a quarter inch of fat on top to harden and form a seal from the air. With a tin cover on top, meat thus prepared will keep several weeks. Seasoning may be added as for any potted meat. Meat thus prepared, both fat and lean, is ready to be used with from two to four times its bulk of potatoes or other vegetables for hashes, or for sandwiches, etc. Cottage Cheese in New Ways. Both city and country housewives have become familiar with the value of cottage cheese as a meat substitute. If your family is tired of your old recipes, in which the cheese is an ingredient, why not try some new approved ones? "Cottage Cheese and Its Uses," Circular 109, issued by the department of agriculture will be sent to anyone who writes for it. Kindergarten Helps for Parents Articles Issued by the Department of the Interior, Bureau of Education and the National Kindergarten Association MUSIC IS A NECESSITY By MRS. HARRIET AYERS SEY-MOUR. I know a mother with four children who made up her mind that home should be a very heaven. To her, music was God's special gift to mothers and children, and so she began singing regularly with each of her babies. There are many lovely songs which a mother can learn, and the best of all are the folk songs of different countries. Archibald T. Davison and T. W. Suret have collected some excellent and familiar ones in an inexpensive book called "Fifty Rote Songs," published by the Boston Music company. These include English and other foreign folk songs. A gay song for baby as he eats his breakfast and a quiet one as he lies down to go to sleep—these will slink in deep and form a wonderful foundation for the music of his life. With the older babies have a regular singing time. Five o'clock is a good hour. The children of whom I speak had a "singing party" every day at five, and sometimes the neighbors came in and sang with them. Their mother grew to be such a strong influence in the community that many persons came to her for advice and refreshment. Singing Instead of Nagging. Nagging is often simply a lack of something better to do. A friend on this woman in speaking of her home life said, "She has substituted singing for nagging." "Small Songs for Small Singers" by Neidlinger (G. Schirmer, New York publisher; $2.50 illustrated; 75 cents without illustrations) is a good collection for children from four to six years old. These songs are very musical, simple, and rather full of jokes—"jokey" as one child said. Here are the words of a great favorite in this collection: Mister frog came out of the pond one day, And found himself in the rain; Said he: "I'll get wet, and I may catch So he jumped in the pond again. So he jumped in the pond again. Joy is the best tonic there is, and happiness creates health. The children's song-hour will affect the atmosphere of the whole house. Another good lot of songs is a collection of "Nature Songs for Chil- REALITY FOR RUTH By MRS. MARGARET STEEL HARD. One morning a few months ago I was passing the playroom, my small daughter's domain, and stopped to glance in, but finding her absent I did not linger. However, an impression of the room did linger, and it finally grew to sufficient proportions to demand my conscious thought. What was there about the charming, sunny room with its Mother Goose frieze and carefully chosen toys that vaguely troubled me? It was too orderly. That was it. orderly in the sense of being unused. I paused and reflected how little time Ruth really spent in the playroom; she was always somewhere else. Where was she, in fact, at that particular moment? Brief search discovered her vigorously sweeping the back porch where some drifting leaves had collected. "Why is it?" I said to myself as I poured the boiling water into the dishpan and swashed the soap-shaker up and down absent-mindedly. "Why is it that she prefers sweeping the back porch to playing with her doll's house? Why does she hang about the kitchen watching me cook instead of using that fascinating doll's stove of hers?" Children Anxious to Help. "It is because she craves the actual and real experience, I suspect." Before I knew it I had brought my small cutting table, low enough for Ruth to reach, placed it beside the sink, covered it with a heavy towel and put the drain basket there upon. Then calling to her I pointed to the dishtowels hanging in a crisply folded row and said: "Would you like to wipe the dishes for me after this?" Perhaps you do not think six-year-old help very competent, but I assure you that mine has broken but one saucer in over half a year, and that the glasses and silver are not only wiped until they shine as brightly as the crystal and silver of the proverbal fairy palace, but that by the time I have hung my towels to dry, the last dish has been put safely away, by a little girl who must use the kitchen stool, deftly maneuvered, as a means to reach high shelves. Nor has the task ever become irksome. Indeed there has been only a demand for further duties, so that dusting, putting away laundry, making her crib, and greatest of all delights, cooking the cereal and apple sauce for her own and little brother's supper, have been added to the list. Value of Comradeship. And so the little duties grow and best of all so grows Ruth. She is finding her diminutive place in society and feeling herself a potent member of the family group. Through actual participation in the responsibilities of her home she is gaining the power to adjust herself to life as she finds it, dren" by Knowtown, published by Milton. Bradley company, Springfield Mass., for $1, and there are lovely collections by Eleanor Smith and Jesse Gaynor. Any mother who has had the regulation music lessons can play simple songs and can learn to guide her children into a singing life. Teach the children to listen to birds and to remember their calls. There is a book of bird-calls by Olds which is very good. Its title is "Twenty-five Bird Nongs for Children" and it is published by G. Schirmer, New York, for $1.25. Sing, "Come and be washed," instead of saying it. Here is a little tune spontaneously sung by a child of six: "Something ever, ever, sings." Singing, swinging, stepping and making pitch and duration pictures, the children live in music as fish in water or birds in the air. If there are quarrels and tears, play something pretty and think the word Harmony. See how this calms the atmosphere. The mother I speak of controlled her children almost entirely through the power of constructive thought and music. They easily yielded to the word Peace sung gently over and over. Mothers, if they only knew it, have the making of a new world of love in their keeping, and music is a torch to light them on the way. To a mother who does not know any music, I say, if you can, get some one to come for an hour every day to sing with your children at twilight. See to it that the words of the songs are constructive and beautiful and learn to sing a little yourself. Every one can sing a little. Join the community chorus and if there isn't one, start one. "A singing army is a winning army." A singing family is a spiritually growing family and music the link that brings heaven to earth. which is the secret of comfort for a child as well as for "grown-ups." This does not begin to cover the countless avenues for explanation and discussion opened up through the comradeship engendered by doing these tasks together, nor the numerous small problems of conduct which they solve. But try it yourself. It is not at all new. In truth I suppose it to be one of the answers to the old question: "How could great-grandmother bring up a family of fourteen children with so little nerve-strain?" THE KINDERGARTEN By DR. LYMAN ABBOTT. The kindergarten is more than a particular form of school. It is an essential principle of education—the principle that education is growth, not manufacture. The kindergarten is a child garden; the home and the school are the soil; bad habits are the weeds; the parents and the teachers are the gardeners; education is preparing and enriching the soil, planting the seeds, weeding the garden bed; the kindergarten plays and songs are garden tools; a cheerful spirit, a genial humor, a spirit of kindness and sympathy are the necessary sunshine; sorrow, trials, temptations, tears, discipline are the necessary rain. The primary school, the grammar school, the high school, the college, should all be child gardens in which the growing youth should be guided in his growth, but always encouraged to grow naturally, simply, healthfully into whatever flower and fruit his nature fits him for. The motto for the parent and the teacher, should always be: "Consider the lilies of the field how they grow;" and the model of the parent and the teacher should always be the divine model furnished by God's work in creation. "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind." If we will plant the children of our immigrants in American soil, give them American companions, teach them in the American language, let them breathe American literature, discipline them in the American art of self-government, warm their hearts in the sunshine of American tendencies, sympathy and good fellowship, and always respect the nature which God has given them however it may differ from ours, they will grow up loyal, patriotic, devoted Americans. "Did ye hear the bad news?" "What?" "They've called off the war, just as we were beginning to show chose Huns what a real fight was like." THE KITCHEN CABINET Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could, some blunders and absurdities have crept in, forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day: you shall begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense—Emerson. LITTLE THINGS THAT HELP. who travel or are taking a strip of thin muslin or cheese cloth will be found a most comfortable help to fold over the bedding next the face. It may be pinned on with safety pins if necessary. Most people object to sleeping in bedding that is not daily cheese cloth will be found a most comfortable help to fold over the bedding next the face. It may be pinned on with safety pins if necessary. Most people object to sleeping in bedding that is not daily laundered. In many hotels as well as sleeping cars this will be a valuable traveling companion. A small down pillow is another comfort for day or night, as often the pillows are too large or not comfortable. Furs may be cleaned and freshened by brushing the wrong way of the fur with a wet hair brush, using warm water. After drying thoroughly in the air, beat lightly on the wrong side and comb with a coarse comb the right way of the fur. Put silver into an aluminum dish with a teaspoonful each of soda and salt to a quart of water, let stand and simmer for a few minutes until the silver is bright. Do not use this method for any length of time on light-plated ware, as it will ruin it. To save silk hose use a piece of satine the color of the hose to line the heels. This may be done so smoothly that it will not be noticed on the right side. If this is done before the hose are at all worn it will more than double their wear. When blankets are dried after washing, brush with a whisk broom and beat lightly with a clothes beater to raise the nap and make them fluffy. Ants may be removed by sprinkling tartar emetic around the place where they enter. It is a poison, so protect your pets from it. When handkerchiefs become gray or grimy drop them into cold water to which a little borax and plenty of soap has been added. Boil thoroughly, Rinse in two waters. Old wash dresses too faded to use for further wear can be made into covers for furniture when sweeping or closing the house for a time. Ironing board covers made of strong, white muslin, cut wider, but the same shape of the board and having three tapes to tie at the ends and in the center, is a much neater way than tacking them on and they are easier removed to launder. Two or three of these for a Christmas gift would not be refused by the average housekeeper. Let the old lifes be covered by the new. The old past so full of sad mistakes; Let it be wholly hidden from the view. By deeds as white and silent as snow-fakes. WAYS WITH LEFTOVERS. It is quite the proper thing these days to waste absolutely nothing and to use as much economy as possible in the planning of meals. 奶油 Leftover cocoa or chocolate need not be thrown away as it may take the place of the milk in a spice cake or pudding. Melted ice cream may also be used in the same way for cakes, cookies or in custard pie. Delicious pudding sauces may be prepared from the juice from canned fruit. Thicken with a little flour, add a bit of butter, and serve hot. Cold, cooked mutton may be heated in the following sauce, making a dish which many consider better than the original: Chop a small onion and fry in a tablespoonful of butter or sweet fat, add a tablespoonful of flour and let it brown. Mix a tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce, a tablespoonful of vinegar, a tablespoonful of currant jelly and pepper and salt to taste. Cook all together and when hot add the sliced mutton. Simmer for fifteen minutes to season the meat and serve hot. Another delicious sauce for reheated meats is this: Chop a dozen olives very fine, brown a tablespoonful of flour, add a tablespoonful of butter and when well-blended stir in a cupful of soup stock; stir and cook until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce, then add the chopped olives and serve hot. Pour a little olive oil over the bottle of olives and do the same to canned red peppers; this will save them from spoiling. A slice or two of pineapple mixed with a little chopped apple to give bulk, a half dozen quartered marshmallows, and a little boiled dressing with whipped cream, makes a most tasty salad. A cupful of sour cream may serve as a salad dressing with a bit of sugar, when poured over shredded cabbage. A most tasty pie may be made from a cupful of sour cream, the same of sugar and raisins, one egg, a half teapooil of cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and a teaspoonful of vinegar. Bake in two crusts. A cupful of cooked onion served in a white sauce may be served as a sauce for fish. Nellie Macwell Sales Daily at 2 p.m. Office Furniture a Specialty. HAVE MOVED TO 1723-39 GLENARM ST.

GROCERIES DENVER, COLO. 1 TOMMY HILFIGER Winter styles in coats must soon make their exit in order to give the center of the stage to evening wraps and to coats for spring. But they are not going to slip away unhonored and unsung; they will pass out amid hearty applause. The last efforts of designers are as interesting and noteworthy as those that ushered in the season, and just as our minds were made up to expect nothing new along came such examples of fine artistry as appears in the two coats pictured above. They are unsurpassed for beauty and smart style. The victory of the allies and the end of the war was the signal for the revival of evening wraps. They will come in for much consideration, and already splendid garments reflect the mood of the public, which has denied it self the luxurious wraps of pre-war times. Following these, the first showing in coats for spring will compel the attention of everyone. In the meantime whoever is not already outfitted in a coat may take advantage of the impressive last models for winter. The coat shown at the left of the Bags Are I All sorts of bags for all sorts of purposes have become indispensable in the outfitting of women and their homes. Merely a list of the different kinds would make a long story, and as each particular kind appears in a variety of shapes and materials there is no end of interesting things to be said about bags. But the most important of all are those that women carry about with them for shopping or any other of their usual pursuits. Mary's little lamb has nothing on these bags; wherever women go, they go also, and one good-sized bag usually houses several smaller ones. An ordinary shopping bag is depended on to carry smaller bags, contain face powder and other first-aids to damaged complexions, purse, handkerchiefs, and many other things. If one were to follow up the sources of materials and designs in shopping and work bags it would lead to a journey around the world. Dainty and exquisite bags for daytime and evening wear in many odd shapes proclaim themselves from France. Among them are numberless beaded designs. Japan is written plainly in fabric and beaded bags, also, and many a rich brocade, with golden dragons, hails from China. The four bags pictured above are picture is a dressy garment of pane velvet or silk velours apparently. It is paneled at the back and at the front and adjusted into semi-fitting lines by means of a narrow plain sash that is looped over at the front, having rather long ends. Large, handsome crochet-covered buttons are set In the girlle at each side of the back. Deep set-in pockets at the sides are finished at the top with a band of the material edged with a piping. This coat is a dark taupe color with cape collar and deep cuffs of taupe fox fur. It is as rich looking as a coat of moleskin, having much the same appearance. The coat at the right is of very heavy wool velours and is a marvel of ingenious cutting. The shaped side bodies are extended with wide hanging panels ornamented with narrow tucks and a border of sealskin. Small slit pockets finished with arrow heads are set in the panels. The graceful cape, which is convertible into a high muffler collar, is of sealskin. Both coats are shoe-top length. A favorite color for heavy wool velours coats is a deep and soft plum shade with which sealskin looks unusually well. ndispensable among the most practical and handsome of a recent display on Fifth avenue. The bag at the top of the group is made of heavy brocaded ribbon, cut with scallops at the top that are turned down, revealing a lining of plain satin. A quiet shopping bag of navy blue moore appears at the left, finished with a loop and clasp of the material. The bag at the right is an odd round model which may be successfully made of ribbon or chiffon velvet. It has a handsome metal mounting at the top, such as may be bought in dry goods stores. The handles are a novelty in this particular, being made of large wood beads. A rich dotted ribbon, showing a solid center of black with a ring of white embroidered on a brilliantly colored ground; makes a bag of great distinction, shown at the bottom of the group. The loop handle slips through a narrow strap of the ribbon. Julia Bottomley Odd Sash. Of deer-brown chifton velvet Underarm panels which end in beaver pockets.
