Work of the Division of Negro Economics Recommended to Congress
"RESULTS AMPLY JUSTIFY ITS CREATION," SAYS SECRETARY WILSON OF DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
VOL. XXV.

"RESULTS APLY JUSTIFY I TARY WILSON OF DEP
THE report of the Secretary of Labor to Congress is of great interest to Negroes. It shows that the U. S. Government through the Department of Labor is really solving some of the great problems seriously affecting the economic condition of the Negro wage-earner.
In referring to the establishment of the Division of Negro Economics, the Secretary of Labor says:
"In the previous fiscal year the attention of the Department of Labor had been repeatedly called to specific problems involving race relations. During 1916 and 1918 perplexing questions had arisen and investigations had been made with regard to Negroes. With the greater industrial efficiency demanded by the war it became apparent that a more harmonious adjustment of labor relations between whites and Negroes was imperative, especially in view of the fact that the latter race makes up over one-tenth of our total population and includes about one-sixth of the working population. It has long been the policy of the department to avail itself of the best expert knowledge obtainable in the administration of such problems as have arisen."
Staff Appointment Urged by Both Races.
The appointment of a Negro as adviser to the Secretary on matters relating to the Negro race was urged by many white persons as well as Negroes and was favorably recommended by the Advisory Council of the Department of Labor. After consultation with many persons of both races, the Secretary appointed Dr. George E. Haynes as his adviser, with the title, Director of Negro Economics. According to the Secretary's report, this step was taken not only because the advice of an expert was necessary but because it was generally felt that a race which makes up such a large share of our industrial army and has contributed so generously to our military and naval forces is certainly entitled to a seat at the Secretary's council table when matters affecting its interests are being considered.
Duties Defined.
"The function of the Director of Negro Economics," says the Secretary, "is to advise the Secretary on matters affecting the Negro wage-earners and to outline and direct plans toward greater productions in agriculture and other industries. The work of this division since its establishment has amply justified its creation and my policy has been to refer to it for advice concerning administration of all Problems peculiar to Negroes as wage-earners."
The Work of Field Organization. Congress is informed that state conferences with local organizations have been held in North Carolina, Georgia, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Mississippi and Illinois and have received the strong support of the Governors and State Councils of Defense as well as many fraternal, religious and educational associations; that co-operative committees of whites and Negroes have been organized in seven states, namely: Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Virginia and Kentucky; that the appointment of such committees is now in progress in five additional states—Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey; and that county and city committees have been appointed in seven of these states. This work is carried on under the supervision of the Director of Negro Economics and by a staff of State Supervisors of Negro Economics with the view of promoting good feeling between the races whereby Negro labor can be used to its greatest productive efficiency under the most favorable conditions. These committees have worked in close co-operation with the Federal State Directors of the U. S. Employment Service.
Negro Migration of Great Concern. Congress is also informed that a very extensive report on the migration of the Negro has been made by the Department of Labor under the supervision of Dr. James H. Dillard, President of the Jeanes and Slater Funds for Negro education in the South. The investigation was begun prior to the appointment of a Director of Negro Economics. However, the report was submitted to the Director of Negro Economics for final preparation and revision. This report is now in press and will be available for distribution, in the near future.
Lynching.
"Among the circumstances disclosed by Dr. Dillard's investigation," says the Secretary, "was the fact that the exodus of Negro workers has been the largest where lynchings and other forms of race friction had been the greatest." Later reports from the field indicate that such evils are retarding the efforts of the Department of Labor to allay labor unrest and to distribute properly the labor supply throughout the South.
"While the functions of the Department do not extend to recommendation of specific means for dealing with this menace, and while its correction lies wholly with the several states, it seems proper to point out that it is a constant cause of unrest and that it is making harder the work of the Department of Labor to increase the efficiency of Negro wage earners by improving their conditions. It is a duty to point out the effects of such evils and to state that only its total abolition will serve to replace unrest with contentment. In the fulfillment of this duty the Department urges universal assistance in promoting co-operation between the races for the harmonizing of their relations and for the vigorous and unfailing enforcement of the law."

PEACE CONFERENCE DELEGATES CHOSEN.
Equal Rights League Elects Six as Commissioners to Go to Versailles
Washington, D. C., Dec. 27.—The National Colored Congress for World Democracy, which closed its session here Thursday, Dec. 19, under the auspices of the National Equal Rights League, elected six delegates to go to Versailles, and five alternates. The names of the accredited delegates are Dr. M. A. N. Shaw, Boston, Mass.; Rev. W. T. Johnson, W. Va.; Attorney N. S. Taylor, Greenville, Mass.; Bishop L. W. Kyles, St. Louis, Mo.; Rev. J. R. Ransom, Wichita, Kans. Editor Wm. Trotter of Boston is to be executive secretary to the representation. The names of alternates were not made public.
To Hold Pan-African Meet.
16 Hold Pan-African Meet
The delegates are to represent districts comprising central, northern, eastern, southern and western territories. It is expected that they will enter the conference with the Pan-African delegation, which is scheduled to meet in Paris and press the question of the African colonies. American representatives are to present a petition asking for the "abolition of all undemocratic restrictions" against the race.
Protest Sent to Madden.
An appeal was made to Representative Madden of Illinois to call for a congressional investigation of the injustice heaped upon the race at the Quartermasters' Department, 39th and Robey streets, Chicago, Ill. The petition contained the names of officials who are said to be ringleaders in fostering discrimination. This act was prompted by the fact that several men were forced to walk out of the government plant recently when Captain Boniwell (white) endeavored to Jim Boniwell, it is alleged, has gone on record as saying that he intends to rid the place of dark skins.
AMERICAN OFFICERS URGED COLOR LINE AMONG THE FRENCH.
(By Ralph W. Tyler.)
With the American Army in France, Nancy, Dec. 1.—Monsieur Blaise Diagne is the Deputy Commissioner General of France in charge of the effects, or righting colored troops of France's colonies, and is a close friend of Premier Clemenceau. Monsieur Diagne is a black man, but color does not count in France—France has no color problem, though she has millions of colored subjects. The deputy commissioner has an intimate knowledge of the conditions surrounding the colored man in America. He sympathizes with his, as do all of France's colored subjects. When in Nancy last week he stated he had requested Premier Clemenceau to make some helpful reference to the colored troops from America at the peace table; that colored Frenchmen had requested that an audience at the peace gathering be given to a delegation of France's colored subjects that they might give voice to sentiments that might be helpful to their kinsmen in America who had come over here to fight for world democracy.
The discriminations to which colored officers and soldiers have been subjected to at the hands of many American white officers and soldiers have been noticeable to colored Frenchmen, and they have felt it keenly. It has been observed even by white French officers, to all of whom color prejudice is unknown, and they have been at a loss to understand why such brave, enduring fighting men of the race as the United States sent to
help win world democracy, should be subjected to embarrassing and retarding discriminations and segregation. Monsieur Diagne also told of certain American white officers writing to French high officials, urging that the treatment accorded colored men from America in France, by French officers, be the same treatment accorded our race in America by certain white people; that colored Americans were an inferior race, and should not be accorded the equality of treatment French officers and civilians had been in the habit of according to colored soldiers. This request for discrimination against colored soldiers and officers, on the part of the Frenchmen, was referred to Monsieur Diagne, a colored man, genuinely black in complexion, who is deputy commissioner general, charge du control des effectifs coloniaux, with the request that he tear it up, such destruction of the paper to constitute the French officials' only reply to the impertinent and unreasonable request from certain American white officers. Commissaire General Diagne is keeping the torn bits of that request as a souvenir.
There have been some American white officers over here—not a few, but many—who have, ever since being here, prosecuted a propaganda against the colored soldiers; who have done their utmost, but without avail, to taint France with America's prejudice against America's loyal fighting colored soldiers. There have been a few American white officers, not many, over here who have treated the colored soldiers as American soldiers, notable among them being Brigadier General M. H. Barnum and Brigadier General Sherburne.
In spite of the unjustifiable discrimination and handicaps, at the hands of certain American white officers over here, colored soldiers, officers and men, have given the best in them for their country; have patiently endured discriminations, because of their color, as they have heroically endured the expected hardships of soldier life, and as heroically fought against the Hun.
Had it only been the Boche, colored soldiers had had to fight against, they would return to the States without a single complaint, but in not a few instances, I regret to admit, they have had to fight the Hun, while at the same time they were enduring an infilading attack from those whom they had supposed were here to fight for the same thing they came overseas to fight for—world democracy.
However, with it all, the colored soldier is proud that he had an opportunity to again prove that which the country had never had an occasion to doubt—his loyalty to country.
Thousands of our colored soldiers are now busily preparing for the overseas return. They are impatiently counting the days, even the hours and moments, that must intervene before they can again see the face of the Statue of Liberty in New York harbor, before they can again greet relatives and friends. Many of them who came here on American troopships in the fullness of manhood and patriotism, will not return, for they are lying, where they will forever lie, in a soldier's grave, rudely marked, up around Verdon, Chateau-Thierry, Solson, Champagne, in the Argonne woods, and in the Mousson valley. France has been magnanimous towards the American colored soldiers; her men and women have voiced praise of their fighting qualities, of their soldierly bearing and of their faultless behavior. France would welcome them as permanent residents of France, but they—those who have survived this awfully decimating, frightful war—are going to return to the States, firm in the resolve to help secure, through peaceful means, for themselves and their people, that which their arms, their blood and their lives helped to achieve on the battlefields for the alien countries over here—democracy.
The 92nd Division has orders to prepare to move for a port of embarkation. I hope to move with it. The real "first-page" story of the colored soldier in this war, his fighting and his enduring, will be written on my return.
RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources
Throughout the entire Gold Coast, West Africans are feverishly preparing for the coming great British West African conference. At this conference it is the intention of the natives to bring to the notice of the British government the pressing reforms demanded by the natives for the well being of West Africa as a province of the British crown. The three demands are to include:
1) The establishment of an African dominion;
2) A regulation of taxes, representation and commercial relations.
3) The founding of one or two West African universities for the education of the natives.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 27.—The administration building of the Mosaic Templars of America, which is undoubtedly the finest of its kind owned by the Race, was opened today with appropriate ceremonies.
The order was established in 1882 by John E. Bush and Chester W. Keates. It has made wonderful progress, having now a membership of 70,000, operating in twenty-three states in the United States, Central America, Panama zone and West Indies. It is in good financial condition, having $110,000 in United States liberty bonds, certificates of deposit, $70,000; cash in bank, $50,000; property valuation owned by the organization, $150,000.
Chester A. Bush, the secretary treasurer, is one of the most active young business men in the country. At the death of his father he was selected as his successor, and under his administration many improvements have been made. The order is divided into the following departments: Executive, S. J. Elliott, National Grand Master; Endowment, Temple and Uniform Rank, C. E. Bush, National Grand Scribe and Treasurer; Monument, A. E. Bush, secretary treasurer; Legal, S. A. Jones, attorney; Auditing, John H. McConico, auditor; Charge of all Deputies, Wash Jordan, National Grand Deputy; Medical, J. G. Thornton; Juvenile, C. C. Aikens,
WAR HISTORY BY EMMETT J.
SCOTT.
To Be Only Authoritative Account of "The Negro in the War."
Washington, Dec. 20.—In order that the public may not be misled, announcement is made that the only authoritative history of the Negro's participation in the great war will be prepared by Emmett J. Scott, now serving as special assistant in the war department, and a group of nationally known authorities on all phases of Negro life and activity. This work is not to be a hastily put together hodgepodge of newspaper clippings, but an authoritative record of Negro courage and valor. The publishers will be one of the standard firms of the land whose imprint is in itself a guarantee of literary quality and typographical excellence.
R. R. COMMISSIONER SEEKS TO BAR SOLDIERS.
Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 27.—Prosecuting Attorney $ ^{*} $ M. E. Dunaway (white) is in possession of a communication from Herbert Wilson (white),
NO.11.
member of the Arkansas Railroad Commission, stating that the Missouri Pacific should be prosecuted for allowing "Negro soldiers to ride in Pullman cars along with the white soldiers." The communication in detail read: "On train No. 5, which is the St. Louis-El Paso train, I saw last Saturday between Little Rock and Hope nine Negro soldiers in a Pullman which also was nearly full of white passengers. I am going to make a test case of the matter. I think that I am doing right in laying the issue before Mr. Dunaway."
MINNESOTA TO HAVE COLORED
GUARDSMEN.
St. Paul, Dec. 24. Minnesota will be one of three states in the Union to boast of a battalion of Negro guardsmen upon completion of plans for four companies of Negroes in St. Paul and Minneapolis as a part of the new National Guard of Minnesota, authorized yesterday by Gov. Burnquist and Adjutant General W. F. Rhinow. Addition of this force to the new National Guard will be effected by transfers of four companies of Negro members of the state home guard. The home guard battalion is commanded by Major J. H. Sherwood, St. Paul, who will head the national guard unit. Two companies will be maintained in each city. New York and Illinois are the only states having National Guard companies of Negroes in the past.

If in previous years we have tried and not succeeded, LET US TRY AGAIN. The resolution for this year must be the doctrine of the one aim, the one purpose, the one cause. Leaders of the WHITE RACE are strongly advocating EDUCATION AMONG THE MASSES OF THEIR OWN. Let us ally ourselves to this most powerful and influential agent before whom all prejudice, racial discrimination, mob-rule and lawlessness must vanish, then enthroned majestically, environed by JUSTICE, LOVE and TRUTH, man being made to admit the fact of one common brotherhood, will reach the zenith of his power, and the very inhabitants of the heavens will sound and resound with joy at the accomplishments and achievement of God's highest creation. THE COLORADO STATESMAN wishes all A HAPPY, CHEERFUL
TOO EASILY CONTENTED.
THE progress of the world indicates that contentment is one of the greatest afflictions that can beset mankind. If contentment were an asset that could never be disturbed this assertion might not be regarded as true, but as progress brings power and power ever seeks its own increase, a contented people, and therefore a non-progressive people, is sure, in time, to become the prey and the serf of the restless elements of humanity. That discontent which makes a people strive ceaselessly for greater power is not an attribute of unhappiness, as unhappiness is measured in the minds of men, for the knowledge of increasing power is a greater source of happiness than the knowledge of temporary, but precarious peace and plenty.
The assurance of security and the inherent power of self-protection is the greatest asset of happiness that a people can attain, and this condition of self-sufficiency can only be maintained by ceaseless effort and striving.
The unequalled power of the Caucasian races has grown out of this unremitting effort for self-security and improvement. It has carried them to the nominal mastery of the world, and made all meek and contented races their subjects or their prey. It is asserted in the individual the same as in the collective race, and is reflected in the pride, the self-assumption and the authority over others which the power of their kind makes them to feel to be their heritage and their right. The development of a similar power in other races is the only thing that preserves the autonomy of those races and gives them respect and independent character and standing in the world.
The Negro remains the only great race on earth that is content. In the depth of barbarity there is no ground for censure, but the Negro in civilization is far too easily satisfied. The liberty for which he strives is not of that insatiable character which yearns for self-reliance and independent power. He has not yet caught the spirit of unrest, though of all freemen his lot is the hardest. Individually he is too content with peace and little. Those who direct the activities of this groping race, ought to endeavor to make more and more keen the discontent and unrest which its real progress depends.
A RESOLUTION FOR 1919.
IT has been the custom for many years for the individual to make a resolution on New Year's day and with that goes a determination to carry it out for the year. Some term it "fogyism," others express that the time has come to relegate such traditional roles to the scrap heap, but with all these peculiar notions and oddities we are asking the NEGRO RACE of this American Nation to make A RESOLUTION FOR 1919 and whether we are termed "fogy" or disciples of "oddity," let us make a special effort in the coming year and prove what results from PULLING TOGETHER. Some say that they rarely pick up a newspaper owned or edited by Negroes that they do not see some reference to or of the race, and in their opinion "the less said the better."
We would more than agree with these persons if our experience with the other side did not cover a large area and measure more than half a century; but, with every feeling of fellowship, we ask such persons, when in his history did the white man stop to boost, advertise and conspicuously present his race, his qualifications and everything that helps to impress on the less serious mind his right to domination of the other races and peoples of the world? In every historical period—ancient, mediaeval and up to the modern, we discover a systematic form of advertising the superiority of this race, and whenever those whom they held sovereign power over, gave way to the mocked idea of superiority, the ranks of the former were strengthened, their conceit became unparalleled, and the oppression that followed was almost indescribable. The Negro has existed in every age and has demonstrated his power of receptivity, from his environments in every country of the known world. He has proven himself the mechanic, the scientist, the philosopher, the explorer, the inventor, the musician, and formed every other entity that demands an exercise of mental and physical qualities to prove his fitness to contribute to the progressiveness of the human family in their mastery over the lower creation and their discovery and solution of problems in nature. Why, then, should he in this day be filling the position which makes him a receiver of mercy, charity and a kind of benevolence which comes to him at the will or pleasure of his so termed master? Our answer today is as of yesterday, and will continue to be, unless we resolve to do otherwise—LACK OF UNITY. "We are getting together," says one, "but it takes time." Fully alive to this situation we are, but we can hasten the consummation which means quick relief and a recognition as any other race, and THE COLORADO STATESMAN ASKS: Do the Negroes in Denver, in Colorado, think the time is NOW, and will they make a Resolution to get together in spiritual and temporal activities so that we can present a solid front, impregnable and invincible in making representations for the acceptance of us as full-fledged citizens giving greater evidences of unity in the American Nation by being true and loyal to ourselves and then be caught up in the net of that DEMOCRACY which measures a man, a people, by the ability to perform and not their creative appearance which they do not control.
"Let us then be up and doing, etc," and then will come the BOND of Unity which will harmonize all humanity.
International Service and Opportunity of American Merchant Marine
merchant marine to the far points of the world. Our railroads must no longer end at the ocean. We are building an American merchant fleet twenty-five million tons—three thousand ships. We are backing modern ships with modern port facilities, establishing our bunkering stations all over the globe, and will operate with American railroad efficiency.
We will carry American cargoes at rates corresponding to our rail-rates—the cheapest in the world. Fast American passenger and cargo liners will run regularly to every port in Latin America, the Orient, Africa, Australia.
We must all take off our coats and work to bring these American jobs home to the people of every American interest and community. The manufacturer must think of customers in Latin America as being as possible as those in the next state. The farmer must visualize ships drying his wheat, cotton, breeding animals, dairy products and fruit to new world markets. The American boy must think of ships and foreign entries when he chooses a calling.
British policy seeks to develop all the resources of the far-spread British empire. A world-wide inventory is being taken of the metals, fibers, the crops and other resources of British colonies, so that John may supply his own needs as far as possible and may increase the prosperity of Britons everywhere by developing their resources, broaden their trade and raising their incomes and living standards.
Our task is to use American merchant ships, American dollars, American factories and American ability to help other nations in the same way.
Since the Civil war we have learned what railroads, money and energy do for undeveloped sections in our great West. After the world war we must learn what American ships and American money and American energy can do for the undeveloped sections of other nations—such sections the rich mineral country of the west coast of South America, the great, theile Amazon basin, the growing nations of Australia and South Africa, like our own in many ways.
Our new merchant ships will take us into this great field of international service and international opportunity. It is time for Americans anywhere to think of world trade from this angle of raw materials.

Women War Workers Must Be Safeguarded During Reconstruction Period
Now that the soldiers are starting home from the front the first effort it should be made in the demobilization of the army of women who have been doing war work is to insure their return either to other work or to domestic life under favorable conditions.
There should be no general throwing out of women from the work which they have been engaged, either in the munition or other factories in the office work at the national capital and other centers. The same candid military regulations governing the demobilization of the men the army should govern the demobilization of the woman's army.
My opinion is that women who have gone into business, either for patriotic or economic reasons, will remain in industry of some kind. By as I do not mean they will, in retaining their position, exclude the men who have given up those positions for the service of the United States and who will return when peace is established.
There will be no sex controversy. The readjustment will work gradually, and as for the women as a whole, there is no fear that they will eschew domestic life.
The most important duty of women during this period is to help in every way and to watch and make sure that such legislation as will insure the protection of women, as the great foundation of humanity, is passed and properly administered.

War Has Taught Japanese to Develop Their Resources in All Directions
War Has Taught Japanese to Develop Their Resources in All Directions
Japan is the only nation which has directly benefited by the present conflict. Before the war Japan was poor, but the war has enriched her more than the victories of Port Arthur or of Mukden. Japan has learned to depend on herself. She has kicked away all her former props, in the result that the war has done more to develop her industries than years of effort would have accomplished. Certain industries, such as textile industries, or those of chemical products, and the manufacture glassware and of European paper, have expanded tremendously in the last four years. Japan has created that which it lacked, whilst that which it already assessed is developing to an extent which the benefits of a world peace would never have allowed it to hope for. In order to give an adequate idea

She has kicked away all her former props, with the result that the war has done more to develop her industries than ten years of effort would have accomplished. Certain industries, such as the textile industries, or those of chemical products, and the manufacture of glassware and of European paper, have expanded tremendously in the last four years.
Japan has created that which it lacked, whilst that which it already possessed is developing to an extent which the benefits of a world peace would never have allowed it to hope for. In order to give an adequate idea of this progress, it is only necessary to glance at the statistics, which prove that the net profits of the textile industries have increased by 5,330,000 yen since the beginning of the war, while the profits of the chemical industries have increased by 1,133,500 yen.
Once started in this direction Japan resolved to acquire complete economic independence. This is proved by the fact that although before the war Japan was behind Germany in the manufacture of artificial dyes and many other chemical products, she has now taken these industries completely in hand, and two companies have been formed with the approbation and direct aid of the Japanese government, so as definitely to check any attempt Germany may eventually make to resume her supremacy in these directions

Our merchant marine of today and tomorrow will carry a message of good will to the nations of the world. Millions of cruelly starved folk face westward from every shore with mouths open to the promise of America. These must be fed, and clothed, and also supplied with other necessities of life. Highway transport facilities are at the farmer's gate, and "at every farmer's gate" must immediately suggest the initial phase of overseas distribution. The highways transport service is the first step in the great system of transportation to the sea and then on the

Throughout the Presbyterian Church tomorrow will be known as "Re-enlistment Day" when all members mindful of their obligation are requested to renew their covenant. All members in good and regular standing are cordially enjoined to make this first communion of the New Year. Reception of members by letter and reaffirmation of faith will take place.
It was very gratifying to note the hearty response that the citizens of Denver made last Sabbath to our appeal to attend the post-Christmas musical. With one accord the vast crowd went away exceptionally pleased with the rendition of every item on the program. Every participant including Dr. Spratlin, Messrs. Gatewood and C. A. Clark, Miss D. Gatewood and Galena Andrews, Mrs. M. E. Morrison, Misses Arula and Mabel Cole, Miss Gertrude Striplin, Mrs. Mabel Chinn-Fallings and daughter with other members of the choir played their respective parts with the greatest amount of efficiency and skill. The concert was great. Through the medium of these columns we thank both audience and choir for your part contributed.
The public is cordially invited to all the services of this church. Special musical selection will be a feature at both services tomorrow. We will be glad to have you.

Not the fellow that takes your hand
In an idling hour;
Not the fellow that slaps your back
As long as the highballs flow;
But the chap that speaks a windy
word
When the world is running wrong.
The fellow that grips your hand
Good and strong,
And tells you life's sweet song.
What if we know the fellow lies?
What if he knows it, too?
There are times in life
When the friend that lies
Is the only friend that is true.
Cavil and rant, ye prudes that will,
Of the evil of wine and gin.
But somehow the real, true things
that we feel
Leaks out when the wine leaks in.
The fool is a fool, the cad is a cad.
Whichever God means him to be.

First Attempt to Explore Africa.
The first organized attempt to explore the interior of Africa was made by Mungo Park, who set sail on his initial voyage to the Dark Continent 123 years ago. He returned two years and seven months later after having explored a considerable section of Africa never before visited by a white man, although he failed in his main purpose, which was to trace the source of the River Niger.

WILLIAM HILL, DENVER RESI-
DENT OF SEVERAL YEARS,
OBEYS THE LAST SUMMONS.
Death—the imperative summons
which all mankind must obey—again
invaded the ranks of our community
and snatched from us William Hill, a
Denverite of many, many years, who
established a good reputation and
whose departure into the Great Un-
known leaves an aching void in the
hearts of many citizens who were his
friends and staunch supporters. One
of the foundation members of the
“People’s Sunday Alliance,” an ardent
Y. M. C. A. booster, he was never
found wanting at the post of duty, and
his consistency in trying to do the
best he could for whoever he came in
contact with will cause a high esti-
mate to be placed upon his memory
and the beauty of his lifetime. Suf-
fering for nearly two months with
what he thought an abscess in his ear,
and even though he was under the
skilful care of specialists, the result
was paralysis of the brain, and he
breathed his last in the early morn-
‘ing of last Sunday, Dec. 29. in obedi-
‘ence to the will of His Maker. Mr.
“Hill was a man of large mental re-
‘sources and had to his credit inven-
‘tions which unfortunately were not
patented, He has a number of chil-
dren, all grown up and heads of fam-
ilies, and to them and his grief-strick-
en and deeply sorrowing widow, The
Colorado Statesman extends its deep-
est sympathy. Funeral services will
be held at Zion Baptist Church, Twen-
ty-fourth avenue and Ogden street, at
1:30 o'clock today, when a host of
friends and relatives will have an op-
‘portunity to pay their last respects.
“He is not dead; he sleepeth.”

Honey 1s an unknown sweet to many
of our families, due to the scarcity and
often the price, Honey is equal in
sweetness to sugar and may be used
as a substitute. In using honey the
quid in any recipe is reduced one-
quarter of a cup. Honey contains
protein and some soluble minerals
which are invaluable in rebuilding the
broken-down tissues of the body. It
1s a good substitute for fats, which
are scarce, high-priced and hence pre-
clous, and may be used on cereals afid
breakfast foods in place of sugar and
cream.
Brown Bread With Honey.—Beat
one egg and stir into one-half cupful
of honey and one cupful of sour milk.

| spoonful of salt; add one and one-half

one-quarter of a teaspoonful of cloves,
‘a half teaspoonful of cinnamon and

sion, Steam four hours,
