LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY WOMEN WELCOMED INTO REPUBLICAN PARTY COUNCILS ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN MANAGEMENT ON EQUALITY WITH THE MEN. VOL. XXV. WOMEN WELCOME REPUBLICAN P ACTIVELY PARTICIPATING IN WITH T Washington, June 21. — Forward looking legislation is what women want to give them keen interest in politics, according to Miss Mary Garrett Hay, of the Republican Women's National Executive Committs, who was one of the interested watchers in the Senate gallery during the discussion of the Susan B. Anthony amendment which passed the Senate by a vote of 56 to 25. "Everything progresses, and one's opinions must change to suit such progression," said Miss Hay. "Since so many women are in politics there must naturally be a readjustment of political organizations so that women may be included in their councils and given a part in the work. The women of twenty-nine states are already voting, and before 1920 there will probably be many more. "As the party of progress, the Republican party has met this condition by welcoming women into participation in and management of the party's affairs on an equality with the men, and the new Republican Congress is introducing and enacting progressive measures such as women have been working for, for years. The fundamental principles of Republicanism are the same; party leaders are only giving them a little broader interpretation." Must Stand by Party. Affiliation with a political organization is the only way women can accomplish the legislation they desire, according to Miss Rose Moriarty, of Cleveland, Ohio, one of the foremost leaders of women in that state. Miss Moriarty belongs to the Women's Trade Union League, and believes thoroughly in group action, with a definite purpose to accomplish. And it is a fact of some significance that such leaders as Miss Moriarty and Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of the National Women's Trade Union League, and a member of the Republican Women's National Executive Committee, are both strong Republicans and are earnestly advocating the affiliation of women with some political party instead of taking the non-partisan attitude. "Any group or individual who does not stand by group action is interfering with the principles of the party in which he believes," said Miss Moriarty. "It makes no difference how much they differ about details; if they do not stand together from first to last on the fundamental principles of that party they can accomplish nothing. "We have had experience enough in yielding to factionalism; the only sound American patriotism is that which submerges any party difference of opinion in the big principle and fights with the group for its success. Believing in the fundamental principles of the Republican party I have affiliated with that party. But whether you believe in the principles of that party or of some other, affiliate yourself with a political party. Only so will women accomplish what they are struggling for." Concentrate on Measures. Citing the three measures selected by the Legislative Council of the California Federation of Women's Clubs as typical of the legislation women are interested in, Mrs. Robert J. Burdette, wife of the noted humorist and lecturer, now of San Francisco, Calif., yesterday suggested the enactment of similar measures by the present Republican Congress. "With the enfranchisement of women in California," said Mrs. Burdette, "came the desire for the enactment into law of some of the measures for which, as women, they had been working previously. Hundreds of suggestions were sent in, many faulty bills drawn, and it was realized that unless our energies were concentrated upon the most practical and most needed, nothing would be accomplished. "To this end, therefore, a legislative council of women composed of members of the state federation of women's clubs was elected, its object to look over and select three measures upon which the women's energies would be concentrated. Headquarters were maintained at the capital in Sacramento during the state legislative session, that the women's legislative council might be in touch with and aid in the passage of these measures. "This year the three measures behind which the women concentrated their energies were a state bureau of child hygiene; a community property law giving women the same rights as men; and a law for fallen women which would take them from the depressing influences and confinement of a jail, and in the health-giving environment of a farm, let them regain health and self-respect. "Such measures as these interest women far more than intricate technical questions because they touch the daily life and daily needs of everyday life, and make for better conditions and better citizenship—and this means better government. And that, I take it, is what every real American wants and aspires to," added Mrs. Burdette. N. A. A. C. P. CELEBRATE TENTH ANNIVERSARY. Cleveland, Ohio, June 21-28. Delegates from twenty states will attend the TENTH ANNIVERSARY CONFERENCE of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 100,000 members, which will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, from June 21 to June 28.

SIX HUNDRED TEACHERS EN ROLLED AT TENTH ANNUAL SUMMER SCHOOL AT TUS- KEGEE INSTITUTE. Tuskegee, Ala., June 14.—Five hundred and thirty-nine teachers from fourteen states enrolled at Tuskegee Institute Monday morning for the opening of the Tenth Annual Summer School. This enrollment is unprecedented and shows how the teachers in the rural communities in the South are striving to strengthen themselves for the work and the heavier responsibilities which have come to them by reason of reconstruction and re-adjustment of conditions which grew out of the war. The enrollment to date is 578. At eleven o'clock Monday morning, the opening day of the session, Dr. Robert R. Morton, principal, addressed words of welcome to the teachers. Among other things, he said: "Teachers as a rule make great sacrifices. You do it because you appreciate the importance of the service you are rendering to the race and to the nation. It is both inspiring and fascinating to take a child and watch his growth during the months and years of his school life as he develops into young manhood. There is nothing that equals it in interest and mutual helpfulness. There is no amount of money that can compensate for the services rendered in the development of character—the effect of your life upon the boys and girls whom you are teaching. Therefore, I do not yield—even to the preachers, for whom I have the highest respect—in comparing their sacrifices with those of the average school teacher." Other speakers for the week were: Dr. Geo. D. Goddard, rural school agent for the state of Georgia; Mr. C. J. Calloway, director of the extension department, Tuskegee Institute, which directs the work of the Rosenwald Rural School building, Mr. W. B. Riley, superintendent of education, Macon county, Alabama; Dr. H. O. Sargent of the federal board of vocational education. Mr. Ezra C. Roberts, director of the academic department and summer school, commenting upon the enrollment, said: "Of the 600 teachers now on the grounds, 235 are teachers in Rosenwald schools and they have come for special training which we have arranged for them. Through the generosity of the general education board, the teachers in the Rosenwald schools have had their railroad fare paid to Tuskegee in order that they might have this special training which is designed to establish certain definite standards in so far as industrial work is concerned." In addition to the regular summer school course, special instruction in thrift and Red Cross first aid are being given. ASK RAILROAD DIRECTOR GENERAL ABOUT NEGRO DISCRIMINATION. CHARGING receipt of information that the director general of the United States railroad administration had issued an order discriminating against Negroes in the sale of tickets, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today addressed an inquiry to Walker D. Hines, director general, demanding "in the name of United States citizenship" the immediate rescinding of the order, if it had been issued. The letter to Mr. Hines is as follows: "We have been informed that for some time past the offices of the railroad administration have been discriminating against purchasers of railroad tickets for third parties who were colored. The United States Railway ticket office at Cleveland, Ohio, refused to sell to the Rev. H. C. Bailey, pastor of the Antioch Baptist Church of that city, a ticket from Madison, Ala., to Cleveland, Ohio, which Mr. Bailey desired to send to his daughter, Mrs. Lottie Beadle. "The clerk refused to sell Mr. Bailey the ticket, saying that an order had been issued by the director general against such practice on the ground that it was 'encouraging colored labor to come North.' We wish to inquire whether such an order has been issued by the director general. Should it have been issued we would wish to protest to you in the name of our 200 branches and 57,000 members of both races in thirty-nine states against such an unwarranted invasion of the constitutional rights of individuals. Such an order would constitute an intolerable tyranny and we demand, in the name of United States citizenship, that if it has been issued it be rescinded at once." NEGROES INTERESTED IN HOUSING New City for Colored People Calls Attention to a General Movement Toward Better Conditions. THE opening of Truxton, Va., the first town in the United States planned and constructed by the government for colored persons exclusively, calls attention to a widening interest in the proper housing of the Negro population of the United States. Truxton has 250 houses, each containing five rooms and bath. All modern conveniences are provided and the dwellings are attractive. The town is to be governer by the tenants, who meet with the town manager, a representative of the United States Housing Corporation. According to reports sent to the United States Department of Labor, Ohio is interested in working out plans to improve the housing conditions which prevail among the colored population. A state-wide plan that will relieve congestion and assure proper housing for thousands is being discussed, and it is possible that a means of financing building on a big scale will be found. Several suggestions have been discussed as practicable. One of these is the organization of a building and loan association by responsible colored men. Such RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources CALIFORNIA DAILY ADVO- CATES DEMOCRACY (By Associated Negro Press.) STOCKTON, CALIF., June 2—In speaking editorially on "The Demands of the Negro," and going into detail concerning the achievements of the race, the Stockton Record, white daily, states that the colored people of America are "asking no more than should be accorded them if we are at all really sincere in what we are applauding in President Wilson and other leaders of national and world thought in their efforts to establish and perpetuate democracy." most democratic cities in America, more than fifty colored teachers beeing employed in the public schools, the majority teaching only white pupils. There are about 30,000 colored people in Cleveland, thousands having come recently from the South. Hundreds of the citizens own beautiful homes and there are, scores of successful business men. Cleveland has a total population of over 800,000, being the sixth city of the nation. RICHEST NEGRESS LEAVES DAUGHTER BULK OF MILLION New York, June 13.—The title of "richest Negro woman in the United States," which was held for many years by Mme. C. J. Walker, formerly Concerning the much talked of misner of "social equality" the Recore says: "The most vexatious element of the entire Negro race problem seems to be the ghost of social equality which bobs up every time the word Negro is mentioned. This, however, is an issue by itself. Social equality is no more a matter of legislation than intellectual equality. To accord the Negro his political, educational and religious privileges is the sacred constitutional duty of the American people, but this does not involve the question of social relationship. One is not a social equal because he is a white man. Taste, culture, affinity and environment are the things that determine social equality. If either the Negro or the white man prefers to accord his own race superiority and priority that is his privilege so long as he does not interfere with the right accorder to others by the constitution." CLEVELAND SIXTH CITY OF NATION Ohio's Beautiful Metropolis Democratic in Spirit; Employs Half Hundred Colored Teachers in Mixed Schools; Councilman Fleming Represents Wealthy Ward. (By Associated Negro Press.) CLEVELAND, OHIO, June 4. Councilman Thomas W. Fleming, the only member of the race in the city council of Cleveland, has announced his intention of becoming a candidate again for the office. The majority of the voters in the Eleventh ward are colored, while, like the famous Second ward of Chicago, some of the city's wealthiest citizens live in the ward on Euclid avenue. Councilman Fleming has recently bee instrumental in having the city appropriate $100,000 for a bath and recreation house in the center of the ward. Cleveland is regarded as one of the an enterprise would command the support of many large companies that would be interested in aiding the new venture to become firmly established. Another idea is that the Negro insurance company, with which the co-operation of other Negro organizations would be assured, should make the necessary connections with local building and loan associations. Since the war many northern cities have had such an increased demand for houses and apartments from colored tenants that in certain communities the congestion has become serious. The urgent need of dwellings that shall be in every way desirable has been emphasized by the fact that there is a steadily increasing number of Negroes able to pay for comforts and conveniences as well as for mere shelter and a place to sleep.

The purchase price was $45,000. The move to furnish young women in the Harlem district with modern housing accommodations at a nominal charge was given impetus through the generosity of the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association, which recently gave $15,500 to the New York City Board for building and equipment. Harlem's latest hotel, which is to be opened about July 1, will consist of fifty-seven rooms and can accommodate ninety-five persons. A parlor, reception rooms, where the young women will be permitted to entertain their company, drying rooms and an emergency kitchen will be some of the features of the establishment. Rooms may be rented for from $2.50 to $5 weekly, and transients will be charged from 50 cents to $1 an evening. Younger women and girls making small salaries will be given preference. The hotel will be in charge of two house secretaries. N. A. A. C. P. BRANCH IN PHILIP- PINE ISLANDS. Mary White Ovington, director of the membership drive for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, reports that colored troopers in the Philippine Islands have formed a branch, and their secretary, Matthew Payne, of Troop E, Ninth cavalry, has written a letter from Pampanga in which he says: "While we are more or less isolated from the rest of the world, we are vitally interested in anything that affects our race.

Flying for pleasure in an airplane is now possible from Lincoln to points in surrounding territory at a minimum cost of $13 per passenger. The service was inaugurated in Lincoln by a student of the University of Nebraska. Several prominent Nebraskans were his first passengers. The use of oil as fuel for locomotives is growing at an unprecedented pace. Last month the Texas & Pacific Railroad Company contracted for the delivery of 9,000,000 barrels covering the next three years and officials of the railroad administration expect that within the next month contracts for at least 50,000,000 barrels will be awarded. Ernest Lister, governor of Washington, died in Seattle. He had been ill for several months.

Need of some drastic action to regulate immigration was emphasized before the House Immigration Committee by Sidney L. Gulick, secretary of the National Committee for Constructive Immigration Legislation. Mr. Gulick further elaborated his plan for restriction according to a percentage of naturalized citizens. President Wilson, responding to the Senate resolution asking for the complete text of the peace treaty, advised the Senate through the State Department that he did not consider it in the public interest to transmit the treaty text at this time because it was incomplete and many delicate points were under negotiation. The army is only two-thirds demobilized, the War Department announced, and it will take more than three months to complete the work at the present rate of 357,000 discharged a month.

Two hundred and seventy-nine graduates of State Teachers' college received degrees or life certificates at the commencement held on the college campus at Greeley. The state inheritance tax department will make a thorough investigation of the reported shrinkage of the estate of W. S. Jackson, Colorado Springs pioneer banker, from $10,000,000 to a little more than $1,000,000. The bids for the making of 140,000 front tags and 30,000 rear tags for automobiles have been let by Secretary of State James R. Noland. Another company of Denver, has been given the work of making 12,000 badges which the law requires must be worn by chauffeurs. Colorado concerns are being given preference in the bidding, said Secretary of State Noland. Judge Henry G. Hersey of Denver will hear the suit between the Lake county and Summit county commissioners over the boundary between those counties. The case is set for hearing on September 10th at Leadville. Owing to the fact that District Judge Francis E. Bouck is a resident of Lake county, he decided that an outside or nonresident judge be asked to hear the case. Denver's livestock industry received a $1,000,000 impetus and the city's future as the great western cattle mart was assured when advices from Washington announced that all the railroads would readjust their rates in and out of Denver to enable stockmen throughout the entire West to market their herds in Denver—thereby assuring Denver pre-eminence as a cattle market and packing center. Among the arrivals from France recently was Vernon R. Alspaugh and his wife, a charming little French girl whom he married in Nantes, France, last December while a member of the Sixteenth infantry of the A. E. F. The young couple went to Craig, Colo., where they will live on Private Alspaugh's ranch. Alspaugh was a member of the first American unit under fire and was gassed during an engagement in the Toul sector in January, 1918. Many dry land farmers on the flats east of Loveland are plowing up their wheat and will plant the land to corn. This means that the lack of water has killed the wheat off to such an extent that it will not be worth harvesting. The corn being put in will produce a crop of fodder that can be used to feed the stock on the farms. This is the first time in many years that the dry land farmers have had a crop failure and it simply means that instead of many notes being paid off this fall they will have to be carried over. According to a current report of the State Highway Commission a total of $375,000 will be spent on federal aid road projects in District 2 of Colorado. All of the money will be spent for grading and draining. The roads to be improved are Cherry Creek road to Colorado Springs Junction, a distance of forty-eight miles, the Burlington road in Kit Carson county for ten miles north, east and west, the Limon east road for ten miles, the Colorado Springs-Cañon City road, the Colorado Springs-Cripple Creek road, the Castle Rock river road, the Cheyenne Wells, either north or west; Woodland Park to Cripple Creek in Teller county; Buena Vista-Sallida road in Chaffee county; Buena Vista to Divide in Chaffee county; Peyton-Ramah road in El Paso and Park counties and the Farmers' highway in Lincoln county.

"I would rather die than go to Cañon City," was the remark of Frank De West, who broke jail at La Junta after being sentenced to the penitentiary to from eighteen months to two years. De West was recaptured in Pueblo, after making the trip by concealing himself underneath the coal on the engine tender. The first sentence was revoked, and he was resentenced to serve from five to eight years for his brief liberty. A forty-foot plunge over an embankment on the Brighton road one mile north of the Riverside cemetery may prove fatal for Mrs. Emma Converse 57, a resident of Brighton, Colo. Her husband, who was with her, is also seriously injured, but is expected to recover. An examination by physicians at the county hospital immediately after the accident revealed that both of Mrs. Converse's legs were almost completely severed above the ankle. This was caused when she was caught between the windshield of the car in its descent. The total value of gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc produced in Colorado to the end of 1918 is approximately $1,440,000,000, according to metal production tables soon to be published in the 1919 year book of the State Board of Immigration. These tables are compiled from data furnished by the United State Geological Survey, and give the total production of the five metals in each metal-producing county since 1858. Gold leads the metals in total value of output with approximately $638,000,000. Lake county holds first rank among the metal-producing counties, with an output valued at $418,000,000, and teller county is second, with $306,000,000. Silver holds first rank in value among the metals produced in Lake county, though zinc far surpasses silver in the value of its output in last time. Teller county holds first place in the value of its gold production, more than 99.5 per cent of its metal values being gold. Plancerville, Colo., was practically destroyed by a fire that caused a loss estimated at $175,000. The D. & R. G. Railroad Company sustained a loss of almost $25,000 when the freight depot and other outlying structures were burned to the ground. It is estimated that $15,000 worth of freight was consumed. Traffic was delayed for a short while, but is now normal. The fire copsumed the railroad warehouses and outbuildings, garages, stables, postoffice, general store and a three-story business block. It is not known whether the postoffice records were saved. The 6,000 packages of whisky, 12,000 quarts in all, that has been a subject of anxiety to the Denver citizens to whom the packages were consigned and a cause of litigation lasting since the first of the year, is on its way back to Cheyenne. The Supreme Court by a final decision, upheld the ruling of Judge Denison that the liquor be destroyed or shipped out of the state, and the American Railway Express Company, in whose possession the whisky had been since last December, sent the packages back to Cheyenne. Frank Walters, Salt Lake City, and Richard McCoy, Chicago, were arraigned before Justice Black in the District Court at Montrose and pleaded guilty to the charge of stealing an automobile from the Rev. Phillip Easley in that city. They were given a term of from three to five years in the penitentiary. Mary King, arrested with Walters and McCoy, was released. They have been in the county jail here since taken into custody The Colorado Legislature will be called into extraordinary session, possibly in the fall, to consider the ratification of the national suffrage amendment, Gov. Oliver H. Shoup, in making the announcement, said he would issue the call as soon as he had fixed upon a date, which leaders are discussing. The governor did not give a positive statement that the suffrage question alone would be considered, saying that little else would be included in the call, if anything. Five persons narrowly escaped death near Colorado Springs, as the result of an automobile collision on the Cafon City road. Fred R. Smith, cashier of the First National Bank, is suffering from a fractured hip and internal injuries; and his wife, two daughters and a son are more or less injured about the face and hands. The machine was driven by Miss Dorothy Smith, aged 19, and after striking the other car it rolled down a 200-foot embankment. Pay-as-you-enter street cars now cover all traction lines in Colorado Springs, and the service has been improved from three to ten minutes on all routes. The cars have been in the local barns for several months, but the conductors refused to take them out until they received a wage increase. This became possible ten days ago when by stipulation the public utilities commission and the municipal council agreed on a 6-cent fare. Elmer Gartrell, 6-year-old son of Fred Gartrell, a mining man, was killed near his home when he stepped from behind a standing automobile in front of a machine driven by George Alberts of Alice. One of the wheels passed over his body. According to witnesses, Albert was driving slowly at the time of accident and he was exonerated from blame. Nearly 4,000 merchants, farmers and their families gathered at the county fair grounds, just outside Sterling, for the annual farmers' picnic. Persons from all parts of Logan county and adjoining counties were also in attendance. Fire of unknown origin completely destroyed the warehouses of the West Slope Fruit Growers' Association at Palisade. The loss is estimated at $25,000. The blaze threatened to spread to other buildings, but was checked. Colorado Teachers' college opened its summer term at Greeley with an enrollment of 1,500 students, the largest in the history of the college. Twenty-one states are represented in the summer school student body. That the Short Line railroad from Colorado Springs to Cripple Creek, one of the most famous scenic lines in the state, closed for more than two years, would be in operation before July 20, was the statement made by George M. Taylor, recently appointed receiver for the line, who is making all plans to resume operation immediately. Taylor already has a large force of men working on the roadbed, putting it in shape for traffic, and the Bear creek bridge, which was mysteriously burned two years ago, is being rebuilt.

MORRISON'S FAMOUS JAZZ ORCHESTRA THE ATLAS DRUG COMPANY Leaders in Prescription Full Line of Plough's Black and White Toilet Articles 2701 WELTON STREET MAIN 875 THE WASHINGTON MONUMENT BUILD it to the stars; you cannot outreach the loftiness of his principles. Found it upon the massive and eternal rock; you cannot make it more enduring than his fame! Construct it of the peerless Parian marble; you cannot make it purer than his life! Exhaust upon it the rules and principles of ancient and modern art; you cannot make it more proportionate than his character."—From the speech of Robert C. Winthrop at the laying of the corner stone of the Washington monument July 4, 1848. In the National Geographic Magazine three years ago William Howard Taft wrote of the Washington monument: "Taken by itself, the Washington monument stands not only as one of the most stupendous works of man, but also as one of the most beautiful of all human creations. Indeed it is at once so great and so simple that it seems to be almost a work of nature. Dominating the entire District of Columbia, it has taken its place with the capitol and the White House as the three foremost national structures. "With a new character for each new hour, a different aspect for every change of light and shade, the Washington monument seems to link heaven and earth in the darkness, to pierce the sky in the light and to stand an immovable mountain peak as the mists of every storm go driving by. With a height of 555 feet, a base of 55 feet square, and walls tapering from 15 feet at the base to 18 inches at the top; with its interior lined with memorial stones from the several states, from many famous organizations and from a number of foreign countries; with its stately simplicity and the high qualities of manhood it honors, it is fitting that the aluminum tip that caps it should bear the phrase 'Laus Deo.'" "Stately simplicity" is what makes the Washington monument one of the greatest in the world, observes the Kansas City Star. The original plan of the designer, Robert Mills, was to have as the main feature of the monument a large columned pantheon to be used as a museum for war relics and statues of great men, and the obelisk was to arise from its center and surmount the whole. The pantheon idea was abandoned later when the monument came to be built, and everyone feels now that it is a good thing it was so, because a building of any kind at its base would only detract from its sublimity and grandeur. Washington himself selected the site for the monument, but at that time the intention was to erect an equestrian statue, which congress had voted for in 1783. Nothing was done until 1833, when Chief Justice John Marshall headed a movement called the "Washington Monument society," to solicit funds to build it. It was then the architect, Robert Mills, designed an obelisk surmounting a colonnade of Doric columns. Some money was collected, but not enough to build it as planned, so the pantheon feature was abandoned and work begun on the obelisk. The corner stone, weighing twelve tons, was laid July 4, 1848, in the presence of 20,000 people. In 1855 the funds ran out and work was stopped, and for twenty years the partly constructed monument remained an ugly stub. But the centenual exposition of 1876 brought a revival of patriotism and there was a nation-wide demand that the monument be finished. Congress took hold of it, funds were asked for from every state, as well as contributions of stone blocks with which to line the interior. In 1880 work on the monument was resumed, but on altered plans. The foundations were enlarged and strengthened and the shaft increased in height. In 1884 it was finished at a total cost of $1,200,000. Lower Walls 15 Feet Thick. Following is a detailed description of the monument taken from the Rand-McNally Guide to Washington: "The foundations are described as constructed of a mass of solid blue rock 146 feet square. "The base of shaft is 55 feet square and the lower walls are 15 feet thick. At the 500-foot elevation, where the pyramid top begins, the walls are only 18 inches thick and about 35 feet square. The inside of the walls, as far as they were constructed before the work was undertaken by the gov- Original Plan Changed: ernment in 1878—150 feet from the base—is of blue granite, not laid in courses. From this point to within a short distance of the beginning of the top of the roof the inside of the walls is of regular courses of granite, corresponding with the courses of marble on the outside. For the top marble is entirely used. The work has been declared the best piece of masonry in the world. By a plumb line suspended from the top of the monument Inside not three-eighths of an inch deflection has been noticed. The keystone that blinds the interior ribs of stone that support the marble facing of the pyramid cap of the monument weighs nearly five tons. It is four feet six inches high and three feet six inches square at the top. "On the 6th day of December, 1884, the capstone, which completed the shaft, was set. The capstone is five feet $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches in height, and its base is somewhat more than three feet square. At its cap, or peak, it is five inches in diameter. On the cap was placed a tip or point of aluminum, a composition metal which resembles polished silver, and which was selected because of its lightness and freedom from oxidation and because it will always remain bright. Staircase With 900 Steps. "A staircase of 900 steps winds its way to the top, around an interior shaft of iron pillars, in which the elevator runs; few people walk up, but many descend that way, in order to examine more carefully the inscribed memorial blocks which are set into the interior wall at various places. Within the shaft formed by the interior iron framework runs an elevator, making a trip every half hour and carrying, if need be, thirty persons. As this elevator and its ropes are of unusual strength and were severely tested by use in elevating the stone required for the upper courses as the structure progressed, its safety need not be suspected. The elevator is lighted by electricity and carries a telephone. Seven minutes are required for the ascent of 500 feet; and one can see as he passes all the inscriptions and carvings sufficiently well to satisfy the curiosity of most persons, as none of these memorials has any artistic excellence. An officer in charge of the floor marshals visitors into the elevator and another cares for the observatory floor at the top; but no fees are expected. The surrounding grounds form Washington park. "The view from the eight small windows, which open through the pyramid, or sloping summit of the obelisk, 517 feet from the ground, includes a circle of level country having a radius of from fifteen to twenty miles, and southwest extends still farther, for in clear weather the Blue Ridge is well defined in that direction. The Potomac is in sight from up near Chain bridge down to far below Mount Vernon, and the whole district lies unrolled like a map. To climb the Washington monument is, therefore, an excellent method of beginning an intelligent survey of the capital and of 'getting one's bearing.'" Eats a Thousand Bugs. A cliff swallow will eat a thousand files, mosquitoes, wheat-midgets or beetles that injure fruit trees in a day and therefore are to be encouraged, says the American Forestry association, of Washington, which is conducting the nation-wide campaign among school children for bird-house building. This bird is also known as the cave swallow because it plasters its nest on the outside of a barn or other building up under the eaves. Colonies of several thousand will build their nests together on the side of a cliff. These nests shaped like a flattened gourd or water-bottle are made of bits of clay rolled into pellets and lined with straw or feathers. This bird winters in the tropics. Spray Painting Corrugated Steel. The corrugated steel used for airplane hangars in this country and overseas was painted before shipment. Owing to the large quantity, of steel, it was out of the question to do this work by hand and machines could not be used on account of the corrugations. For this reason, a spray system of painting was employed. First, the sheets were coated with red lead before being corrugated, and after that they received a coating of green on one side and gray on the other side, applied by means of a jet 14 inches wide -Scientific American.

Often the dish which makes its second appearance will be more ap petizing than when it first appeared. Most tasty dishes may be prepared from leftovers that are of little value when used alone. This is the season when mushrooms may be had it first appeared. Most tasty dishes may be prepared from leftovers that are of little value when used alone. This is the season when mushrooms may be had for the gathering and a handful of this delicious flavor added to any leftover meat or escalloped vegetable makes an extraordinary out of an ordinary dish. Leftover sponge cake may be treated in the same way, using cooked fruits or fruit juices of various kinds. Cut in rounds and served with the fruit topped with whipped cream, this makes a most fancy dish. Ragout of Veal—Reheat two cupfuls of cold roast veal, cut in cubes, in one and one-half cupfuls of brown sauce, seasoned with a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, a tablespoonful of onion juice and a dash of cayenne. Roast pork or veal may be used in salads and a cupful or two of veal makes a small pot ple when covered with a good rich crust and baked. Small quantities of corn or asparagus or other vegetables with potatoes and a bit of onion for seasoning make a most appetizing salad. *Minced Mutton—Mash the yolks of six hard cooked eggs and season with cayenne and a fourth of a teaspoonful of mustard and salt. Add a cupful of cream and two cupfuls of chopped cooked mutton. When thoroughly hot add a quarter of a glass of currant jelly. Ham With Jelly Sauce.—Put a half tablespoonful of butter in a saucepan, and when melted add a small glass of sour apple jelly, season with cayenne, and add a cupful of cooked ham cut in neat strips, add a fourth of a cupful of orange juice and simmer five minutes, then serve. It is good to do battle, to suffer, to be thrown overboard and left to save ourselves, to lose in comfort we wish in energy, and energy is the most precious of man's weapons.—Charles Wagner. INVITING DISHES. When making gravy without browned flour add the flour to the fat and stir until well blended, then add milk or water and a teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet to give the rich brown color. 蛋糕 Raisin and Celery Salad.—Cut into small pieces two cupfuls of celery, two oranges broken in bits, two-thirds of a cupful of raisins, seeded and plumped over steam, a cupful of grated apple and a cupful of mayonnaise. Cover with this mixture the apple and mayonnaise, making an especially delicous mixture. Green Corn and Green Pepper.—Cut the corn from four ears, put into a frying pan with a tablespoonful of hot fat, add a chopped green pepper, season with salt and pepper and add more fat if needed and cook twenty minutes, stirring to keep from burning. Cassolet—This is a famous French dish which is both historical and appetizing. Soak over night one quart of lima beans; in the morning bring to the boiling point, add salt, fresh water and cook until tender, or nearly so. Place in a casserole two cupfuls of cold cooked chicken or duck, add the beans, an onion, half a cupful of strained tomato, a quart of hot broth and a teaspoonful of kitchen bouquet. Bake one hour, uncover, sprinkle with a little minced parsley, brown and serve. Filling.—Boll two cupfuls of sugar with four tablespoonfuls of water until it threads; pour over three well-beaten egg whites, add a half cupful of citron, shredded fine, half a cupful of shredded figs, one cupful of chopped raisins, and one cupful of chopped, blanched raisins. Spread between the layers and on top of the cake. Pressed Corned Beef.—Cover a piece of corned beef with cold water, let heat gradually to the boiling point, then simmer slowly until very tender, about six hours. Remove to a brick-shaped bread pan and cover with a board and weight. Let stand several hours. Serve cut in slices, garnishing the platter with parsley. The liquor saved from the meat may be used to cook cabbage, giving it a very nice flavor. Frozen Coffee Custard.—Scald a pint of milk. Beat four eggs until light, add them to the hot milk with a cupful of sugar, remove from the fire and cool, add half a pint of cold coffee and half a pint of whipped cream, then freeze. Serve in sherbet cups, garnished with whipped cream. Nellie Maxwell SHORTER CHAPEL, AFRICAN M. E. CHURCH. Corner Twenty-third and Washington avenue, A. M. Ward, minister, Phone Main 5474.

TWO GREAT CELEBRATIONS ATTRACTING NATIONAL ATTENTION. DURING the month of June and continuing to the early part of July, two celebrations of magnitude will attract the people of this nation, as well as cause more than passing notice to be taken by the outside world—one, the Tenth Anniversary Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing over 100,000 members, which will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, from June 21 to June 28; the other the Centary Celebration of American Methodist Missions, to be held at Columbus, Ohio, June 20th to July 13th. Up to this time a fair percentage of the American people have become acquainted with the purpose of the Association for the Advancement of Colored People, as from the numerous cases of segregation, lawless actions, murders and discrimination against this particular portion of the American population, that this organization has brought to light and demanded justice which has been gotten in the majority of cases, there is beginning to be a harmonious working among the races for a fair and impartial dispensing of the law of the land to all the people, and a betterment of living, thereby proving to the world our VAUNTED DEMOCRACY which we are requesting the nations of the world to accept as a standard for the uplift of all humanity. The continuation of this association and the hearty support it merits from our people as well as the other civilizing agencies of our country is sure to have an indorsement by the majority, if not all Americans, and the result of this anniversary will, we are sure, arouse the dormant minds, the lethargic spirits to the seizing of this opportunity to help in remedying the evils which have been heaped upon us by the cruel hand of PREJUDICE. The other event, The Centary Celebration of American Methodist Missions, is larger than a mere denominational action, as in the commemoration of the 100 years of missionary work started by a colored man in this country, there is such a combination of workers of all classes and races that the generic phase completely o'ershadows the circumscribed denominational appearance, and therefore both the religious and civil heads are endeavoring to make this event one long to be remembered. Every form of educational work will be exhibited during the twenty-four-day session, and as requested, the press by Negro editors will be represented in the same manner as the press of the other side. Talented musicians, numbering 2,500, including various races, will render choruses, etc., during the celebration, and this event, which has for its chief aim the bringing together or the closer union of humanity for the spread of the Christian religion and the further propagation of the doctrine—THE FATHERHOOD OF GOD AND THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN, should be filled with interest not only by the delegates and visitors, but of all America, and other lands, so that "the kingdoms of this world may become the Kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ." Delegates from all parts of America will attend these two events and Denver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo and other cities will be well represented by some of our leading citizens, black and white. THE COLORADO STATESMAN therefore takes great pleasure in requesting keen interest as well as constant prayer for the guidance and successful working of these two great history-making events which may be the epochal period in our time as we are assured nothing but good will result therefrom. EDITOR OF REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER BARES PRESIDENT WILSON DEMOCRACY. THE editor of "The National Republican" in a recent issue expressed himself clearly, forebly and fearlessly in an editorial "Why Reserve Democracy for the Export Trade," and anyone who had an opportunity of reading the whole article could not fail to see how ridiculous we are made to appear through the acts and expressions of a leader who places his partisan action above a common cause whereby the people at home would be the recipients of great benefits. Instead of launching a world-wide proposition for Democracy at a time when the people of all foreign nations are ready and ripe for it, and laying it down on such practical lines as could be easily grasped by the most ordinary mind, the present universal idea seems either too gigantic a task to be handled by its originator or the manner in which it is being conducted shows many omissions which give rise to doubts as to the successful working of a propaganda abroad which is wanting at home. The following is a portion of the message that President Wilson sent to the Congress and the comment of the editor of the "National Republican" gives a clear idea of what is termed "the export trade of democracy." The President writes: "How are the men and women who do the daily labor of the world to obtain progressive improvement in the condition of their labor, to be made happier, and to be served better by the communities which their labor sustains and advances? How are they to be given their right advantage as citizens and human beings? We cannot go any farther in our present direction. We have already gone too far." Then the editor answers, advising the President to talk the matter over with the twenty-two Democratic Senators from the old slave states; the leaders in public life whom the President is in closest touch and sympathy. Presenting statistics showing out of a population of 1,797,014 in Mississippi there are 1,009,487 black human beings, citizens under the national constitution, and in South Carolina's 1,515,400 the black people number 835,843 or more than half, the writer asks if we can take the President seriously in his message, when in these and other states this class or race of people, actually denied the constitutional right of having a say in the government of thing else than what democracy provides. The editor quotes from the speech thing else than what democracy provides. The editor quotes from the speech of a distinguished leader of President Wilson's own party when he said on the floor of the Senate that when any of these Negro proletarians attempted to vote "we shot them, we killed them, we buried them in the sand;" and the editor is of the opinion that the same would happen again if any of these Negroes who DO THE WORK in South Carolina attempted to exercise even that most fundamental right of citizenship, the right to vote. The article concludes by putting it up squarely to the Democratic party and its leader the putting into practice all the beautiful and soulful things said and written about DEMOCRACY by the nation's chief, and his party followers, and advises to begin from now to declare ourselves in opposition to this unfair and unjust treatment that treats so conveniently a certain element of the population. The Colorado Statesman therefore advises our people to begin now and watch every movement of our opponents to this great right, this glorious gift, DEMOCRACY, which is our's in this country, and do the needful when the time comes, proving that WE ARE BEGINNING TO GET THE NEW VISION. Every Element in Purchase of Thrift Stamps Contributes to Patriotism Every Element in Purchase of Thrift Stamps Contributes to Patriotism BY THE WIFE OF THE UNITED STATES ATTORNEY GENERAL The habit of saving by means of Thrift and War Savings stamps is a personal benefit as well as a help to the country, combining patriotism with a good and thoroughly safe business investment. © CLINT DINTY The person who with his savings is taking a part in financing his country takes up the same relationship to his country as a new investor in any enterprise. Like the investor in an industrial project he has a personal interest in the organization, the management, and the prosperity of the nation. He pays careful attention to public affairs, and a hitherto indifferent attitude is transformed into scrutinizing and critical thought. He has a new desire to promote in every way the well-being of the country. The well-being of a country, thus looked after, becomes a matter of healthy development, and lends no encouragement to bolshevist or anarchist. There is a patriotism, too, in the personal gain accruing to the individual from investment in War Savings stamps paying four per cent interest compounded quarterly. The person who is accumulating such a reserve fund is ready to better his condition when the opportunity comes his way; he cannot be shipwrecked by some unexpected storm of adversity; putting his savings into Thrift stamps and War Savings stamps, he is developing the habit of handling his earnings to their best advantage; he is keeping out of debt; he is evolving steady habits of self-development. A nation of such individuals means national stability and ever-increasing growth. In other words, every element in the purchase of War Savings stamps contributes to patriotism. Even the personal profit they pay makes for national solidity and advancement, for War Savings stamps are constructed in such fashion that they benefit both the buyer and the government. Jms A. Mitchell Palm By HARRIET A. ECKHARDT, Principal Swift School, Chicago Americanizing the public school through financial war time activities has proved a most illuminating object lesson to the teachers of the Swift school, to the parents of the pupils and to the boys and girls themselves. The Swift school, established five years ago, and named for George B. Swift, the forty-fifth mayor of Chicago, is an elementary school with about nine hundred pupils. The grades include kindergarten to eighth; the ages are from five to thirteen. It is in the Twenty-fifth ward, on the North side, and in a fairly well-to-do neighborhood. It may be said to be a typical big-city American public school. The Swift teachers proudly say, "Our million-dollar school." By this we mean that its war activities during the last two years have amounted to over a million dollars. The Liberty loan sales, including the Victory loan sale of $318,000, aggregate $918,150. The Red Cross activities include memberships, $1,252.25; ambulance, $1,795, and Belgian clothing fund of $285 raised by sale of 21 tons of paper collected by children, and the total is $5,923.55. War activities include Y. M. C. A., canteen and library contributions, and total $3,281.61. The sale of War Savings stamps to pupils aggregates $20,027, and the school itself has an investment in stamps of $2,455, the proceeds of entertainments. The grand total is $1,020,837.16. The nation has therefore been served by the Swift school to no small extent. But the benefit to the Swift school to the teachers, the pupils, the parents, the community and the school as a school—has been far greater in proportion. This benefit can hardly be set forth in comprehensive detail. It includes, however, outstanding items like these: Unifying of teachers, of pupils and of teachers and pupils, and development of the school spirit; the Swift motto is "Loyalty," and its banner is blue and white. Formation of habits of saving and thrift; appreciation of value of money; acquaintance with business methods; knowledge of the power of organization and teamwork; training in individual thinking and in public speaking. Increased interest in American history and institutions and in national affairs; a splendid spirit of loyalty and responsibility to school, city and country.

Or, if you prefer, you can complete your general instruction, and after education in certain subjects find splendid positions in commercial, industrial or scientific firms. I firmly believe that, just as our French soldiers have done, you will understand that it is your duty both to America and to yourselves to put into the reconstruction of your lives the same ardor and courage which you gave evidence of when you came to the aid of France. Many of our French soldiers believed that inasmuch as they had been wounded in serving the nation the nation ought to support them for the rest of their lives. France no more than America thinks of quibbling over the right of her wounded soldiers to generous compensation for their disabilities, but she is convinced that she should give a further proof of her appreciation of the valiant defenders by placing them in a position to serve their country again through their work. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

POPULAR MUSICIAN DIES SUD: DENLY. William Kelly, late saxaphone player in the Morrison's famous Jazz Orchestra, dropped dead from heart failure in Cheyenne, Wyo., as he was about to fill a musical engagement last week, Thursday evening. Mr. Kelly has been with the orchestra since its inception and was always commended highly by the leader for his regularity of attendance and punctuality of action. He was a fine musician, having traveled on circuits for several years when he was trombone soloist. He was very popular in the West and made. friends wherever he went. His sudden death casts a gloom in musical circles and is also very much regretted by the large number of friends he had in Denver. He leaves a sorrowing mother, other relatives and numerous friends to mourn his loss. The Colorado Statesman offers its heartfelt sympathy to his surviving relatives. CONCERT AT CENTRAL BAPTIST GRAND SUCCESS. The concert at Central Baptist Church last Monday evening was indeed a musical treat, as the well-prepared and arranged program offered an attraction to even the most critical, and the rendition of both artists and amateurs proved once more the quality of talent to be found in our city that is acquiring musical fame which will make up compare with any in the country. Rhoda Anderson Chambers, eminent solo pianist; Madame Lillian Hawkins-Jones, popular and famous vocalist; Valaurez Spratlin, one of the city's leading accompanists, and a sextette of voices trained by Mrs. Chambers, were the contributors to the program, the respective items of which came in for very much applause. A special feature was the Mendelsohn's "Concerte in G Minor," played by Mrs. Chambers and Mr. Spratlin on a Steinway Grand and a Bush and Gerts, in which a real exhibition of the art was given, the performers having a true conception of the composition and giving an interpretation which was very pleasing. A large and apprecia- tive audience responded to this effort of Mrs. Chambers under the auspices of the church, the proceeds being devoted to the building fund. The artists are Denverites that we are proud of and in wishing them more of success we will help to strengthen their cause in future events. VALAUREZ BURWELL SPRATLIN BACHELOR OF ARTS, DEN- VER UNIVERSITY. IT IS gratifying to note and it is with very great pleasure that we announce the success attending the scholastic efforts of Valaurez Burwell Spratlin, son of our esteemed physician, Dr. Paul E. Spratlin, in his obtaining the degree of Bachelor of Arts from the University of Denver, after four years of steady, arduous work, which is common to the ambitious mind and to the members of any community who have the right conception of leadership. Mr. Spratlin, who is either approaching his majority or has just passed it, is a real son of Denver's soil, being born here, and from his infant educational training to his present riper instruction, a wonderful career has been his lot. In his early youth, when the outlook was all that could be desired, he was stricken with an illness that deprived him temporarily of further scholastic training for years, but after recovering, the depth of intellect provided him by a great Providence spurred him on to great achievements. He then went from the graded to the high, winning a scholarship at the East Denver High, which placed him in the Denver University for the first year and brought about the present result after a determination to reach the present goal. Mr. Spratlin is also an accomplished musician, being the accompanist of his class and the pianist of his school for the respective terms. He also gained high honors in his fraternity class and is accredited by faculty and student body one of the best students that passed through the university and of which they are proud. At the graduation exercises last Thursday evening he received his degree, and in the presence of a large gathering among whom were many friends who have followed his career for these several years. A worthy son whom parents and relatives must be proud of, a representative of our race, whom we de light to honor and a citizen whom we trust the nation will receive in his continuance for the search of that knowledge qualifying him for LEADERSHIP. Congratulations to Valaurez B. Spratlin, B. A. CENTENARY CELEBRATION American Methodist Missions Columbus, Ohio, June 20 to July 13, 1919. May 30, 1919. May 30, 1919. Mr. J. D. D.

A SHARE MONTHLY PAYMENTS m Company DENVER, COLORADO HEARD and SEEN at the CAPITAL WASHINGTON.—Senator Sherman of Illinois threatened the other day to have the capital of the United States removed from Washington to the middle West. The senator is still on the warpath against profiteering land- "I have been giving the matter of landlord extortion consideration," said Senator Sherman. "After peace has been proclaimed, I do not see how a law can be passed which will limit a landlord in the amount of rent he may charge any more than it would be possible to pass a law saying how much a man may charge for wheat or any other commodity. "It has been reported to me that there will be a general and heavy increase in rents by the landlords. If that happens, I shall immediately introduce a measure transferring the capital of the nation to some other place, possibly St. Louis. "I do not think that many persons here realize the extent of the feeling which has been aroused among the members of congress by the exorbitant charges for rent and food and clothing they have been compelled to pay in Washington. A bill of the kind I have mentioned will have strong support." From a military point of view, Washington is about the poorest place that could be selected for a capital of the nation, he says. Nor is it centrally located so far as the interests of the country are concerned. Dangers of the Uncharted Seas Move Uncle Sam AMERICA is just now embarking upon a great career as a maritime nation. It is spending billions for ships and bidding for men to enter the merchant marine. One of the first duties of every maritime nation is to furnish marl- faces. Just before we entered the war the coast and geodetic survey celebrated its one hundredth anniversary and went through some other motions designed to attract the public attention to itself and to the need for an extension of its work. But with the declaration of war against Germany all this came to an end. Five out of the dozen or so small boats which the survey possesses were taken over by the navy for use as patrols, and more than half of the officers and men went with them, while those who remained were busy making special maps and surveys for the army and navy. Now that the war is over the coast and geodetic survey is going back to its proper work with energy. Its largest and best boat, the Survey, is now on her way to Alaska via the Panama canal, and others are being repaired and refitted for work on the Pacific coast. Adoption of a National Highways Policy Likely Adoption of a National Highways Policy Likely THE adoption of a national highways policy by the United States Chamber of Commerce at its annual convention, coupled with recent announcements by Senator Penrose, the next chairman of the senate finance committee, needs. To make this point clear it may safely be stated that a zone, ten miles in width and 75,000 miles in length, will reach more than 85 per cent of the population of the United States, more than 85 per cent of the taxable real estate and more than 55 per cent of the tonnage of farm products. "Such a system would protect with a military highway having an aggregate length of about 10,800 miles our Atlantic, Gulf, Mexican, Pacific and Canadian borders; would give access to our national forests, our national parks and open up much of the public domain not now easily accessible, and would afford trunk-line routes for parcel post in the territories where this form of transportation is most intensive in character." He also says that if as a condition to the building of the national highways in each state a construction of an equivalent mileage of state highways should be required, this would add 75,000 miles of state highways. This, with the national system, would aggregate 150,000 miles Do You Know Meter and Liter? Better Brush Up Do You Know Meter and Liter?

For there are strong indications that the meter and the liter will soon displace the yard and the quart in all your dealings. A movement fact. In all of our dealings with foreign peoples and governments we are handicapped because we do not use the same system of measurements. American scientists were compelled long since to adopt the metric system, with the result that many of their publications are incomprehensible. Now the war has convinced thousands of persons of the necessity for using the universal language of measurement in this country, with the result that the meter has many new and influential backers. "This country has lagged behind the rest of the world by neglecting to adopt a system of quantity expression so simple that the average child of ten can learn its essential features in ten minutes," is the way H. D. Hubbard, one of the experts on weights and measures the bureau of standards, puts it. He also says that our failure to cast aside a clumsy medieval system for one that is modern and practical has greatly handicapped us in business abroad and at home. Officials of the United States bureau of standards feel certain that this country will ultimately use the metric system.

Wounded Young French Infantry Officer Thought He was Going "Over the Top," and in That Belief Passed On. The head nurse watched the stretcher bearers clatter slowly and awkwardly down the path and disappear in the darkness bearing between them a silent, blanket-wrapped figure. Then slowly and thoughtfully she turned and entered the field hospital tent. The pale little nurses' aid, garbed in the picturesque blue of the American Red Cross, rose and came to meet her. In subdued whispers, scarcely audible in the big vacant stillness of the tent, she told the story of any changes which had taken place in the condition of the boys who lay so bravely silent on the 50 tiny cots. "Bartrand, that young infantry officer in bed No. 9, with the bad chest wound—he does not seem right," she said softly. "His lips are blue, and he sleeps so much." "Bring your flash," replied the head nurse, as she led the way over to the dark corner, where, in a bed separated from the rest, the young Bartrand lay, apparently sleeping. Leaning over him lightly, with a mother touch she laid her hand on his forehead. The boy's eyes opened, dazedly, and blinked in the glare of the aids' flashlight. Then, as with an effort, he smiled. Suddenly the tent flap nearest them opened. The Scotch orderly entered, reached quickly for the knob that governed the big center tent light and switched it off. Without a word the aid covered her flash and sprang to extinguish the desk light, while old Macdun, the trusty, crept along the tent wall behind the beds to be sure that each window was tightly closed. Overhead there gradually came into hearing a steady, regularly interrupted drone, like that of a malignant insect—then a flash—a great roar, not very far away—and the tent shook like a leaf in the wind. At the first sound of the raid Bartrand had started, sitting upright in bed. The head nurse, helpless in the intense darkness and fearing to make him more restless by attempting to put him down, held him in her arms. Soon, says Modern Hospital, in relating the story, he began to call out orders, rapidly, precisely, like a man who was used to being obeyed, and then still louder, with more spirit, until his voice rang and reverberated through the open spaces of the tent. "Attention! — Allons, mes enfants! — En avaut!" From somewhere in the darkness the voice of the aid, a trifle shaky, said: "He thinks he's going over." Another flash—another detonation—this time nearer. The head nurse felt something warm and wet soaking the front of her uniform. Then a silence—it seemed for ages. Finally Macdun, flashing on the light, called out: "They're gone, the beggars!" He came over to the bed and gave one look at the burden the head nurse held in her arms. Then, taking off his hat, he held it, folded, in front of his coat. "You can lay him down, miss. I think there's just work for me and the stretcher bearers now. The puir laddle's gone west." Mule Objected to Burden An observer attached to the First army had been up for several hours making notes on enemy infantry operations when he was suddenly attacked by a single-seat combat plane, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine. The balloon crew on the ground immediately began to haul the big gas bag down, but the observer was running no chances and took to his parachute. This drifted well back of the lines and deposited him in the midst of a number of grazing army mules, and right astride one mule. The mule, not taking kindly to the sudden load forced on him, began to rear and plunge, starting quite a commotion among the herd, and the observer was rescued with difficulty from his precarious position. Process Developed by War. Making parabolic mirrors by chemical deposition on a glass mold is described as one of the war-quickened processes. A layer of silver was deposited chemically on a highly polished glass mirror, and was thickened electrolytically, after which it was given a sixteenth inch plating of copper and a suitable backing of strengthening material. Difference in expansion on heating gave a ready means of loosening the metal from the glass. The silver surface was given a waterproof and heatproof coating of lacquer, and was ready for use in much less time than would have been required for grinding and polishing a glass mirror. American Chemical Products. The interest in chemistry and chemical products has greatly increased in the United States owing to the fact that this country has been forced by the war to depend upon its own resources in this direction. The following uses are ascribed to these chemical products: In making soap and paper pulp, mercerizing cotton and purifying mineral oils, caustic soda is used; soda ash is necessary in the manufacture of soap and glass; silicate of soda (better known as water glass) is utilized in the manufacture of soap and in dyeing and printing calco, finishing cotton goods, preventing wood rot, bleaching jute and preserving eggs. FAMOUS PEACE TREATIES TREATY OF PARIS, 1856. Ending the Crimean War, of Whose Heroes Florence Nightingale is Alone Remembered. One of those treaties intended to "settle forever the question of the Near East;" was signed at Paris in 1856, closing the Crimean war; the signatories being on the one side Turkey, France, England and Sardinia, and on the other Russia. over half of his subjects in European Turkey. Turkey declared war on October 5, 1853. The Russian army was already on the Danube and fighting began. France and England formed an alliance with Turkey; Austria as sumed a position of watchful waiting. About all that remains now in popular recollection regarding the Crimean war is Bayard Taylor's "Song of the Camp" and Tennyson's "Charge of the Light Brigade." Of all the reputations made in that war that of Florence Nightingale alone survives. Two poems have outlasted all the treaties and protocols to which the war gave rise and the name of a nurse is remembered while those of the generals who provided her sick and wounded are forgot. Among the statesmen who concluded the peace treaty the most brilliant and widely acclaimed was the Russian, Count Nesselrode, whose fame is now perpetuated only by the delectable pudding which bears his name and which a Paris cook invented in his honor during the peace conference. A curious incident of this war was the entrance of Sardinia into a conflict in which she was not the least concerned and the only lasting result of the war was the formation of the Kingdom of Italy, which French arms enabled Sardinia shortly after to establish in gratitude for Sardinian aid in the field and council chamber. Began to Shake "Mailed Flats." Began to Shake "Mailed Fists." The origin of the war was no less singular than its results. It sprang from a dispute between the Greek and Latin churches over the custody of the holy places in and around Jerusalem. The Greeks had gradually encroached upon the preserves of the Latins. Napoleon III. in 1851 demanded of Turkey that the property of the Latins be restored to them. The Czar Nicholas threatened Turkey if she interfered. The czar and the emperor, who hated each other personally, began to shake their "mailed fists." England suddenly realized that a conflict was impinging between Russia and France for paramount influence in the East. The czar made advances to England, saying that Turkey was "the sick man of Europe." He proposed a Russian protectorate over the principalities (Roumania) and the erection on the Balkan peninsula of independent Christian states; Constantinople to be neutralized, England to seize Egypt, Cyprus and Crete. It is interesting to compare these terms with what afterward actually happened and with what is now advocated with regard to Constantinople. Diplomatic pourparlers began. England tried to avert war by inducing France to modify her demands, but without success. Early in 1853 Russia mobilized her army and sent an ultimatum to Turkey demanding the maintenance of the status quo regarding the holy places and a Russian protectorate over the subjects of the sultan of the Greek faith. To have granted the latter would have deprived the sultan of authority TREATY OF LUNEVILLE, 1801. A Treaty That Ended an Empire a Thousand and One Years Old. The second coalition consisting of Russia, Austria, England, Portugal, Naples and Turkey began war with France in 1799. Napoleon was in Egypt and the directory saw its armies defeated in Italy and on the Rhine. Hastening back to France Bonaparte overthrew the directory and made himself first consul in November of that year. Crossing the Alps the next May he won the battles of Marengo and Montebello and restored the French power in Italy. Meantime Moreau had penetrated into the heart of Austria. On June 19 he won the battle of Hochstadt and on December 3 administered a final and crushing defeat to the Austrians at Hohenlinden. Russia had entered into amicable relations with France. Prussia had remained neutral; only a few of the smaller German states followed the German emperor, Francis of Austria. Moreau was within five days' march of Vienna, master of an immense stretch of territory and of all the enemy's magazines. The emperor had asked for an armistice and Joseph Bonaparte had met the Austrian envoy, Cobentzel, at Luneville in Lorraine to negotiate for a peace. Hostilities Resumed. The armistice was prolonged but, Austria refusing to negotiate without England, hostilities were resumed. Napoleon gave orders for a vigorous prosecution of the war, both in Italy and Germany. Joseph Bonaparte and Cobentzel remained at Luneville making negotiations which were changed every day by the progress of the war. At last, abandoned by the neutral powers, isolated in Germany and separated from England, which alone remained hostile to France, the emperor yielded, and on February 9, 1801, Cobentzel signed on behalf of Austria the peace of Luneville. For the last time an emperor of the Holy Roman Empire assembled the imperial diet and as the heir of the Caesars sailed over half of his subjects in European Turkey. Turkey declared war on October 5, 1853. The Russian army was already on the Danube and fighting began. France and England formed an alliance with Turkey; Austria assumed a position of watchful waiting. The allied fleets entered the Black sea while the Turks drove back the Russians until they had them north of the Pruth, and Austria, under an arrangement with Turkey, temporarily occupied the principalities. The western nations now formulated their "four points"; as much discussed then as the "fourteen points" more recently. They were: The czar's protectorate over Serbia and the principalities to be abolished; the navigation of the Danube to be free; the treaties regarding the Black sea and the Dardanelles to be revised "in the interests of the balance of power"; the czar to withdraw his pretensions to a protectorate over the Turkish subjects of the Greek faith. The custody of the holy places had already been settled. Czar's Acceptance Too Late. The czar informed Austria late in 1854 that he accepted the "four points." But it was too late. France and England determined that the war should go on until Russia was so crushed as to be no longer a menace in the East. An army of French and English had landed in the Crimea in September. The Russians were defeated at the battles of Alma, September 20; Balaclava, October 25, and Inkerman, November 5. The siege of Sebastopol began in October and lasted nearly a year. The allied troops suffered horribly in the trenches and the czar boasted that his two best generals, "General January and General February," would retrieve for him the fortunes of the war. While things were at their worst for the allies the fresh troops of the Sardinian army arrived. On the 8th of the next September the Malakoff was taken by storm and Sebastopol surrendered three days later. Czar Nicholas died of a broken heart and his successor accepted an invitation to treat for peace. Delegates met at Paris on February 25, 1856, the "four points" were made the basis for negotiations and a treaty was signed on March 30. Russia gave up her claims to a protectorate over the principalities and over the Christians of Greek faith in Turkey; ceded the mouths of the Danube and declared that river free to navigation under an European commission. Merchant ships were granted free entrance into the Black sea but men-of-war were barred. Russia was prohibited from maintaining a war fleet on that sea and agreed to dismantle her naval stations on its shores. Russia waited a favorable opportunity and when the Franco-Prussian war broke out informed the powers that she abrogated that part of the treaty regarding the Black sea—and there was none to say her nay. before it the peace which he had concluded. The treaty of Luneville was almost identical in terms with the treaty of Campo Formio, concluded between France and Austria in 1797. By it France was confirmed in possession of the left bank of the Rhine as far as Holland and the independence of Switzerland, Holland and the Clisalpine republic, which had been formed out of northern Italy, recognized. Seized Other Territory. Prussia, who as usual, had beer playing fast and loose, in return for the territories she gave up west of the Rhine seized four times as much territory in other parts of Germany. The Holy Roman Empire, which virtually came to an end at the peace of Luneville, had been in existence for a thousand and one years, since Charlemagne had crowned himself Emperor of the West as the successor of the Caesars. Three years after the peace of Luneville the Emperor Francis took the title of Emperor of Austria upon Napoleon proclaiming himself Emperor of the French, though he did not formally abdicate the crown of the Holy Roman Empire until 1806. First American Railroad. Although America's railroad history is recorded as beginning when the Baltimore & Ohio laid its first rails in 1828, a pair of rusted strips of iron still visible in eastern Massachusetts tell of a pioneer transporation line whose inauguration antedated that event by two years. From the granite quarries of West Quincy the old road ran four miles to tidewater on the Neponset river, and carried granite for the building of the Bunker Hill monument. The rails, of hand-forged iron, two inches wide and three-quarter inch thick, were held by hand-forged spikes to the granite roadbed. Mules were the locomotives, assisted by a cable where the grade was heavy. The WARD AUCTION COMPANY Sales Daily at 2 p.m. Office Furniture a Specialty.

Live on Grass Roots Railroad Administration Giving Careful Consideration to Necessary Measures. EXPECT GREAT WHEAT YIELD Tonnage of Grain Will Exceed That of Last Year by Large Margin— May Try Permit System Washington.—The railroad administration is giving careful consideration to the measures necessary for the satisfactory transportation of the anticipated large crops of grains, according to a statement authorized by Walker D. Hines, director general of railroads. The department of agriculture has estimated that the yield of winter wheat will exceed 900,000,000 bushels. A fair estimate of the yield of spring wheat approximates 300,000,000 bushels. The total yield of wheat this year will in all probability exceed the total of last year by from three to four hundred millions of bushels. No estimate of other grains is, of course, possible at this time, but, barring unusual climatic conditions, it can perhaps be properly expected that the tonnage in grain that will be produced this year will exceed that of last year by a considerable margin. The stable price fixed last year by the government on wheat naturally provoked a desire on the part of the producer to realize his earnings as quickly as possible, and since a stable price has again been fixed by the government for this year's crop it is assumed a similar condition will obtain. Last year this economical condition, coupled with more or less disarrangement in ocean tonnage and consequent disruption in shipping, resulted in such an acute situation at the interior grain markets and at seaports, that it became necessary to install the so-called "permit system," which was early made operative at the ports, and in September, 1918, at the principal interior markets. Controlling Traffic. The permit system is a highly beneficial system of controlling traffic at the sources to prevent serious congestion on the road and at destination. This system prevented in the fall of 1918 a serious transportation paralysis of former years due to widespread congestion of traffic which had been shipped but which could not be disposed of at destination. This paralysis of traffic in former years was most apparent in the East, but its injurious effects were felt throughout the country. While the permit system at the ports is still in operation, it was suspended a few months ago at the interior markets, due to improved ocean shipping and the fact that the bulk of the grain had been moved. It is, how- TURKS IN HUNGER Here in front of the Yeni Djami n ish citizens are holding a meeting asl Live on G Tale of Cannibals in Armenia Is Confirmed. Starvation and Misery Prevail Among Armenian Refugees in Caucasus Region. Constantinople.—Starvation and misery prevail among Armenian refugees in the Caucasus region, according to a telegram sent to Herbert Hoover in Paris by Howard Heinz, American food commissioner for the near East, who is in this city. Mr. Heinz has returned from a trip of inspection in the Caucasus, on which he was accompanied by Walter George Smith of Philadelphia, former president of the American Bar association and a commissioner of the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief, which has charge of Most Deadly of All War Gases ever, to be expected that the system will again be inaugurated with the opening of the new wheat season, and in view of that possibility the railroad administration is already preparing the necessary machinery so that it may be prepared to act without delay at the proper time. Conferences have already been held with representatives of the grain corporation. As graphically illustrating the necessity of regulating the transportation of this tonnage, and the results obtained from such regulation, the following facts are of value and interesting: For the nine months of the crop year, July 1, 1918, to May 1, 1919, there passed through the grain handling facilities of the country—elevators and mills—a total of 3,440,236 bushels of all grains, although the highest point of grain storage of all kinds at any one time in that period was 480,000,000 bushels. That is, in nine months the flow of grain was seven times the quantity which accumulated in storage at the highest point during that period. This is a direct illustration of the necessity of keeping the grain-handling facilities of the country liquid to avoid the distress to all interests that would follow the blocking of this flow of grain. Relnaugurate Permit Plan. The permit system as operated last year contemplates the closest co-operation between the railroad administration and the United States food administration grain corporation. The local representatives of the grain corporation were in daily contact with Most Deat All W Ten Tons a Day Being Made When the Armistice Was Signed. DISCOVERED BY PROF. LEWIS Ten Airplane Loads of This Super- Poison Sufficient to Have De- stroyed All Life in Berlin— Known as "Methyl." Washington.—At the educational ex- position, illustrating the wartime and reconstruction activities of the depar- ment of the interior now being held there is being shown under guard a sample of the most terrible super- poison gas known, the discovery of Prof. W. Lee Lewis while in the em- ploy of the bureau of mines at its American university laboratories. This gas, formerly called "Lewisite," ER DEMONSTRATION mosque in Constantinople hungry Turk- king the government to feed them. Grass Roots a great part of the relief work there. Mr. Heinz says reports that some of the refugees, driven frantic by hunger and suffering, have resorted to cannibalism are true in his opinion. He adds that food for 500,000 in that territory will have to be provided by outside sources for another year. "The lack of food is so serious," says the telegram, "that the women are forced to go into the fields and obtain grass roots, which they cook into a kind of broth and serve as boiled greens, occasionally getting a bit of rice to mix with it. This constitutes the principal diet of many. The little children, naturally, get the worst of this situation, because they cannot eat such material, and it is among the children that the death rate is the highest. "It is difficult to make comparisons as to the degree of destitution and distress in different districts of towns. Whisky Still Found in Top of Huge Tree Knoxville, Tenn.—It is nothing unusual to find illicit distilleries hidden in caves, cellars or in dense undergrowths of mountain laurel, states T. B. Ivins, veteran moonshine raider of the internal revenue department. But to find one perched in the top of a towering oak tree is quite a novelty, he says. Mr. Ivins located a large copper still in such a place when conducting a raid in the famous old Tenth district, or Sevier county, Tennessee. The outfit was dislodged and destroyed. the grain control committees at each market, and in view of the very comprehensive data and information in their possession as to storage facilities, anticipated movements out of markets, the needs of different sections of the country, not only as to wheat but as to other cereals that flow coincidentally with wheat, etc., were of invaluable aid in the accomplishment of the permit system with a minimum economic disturbance. The same character of assistance is being arranged for from the grain corporation, or the wheat director, in anticipation that it will be necessary to reinaugurate the permit plan within the next one or two months. The wheat director is as vitally interested as the railroad administration that the grain tonnage shall be handled with the least possible friction as between all interests concerned, and is in entire harmony with the railroad administration as to the plans proposed in that direction. later known as "methyl," because the latter name meant nothing to curious persons, was being manufactured by the war department at the rate of ten tons a day when the armistice came. The gas is being variously described as "the climax of the country's achievements in the lethal arts" and as "the most terrible instrument of manslaughter ever conceived." The department itself declares that it is the most deadly of all war gases. Most Deadly of All. It is said that ten airplane loads of "methyl" would have been sufficient to destroy all life in Berlin, if such extreme measures had been necessary, and that a single day's output would have been sufficient to snuff out the 4,000,000 human lives on the island of Manhattan. This gas was not only discovered by Professor Lewis, but was also developed by him to a point where it was ready for production at the American university while those laboratories were still under the control of the bureau of mines, one of the organizations of the department of the interior. When this work was first taken up by the bureau in behalf of the military authorities Professor Lewis was called from his civilian duties as professor of chemistry at Northwestern university, Evanston, Ill., and at the request of the bureau was commissioned as captain in the ordnance department and assigned to the gas warfare service of the bureau of mines. While acting in this capacity Professor Lewis discovered and developed this gas, and 19 days after the gas work of the bureau of mines was transferred to the jurisdiction of the war department an 11-acre plant for its manufacture was started near Cleveland, O. "Mouse Trap" Plant This plant, which was dubbed by the workmen the "mouse trap," because, in order to prevent the leakage of information, it was understood that the men who entered would not leave until the war was over, was in operation within a miraculously short time, and plans were made by the war department to have 3,000 tons of this most diabolical gas at the American front by March 1, 1919. When the armistice came the plant was well ahead of its production schedule, but the opportunity had not come for the use of the gas at the battle front. but I think the worst situation that came to my knowledge was in Igdir, where there is a larger proportion of sickness and a higher death rate than in either Erliyan or Alexandropol. "Regarding reports of cannibalism which have come out of this district from Coa I have been forced against my will to believe these reports to be true. I saw with my own eyes mutilated remains of corpses which had been exhumed from newly-made graves. I did not see anybody who had actually witnessed the eating of human flesh, but there is so much circumstantial evidence that I personally came to believe it true.

BILL TO SEPARATE LEAGUE FROM TREATY CAUSES SCRAP. THE KNOX RESOLUTION CHARGE MADE THAT POLITICS HAS STRONG BEARING ON ACTION. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, June 20.—Debate of the League of Nations shifted to political grounds again in the Senate with a resulting flurry of party feeling which ended in an admonition by the chair that Senate rules must be obeyed. The flareup started when Senator Williams of Mississippi, a Democratic member of the foreign relations committee, charged the Republicans had "stacked" the committee against the League. Senator Moses of New Hampshire, a Republican member, made a spirited denial and Senator McCormick, Republican, of Illinois, declared the Paris peace mission had been "stacked with Democrats." Other senators quickly got into the discussion and still others were asking recognition when Vice President Marshall called a halt, ruling that the discussion, which had interrupted a speech by Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Colorado, was out of order. The Colorado senator then resumed his address, directed against the Knox resolution, by which the Senate would ask an opportunity to accept the peace treaty without the League of Nations covenant incorporated. Senator Williams' charge followed one by Senator Thomas that the Republicans first had put the League into politics by the celebrated round robin of the last session, and now were condemning Democratic support of the League as partisan. Mr. Thomas is one of the Democratic senators who have taken no definite stand regarding the League, but in his speech he read many extracts from historical works to show that in the past beneficial proposals often had met the same arguments as now confront the League covenant. The Knox resolution he opposed as improper and would be interpreted as a presumptive effort to dictate to the peace conference. Answering the plea that the people should have more time to consider the League proposal, he asserted there already had been wide discussion of the subject for several years. "If there is a man between the two oceans who hasn't discussed it and reached some conclusion regarding it," he said, "the fact argues for his ignorance and for the impossibility of his ever reaching any conclusion." There was no effort to bring the Knox resolution up for a vote and there were predictions in some quarters that it would be permitted to die on the calendar. Dive From Aeroplane Atlantic City, N.

Labor's New Declaration. Atlantic City, No. J.—A comprehensive reconstruction program, designed to "bring to all people greater hope for a better day, a brighter life, greater liberty and a larger degree of happiness," was adopted by the American Federation of Labor at its annual convention. Radicals and conservatives united in approving a report embodying reconstructive recommendations devised by the federation's executive council. The report was termed by labor leaders "a new declaration of independence for the workers of America. Throat Injured by Bomb. Chicago.—Lord Northcliffe, one of England's strongest leaders during the war, who went under the knife for throat trouble, is believed to be the victim of a Chicago "stench bomb." That the lowly homemade missile, hurled during the banquet at the La Salle hotel here two years ago, was responsible for the famous editor's long illness, culminating in the operation, is indicated by incidents that happened during Northcliffe's visit. Quick Mobilization. New York.—Ten regiments of the New York state guard demonstrated what they could do by the way of protecting the city in an emergency, when they answered a test mobilization call and quickly threw cordons of armed guards about public buildings, power houses, car barns, public utilities and the homes of prominent citizens. The guardsmen carried out the practice drill so grimly that in many quarters it was believed that they were to remain on guard duty to protect the city from "red" outbreaks.

A plain satin skirt Is the foundation for a short, full cunte of georgette, which {n turn sup- ports three bands of satin. In the bodice the order {fs reversed and the ape prodes the under portion and Capes and capelike wraps have taken such hold upon popular taste that designers continue to offer new models in them. It Is something of @ task to avoid duplicating styles and to preserve a flavor of individuality in wraps as simply constructed as the cape 1s, but the ingenuity of thelr makers keep them from being tire- somely allke. There is a better chance for variety in dolmans and in combinations of cape and dolman, and ‘an occasional model that is a cape, pure and simple, makes a success merely by contrast with these. A cape of this kind in a black and white checked wool fabric Invites study as a pratical summer wrap, as shown in the picture. For young women and for misses its simplicity recommends it. It Is a snappy and youthful model, with plain black satin collar and ning of gray foulard. Capes made of the lighter weight wool- ens are usually shorter than those of duvetyn or other heavy weaves; the ‘ape In the picture, about three-quar ver length, Is a good example.

The short-sleeved peasant walst wort over it has a double row of small round, satin-covered buttons down the front, set very close together. All its edges are piped with satin-covered cord. This frock must stand or fall on its own merits, as it has nothing in the way of precedent to lean upon in the season's showings. The dress at the right starts out with a plain skirt of satin and finishes up with a very short tunic and bodice of the same material. For once geor gette crepe plays no part in the story. ‘The tunic is shorter at the left side than at the right and manages to make place for three bands of satip and also contrives to look frivolous. A full bodice and wide, crushed girdle lend such a flavor of youthfulness to this frock that its frivolity is taken as a matter of course, and the deep flar ing cuffs that finish the sleeves prove so unexpected as to be amusing. ga ee eae) Gee ke eet gk Sere MAY Bawggo te t/a tae ay Roe» eae ae vee aE Ome ee ew et A Wonderful Hair Dressing and Grower - A Wonderful Hatr Dressing and Grower.

RANADe to Write for terms, left of the picture, is made of black satin. It follows the favorite of the two silhouettes that have governed the designers of capes and similar wraps this season, in being very full about the body and narrowing toward the hem. The satin falls in a sort of cascade below the set-on sleeves, and a very wide shawl collar adds to the appearance of ampleness in the wrap. Little buttons at the top of the sleeve make a handsome finish, and an unusual feature of this model ap- pears in the narrow girdle of satin at the front. Every woman knows how useful a black satin wrap proves to be. So many times we condemn an ar ticle of apparel—corsets, gloves, stockings, veils and similar things that should be carefully handled— simply because our own poor, reck- less, shiftless, absolutely unintelligent use of them mars them quickly, makes them unfit and unsightly in too short a time,
