LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY SOME FACTS GIVEN TO BETTER RACIAL FEELING VOL. XXV. By ATTORNEY W. L. OFFORD. THE recent ract riots in our city have occasioned many expressions from citizens through the press, stating the cause which (in their opinions) leads up to these racial outbreaks. Some of the remedies suggested were figments of prejudiced minds, while others were more reasonable and sane. No permanent good can result from quick, ill-tempered and impassioned decisions, but the subject must be approached with careful and measured steps and with an open, unprejudiced mind which comprehends the subject matter in all of its ramification. To no one cause can be attributed these riots, which have become national in their scope, but rather they result from a confluence of causes, which are in the main racial, economic, industrial, social and political. Whites Must Change. First, it must be remembered that the change in the industrial and educational life of the Negro imposes upon the white man the duty of modifying his former attitude and treatment of the Negro. These new developments in the Negro's life in the twentieth century cannot be met and handled successfully by eighteenth century methods, ideas and prejudices. There must be a wholesome recognition and acceptance of present day conditions; that there is a new Negro to deal with that the old hat-in-hand, yes-sir-boss type is a thing of the past in this section of the country. The new, intelligent Negro leadership thinks in terms of immediate and consequent results in all matters affecting him and his relation with the white man, and teaches industry, thrift and economy, and not social equality, which is a matter that experience has-taught yields not to legislative nor mob regulation, and if let alone will adjust itself. Much has been said about segregation and forcing the Negro to live within certain territorial limits. The peace and harmony between the races that is desired by the thoughtful and temperate minds in both races cannot be promoted and realized through the medium of segregation. Segregation will only add fuel to the already raging flames of race prejudice and result in emphasizing racial differences. Contact such as will result in a better relation of neighborliness and understanding between the races, is what is needed. Living Conditions. The acquiring of wealth, education and civic pride results in the gravitating together into groups or classes of persons of like attributes and common tastes, and creates the desire for better living conditions and surroundings. This is true among Negroes as well as other people; therefore, it is just as foolish to talk about all Negroes living where the mass of them live as it is to say that all Jews and Italians should live on the West Side, because most of their people are there. Being an American product, the Negro has not only absorbed the white man's vices, but also his virtues; among the last is the desire to live amid pleasant surroundings, limited only by his means. Denied Opportunity. The Negro is a member of this community in our civic, moral, industrial and economic life, and will always be wanting and defective in its strength so long as the Negro is denied equal opportunity to develop along these lines. His demands in this direction are just and equitable. He has won with his blood and brawn every right he claims and for which he contends. The foundation of this nation's wealth was born of his labor. No soldier in the last, as well as previous wars in which this country participated, was more brave than the Negro nor more willing to make the supreme sacrifice for his country. He is taxed and required to live up to all other requirements of citizenship the same as other men. He oversubscribed his quota of war bond issues. Then why should he be asked or expected to be satisfied with less in the way of rights, privileges and immunities than are freely accorded other races and peoples? The Negro in this country is purely an American product, and, thus far, is a poor Socialist and no Bolshevist at all. He has no other fatherland to which he feels he owes and gives a large part of his allegiance, while at the same time claiming American citizenship. And if America would give better facilities and opportunities to the Negro to develop in the principles of manhood and citizenship it would prove a better investment than throwing our doors open to disgruntled elements from Europe, who oppose all forms of organized government. Yet we foolishly believe these alliens can be made first-water Americans by their going through the prescribed form of naturalization; but they, in fact, while filling their pockets with American gold, form secret plots and spread propaganda that is inimical to American institutions, and eats like a cancer into the very heart of our national existence. Governor Lowden having failed to have the Legislature at its last session pass a bill providing for a "race commission" to study race problems, now proposes to appoint such a commission himself. There is no need of any such commission. An impartial enforcement of the existing laws is all that is necessary, and will do more than a dozen commissions. Whenever a public official falls down in the performance of his duty in a crisis, he takes refuge in the formation of a commission, which does nothing more than spend a lot of public money and act as a cushion between said official and the public's wrath. No issue is settled until it is settled right. The Negro question is looming up larger each day, and any settlement that is predicated upon self-ishness and prejudice will not stand. He is not and never will consent to become a ward of the nation, but, through education and thrift, aspires to the full enjoyment of citizenship in a nation and a civilization amid which Almighty God has seen fit to place him.—Chicago Defender. Eastman, Ga., Aug. 28.—Ell Cooper, a Negro, was shot to death in a church at Ocmulgee, Ga., near here today, by a mob. The church then was burned. Other Negro churches and a lodge in the vicinity were burned yesterday after reports had been circulated that the Negroes were planning to "rise up and wipe out the white people." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 30, 1919 NEGROES ARE CITIZENS SAYS MAYOR--PROTECT THEM. Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 21.—Minneapolis never had a race war, but it did have a near riot with a colored person as its cause before the civil war. But it was for the benefit of the slave. In those days, many southerners came up the river to spend the summer here. Their favorite stopping place was the old Winslow house, a huge hotel which was torn down in 1888 to make way for the Exposition building. The trouble came in connection with a colored woman who was brought here as a slave by a St. Louis doctor and his family as their personal servant on their vacation. Slavery was then a very live issue. When the slave woman desired to claim freedom because she was in a free state, her owner objected, but her claim attracted instant and general support from the Minneapolis on that day. She was taken away from her master and solicitously cared for by the women while the men turned out en masse prepared to nullify any forcible attempt to return her to servitude. The whole town was ready to fight her battle for her. This was before the final Dred Scott decision. The woman di dnot gain her freedom but the incident made southerners chary about bringing slaves into Minnesota. Timid ones among the present colored population here who do not know this incident in the history of this city are inclined to be apprehensive lest the Chicago trouble spread to Minneapolis. Their representative assurances today in conference with Mayor Meyers to the effect that individual safety of all residents would be absolutely provided. "We must remember that the Negroes are citizens," the mayor said, "and we want to assure them they will be given every protection of the police department." VOTE IN GEORGIA MAY PROVE BIG FACTOR Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 21.—The coming elections in this state have caused much worry to the Georgian whites, because the question of the Negro voters was brought into the fight. An Atlanta paper had the following to say: The legislature who votes for throwing the whole state of Georgia into a whirlpool of the kind proposed, upon the eve of the national election of 1920, will be assuming a fearful responsibility! A contest of the sort contemplated by this capital removal measure would enfranchise every adult Negro in Georgia. It would send to the voting booth the irresponsible driftwood and the floating derelicts in the state, who for years have been disfranchised by their failure to pay taxes. Each side would naturally go out after the biggest vote it could muster; and the result would be that every possible Negro voter and every formerly non-taxpaying irresponsible white man would be made eligible, and voted, the consequence of which would be that the Negroes would be found holding the balance of political power in the state! And the melee that would follow, with the Negroes in the majority in many South Georgia counties—which, with their strength in all other counties, would give them the balance of power over the state—would invite a return of reconstruction conditions in Georgia! After all of the sacrifices that were necessary to close that dark chapter of the state's history, it would be a dangerous thing indeed, to invite its repetition! This capital removal proposal is loaded with dynamite!—Atlanta Constitution. $100,000 BUILDING CORPORATION FOR GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga.,—With the ultimate view of supplying funds to the Negroes of the south for building and owning their homes, the United Investment corporation was organized in Atlanta with a capital stock of $100,000. The most prominent Negroes in Georgia are financing this project, and it is proposed to open branch offices in every southern city. At present, according to officials of the corporation the majority of the Negroes in the state are renters, and with the rates steadily increasing the problem is fast becoming a serious one. Their plan is to loan money at a moderate rate of interest to Negroes for building purposes, J. B. Long, of Atlanta, one of the most prominent members of the board is acting president. NEGROES ASK RACE EQUALITY THROUGH LEAGUE, AND THREATEN TROUBLE. Washington, Aug. 28.—Asking for an amendment to the peace treaty so as to provide for racial equality a delegation of Negroes, speaking for the National Equal Rights League, told the Senate foreign relations committee today that serious trouble might be expected unless better treatment were accorded Negroes in the United States. "The black man has given notice," said A. Whaley, a New York Negro, "that what he has suffered in the past will not be endured in the future. He means business now. There can be no compromise." William Monroe Trotter of Boston, secretary of the league, voicing a similar opinion, said the "oppression" of the Negro in America was reaching a point where no one could be sure "that our land will be a land of peace." Neither witness was questioned as to what he had in mind by these declarations. Only five of the seventeen committee members, all of them Republicans, attended the meeting. An amendment to give the United States a mandatory over Kamerun, a German colony in Afried, was requested by Joseph T. Thomas, a Negro of Cleveland, Ohio, representing the National Race Congress. American Negroes, he said, could be recruited to police the territory under white officers. A petition that all the African colonies taken from Germany be "divided between Egypt, Abyssinia and Liberia" was filed by the league of darker peoples of the world. Two amendments were proposed by the Equal Rights League. One would provide in the League of Nations covenant that the members would agree and vouchsafe to their own citizens the "possession of full liberty, right of democracy and protection of life, without restriction or distinction based on race, color, creed or previous conditions." The other would add a similar guarantee as a separate section of the treaty. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources Albany, N. Y., Aug. 30.—The Albany Police Protective Association has endorsed the movement inaugurated by the savings division of the Treasury Department to encourage national thrift through purchase of government savings securities and has entered on an active campaign for the sale of Savings Stamps and Savings securities. The banks of Albany have provided a fund from which awards will be made to policemen, firemen and letter carriers who prove most active in promoting saving and thrift. Birmingham, Ala.—No more Negroes will be accepted for service in the navy, according to instructions received at the local navy recruiting station yesterday. Experienced Negro cooks will continue to be enlisted to handle the cooking, but even Negro mess attendants will not be accepted after this date. The campaign for recruits being waged by the recruiting officers in Alabama is meeting with much success, according to Lieut. Commander J. E. Meredith and a large number of applications are being received daily. Springfield, Mass., Aug. 21.—Equality for all races was demanded in resolutions unanimously passed yesterday at the 38th annual convention of the Massachusetts and Maine district of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America which opened in this city yesterday morning. The resolutions demand the enforcement of the laws of the nation without distinctions of race, or color and further call upon the government to give the Negro an opportunity to cast a ballot in the southern states where, it is asserted, this right is denied him. The resolutions were presented by members of the Boston lodge at yesterday afternoon's session. The 200 delegates attending the convention which is being held jointly with the convention of the District Grand Household of Ruth, the women's auxiliary of the order, were welcomed to the city at the opening of the morning session by President Christo New York, Aug. 21.—The only Colored Women's Motor Corps in the world is that of the Hayward Unit, a branch of the National League for Women's Service in New York City. If you can imagine the feeling of a man in the desert coming unexpectedly up on an oasis you will appreciate the surprise and joy of colored soldiers lying wounded in New York hospitals at the sight of women of their own race to comfort and cheer them as they had so often seen their white comrades visited by other members of the league. While the work of the Hayward unit may not be as extensive or as far reaching as that of other departments in point of personal service and results accomplished it is excelled by none. Washington, Aug. 13.—Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle, chief of the woman's bureau of the police department, announces that she is about to appoint colored women as police to act directly under her instructions in supervising the moral conduct of the city. These women will be clothed with full police authority, she said. They will be assigned to operate among the members of theirrew n rae, but if infractions of the law should come under their personal observation, they must fulfil their sworn duty and make the arrests, and in every other way exercise the police power that is given into their hands by the fact that they are sworn officers of the law, said Mrs. Van Winkle. AMERICAN Negro business men in their convention at St. Louis, just concluded, adopted strong resolutions urging men and women of their race to practice the utmost thrift and systematic saving. Following is the text of the resolution adopted by the organization: "It is the sense of the National Negro Business League that inasmuch as thrift and systematic saving are elements that contribute directly to the increase of prosperity, and since the great promise of America's industrial and commercial power lies in the ability of the people to save, which savings may be safely and profitably invested in War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates, all the citizens of the United States should lend their heartiest co-operation and support to the movement to the end that systematic saving and safe investment may become a permanent national habit." NO. 45. Springfield, Mass., Aug. 21.—Equality for all races was demanded in resolutions unanimously passed yesterday at the 38th annual convention of the Massachusetts and Maine district of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of America which opened in this city yesterday morning. The resolutions demand the enforcement of the laws of the nation without distinctions of race, or color and further call upon the government to give the Negro an opportunity to cast a ballot in the southern states where, it is asserted, this right is denied him. The resolutions were presented by members of the Boston lodge at yesterday afternoon's session. The 200 delegates attending the convention which is being held jointly with the convention of the District Grand Household of Ruth, the women's auxiliary of the order, were welcomed to the city at the opening of the morning session by President Christopher G. Simpson of the common council. National Deputy Grand Master Dr. Isaac Roberts of Boston, responded to President Simpson's address and called upon him as a member of the city government to see that justice was given to Negro here. The response to the address of welcome on behalf of the Household of Ruth was given by District Most Noble Grand, Mrs. Anna L. Young. WANT TO BAR COLORED MEN FROM THE ARMY Washington, D. C., Aug. 20.—Coming upon the heels of another bill that just had been introduced to prohibit the intermarriage of white and colored, Representative Caraway of Davis, Tenn., introduced a bill to prohibit the enlistment of any member of the Negro race in the military or naval services of the United States of America, and directing the discharge of all members of the race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States. The Southern members of Congress seem to be running wild on the bases when it comes to introducing bills to curb the freedom of the Negro race. The affairs of the government are coming to a bad end when the money of honest taxpayers is used to support such narrow-minded statesmen as represent some sections of the South. To them the only way to gain a national reputation is by constantly hammering on the Negro. METHODIST TO CONSTRUCT NEW BUILDING FOR INDIANA SCHOOL. Pine Bluff, Ark.—Plans for the immediate construction of a $60,000 administration building for the Arkansas Haygood Industrial Institute were made at the annual barbecue dinner for the members of the Advisory Board here recently.

The paving gangs have started to remove the six inches crust of dirt above the grade established by the engineers. The paving will cost $50,000 and will be completed by Oct. 1. The total country revenue raised by taxation through tax levies for county purposes this year would be, if all taxes were paid, $8,886,851.71. This amounts to an average county tax levy of 6.23 mills. The actual levies range from 3.30 mills in Phillips county to 18.50 in Pitkin county. The Sunnyside mill of the Sunnyside Mining and Milling Company at Eureka is under operation after a forced closed down by the $250,000 fire that destroyed the bunk and boarding houses at the mine several months ago. This mill is one of the largest and best equipped in the state. The total acrenge of rye planted in Colorado for the 1919 harvest was approximately 165,000 acres, compared with a little more than 15,000 acres in 1909. Yuma county is Colorado's banner rye growing county, with 29,051 acres, or nearly twice as much as was grown in the state in 1909. A paving project to cost $700,000 and provide hard surfaced highways through Colorado Spring from north to south and from east to west has been indorsed by the Colorado Springs Automobile Club and doubtless will be submitted to the voters at a special election to be held next month.

Costly and Akins, leasing on the Southern Boy mine in the La Plata mountains, have cut a three-inch streak of high-grade ore that assays $4.50 per pound. The ore carries 418 ounces gold and sixty ounces silver to the ton, and was discovered in the shaft that is being sunk in an open cut where some good ore was mined two or three years ago. The Southern Boy is located one mile above the camp of Mayday, and the high-grade is in a monzonite-porphyry formation. Rolling down the hillside with the velocity of a cannon ball, a huge boulder, which weighed at least two tons, crashed through the two walls of a barn at the rear of the residence of E. F. Boles at Telluride, and then crashed through the walls of the kitchen. Verner Z. Reed, late Colorado philanthropist, was worth $5,777,910.53 when he died several months ago.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Out of 476,510 acres of coal-bearing school lands in Colorado as shown by the United States geological survey, state lands under lease for coal mining do not exceed 11,594 acres, and this latter acreage is less than 6 per cent of the corporation-controlled lands totaling 211,000 acres. These figures are given in a report compiled by Horace Havens, mineral superintendent of the State Land Board, and issued by the board at the request of State Auditor Arthur M. Stong, who is investigating the prices and profits on coal in connection with the work of the governor's investigating commission. The report shows 5,794 acres of state school lands listed as coal producing as being under lease to corporations. Of this total, 1,800 acres are not being operated. Coal production from the state school lands to July 1 last has been 2,539,141 tons, which produced in royalties $230,314.90 plus $31,005, representing minimum payments on leases, or $261,319.90 in all. The royalty, which was recently 10 cents a ton, is now 12 cents a ton on most leases, the report further showed, and all leases are subject to revision every five years. Curator Junius Henderson of the university at Boulder, will spend most of his time this year collecting war relics to be added to the already numerous instruments of war contributed by returned soldiers, who were formerly students in the university. Miss Charlotte Ball, daughter of Colonel Ball of Boulder, recently deposited a German helmet, to have been used in the "triumphal entry" into Paris, in the university collection. Enough freight cars to handle expeditionally the wheat and beet crops of Colorado are at the disposal of the Colorado & Southern railroad, it was announced by officials of the company.

The crop, according to estimates made by the railroad company, is 10 per cent heavier than last year. C. B. Akard and wife of Montrose have announced the donation of a full-time pipe organ to be installed in the new Congregational church now under construction in that city. The organ will be a memorial to their daughter, Mattyne Shirley Akard, deceased. The organ, which is being constructed especially for the space in the church, will be one of the finest in the state. Six persons narrowly escaped death when the auto in which they were riding plunged off the road in Phantom canyon, near Victor, down a fifty-foot embankment, landing on its right side. The party, which was made up of Mr. and Mrs. John Butler and four children, tourists, were rushed to the district hospital by passing motorists and all are in a serious condition. Rose Fiscus, 19-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Fiscus of Pueblo, was instantly killed when the automobile she was driving pitched over a forty-foot embankment into the St. Charles river, nine miles east of Pueblo. Her mother, sister, Augusta, 11 years old, and 2-year-old brother were with her, but escaped from the wreck with only minor injuries. An ax and a knife were used by Frank Ballegos in killing Mercurio Ballegos, his uncle, near La Posta, according to a statement made in Durango, by Mrs. Ballegos, 18-year-old wife of the murdered man, who is in jail with his nephew. Ballegos' 2-year-old son was a witness to the murder, which took place in the Ballegos home, according to the child's mother. In Logan county more than 62,000 acres of land was broken this year or last summer for cultivation in crops this year. This is more than is under cultivation in any one of forty-one counties in the state. Lee Coplen, formerly of Colorado Springs, was shot by unknown autoists at Lincoln, Neb. He had left Colorado Springs, April 1st, where he had been employed in the Whiteview mines. The mystery of the robbery of zinc precipitates, valued at $7,000, from the Independence mill of of the Portland Gold Mining Company was solved when Sheriff Henry Von Phil of Cripple Creek, assisted by Sheriff John H. Weir of Colorado Springs, apprehended Robert Burns of Victor, at Manitou. About 500 pounds of the precipitates were recovered. Experts who have examined irrigation conditions carefully in Colorado estimate that nearly 1,000,000 acres of land for which irrigation water is available has been damaged by seepage or over-irrigation and alkali and that practically all of it could be made as productive as it ever was by proper drainage. A relic of their barbaric past, yet such a part of their tribal existence that it cannot be disregarded, the annual snake dance of the Hopi Indians, will be held on the Hopi reservation, eighty miles north of Flagstaff, Ariz., some time between now and Sept. 26. A student body which will approach the pre-war enrollment and possibly surpass it is expected at Colorado College when it opens Sept. 24 at Colorado Springs. Frank Gable, director of the Durango round-up, to be held from Sept. 23 to 26 inclusive, is arranging one of the classiest wild west programs ever offered. There will be bull riding, cowgirls' races, running races, goat roping contests, trick roping contests, steer bulldogging, Indian races, cowboys' relay races, bareback riding, cowboys' bucking contest, trick riding, farmers' wagon races, in all twenty events a day and $5,000 to be distributed to the winning contestants during the four-day celebration.

The Nation's Keystone LABOR ARE PATRIOTS ALL ARE PATRIOTS ALL Trade Unionists Have Proved Worthy of High Position They Occupy. When the comparatively few trade unionists of our various communities paraded on Labor day, more than thirty years ago, their motives were questioned in many instances and newspapers gave them scant publicity. Photo by Western Alsterer Hib This year, when the hosts of organized labor, now numbering 3,000,000 members, march, they will be acclaimed by those who formerly even denied their purpose. This changed public opinion has been gradual through constant agitation, education and organization, but it has been quickened the past two years because of organized labor's prompt acceptance of autocracy's challenge against democratic ideals. Organized labor has not depended upon words to prove its patriotism. Its whole-hearted support of the government in the crisis of war should be sufficient answer to any query on this subject. This support was of the kind that befits men and women imbued with our republic's ideals, and who realize that when a government that is founded on these ideals falls the loss is an individual one for every American citizen worthy of the name. Organized labor distinguishes between a government that rests on the whim of one man or a small group of men and a government of, by and for the people. Our 1919 Labor day celebration features this difference between the two systems of government which recently struggled for mastery. The thought behind these systems is older than any nation. In truth, nations are but an incident, but a process, in this struggle of human liberty and advancement versus the ancient theory of government so well illustrated by German junkerdom. Organized labor is not a peace movement. While we long for the day of industrial concord, when disputes between capitalists and laborers will not longer feature our industrial life, we refuse to paralyze our movement by surrendering the right to strike against wrong when other methods fall. Partners In Life's Work. At this time several aspects of the labor question demand consideration. We need to emphasize the meaning and necessity of labor—to show that it is both a law and a means of service. We need to emphasize the difference between productive labor that performs a service and makes wealth, and unproductive labor that wins wealth away from others and lives upon their toll. We need to emphasize the fact that industry is a partnership, and so it demands the participation of all parties as partners in the enterprises. We need to realize that the relations in industry are human relations, and so it is necessary that the relations of men with one another should be just and brotherly relations.—Exchange. LABOR Out of chaos, out of work, I arose and did my work While the ages changed and sped I was toiling for my bread. Underneath my sturdy blows, Forests fell and cities rose, And the hard, reluctant soil Blossomed richly from my toil. Palaces and temples grand Wrought I with my cunning hand. Rich indeed was my reward— Stunted soul, and body scarred With the marks of scourge and rod. I, the tiller of the sod, From the cradle to the grave Shambled through the world—a slave! Crushed and trampled, beaten, cursed. Serving best, but served the worst, Starved and cheated, gouged and spoiled, Still I builted, still I toiled. Undernourished, underpaid In the world myself had made. Up from slavery I rise. Dreams and wonder in my eyes, After brutal ages past, Coming to my own at last. I was slave—but I am free! I was blind—but I can see! I, the builder—I, the maker, I, the calm tradition-breaker, Slave and serf and clod no longer, Know my strength—and who is stronger? I am done with ancient frauds Ancient lies and ancient gods— All the sham is overthrown, I shall take and keep my own, Unimpassioned, unafraid, Master of the World I've made! BERTON BRALEY. LABOR'S RIGHT TO ORGANIZE Acknowledgment Merely Puts Workingman on the Same Plane as the Capitalist. If there is not a right on the part of the workingman to organize, then there ought not to be a right on the part of capital to organize. It is the organization that makes capital strong, and it is not fair, from the legal point of view or any other point of view, to prevent the rest of the men dealing with capital from getting strength with organization that only organization brings. I am for the laboring man. Justice must be done him or there can be no justice in this country. We must all be partners in the game of government and no one man must be allowed to play the part of a hog.—Woodrow Wilson. Mark of Labor's Progress. The solid and gratifying progress of co-operative labor organizations in the United States was fittingly celebrated last year by the dedication of the new central building of the American Federation of Labor in the national capital. The dedication was made by President Wilson, after reviewing the labor parade, and his tribute to the underlying spirit of organization in labor was cheered by men of all types and stations in life. Victory by Consecration. It is the spirit of consecration that has enabled American labor to achieve in every field of endeavor results which a year ago were regarded as impossible. It is this spirit of consecration that enabled the American people—workers and fighters welded into a solid army—to vindicate the freedom of men throughout the world. THE WORLD'S MOST FAVORITE BOOK PASSED ALL TESTS PASSED ALL TESTS Organized Workers of America Properly Proud of Labor Organizations. Labor day, 1919, brings to the workers of America the right to cheer and rings to the work- right to cheer and confidence in the trade-union movement. There have been tests and crises that have proved its fundamental principles; there have been opportunities that have tested its practical efficiency. Through them all the trade-union movement has made sure progress and vision for the fu- confidence in the trade-union movement. There have been tests and crises that have proved its fundamental principles; there have been opportunities that have tested its practical efficiency. Through them all the trade-union movement has made sure progress and vision for the future. Samuel Gompera gained in confident Every national and international, every local union affiliated to the American Federation of Labor, has made definite progress in securing for its members greater advantages in those things which are fundamental of betterment in all relations of life. In some organizations the success has been phenomenal. Taking the labor movement as a whole there has been greater progress in securing the shorter workday than in any other similar period of time. The meaning of these victories can be interpreted only in the light of full understanding of the meaning of the shorter day. The shorter workday is something more than an economic demand. It is a demand for opportunity for rest, recuperation and development; things which make life more than mere mechanical drudgery. ADVANCE MUST BE GENERAL Anarchy in Russia Proves That Labor and Rest of Society Must Go Forward Together. The future of labor lies in stabilizing democracy. In that alone is progress. One of the great problems of peace is to erect an industrial democracy upon the solid foundations of political democracy. That can come if labor is patient and prudent and self-controlled, but it can never be brought about through the application of theories of confiscation or class war. Autocracy has failed, and failed criminally, but the failure of bolshevism is no less complete, even though the consequences have been restricted to a single country. There is no hope for the world in either. The fate of Russia proves that labor must go forward with the rest of society. It cannot advance alone. It cannot take everything and give nothing. If it ever tries, it will wantonly waste most of the substantial fruits of the war. Much Cause for Congratulation. Labor day is always an inspiration to the organized workers of America. Nationally, upon this Labor day, the workers of America have much to congratulate themselves upon. The past four years have resulted in the realization of labor's hopes, long deferred, in the enactment of laws guaranteeing the liberty of the tollers and their right to organize for their protection and advancement upon the economic field. HINES WARNS RAIL STRIKERS HINES WARNS RAIL STRIKERS AIL AND FINE FOR ANY WHO HOLD UP U. S. MAIL SERVICE. MUST RESUME DUTIES NOTICE SERVED ON CALIFORNIA, ARIZONA AND NEVADA BY DIRECTOR GENERAL. Washington, Aug. 20.—Here is warning issued by Director General Hines to rail strikers when he told them to go back to work or he'd fill their places: Any one who interferes with or impedes the possession, use, operation or control of any railroad property, or railroad under federal control, commits an offense against the United States, punishable by fine and imprisonment, and will be arrested and prosecuted. Any one who obstructs or attacks persons assisting or endeavoring to assist in the possession, use, operation or control of any railroad under federal control, will be guilty of the offense described and will be dealt with accordingly. Any one who obstructs or retards the passage of the mail or any vehicle or person carrying the same likewise commits an offense against the United States, punishable by fine and imprisonment, and will be arrested and prosecuted. Washington.—Director General Hines has served notice on "public officers, railroad officers and employés and citizens generally in California, Arizona and Nevada" that the railroad administration would undertake to restore full railroad service in those states and that all striking employés who do not return to work will find their places filled." This action, coming after the announcement by the four brotherhood chiefs that the brotherhoods would assist the Railroad Administration in operating the lines if the illegal strike was not terminated, is the most drastic ever taken by the government in a labor controversy. At the Railroad Administration Director General Hines made public the following: "To public officers, railroad officers and employés, and citizens generally in California, Arizona and Nevada: A strike is in progress on the part of the train and enginemen and yardmen on the steam railroads being operated by the United States governments in parts of California, Arizona and Nevada. This strike began at Los Angeles purely as a sympathetic strike on account of a controversy between the Pacific Electric Railway Company and certain employés of that company. "The property of that company is not in the possession or control of the United States government. The strike of the employes of the steam railroads was entered upon without any grievance being presented or alleged. The strike was and is a violation of the agreements between the striking employes and the steam railroads upon which they worked, and also of the national agreement between the United States Railroad Administration and the chief executives of the organizations to which the strikers belong, such national agreement providing for the adjustment of all causes of complaints in an orderly manner without suspension of work. American Airmen Join Poles. Paris.—The first unit of the American volunteer aviators for the Polish army expects to leave soon to meet the German pilots flying from the Bolshevik army against the Poles. Major Fauntereroy announces the name of the squadron as the Kosciusko escadrille, after the Polish general who fought under Washington in the entire revolutionary campaign. Dump 12,000 Gallons Beer. Chicago.—Four hundred barrels, 12,000 gallons of 2.75 per cent beer, manufactured by the Schlitz Brewing Company of Milwaukee, before war-time prohibition, were dumped into the gutters of a North Side street by Otto R. Fuerst, United States revenue inspector, to enable the company to recover $2,400 in taxes previously paid the government. Eighteen Airplanes Finish Trip. Mineola, N. Y.—Eighteen of the airplanes which left Roosevelt field in the New York-Toronto derby had completed the round trip and were safely back at Roosevelt field. Carnegie Estate $30,000,000 New York.—Having given away more than $350,000,000 during his lifetime, Andrew Carnegie died leaving a fortune of between $25,000,000 and $30,000,000, according to his will. The will disposes of $960,000 to public and charitable institutions, and leaves annuities of approximately $300,000 to friends and relatives, including $10,000 each to former President Taft and Premier Lloyd George of England and $5,000 each to Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt and Mrs. Thomas J.

ANDREW CARNEGIE, LATE STEEL KING, REMEMBERS HAMPTON INSTITUTE. MONG the numerous bequests to institutions in the will of Andrew Carnegie was one of $300,000 to Hampton Institute, one of the schools for people of color in Virginia. Mr. Carnegie, with the original Scotch training, never measured a man by his color, and whenever he had an opportunity to address the colored or white schools and other organizations in this country, he would always mention the opening of the door of opportunity to the dark race, if they are to live in harmony with the white. He gave many benefactions that were not published, and in his great work of providing libraries he gave another proof of what can be accomplished by and through the education of the people. Men like these who help the wage-earner to realize that with thrift, economy and education, some day they can be masters also, never die in the hearts of their fellow-men, as their good works, their advices and suggestions are evidenced in our every-day life as we emulate the good standards set us by them. Many white organizations were also beneficiaries, his household employees, office staff, workmen and relatives, also friends, coming in for large bequests; and giving away more in his life when he could have such an enjoyment by seeing others enjoying his gifts, he was the exception to the rule, and we, like other legatees, are very grateful for the remembrance. Andrew Carnegie has truly left "FOOTPRINTS IN THE SANDS OF TIME." May his soul rest in peace. THE PRESENT UNREST IN OUR COUNTRY WHENEVER a series of events the result of disquietude in a country, among a people, a nation, as we are passing through, present themselves, there will be no exception to the rule with America, as there must be an upheaval, a change of front, a general transformation so as to restore things to normal and their former role. Suppress as we may try to, ignore as some of us are likely to do, optimistic as others may be, the thought is forcing itself on us, that this country must, like others, pay the toll exacted by Time for its misdeeds, whether done to itself or others. The mighty arm of the strong begins to weaken; the oppression of the poor, the dishonest dealing with the masses by the few fortunate ones are beginning to receive their death-warrant; the breach between labor and capital appears to be farther away in its widening process; the possible amelioration of conditions between the races seems to have gotten the death-blow; and now with the increase of crime in every phase, lawlessness greater than ever, the new courage given the mob to victimize people of dark appearance, injustice experinced on every hand, there must be an upheaval sooner or later, and man must be brought to his proper senses, even though he suffers for a long time. We have been asked by labor agitators, peace reformers, followers of Bolshevism, and the various propagandists, "How does the Negro stand, and what position is he taking?" At this time we can only reply: HIS OWN STAND, HIS OWN POSITION. We have been played so often; made to help the other fellow to achieve his objective, gain his standard, reach his goal, only to suffer for such contributions in the end, that we have resolved to put all our energy, suffer the pain and torture for our advancement, for our march in civilization to bring us to a standard where we must be respected, and allow the other fellow to correct and adjust his issues to his own advantage. There should be no guessing, as the present conditions prove that the convenient treatment of our people is really the specific purpose of the white citizen, whether in government, or any other form; and having exhausted our patience, we cannot but endorse THE EQUAL RIGHTS proposition advocated by some of our leading men, before the Foreign Relations Committee in Washington last Thursday, making the demand that must be granted or suffer the penalty that a people in nothing short of bondage in its worst feature (mental slavery) must undergo. Ready to respond to every beck and call, and having responded, we have been deceived again and again; and whether like other races we must become the recipients of the advantages under this government or suffer extermination as a whole for championing our cause to the last man, we are in the game to help ourselves to what humanity likes to enjoy, denouncing the evil with every spark of our manhood until necessity compels or circumstances permit a change. UNREST THERE IS, and the more it exhibits itself, let our thoughts working as rapidly as the firing of a machine gun, adopt the method of mental activity so as to prepare for this new civilization that is dawning on the world, and which must make extinct those who refuse to behold and accept. We ask for bread, they give us a stone; the vision has caught us, let's leave them alone. LABOR DAY. Next Monday, Labor Day, Sept. 1, will find our city and state somewhat puzzled over the outcome of the representations being made by labor the country over for better recognition and unity of labor; (c) demand and rewards for regular and efficient work; (d) necessity for co-operation between workers, and, especially, better understanding between white workers, Negro workers and white employers; and (e) call for improving home and working conditions of Negroes. LABOR DAY. Next Monday, Labor Day, Sept. 1, will find our city and state somewhat puzzled over the outcome of the representations being made by labor the country over for better recognition and increased wages. Our ministers would do well to follow the suggestion of Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economies, in his Labor Day Appeal, which follows: 2. The churches can also assist in finding out who the returning soldiers are, what their employment problems are, and how to help them to secure work, putting them in touch with the various agencies which are actively assisting them. To this end the divisions of the Department of Labor are at the service of all. 1. That a sermon be preached stressing: (a) Lessons which the great war has taught us about the connection between labor and production; (b) dig- Government Should Handle Army Social Work Through a Single Agency Government Should Handle Army Social Work Through a Single Agency By RAYMOND B. FOSDICK, Training Camp Commission Social work in the army in any future emergency should be handled by the government itself through a single nonsectarian agency. J. B. H. It seems to me that the lesson of the war in social work involves perhaps three points: The elimination of sectarian auspices; reduction in the number of agencies employed, and the transfer to the government itself of much of the activity hitherto left to private initiative. After eight months with the troops in France I am convinced that the average woman worker attached to a hut is worth four or five men workers. Certainly her effect on the morale and spirit of the troops is extraordinary. An "Honest to God American Girl," as the soldiers call her, can do more to keep the men cheerful and create an atmosphere of home than any other factor; and the work of our women in France—Y. M. C. A. girls, Salvation Army girls, Red Cross girls, and the representatives of other agencies—has been in no small degree responsible for the unflagging devotion and inexhaustible patience with which our troops carried forward their high enterprise. Our men have been glad to receive what the societies had for them in the shape of service or supplies, and they have not cared two straws whether it came from Protestant, Catholic or Jewish hands. Our boys fought at Chateau Thierry and in the Argonne as Americans. They did not fight as Protestants, Catholics or Jews. As a matter of fact there is no reason for sectarianism. The religious interests of the army are wisely confined to the chaplains. Child Labor Laws and Decisions of the United States Supreme Court By SENATOR W. S. KENYON, of Iowa The Supreme court of the United States killed the law to exclude child labor products from interstate commerce. So congress passed another law to emancipate the child slaves by placing a heavy federal tax on the products of their toil. A federal court in a notorious child-labor state has declared this second law unconstitutional. The Supreme court cannot kill the second child-labor law without reversing its several opinions that the federal government has unquestionable power to tax "without regard to motive." If it should annul the law, however, we have still another recourse. Congress can and will enact a law to bar from the mails all matter concerning the products of children below a given age. Child labor being deemed a menace to the national welfare, congress is clearly performing its duty when it withdraws the postal service from that sort of industry. If the Supreme court should destroy this third hope of ending child labor then we must carry the fight to the people and have them amend the Constitution so specifically that there will be no question about the will of the nation and the right of congress to abolish the evil. How It Comes That Political Bosses Control Public School Systems By JACOB M. LOEB, Chicago Board of Education To build political systems' fortunes upon the school system is trafficking in children's souls. During more than five years of service as school trustee one sees much of school boards, something of the public, and very little if any co-operation between the two. To appoint as school trustees men and women unknown and untried is taking a gambler's chance. To commit the administration of a vast business enterprise to those without experience or training is poor judgment. To confer upon hucksters the responsibility of preparing budgets of expending millions, or negotiating leases, of making real estate transfers, is signal improvidence. The public is divided into three classes: The educated, who keep aloof from public questions; the class that can think but won't, and, thirdly, the class that cannot think for itself and accepts the ready-made judgment of others. The latter class is led by various types—the parlor propagandist, the agitator and the political type and the boss type, more dangerous and controlling than the others. So we have a public a part of which is thoughtful but inactive, a part unthinking and directed by vicious leadership. Constructive Salesmanship Is Largely to Determine Progress of World By GEORGE N. PEEK, Formerly of War Industries Board No real salesman need have any misgivings as to his status after the war. Spurious salesmanship, the black art of commercial demagoguery, which has flourished in America in times past, will be swept away, along with much other debris of an age of ruinous competition; but there will be greater opportunities than ever for the salesman who has thoroughly mastered his profession. The progress of the world for the next several years will be largely determined by the constructive salesman. One might sell a motorcycle to a savage after a bona fide demonstration of what it can do; but if he did not educate the savage first it would be wise not to return to that territory again. It is a crime against civilization to sell anything anywhere, even though the thing be sold at cost or below, if the selling is not accompanied by actual service. The great achievement of the war, next to destroying autocracy, was the elimination of things useless from our industrial life. But this very elimination necessitates the retention of all useful processes. Instead of finding that his job has vanished the constructive salesman should know that the things which have hindered him in the past are being swept away and that the world is inviting him to his greatest possible achievement. --- --- COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

It was deemed necessary that the plans should be made as early as possible so as to enable the committee to get them well under way in time to make the work a success. Letters received from our chairman, Mr. L. H. Lightner, from time to time indicate that he is having a profitable trip through the far Eust. He is ex- pected to return in about ten days. The first Fall meeting of the Com- mittee of Management will be held next Wednesday evening at 7:45 ‘o'clock, It Is hoped that every mem- ber will be present.

Plans are now being made for the beginning of the work of the “Hi-Y" club, which will open shortly after the beginning of the sehool session. The members of the croquet club have begun a tournament to decide the championship of the club for the present season. ‘The contest was be- gun early this week, and up to now about twenty of the thirty-three games have been played. It is altogether too early in the stage of the contest to determine who shall win, We hope [however to be able to publish the re- [port of the singels in the Notes next Week.

The Dearfield colonists will soon be rewarded for their self-denying actions and their sacrificial efforts by perma- nent and extensive advertisement of their progress of a few years.

Persons, especially strangers visiting Denver, would do well to take a trip up at this time and see the won. derful production of the earth under the guidance of the skilled hand of the farmer. .The fare is cheap, there being two entrances to the colony and two branches of the Government railroad— over the Burlington to Wiggins, thence four miles to the colony and over the Union Pacific to Masters, then two miles to the townsite and two miles to the Colony. .Hotel accommodation up- to-date at the town site, and buggy ride through the Colony.

THOMAS PICKS UP British War Museum Official Digs Up Some Interesting Information. NEARLY ALL WEAR AMULETS One Officer Carrying Charm Refuses to Reveal Its Nature for Fear of Bad Luck—Another Carries Piece of Coal. London.—Certain Interesting superstitions prevalent among British colonial troops at the front are described by Edward Lovett, an official of the Imperial War museum at London, in the Morning Post. He says: "Many of the superstitions held by British soldiers are also held by our troops from overseas and by men of the allied forces. One day I happened to meet an Australian soldier who wore the figure 5 on the collar of his tunic. This 5 is known on the continent as the Pentad, and in Belgium the Fifth regiment is considered to be the lucky regiment. The logic of the Pentad is as follows: Figure 1 stands for God, absolutely alone. Figure 2 is the mind of God in operation as shown by the works of nature. Figure 3 represents man as the highest work of God. Taking, therefore, figure 1 as being unique, the figures 2 and 3, that is, God's work in the hands of man, equal 5, and this 5 is said to represent everything. In this country we do not fully appreciate the meaning of the figure 5. Lucky Australian Five. "To come back to our Australian soldier. He told me that he knew nothing of the Pentad, and he was rather inclined to sneer at luck in general. But he told me that his company, which was the Fifth, was very lucky, and day after day the men had many narrow escapes from death or wounds. The company, in fact, had lost only 15 men out of 180, while the Second company had lost a much larger proportion. He also told me that the No. 13 was considered by them a lucky number, and most of the men in the Fifth company, curiously enough, had 13 in their regimental numbers, his own number being 51327 "On one occasion, after lecturing to some men from New Zealand and Australia, I was entertained for the night and put up in an officer's hut. Before turning in I chatted over the subject of folklore and soldiers' muscets with four officers. One of the officers told me that he carried a charm, and I said I would like to know what it was. It turned out to be simply a Swastika, which was apparently new to him, and he was glad to hear more about it. The second officer took from his pocket a small cross of grotesque form, which he informed me, was his muscot. The third officer laughingly added, "Well, I PATROLS READY FOR NE Three-inch field pieces going to the Grande. The military authorities are ready for any new outbreak on the M ST. THOMAS American Port Regains Former Marine Standing. Improvements Slow During the War, but Ships Are Now Calling Regularly. St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.—This American port is beginning to regain some of its former maritime importance. Owing to the war, improvements in this direction have been slow since the Virgin islands were purchased from Denmark, but now, after considerable agitation by business men of St. Thomas, American steamers are beginning to call here. This is the result of representations which have been made to Washington in behalf of the inhabitants of the islands. The islanders feel that American steamship owners, and especially the shipping board at Washington, have --- JEWS IN SERBIA IN BAD PLIGHT need not show you mine, because it is only a piece of coal, wrapped in a little bag which I brought over from Australia." The fourth (and this to my astonishment, being the "highest possible") said, "I also have a mascot, but I regret to say that I don't intend to show it to you. I won't even tell you what it is, because it would spoil my luck." Nothing I could say would induce him to alter his decision. His was the most superstitious case of all. "The commonest charms among the soldiers of France and Belgium are made of aluminum and copper fragments of German shells. It is considered that if you wear a piece of an enemy's projectile it inoculates you against future danger from such sources. In Italy the men wore the kinds of charms and amulets which have been common in that country for many generations—even centuries, I JEWS IN S IN BAI Economic Ruin and Epidemics Have Fallen to Their Lot in Balkans. BULGARIAN OUTLOOK EETTER Investigator Urges Shipments of Food and Clothing to Roumania—Fund of $35,000,000 Being Sought in United States. New York.—Reports of the condition of Jews in the Balkan countries, as made to the American Jewish Relief committee by its investigators abroad show that economic ruin, epidemics of typhus, tuberculosis, and other diseases have fallen to the lot of Balkan Jews to an extent equal to that suffered by their co-religionists in other war-torn countries, but that political and religious repressive measures have been lacking. The first detailed account of the situation in Serbia in many months is from Dr. Isaac Alcalay, chief rabbi of Serbia, with headquarters in Belgrade. He said Belgrade was still without regular communication with the provinces, because the railroads and bridges destroyed by the Austrians have not been restored. "During the war," he wrote, "Jews fr. Belgrade suffered proportionately more than the rest of the population. Most of their habitations were exposed to gunfire throughout the 15 months that the city was under bombardment. Almost all homes are destroyed. The NEW MEXICAN OUTBREAKS International Film Service their station on the border along the Rio taking all necessary precautions to be Mexican border. S PICKS UP heretofore overlooked the facilities of the harbor of St. Thomas for providing coal, fuel oil, and other stores. While few American steamers have been calling at St. Thomas for supplies, many have called at the neighboring British islands, where facilities are not considered as good as here. The price of coal is cheaper at St. Thomas than at the British islands. To bring this matter before the shipping board and to obtain all the help possible from the American people and congress, a meeting of the inhabitants of the Virgin island was held here. Resolutions were adopted calling the attention of the shipping board to the facilities of the port, such as a pier 3,000 feet long with thirty-one feet of water alongside and all up-to-date appliances for the quick dispatch of vessels wanting coal, water, fuel oil and other stores. The resolution was carried to Washington by Darwin O. Curry, collector may say. They consist chiefly of phallic emblems, and may be seen by thousands in the streets and markets of Naples especially. What the Germans Wear. "I have a number of examples of German charms, some of which were taken from German prisoners, while others were collected by myself in Germany about 12 years ago. They are of a character you might expect from such a people, and consist largely of pigs, many of which, I regret to say, are grossly vulgar and offensive. Another German charm is a small model of a fungus, which is of natural blood-red color. This is really a phallic emblem. A third kind is a teetotum, the meaning of which is 'chance.' On the other hand, in the German navy, or what remains of it, they have rather a pretty charm. It consists of a small, cheap medal, bearing the figure of Christ stilling the tempest, with the motto 'Safety in storms.' I gathered from several of my friends that the charms in common use by the Germans were generally small objects, such as I have mentioned, which had been presented to the wearers by their mothers or sisters, but in few cases had the charm any definite logical meaning. Jewish population of the city, formerly 8,000, now numbers no more than 4,500. The number is being increased daily by returning refugees. Many men are still with the colors. "Economically, the Serbian Jews have suffered terribly. Because of the uncertain political situation, all regular commerce is impossible, and it is difficult for Jewish citizens to improve their condition. Have Suffered Terribly. "Such a situation is unfortunate, for the war has brought us new duties. The Jews of old Serbia took a very active part in the Balkan wars and in the world war. The years of fighting have deprived more than 400 families of their bread winners. These people have to be helped. In Bulgaria, according to a report from Miss Hetty Goldman of this city, the condition of the Jews is somewhat better than in Serbia. Poverty is not so widespread, nor are health conditions so bad. "Bulgarian Jews are able to meet the needs of their own poor, but they have recently been confronted with a new responsibility. Roumanian Jews are seeking refuge in Bulgaria, and their Bulgarian co-religionists are at a loss to know what to do with them. There is no work, even for skilled artisans. "A soup kitchen is being run for these people of Sophia, but many are desperate. An allotment from our American Jewish relief fund must be made to care for them." In Roumania there is need of clothing and simple foods. It was Miss Goldman who made the investigation in this country also. Clothing Greatest Need. "The people needed clothing above everything else," her report reads. "Almost everybody is shabby, and a large percentage of the poor are practically without clothing. I went into many homes where the inmates had on mere rags or were huddled in torn blankets of sacking. "The second greatest need is for staple foods, such as dry beans, peas, rice, vegetables, fats and the like. Such supplies as are to be had are sold at exorbitant prices. "I was painfully impressed by the number of sick in Roumania. In Bucharest, out of a Jewish population of 45,000 there was an average of eight funerals a day last winter. A large percentage of typhus cases in Bucharest and Jassy have been among Jews." Machinery for the effective distribution of relief in the Balkan countries is in operation. More than $200,000 worth of supplies, including several tons of kosher meat, was sent from New York late in July to Constanza, Roumania. The American Jewish relief committee, under the chairmanship of Louis Marshall, plans to continue regular shipments of this kind to the Balkans and to Poland, Galicia, Czecho-Slovakia, and the other countries. For this purpose a fund of $35,000,000 is being sought in the United States this year. of customs, who laid it before the shipping board. Mr. Curry has since returned and reports that that board, members of congress, and American business men have promised to do all they can for the island. Another oil depot is being erected here to meet increased demands. The people of St. Thomas believe it possesses far better facilities than most other West India islands, and are determined to make known its availability as a port of call for supplying steamers. Marine Good Walker Richmond, Va.—Ralph Walter Slater ambled over from his home at Mount Tell, W. Va., to Charleston, a distance of 26 miles, to join the marine corps. Having successfully passed the examination he strolled over home—another 26 miles, to tell his folks good-by. Completing his farewell he made his way over the West Virginia mountains back to the recruiting office. In all, Slater walked 78 miles to become a marine. He who is happy is forgetful. NEEDED IN BUSINESS WORLD Urgent Reasons for Transplanting Resturned Soldiers From Army to Civil Life Without Delay. Your cosmopolitan doughboy who has shaken hands with the king of England, danced with the princess of Roumania, learned the slang of a dozen nations and cocked a knowing eye at all the choicest sights of the Continent, may sound extremely sophisticated by cable, but wait until he strikes the United States and see what furrin travel has done for him! It has made him love, not Europe less, but home more, and he hardly tries to conceal his grand passion under a poker face, either. For he has been homesick and weary for months, and the Goddess of Liberty looks like an angel, and New York harbor like heaven, to his fond eyes. As a national asset, then, the soldier is perhaps our best citizen, and because the A. E. F. as a whole is rampantly enthusiastic about its homeland and her interests, America may look to her soldiers for real inspiration in citizenship. These are the men to put into our business life as rapidly as they can be transplanted from army to civil jobs. To make the transposition more simple and effective, the war department through Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war, has set up the wheels of a giant machine, which is working night and day to co-operate with all employment agencies for the sake of the returned soldier who has no job. But more than that, this great employment system operates for the good of America. Colonel Woods and his thousands of assisting committees believe in the doughboy and in his power of real achievement in the future national life of the United States. Fine Memorial to Edith Cavell In a quarry, midway between Bod win and Camelford, on the moors of North Cornwall, England, a memorial is being fashioned out of granite in memory of Nurse Cavell. One of the huge pieces is nearing completion under the guidance of Sir George Frampton, who is giving his services free. This figure represents a woman with arms half upraised, holding a little child on her lap, while underneath, on the base of the monument, is carved a cross. The group is symbolical of the stronger nations protecting the smaller and weaker ones, while the cross is the emblem of mercy. The whole group is carved in the form of a cross, giving special significance to the order to which Nurse Cavell belonged. Another huge block of granite near by has a big lion carved on it, with head erect and mane bristling. Trampled beneath its feet is a serpent, writhing, but defeated. The total weight of the memorial, when finished, will be about 170 tons, with a height of about 40 feet. The group probably will be erected near the British National gallery. Tasting With the Nose. The sensation of taste, while of common and constant experience, is highly complicated in its nature. What is commonly called taste is not a simple sensation at all, but rather a complex. In addition to the actual functioning of the apparatus properly pertaining to the sense of taste, the tongue receives impressions of various other sorts, all of which go to make up this complex. As finally recorded in the consciousness, the taste of any substance has to do with its heat or coolness, perhaps with a mild amount of pain, certainly with astringency or acridity—which are in themselves further complexes of thermic and tactile sensations—and above all with smell. The reader will probably agree that ice cream and coffee are entirely different from their true selves when served at inappropriate temperatures; and it is a matter of record that a person of the keenest taste may make the most ludicrous errors if asked, blindfolded and with his nose stopped to identify substances placed in his mouth. Eamed Best of Noted Men The Diamond bar, famous for nearly 50 years as a part of the old Auzerais house, of San Jose, Cal., is being fitted up for a grocery store. The Auzerais house, on West Santa Clara street, housed five presidents of the United States and was for a time the abode of a king. It was built in 1863, according to John E. Auzerais of San Jose, and the barroom was the meeting place for many of the men whose names have been written into the history of California. President Grant was entertained at a banquet in the Auzerais house in 1879. The following spring King Kalaua of Hawaii was a guest, and in September of the same year President Hayes delivered an address from the balcony. President Harrison was a guest in 1891 and both McKinley and Roosevelt visited the famous old hotel on their tours of the United States. Her Part The physician had diagnosed the young woman's case and was compounding for her a bottle of medicine. He put two or three drugs into the bottle and then took up a jar of pepsin. The jar was almost empty and there was not enough pepsin to finish filling the patient's bottle. The physician looked around for another jar. He didn't find one, however. For a minute he was frankly perplexed, and then came sudden relief. He turned to the faucet and finished filling the bottle with water. "Oh," the young woman's voice was very cool, "you needn't have done that I can put in the water myself." WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Universal Military and Vocational Training Bill WASHINGTON.—Identical universal military training bills have been introduced in congress by Senator Chamberlain, Democrat, in the senate and by Representative Kahn of California, Republican, in the house, as the result part of the military work and for naval as well as military training. "As the debates with reference to the peace treaty proceed in the various countries I am more convinced that our safety as a nation will depend on our having a thoroughly trained force of young men who can join the colors without delay," Mr. Kahn said. "I am convinced that the passage of such a measure will give us a race of rugged Americans who will be able to defend their country's rights at any time those rights may be attacked." The Kahn-Chamberlain bill directs that all male citizens of the United States shall upon the age of eighteen, or within two years thereafter, be subject to military or naval service for training purposes and shall be inducted into the army or navy and serve for a training period of six months and such further time as may be necessary for enrollment, mobilization, and demobilization. During the training period each man shall receive pay at the rate of $5 a month, besides transportation, clothing, laundry, shelter, subsistence, and all necessary medical and dental attention.

At that time a loan-shark law went into effect which cut down the interest rate that might be charged in the District from 3 per cent to 1 per cent a month. This law killed the pawnbusiness in the capital. With the reduced rate of interest the pawnbrokers could not make a profit. Most of them went out of business entirely, while a few located across the Potomac river in Virginia, within a ten-minute trolley ride of Washington. Now the authorities of the District favor the return of the "hock" shops. Especially is this true of the police department. One reason for this is the fact that regulated pawnbshops are helpful in detecting thefts.

Two Billion Dollars Bonus for Fighting Soldiers Two Billion Dollars Bonus for Fighting Soldiers BILL to authorize the treasury department to issue bonds in the sum of $2,000,000,000 for the purpose of providing additional pay for officers and enlisted men in the army, navy and marine corps has been introduced in the house by Representative Royal John- son of South Dakota the rate of $30 additional for each month of service between those dates. No person who has served less than two months is to be given the benefit of the measure, and it is provided that no payment shall be less than $240 regardless of length of service. Soldiers, marines or nurses who were actually under fire in any battle against Germany are to receive an additional payment of $100 each. It is further provided that the persons who served in a clerical capacity whose compensation exceeded $60 a month are not to be given any additional allowance under the act. When the bonds are issued the payments may be made in bonds if the recipients so desire. One effect of this distribution of extra pay and bonuses—it may or may not have occurred to Mr. Johnson—would be the establishment of records of service under fire.

DESSERTS COMPOSED LARGELY OF FRUIT ARE QUICKLY MADE AND ARE APPETIZING A woman is preparing a basket of fruits and vegetables. When in Doubt as to What a Hot Weather Appetite Craves, Serve Fruit. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) With fresh fruit in plenty the housekeeper's problem of what to serve for dessert should not prove difficult. She can take a vacation from dessert making and at the same time serve her family with delicious, refreshing desserts. Make the most of the fresh fruit while it is in season. All ripe fruits contain sugar and by using it the craving for sweets can be satisfied without using much cane sugar. The family will be better off without rich desserts for a time. to remove the fuzz, and cook whole without removing the stones. Add a little water and cook until the peaches are somewhat tender. Split, add one tablespoonful of corn sirup and bake in the oven, or add one teaspoonful of sugar for each half peach. Baked Apples. Whole apples with the cores removed may be cooked in the same way. The hole left after the core has been removed may be filled with raisins and nuts if desired. Snow Pudding. This dessert is very attractive for What better dessert is needed than a slice of cold watermelon or a half of a delicious cantaloupe? It is mere custom that makes people feel that a bowl of fresh fruit—pears, peaches or plums—are not as good served in their native state for dinner as they are for breakfast. A return to simpler desserts would be of advantage both from a dietetic and economic standpoint. But, a voice protests, "we grow tired of fresh fruit day after day." For the person who wishes a change from fresh fruit, the following desserts may please. They are easily made and as easily digested—two good points during the hot season. They may be used to alternate with the dessert of uncooked fruit. Baked Pears. Select firm pears, halve and remove the seeds. Put in a baking pan with a little water, cover and simmer over a low flame until partially tender. Add one tablespoonful of corn sirup or one teaspoonful of sugar to each pear half, and transfer the dish to the oven, allowing the pears to bake slowly until tender. A piece of ginger root may be cooked with the pears in the sirup if the flavor is desired. Pears baked in this way, cooked down until the sirup is very thick, are delicious served with a cornstarch mold. This may be sweetened with sirup also. Baked Peaches. Select firm peaches, wash carefully WAR TAUGHT PEOPLE TO PRACTICE THRIFT National Wealth Is Divided Among Us All. Essential as a Guarantee That We Shall Remain Prosperous, Progressive, Independent and Dependable as a Nation. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Household thrift helped win the war. It will fortify the peace, making America powerful, its people prosperous and its homes happy. Thrift is steady earning, wise spending, sane saving, careful investing and the avoidance of all waste. What the members of one family produce in outside industry and in the home adds to the national product or "wealth heap" of food, clothing and all desirable goods; this national wealth heap is divided among us all, and out of it every, family, each one of us gets his living. What one home wastes is taken away from the nation's wealth and makes all homes that much poorer. The war taught us to practice thrift together in food, in clothing, and in all goods, in order to serve America and save the world. Our country asks continued thrift in the home as a guarantee that we shall remain a prosperous, progressive, independent and dependable nation. By thrift every household can take its part gladly in every government lean; by investing in government securities it can safeguard its future and increase its income so as to fulfill the American ideal of personal independence and constant progress toward better living. Thrift is a permanent service which the household can render to the nation. Dye Scrim Curtains.

UTILIZING MILK FOR SOUPS Left-Over Portions of Vegetables and Other Foods May Be Made Into Nourishing Food. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A large variety of soups may be made by utilizing not only milk but also left-over portions of vegetables and other foods. In making them allow from one-half to one level tablespoonful of flour to each cupful of liquid (including milk and the juice and pulp of vegetables) and one level tablespoonful of butter or other fat. Some of the flavors which may be used are onions, corn, asparagus, cabbage, cauliflower, peas, beans, tomatoes, salmon or other fish, celery, spinach or grated cheese. These soups are nourishing and oftentimes a child not fond of milk can be persuaded to get down to the daily quart necessary for his health by having part of it made into a milk soup.

TREATY CONFLICT HAS A PRECEDENT GRANT'S DESIRE TO ANNEX SANTO DOMINGO BROUGHT ON A SIMILAR CONTEST. Bitter Struggle in the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations Was Brought to an End by Sort of Compromise. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—In the corridors of the capitol and on the streets of Washington today one frequently hears that nothing like the present conflict between the administration and the senate on the subject of a treaty ever occurred before in the history of the country. However there is nothing new under the sun, as the wise one said. When one chooses to dig a little into the records, or even into the history of events with which men are supposed to be familiar, he generally finds a parallel to a present case, no matter what that case may be. The people for some time have been witnessing a conflict of opinion and of effort between the president and the senate committee on foreign relations on the subject of a treaty, a conflict which has had a good many dramatic features. Has anything of this kind happened before? Yes, and not so long ago but that men still living remember the circumstances. In fact, there have been several such controversies, one or two of them in recent years, but the most marked case probably is one which had its scene and setting in the first administration of President Ulysses S. Grant. General Grant desired to annex Santo Domingo to the United States. He believed that a treaty of annexation readily could be entered into with that country which has been known as the Black Republic. He branched his plans and the matter, of course, went to the senate committee on foreign relations, of which Charles Sumner of Massachusetts, a Republican, as Grant was a Republican, was chairman. At that time there was no question of difference of party or of party feeling between the chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and the president of the United States. Moreover, the senate itself substantially was Republican in its majority. Sumner Fought the Treaty. There was an internal row on in San Domingo, as frequently has been the case in that land. The American administration was sympathetic with the ruling aspirations of one Baez who claimed to be the rightful president of the San Domingo Republic. The treaty was drawn up with Baez and with annexation as its object, and it went before the committee on foreign relations of the senate for consideration and for action. Charles Sumner, chairman of the committee, was just as antagonistic to the treaty looking to the annexation of San Domingo as Senator Lodge, chairman of the committee today, is to some of the features of the treaty of peace and covenant of the League of Nations. The interchanges between Sumner and the administration were sharper than some of those which are passing back and forth today. The Republican party in the senate was split on the matter on which the administration's heart was set. Sumner reported adversely on behalf of the committee on foreign relations on the San Domingo trenty, and then the trouble in the senate broke loose. Carl Schurz at that time was a senator of the United States and a member of the foreign relations committee. With several other Republican senators he backed Sumner, while Roscoe Conkling and other Republican senators stood by the administration. San Domingo Fight Bitter. Unlike proceedings of the present time, the San Domingo treaty matter was discussed in executive session. Today the League of Nations is under discussion in the open senate. From reports, supposedly truthful, of what was said in the executive sessions during the Grant-Sumner controversy, it seems likely that there was more bitterness displayed in that elder day than is the case at present. The controversy resulted in a sort of a compromise. Congress appointed a commission to look into the San Domingo matter, and to make a report thereon, but Sumner carried his point when he secured an amendment to the resolution authorizing the appointment of a committee, to the effect that nothing in the resolution should be construed, even in spirit, as committing the United States to a favorable position on the treaty. Of course it is not necessary to say that the treaty did not go through, for people know that San Domingo never was annexed to the United States. The antagonism between Grant and Sumner aroused by the treaty matter, added to others which came later, led to a complete breach. Republicans Uncertain on Program. There is no use attempting to disguise the fact that there has been uncertainty in the Republican majority of the house as to what form certain legislative endeavors should take. It seems likely that during the recess, if the house gets one, these matters will be thrashed out by the leaders and that when the house comes together The KITCHEN CABINET Marmalades may be prepared from various kinds of fruit. The apple is perhaps the best known. A conserve which is a marmalade of mixtures of fruit is always an addition to any menu. Here are a few worth keeping and handing down: Orange Marmalade. Take one dozen oranges. peel very thin and remove the white inner rind. Chop the rind very fine, or put through the meat grinder; also grind the pulp. To a pint of pulp and rind add one and one-quarter pints of water; boil twenty minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand twenty-four hours, then measure and add one and one-quarter quarts of sugar to one quart of pulp. Boil an hour and a half, or until the fruit is thick. Amber Marmalade.—Take one each of large grapefruit, orange and lemon, wash and wipe and cut fine, shred the peeling in thin strips, discarding the seeds. Add three and a half quarts of cold water and let stand over night. The next day cook until the peel is very tender and again set aside over night. The next day add five pounds of sugar and cook until the sirup is thick. Store as jelly. Golden Marmalade.—This is a marmalade which takes the place of the more expensive orange marmalade and is very tasty and wholesome. Scrape and put through a meat chopper one and one-half pounds of carrots, two lemons and the same measure of sugar. Cook the carrots in as little water as possible, add the lemons, also ground (removing the seeds). When well cooked, add the sugar and cook until thick, stirring carefully to keep the mixture from burning. Put in glasses as any other marmalade. Tomato Conserve.—Take four quarts of ripe, fine tomatoes; add four pounds of sugar, six large lemons and one cupful of raisins. Prepare as usual and cook until thick. Seal in glasses. A delicious way of serving beets, the tender young ones, is to cook them until tender; then chop and return to the fire, pour over a well-seasoned French dressing and serve as a vegetable. Creamed Eggs With Sardines.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter, add one-fourth of a cupful of bread crumbs and a cupful of thin cream, bring to the boiling point, then add two hard-cooked eggs finely chopped, a half a box of sardines freed from the skin and bones, and salt, pepper and paprika to taste. Bring again to the boiling point and serve at once. Drop Cookies.—Cream one-fourth of a cupful of shortening, add one-third of a cupful of ginger sirup and half a cupful of strained honey with one egg slightly beaten. Mix and sift two and three-fourths cupfuls of flour with two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar, one teaspoonful of soda and half a teaspoonful of salt. Add to the first mixture, beat well, drop from the tip of a teaspoon onto a buttered sheet and bake in a moderate oven. Spanish Ragout.—In a deep cassole put some fat or oil, slice a few onions and add a clove or two of garlic, a little mace, salt and pepper, brown well then lay on top of these vegetables a pig's liver with very little water, just enough to keep from burning. Cover and cook two hours. The liver will shrink and absorb most of the contents of the pan. When cold it slices nicely. Newport Pound Cake.—Cream seven-eights of a cupful of butter, add one and a half cupfuls of flour gradually, and a teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat the yolks of five eggs until thick and lemon-colored and add one and a half cupfuls of powdered sugar gradually. Combine the mixtures, add the whites of the eggs beaten stiff and sift over one teaspoonful of baking powder. Beat thoroughly, turn into a deep buttered cake pan and bake one hour in a moderate oven. Mustard Pickles.—To a gallon of vinegar add one-half cupful of mustard, one cupful of salt and two cupfuls of brown sugar. Drop in the pickles as they are gathered; cover with horseradish leaves. Be sure to put in store for winter a few quarts of cherries prepared as follows: Wash the Berries unstemmed and place in a fruit jar; half fill the jar with good vinegar and fill with cold water, add a teaspoonful of salt to a quart and seal as usual. They make a delicious pickle to serve in the place of olives. Nellie Maxwell again there will be a fixed program of procedure in behalf of the majority. The Democratic minority in the house would be by no means idle during a recess. Its leaders and certain ranking members of the minorities in the committees would remain in Washington to outline their own procedure when the Democrats must meet the legislative issues which the Republicans will present. It seems altogether likely that the greater part of the prime legislation which the Republicans of the house will enact will not be put forward for action until the session which begins the first week in December. In the meantime preparations will be made for the winter procedure. The present session is an extraordinary session, but it is a session of the Sixty-sixth congress and therefore anything which is enacted at this extraordinary session by the house will survive for action by the senate and sanction or veto by the president until the Sixty-sixth congress comes to an end in March, 1921. Probable Republican Plans. The Republican majority still is in doubt in the matter of action on the tariff. It seems likely, however, that such tariff legislation as there is to be will be so framed as virtually to insure its acceptance by the senate and its probable acceptance by the president. There was a marked desire on the part of some of the Republicans to put through what is called an old-fashioned Republican tariff bill, and to let the president veto it, and then go to the country again in a presidential campaign with a Republican tariff outlined in legislative form as an issue. This plan probably will not be followed, but the issue will be made on such a tariff bill as the Republicans expect to enact when they get control of the White House. If they do get such control as a result of the next election. It seems likely that some of the committees on investigations which have been in progress looking into this matter and that matter will, so to speak, take a recess with the house if it has one. It is said that some of the leaders are not entirely satisfied with the manner in which some of the investigations have been carried on. It is only right to say that this has met with denial in many places, but there have been more than inklings of dissatisfaction with some of the methods employed. Democrats Will Resist. The Democrats have been studying the situations as they have developed in the house since President Wilson called congress together in extra session. Many of the Democrats do not believe that the covenant of the League of Nations is to be the overshadowing issue in the next presidential campaign. They desire a constructive program of resistance to such legislation as the Republicans may attempt to put through, provided the minority party believes it to be a program which is not acceptable to the people. It goes, of course, without saying that each party looks at legislation with entirely different eyes and that each party judges of the viewpoint of the people from its own viewpoint. Legislation, so far as the approval of the people is concerned, is something of a lottery and the members of the two parties have to do some guessing. Congress wanted to get together in extraordinary session and it was glad when the president issued a call, but it is just as eager to get away and there is a reason beyond the natural one of a desire to rest. The weather has been hot, hot, hot, and hot weather in Washington is irritating as it is elsewhere. The tempers of the members of congress were not altogether angelic during the latter part of June and the whole of July. Neighborhood Gossip. Mary Elizabeth is five years old and likes to visit the neighbors more than her mother approves. After calling her home from next door one evening, mother inquired: "Mary, what was Miss —— asking you?" "Why she wanted to know if I had any relation and I said yes. I had two grandmothers, one Aunt Minnie, Uncle Teddie, two little cousins, the collie and my Uncle Sam." "Why, Mary, you told a story. The collie is only a dog and you have no Uncle Sam." "Well, mother, maybe collie isn't my relation, but Uncle Sam is. Why he's everybody's uncle." Never the Same Again. Friendship is a vase which, when it is flawed by heat or violence, or accident, may as well be broken at once; it can never be trusted after. The more graceful and ornamental it was, the more clearly do we discern the hopelessness of restoring it to its former state. Coarse stones, if they be fractured, may be cemented again; precious ones, never—Walter S. Louden. Natural Cloth In tropical South America the inner bark of a species of tree yields an excellent cloth, the fibers of which are interwoven much as if the fabric came from a loom. All that is necessary is to wash and beat out the cellular stuff from the interstices and, when dried, it is light, flexible and altogether suitable for making up into garments. Women Doctors. It was in 1874 that the London School of Medicine for Women was founded. This was the first of its class. Shortly afterward women were allowed to take the medical degree of the Universities of Dublin, London and Durham. But it has been in more recent years that the fair sex in large numbers have ventured to practice. The men who are not satisfied Are they who set the pace— The men who do not meet defeat With calm, contented face. The men who labor on and on With minds and fingers skilled— They are the great unsatisfied Who plan and fight and build. MANY MARMALADES. is may be prepared from s of fruit. The apple is perhaps the best known. A conserve which is a marmalade of mixtures of fruit is always an addition to any menu. Here are a few worth keeping and handling down: Orange Marmalade. Take one dozen oranges, half a dozen lemons. Four seeds I drop in every hill; One for the worm to harm, One for the frost to kill, And two for the barn. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS.

NEW HATS FOR AUTUMN WEAR UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD This New Bonnet Is as Gay and Charming as the Month of Flowers, With Tender Pink and White Buds. The Hat Is a Creation of Pink Georgette and Dancing Blue Ostrich Feathers That Curl and Cling to the Unusual Shape. Information That May Lead to Prospective Buyer Making a Wise Decision. Information That May Lead to Prospective Buyer Making a Wise Decision. TAM KEEPS ITS POPULARITY Feather Trimming Is Employed on Model That Almost Every Woman Can Wear With Good Effect—Some Effective Turbans. What can stimulate interest in fashion at this season of the year like a little glimpse at new hats? For hats are always interesting and hats are the first new thing a woman buys at the beginning of a new season. In fact, we buy new hats regardless of seasons and wear them, too, without consideration for their fitness for a particular season; straw hats in January, velvet in July. And there are velvet hats and others, advanced models to excite your curiosity, stimulate your interest and help you to decide your first new autumn style. And my! what a good effect a new hat has upon the average woman, both from the material aspect of a pleasing appearance and the less tangible but nevertheless definite aspect of mental stimulus, of renewed interest in life in general, common's Edith M. Burtis in the Philadelphia Ledger. Sometimes, as is usually the case with children, a woman treads life's path more gaily when she puts on new shoes, but more generally it is a new hat that helps over a period of mental depression, of world weariness, of disinterest, for hats don't hurt and new shoes do, more's the pity. Let me depart from the subject in hand, new hats, just long enough to This New Bonnet Is as Gay and Ch Tender Pink and White Buds. The H Dancing Blue Ostrich Feathers That ask why do so many girls foolishly buy shoes just a little too tight? Many Ills From Tight Shoes. This practice does not improve the appearance of the feet; rather is the effect deteriorating and the discomfort one suffers often distorts the face, always mars the poise and the walk and prevents the absolute attention to the conversation of a companion, the giving of the entire interest to the pleasure at hand that makes folks say: "There is an attractive and likable girl," the opinion of friends and acquaintances that establishes a girl as a favorite. There is never a season when some form of the graceful and generally becoming tam is not in vogue and this will be the case this season as in all others. There is one style especially attractive, a between-seasons tam on new lines and interestingly developed, of taffeta and soutache braid in two colors, to say nothing of an effective feature trimming that lends the last note of smart fashion to this time-established model. One excellent quality of the tam shapes is that almost every woman can wear one, all young girls can and most women of more mature years, provided they select the right model. Strikingly unusual is a hat of velvet with trimming of glycerin ostrich in a sort of shower effect over the upturned brim. This may seem an extreme model, not so much in shape as in this arrangement of a popular trimming. And while not every woman can wear this hat or want to, nevertheless it portrays a certain new and interesting feature of autumn millinery that you should be glad to note. Ostrich Tip Trimming. Quite the reverse from the extreme fashion standpoint, yet nevertheless smart, despite its conservative tone, is the becoming turban of rich brocade, velvet and tiny ostrich tips, artistically combined. This hat illustrates still another use of ostrich, the regulation small curled tips. Not so new a treatment of ostrich but always a pleasing and satisfactory one, especially if one takes advantage of the modern process of shower proofing that insures the beauty of the feather against all moisture whether a fog or rain. If you are not familiar with this very commendable innovation in apparel insurance ask your milliner about it or the shop where you buy feathers for the hat you trim yourself. And here let me digress once more for a moment to register the suggestion that a technical knowledge of millinery is well worth the time and the small price it will cost a girl or woman to acquire this knowledge. Very smart and modish is a trim, close-fitting shape of velvet effectively trimmed with uncurled ostrich, and this hat is still another evidence attesting to the fashion value of ostrich as an autumn trimming of smart hats. Another new autumn hat, like most of the new models, is of velvet, turned up sharply in the front and trimmed only with a rich cluster of silk flowers and foliage. It is an excellent model for first choice in the development of your autumn wardrobe, for it can be worn now—right now—and that's what most of us want to do with new thugs—put them on and enjoy them immediately. A costume that has been much admired is a simple, dignified dinner gown of charmeuse, with underskirt, of contrasting color, simply trimmed with ribbon in two widths and colors, modeled after the beautiful lines of the early Greek costume. This is the sort of gown that is not dependent upon any whim of fashion for its acceptance. It is the kind of gown that can be worn until it is worn out, and this is a feature that appeals to many women not entirely from the standpoint of economy, but because many of us must be well acquainted with our clothes arming as the Month of Flowers, With that Is a Creation of Pink Georgette and Curl and Cling to the Unusual Shape. before we are quite comfortable with them. Like old acquaintances, we must feel that our clothes wear well, and not from the standpoint of actual wearing service, but from that of presenting us in the best possible light, or helping us appear at our best. BLOUSES IN WIDE VARIETY Wash Fabrics Figure Prominently Among Materials Employed—Pendant Decorations Highly Favored. The shops are really alluring in their display of overblouses in fabrics and styles suitable for summer wear. It is perhaps an interesting thing that wash fabrics have been made to serve so admirably for these blouses—for there was a time when it seemed that only chiffon and georgette and soft crepe would do for them. But now linen, organdle, batiste, ratine—lots of ratine, too, which is another of those interesting evidences of a return to favor of a fabric or style that has seemingly gone by—all these and other summer fabrics, heavy, homespun, crushlike-looking things, are used for the overblouse. One thing that marks many of the blouses is little tassels and hanging buttons and fringe. There are all sorts of these pendant decorations, from sleeve ends and hems and just hanging down from any other part of the blouse itself. Frocks for Morning. Lovely little frocks for morning wear at a summer hotel, or afternoon wear at home are of tinted dotted Swiss with cuffs, collars and hemmed sash of white lawn or Swiss embroidery. One of these dainty frocks in lavender has a tucked skirt, elbow sleeves and surplice bodice. The white embroidery collar is in shawl shape, crossing with the surplice fronts, and the deep cuffs are tied with coquettish bows of lawender ribbon. The Fisher Caught By LINCOLN ROTHBLUM In the parlance of matchmaking mothers Victor Lawton was a "catch" worth angling for—all the more desirable since he exhibited no inclination to be caught. Divers were the schemes mothers of daughters, ready to consider a "career," invenved to entice the wary fish into the matrimonial net. For indeed Victor Lawton was a most desirable specimen of prospective husband. He was tall, but not too tall to seem towering with a short companion. He was stocky, but by no means fleshy. He was of good family, but came from neither blue blood nor yellow. He was a lawyer of sound reputation and good business acumen, while the definiteness of his income from a few select clients compensated for their lack of number. And that he had personality is attested when the fellows dubbed him "a bully chap" and the girls—well, the girls thought him "too handsome for anything." "And so," Mrs. Van Dusen, leader of the town's upper set, complimented herself, "I have done well to squeeze from his good-looking lips a promise to be present at your debut tonight. The rest, my darling daughter, is up to you." And she extended her hand toward a pretty and sophisticated thing of twenty in an "I've done my share" manner. "My name isn't Cecile Van Dusen," came the reply with a rolling of big, hazel-colored eyes in the prescribed fashion commonly known as "vamping." So saying she tripped across the soft rug on tiptoe and imparted a slight smack on her mother's cheek, making a pretty application of powder. "I hope so," answered the elder woman in a tone that did not reflect her daughter's confident assertion; "but we must keep Madge out of the way as much as we can." "Your fault again," chided Cecile, who, modern-like, never lost an opportunity to censure her mother. "When we thought she was going to get married a month ago you shouldn't have refused—though we didn't know who it was." "Hush, Cecile," chided Mrs. Van Dusen gazing quickly at the door to see if they had been overheard. "I promised your father when he died to care for the child of his first wife. And I shall do my duty." "However painful it may be," finished Cecile, "only as relieved by the appropriation of her inheritance." Mrs. Van Dusen cast an appeal for silence as Cecile laughed out loud. "Bad thing to have a conscience, mother," she stated, wagging her head emphatically, "but if I catch Victor Lawton on my line," she added, materializing the hope by the execution of a dizzy prouette, "I'll—why, I'll let you come and visit us sometimes." Mrs. Van Dusen took the seat before a low dressing table and gazed at herself from the triple-reflecting mirror. A new wrinkle near her lips brought another to her forehead. "I'm afraid we may have to take Lawton into our confidence. As he was a war friend of Mr. Van Dusen he might be willing to quietly straighten out our financial tangle. I have not managed as well as—" And further confidences were drowned in the buzz of preparation. Such a bustle and hurry as the Van Dusen household saw! Such a scurrying around and multiplicity of orders! The telephone never ceased with instructions to caterer, florist and musicians. The doorbell sounded one continual alarm as delivery after delivery was made of mysterious bags and boxes of endless size and shape, whisked away to various rooms as rapidly as they came. The great grandfather clock in the hall had scarcely chimed nine as Mrs. Van Dusen, resplendent in an evening gown of black satin, brocaded with giant figures of black jet, descended the stairway to take her stand near the entrance. Cecile followed, her during costume of garnet-tinted volle, hooped with bands of similar toned velvet, setting off strikingly white shoulders, exquisite as chiseled marble. The stream of guests commenced to flow and kept up a steady inflow until the huge house threatened to become inundated with the flood of people. Mrs. Van Dusen had already begun to feel a pain in her right arm similar to writer's cramp, but, undaunted, she held her post until she heard the butter's stentorian voice: "Mr. Lawton." All the social training Mrs. Van Dusen's mother had instilled in her and all that she had in turn transmitted to her daughter was brought into play, and it would have required a far more worldly wise young man than Victor Lawton to have penetrated the thoughts behind the hostess' engaging smile. To Cecile he offered his arm, and they passed into the drawing room, the center of which had been cleared for dancing, and to the strains of a soft, mystic melody emanating from a stringed orchestra cleverly concealed behind some palms they circled the smooth floor. With her own purpose and her mother's entangling financiering in mind, Cecile shortly complained of the close atmosphere and led the way into a tiny alceo which had formed done service as desk space for her mother until night thieves had broken in and stolen valuables locked in the escritoire, their presence unde ected owing to the seclusion of the corner, Cecile had chosen the location wisely. "And as you make your entrance into society," ventured Lawton by way of conversation, "I had hardly anticipated how charming a debutante you would make." Cecile smiled. Womanlike she liked compliments to be paid her, and never sought the motive prompting them. But his remark was her opportunity "Oh, I have other worries besides my coming-out." Lawton laughed. "Yes I have," she reiterated, "for now I must get married." And in the sophistication of her twenty years Cecile modestly dropped her eyes; knowing how lovely her long inshes appeared resting on her cheeks. Lawton shuffled his feet unsteady and ran his finger around the inside of his collar. Cecile was sitting perilously close. "Weil, why not?" he ventured. Cecile pretended to be taken by surprise. "Oh, I could never find anyone who could understand." "What is there to understand?" questioned Lawton, nervously, glancing at his watch without seeing the time. Cecile was anticipating her enjoyment as she rehearsed for her mother how cleverly she had managed—not only to win Lawton, but secure his assistance in unraveling their financial knots. "Oh, money 'n everything," she answered in a whisper, trying to convey her trust and confidence. "Money? How so?" "We haven't all the income we seem to have." Lawton switched around to face the girl squarely. "Your half-sister—can't she contribute from her inheritance?" Cecilia fidgeted. "There's the trouble," she answered in a lighter vein, to appear as if the matter were a light one. "Mother has been borrowing from Madge's inheritance, and—well, we thought you might help to straighten out the tangle." "So—borrowing from an inheritance, eh? What's the deficit?" "Practically everything." "Thank you." Mr. Lawton arose with an air of finality. "We needed this bit of evidence to abrogate your stepfather's will." Mrs. Van Dusen, having intuitively sensed danger in her daughter's prolonged absence from the center of festivities, swept into the scene, her features puckered with reckless disregard for wrinkles. "What's the meaning of this?" she demanded, having caught the tail end of his words. "By a secret codicil to your husband's will," he informed her, "the estate reverts to his daughter, Madge, if her inheritance is misused by her trustee." Mrs. Van Dusen sank limply onto the diyan. "But what—what have you to do with all that?" "Only this: Madge and I were married a month ago." As in a dream Mrs. Van Dusen heard Cecile murmur, "The fisher caught!" DANGER IN LETTER WRITING Abundant Proof That One Should Be Careful About Committing His Thoughts to Paper. The first woman letter writer on record was Queen Jezebel, wife of Ahab, and she used her pen for the purpose of deception. The story is told in I Kings 5:10. When Ahab was mourning because he could not obtain Naboth's vineyard by fair means, Jezebel conceived of foul ones. "So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth." They suggested a plot which resulted in the death of Naboth by stoning. An earlier letter mentioned in the Bible was written by a man and was equally detestable. When we remember the contents and the purpose of David's letter to Jonah, how it did for Uriah what Jezebel did for Naboth, and from a worse motive, we could have wished of this too that it had never been preserved. The writing of letters has proved to be disastrous to more than one man, and they have brought downfall to many. Every one should be careful of what they write. Good letters, like good thoughts, bring back good things. "Bought His Time" From Father. Hon. Francis E. Warren, the wealthy senator from Wyoming, in speaking of his boyhood recently, said: "My father was only twenty years older than myself. His gage was work, physical work, and if he ever boasted of me it was about my strength. He had 'bought his time' of his father, he had often said, and I in turn bought mine of him. 'What will you take,' I one day asked, 'to let me go and work for someone else?' 'That would be selling you seven years,' he answered. 'I owe,' and he mentioned the name of a neighbor, 'eighty-five dollars for a yoke of oxen. If you will pay that debt you may have your freedom. But if you leave home you are not to return unless you are sick, and if you do return, even for a day, you will have to work.'" Dearborn—Got back from New York, have you? Wabash—Yes, and glad to get back. "How did you find things there?" "Fearfully crowded. Couldn't get a room in a hotel for love or money." "Why, where did you sleep?"
