LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS GREETS LIBERIA'S PRESIDENT-ELECT PRESIDENT JERNIGAN AND BISHOP ROSS EXTEND WEL COME IN NAME OF 12,000,000 NEGRO AMERICANS— UNITED STATES PROTECTORATE WANTED FOR GERMAN-AFRICAN COLONIES. VOL. XXV. NATIONAL RACE CON LIBERIA PRESIDENT JERNIGAN AND COME IN NAME OF 12,000 UNITED STATES PROTE GERMAN-AFRIC (Special to The Colorado Statesman.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.—Wednesday afternoon a delegation representing the National Race Congress of America was cordially received at the Hotel Lafayette by President-elect C. D. B. King, of the Republic of Liberia, who is here on a special government mission and for observation and recuperation, following a long period of diplomatic service in Paris at the Peace Conference. The visiting party was made up of Rev. W. H. Jernigan, president of the National Race Congress; Bishop I. N. Ross, of the A. M. E. Church; Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Rev. H. J. Callis, Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, Rev. W. A. Taylor, Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the Emergency Defense Fund of the Congress; Rev. J. H. Randolph, Rev. J. L. S. Holoman, J. Finley Wilson and R. W. Thompson. Each was introduced to Mr. King by Dr. Jernigan. An address welcoming the president-elect to this country in the name of the National Race Congress of America and on behalf of the 12,000,000 colored citizens of the American Republic, was delivered by Bishop Ross, who was followed in similar vein by Dr. Waldron, Dr. Brooks, Dr. Callis and Professor Hawkins. They pledged the support of the colored people of the land to any plan that might be devised, looking to the uplift and development of their "Sister Republic" in far-off Africa, regarding Liberia as the "open door" through which the new world may enter the inner life of the "Dark Continent" and bring the leaven of a higher civilization. They were proud of Liberia's wonderful progress as a recognized government, and "loved it next to their own country, because of its oneness with them in blood, religion and language." President-elect King, of pleasing personality and modest dignity, responded graciously and thanked the visitors for their assurance of sympathetic interest. He was gratified to note that all America seemed to be awakening to the vast possibilities bound up in the future of Liberia. This new and forward-looking country, keenly alive to the value of every type of education and equipment, extends a welcome to enterprising young men who possess qualities for leadership and to others who are masters of the technical and scientific arts. Following the speaking the entire party was photographed on the hotel lawn by A. N. Scurlock. President-elect King has been received at the White House and the State Department and has been highly honored by many representative colored citizens here. He will be one of the principal speakers at the "Suffrage Session" of the National Race Congress, which will open in this city October 7th, with delegates from every state in the union and with commission to voice the sentiments of the Negro people of every land. American Protectorate Wanted for German African Colonies. President Jernigan, of the Race Congress, recently appeared before the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and made a most eloquent and effective plea for justice for all the darker peoples of the world and emphasized the importance of having an American protectorate established over the African colonies wrested from the tyranny of the German empire. His speech was a "keynote." This and other problems of vital concern to the Negro will be fully discussed at the coming meeting of the National Race Congress of America, set for October 7th to 11th, at the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Liberal contributions are being received from many sources for the $250,000 Emergency Defense Fund, in charge of Prof. John R. Hawkins, designed to protect the welfare of the race wherever such protection is urgently needed. CONFESSES SHE LIED ABOUT COLORED MEN. Tells Police Story was Pure Fabrica tion Washington, D. C., Sept. 3.—Thursday, August 14, Mrs. Minnie Franklin, white, told the police that she had been attacked and criminally assaulted by two young Negroes about twenty-two years of age in a secluded spot near the carnival grounds, this city. Weeping and hysterical, she was taken to a near-by hospital. She was questioned by the authorities and finally confessed that her story was a pure fabrication. In the meanwhile the police were searching for "two young Negroes, wearing white shirts," according to the description given by Mrs. Franklin of her alleged assailants, but had taken none into custody. Upon her admission that she had lied, the police department dropped the case. Mrs. Franklin resides at 1361 K street, S. E. What her motive could have been in putting out this damaging story, which might have led to serious results, must be a matter of conjecture. SOUTHERN DELEGATES VOTE NEGRO IN UNIONS. Ashville, N. C., Sept. 4.—Following protests entered by many of the extreme Southern delegates, the Southern delegates, the Southern labor congress in session here expected to pass by unanimous vote their resolution to admit the Negro laborer into the union in a good brother craftsman. The resolution introduced by J. L. Shaver, of Salisbury, N. C., is to the effect that Negroes will be organized, wherever possible, and when they have large numbers in separate unions, but to be taken in with the whites when the colored men are small in numbers. SOUTHERN WHITE MEN WITH FACES BLACKED IN BANK BOBBERY. South Carrotton, Ky., Sept. 3. Three white men disguised as Negroes by blacking their faces, held up the cashier of the Citizens' Bank here today and escaped with $23,000 in government bonds and $8,000 in currency, after wounding City Marshal Maek Ashby. Ashby was hit in an exchange of shots with the burglars, but his wound is slight. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1919 LIEUT. COL. ROOSEVELT STRONG LY DEFENDS AMERICAN When Lieut Col. Theodore Roosevelt addressed an audience of 10,000 people at the city Auditorium last Tuesday evening on behalf of the American Legion, the newly formed Association for the men who saw service in the late Worlds War, reminiscences the most interesting and impressive of his father's life-work for American ideals and the preservation of American institutions were beautifully portrayed in the speaker's emphatic declaration for a sane constructive liberalism for the American people. In presenting the cause of the American Legion, the Colonel informed his hearers that the work of the men who saw service did not end with the war, and the Legion was formed with the idea of putting something into the government instead of taking out of it. "At the present time when grave, problems are confronting the nation" said the speaker, "the men who served in war should be banded together so that they could express their opinions on broad national policies which would be to the best interests of the country." Colonel Roosevelt boldly defended the Constitution of America and denounced fearlessly all opponents who refused to carry out its provisions in giving a square deal to the American irrespective of race creed, or class who would not make sacrifices for his country, who would not die for its cause. Continuing the Colonel said, "the Legion was organized to preserve three patriotic impulses caused by the war—Democracy, Service and Americanism. It has declared itself on the subject of deportation of alien slackers. A man who won't die for his country tary policy of this country than the should not be allowed to live off it." "Who," said the Colonel, "is more competent to give opinions on the military policy of this country than the American Legion, and there are many questions of public policy on which they must take a stand? The Legion should use its influence to uphold law. Rioting is Rioting, and until order is restored there is no time for discussing the rights and wrongs of a question." After taking a firm stand for peaceful, harmonious, good government, the Colonel denounced all forms of lawlessness and mob rule, and said that the originators of such should be treated as criminals and nothing less, whether they are Bolshevists, I. W. W. or anything else. The fact having been established that the American Legion is not a political organization, is purely American, and that it has no more to do with parties, races or creeds now than when its members formed the greatest brotherhood of sacrifice and service in the history of mankind, we sincerely hope that our men who are part and parcel of this great nation, and who shared in this Democratization but yesterday, will not allow this opportunity to pass by, but get in the Colorado quota of 9,438 men out of the 40,870 the state sent to war. The drive for membership for the organization is 1,000,000, and already there are over 400,000. We live in the same country, speak the same language, never have been accredited as slackers, therefore in the call for members to join of 100 per cent Americanism, let the American of dark appearance do his part thereby proving the principles of right and justice underlying this organization of which there is no greater, broader or more Democatic in its scope. ENGLISHMAN ON LAKE STEAMER TURNS DOWN JIM CROW SCHEME. Cleveland, O., Sept. 3.—An American may do it, but an Englishman refuses to do it—discriminate because of color on a lake steamer. And it all happened last week here in Cleveland—supposedly one of the most free cities in the country. Three teachers in our public schools—most estimable and cultured women, applied for tickets for the excursion to Duluth. When it was discovered that they were colored, which was not apparent to the boat official when they procured their tickets, an attempt was made to frustrate their going. The American steamship official claimed that there was a duplication in tickets, and as the boat would have to pass into or through British waters between here and Duluth, the British would object to colored people as passengers. One of the ladies immediately went to the English representative, who said there was nothing to it; that the English government would offer no objection whatever to Colored passengers on boats plying between Cleveland and Duluth, or between any other ports. An attorney, to whom the young woman referred the case, called on the American official of the steamship line, and he camouflaged his intention to frustrate the ladies sailing, with the "duplication' of tickets. The attorney then asked him if it were customary for the company to issue "duplication." This very much incensed the American agent. Not being able, through the "duplication" excuse, or by getting the British representative to acquiesce in an attempt at race discrimination on a lake boat sailing for Duluth, the three school teachers finally got fixed up, and sailed Friday night for Duluth. DEMAND FOR PRAYER LEADS TO MURDER. Meridian, Miss., Sept. 5.—Demanding his wife to kneel and say her prayers before he took her life. Richard Walker fell victim to his own plot when he turned his head to take a look out of the window. While Mrs. Fannie Walker was praying in obedience to her husband's wishes, who stood over her with a shotgun patiently awaiting the finish, she gained possession of a revolver which Walker had placed on the chair near her, and sent six bullets into his body. Walker fell to the floor and died within a few minutes. Quarrel Started Trouble. The couple had been quarreling all during the day last Thursday, and Mrs. Walker declared that by nightfall she would leave the place. Brooding over her threat, Walker decided to end the matter by the use of his shotgun. He drove the woman into the house and ordered her to say her prayers before he administered the bullets. The tragedy occurred near Jackson Springs, a few miles from this place. Mrs. Walker was exonerated by the coroner's jury. ERECTING $45,000 THEATRE. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 5.—J. E. Williams, 1453 Clifton avenue, and J. A. Jackson, both Columbus business men, are erecting a $45,000 theatre building near Garfield avenue. The theatre will seat 500 people and there will be six office rooms and two store rooms. It is being constructed of wire cut brick and terra cotta and is expected to be the finest building of the kind west of Chicago. Mesrs. Williams and Jackson expect to have the theatre open by Thanksgiving day. NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN TO LOWER HIGH COST OF LIVING THE nations thrift army, six million strong, has been enlisted to fight in nation-wide campaign to lower the high cost of living. William Mathor Lewis, director of the savings division of the Treasury Department has called upon all of the members of the 160,000 War Savings Societies throughout the country to aid in the drive to bring down prices. The savers of the nation, Mr. Lewis pointed out, are already at work carrying out the "work and save" plan urged by Governor W. P. G. Harding of the Federal Reserve Board, as the real solution of the problem of high prices. At recent conferences among New England thrift workers, it was suggested that the thrift organization machinery be put to work on the cost of living problem, and the thrift workers are now working hand in hand with the revived Food Administrations in the various states, in some cases acting as local representatives of the food authorities. Thrift workers through their savings societies will extend full co-operation to the Food Administration officials of the Department of Justice and to state and municipal authorities working on the cost of living problem. "Every sound analysis of the present price situation," said Mr. Lewis, "leads back to confirmation of Governor Harding's decision that no solution of high living costs can be reached until the country shakes off its present spending intoxication and settles down to demanding the receipt of a dollar's worth of food or material, measured by the labor or effort required to obtain that dollar. "One great trouble is that millions of persons are not spending from their earnings, but from their savings of the past two years. "Liberty Bonds and other securities accumulated by the most worthy patriotic sacrifice during the war, are being cashed at a loss to purchase luxuries at prices exorbitant even for luxuries." The people have themselves to blame if prices of necessities have followed the prices of luxuries up, when merchants observed the absolute carelessness with which people have parted with their money. We read without particular surprise, because of numerous similar instances, of a farmer buying out the entire stock of expensive haberdashery in the store where he was previously accustomed to drive hard bargains for necessities. "It is absolutely necessary, as Governor Harding has pointed out, to work regularly and efficiently in order to produce and distribute the largest possible volume of commodities and to exercise reasonable economies in order that money, goods and services may be devoted primarily to the liquidation of debt and to the satisfaction of the demand for necessities, rather than indulgence of desires for luxuries." "Along these lines lies unbounded opportunity for national service by War Savings societies and their members. Enrolled in the societies are more than six million people, close to the very heart of American industrial life. It is in their power to increase the flow of production through the arteries of industry. It is in their power to check waste not only amongst NO.47. themselves and those dependent on them, but amongst all in the communities in which they live. They can do this through precept and example, by wise buying and by treating what they buy with respect due to the hours of labor its purchase cost them. "It lies in their power through regular and consistent saving and safe and conservative investment in such securities as War Savings Stamps and Savings Certificates, to add to the capital necessary for industrial expansion and increased production. "The time for patriotic service is now. The cost of living has presented a crisis affecting the nation and its people no less than armed strife. Governor Harding in his recent statement said: 'The war is over—in a military sense—and while the bills have been settled by loans to the government, these obligations, so far as they are carried by the banks, must be absorbed before the war chapter of the financial history of the country can be closed.' "The savings division of the Treasury Department appeals therefore, that the savings societies and their members re-enlist in this campaign. They can show the people of America where, how and when and what to buy. They can teach how and when to save. They can assure a larger part of our national effort to production of necessities. They can aid to bring about increased employment and can prevent the lowering of the general standard of living of America. In so doing, they will perform a patriotic service to themselves, their industries, the communities and the nation." CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS. Rev. C. O.

Wrightley harvested 150 bushels of fine plums from a young orchard of 900 trees, which just came into the stage of heavy bearing this year. The fruit is fully as large and uniform in quality as that grown in the irrigated orchards of the Loveland and Fort Collins districts. Mr. William Rathmell, deputy assessor of Ouray county, has completed the assessment roll for 1919. The total valuation $4,957,115 as compared with $5,645,764 in 1918. The difference is principally made by the tax reductions made on the Camp Bird Limited Company, whose valuation was $400 an acre last year and $21 this year because it is a nonproducing property. Work has been started at La Jara on the main drainage ditch of the San Luis Valley Drainage district No. 1, which includes 10,000 acres south and east of La Jara that wa since very fertile land, but, through heavy irrigation on the higher land surrounding, had become too wet for the successful growing of ordinary crops. A $10,000 purification plant will be installed next month by the Brookside Water Company to supply the consumers of Ivywild, an exclusive suburb of Colorado Springs. The plant will be built in North Cheyenne caffion park, a portion of the playground having been sold to the company by local park authorities. A two and a half inch rainfall, followed by a cloudburst and over-flow of two reservoirs caused the Evans and Greeley districts to be swept with the worst flood which has occurred there since 1909. The total damage is estimated from $50,000 to $75,000. Lightning killed seventy-three sheep and two goats that had taken shelter under trees near timberline in the Arapahoe national forest on the Williams Fork river, fifty miles southeast from Kremmling. Dan Supin was instantly killed in the Calmet coal mine near Durango, his skull being crushed by a mass of coal estimated to weight two tons, which fell when the vein was undermined. Widows and children of the eighteen miners killed by the explosion in the Oakview mine, near La Veta, have filed compensation claims totaling $40,000 with the State Industrial Commission. The men were insured by the Employers' Mutual Insurance Company by reason of the state compensation insurance requirements, members of the Industrial Board said. Four cars of radium and vanadium ore have been seized at Silverton by the federal government because they belonged to an enemy alien, Selfried Lels of Hamburg, Germany. B. F. Cobb of Denver, the inspector in the United States Allen Property Custodian department, says that the ore is not high grade, but it will give the government thousands of dollars. The 1919 issue of the Colorado Year Book, prepared and published by the State Immigration Bureau, is completed and is now being distributed. It is the second book of its kind published by the state of Colorado and is conceded to be the most complete volume of general information regarding state resources and development published by any state. More than 19 per cent of the area of Colorado is unclassified as to its ownership, this being principally homestead land that has been filed upon and not yet patented, government land that has been entered as mineral claims but not patented, and state land sold but not yet paid for. Some idea of the immense size of Colorado may be gathered from the fact five of its county seats are more than 400 miles by rail from Denver, the capitol city, and one county seat, Cortez, is more than 500 miles from Denver. GOVERNOR COOLIDGE HEADS STATE FORCES IN BOSTON TROUBLE. WILL TEST THE UNIONS WILL TEST THE UNIONS MACHINE GUNS ARE MOUNTED AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS BY TROOPS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Boston, Sept. 12.—The Sixth and seventh deaths growing out of strike disturbances occurred when Richard D. Reemts, a striking policeman who was shot, succumbed to his wounds and Robert Lallie, who was shot, died at a hospital. About fifty persons are being treated in hospitals for injuries received in riots. Mayor Peters, in a statement last night pledged his "loyal, earnest and complete support" to the governor. With Governor Coolidge as commander-in-chief of the state's forces in complete charge of the situation, the city took on a warlike appearance. Six machine guns were mounted at police headquarters and troopers, wearing 'tin hats," by order by Adjunt General Stevens patrolled the streets. The order followed injury of several soldiers by flying missiles. Meanwhile shopkeepers, supplementing police and military protection by means of their own, barricaded the windows of their places of business to withstand a siege. Boards were nailed in front of the glass to protect it from the assault of bands of hoodlums who have been roaming the streets. A fight to the finish between the constituted authorities of state and city and the labor unions was indicated by developments in the policemen's strike. While Governor Coolidge was exercising his authority as commander-in-chief of the state forces to take complete command of the measures for protection of the city, Mayor Peters was making it plain to labor leaders who visited city hall that the policemen's union would not be recognized. The labor men were firm in their insistence that the police be permitted to affiliate with the American Federation of Labor, and offered to guarantee that the police never would be called out on a sympathetic strike. The possibility of a strike of carmen, telephone and electrical workers and industrial employés was serious. What gave the authorities the greatest cause for anxiety, however, was the danger that the firemen might join in the movement. It was recognized that this would place the city in the gravest peril. A ray of hope was seen in the declaration of the president of the Firemen's union that he would not take the responsibilty for a strike unless authorized by the American Federation of Labor. Miners Murdered at Tomboy. Telluride, Colo.—Four miners, Gus Danielson, 30; Eric Smith, 25; Fred Sund, 20, and Celeste Mattive, 40, were shot to death by two masked men at the Montana workings of the Tomboy mine here. Joe Kochever, another miner, was wounded in the knee as the murderers fled from the mine and escaped. Officials believe the murders may have resulted from a feud between the murderers and the dead men. Kills Father and Hired Man. Boulder.—Ole Flinde killed a dog his son Oran brought home to the ranch twelve miles northeast of Boulder. Oran shot and killed his father and the hired man, William Fulmer, 43. The 20-year-old boy was taken to Boulder by the sheriff. "No one has a right to kill a dog," he told the sheriff. "I like dogs, don't you?" "Fulmer and dad threatened to run me off the place," he said. Aviator Falls to Death. Dunkirk, N. Y.—Harold M. Brunner of Erie, Po., an aviator, was killed while giving an exhibition flight at Chautauqua county fair. A wing of his airplane appeared to collapse when he was 400 feet in the air. Ten thousand persons saw the accident. Pershing Will Get Sword. Washington.—The House passed a special resolution setting 2 p. m., Sept. 18, as the time for the joint session of Congress to receive General Pershing. A sword of honor will be presented. Hurry Treaty, Says Wilson. Helena, Mont.—In his addresses in Montana President Wilson asked that the peace treaty be ratified without delay so that the spirit of universal unrest spreading may be quieted. Saying he had been told the West was pervaded by "what is called radicalism," the President declared the only way to keep men from agitating against grievances was to remove the grievances. As long as "things are wrong," he said, he did not intend to ask that men stop agitating. The WARD AUCTION COMPANY Sales Daily at 2 p.m. Office Furniture a Specialty.

BLADENSBURG IS CLOSE BY Scene of Militia's Defeat by Invading British and Famous Dueling Ground —Fort Stevens, Braddock's Stone and Arlington Are Interesting. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington. — Some residents of Washington do not know Washington or its environs. Scores of temporary residents here also do not know Washington and its environs. It is left for the casual visitor, the sight-seer, to learn of this town and all that it and its neighborhood hold of historic interest. It is a safe wager that there are many senators and representatives now sitting under the dome of the capitol who never have visited Mount Vernon, the residence and the place of burial of George Washington. Washington has hundreds of visitors at all seasons, people who have come here to see the places of interest, and who in advance have prepared lists of the things which they feel that they must see. These visitors do the thing as thoroughly as it can be done within the time which they allot for their stay. There are men and women, and even children, living in distant parts of the country who know more about Washington than do some of its residents, temporary and permanent. Bladensburg Is Historic. Close to the city of Washington there is a place called Bladensburg. In many stories of the political and warlike events in which the city of Washington figures, Bladensburg looms large. It was there that the unorganized militia of the United States was met and overrun by the British troops in their advance on Washington, at the time they captured the city and burned the capitol and the White House. Bladensburg is a historic place for other reasons. It was a great dueling ground in the old days when men were bent on settling disputes on what they called the field of honor. It was to Bladensburg that Stephen Decatur went in the gray of the morning one hundred years ago to meet in personal pistol combat Commodore Barron of the United States navy. On the field of Bladensburg the great sailor, Stephen Decatur, fell mortally wounded by a bullet from his adversary's weapon. The Decatur house, built and occupied by the sailor, still stands in the city of Washington. Out Seventh street way and well within the city are the remains of Fort Stevens. When the Confederate general, Early, threatened the city from the northeast, troops were hurriedly brought to the city and Fort Stevens was manned. After a smart skirmish the Confederates retreated. Abraham Lincoln, then president of the United States, went out to Fort Stevens to witness the fight. He stood exposed for some time to the Confederate fire. Fort Stevens and its historic interest seem nearly forgotten today, except by the men and women who come here from a distance to see Washington. Where Braddock Landed. Probably not many persons in Washington, lawmakers, office holders or residents, know that General Braddock landed his forces from barges on the Potomac at a point well within the present limits of the city, and from there marched on his unfortunate campaign into western Pennsylvania, accompanied by the young surveyor soldier, George Washington. The place where Braddock landed is known as Braddock's Rock, and its location is well defined on the maps and in the histories. Arlington, the home of the Custises and later of Robert E. Lee, is now a great national cemetery. Arlington, to be sure, is in Virginia, but it is within ten minutes' ride of the city of Washington. The view down the Potomac from Washington is unsurpassed for beauty. Thousands upon thousands of the nation's dead lie buried under the great trees. The old colonial mansion of the Custises and the Lees still stands. In it Robert E. Lee was married to Miss Custis, and it was there, in later years, that he decided to cast his lot with the Confederacy. Arlington is more or less neglected by the temporary and permanent residents of the city of Washington, but the visitors from a distance go to the beautiful place in thousands at all seasons of burial of George Washington. First U. S. Army Plane Decade Ago. Major General Menoher, head of the air service, sent a telegram to Orville Wright the other day, the occasion being the tenth anniversary of the delivery of the first airplane to the government of the United States. The telegram read as follows: "The congratulations of the air service are extended to you on the tenth anniversary of the delivery of the first airplane to the government of the United States, first in the world to acquire a dynamic aircraft. The air service appreciates to the full the ever-increasing debt owed by mankind to the Wright brothers, whose fore-sight, indefatigable research and practical application have aided world progress through the invention of a new means of communication." new means of communication. It was about a decade ago that the United States government, with one of the Wright brothers on the scene, made its preliminary test of airplanes in this city before adopting them for the service of the United States. To the Wright brothers General Menoher has given the credit for the development of the airplane to the standards of practical use. The Wrights themselves, however, always gave credit to the pilots in the field. Work of the Pioneers. In the Smithsonian Institution in this city is a tablet to the memory of Samuel Pierpont Langley, who completed the first heavier-than-air machine which actually flew. Not long ago scientists came to Washington from all over the country to pay tribute to the memory of this scientist, Langley, who through the years withstood the jibes and the jeers of men who called him a crank and worse because he was convinced that one day men would fly. Langley kept at his work, and today he is acknowledged as having been the first man to make a heavier-than-air machine actually fly Twenty years ago and more there lived in Chicago an engineer named Octave Chanute, a man of French extraction, who also firmly believed that one day man would fly and would not need lighter-than-air apparatus to enable him to do so. It was Octave Chanute who developed the plane idea. It is known that the Wright brothers, as youths, were pupils of Chanute, and that they witnessed some of his experiments. Octave Chanute was a pioneer in research; Langley was a pioneer in preliminary accomplishment, and the Wright brothers were the accomplishers. The entire development of the airplane has occupied only about a score of years. In Europe Lilienthal and others were experimenting, their work in a measure following the lines of those of Chanute, who was in correspondence with his European colleagues in the experimental field. Relief in the Embassies. In the embassies of the allied nations in Washington there are signs of relief and something as near approaching happiness as ambassadorial faces are allowed to show. Victory for the armies of the United States and of the allies and its rejuvenating effect on everybody in the embassies from the ambassador down to the messenger boys. What wonder? For years there was stress, anxiety and labors unto midnight in all of the embassies. Men wore themselves down to what people like to call a frazzle in the hard work of "keeping up with the situation." The heart anxieties were deep—deeper, of course, before the United States entered into the war than they were afterward, but deep always up to the signing of the armistice in November last. Prior to the entrance of the United States into the war the German and Austrian ambassadors were engaged in propaganda work, trying to keep sympathy for the Germans alive in the United States, and trying also to cripple the industries of this country so that they could not produce along lawful lines. The embassies of the allies were not supplied with funds even for proper propaganda work, except in small measure, and it is understood that the French embassy had no funds for this purpose. The work of the allied embassies in trying to offset the German propaganda was difficult because of this lack of funds and because the United States was networked with a system of German espionage. President Wilson, immediately after our entry into the war, made public the results of investigations into the German violations of the neutrality of the United States, and of their attempts at destruction of our industries. Jusserand Is Reluvenated. The other afternoon I spent an hour or two at the French embassy, talking with Ambassador Jusserand who had just returned to this country. Like other representatives of the allied powers he is a different man today to what he was a year ago. A burden heavier than lead seems to have lifted from his shoulders. He is buoyant and hopeful for the future. He always was hopeful, for that matter, even in the darkest days, but now he seems like a man who rejoices that something besides war can claim his attention. Ambassador Jusserand is a writer of note among the writers of the world. He told me how the French appreciated the unfailing humor and wit of the American soldiers. He went to France with President Wilson and returned with him, and consequently was in his home country for about six months. He said that he was talking to a French general now in command of the forces in Paris but who last summer was in command of an army at the front, and was told by the general that one day when an American force had been in continuous action for a long time, and it seemed necessary that it should be relieved, he telephoned an American brigadier general that he might withdraw his forces for a rest. "The brigadier general," said Ambassador Jusserand, "told me that the American general in reply to the permission to withdraw for a rest, said: It will be impossible to withdraw for several hours, because I have 25,000 German shell here which the Huns left behind and of course being an honest man I want to return them to them. We are sending them back to them out of our of 75's just as fast as we can.'" Language is simply a medium for concealing thought—Talleyrand.

A two-story brick structure at Albany, N. Y., with fixtures, bricks and everything, was carried away by thieves. That tooth was certainly annoying. Miss C—, the primary room teacher of the A— school, put her finger into her mouth to discover the cause of this annoyance. Olie, a bright faced little pupil, noting the act suddenly asked: "Teacher, how old are you?" Choosing to ignore his impertinence she made no answer. He was not to be daunted, however. With an expression of scorn he said: "I know you're over twenty, and just think! still sucking your finger." A young Jeweler of Hillsboro, N.

Nothing pleases an employer more than to find that employees have been useful and helpful in doing things that they were not told to do. It shows the spirit of initiative; it indicates the ambition to get on, a willingness to pay the price.

AUTUMN is here again! Beginning with September, our change in weather conditions is a forcible reminder that our outdoor pleasures, our sports and pastimes of gay summer are at an end, but an ending that begins in our indoor amusements which take us to the concert halls, lecture rooms, theaters, etc. This week we were blessed with beautiful showers, purifying the atmosphere and preparing our health for the fall and winter seasons. Nor is this all, as on wending our way to the department for the preservation of fruits we can see the shelves in our homes replete with a variety of delicacies; and this year especially we have made a resolution not to be crippled and hampered by the agents of PROFIT, MORE PROFIT in their increase of our food prices. Then a look at the windows of our stores causes the eye to feast on the latest creations in the world of American fashion, and the prices being moderate will result in many pocketbooks and purse strings being opened and loosened so that their possessors will don the autumn garb which lends such a finishing touch to the physical beauty of our women and the appearance of our men. The season this is, also, for our BARGAIN SALES, when the stores must make room for the accommodation of new stock, and therefore to get rid of many items prices are marked down, which give a chance to those of limited means. Then comes preparation for the chilly blast of the succeeding season—the firms of fuel and feed giving us the warning of securing our full supply in time, as in consultation with the weather man, they have no assurance nor are given anything definite as to an insurance against impassable roads, blocked streets, etc. We trust, therefore, everyone will take heed during Autumn so that the usual suffering and inconvenience attendant with our cold season will be alleviated and 1919-20 find us all on the more fortunate side this time than heretofore. HOW TO BE MADE PROFITABLE. We can profit by the foregoing actions of the nations in the past war in our social, religious, financial and political avenues—Socially—by having a better knowledge of the race at home and abroad; by entertaining the highest respect for one another, the utter denouncement of crime, cultivating a taste of admiration for deserving members who must be universally recognized. Religiously—by putting a stop to our denominational wragglings, respecting one another for being possessed of religion, starting from the same source and aiming at the same goal, and leaving the Creator of the Universe to decide as to our fitness to share His promised rewards. Financially—by combining our interests, however small, and entering the hall of business with our united front, passing through the aisles of competition, acquire that business experience that will make us be favorably considered by the monetary agents that actually appear to dominate our very existence owing to the compulsory methods that they prescribe for us. Politically—by taking an active part in the politics of the country of which we are citizens, realizing that the time has come when we must help ourselves in unmistakably declaring our rights and privileges as Americans, pure and simple, with no other qualification than that provided by the Constitution of the United States of America. That among our race must be raised up political students who, unlike the corrupt and selfish politician, will be proud of being members of this democracy, by not yielding to influences that will remove the very foundation stones of the nation, but like fearless Oklahoma of color, undaunted by evil dissuasion, will spend the last dollar, empty the brain cells, drain the blood vessels in the hall of justice to justify our cause and win for us that respect and attention which only the FRANCHISE can command. THE REV. I. GARLAND PENN ON THE NEW DAY. speaker, and in his entreaty to the youth to qualify so as to be grounded rooted in preparation for the service which will demand competent men and women he offered a graphic description of the Reconstruction Period which is dawning on the world, and in which America must play a great part. His suggestions, advices and warnings to parents and guardians to the youths and all lovers of our race and sympathisers of our program for the forward movement were deeply impressed on his auditors and many expressions of gratitude were evidenced from the hearty greetings and congratulations offered this leader, who rejoices at the privilege afforded him to become an eye-witness to the development and improvement of his people. We need more visits of such characters to inspire us, and we trust that another opportunity will be offered Denver to hear the Rev. I. Garland Penn again. If even inspiration was given to lay hold of the opportunities that are presenting themselves to a people, to a race, to push on to the goal in spite of adverse conditions, circumstances and even death, it was in the remarks of the Rev. I. Garland Penn, Secretary of the Freedmen's society at Scott M. E. Church last Sunday morning. A worthy successor to the late M. C. B. Mason, one of the greatest characters of our people, this man of learning in as plain a manner as could be grasped by a child, went into the various ordeals of trials and sufferings that we have undergone and are still undergoing, but held out the ray of hope in the wonderful progress and achievements we are making and acquiring, and after citing several cases and giving certain illustrations of the cordial relationship and the treatment being offered by the better element of the other side, he proved the word's of the Psalmist were very appropriate to our cause at the present time and under existing condition. "The Lord hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad."

"The Differences Are Superficial and the Resemblance Is Profound" By H. A. L. FISHER, British Minister for Education Great Britain and the United States are now linked together, and I for one believe that the union between the great English-speaking races is to be an enduring union. It will not require any written or formal text to cement it, as it is founded upon the possession not only of a common language and a common civilization but on an outlook upon life which is common, much as we may be tempted at times to insist upon trivial and superficial differences. I have traveled in America myself, and the more I saw of the great republic the more I was convinced that the differences were super- Great Britain and the United States are now linked together, and I for one believe that the union between the great English-speaking races is to be an enduring union. It will not require any written or formal text to cement it, as it is founded upon the possession not only of a common language and a common civilization but on an outlook upon life which is common, much as we may be tempted at times to insist upon trivial and superficial differences. I have traveled in America myself, and the more I saw of the great republic the more I was convinced that the differences were superficial and the resemblance profound. But I feel that it is of the greatest importance that from time to time learned men from America should come here to show us how we look in the mirror of American public opinion, what errors we have committed and how we may retrieve them, because it is only by such a process of instruction that we shall really arrive at that complete popular and mutual understanding which is the truest basis of political life. Educate the Public to the Necessity for Game Protective Legislation By JOHN B. BUKNHAM, American Game Protective Ass'n Almost everywhere except in North America the food shortage has caused appalling inroads on the game supply. Aside from the northern portion of North America the picture is one of nearly universal gloom, but here, I am glad to say, conditions are much brighter. Next to the advance of civilization the chief factor that has reduced our game is the market hunter. Almost everywhere we have put an end to the commercialism of game, with the result that game is on the increase. The low water mark in many places has been passed. We have the laws and the machinery for putting them into effect. From my viewpoint we now need better enforcement of existing laws rather than additional restrictions, which are only exasperating to good sportsmen. Where the law is not thoroughly enforced you and I know that such restrictions penalize the best class only and that the others do as they please. Closed seasons are worse than useless unless they are enforced and the vermin kept down. In the United States antelope and mountain sheep have been exterminated under long closed seasons. In this instance it is true there should have been closed seasons, but they should have been enforced. It would be much better to lose the game without law than to lose both the game and respect for law at the same time. Don't spring your law, no matter how good, until you are prepared to put teeth in it. Better err on the side of too great liberality than err in the other way. Educate the public to see the necessity for protective legislation. The great mass of testimony proves that paper laws play into the hands of the Huns of sport. Great Conflict of the Future Will Be Between England and America By GENERAL VON BERNHARDI, German War Writer The next great conflict will be between America and England. I am not saying that with the idea to create distrust between those two powers, but I am stating it as a student of wars. The same clashes of interests, a similar rivalry on the sea and in trade to that which prevailed between England and Germany and made it possible to foresee the coming of that conflict, point inexorably to a struggle between what are now the two greatest powers in the world. How soon it will come or what form it will take I am not prepared to venture an opinion. It may not be even the first war to come, but it will be the great conflict of the future. The league of nations will not prevent wars on issues and principles vital to a country and a people. It is a question of might and power. The domination of such a league will rest with the greatest number of guns and rifles and other resources potential or active. Its future, if it has a future, will depend on just how long England and America can agree in their control of the league; in other words, how long, with their clashing interests, they will get along together. The league is an Anglo-Saxon affair and will last only as long as there is Anglo-Saxon unity. "War, Promoting Hasty Marriages, Has Increased Domestic Tragedies" By JUDGE JACOB H. HOPKINS, Chicago The term just closed—1918 and 1919—will go down in the records of the courts as the biggest year in the divorce history of Chicago and Cook county, Illinois. It will no doubt be remembered by every one of 12,440 disappointed wives and divorced husbands. A total of 6,220 decrees was granted during the year. The war, liquor and a seemingly increasing belief in free love are to be blamed for the unusual number of ruined romances. The war, which promoted hasty marriages, has greatly increased the number of domestic tragedies. War weddings in seven cases out of ten proved failures. The young brides were afraid of those strange men they married two years ago. And some of the men, not knowing a woman's heart, came back as intimate husbands, when they should have wooed their wives all over again. A great cause of unhappiness in married life is liquor. The next few months will see a great decrease in divorce. Then, with the newspapers constantly telling of men being found with "other women," people have come to believe that it is almost legitimate. An extremely high percentage of broken homes is shattered by free love. ```markdown ``` THE 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.

Most beautiful indeed was the reception and shower given in honor of our own Miss Mary Lucille Polk, who goes this week to Wilberforce University. Credit for this grand affair is entitled to Mesdames J. L. Burnett and Ethel Mallard, and though the weather was unfavorable, some came in automobiles, while other friends sent their tokens of esteem for this most respected young lady. Miss Polk declares she is going to make good, "Oh, so good," and is profuse in her thanks to Mrs. Burnett and Mrs. Mallard and the many friends who remembered her with so many beautiful and useful presents and money. ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION DENVER GIRLS GO TO WILBER FORCE UNIVERSITY FOR SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL COURSE. Laverne Williams, Vassar Cousins, Minnie Sanderlin, Marjorie Dow, Lucille Polk and Mabel Buford, all Denverites and the children of parents who have won the recognition from the prestige they have established as being good citizens, and who have as their standard, development of the educational quality of the young and the moral and intellectual advancement of the members of our community, left last evening for Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio, for special courses along educational lines. These girls have attended the graded and high schools of Denver, some graduating from the latter while others were in their second and third term. They have the best wishes of teachers, relatives and friends for a most successful scholastic career and the hope is that they will add to the testimony already given of the worth of Wilberforce as not only a seat of learning but an all round training institution for the temporal as well as spiritual development of our people. The Colorado Statesman having a personal knowledge of the growth of these youngsters, being friends of the parents for several years, join the large circle of friends and acquaintances in wishing them God speed, good health, and a successful representation of the West in the far East and in the end a maintenance of their attainments for the permanent benefit of themselves, their race and society. DEARFIELD AGAIN IN PROMI NENCE. When Governor Oliver H. Shoup last Monday, became the recipient of the largest watermelon grown in Colorado this season presented by O. T. Jackson, the gift of Squire Brockman and himself, Dearfield, the colony founded by Mr. Jackson a few years ago, came again into the prominence as a wonderful addition to Colorado's agricultural resources. Farmers and agriculturists who have seen the melon, declared it to be a record-breaker and special commendation was accorded Mr. Brockman for his skill and careful training of cultivating such a product. And this is only a small feature of the wonderful production from the Dearfield colony, as the interest displayed by the colonists numbering over 250, in learning the art of dry farming will amply repay them for the sacrifices and investment they have made. Corn beans, potatoes of very large sizes and with a taste deliciously appetizing are among the principal objects of culture, while the large and small stock of the farmer, with his array of poultry of various kinds will offer a stimulating influence that will command the attention and respect of both the government authorities and admirers of those who persevere in the achievement of good things. It is clearly proven that Dearfield is a sound, safe and permanent investment. OUR BOYS IN BASEBALLDOM White Elephants defeated Lombari Grocery Company last Sunday by the score of 7 to 2.

A large and enthusiastic audience greeted Miss Hallie Q. Brown Monday evening, when she spoke at length upon the subject of "A Race That Never Produced a Traitor." Frequently she was interrupted by aplause and again and again she was enthusiastically cheered as she quoted history, telling of the undaunted bravery and loyalty of the Negro soldier. At the close of her lecture she gave several renditions, classical and humorous, and carried her audience by storm. She played the role of a naughty Little Girl as real as if she had been 6 years of age. She was pronounced a wonder. She is a genius. Miss Hallie Quinn Brown was entertained in former years by Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle and leading women of London and Europe. She brought back $22,000 on her last trip abroad, $15,000 for Wilberforce University and $7,000 for the Amanda Smith Orphanage Home in Chicago. Denver will be glad to welcome her when she returns here again. She was presented by the Loyal Legion, Mrs. Mabel Fallings, president. SHORTER CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH. Twenty-third street and Washington, A. Milton Ward, minister; phone Main 5474; 220 Twenty-third street. Sunday will be the closing day of the Conference year at Shorter Chapel. The indications are that she will make a full and round report. The pastor will deliver his closing sermon at 11 o'clock. At 8 p. m. Rev. E. W. Richardson will occupy the pulpit. Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock Bishop H. B. Parks of Chicago, IL, bishop of this diocese, will sound the gavel for the opening of the Thirty- third annual session of the Colorado Annual Conference at Shorter Chapel, African M. E. Church. Sessions will be held throughout the day and night of the week, and all people are invited to all meetings. Much interest centers in this session, it being the closing of the quadrennium, when delegates are to be elected to the General Conference. This is the ninth successive year that our own Bishop Parks has thus sounded the gavel for our Colorado Annual Conference and he is a favorite as a presiding genius throughout the entire Fifth Episcopal district, and especially in Colorado. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The summer is rapidly passing, and the throng of visitors who have been in Denver during the holidays will soon be gone. We shall miss them. The Y. M. C. A. will especially miss them, for many of them have visited the building while here. At the meeting of the committee on management last Wednesday evening, the program for the fall and winter was indorsed. It calls for an expenditure of nearly $600. This amount must be raised if this splendid program is carried out. It is the best and most comprehensive we have yet undertaken. The committee also approved the plan of a city-wide membership campaign, which is scheduled for the next three or four weeks. The committee will go out to secure 350 men and 150 boys. Plans will begin at once for the carrying out of the program. The croquet tournament is progressing nicely, with a few of the players very nearly out. At this writing Leslie Lightner is slightly in the lead, but he has several other contestants yet to meet, and his percentage is likely to be lowered. Surprises continue to occur, among them being the taking by Sinus of all the games from Bell, and then losing heavily at the hands of players from whom Bell took everything. Such surprises have frequently been noted since the tournament began, and are hard to explain. A pleasant feature of the contest has been the great number of spectators who have come to witness the games. It is hoped that the players will have finished in time for the publishing of the full report in the colored papers next week. A NATIONAL RACE CONVENTION.

I arrived in Dearfield Saturday, and was met at the depot by the Dearfield auto and driven to the Burton House. Sunday I took a drive through the farming settlement, and attended services at the Methodist Church, and heard a most interesting sermon by Rev. B. F. McCully. There was quite an attendance, and the people are a happy Christian lot. I noted a wonderful improvement in the past year in crops, stock and the improvement of their homes. Mr. Pritchett, Danforth, Holly, Hicks Brothers, Burrell, Collins and Spates all have exceptional crops and are doing fine. A bet was made, a Stetson hat being the stake, that Mr. Pritchett's corn crop would go as far as $2,000 at present prices. On a visit to the ranch of "Gold Medal" Stewart we were delighted to see what progress he has made in the few years he has been on his ranch. He has a wonderful crop of delicious honey dew and watermelons. His friends are always made welcome. The town of Dearfield is showing a very healthy sign of life. The well-stocked grocery store and blacksmith shop are doing good business. They now have a private telephone connection in Dearfield which is very convenient A. G.

Sees Game With Teacher's Eyes Richest of Nations Blind Girl Is an Enthusiastic Rooter for New York Giants. GETS ALL THE GOOD POINTS Daughter of Famous Author and Composer Inherits Love of Sport From Father—Is Like Ray of Sunshine. New York.—Everybody was humming or whistling "After the Ball" 25 years ago. Charles K. Harris, author and composer of that popular song, was at that time a resident of Milwaukee and a frequent visitor to Chicago. He was an enthusiastic baseball fan. The Harris home is now at 151 West Eighty-sixth street, this city, and Miss Mildred Harris, the nineteen-year-old daughter of the author-composer, has inherited a love of baseball from her father and, despite her total blindness, is able to "see" the game and enjoy it almost as keenly as if she had her sight. For the last seven years she has been a fan. She sits in the grandstand wearing smoked glasses and is always on hand when the Glants are playing. She jumps up and down and cheers the players just like other excited spectators. Behind her unseeing eyes is a mind of extraordinary perception, swift to grasp what is going on about her. Some of the experts say she "sees" the game more intelligently than those who have all their senses. Sees Through Father's Eyes. Miss Mildred's escort is her father, and it is through his eyes that she is able to see baseball and understand all the nice points of the game, as she has been doing for the last seven years.

United States Is Put Far in Lead by British Expert. Germany Holds Second Place and England Third, According to Professor Stamp's Statistics. London.—While the brain might reel at the many figures unloaded at a meeting of the Royal Statistical society, some interesting details as to the world's wealth can be extracted from a paper written by Prof. J. C. Stamp. Comparing the prewar wealth and income of England, Germany and the United States, Professor Stamp computes the respective totals at: Wealth. Income. England ..... $71,650,000,000 $11,250,000,000 Germany ..... 82,750,000,000 10,750,000,000 United States..... 210,000,000,000 36,250,000,000 On a per capita basis also, America comes out easily the richest country AnAdamlessEden He explains the game to her as it progresses by means of a conversational code. "When I was twelve years old," she said, "the Giants were winning the pennant, and my father was tremendously excited about it. Of course I asked him to explain, and he took a piece of cardboard and drew a diamond on it, marking the bases. While he told me about the game I traced the diagram out with my fingers until I got the thing visualized in my mind. Then I went to the games with him and soon learned to understand them by means of our code, usually expressed in monosyllables, a word at a time. Soon I came to know the players and, like others present, to get all wrought up over team work and brilliant individual performances." In this way the blind girl came to know the stars of the baseball world. She can tell you all about the wonderful feats of Christy Mathewson, Ty Cobb and those of more recent date, including Benny Kauff, Ross Young and others. She laughingly says she has the time of her life when she goes to a ball game. She is sure that she sees all that is going on just about as anyone else sees it. AnAdam Illinois Girls Want to Have Colony in Far West. Suggest That Governor of Wyoming Procure for Them a "Bad Lands" Tract as Soon as Possible. Bloomington, Ill.—A group of Kane county girls plan to found an "Adamless Eden" in Wyoming or some other far western state. Miss Nellie Grant is sponsor for the movement and has written to Gov. R. D. Carey for his assistance in starting a woman's colony far from the haunts of man. In making her unique request, Miss Grant stated that the party will be made up of twenty, of whom ten are employed in a watch factory, seven are housekeepers, two are nurses and one is a school teacher. All are dissatisfied with their lot and assert that the future holds forth nothing that is sufficiently encouraging to warrant their remaining at home. They believe that they can make a success of farming and would like to obtain a section of land, 640 acres, in some unsettled region, far from a railroad and little frequented by man. Miss Grant suggested to the Wyoming executive a tract in southwestern Wyoming known as the "Bad Lands," and which is really a desert. No man will be allowed about the premises. Governor Carey admitted that it was the most unusual request that he had ever received. He turned the letter over to the immigration commissioner of Nations in the world. The capital per head of the population, according to Professor Stamp, was, before the war: Capital. Income. England ..... $1,500 ..... $250 Germany ..... 1,220 ..... 150 United States ..... 2,120 ..... 360 All these figures must be consider- ably inflated to obtain the current year's capital and income, but the in- crease would certainly be biggest in the case of the United States, which could boast at least treble its prewar wealth. The thrifty habits of the French nation were reflected, said Professor Stamp, in a capital of $1,515 per head, while Italy and Australia had only $640 and $605, respectively. He computes Japan's capital at $12,000,000,000, or on a per capita basis, $220 capital, and $30 income per head of population. The capital and income of Spain was probably as low as any in Europe, the income per head not exceeding $55. Although Miss Harris was born blind, she carries a ray of sunshine with her wherever she goes, for she is cheerful and optimistic. She is fond of the outdoors and excels in walking, swimming and dancing. She is an accomplished pianist, speaks French fluently and during the war was a volunteer worker for the Y. W. C. A. Rooter for the Giants. It may be added that Miss Mildred this year is betting on the Giants, but the fact is she has always been a "rooter" for the Giants. More than once, however, she had lost money on them, but is hoping that she will be lucky enough to get some of it back this year. She feels it "in her bones" that nothing can head the Giants off this year. The ball game is the one place she can go where she can throw aside formality and do just as she pleases, and for this reason it is her greatest recreation "You see," she explains, "you don't have to be subdued and self-repressed but can holler your head off if you want to, and nobody pays any attention. When the game is not going just right to suit everybody pandemonium reigns and the whole crowd is in a state of frenzy. It certainly is great sport." Miss Harris modestly says she has been given credit for having converted many others into fans. She talks baseball enthusiastically to her friends and acquaintances and naturally they become interested and follow the crowd to witness the great American game. with a suggestion that he do everything in his power to find such a tract for the party from Illinois. The young women are ready to pay for the tract, but have limited funds, and can only finance a section that has not yet felt the advancing tide of civilization in the way of price. Some members of the proposed colony object to Wyoming and believe that Montana or Idaho offer greater possibilities. The decision, however, has been left with Miss Grant and the choice will follow the investigation of various sites now being made. The various members are studying farming. Ex-President Receives 1.825 Mystery Notes Long Beach, Cal.—Former President Taft every day for the last five years has received from some unknown person of this city a letter bearing a signature which resembles the tracks of a struggling fly escaping an ink bath. None of the writing is decipherable. Postmaster Demond received a communication from the former chief executive asking relief from the correspondent and requesting that the local police investigate the situation. In all, 1,825 letters from the mystery author have been received, the letter to the local postmaster states. HELP GERMANS TO FIGHT FIRE West Pointers and American Doughboys Go to Aid of Moravian Colony. 2 Coblenz, Germany.—Two hundred officers who recently were graduated from West Point military academy, joined hands with hundreds of American doughboys and civilians in fighting a fire which threatened to destroy the Moravian colony, an ancient order of religious workers at the Newwed headquarters of the First division. The West Pointers, who are on a tour of the battlefields and the occupied area, were attending a dance given in their honor when the fire was discovered just after midnight. The flames got beyond the control of the German firemen and the West Pointers and the doughboys were summoned by Col. Stephen O. Fuqua, chief of staff of the division, to aid in quenching them. The Americans fought the fire until daylight, when it was brought under control. The blaze was confined to one block. HE WENT TOO FAR Baby Elephant Suffered for His Mischievous Prank. Trick That Was Too Much for Mother's Patience to Endure Rewarded by the Equivalent to a Sound Spanking. In a recent exchange it is stated that elephants are amazingly like human beings in the way they discipline their young. In proof it tells an amusing incident seen by a French traveler in an extensive lumber yard in Burma. While the adult elephants were faithfully at work the youngsters played about the yard. The elephant that attracted the traveler's particular attention was hauling, in her chain harness, huge tree trunks from the bank of the river. She had a heavy load, a fact that her offspring did not realize. Bent on playing a prank, he wound his little trunk around one of the chain traces and pulled back with all his strength. Conscious of the suddenly increased weight, the mother stopped and looked around. She saw the youngster and shook her head solemnly, but, paying no further heed to his teasing, bent again to her work. Meanwhile the little rascal with his mischievous trunk had loosened the ring that fastened the traces to the load. While the mother was straining to set her burden in motion again, her rascally son pulled with all his might against her, and pulled so sturdily that she was quite unaware that she had been disconnected from her load. Then, suddenly, the youngster let go. Naturally enough, the mother was thrown to her knees and her driver hurled in a wide circle from her back. The culprit sought a huge wood-pile that seemed to offer him at least a temporary protection. His mother, with her iron harness clanging noisily behind her, kept close at his heels. Although the little one's greater agility gained some space for him at the corners, his mother eventually overtook him. The first blow of her trunk drew from him a bawl of pain. At the second he sank, quite humbled, to his knees; and then he endured without a murmur, although with many tears, a sound thrashing. Finally the mother let him up. With tears still streaming and with drooping trunk he took his disconsolate way out of the yard. The little fellow had won the complete sympathy of the observer. Consequently he was overjoyed to witness during the noon hour a touching reconciliation. The mother did all she could to comfort the penitent little sinner; she caressed him with her trunk, cuddled him up against her, and looked at him as if to say "You still have a mother who loves you."—Our Dumb Animals. Dogs in a Different World. It is widely known that fishes and other lower vertebrates possess numerous types of sense organs quite unlike anything in our own bodies, and it is quite impossible for us to form any conception of what the world appears like to these animals except insofar as their sensory equipment is similar to our own. Even the companionable dog, who responds so sympathetically and intelligently to our moods, lives in a very different world. Recent experiments have shown that his sense of vision is very imperfect, especially for details of form, and everybody knows the inconceivable delicacy of the hound's sense of smell. With us vision is the dominant sense, and our mental imagery is largely in terms of things seen. Even a blind man will say, "I see how it is," when he comprehends a demonstration. What sort of a world is it to a dog, whose finest experiences and chief interests are in terms of colors?—C Judson Herrick, in Natural History. Not Responsible. The justice of the peace of a certain town was a hardened old bachelor, notoriously averse to marriage. His most intimate friend was to be married and insisted that he perform the ceremony. After much persuasion the justice consented and the affair went on smoothly until the last interrogation. "Do you take this woman to be your lawful wedded wife?" was asked in a pathetic tone. "I do," was the response. "Then I pronounce you man and wife, but remember, Jack, you asked me to do this. Don't ever blame me for it." Didn't Amount to Much Then. Elman was boasting to his younger brother about how smart he was when he was a year old. "I could walk an' run an' jump," he bragged, "an' sing a song." "An' what was I doing then?" inquired Willie. "Did I run an' jump, too?" "You couldn't do nothing," was Elman's crushing reply. "When I was a year old you was nowhere; you was just a speck of dust." Illustrating a Point. While going to church I was detained by a friend, and when I arrived there I was late, for the preacher was already speaking. At the time of my entrance he was saying, "He who sinneth shall fall," when suddenly I tripped over a cane which a man had carelessly put out in the aisle. I went to my seat, red as a beet, among broad smiles from the audience—Exchange to welcome all to good home cooking ainties of the seasons, any time from 6 to 11:30 p. m.

GOOD SOLVENTS TO USE ON DIFFERENT FABRICS TO REMOVE SPOTS AND STAINS VANILLA WATER Have Everything in Readiness Before Starting Operations. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) "The first time I have worn it and look at that spot!" Every one is familiar with that remark, made in an anguished tone of voice. The tragedy of spoiling a new garment, however, is eliminated if the unfortunate one knows just what to apply for that particular kind of stain. The removal of stains is a necessary feature of the laudering and general care of clothing and other household textiles. Nearly all stains may be removed easily at home if reliable methods are known. Coffee and Tea (Clear).—ing water; bleach if necessary. Coffee and Tea (With Cream cold water, then boiling water if necessary. Cream and Milk.—Use cold then soap and cold water. Egg.—Use cold water. Fruit and Fruit Juices.—ing water; bleach if necessary. Grass.—Use cold water; cold water; alcohol; or a agent. Grease and Oils.—Use chalk, blotting paper, or other; or warm water and a coarse hairbrush or glove. One of the most important factors is to apply the stain remover while the stain is still fresh. Drying, exposure to air, washing and ironing, all make it harder to remove the stain. The nature of the stain should be known if possible before its removal is attempted, since this determines the treatment to be adopted. An unsuitable stain remover may "set" the stain so its removal becomes difficult or even impossible. Treatment Depends on Fabric. The kind of fabric on which the stain occurs also should be known, for the method of treatment depends much on the nature, color, weave, finish and weight of the fabric. Do not use strong acids on cotton, and even diluted ones should be neutralized afterwards with a suitable alkali. Care also should be taken in the use of the alkali, as it weakens the fabric. After any reagent rinse the fabric well. Do not use very hot water on wool or silk. Rubbing also must be avoided with these fabrics. Both wool and silk are dissolved by strong alkali; borax or a weak solution of ammonia is more suitable. Acids, with the exception of nitric, do not attack silk and wool readily. With colored materials avoid use of a bleaching agent which will destroy the color of the material. Because of this it is much more difficult to remove stains from colored material than from white. Removing Common Stains. Blood and Meat Juice.—Use cold water; soap and cold water; or starch paste. Bluing.—Use boiling water. Chocolate and Cocoa.—Use borax and cold water; bleach if necessary. MAKING HASH OUT OF COOKED VEGETABLES MAKING HASH OUT OF COOKED VEGETABLES Can Be Used Alone or Combined With Meat or Fish. It Is Essential That Vegetables Be Cut Fairly Fine and Thoroughly Mixed—Add Onion, Chives or Green Pepper. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Hash may be made with one or many cooked vegetables used alone or combined with meat or fish. Potato is the most useful vegetable for a hash, as it combines well with meat or with other vegetables. It is essential for good hash that the vegetables be cut fairly fine, but not so fine that the pieces will lose their shape or stick together—that is, the particles should drop apart readily when shaken on a fork. Each vegetable must be cut up separately, then all be mixed. The vegetables, or vegetable, and meat or fish must be well seasoned with salt and pepper, and if liked there may be added a little minced onion, chives, parsley, chervil, or green pepper finely minced. The hash must be moistened a little with meat broth, milk or water—not more than a half cupful for a quart of hash. When the hash is mixed, seasoned and moistened put a tablespoonful of butter or savory drippings in a frying pan. When this is melted put in the hash and spread evenly and lightly in the pan. Over this put little dots of butter or savory drippings, using about one tablespoonful in all. Cover the pan and place where the hash will not burn but where the heat is fairly good, and cook for half an hour, then fold and turn on a hot platter. A rich brown crust will have formed on the bottom of the hash if the heat was sufficient. Serve it hot, and on heated plates Coffee and Tea (Clear).—Use boiling water; bleach if necessary. Coffee and Tea (With Cream).—Use cold water, then boiling water; bleach if necessary. Cream and Milk.—Use cold water, then soap and cold water. Egg.—Use cold water. Fruit and Fruit Juices.—Use boiling water; bleach if necessary. Grass.—Use cold water; soap and cold water; alcohol; or a bleaching agent. Grease and Oils.—Use French chalk, blotting paper, or other absorbent; or warm water and soap; or gasoline, benzine, or carbon tetrachloride. Iodine.—Use warm water and soap; alcohol; or ammonia. Ink.—Try cold water; then use an acid or bleach if necessary. Iron.—Use oxalic acid; hydrochloric acid; salts of lemon; or lemon juice and salt. Kerosene.—Use warm water and soap. Lampblack and Soot.—Use kerosene, benzine, chloroform, ether, gasoline, or carbon tetrachloride. Mildew.—If fresh, use cold water; otherwise try to bleach with Javelle water or potassium permanganate. Paint and Varnish.—Use alcohol, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, or turpentine. Perspiration.—Use soap and warm water; bleach in the sun or with Javelle water or potassium permanganate. Pitch, Tar, and Wheel Grease.—Rub with fat; then use soap and warm water; or benzine, gasoline, or carbon tetrachloride. Scorch.—Bleach in the sunshine or with Javelle water. Shoe Polish (Black).—Use soap and water; or turpentine. Shoe Polish (Tan).—Use alcohol. Sirup.—Use water. Stove Polish.—Use cold water and soap; or kerosene, benzine, or gasoline. Vaseline.—Use kerosene or turpentine. Water.—Steam or sponge the entire surface of water-spotted materials. Wax.—Scrape off as much as possible. Use French chalk, blotting paper or other absorbent with a warm iron; or use benzine or gasoline. If color remains, use alcohol or bleach. USING BLANKET TO SAVE ICE Better to Keep Food In Other Compartments in Order to Permit Air to Circulate. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The blanketed ice in a refrigerator is a slacker at its post of duty, and the person who placed the blanket there is the cause of it, specialists in the department of agriculture declare. A refrigerator is kept cold by the ice melting and taking up the heat within the insulated walls. When the ice is kept from melting ice is saved but not food. At times when it is necessary to wrap the ice to make it last until the new supply comes, any perishable food which is to be used without further cooking should be moved up as close to the ice as possible. Ordinarily, however, it is better to keep food in other compartments in order that the air may circulate freely. ALL AROUND the HOUSE Wet the cut end of ham with vinegar to keep from moulding. * * * * Nip off the ends of potatoes before baking. They will be more mealy. * * * * Put kerosene on tar stains before wetting them, then wash with warm water and soap. * * * * Melt a cup of ordinary glue and pour it into a pail of the warm water you use for washing the wood work. It will cleanse it and give a high gloss. When your black silk gloves begin to look shabby, mix a little of the white of an egg with black ink. Put on the gloves and apply the mixture with a soft cloth. The Wonders of America BY T. T. MAXEY MESA VERDE NATIONAL PARK. IN 1888 there was discovered in Montezuma county, southwestern Colorado, the greatest prehistoric ruins in this country. A thorough examination of the canyon of the Mancos river disclosed the fact that it contained extensive examples of the mysterious remains of an extinct race. Uncle Sam decided to preserve and set aside nearly 50,000 acres as a national park—Mesa (Spanish for high tableland) and Verda (meaning green, from the cedar trees). Many narrow canyons with high, sheer walls open into the valley. In their sides are many of the best-preserved specimens of cliff dwellings known. A large human population lived in these cave-huts on the sides of these sandstone cliffs. They believed that they were dependent upon the gods to make the rainfall so their crops would grow and worshiped the sun as the fatier of all and the earth as the mother who brought all material blessings. Apparently they possessed no written language and recorded their thoughts only by means of symbols. Cliff Palace, the largest dwelling—a community house—had over 200 dwelling rooms. in addition to many sacred rooms called kivas. Sun Temple, a mysterious ruin, shaped like a letter D, is over 120 feet long and 64 feet wide. As the population of this community increased the floor of the caves was covered with rooms, and finally they emerged from the caves altogether and builted pueblos on top of the mesas in the open country. A visit to these ruins is much like going back into another world. THE WHITE HOUSE. THE home of the president of the United States, generally known as the White House, first became known as such when it was painted white to cover the marks of fire after being partially burned by the British in 1814. The foundation of this world-famous structure was put down in October, 1792. It was the first building erected in Washington. The site was picked by President George Washington, who also laid the corner stone. The building was first occupied by President John Adams, during the summer of 1800. It is two stories and basement, and contains 31 rooms. It is surrounded by a spacious lawn and gardens, which are inclosed by a huge iron fence. Whether viewed through the heavy foliage of the giant trees or across winter's mantle of snow, it always looks restful and dignified. The White House naturally has been the scene of many tragedies and comedies, much joy, and also has had its share of anxiety and grief. It holds a peculiar interest for the people of all nations, those of the United States in particular. It is a point of pilgrimage for thousands and thousands of people annually, who come to admire its decorations and paintings, study the relics of past occupants and, if opportunity offers, grasp the hand of the first citizen of the land. To a greater degree perhaps than any other building in the world, people of all ages and ranks have mingled under its roof. YOSEMITE VALLEY, CALIFORNIA THIS beautiful valley—now a part of Yosemite National park, by the way—is one of nature's most wonderful works of art. The valley is only eight miles long and less than two miles wide. The park embraces a domain about 36 by 48 miles. Here the supreme artist has chiseled and etched and painted an outdoor gallery of masterpieces unlike any other in the world. The Indians termed the place the Heart of the Sky Mountains and called it "The Vale of the Ahwanee," and themselves Ahwaneeches, or "Children of Light." The excelling features of the Yosemite are its waterfalls and sheer, bold cliffs. Snow-waters from high mountains have found a wonderful variety and beauty of courses down the mountain walls to the Merced river in the valley below. These peculiar peaks strikingly resemble huge domes and range in height all the way from 1,200 to 6,000 feet. The falls which descend their rugged sides range in height from 350 feet—Vernal falls, which is only 35 feet wide at the top—to beautiful Yosemite falls, which, in three leaps, plunges half a mile and is said to be the highest waterfall in the world with anything like the same volume of water. Standing on the summit of Sentinel Dome, the magnificence of the vista of the valley that bursts upon the eye compels silence. Perhaps no valley in the world combines so much that is so sublimely beautiful. It is "a bite of Paradise," sure enough. THE MOUNTAIN KINGDOM OF COLORADO. AMONG all the mountain kingdoms, Colorado — "the Perupeudic state"—stands easily first in physical adornment. In Colorado 100,000 square miles contain 155 mountain peaks that are more than 13,000 feet high. Colorado contains 103,925 square miles. Of this vast area, as big as all New England with Indiana added, two-thirds is mountainous. The state is traversed by the main chain of the Rocky mountains, the oftquoted "backbone of the continent," the huge rooftree of our republic. Prolific mother of rivers, this great watershed gives rise to the Rio Grande, the two Plattes, the Arkansas, many "lesser lights" and the Colorado, that, in Arizona, passes for 200 miles between those sheer red walls that constitute one of the scenic wonders of the world, and flows at last into foreign seas. There are about 6,000 miles of running water, born of snow and filled with fish; 500 lakes, large and small, some distinguished with a famous name, others still asleep in mountain hollows, almost unknown. It is a strange country. The very name is a memento of the passing race that, first of Europeans, saw these serene, reddish-brown peaks leaning against the sky. The name means red, light brown, ruddy, florid and may even be a synonym for joyousness. Life is more than an existence in Colorado. Nature seems ever beckoning one to come and romp with her. The sun shines with almost the same regularity as the dawn appears. Colorado is one of the greatest heritages of the American people. UTAH—"THE PROMISED LAND." FIRST settled in the summer of 1847 by Brigham Young and his little band of Mormons, numbering less than 150 souls, Utah is fast coming into its own. Utah is 7,000,000 acres larger than all of the New England states combined, and there isn't much, if, indeed, there is anything—within reason—that the imagination of man can conceive or his heart wish for that the state does not yield or cannot offer. Tis said that Utah contains enough iron ore to rebuild most of the steel structures in the country; sufficient black marble to build a column from the earth to the moon; salt enough to supply the world for 60 years; the greatest copper mine in all the world; enough coal to supply her population for 60,000 years; clay and sand enough to make the world's supply of brick for many years; 4,000,000,000 feet of lumber and sandstone and granite in quantities equal to the rebuilding of the majority of the buildings in the United States. Gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc to the value of $97,000,000 were mined in Utah during one recent year. Goodly quantities of agricultural products and fruit are also produced. Utah's climate is neither hot, cold, dry or wet, but rather a happy medium with a touch of salt air added for good measure. Her fertile valleys remind one of Italy, her pointed mountains hold a touch of Alpine beauty and great painters say that her sunsets are the most beautiful in the world. THE GRAND CANYON IN ARIZONA. THE late George Fitch said "Arizona was made by nature in a frivolous and contradictory mood, a few million years ago, just to show man, when he arrived, what she could do when she felt like it." The Grand Canyon of the Colorado River—the most wonderful geological and spectacular phenomenon known to man—is in Arizona. Discovered by Spanish explorers in 1540, it has been an object of wonder and admiration ever since. In approaching it your first surprise is that you are not prepared for it. Its beginning is so very abrupt. In one jump from the edge you could go down 2,000 feet. Viewed from the rim, looking down, it is a stupendous panorama—an unbelievable abyss, 3,000 to 5,000 feet deep, 10 to 13 miles wide and 200 miles long. Its sides are lined with countless and varled ornamental architectural features, the whole beautifully tinted and colored and marvelously harmonious. Seen from the bottom, looking up, it is so big that it amazes and bewilders one. On every side are endless processes of caves, terraces, pinnacles, towers, buttes, cliffs and peaks—stormcarved and weather-stained—many of them higher than any mountain east of the Rockles, yet none of them level with the top. Globe trotters say that nothing else in all the world even remotely approaches this spectacle. The color combination seems to shift with every movement of the sun, clouds or your position. There is a trail to the bottom and a road around the rim. (Copyright, 1919, Western Newspaper Union) Tattoo Removal. Various methods for removing tattooing are employed. the best of which consists in going over the tattoo marks with a strong solution of tannin, using the tattooing needle, then rubbing with silver nitrate crayon. Nitric acid, salicylic acid and glycerine, chloroform and a mixture of pepsin, glycerine, hydrochloric acid and water are other substances used for this purpose. Thriving Table Leg. Among the furnishings of a South Carolina home, says Popular Mechanics magazine, is a small willow table that is the talk of the neighborhood. Although it has been, kept indoors and far from any moisture ever since it was built and properly painted, several months ago, one leg is now the proud parent of four leafy sprouts, which thrive in their strange surroundings. First Private English Phone. The first telephone ever placed in a private English residence is still to be seen at Marlborough house. It was made in 1878 on board the warship Thunderer and was subsequently set up between the schoolroom and the boudoir of the princess of Wales.

And so long as gowns or suits convey to us that they clothe a supple, youthful and corsetless figure, they are sure of attention. Not that figures are in reality corsetless, or always youthful. But these are the things that must be suggested if the garment is to prove a success. The task of conveying the fashionable outlines lies with the corset maker and the dressmaker, who are very much aided by the softness and limpness of the fabrics used. One of the new draped frocks for late summer is shown in the picture above, made of silk with a satin stripe. Whether or not it is an import, it has a French flavor, with its rather short, split underskirt and boudant over In the Kinde hat wat ges A small boy, newly arrived at the dignity of pants, and a little girl in her new fall coat for school wear, invite the attention of interested mothers. These are children in the kindergarten stage and they are well clothed in the simple and good-looking things that are pictured here. There is hardly a season which enters lacking light woolen coats in black-and-white checks for girls and misses. This one, for a little lady of four years or so, is cut to flare and is knee length. It has large patch pockets, with pointed flaps, that support handsome buttons, and a shawl collar of the checked material. The buttons are the special pride and glory of this coat and three of them serve to fasten it at the front. They are black with a ring of white, to match them to the coat. The over collar and straight cuffs of white plaque which lend so much snowy freshness to this smart little coat are, of course, detachable, so that they may be kept clean, and several sets of them take their turn at service while their fellows go to the tub. The entire suit worn by the little lad is washable. The waist and pants are designed with an eye to easy laundering, made of strong cotton material and put together to last. In urapery. In the underskirt and overskirt the satin stripe in the fabric runs horizontally, but in the bodice and sleeves the stripes are vertical. All the interest in this frock centers in the management of the fabric, for nothing else is used. The long overdress is caught up in two very deep plaits to form the suggestion of panniers at the sides and a short tunic at the back, and it is considerably lengthened at the left side, where it ends over the split in the underskirt. The quaint bodice is extended into a basque and joined to the skirt. A square neck and elbow sleeves are finished with full, soft puffs of the silk. A lace chemisette with a falling frill of lace across the front closes the story of this piquant frock which is so unlike its contemporaries. It has a quaint and sprightly style and many of the fibre-silk materials are especially well suited to it. ergarten Class 4 197 11 41 clothes for small boys these are the first essentials after the choice of fabric is made. After these matters are disposed of, design is considered, and it would be hard to find anything more engaging than this snappy little outfit. The short pants turn under at the bottom and fasten with elastic at the knee. The plain blouse is plaited into a wide belt in which long, vertical buttonholes are worked. It has long shoulders and long sleeves and a regulation sailor collar, trimmed with the usual three rows of braid. There are two rows on the sleeves, and on the left arm a very grand and impressive looking insignia. But the crowning glory of this suit, as of the little girl's coat, are the very large and handsome buttons that look more than equal to holding the pants and waist together. The belt laces together at the left side, and a wide silk tie completes the splendor of an outfit which shows its wearer to be a person of considerable consequence in a world of his own.

The United States, closely pressed by France in 1917 for its place as third naval power in the world, is now second only to Great Britain and is pushing to completion a building program that will make the American navy a formidable contender for first naval honors. A little more than two years ago, the figures show, Germany, then second naval power, boasted more than 100 more ships of all classes than the United States, with a total tonnage exceeding that of the American navy by nearly 200,000 tons. Great Britain's fleet at that time 980 ships, aggregating 2,375,404 tons, as compared with 1,058,240 tons and the United States' 153 ships and.

The completion of the present building programs, years, will find the chief naval powers of the world to live strengths: Great Britain, 955 ships aggregating States, 608 ships totaling 2,117,922 tons; Japan, 170 ships 253 ships, 719,237 tons, and Germany, 643 ships measure U.

J. S. Army Lists Emphasize "What's in a Name?" THE bureau of war risk insurance has compiled a statement showing that there were 53,200 Johnson's in the army, 51,950 Smiths, 49,000 Williams, 48,000 Browns, 28,000 Jones, 22,000 Andersons, and 18,500 Walkers. Of the Johnson's there were 2,138 with the first name John and 2,062 answering to William. Of the Smiths, 3,412 were Johns and 2,625 Williams, with 1,200 of them using the baffling title of "E. Smith." Twenty-three men in the service carry the famous name of "Robert E. Lee," who have no middle name, using merely the initial "E." Of "George Washington's" there are 123, and there are six with the modest name of "General Washington," 47 "John Quincy Adams" and five "Abraham Lincoln." Every prominent man has his many namesakes in the bureau files. General Grant, General Wellington, General Pickett, General Jackson, Napoleon Bonaparte, and other famous war figures are all there, although their rank in the world war was that of private. Localities sometimes run to similarity in names. There were 89 Porto Ricans in the army named Rodriguez. There were but seven first names—Domingo, Francisco, Jose, Juan, Ramon, Tomas and Antonio.
