GIFTS SUITORS OUTWEIG HE SAYS; WHITE BY GEORGE EGERTON. Famous British Novelist. LONDON, Sept. 13.—"Let your justice be equally free from laxity and inhumanity."— Ibsen. There has been a good deal of ink spilled during the last week on the subject of the race riots between black and white in port towns and the East End of London. Men have seen red, and many injudicious things have been said which will rankle and bear evil fruit later on. John cannot stick his head out of the imperial house and cry to his black subject: "Robbers are breaking in, and they are threatening my women folk and setting fire to my treasures; come and help me," and then, when the trouble is over kick him behind and say, "Go round to the back door." The whole question bristles with difficulties, owing to the enormous disproportion (isn't it three-fourths?) of black to white in the British Empire. And it always has been an article of faith that every-subject of the empire is entitled to liberty and protection. Colored Men Save Money. I am not at all certain that the ill-feeling displayed was entirely due to the union of white women with black men. I fancy that was a peg to hang resentment on. Discharged soldiers and workmen of all kinds are in thousands in Liverpool and the East End of London waiting for work—and when they have work, for houses. The black man has earned good money; he has saved. He dresses smartly, he's fond of show, often has his own house, and has a way of attracting the white girl. Watch the way the men of their own class treat them, and watch the black man. He's full of honeyed coaxing and flattery, generous with gifts, prepared to spend his money, and the white girl adds fuel to the fire by her preference. Personally, I have never been able to understand the union of black with white. The idea has always been so repugnant to me that death would always have been the pleasanter alternative—although, apart from that, I like black people. I have met many English women lacking in this instinct, and it is certain that quite a number of them have no dislike for companionship with colored men. I see them everywhere—pretty, nicely- behaved girls, and however hurtful it may be to the British man's jealousy for his womankind, I am forced to confess they are often not girls of easy virtue. On the contrary, they are good, straight girls, who are engaged to marry these men. Why is it? How have they come to lose their pride, their consciousness of race? I am frankly not sure. Perhaps the worst system of education in the world is partly to blame for it—perhaps the equality, cant, the mawkish sentimentality of Sunday school lectures, on the "poor black brother." The former turns out girls out of the board schools quite ignorant of their greatest inheritance—the Empire, of which they are a part. Black Man Offers Gifts. Ignorant of the role the old lioness has played in civilization, of her conquests and battle scars, ignorant of the lands and peoples her children have won and brought under her flags, they have not the same passionate attachment to her, quite apart from home and relations, as the Irish and French peasants have to the bit of soil which is their own. The material things of life have replaced ideals; they want money and the things it will buy. The black man offers gifts, and they weigh more than pride of race, which should teach them to say, "I am English, daughter of the old lioness crouching in the cradle land of the empire, from which whelps have sailed all over the world. I, too, am guardian of the race. Let me see that I do not betray my trust." Comparisons are always dangerous. But educated black women (they have come to Cheltenham and other colleges here) cannot fail to make them, when they hear the outcry at the mating of a white girl with one of their men, and note the penalty for interfering with white women. I say deliberately it is a queer kind of logic which makes the union of a black man with a white woman (often deliberately encouraged by her) a matter for the death penalty, when the white man from Burmah to Lagos, Jamaica to Rangoon, deliberately buys the native woman. Temporary unions with offspring are common in every place where black and white commingle, and when the day comes to return to the old country she is paid off, and the children grow up as they can. The number of half-castes in one colony alone runs into many hundred thousands. The blame and the shame and the bad example are laid to the white man. It is he who has let down the women of his race badly in the eyes of the native by these unions. It is he who has super-imposed his own vices on to those of the aboriginal. There ought to be an absolute boycott, at no matter what material cost, by every white woman of the man who transgresses in this matter. It ought to be a point of honor with every white man to see that the respect he exacts, and exacts rightly, for white women shall be extended to all women of the black races. Then, and only then, can this vexed question be tackled fairly. St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 10.—C. W. McCraye, 4016 Fairfax has invented a new five-plow combination which promises to revolutionize the farming duties. Mr. McCray is also the inventor of a cotton chopper and an automatic railway gate. He expects to form a company for manufacturing in the near future. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1919 OHIO BUILDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS. THE Director of Negro Economics, U. S. Department of Labor, has just called attention to some constructive work of his division in Ohio. As a result of inadequate housing conditions in several of the most important industrial centers to which Negro workmen have gone in large numbers since 1916, Charles E. Hall, Supervisor of Negro Economics for Ohio, began early in May, 1919, a campaign for building and loan associations to be organized and financed by the progressive colored men and women in each of these congested communities to assist Negroes to buy or build homes. A circular letter calling attention to "Housing Facilities for Negro Labor" together with a statement giving general information on the subject of organizing building and loan associations was carefully prepared and mailed from the Columbus office on May 8, and, through the courtesy of the Department of Building and Loans, copies of the laws of Ohio relating to Building and Loan Asosciences were mailed to the chairman of each County Negro Workers' Advisory Committee. A model form of Constitution and ByLaws was also prepared by the Supervisor who gave copies to those most interested. Through correspondence and local conferences the movement was started from Lake Erie to the Ohio river. Prior to this, there was only one association, the Star Building and Loan Association of Toledo, which was under the direction and control of colored men. Since the inauguration of the campaign of Supervisor Hall, three other associations have been organized and chartered, one at Springfield, Middletown and Cleveland, while others are being promoted at Akron, Cincinnati, Columbus, Greenfield and Youngstown, by influential men who have a vision of racial opportunities through co-operative enterprises. The four companies mentioned have a combined capitalization of $235,000 with stock sales already in excess of $50,000. The Negroes of Ohio now lead those of all other Northern states in this enterprise. CONGRESSMAN SCORES NEGRO RADICALS Democratic Solon Raps Militant Publications—Urges Prosecution of DuBois Washington, D. C., Sept. 6.—For thirty minutes, Tuesday last, Congressman James F. Byrnes, Democrat, from South Carolina, scored the radical leaders of the race, attributed the recent race riots to their incitement and generally indicted them for stirring up race hatred, engendering an aggressive spirit in their followers and violating the espionage law. As proof of his assertions, Congressman Byrnes read a large number of quotations from publications, including The Crisis, Messenger, Washington Eagle, and from the speech of William Monroe Trotter in Washington. "These radical leaders," said Mr. Byrnes, "are urging their followers to resort to violence in order to obtain privileges they believe themselves entitled to, and the recent riots indicate that they are accepting this advice." After quoting from an editorial of The Crisis, which declared: "We return." "We return from fighting." "We return fighting." "We saved de- mocracy in France, and by the Great Jehovah we will save it in America, or know the reason why." He followed from The Messenger for July: "No intelligent American Negro is willing to lay down his life for the United States as it now exists. Intelligent Negroes have all reached the point where their loyalty to the country is conditional." He declared: "War hasn't changed the attitude of white men toward the social and political equality of the Negro. If he can not live in the United States without political and social equality, then he can depart for any country he wishes and the departure will be facilitated by the people of this country." Relative to the Negroes' leadership, Congressman Byrnes said: "No greater service can be rendered the Negro today than to have him know that this government will not tolerate on the part of leaders of his race action which constitutes a violation of the law, and under which the race has made greater strides than it has under any government on earth." This statement drew applause from members of the House. Among other significant statements made by the congressman were that some leaders had changed their attitude, becoming suddenly radical, naming Dr. DuBois; that The Messenger must be financed by some agency, intimating it to be the I. W. W.'s; that if no law exists, there should be passed one prohibiting circulation through the mails of incendiary doctrines. Mr. Byrnes stated that he had handed an editorial from The Crisis to the attorney general with the request that he have proceedings instituted against DuBois. The close of Congressman Byrnes' speech was marked by the following statement: "This is the white man's country, and will always remain a white man's country—so much for political and social equality." U. S. ATTACKED ON RACIAL STRIFE BY JAPS. Newspaper at Tokio Says It Is Dis grace to Civilized World—Must Solve Question on Own Soil Before Can Preach Justice to Others. Washington, D. C., Sept. 10.—Official advices received from Tokio yesterday indicate that Japan is paying close attention to the developments in the United States Senate on the treaty of peace, and is particularly concerned over the action of the Foreign Relations Committee in striking out the name of "Japan" from the Shantung provision of the document. The Hochi, an influential Japanese newspaper, says: Japan Not Afraid to Fight. "The United States Senate is acting wanlently over the Shantung question, Mr. Borah goes so far as to declare that America will not hesitate to go to war. When the Japanese press denounced the unlawful actions of America some time ago, it was reported the American ambassador in Tokio had lodged a complaint with the Japanese authorities. How does he regard the recent wanton attitude of the United States? We are not going to say much on this point. We only say, and offer it as a lesson to Americans, that whatever the opinions of America, Japan will never hesitate to carry out her rights guaranteed in the peace treaty. Racial Strife in U. S. A. a Disgrace. "The racial strife in America is a disgrace to the civilized world. If America wishes to preach the principle of justice and humanity to others, she must solve the question of racial "strife on her soil." RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources THE statement of Governor Hobby of Texas, with regard to the assault upon John R. Shillady in Austin, that Texas is for Texans, has been met by a telegram from Governor Smith of New York that he will endeavor to protect citizens of New York state in any part of the country they may be in while engaged in lawful business. Governor Smith's telegram, which was addressed to Mary White Ovington, chairman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is as follows: "Governor Smith will do all in his power to protect citizens of New York State in any part of country while engaged in proper and lawful business. (Signed) GEO. R. VAN NAMEE, SOUTHLAND IN DIRE NEED OF COLORED LABOR. Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 3.—The southern farmers are making a pitiful plea for the return of thousands of farm hands that left during the general exodus. They are willing to pay railroad fare back to Dixie if they can only get in touch with southernborn colored men who are willing to return to the south. The south is in need of labor to gather the cotton crop and help harvest the other produce. The farmers emphatically declare they do not want northern colored men; they would prefer foreigners to them. The old adage is coming back to the southerners, "Every dog has his day." EDITOR WINS FIRST PRIZE IN AD VERTISING CONTEST. Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 12.-A. R. Smith of this city, editor and publisher of the Phoenix Tribune, the only race journal in the state, won first prize in an advertising contest conducted recently by a local automobile firm. The contest was held for the purpose of determining the best method of advertising, that containing the company name or without it. Five prizes were offered for the best suggestions. The contest aroused widespread interest throughout this state, and many replies were received. Chief among them were the replies containing suggestions from the advertising manager of leading white weekly and daily newspapers in the state. The winner of the second prize was a white man who is advertising manager of the Arizona Gazette, the leading daily newspaper in Arizona. MURDERING NEGROES. (La Follette's Magazine.) The mobbing of harmless, helpless Negroes in the capital of this country is the nation's everlasting shame. The responsibility for starting the riots, which ruled Washington for days, rests upon disorderly lawless whites. Peaceable, unoffending colored men and boys were beaten up and murdered by brutes who boast of our white civilization. A reign of hysteria and terror prevailed throughout the sections of the city where the colored population resides. They feared a "new East St. NO.48. Louis." They armed themselves as best they could and barricaded their homes. There were colored soldiers among them who had served with distinction in France, some of whom had been wounded "fighting to make the world safe for democracy." While the United States Senate is debating the League of Nations, which would make us the custodians of peace and the instructors in democratic ideals to less enlightened peoples, we were murdering innocent, intelligent, God fearing, law abiding colored citizens at the back door of the White House. "And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me cast out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. As you would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets." SOUTH'S PAPERS UP IN ARMS TO STOP MOB RULE. Tulsa, Okla., Sept. 10.—Newspapers in some of the Southern states are advocating a law to stop lynchings, and it doubtless would be very effective. The law is one for the removal of all sheriffs in counties where lynchings take place. This might work a hardship on the sheriff, but it would make all of them alert to prevent lynchings. Under present conditions the sheriffs nearly always make a show of resisting a mob, but it is merely pretense and nothing more. The sheriffs usually deliver the victim to the mob without much trouble, and not once in a hundred times is any member of the mob hurt by an officer while engaged in taking victims from jail to be lynched. The sheriff knows that the men in the mob are the voters who elected him to office. He may know them personally and recognize them, but he does not consider it his duty to endanger himself or the lives of the men in the mob in an effort to protect the prisoner. An automatic removal of law, however, would put a different face upon the matter. If the sheriff would lose his office through permitting prisoners to be lynched, the chances are that he would protect them and that there would be no lynchings. Congress cannot enact any such law, but the states can, and the white race will be the chief beneficiary under it. The whites are disgraced more by lynchings than are the blacks who are their victims. Such a law would of course call for the right kind of men being elected to the office of sheriff. The man elected to that office would go in with his eyes open, and with full knowledge of the law. Those who elected him would also understand it and the mobs would know what to expect when they went to the jail and demanded of the sheriff that he turn over the keys. The sheriff who tamely submitted, as sheriffs do now, would find himself out of office the next day. FOREIGN Marshal Foch has recently asked the Belgian government to have a search made for the body of his son, who was killed in August, 1914, in the Belgian Ardennes. The Porto Rico government has announced that the last sugar crop aggregated 406,000 short tons, or 37,000 tons less than the 1918 crop. It added that shipments to date had been 341,000 tons. figures voiced by American Red Cross workers and forwarded to national headquarters. Most of these returned to their homes to find themselves orphans, and the Red Cross is seeking to aid them by the establishment of orphanages. An American company having a capital of $100,000,000 is being organized in Poland to extend credits to Polish cities so they may meet their necessities, especially for the construction of canals, water plants and hospitals, according to the Vossische Zeitung of Berlin. Extension of relief activities in western Russia and the Baltic provinces has resulted in the American Red Cross increasing the appropriation for its commission in that region from $270,000 to $500,000, it has been announced. Both Esthonia and Lithuania will benefit. Russian troops on the Archangel front are carrying out a successful offensive against the Bolshevik in the railway sector, says an Archangel message received in Paris. Russian volunteer troops, it is announced, have occupied the town of Onega, which was taken by the Bolshevik in one of their recent pushes northward. Alberta's wheat yield a few weeks ago was estimated as being practically negligible, but two weeks fairly steady rains so improved the situation that the yield is conservatively estimated at 21,948,000 bushels, while the yield of outs is estimated at 56,220,000, barley 7,051,000 and rye 750,000. These figures are certain to be exceeded as the threshing results are exceeding expectations. GENERAL Figures have been compiled showing that upward of $18,000,000 worth of automobiles were stolen last year. Jack Kearns, manager of Champion Jack Dempsey, has refused to consider an offer of $150,000 for a championship bout in London, according to reports in New York. The wreck of the steamer Barnstable, disabled in a storm en route to Havana, has been located by the revenue cutter Itasca and one survivor rescued. Eleven others of the crew are believed lost. Capt. Kermit Roosevelt has been appointed secretary of the American Ship and Commerce Corporation, the holding company of the Cramps' Ship-building Company and the Kerr Navigation Company. One soldier, Oliver Eager, 19, is dead and five others are in the hospital at Fort Benjamin Harrison as a result of drinking poison which it is said they mistook for whisky. The men were prisoners. Thousands of shipyard workers who quit work in Brooklyn, Staten Island and New Jersey yards in an attempt to force a demand for a Saturday half holiday, found themselves discharged when they reported for work. A bomb was found at the rear entrance to the federal building directly under the window of District Judge M. B. Blanding's office at Lawton, Okla. A percussion cap was in place, but the mechanism to explode it had not been attached. Two men were killed and six injured by the explosion of a six-inch shell which was being unloaded from a barge in the Raritan river at the Raritan arsenal at Bonhamtown, N. J. The ammunition on the barge was being transferred to one of the magazines. The victims of the accident all were civilian employés. Burial of the dead at Mobile, Ala., on Sunday is punishable by a fine of $100 under a city ordinance just adopted. Passage of the ordinance was the result of a petition to the city commission by ministers, undertakers and grave diggers. Demobilization of the navy has demoralized the Atlantic fleet so far as man power is concerned, it has been said at the Navy Department. Scores of battleships, cruisers, destroyers and other vessels are moored at navy yards with crews so greatly reduced that in many casts it is difficult, and in some cases impossible to keep up steam. Only two battleships of the Atlantic fleet have anywhere near full crews. "If anyone attempts to raise the red flag of anarchy in this country, shoot him on the spot," declared Clarendon E. Adams, commander-in-chief of the G. A. R., in ending his annual address of the national encampment of the G. A. R. at Columbus, Ohio. Deafening cheers, which fairly shook Memorial hall, followed this declaration of the Grand Army chief. Atlantic City has been selected for the 1920 annual encampment of the G. A. R. Johnny Kilbane of Cleveland, world featherweight boxing champion, knocked out Frankie Burns of Jersey City in the fifth round of an eight-round match at the Jersey City baseball park. Burns arose before the count of ten, but the referee stopped the contest, as Burns was helpless. The House of Commons of Canada assented without reservation to the treaty of peace with Germany. Both houses of Parliament now have ratified the treaty and notification to this effect was forwarded immediately to the British government.

Swallowing a small piece of toothpick was a blessing in disguise for Donald Cullings of Sioux City. The toothpick lodged in Cullings' throat while he was at dinner recently. He coughed violently, choked and nearly strangled before the bit of wood was dislodged from his throat. But with its removal, Cullings' voice, lost after a gas attack during the St. Mihiel drive, had returned. Cullings was gassed at St. Mihiel Sept. 12, 1918. Since that time he had been forced to speak only in a husky whisper. WASHINGTON Great Britain has withdrawn the prohibition on the re-exportation of American cotton from her domains.

The factory will contract 4,000 acres in the vicinity of the town. It is planned to have the factory ready to handle beets in the fall of 1920. As Fort Lupton already has two canneries and a large milk condensary, the new sugar factory will make it the biggest manufacturing center in the county. Gold ore worth $24,000 per ton is reported as having been found within the last few days in the Portland mine at a depth of 2,100 feet. The discovery was made in the drift south from the No. 2 shaft and not far from the Independence mine north end lines.

ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. One Colorado county, Weld, reports through its county assessor 431 silos this year and the number is being constantly increased. The silo is becoming an important factor in the agricultural development of the state, particularly in the counties east of the mountains and in a few counties in the Grand river watershed. The 1919 sugar beet crop in Colorado will break all previous records, according to reports received from the four beet sugar producing companies of the state. The prediction of a banner yield is considered remarkable, in view of the drought and the destruction wrought by the web-worm in certain localities. THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE COLORADO STATESMAN Under new regulations announced by officials of the Colorado National Guard members of the guard are to receive regular pay under the provisions of the national defense act of June 1916, provided drill requirements are met. Pay for privates will be one fourth that allowed men in the regular army. Despondent because of ill health, Joseph L.

The federal census bureau reported 5,631 acres of broom corn in 1909 grown in thirteen counties. County as sessors report approximately 15,000 acres this year grown in twenty-seven counties. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. While illegally hunting ducks, it is said, fifteen miles north of Durango Frank McConnell, aged 38, and owner of a poolroom in Silverton, lost his life in a mysterious drowning. A meeting of the pioneers of northwestern Colorado will be held in Steamboat on October 9 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James H. Crawford, the founder of Steamboat Springs and among the first settlers in northwestern Colorado. Pioneers, although their number is growing fewer every year, will come from all over the county to talk over the old days when this country was but a wilderness. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. The Rocky Mountain Lumber Company, of which a number of influential Weld county business men are the principal officers, have closed a transaction with the government for the purchase of 28,000,000 feet of standing timber on the upper forks of Elk river. This company already has employed a large number of men and expects to cut 5,000,000 feet this winter. Three-quarters of a million pictures were taken in and around Colorado Springs this summer, according to estimates of local camera shops, where for three months, double shifts of workmen have been engaged in an effort to keep up with the clicking of 30,000 shutters. Not less than fifty miles of film were exposed. TWODOLLARSAYEAR THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE LABORING MASSES A forty-foot masonry smokestack at the rear of the Greeley Elks building crashed to the earth filling alleys between the Weld county court house and the Elks building with debris. Several people narrowly escaped being struck by the falling column of brick and mortar. Seventy-five hundred bushels of wheat, valued at $16,000, have been stolen from fields near Brighton within the last few weeks, according to complaint made to Sheriff T. A. Gormley. Eleven complaint have been made to date. "Ladies' Aid" Is a Fifth Wheel in the Machinery of a Political Party By MARY GARRETT HAY, Eastern Political Leader will be beneficial to women. On the other hand women have the strong humanitarian instincts, a love for clean moral standards and a passion for improving and reforming. Women can check men's predatory business tendencies; men can check women's visionary schemes. If the two sexes co-operate in a cordial, earnest fashion we may expect splendid results. Because I so thoroughly believe in the co-operation of the sexes in politics I am continually urging women to enroll in the parties and to work for them. Let women enter the parties and work from within to reform them if they think there is need of reform. Women, like men, who do not stand aside and idly criticize, but who roll up their sleeves and work, are today the most useful citizens and the best patriots. Wood for Aircraft Propeller Blades Adds to Our Forestry Problem We have just seen four sets of propeller blades take the giant dirigible R-34 across the ocean and back. These eight blades are made of wood. The experts have found nothing to take the place of wood in those blades. I do not believe they ever will. Those blades are but seven feet long, but much more wood than that is used in turning them and finding just what will stand the terrific tests. A propeller makes about 1,700 revolutions a minute. The whirr of propeller blades will soon be multiplied by a million, and they carry a message to the business world that must be answered. With over-ocean transportation demonstrated the peace burden placed upon the forests of this country will make the call upon them due to war seem insignificant, and one of the biggest reconstruction problems before the country today is a national forest policy. The lake states now import lumber from other sections of the country. Experts estimate the supply of southern pine will be exhausted within the next fifteen years. New England no longer produces enough lumber for her own needs. The center of the lumber industry is rapidly moving toward the Pacific coast. In the wood-using industry there are few concerns that can point to a five-year supply. They give work to thousands of people, and export products valued at $130,000,000 every year, to say nothing of the home market. The United States exported three and one-half billion board feet of lumber and saw logs a year before the war. Europe's need now will be around seven billion feet a year for some time. Many of the forests of France have been destroyed and the American Forestry association is collecting a fund to help reforest the devastated areas. There is an end to all things, and there is certainly coming an end to our forest supply if the question of a national forest policy is not solved and solved quickly. The greatest achievements the American people made during the war were not the result of legislation but of the united and determined will of our people to do all the things and make all the sacrifices necessary to the winning of the war. If that spirit can be recaptured in this crisis we will avert the grave dangers which threaten us in the high and increasing prices of the necessaries of life. Let the farmer reflect that any further increase in the price of the products of his farm, though it may mean a temporary profit, may also mean future disaster to him. Let the business man realize that every avoidable increase in the price of a necessity of life he either produces or sells is as much a menace to the future peace of society as the bomb of the anarchist. In this crisis no man is justified in raising prices unless he must do so to avoid closing down his business. I want to say, with all the emphasis that I can command, that it is not a question now of present profits, but the real question is the preservation of business. Let labor realize that an increase in wages at this time affords but temporary relief. For such increase, too, results inevitably in an increased cost of living If our people generally, without reference to class, will resolve that prices of commodities have gone high enough we may be sure they will go no higher and a decline will begin. We talk much these days, and with reason, of self-restraint. That self-restraint can be exercised nowhere more wisely than in buying. If, now, the people will resolve to buy for the present only the things they must have; if they will cease to anticipate the future; if they will practice thrift and economy, profiteering everywhere will be baffled. Col. John V. Clinnin, One Hundred and Thirtieth Infantry, Prairie division—Military training itself instills the spirit of patriotism, obedience to proper authority and discipline, a regard for law and order which is the basis of good citizenship. The military physical training system insures the development of strong bodies in which may be incased the brilliant intellect of the American citizen. It breaks down the walls of racial and religious prejudice, and truly makes men equal. MILITARY The Ladies' Aid is a fifth wheel in the machinery of a political party. Men and women should work together. There is no place for the Ladies' Aid in politics. Men and women should serve side by side on the committees, should labor together in the assembly districts, should together evolve plans, platforms and politics; should, in short, be political partners. Together both sexes can do better work than either acting alone. Men have had the experience, the long, practical training in political procedure. They have the business alertness, keenness, accuracy and understanding of the interrelation of things. Association with them By C. L.

Celery is said to be especially good for sufferers from nervousness and rheumatism. It is a vegetable found in the market all the year and is usually reasonable in price. It is especially good as a salad vegetable and combines with all vegetables and fruits because of its nutty flavor. Served as a fresh crisp relish it is etable found in the market all the year and is usually reasonable in price. It is especially good as a salad vegetable and combines with all vegetables and fruits because of its nutty flavor. Served as a perhaps at its best. Curled by cutting small stalks in two-inch lengths does it make a most attractive garnish. Let the celery stand in cold water for a time and the fringes will curl. The ways of combining celery with other foods is numberless. The following are suggestive: Celery Sandwiches.—Take half a cupful of white, crisp and tender celery, cut very fine; add one-fourth of a cupful of minced nuts—pecans are best—one and one-half tablespoonfuls of mayonnaise dressing; salt and cayenne to taste. Mix until well blended and use as sandwich filling on white buttered bread. Celery Fritters.—Barboil the celery until nearly cooked; after cutting into three-inch pieces season with salt and pepper and dip in fritter batter. Fry in deep fat and drain on brown paper. Serve hot. Creamed Celery in a Cheese Shell. Use the shell of a pineapple or Edam cheese for a receptacle. Cook the celery until tender; add it to a rich cream sauce with a cupful of parboiled oysters. Pour into the shell, cover with buttered crumbs and bake until the crumbs are brown. Do not have the oven too hot or the cheese will melt or burn and the beauty of the dish will be spoiled. Celery and Grapefruit Salad. Take three sections of grapefruit with the membrane removed; arrange in a nest of head lettuce with nicely shredded celery and a few shredded almonds that have been blanched. Put a ball of mayonnaise in the center and serve well chilled. Scrambled Eggs With Celery—Melt one tablespoonful of butter, add four tablespoonfuls of chopped celery; cook slowly for 15 minutes; add four eggs, a half cupful of milk, stir until set, season with salt, pepper and butter and serve at once. Celery parboiled and used as an escalloped dish with white sauce and cheese is a dish good enough to serve more frequently. People who do not take time to eat and sleep, presently are obliged to take time to die. People who from false notions of economy live upon improper food, are shortly put to the greater expense of a funeral.—Olive Green. "Can't tell how an oyster makes his shell? Not nor I neither." "A DOZEN OF DIVINE POINTS." May is the spawning season for oysters and in June, July and August they are never as good, lacking flavor, which is nature's way of protecting her own. Of the ways of cooking and serving oysters there is no end. For a good, lacking flavor, which is nature's way of protecting her own. Of the ways of cooking and serving oysters there is no end. For a light supper, served from the chafing dish, they seem especially adapted. Royal Stew.—Place the oysters in the chafing dish with enough of the liquor to float them in the pan. Chop a head of celery, add a heaping tablespoonful of chopped red pepper. As the liquid in the pan is heating, add two tablespoonfuls of butter, salt and pepper to season, and when thoroughly hot fill the pan with sweet milk. Add the celery and pepper and when boiling hot and well blended add a spoonful of currant jelly and serve at once. Oyster Toddle.—Dice one-quarter of a pound of salt pork and cook slowly until well tried out. Add one pint of sliced raw potatoes, cover and cook in the fat until tender. Pour in a pint of hot milk, thicken with a tablespoonful each of butter and flour cooked together. Add a pint of oysters and when the edges curl, season and serve at once. Creole Oysters.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add a slice of onion minced, and cook until a pale yellow. Add a teaspoonful of flour and a cupful of tomato. When well cooked add a pint of drained oysters and cook until the edges curl. Add a drop of tabasco sauce, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley and serve on toast. Oyster Short Cake.—Make a short cake baked in thinner layers than the regular cake. Split and butter generously as soon as baked. Curl the oysters in their own liquor and arrange them on the cake; cover and pour over a thickened white sauce, using the liquor and milk or cream with butter and flour cooked together for thickening. Fried Oysters.—Try dipping the oysters in milk instead of egg and then in crumbs and fry in hot butter; the change will be very agreeable.

A Chicago boy of six was being shown through the Art institute by his mother, who stopped before one of the "old masters" and, after explaining the beauty and value of the picture, said: "Now, dearle, won't you promise to remember all I have told you about this picture?" The young hopeful said: "Yes, I will if you will promise never to bring me here again." Outspoken Athenian. More than twenty-three hundred years ago a young Athenian, speaking of his wife, said to Socrates: "When I saw that she had powder on her face to make it whiter and rouge to make it redder, and that she wore high-heeled shoes to appear taller, I told her it was as dishonorable for her to try to deceive me about her beauty as for me to try to deceive her about my property. I added that, although her arts might impose upon others, they could not impose upon me, who saw her at all times."—Youth's Companion. Opposed Brothers' Church Opposed Brother. There were three of the Wesleys, although only two of them had anything to do with founding the Methodist church. Sons of an English clergyman, and well educated, they were all pious men, but the older brother, Samuel, took no stock in "Methodism." In fact, he combated it, and wrote of it upon one occasion as "a spreading delusion." To Be of Influence. If you can't swing things your way in life the sensible thing is to swing with things the way they are going. To be sure you can just abruptly cut away, but that leaves you out of touch with things. It may be a relief to your conscience to be beyond the reach of compromise. But you are also beyond the reach of influence. You can not hope to be able to mold character or even contribute anything toward bending it. Silverite a New Metal. A new development in the alloying of aluminum with other metals has just been accomplished by the production of "silverite." This metal is something entirely new and is composed of a mixture of aluminum and copper, zinc and steel in varying proportions, according to requirements. The alloying of steel with aluminum is somewhat startling and at first thought seems to be impossible, yet it is successful. Most Famous Chinese Dish Most Famous Chinese Dish. What has been considered by Oriental epicures as the daintiest dish in China, the birds' nest, is the product of the sea swallow, which constructs its nest of a gelatinous substance taken from sea moss. The Chinese method of preparing the nests for the table is to soak them and boil them in milk until they are very tender. Then they are placed in clear soup and are ready for use. On his trip to China, General Grant was much feted, and one of the dishes set before him was the birds' nest. THE HOME OF SOCIETY BRAND CLOTHES ARGONNE FOREST WAR PICTURES Big War Story in Pictures.

GOVERNOR SHOUP DENOUNCES PUEBLO MOB. MEN like Governor Shoup of Colorado, who are fearless in their denouncing of wrong whether from the individual, a group of persons, organizations or otherwise, will help to rid this country of that class of its citizens that is always exposing our country to the contempt and ill opinion of other peoples and nations. In deploring the action of the Pueblo mob that lynched two Mexicans last Saturday by hanging them from a bridge after overpowering the jail authorities and taking the men out, they being charged with the murder of a policeman, the governor declared the act an outrage, and is prepared to use the full extent of his power to bring the mob and its leaders before the bar of justice. The mob spirit is becoming alarming, as it is demonstrating its don't-care action over the country, but the firm hand, the upright executive, the conscientious and true American, will assert his power, given by loyal and law-abiding citizens, to preserve the integrity of a people, a state, against the savage-like, horrifying tendencies of a few members of a community who have no respect for law, who fear not God, or know no other fear. Coloradoans of the better class and type are with the governor and will support him in his action. MEXICANS NOW—IT MAY BE OTHERS NEXT. THE SCHOOL BOND ISSUE ELECTION TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23. WHATEVER we do for our children today will have its effect on the nation tomorrow, and while we are fully aware of the financial responsibility coming at this time, yet we are not afraid as taxpayers to shoulder a little more for the purpose of insuring comfortable, safe and sanitary buildings in which our children are to be taught, as well as the improvement of our educational advantages, the result of which will more than repay our city, our nation, for this necessary investment which will permanently be beneficial to us. All taxpayers, whether on property or personal taxes, will be called upon next Tuesday to vote for or against this bond issue of $8,000,000, and every man and woman with love for home, realizing what they owe to their children, to the welfare of this community, to the progress of our country and the betterment of its citizens, should do everything in their power to secure the successful carrying of this bond by an overwhelming majority. A clear and unmistakable proof of the advantages of a sound education was given to the world in the late war when the American youth, by his training and education, made such a wonderful showing, and the importance of education to a nation impressed the world to an extraordinary degree, thereby causing commissions from foreign lands to visit our country to study our educational system and plan. Having on the roll of taxpayers a very fair percentage of the people of our race, we would remind them that this momentous question affects us, and if we be governed by the enemies of education for the American, irrespective of his race or color, we will be giving the weapon which will not only assault us, but will defeat us for all time in the acquisition of that which makes us strong in mind, in intellect, in spirit. It is, then, a pleasant duty for us to perform next Tuesday, September 23rd, in going to the polls early and preserve and maintain the only institution of the world that will break down the great WALL OF PREJUDICE and bring about a harmony in which we will unite. THE LAW BECOMING LAWLESS. THE other day, when we heard of a county judge and a constable in Austin, Texas, defying the very law of which they were dispensers when they inflicted a severe beating on Mr. Shillady, the white secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, we were alarmed and very much incensed over it, not merely the physical abuse, because we know Texas and her famous penchant, but the act being performed by LAW AGENTS and LAW AUTHORITIES. Now we are confronted with another phase of lawlessness—the Boston police force, nineteen of whom went on the strike because of non-recognition of their affiliation with a labor union. The policeman, like everybody else, has his faults, his off days, his phases of crime, as condoning with the mob, etc., but we must confess that we never thought that he would take such a stand in opposition to the very oath which he took when he first donned his uniform. The aid and comfort given to crime, to the enemies of society, were clearly demonstrated when immediately following the strike of the Boston police a crime wave swept over the city—looting, gambling, outraging and assaulting women, and other dastard crimes appearing on the scene. But in the words of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., who spoke to us last week in Denver, "Rioting is rioting, lawlessness is lawlessness, and every true American patriot must suppress this and blot it out of the country before attempting anything else, as this strikes at the very root of our civilization, at the very foundation of our American institutions," we are bound to praise Commissioner of Police Curtis, the municipal authorities, the governor and the people of the State of Massachusetts for their wisdom in refusing to reinstate the STRIKING COPS. Labor unions may be all right, but when their heads and their organizations encourage policemen to strike for recognition as a labor union, we surely can see what would happen if the power they are continually clamoring for should be given them. The Denver police force has its organizations, which are very beneficial to themselves and receive the support of the public whenever called upon, and under the present guidance of a manager of safety and chief of police who command the respect of this community, cannot give sympathy to their former colleagues who have acted so injudiciously and unwisely.

They did not have to carry it far, because before they invaded Britain they had conquered Gaul, the France of modern times, and the Gauls were growing large crops of wheat when the Romans crossed to the western islands. The Britons began to grow wheat, and the Saxons continued the work. Still, through the Middle ages the bread of the poorer classes was made of flour from the coarser grains. Holland Coal.

WELL-MADE SAUCES AND DRESSINGS ADD ZEST TO FISH AND VEGETABLE DISHES Y Even on a Hot Night the Sight of a Crisp Salad Will Stimulate the Appetite. Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture. Appetizing sauces and dressings are the means used by the experienced cook to transform plain and ordinary dishes into something fit for an epilogue. The piquancy of a well-made sauce adds to the flavor of fish and vegetables and increases their palatability. Here are some suggestions by specialists of the United States department of agriculture: Hollandaise Sauce. ½ cupful butter. 1 cupful boiling water. 2 eggs (yolks). 1/2 tablespoonfuls 1 teaspoonful salt. lemon juice. 1/15 teaspoonful cess over again, beginning with a fresh yolk in a cream bowl, adding a little of the curdled dressing at a time and stirring constantly. Cooked Salad Dressing. ¼ tablespoonful mustard. ½ teaspoonful cayenne pepper. ¼ tablespoonful salt. 2 eggs. 2 tablespoonfuls flour. 2 tablespoonfuls butter. 1 tablespoonful sugar. ½ cupful vinegar. ¼ cupful sweet milk. Rub together the dry ingredients and add egg yolks, slightly beaten. Add the sugar, melted butter, cold milk, and hot vinegar in the order named, stirring until perfectly smooth. Cream the butter, add the yolks one at a time and beat well; then add the lenion juice, salt and pepper. A short time before serving add boiling water. Cook over boiling water and stir until the mixture is of the consistency of custard, then serve immediately. This is a delicious dressing to serve with cauliflower, asparagus tips, or with fish. Egg Sauce for Fish. 1½ cupful butter. 1½ cupfuls boiling 2 tablespoonfuls water. flour. 1/3 teaspoonful salt. 3 hard cooked eggs (cut in 1/2 inch slices).

In Her First Year Monnie Stallings Won Medal for Largest Number of Tomatoes Canned From Tenth-Acre Plot of Ground. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) "I have dressed myself, paid for music lessons, bought books and thrift stamps, helped my mother, who is a widow, and have enough to pay my expenses in college next year," was the Canning Club Members at Work. answer of a club girl in Franklin county, North Carolina, when asked how she had used the money she had made in canning during the past five years. This girl, Monnie Stallings, a member of a canning club conducted by cess over again, beginning with a fresh yolk in a cream bowl, adding a little of the curdled dressing at a time and stirring constantly. Rub together the dry ingredients and add egg yolks, slightly beaten. Add the sugar, melted butter, cold milk, and hot vinegar in the order named, stirring until perfectly smooth. Cook the mixture in a double boiler until thickened. Set the pan into a bowl of cold water and beat well until cool and smooth.

Cool quickly by placing pan into cold water, beating the mixture at the same time. This dressing is combined with fruits to be served as salads or desserts. Some attractive fruit combinations are: Canned peaches, cherries, and fresh apples, using cherry juice with the lemon in the dressing. Canned figs, fresh oranges, and pecans, using orange juice in the dressing. Guava, pineapple, and grapefruit, using pineapple juice in the dressing. Canned berries or fresh grapes, apples, and pears, using scuppernong juice in the dressing. Any of these dishes may be made especially attractive by garnishing them with nuts, whole cherries, berries, or marshmallows. the United States department of agriculture and the North Carolina Agricultural college, has a fine five-year canning record. She joined a canning club in the spring of 1914, when the work was new, and canned 550 No. 3 cans of tomatoes from her tenth-acre that year. She was awarded the medal for the largest number of jars canned from a tenth-acre plot, and also won a number of merchandise prizes. The next year she canned 1,000 cans, and again won the medal for canning the largest number of cans in the county. Her exhibit in glass won $16 in cash prizes. In 1916 her canning exhibit won several prizes—a pure-bred Jersey heifer, worth $100; a college scholarship in domestic science, and $5 in cash. The fourth year 1,300 cans were filled, and an exhibit of them won blue ribbons at her township fair and $27 in cash at the county fair. In the summer of 1918, although it was a bad fruit year in North Carolina, she canned 1,000 cans and won a medal and subscriptions to magazines.

GREAT LESSON OF WAR OVERLOOKED CHIEF FAULT IN THE GENERAL STAFF ARMY BILL POINTED OUT BY THE EXPERTS. BUREAU HEADS ARE SHIFTING Army Officers Are Admittedly Not Good at Business, Yet Would Be Called On to Handle Big Industrial and Financial Affairs. EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—The general staff has sent to congress a bill for the reorganization of the regular army. As a matter of fact this bill outlines for the United States such a future military policy as the authorities of the war department would like to see enacted into law. There are many reasons today why a bill for the reorganization of the regular army should be of vitally greater interest to the people of the United States than ever before. The country is divided into various camps of opinion on the subject of the army of the future. The army has its viewpoint; labor has its viewpoint; the man who believes in sane preparedness has his viewpoint; the pacifist has his viewpoint, and the so-called antimilitarists have their viewpoint. The army bill as finally adopted will have a marked influence in the next presidential campaign for the good or evil of this candidate or that candidate. It is not proper for one who has had comparatively little military service and is far from being an expert along any military lines to attempt to pass judgment on technical matters as they appear in this proposed legislation, but there has been one lesson drawn from this great war, and which it has been supposed everybody had learned, that seems on the face of things, it is said, to have been ignored by the army authorities who drew this legislation and sent it to congress. One Great Lesson Ignored. If there was one thing which this war taught more sharply and specifically than it taught anything else it was that army officers with their training are not necessarily good business men. An American army officer, as the records of the regulars will show from the time that the records began, are good fighters, but that they have business heads of the leaders of great corporations no one need deceive themselves in believing for a moment. The officers themselves say they are not "good at business." It is proposed in the bill now before congress that the chiefs or heads of all bureaus, and this means technical bureaus as well as others, shall be line officers—cavalrymen, artillerymen, infantrymen, etc., without any fixed time to remain in office and consequently subject to removal at any time. Now, what does this mean? It means that the duties of the judge advocate general's department, the finance department, the motor transport corps, the ordnance department, the chemical warfare service, the duties of the signal corps, the tank corps and the quartermaster corps are to be performed by detail from the active fighting service, and that the men so detailed are to hold their positions perhaps just long enough to become efficient, and then possibly are to go back to the work from which they were called. Heretofore in the service the only fixed departments, so far as their personnel was concerned, were those of surgery and medicine and the engineer corps. It is held by army officers and civilians who have studied the lessons of the war that there are other departments of the army which require a personnel which shall be fixed in its tenure of office. Domestic Problem Most Pressing. A shadow came over the League of Nations and the peace pact situation in the United States senate on the day that President Wilson wrote his answer and appeal to the railroad shopmen. Interest in the League of Nations had been at the high water mark for weeks. Suddenly the shadow passed over it and, temporarily at least, eclipsed it, for every official in Washington realized a serious domestic situation had arisen which demanded immediate attention and, if possible, a remedy. The views concerning the matter of increased wages for the multitude of Americans who today are serving the government, indirectly at least, because Uncle Sam has taken hold of certain hitherto privately-run corporations, are various, but no one is to be found who does not admit that the wage must be equal to the demands of living comfortably and well, as an American citizen should live. It is recognized, however, in Washington that it does not make any difference to a man, so far as his power to save is concerned, if he is getting $10 per day and is spending $0, or is getting $5 per day and is spending $4, provided, of course, that the two expenditures bring exactly the same return. Advancing wages and advancing high costs of living have been called a vicious circle. The desire of the legislators is, of course, to clip the wings of soaring prices and yet keep wages where year by year the wage-earner can save a little more money. It is said by some legislators in Washington today that the seilers of necessal- ties watch the increase in wages and push up their prices accordingly. Washington has been in a tense mood for some time over the general situation in the country. It is not too much to say that men have been fearful, and yet the always abiding belief in that stable Americanism, as the word applies itself to all things good in this country, will continue to keep the people acting stably and thinking stably until the righteous end of adjustment is reached. There are varying views as to whether or not what may be called the "bolshevik unrest" in parts of Europe is really having any real effect in the United States. Some congressmen say that everything that happens in this country, that is in the least bit unusual, instantly is attributed to bolshevik tendencies. In France, where for some months I was a soldier, the French people met every happening with the proverbial Gallic shrug of the shoulders and the statement "C'est la guerre." So, according to the viewpoint of some of the officials in Washington, the "Cest la guerre" of France can be transplanted to the United States and translated into "It is bolshevism." It must be remembered that if a Frenchman stubbed his toe on a loose brick in the sidewalk he muttered "Cest la guerre." So today, while it may be there is peril, the American who stubs his toe says "It is bolshevism." Wilson's Coast to Coast Trip. President Wilson's "swing round the circle," which has just started will take the better part of a month for its completion. Counting the Potomac river as part of the Atlantic coast, the speaking tour can be called a coast to coast mission. While it is generally understood that the president means to speak primarily in behalf of the covenant of the League of Nations and the peace pact, it is pretty generally believed that he will take the opportunity to discuss other subjects, particularly the high cost of living and the general economic unrest. Time and again presidents have started out to speak on one subject and have ended by speaking on a dozen. Johnson First To "Swing." Johnson First To "Swing." There have been some notable presidential tours of the country. "Swing round the circle" was an expression first used by President Andrew Johnson, who undertook a tour through the country to champion before the people his reconstruction policies which were widely at variance with the reconstruction idea of the congress then in power. With him on that tour, among others, were Gen. Ulysses S. Grant, who succeeded Johnson as president, and Gideon Welles, secretary of the navy. It was not altogether a pleasant journey, for Grant and Welles hardly were on speaking terms, and it was said that Grant felt he was being taken along to help bolster up the president's cause with the people. Since that day "swinging round the circle" has been used in connection with presidential trips. When Grant was president he made several comparatively short trips for what may be called public purposes. He was not a speaker, or at any rate he thought he was not, and he was timid about attempting a public address of any great length. It was Grant's habit to travel when reunions of various federal armies of the Civil war were to be held at this place or that place. At these gatherings he would get a chance to see many of his old comrades in arms. Arthur First To Be Guarded. It was not until Arthur's day that it was thought necessary closely to guard a president while he was on his journey. Arthur's first trip of any great length after he had succeeded to the office of president upon Garfield's death, was a journey along the Atlantic coast on either a revenue cutter or small navy vessel with landings at many places. With Garfield's recent assassination so vividly in mind, Arthur was guarded on this trip more closely than any president was guarded before or has been since. Grover Cleveland was something of a traveler, however, whenever he felt the public duty demanded. Benjamin Harrison was a good deal of a traveler. One thing is to be noted in connection with his presidential trips, and it is a curious thing at that. He made many little rear-platform addresses to the people assembled at the railroad stations along his route. It is said today that these little speeches are the best ones in point of force and good English, taking them altogether, of any "presidential literature." In recent years the habit of travel has grown on presidents of the United States. Roosevelt was something of an itinerant. He wanted to take his vacations in the West, and on two or three occasions he made his vacation trips fit in with the demands of the people in certain localities that he speak to them. Two of Roosevelt's trips were cut short: one of them when in Massachusetts when a trolley car ran into his carriage, killing one of his traveling companions and throwing the president out, badly injuring his knee. The second interruption was attributable to the accident which he met with in Massachusetts. While in Indiana, the knee which had been hurt showed indications of violent inflammation. The doctors decided that the colonel must return to Washington for a slight operation, and this was done. Mr. Taft, up to President Wilson's time, was known as the "Great American traveler," a name shifted from George Francis Train. President Wilson has crossed the seas twice since he was president.

With the professors criminal. Another-group contends that the breaking of a promise made under duress is justifiable. Then there is a utilitarian school of thought maintaining that the bargain ought to have been carried out implicitly because the impairment of our reputation with the bandits for good faith may embarrass future negotiations to ransom our citizens. The Mexican border's contribution to the controversy was that General Dickman was seeking ways and means to pay the remainder of the ransom to the bandits. The sportsman, who has a nice sense of honor in disputed questions of this kind, will unhesitatingly say that General Dickman is right. The average American will probably say: "Pay the bandits the money and then shoot 'em."

And, while they are on the subject of teachers, the women of the chamber of commerce will fight to obtain for them a higher rate of pay. "We first had to educate the women of China," said Mrs. Gould, "who formerly believed that it was sinful to permit their feet to develop naturally. In many Chinese cities we have persuaded merchants to handle American-made shoes for women, and as the Chinese women gradually adopt the western custom a great field for the American shoe industry will be opened." Saleswomen have been sent to Turkey with a line of toilet articles and apparel and have had tremendous success. Mere men, she explained, cannot even approach the feminine Turkish customer. Navy Aviators Fight Unifying of Air Service NAVY aviators are against the proposal to concentrate the air service of the army, navy, postoffice and coast and forest fire patrols under a single executive, probably a new cabinet member. Differing kinds of service, with mine sweeper on the Irish sea, but returned to American waters in time to handle the testing of the navy airships prior to their transatlantic flights, and later in Lisbon, where they landed. "There are reports," says Captain Steele, "that the proposed congressional legislation to consolidate the air services will provide for a separate cabinet officer as head of the department of aviation, and others that say the head of the aviation department will merely be a chief, such as the various bureaus of the army and navy have. "Either of these plans, or any other plans which take aviation for the navy out of complete control of the navy department will mean the service will suffer, and such legislation should be opposed. "A navy flyer has to know how to navigate, either from the filmsy cockpit of an airship or from the bridge of a vessel. He has to know how to do navy scouting, bombing and torpedoing, coast patrol work, and finally the spotting of shots and regulation of navy fire." Captain Steel's conclusion is that the army aviator cannot know the difficulties of the navy flying game and it takes him years to learn his own.

VOTE OF THANKS TO PERSHING GENERAL MAKES SHORT ADDRESS TO JOINT ASSEMBLY IN WASHINGTON. ALL DID THEIR SHARE SAYS THANKS TENDERED HIM WAS EARNED BY VALOR OF MEN. Western Newspaper Union News Service Washington, Sept. 19.—Addressing a joint session of Congress, in acknowledgment of the formal vote of thanks tendered him, General Pershing said in part: "I am deeply sensible of the privilege of appearing before you as a representative of the American expeditionary forces and am filled with emotion at the sentiments that have been expressed. This honor affords me profound gratitude as a recognition of the achievements of our splendid army. In receiving at your hands an expression of the approval of our people I am richly rewarded. "The burdens that befell to the lot of our soldiers have been heavy and the way beset by many obstacles, but faith in the righteousness of our cause and trust in Almighty God have given us courage and inspiration." "The trials of battle demanded Spartan endurance and utmost self-sacrifice.

"The might of America lay not only in her numbers and her wealth, but also in the spirit of her people. While every man who went to France courageously did his part, behind him were millions of others eager to follow, all supported by a loyal people who deprived themselves to maintain our armies and succor our allies. "To you, gentlemen of the Congress, we owe the existence and maintenance of our armies in the field. With a clear conception of the magnitude of the struggle, you adopted the draft as the surest means of utilizing our man power; you promptly enacted wise laws to develop and apply our resources to the best effect. You appropriated the fabulous sums required for military purposes. . . . You made possible the organization and the operation by which victory was achieved. "Throughout the war the President reposed in me his full confidence and his unfailing support simplified my task. The secretary of war made repeated visits to the front, and I am deeply grateful for his wise counsel. Under him the various staffs, bureaus and departments, with all their personnel, are deserving of especial acknowledgment for the ability with which their problems were met. The officers and soldiers who served at home are entitled to their full share in the victory. . . . "Our navy performed a brilliant part in transporting troops and supplies and in maintaining our sea communications. In this arduous service the generous assistance of the seamen of Great Britain deserves our lasting appreciation. "A special tribute is due to those benevolent men and women who ministered to our soldiers at home and abroad. The welfare societies, maintained by a generous public, gave us invaluable aid. In our hospitals the surgeons and nurses . . . served with skill and fidelity." He concluded with a eulogy of the allies and a declaration that the record of America in the war would be a treasured heritage for posterity. Hold Up Canadian Express. Quebec, Canada.—Five masked men bound and gagged the mail clerks on the Ocean Limited express of the Canadian National railway near Harlaika and robbed the mail car of $75,000 in paper and silver. Shortly after the train left Harlaika, the five masked bandits smashed in the rear door of the mail car and at the point of revolvers ordered the mail clerks to hold up their hands. The bandits, seizing the bags containing the currency, jumped from the train as it slowed down in approaching St. Thomas. Will Deport Emma Goldman. St. Louis.—It has become known that a warrant for the deportation of Emma Goldman has been served on her in the Jefferson City penitentiary, where she has finished serving a two-year sentence for attempting to obstruct the army draft. Her release from the penitentiary is set for Sept. 27. Bolshevik Wreck Schools. Budapest.—With the opening of the school year in Budapest, Minister of Education Huzat finds the appalling ravages of Bolshevism in the school situation, including distribution of literature encouraging free love among the children. When the Bolshevists took over the schools on the first of April last year they forthwith wrecked the finances of the educational department; then abolished the previous system of education and burned all text books.

LONG Suits Reckon With Wool-Furs A Style Features of Girls' Coats M Wool furs, or fur fabrics, have become thoroughly established staples that manufacturers of suits and topcoats reckon with each fall in making up their lines of practical garments. Where wool furs undertake to look like the pelts they imitate they are so marvelously close to the original that it requires a careful inspection to distinguish between them. Sealskin is mitated in wool fur that keeps one guessing, unless it is almost within arm's length, and there are furs almost as successfully mitated. But sometimes the manufacturers of wool fur use a genuine fur only as an inspiration and interpret it in a fabric that is handsomer than the original. This is what has been done in the case of the material that resembles the natural muskrat pelt, which is used so much for coats. As a trimming for cloth suits wool furs prove more practical than real furs, from the standpoint of service, and a handsome wool fur is better looking than a cheap fur. It stands Style Features The point that is mainly interesting about coats for girls and misses lies in their new style features, for they are developed in all of the soft, limp coatings that lend themselves to draping or smocking or shirrings. Velpurs or duvetyn, and similar cloths with new names, make variety in the choice of coatings but do not provide a great amount of dissimilarity, so that it is design and style that must serve to distinguish them. Besides these hand-some and dressy fabrics there are the dependable tweeds and homespuns in sturdy coats for school, that are presented in trim and comfortable models. Something new in design in coats for the "Junior miss"—which is the new and dignified name by which the flapper now finds herself placed—is shown in the picture above. With it there is a pretty coat for a little girl, made of velours with bands of nutria fur about the sleeves. This attractive model is ornamented with triangular inserts made of the material, shirred in parallel rows and set in at each side, above the high waistline. Below up better. Manufacturers christen their new productions with new names, for the convenience of buyers, but the public prefers to call them by the names of the furs they resemble. A smart new suit of duvetyn, shown in the picture above, is trimmed with furfelt that books like sealskin. The coat model is one of the most successful that the season has presented, with close-fitting body and a basque that falls in ripples at the sides. Rows of narrow silk braid appear on the basque and on the sleeves. In passing, it may be noted that this form of decoration has made a triumph this season, appearing persistently on the best models in frocks and suits. The rows of braid on the sleeves terminate in large bone buttons. The coat buttons up the front and looks very cozy and trim with a high choker collar of the wool fur. The belt is intreesting and pleasing. It is very narrow and fastens at the front with a most unexpected little bow tie of the material, instead of the usual button or buckle. of Girls' Coats if there are plain box plaites pressed in and reaching to the bottom of the coat at each side of the front. The small cape-collar is edged with nutria and the belt is made of the material in the coat. The heart of the flapper is sure to rejoice when she finds herself in possession of a coat that looks so altogether grown up as the model shown here for a girl of fourteen or more. It is of duvetyn, with big draped sleeves and a skirt that narrows in toward the bottom. There is a long shawl-collar and deep flaring cuffs to finish this very dignified and graceful wrap. Large buttons are sparingly used and nicely placed for use and for ornament, two of them on the narrow belt, two on the overlapped seams below the sleeves, and down the straight front of the coat. Julia Bottomley Handkerchief are very high colored. By T. T. MAXEY THE "SEA-GOING" RAILROAD. KEY WEST is nearer the eastern terminus of the Panama canal, by almost 300 miles, than any other of our gulf ports. It is separated from the main land by the Florida keys—a more or less disconnected string of islands, composed largely of coral and limestone. To reap the benefit of its strategic position, however, direct and quick transportation with the main land was necessary. A railroad was the answer. Its construction was considered impracticable and impossible. But there are men who will undertake anything. The late Henry M. Flagler furnished the funds and the work was begun in 1965. Men from many climes, material of many kinds and new methods of construction were called into service. The winds, waves, a torrid sun, many known and unknown factors had to be grappled with and solved. Even nature had to be overcome. The construction must be storm-proof. From Homestead, where the extension begins, to Key West, it is 128 miles. Jumping from island to island are 11 miles of concrete arch viaducts and six miles of steel bridges—one of which contains 243 spans. The construction of the line on the islands proper was comparatively simple. Joining the island by rail was the ticklish Job. Thanks to the genius, grit and untiring efforts of the engineers, one may now enjoy the heretofore unthinkable and unique experience of riding from Key West to Miami in about five hours on a train running, for the most part, over water instead of on land. MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK THE mountain that was God," wrote John D. Williams. "Mount Big Snow," said the Indian. At any rate, the most wonderful mountain in the United States—its hoary-headed peak piercing the blue sky to a height of almost three miles, while its base covers a hundred square miles of territory. Its isolation, standing alone as it does instead of In a range, makes its mightiness all the more impressive. Uncle Sam created a national park around it and thus preserved it as one of our greatest sights, so we can all go and see it and wonder for ourselves. Like all volcanoes, Rainier built up its cone from the material thrown out from its interior. But a terrific explosion destroyed its conelike top and greatly reduced its height. It has not been in eruption for nearly 50 years, though steam jets sometimes melt the snow at its summit and hot springs flow from its base. Twenty-eight glaciers, born from the snow which covers the mountain, radiate from its peak and form one of the largest known glacial systems. From these great ice fields there naturally lead off numerous streams and rivers which find their way, through beautiful canyons, to the lower altitudes. Below the glaciers, in an open space which circles the mountain, grow millions of gorgeous wild flowers, presenting a beautiful spectacle as well as a marvelous contrast to the snow above. Below the flowers are dense and immense forests of fir, spruce and cedar. THE AMERICAN DEAD SEA. IF YOU can imagine a lake 100 miles long, 25 miles wide, with an average depth of 20 feet—60 feet is the greatest depth recorded—almost 1,000 miles inland and 4,250 feet above sea level, you can form some conception of this world marvel—Great Salt lake. Its waters are six times as salty as the ocean. Put five buckefulfs in a tank, let it evaporate and one buckeful of pure salt will be left. A bath in its binyant waters is both delightful and exhilarating. Saltair—an immense, crescent-shaped, domed and towered bathing pavilion—has been built out into the lake 2,000 feet from shore. The lake contains eight islands. Four rivers empty fresh water into it, but its surface neither rises nor falls. Having no outlet, it gets rid of the excess water by evaporation. Scientists figure that the lake contains more than 8,000,000,000 tons of salt and almost 800,000,000 tons of sulphate of soda. Allowing 60 tons to a carload, that would be 133,333,333 cars of salt and 13,333,333 cars of soda. Assuming 40 feet as the average length of a freight car and you have a train of salt 1,010,101 miles tong and a train of soda 101,010 miles long. The average speed of a freight train is about 20 miles an hour. Running at this speed, day and night, it would take the two trains over six years to pass a given point. The value of these cargoes would be probably $10,000,000,000. OUR MIGHTIEST HOT SPRING. ALMOST in the center of Wyoming, near a bend in the Big Horn river and 4,350 feet above sea level, nature brought to the surface, for the benefit of all humanity, her most notable work in the hot-spring line. Here, from a rough-edged opening approximately 25 feet in diameter, and which may come through from China for all any- body knows—since it has been sounded to a depth of 1,000 feet and no bottom found, there bubbles forth about 18,000,000 gallons of 135-degree hot water, possessing untold medicinal value, every 24 hours. This health fount was discovered by a wandering band of Indians. When the white man came he named it "Big Horn Hot Spring," because the water was finally tumbled over a 40-foot cliff in a beautiful waterfall to the river below. A city was built by the river They called it Thermopolis (Hot City) because of its nearness to the spring. The government purchased the trace on which the spring is located in 1887 Washakie, chief of the Shoshone agreed only on condition that a portion of the water be reserved forever free for public use. Later, when the government ceded the land to the state the same clause was inserted in the patent. Thus this great nature-made anti-toxin for many illies which beset humanity has been preserved for the use of everybody for all time. A natural admixture of sulphur, lime, magnesia, iron and silica, this water possesses exceptional restorative properties in the treatment of blood and skin diseases and rheumatism. GLACIER NATIONAL PARK GLACIER is one of the newer of our great "outdoor museums" or national parks. Scattered throughout its 1,400 square miles is a jumble of mountains, glaciers, rivers, lakes and waterfalls which looks like "the Great Builder had left the odds and ends of his world making here in one disordered heap." A newspaper man toiled hard to reach the top of one of the skyland trails. Resting on a boulder and looking far out over the forests, across a flower-carpeted valley to a superbly beautiful mountain lake, he declared he had discovered "Where God sat when he made America." The dominating feature of Glacier is its magnificently carved mountains. It contains some of the most tremendous panoramas in the world. Some of its peaks remind one of cathedral, others of forts and castles. The suns and winds of hundreds of years have tinted their summits with varying hues. Often their sides are covered with great, slow-moving glaciers—ice fields, some of which travel fully five inches in a year. Between or below them are splendid forests of pine. The meadows between these wooded patches are a riot of wild flowers. But the supreme beauty of this park is its mountain-hemmed, mirrorlike lakes, fed by glacial streams which tumble down the mountain sides, often in tall, ribbonlike falls of great beauty. Add to this an occasional glimpse of a Swiss chalet (for the accommodation of visitors) and you have an unbeatable combination for the true lover of the wild and the beautiful. OUR NATIONAL CAPITOL. IT IS but fitting that America—the greatest nation in all the world—should have the finest capitol building on earth. The architectural beauty of our national capitol building at Washington is most impressive and, for capitol purposes, it is said to surpass every other building in the world. The base of this immense, symmetrically shaped and imposing edifice tests on a level plateau, at an elevation of 97 feet above the historic Potomac river. The building faces the east and is about one mile distant from the White House. The corner stone of the original structure, which comprises the central portion of the present building and is of Virginia sandstone, was laid by President Washington on September 18, 1793—125 years ago. Later, when it became necessary to enlarge the building, two additions or wings, of Massachusetts marble, were added. President Fillmore laid the corner stone; Daniel Webster was the orator. These wings were burned by the British in 1814, but were restored. The original building was completed in 1827. The present structure is 751 feet long and 350 wide. It covers three and one-half acres. The central portion is surmounted by one of the most graceful, pleasingly shaped and massive domes in the world. This dome is 287 feet high. It was completed in 1865. It weighs more than $8,000,000 pounds and is topped by a statue of Freedom almost 20 feet high. The total value of the building and grounds is estimated at $25,400,000. (Copyright, 1919, Western Newspaper Union) Livingstone Memorial. One of the most curious memorials of Livingstone is the "Name Tree," near Victoria falls, on the Zambest. On the trunk Livingstone cut his initial and the date 1855 on the day of his first visit to the falls. In his book, giving an account of this, Livingstone says: "This was the only instance in which I indulged in this piece of vanity." Relief for the Nervous. The treatment for nervous disorders is diversion. Attention transferred and directed into new channels, new friends, new faces, new scenes, new habits, changed sleeping rooms, new rations, everything radically altered and wholly different will in time relieve almost all such conditions. A "Gentleman." And the scholar said; "Originally the term 'gentleman' (Latin: gentilis), signified well born. A man of gentle birth usually was refined in manners and conduct, and so popular usage has extended the term to all men of chivalrous character; a gentleman 'lives right, rights wrongs, tears God and honors the king.'"—Exchange.
