AN ABLE WHITE STUDENT IN SOCIOLOGY FLAYS HIS OWN PEOPLE, WHO ARE NOT WILLING TO STRIVE AT AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE PRESENT RACIAL DIFFICULTIES. VOL. XXV. WHY NOT FAIR AN ABLE WHITE STUDENT, OWN PEOPLE, WHO ARE AT AN IMPROVEMENT RACIAL DI WHY not give the Colored people fair advantages? They do not enjoy the privileges and consideration they are entitled to. Why is it? Do they deserve to be shunned and prevented from natural growth and development, because possibly a few go beyond the laws? They certainly do not. No one will dispute that there are many undeserving people in the white race as in the dark race. The comparison is only fair and honest. Let a Colored person feel that he is welcome to participate in all activities in the same manner as his fellow citizens, which privilege is extended under the constitution of these United States, and do not regard him in the light of an inferior being of some sort just happening to be among you for the purpose of serving you or rendering you some service and let the matter rest at that point. The Colored people are full-fledged American citizens upon whom full duties are imposed in any time of emergency by our country just in the same proportion as upon the white citizens. Therefore, there should be no discrimination when there is no emergency that confronts us. In other words, as long as they are subjected to the same laws and conditions that anyone else is, they should be accorded treatment and consideration commensurate to others. We tolerate unworthy dark and white people, but for the sake of advancing civilization to the utmost, we cannot afford to condemn all of the worthy citizens and incriminate them for the shortcomings of others. The basis of all thought and action must be justice and willingness to cooperate and raise the so-called lower class to a higher level (white or dark), but as long as false pride exists and the spirit of superiority governs, we will never advance beyond the present condition of affairs, nor can we hope to discover a solution to the vital problem of racial strife and inharmony. How unfair it is to associate with the dark people only for what service they may render you, such as you are conversant with, and on the other hand, when he is not directly assisting you towards gaining your own selfish ends you regard him as incapable of coping with bigger things in life and assume the attitude unbecoming that of a true democratic American citizen. Have you ever taken the first step in a direction that would indicate your willingness to co-operate and extend the same hand of welcome-ness to him that you would to your fellow white man, to assist them in their endeavor to progress to higher standards and advantages that we all enjoy? I venture to say that you have not. At a crucial period in the recent world-war, the Colored people were with us "tooth and toenail" and the least consideration we can show them is to display an attitude of reciprocity for a better world for them and for us. Some people dwell entirely upon the argument attempting to uphold their shallow-founded attitude that such a thing as intermarriage should not prevail. True enough; that is not what the Colored people desire, nor the white people. They do not wish to become entangled in mixed races, they merely ask that we abolish or destroy that almost indefinable distant attitude which has no justification, giving them our unselfish and unbiased uplifting stimulus and encouragement, so that eventually through a process of co-operation and education they might migrate from their state of inequality to a people fully competent and worthy of the highest respect, just as other American citizens. I feel confident that the educated people of both races are broadly viewing the problem in a light that will in time overcome the spirit shown by those who hold themselves aloof with little or no grounds for the assumed attitude. This article is directed toward those who are unwilling to aid the educated people to the end that the world may become more harmonious, better and farther advanced, eradicating, wherever possible, evils that tend to restrain progress, particularly in the direction of adjusting the racial problem, and if it is felt that it is applicable to yourself, think it over, basing your thought on justice and honesty, and there is no question but what you will readily comprehend the fallacy of the ideas you have been entertaining. You only hamper development by "knocking" and being unfair and it is strictly up to each and every individual in this day and age to come forth with the best there is in him in order that love and friendship may reign, rather than hatred and enmity. Your good judgment will sense the spirit in which this is given publicity and it is hoped that it will be taken to heart, resulting in an effective change in the minds of those who are prejudiced and not given over to deep, conscientious and judicious thought on this particular question, for the sake of humanity.—A. G. Sieberts, Portland Times. CORRECTION. The National Association for the advancement of Colored people, desires to correct the statement made under date of September 18th, to the effect that the only four regiments of the American Expeditionary Forces to be cited were the colored regiments. Dr. Emmett J. Scott, former special assistant to the Secretary of War, calls attention to the fact that other regiments were cited, and that he was misquoted when he was made to corroborate the statement made by Mr. J. Stanley Durkee. State Hst. & Nat Hst No.5 State House ble People's Paper RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA JAPANESE CRITICISM The interest exhibited by the Japanese press in the race question in the United States continues to increase, according to the comments reported from Tokio, the capital of that progressive country. One daily paper, known as the Yamato, is reported as saying with caustic frankness: "In America the Negroes have no vote. If Americans have any conscience they should be ashamed." Another Japanese daily, the Chugai Shogyo, remarked, with an air of fatality, that "unless lynching is prohibited in America further disturbances may occur." But the culminating point of this Far Eastern criticism of Western civilization is found in the question propounded by some of these Japanese papers in which they ask "Why American missionaries should not try to prevent such a barbarous thing in their own country as lynching, before thinking of enlightening the Koreans?" That is a fair question and one that would require all the wisdom and all the guile of the Federated Churches of America to answer to the satisfaction of themselves or anybody else. But the shame of it is that it should be possible for a nation of Orientals to thus put the pretensions of a so-called Christian nation to the blush. Let us hope that the time will soon come when the Christian churches of America will be able to stand up and answer such a question without blushing—New York Age. NEGROES PLAN TO RAISE $75,000 FOR Y. M. C. A. HOME Possibility that raising of $75,000 may be undertaken soon to construct a Y. M. C. A. building for colored men under the Julius Rosenwald plan was announced last night by William E. Sweet. Mr. Sweet said Julius Rosenwald of Chicago had pledged a $25,000 gift to every city which raises $75,000 for building such "Y" homes for colored men, and how twelve or thirteen cities have already obtained the gift and the buildings. He had shown the Colored Y. M. C. A. at Five Points to Mr. Rosenwald, he said, and predicted that Denver will carry out the building plan "in the no distant future."—Rocky Mountain News. RIOTER ATTACKED LITTLE COLORED GIRL Chicago, Sept. 22.—Max Bauer, white, 125 S. Holistead street, the district which fomented much of the strife during the race riot, exhibited in a most disgraceful way, his virtuous "superior race" characteristics at a movie theater, when he brazenly annoyed beautiful little Margaret Baker, colored, 10 years old. The little girl rushed out of the theater crying, and told several colored men what had happened. The men found Bauer in a hurry and gave him a severe beating. Bauer was then arrested, and before Judge Hayes, on a charge of disorderly conduct, was fined $50 and costs. Nothing was done to the men who administered the beating. Bauer is over 50 years old. Extracts From Speeches, Editorials, Magazines of Loyal Americans Black and White Against Mob Rule and Lynchings THE following extracts from various sources comply with our requests from time to time to the better element of the white race who think the time has come to demonstrate the fraternity of human beings. We will present them to our readers as often as we hear or read about them, with the hope that it will encourage us to keep up the battle for RIGHT AND JUSTICE. (Rocky Mountain News, Denver, Colo.) Colo.: If we are to be of a world federation to make another such a war impossible, if we are to become a part of the universal brotherhood, we had better begin at once to set our house in order. Colored troops were sent from this country to fight in France. We have plenty of dispassionate testimony that they did well. War is a great leveler. As the soldiers fought so were they judged and appreciated. But the war is over and in everyday affairs the old conditions remain. It is difficult for the mass of the returned men to appreciate the change; but they must sooner or later—and for them the sooner the better—realize this. At the same time the white population should bear in mind the services rendered by colored troops in war. The war should not have added to race antipathies; it ought to have modified them. The trouble is both racial and economic. The necessities of war brought about novel economic conditions. Migrations from the South followed on the heels of war. Colored labor was employed where it was refused employment before the war. Employer and employed must join to restore the equilibrium as soon as possible. Denver Express, article by Jerome Strauss: Short cuts to justice lead down, not up. Their goal is Utopia, their destination the pit. There is a growing tendency in America to substitute human passions for courts of law. Mob rule has swept our cities — Washington, Chicago, Knoxville, Pueblo and many others. It flared to its zenith in Omaha yesterday. Bestiality manifested in these cities cannot be laid to racial prejudices alone. In Pueblo the victims were Mexicans. In other cities it was quite apparent that chivalric regard for protection of white women had little to do with the case. When chivalry manifests itself through acts of violence and mutilation of the dead, that would disgrace a tribe of African cannibals, it is time for it to perish. Our fault has not been intolerance, but tolerance. We have let evil flourish instead of combatting it, flattering ourselves meanwhile that we were broadminded. Now, if violence cannot be curbed by peaceful means, it must be met with force. When a mob places a moose around a mayor's neck because he will not yield up a Negro to the rope and the stake, it should be met by a more powerful mob. If there are those ready to shed blood for violence, there must be an infinitely greater number ready to shed blood for law, order and justice. This last will not be necessary if the people act in time. Public sentiment in this country—if it would only go out and show itself—is sound. It still stands for the old moralities as against the new anarchies. But only by concerted, patriotic endowen can right and justice be maintained on the throne now besieged by bloodlust, selfishness and all the base, human passions that civilization was erroneously thought to have restrained. From the New Republic; article by Herbert J. Seligman: In view of the clamor about Washington's "crime wave" and its use to foment hatred against Negroes, the statistics of the Washington police department are pertinent. Those statistics show that there were four as- sauits upon women in June and July in the District of Columbia, three of which were supposed to have been committed by a suspect who was at the time of the riots under arrest. The assaults had occurred on June 25, 28, 30 and July 18. Three assaults occurred in Maryland outside of the District of Columbia, on July 5, 21 and 22, respectively. The last two were attempts by a "light-skinned" colored man and occurred after the riots had been under way. It should be emphasized here that white criminals at times darken their faces and hands in order to fasten crime upon Negroes. Mob violence is rapidly showing the race problem to be one which cannot be left for solution to any one section of the country. Whatever one's attitude toward race amalgamation, whatever one's attitude toward the bogie of "social equality," the fundamental basis of proper relations between the races must be recognition of the Negro's preagreatives as a human being and as a citizen. Crime must be treated as an individual and not as a racial matter. Such statements as that of the New York Times editorial, that "They [crimes] are mainly committed by Negroes," in referring to the situation in Washington, are malicious misrepresentations which only intensify what may become, if it is not met with intelligence and fairness, a hopeless condition of race war in the United States. Frank admissions and the revelations of expressed animus show that economic motives stimulate the emotions which lead to race riots. "Crime waves" are becoming a thin and transparent pretext for assault upon Negroes. The question which the American people will have to face is that of the economic and social status which will be accorded the Negro as a citizen, enfranchised in the North, disfranchised in the South. The war has meant a vital change in the position of the Negro and in his own feeling about his position. In the southern states he contributed almost as many men as did the whites. He bought Liberty Bonds, subscribe1 to Red Cross and other funds, and played his part in the crisis voluntarily and involuntarily as did the white man. Now he feels the opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which is accorded him as in some sense a supreme test of this country's professions. If the white man tries to "show the nigger his place" by flogging and lynching him, the Negro, when the government does not defend him, will purchase arms to defend himself. CRIME IS A DISEASE THAT DRAWS NO COLOR LINE. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 16.—The following editorial expression from the Columbia State, one of the most influential dailies of the South, is being generally discussed by people of all classes and is regarded as one of the frankest expressions of the results of lawlessness ever printed. It says: Attacks on Negroes merely because they are Negroes, as reported from Georgia, excite the indignation of all self-respecting white men of the South. When a crime is committed by a Negro and white ruffians set out to chase and kill other Negroes, against whose innocence is no shadow of evidence, these white men place themselves on the level of the Turks who massacre Armenians—they are a disgrace to the citizenry of any land, civilized or semi-civilized. Occasionally a man has killed an innocent Negro and fancied that "he got by with it"—but it is not true. Manslaying is not necessarily murder, the laws wisely draw the distinctions, but no mortal man has ever gained by murder, whether his victim was of the lowly or the mighty, and no murder goes unpunished that the country of the murderer does not suffer the penalty many times over. NO. 50. Thousands of graves of white men slain by white men are in the cemeteries of the South because of the tolation and tacit encouragement of murder of Negroes for when the white jury neglects to punish the murderer of a Negro it fosters murder as a habit. Probably never was an innocent Negro slaughtered in the South that some white man not in any way connected with the quarrel, did not bite the dust as a result of it for the simple reason that crime is a disease that draws no color line and white men infected with it by the killing of Negroes infect their brethren. It is the law of nature that the killing of Negroes does not go unavenged and there is many a family of white orphans in the South that owe their sorrowful condition to the folly that permits the practice of lawlessness against men with black skins. Senate to Investigate Race Riots and Lynchings Washington, D. C., Sept. 26, 1919. An investigation by the United States Senate into race riots and lynching throughout the United States is provided for in a resolution introduced by Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas, it was announced today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. The association unreservedly endorses the resolution and urges every colored man and woman in the country who desires better relations between the white and colored races to write to his or her senator, urging action on the resolution. It reads as follows: In the Senate of the United States, September 22, 1919 Mr. Curtis submitted the following resolution, which was referred to the committee on the judiciary: RESOLUTION. Resolved, That the committee on the judiciary of the United States Senate be, and it is hereby, authorized and directed at as early date as possible, by subcommittee, to investigate the race riots in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, and other cities in the United States, and to investigate lynchings which have occurred in different parts of the United States, and to ascertain as far as possible the causes for such race riots and lynchings, and report what remedy or remedies should be employed to prevent the recurrence of the same; said subcommittee shall have power to have meetings in any part of the United States, to call and examine witnesses, to examine papers, and to take such action as may be necessary to secure the facts. Washington, D. C.—Facilities for colored passengers equal to those provided for whites on interstate railroads, the elimination of "Jim Crow" cars and the removal of discrimination against Colored passengers, was advocated today before the Interstate Commerce committee considering the railroad control bill. George H. Murray, representing the National Negro Racial Association, urged an amendment to the Esch-Cummins bill, which would guarantee Negro interstate travelers the same treatment as accorded white passengers on railroads in all states in the union. Trunk line carries in the South as well as short lines, Murray said, had suffered serious financial loss because of discrimination against the Negro traveler. FOREIGN Adelina Patti, the prima donna, died at Craig-y-Nos castle, Penycae, South Wales. A prize of $50,000 for the first nonstop transpacific airship flight from Vanvouwer island to Japan, has been offered by Norman A. Yarrow, a Victoria business man. The troops under the nationalist leader, Mustapha Kemal Pasha, who recently set up a separatist government in Asia Minor, have occupied the city of Konieh, in southern Asia Minor, and expelled the authorities. The army regulation prohibiting officers and soldiers from fraternizing with Germans was revoked in an army order. This in no way affects the regulation prohibiting American soldiers from marrying German women. A German war prisoner, Losis by name, while on his way to the interior of Germany under escort of American soldiers was shot and killed by a French soldier near Nancy, according to reports reaching American headquarters. As the train with Losis and several hundred other prisoners was passing a German prison camp under guard of French soldiers, Losis, or some other German prisoners, threw food to the camp prisoners. One of the French guards opened fire. The Nieue Courant reassures its readers by saying that the definite decision attributed to the interallied council to demand the delivery of the ex-kalser need not alarm the Netherlands; that the 'viewpoint of the Netherlands government is already known on the other side. "In no case can, or may we permit the delivery of the ex-kalser," it says, "as our feeling of international duty forbids this. We have reason to believe that a refusal of delivery will not be unwelcome to the associated governments." Art treasures valued at more than $100,000,000, which belonged to Catherine II of Russia, who died in 1796, have been discoverd by the Bolshevik commission charged with classifying the property of the late Czar Nicholas in the winter palace and in the palace of Tsarikoe Selo. The cases containing these treasures had never been opened since they were sent to Catherine from Rome. The find includes more than 1,000 paintings and sculptures by some of the greatest French and Italian masters, including Terpolo, Roughi, Latour, Lancet and Fragonard. GENERAL Herman Smith, Buffalo's featherweight, outpointed Joe Leonard of New York before the Queensbery Athletic Club at Buffalo. Mike O'Dowd of St. Paul, world's middleweight boxing champion, outfought Augie Ratner of New York, former National A. A. U. middleweight titleholder, in an eight-round bout at Jersey City. Alaska Indian youths are being offered an opportunity to attend the United States government school at Chemawa, Ore. Recently I. S. Loos, superintendent of the Chemawa school, passed through Ketchikan bound for Kodiak and other western Alaska points, to tell the Indians of their opportunity. Investigation shows that the forest fires which raged over the week end along the line of the Pacific Great Eastern railway above the Squamish were so intense that steel rails were melted. Thousands of huge trees fell. A train with forty-five passengers was held up for two days by the fire, which, driven by a heavy wind, swept through the Cheakamus valley. From bootlegger to police station to bootleger—this was the route taken by contraband whisky confiscated by Indianapolis police, it was revealed in the arrest of three negro janitors and the suspension of four patrolmen. As fast as the liquor was confiscated at the station, it was taken through rear doors by the colored janitors and sold for $8 a quart, according to their confession. Three men who are alleged to have robbed a bank in Arcadia, Oregon, several weeks ago, of $10,000 in money and Liberty bonds, were arrested and $5,000 in government bonds has been recovered the police say. Acting, it is said, on one of Broadway's famous "rumors" that within a week President Wilson would cast wartime prohibition into the discard by proclaiming demobilization completed, New York liquor dealers began "stocking up" for a brief "wet" period until next January. With huge quantities of bonded whisky arriving from Kentucky, restaurants and saloons began enrolling bartenders and waiters previously laid off. Herbert C. Hoover has "retired from public office," and is to devote his future time toward making the $3 and $6 a day salaries of Stanford University professors more commensurate with the $6 and $9 wages of home building artisans and to various relief measures in Europe. He also is to return between $85,000,000 and $90,000,000 in foreign obligations to the United States treasury in partial liquidation of the $100,000,000 voted by Congress for relief purposes. A new cable across the Pacific running from San Francisco to Tokio is soon to be laid, according to announcement of George B. Ward, vice president of the Commercial Cable company, who arrived in New York on the White Star liner Lapland. The new cable will be more than 5,000 miles long and will cost about $2,000 a mille, a total of $10,000,000. More than 1,500 enemy allens, the majority Germans, who were interned in this country during the war, sailed for Rotterdam, from New York, on the transport Pocahontas the past week.

Orange juice has taken the place of champagne at the christening of ships built in the yards of the Southwestern Shipbuilding Company at Los Angeles Harbor. Joseph Wills was killed, Fred Snyder, Sr., George Snyder and Fred Snyder, Jr., were seriously injured when the Sunset Limited train No. 102, eastbound, struck an automobile driven by Wills fourteen miles east of El Paso. The Idaho State Board of Equalization has materially increased the valuation of irrigated lands in the wheat belt of northern Idaho. Advance estimates indicate that the decision will add about $12,000,000 to the tax rolls. The rich lands were put in class 1. While exact figures will not be obtainable until late autumn, when snow comes, and foresters can make a complete survey, it has been semi officially estimated that between 300,000 and 400,000 acres of valuable timber have been burned in Montana this year. Two women are being sought by the Chicago police in their efforts to solve the murder of Dr. A. Regibald Karreman, a wealthy recluse, who was found slain in his home in Englewood, a suburb of Chicago. Dr. Karreman was strangled to death and a fire started under the bed on which his body was found, in an effort to hide the crime. Protesting that organized labor is demanding more production of the farmers while demanding of its members less production," delegates to the international farm congress at Kansas City went on record as deploring strikes except in "grave emergency" and opposing the unionization of police and other peace officers. American aviators flying into Mexico will be fired upon by Mexican troops, according to a message received from Mexico City by El Nacional, a Mexican newspaper at El Paso, which stated that Ignacio Bonillas, Mexican ambassador at Washington, had been instructed to convey this information to the State Department. WASHINGTON The strength of the army, as reported for Sept. 23, showed 33,065 officers and men in Europe, 8,400 in Siberia, 7,600 at sea en route home, and 304,000 in the United States. After Oct. 31 an average strength of 252,250 will be maintained. The eight former German liners allocated to the United States after the armistice, including the former Hamburg-American steamer Imperator, the second largest ship afloat, are to be turned over to the shipping board by the War Department as soon as necessary surveys can be made. The British ministry of shipping had expected that the Imperator would be turned over to its agents at Hoboken, and the vessel already had been promised to the Cunard line for service between New York and England. Approximately 10,000 emergency officers of the army who desire to remain in the service must be discharged by Nov. 1, the War Department announced, in order to bring the commissioned strength down to 18,000 officers, as directed by Congress in a bill signed by President Wilson. The United States army has been demobilized 90 per cent since the armistice, the War Department announced. The decrease in numbers totals 3,292,385. The present strength of the army was announced by the department as 378,503 officers and men. Of these, 33,068 are in Europe, 8,477 in Siberia; the remalder, in the United States, are scattered. Establishment of direct trade radio communication between Denmark and the United States is planned by the Danish government. A dispatch from Copenhagen to the Danish legation said the Danish ministry for public works had announced in the upper house that his department was working out plans for "a great transatlantic wireless station near Copenhagen which will put Denmark in direct wireless communication with the United States." Additional legislation recommended by President Wilson as a means of reducing living costs was passed by the House and sent to the Senate. It would limit the time of holding foodstuffs in cold storage to twelve months and require that when released such food be plainly marked with the date it was placed in storage. The eight-hour working day has been established in Spain by a royal order, according to advices reaching the State Department at Washington. Daylight saving will be abolished in Spain on Oct. 6, it also was stated. Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Western Newpaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS. Inter-Mountain Live Stock and Fair, Grand Junction, Sept. 30 to Oct. 3. Douglas County Fair, Castle Rock, Oct. 7-9. Miss Flora Brown, 50 years old, who weighed 525 pounds, is dead in Denver of heart trouble. Business men of Nederland, a tung- sten mining town twenty miles west of Boulder, have organized a commercial association. The total value of all property in Colorado for taxation is $1,487,931,191, according to complete reports from all counties in the state of the Colorado Tax Commission. The budget for the city of Boulder for next year, as submitted to the City Council by Manager Salter, calls for expenditures in the amount of $120,230, which is the estimated total of re- ceipts. Excellent crops are reported in the Arkansas valley by the secretary of the dairy division of the Civic and Commercial Association, who has returned from a trip through Rocky Ford, La Junta and Ordway. Stock raising is, next to mining, Colorado's oldest industry. The census bureau found the value of all domestic animals sold and slaughtered last year close to $125,000,000 or 400 per cent better than in 1909. S. E. Carver, Elkton, Colo., 50 years old, pioneer miner, was killed at the Cresson mine, near Cripple Creek, when two tons of loose rock fell on him in a slope between the seventh and eighth levels of the mine. The town of Ault, Colo., has applied to the State Utilities Commission for a certificate of convenience and necessity authorizing it to proceed with the construction and operation of a municipal light and power plant. Franklin Pierce Parker, 67 years old and the father of nine children, who has been farming dry land near Stonebam for several years, became discouraged because of crop failures and committed suicide by taking poison. Tony Marmone of Mt. Harris narrowly escaped death at Oak Creek when he backed out of the Newberry garage into Oak creek. He was caught underneath the automobile and held there several minutes before he was released. The Rabbit Ear Pass highway, a twenty-two mile strip sixteen feet wide extending from Steamboat Springs to connection with the highway to Denver, has been completed after five years of work, according to an announcement made at the United States bureau in Denver. Through an agreement between the State Highway Commission and the commissioners of Larimer county $36,000 will be spent in improving the Loveland canion road between Loveland and Estes Park. It is expected to have the work completed before travel to the hills starts next year. Clinton W. Dexter, 23, a sugar factory employé, is dead from injuries suffered when he was struck by an automobile at Longmont. Dexter made a leap for a passing truck in order to get a ride home, when he missed the vehicle and stepped in front of an automobile coming in an opposite direction. The strike of the steel workers at Pueblo has resulted in the closing of the ganister quarries at Cañon City and the throwing out of work of a considerable number of men who are employed there. Ganister is used as a flux in the making of steel and large quantities were furnished by the quarries here to the Minnequa plant. Half of the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company's coal mines in Trinidad district are closed and a total of over 1,300 men are out of work as a result. Sixty-six school teachers of Fort Collins will receive a bonus of $150 each on their year's work, as a result of action taken by the school board on a petition asking for increases of 25 per cent. Threshing machines are busy in every section of Routt county and the yield of grain is far above expectation. Notwithstanding the dryest season known for many years, Routt county maintains its position as a section that has never known a crop failure. In quantity the yield is satisfactory, in some cases phenomenal. The manufacturing industry in Colorado had developed rather rapidly in the past twenty years. During that period the number of manufacturing establishments has nearly doubled, the capital invested has increased about 225 per cent, the number of persons engaged has more than doubled, and the value of manufactured goods produced annually has increased approximately 110 per cent. Lora Doak, 16-year-old son of Mrs. Chalon Moon, twenty-five miles southeast of Hugo, accidentally shot himself while out hunting. The gun was discharged while the young man was taking it out of the wagon, the bullet striking near the heart. Doak lived but a few minutes. The town of Flagler will construct over two miles of cement sidewalks this fall. Nearly a mile of concrete curbing has already been ordered. Many other civic improvements are under consideration by the Flagler Commercial Club --- "Colorado families are being paid $10,313,200 in war risk insurance claims by the United States government, including 1,180 insurance claims which are being paid by the bureau of war risk insurance to beneficiaries named at the time application was made by soldiers, sailors and marines, now dead. Disabled soldiers, as well as widows and children and dependent parents of those who have died are being made comfortable by the government, which is paying 763 compensation claims to residents of this state." This is the gist of a report which has been sent out from the Treasury Department concerning the work which the war risk insurance bureau is doing in Colorado. Other statements included in the report are that in addition to the compensation claims which are already being paid, 651 cases for claims are under investigation by bureau representatives. THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West All previous records for visitors wer broken in the Rocky Mountain National Park during the past season, according to a report just issued by Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service. According to statistics taken at the park, 161,000 have been visitors during the past summer, while last year only 101,000 visitors were recorded. Last year 20,588 motor cars passed through the park, while during the past season this number has been nearly doubled with a total of 40,871. Decrease in the amount of land available for homesteading in Colorado has reduced the number of applications this year by one-third, as compared with 1916 records, according to State Immigration Commissioner Edward Foster, the inquiries are as many this fall as three years ago. There is still a total of 9,500,000 acres open to entry, records of the department show, but this total is 700,000 acres less than that available a year ago and 5,000,000 acres less than on July 1, 1916. Application from the Grover, Colo. high school for rifles for drill purposes and similar applications from other schools of Colorado led Col. D. E. McCunniff, federal inspector-instructor with the Colorado National Guard, to call these schools' attention to the provisions of the army regulations under which any school with a uniformed cadet corps of not less than forty members can obtain both rifles and ammunition from the War Department. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. C. F. Burke of Pueblo was elected secretary-treasurer of the Colorado Duroc Jersey Hog Association at a meeting held in Pueblo. Professor Morton of the Colorado State Agricultural College, Fort Collins, was elected president. J. W. Brower of Colorado Springs was chosen vice president. The association members plan on taking a large number of head of fancy Duroc Jerseys, possibly thirty, to the Denver stock show this winter. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Two leprosy cases in Colorado have been reported to the State Board of Health within six weeks, it was reported at the board's regular meeting at the state house.

The other, who has been taken in charge by the federal public health service, is confined in Otero county. The reported dynamiting of fish in the Rio Grande has been amply verified. Hundreds of dead fish have been found floating and lodged along the river banks all the way from Deep creek to Wagon Wheel gap, and all those who have examined them declared that they had been killed by a blast of dynamite or other explosive, as the bones were broken and pulled loose from the backbone.

Two Arkansas valley counties, Crowley and Otero, produce 30 per cent of the cantaloupes grown in Colorado, and this state ranks among the leaders in the production of cantaloupes. The shipping season for pinto beans is just opening in this state, and Colorado is facing a very serious situation in this industry. Bigger marketing problems are confronting the pinto bean producers than last year, because there will be no big government orders to be filled, such as there was during the season of 1918-1919, the biggest bean year in the history of the state.

Failure on the part of former state treasurers to make good the state's demand of a year ago for $42,000 alleged shortage, discovered in the state treasury after the suicide of Julius H. Clark, chief bookkeeper, will be followed by suit against the treasurers and their bondsmen, if payment is not made shortly. Attorney General Victor E. Keyes is contemplating such action, following completion of a checking up of the records three months ago and the continued failure of the officials or their bondsmen to heed the state's demand.

The well is located on the apex of this structure and you will reach the first gas sands between 1,700 and 2,000 feet. I would advise, if possible, that you ease this gas off and drill for the lower or deeper sands that are to be found in the Pannsylvanian, from which comes the great oil production in Oklahoma and most parts of Texas. From a geologist's standpoint, I feel that we have the best location in this section and that we are assured of large production when this well is drilled as recommended. (From the Board of City Development, Amarillo, Texas.) "The John Ray dome, north of Amarillo, is one of the largest structures known, being about 15 miles long, 8 to 10 miles wide, with a lift of 500 feet. About 50 well known geologists have been over the Amarillo field, and all have pronounced it to be an excellent geological structure. "In 1918 the Amarillo Oil Company made arrangements with Mr. C. M. Hapgood to put down a well on the dome located by Professor Gould. At 1,700 feet a good flow of gas was found, another at 1,900 feet, a third at 2,100 feet, and at 2,300 feet the well was finally accepted as a gas well, producing from 6,000,000 to 12,000,000 cubic feet of gas per day. This is a rich wet gas, said to make one-half gallon of gasoline for each 1,000 cubic feet of gas, showing almost conclusively that it comes off of oil. "In January, 1919, the Amarillo Oil Company made a contract with Jones Bros. of Kansas City for the drilling of five wells on the 70,000 acres above referred to, the wells to be drilled this year." Other big companies interested in the Amarillo field are Empire Oil & Gas Co., Magnolia, Texas, Gulf, Humble, Carter, Sinclair, Capitol Petroleum Company, Benedum & Trees, and Standard Oil Company. In addition to these many individuals are interested, whose advent into the field is one of the greatest assurances of its hidden wealth. THE OIL FIELD OUR DRILLER Mr. Ed Welch, superintendent and head driller of our company, is a man of much experience, having drilled in West Virginia, Ohio, Kansas, O lahoma and Texas. He has been engaged in the oil business for 30 years, twenty years of which has been spent in actual drilling, having been associated with the McMann Oil Company in the Cushing and Healdton fields in Oklahoma for about five years; with the Prairie Oil & Gas Company in the Eldorado field in Kansas for about two years, and has also drilled numerous wells for Mr. C.B. Schaffer, Mr. Tom Slick and others in the Cushing field. Mr. Welch has drilled more than 40 wells in the Healdton field for the Headlton Oil Company, and has drilled numerous wells in other fields. We feel with Mr. Welch superintending this well we have one of the best men obtainable. We have for sale a few choice leases near this location. It is the policy of our company to sell enough acreage to pay for the well, so that we can drill another well with the drilling fund and keep on until a big well is brought in if this one should not be a big one. In this manner we protect the company and stockholders against loss, and at the same time those who purchase the leases have a chance to make a snug fortune out of them. Some of the leases in the Burkburnett field that first sold for $25 to $50 an acre afterwards sold as high as $15,000 an acre, and a great many sold for $5,000 to $10,000 per acre. The chance in this field is equally as good. Those who desire to speculate in leases should communicate with us at once. The usual commission will be allowed to Lease Brokers. usual comm In the Mid-Continent field we are bringing in from two to four wells a month, and we have five, pumping stations working. and now have live pumping stations Latest report from our Mexican No. 2 states that it looks better than formerly reported.

One is known as the Monroe doctrine; the other, the Hay doctrine. In principle the two doctrines are practically identical. One refers to the countries of Central and South America, the other to China. The Monroe doctrine was intended to protect the Latin American states against European aggression. It was never intended to obstruct cr to regulate the commerce or social relations between the republics on the western hemisphere and the countries of Europe and Asia. As a matter of fact the European countries in many instances have developed a much more extensive trade with Latin America than has our own country. Under the Monroe doctrine our citizens are not given any superior or preferential position in regard to the commerce of the financial and social relations of the nations of the western hemisphere. The Hay doctrine was intended to prevent injustice to China. It attempted to preserve the territorial integrity of the Chinese empire and secure the maintenance of the principle of equal commercial opportunity for all nations that might desire to secure trade in China. The latter principle became known to the world as the policy of the "open door." There was never any attempt either in the Monroe doctrine or the Hay doctrine to secure special privileges for ourselves in the countries of Latin America or China. On the contrary, we as a nation have always intended that all maritime countries should enjoy commercial, financial and industrial rights, opportunities and privileges in the countries included in the Monroe doctrine and the Hay doctrine. The first effect of war on athletics was registered when our military examiner discovered that from 33 to 50 per cent of the recruits were found wanting in the physical test set for them by Uncle Sam. Fortunately for us, however, we have learned that the fault was not with our methods of physical education and athletics but in the lack of an organization and a system that would bring our athletic methods into more general use. The result of Uncle Sam's "athletics for all" program was that our doughboy caught the spirit of play and vigorous competition and entered into the athletic contests and recreational games with thorough enjoyment. He developed from a slab-sided, stoop-shouldered, hollow-chested and meager or flabby-muscled youth into a vigorous, well-set-up, well-developed, self-respecting young man "raring to go." And when this young man did go over the top he did it in such a masterly way that the European world is still marveling at his adaptability. And the interesting thing about it is that our allies so generally attribute a large share of our military success as fighters to our athletic program that several of them have already asked for our experts to introduce American games and athletic methods into their armies and also their school systems. This history-making athlete, having in mind the benefits he derived from his athletic opportunity while in the army, will demand the same opportunity in civilian life, and especially for his progeny. Thus the after effects of war on athletics will be a strenuous demand for a system and an organization in our schools, colleges, industrial centers and communities in general that will make it possible for the benefit of recreational and competitive athletics to be shared by all. I cannot hide the fact that the Crane family is getting every year encumous sums of money from the labor of others without anything like commensurate returns to society for it. There is no good act or generous deed of any member of the Crane family that at all will or should invalidate this conviction. I have no dogma to impose upon society, but I see that children are injured by modern industrial conditions, which have molded the lives of us all. In my opinion everything should be regarded from the point of view of our children's welfare, for upon them depends the entire future of the state. If a thing is good for them it is good, and if it is bad for them it is bad. But society doesn't take this attitude. Instead of looking at the world from the child's point of view we take the point of view of business. Education, politics, industrial conditions, housing—in all these matters business comes first and our children come second. It is business which dictates, and after it has made the rules we try as well as we can to adapt the welfare of our children to them. But the day will arrive when, if a method or project is good for business but bad for the children it will be rejected. That is one of the reasons why I favor the strike of the employees of the Crane company. They want a shorter workday. If they get it the father will be able to spend more time at home with his children. The father's influence upon his children is just as important as that of the mother. If the father is prevented from spending a certain amount of time with his children there is something definite lacking in their rearing. Senator Thomas of Colorado—It may be possible to reach the goal of uniformity in the conditions of labor, but I question if that can be done otherwise than by making the standard of the lowest and leveling down to it. If this be so, then strict uniformity in world labor conditions can be attained only at the expense of the American wage earner. His superior skill, intelligence, productive capacity and opportunities can avail him but little. THE COLORADO STATESMAN CABIN EMULSION BE FALE BACK COUNTRY PARTY JOS. D. D. RIVERS.....Proprietor P.

AN EFFORT AT AMICABLE ACTION BETWEEN THE RACES "Tomorrow will always be a better day, if we live rightly today as it THE present unrest and terrible happenings of murder in various parts of our great United States, the result of racial differences, call for quick sober, judicious action among the representatives of black and white citizens in every city, county, village, suburb or elsewhere, to put an immediate stop to the spread of this lawlessness which can bring nothing but shame on our liberty-loving nation and establish distrust in the opinion of other nations who are seeking to destroy American prestige in the world. We are told to clean our own house; settle our local practices of savagery and barbarism in the comments of foreign newspapers, do more missionary work at home before sending to civilize and christianize foreign or heathen lands, and numerous other scoldings. Our feelings can be better imagined than described. Why then not let us get together in some fellowship meeting with representatives from both races in Denver and the other cities of Colorado, in all the cities of the U. S. A. and suggest, resolve and devise ways and means to suppress and in the end eradicate this terrible condition that is prevailing among us. The Colorado Staesman opens its columns to the public, irrespective of color or class, for information as to the best plans to create an agreeableness on the basis of righteous American actions for all citizens, and we feel sure, that if in Denver we can, with the get-together spirit, accomplish this task, we will give a service to this country, this nation and community that will bring us and our posterity innumerable advantages in saving a situation of ruin and destruction. We again invite correspondence on AMICABLE SETTLEMENT OF THE PRESENT TROUBLE. SENATOR WILLIAMS, THE LAWLESS DEMOCRAT, DEFENDS LYNCHING IN U. S. SENATE. IS IT anything to wonder at when Japanese newspaper editors and magazines and papers of the other dark races of the world, also our own colored newspaper proprietors and editors of the United States of America advise this nation TO SET ITS HOUSE IN ORDER AT ONCE, before it attempts to talk about international democratization, League of Nations or anything bordering on freedom of the world for all peoples, when in the U. S. Senate, a branch of the highest governing body in our country, we have a man as Senator Williams, Democrat, of Mississippi, declaring in favor of MOB RULE and defending the lynching of William Brown, Negro, and the severe injuries inflicted on Mayor Edward P. Smith of Omaha, the latter being hanged to an electric light pole, but who was cut down in time by the police, because he refused to turn over the Negro to the blood-thirsty crowd? The old charge, "attempting to assault white women," which men of the disgraceful type of American citizenship like Mississippi Williams delight in trumping up conveniently, as it incurs sympathy from the followers of mob rule and the disciples of lawlessness, is the weapon used by this Negro-hater and lawless senator, and the following expression on his assumption of guilt proves that this member of the Senate would lead a mob or arouse its passions to the usual savage-like and barbarous action, if even in his sleep he had a dream of this "attempted assault on white women." "I will go in the pathways of peace as far as any man," said the senator. "I would be willing to arbitrate almost anything except outrages on a WHITE WOMAN by black or white. I would surrender him as a criminal beyond the pale to the first crowd that came to get him. The conduct of the criminal at Omaha deprives me of all inclination and power to say one word against the crowd that captured the criminal and punished the crime. RACE IS GREATER THAN LAW now and then and protection of women transcends all law, human and divine." Were we, following the instruction of this grim, prejudiced monster, to advise all Negroes in Colorado, and emphasize this instruction, "Race is greater than law," to the large majority of our people in the South, we doubt not that some of the senator's own relatives might become the victims of the lawless; for Mississippi, as well as other states adjacent to the senator's home, has a fair percentage of what is termed the "hybrid" population, the result of terrible assaults on NEGRO WOMEN by their white masters (?) of the present day, even though we boast of the abolition of slavery in this country. The mockery, "pathways of peace" and "defense of white women" in the quotation of Williams, the mob-defender, only serve the deep thinkers and strong-minded men of our race to see the great problem that lies before them, and with men in the law-making body of the nation upholding mob-rule, even to an assault on the chief executive of a city, there is nothing to doubt but that Bolshevism and every other form of misrule will be the destiny of America if such leaders should go unpunished. Congressman Byrne of South Carolina, in a speech before the House recently, requested prosecution for some of our newspaper men and magazine writers because they tried to show the unfairness in the treatment given the black citizens of this country, and denouncing the action demanded justice. Now we think that a lesson should be taught WILLIAMS, THE LAWLESS. We have impeached Presidents, Governors and other dignitaries, recalled other officials when they indulged in actions or expressed themselves against the peace and harmony of this government, and the senator, who in his naked and barefaced manner, ignores the very laws that allow him and his colleagues to journey safely around and about the country, tramples them under foot in supporting and inciting a mob and riot in the mockery of defending the "white women" (but not the white men of the country against black women or men) ought not only to be impeached, but should be tried as any other criminal on the charge of INCITING TO RIOT. A Negro and a white mayor this one—one dead, the other injured for life, possibly may die from the injuries received—and the mob continues, zealously supported by blood-lust characters like Williams. Who knows the next turn may be that of a chief executive of a state, a senator, congressman, cabinet officer or the chief executive of the nation, with the encouragement and inspiration offered by one of the ardent supporters of the League of Nations, who boasts of his advocating this league and in the next breath is a staunch supporter of that which will make this institution valueless to the world—the doctrine of mob-rule and lawlessness inculcated in the people. "Assaulting white women," the thin, transparent tissue-like excuse for lawless whites, more imaginary than real. "Congressman killed leading riot in Washington"; "senator's son to be tried for cold-blooded murder of sweetheart"; "actual waste of public funds in war supplies now being investigated," are facts. WHAT A VAST DIFFERENCE! Monroe and Hay Doctrines Practically Identical in Their Principles By Representative JULIUS KAHN of California The United States during its comparatively brief history has formulated two distinct fundamental foreign policies. One is known as the Monroe doctrine; the other, the Hay doctrine. In principle the two doctrines are practically identical. One refers to the countries of Central and South America, the other to China. The Monroe doctrine was intended to protect the Latin American states against European aggression.

The Monroe doctrine our citizens are not given any superior position in regard to the commerce of the financial and arts of the nations of the western hemisphere. The doctrine was intended to prevent injustice to China. It preserves the territorial integrity of the Chinese empire and maintenance of the principle of equal commercial opportunity that might desire to secure trade in China. The latter prin- nounced to the world as the policy of the "open door." Is never any attempt either in the Monroe doctrine or the to secure special privileges for ourselves in the countries of China. On the contrary, we as a nation have always all maritime countries should enjoy commercial, financial rights, opportunities and privileges in the countries the Monroe doctrine and the Hay doctrine.

Omaha, Nebraska: Montgomery, Alabama: Elaine, Arkansas, are the cities and states that have recorded since last Sunday, deaths among colored and white Americans running into large numbers to say nothing of the injured. It seems that clashes among the races have reached the form of an epidemic, and Negroes, unwilling to bear any longer the abuse and cruelty that have been continuously heaped on them for successive years, under the false assumption of "Assaulting white women," have resolved to lay down their lives in defense of themselves and protection from the mob—the government apparently being powerless to act. There is no excuse for this larcity on the part of the authorities to suppress this violence that is raging throughout the country, and if because this is "a white man's country," as riotous characters in our Congress declare there is the belief that the citizens of color will continue to suffer, then the answer given by every sane and rational being will be, it is sweet to die for liberty. The black man in this or any other country cannot help from being on the defensive, but following the emphatic expression of Senator Williams of Mississippi, "Race Is Above Law" and he will resort to the mob when he pleases. The Negro must only prepare to safeguard his life and property from mob rule. A League of Nations may be alright on paper, but for God sake America, why expose our nation to the laughter and contempt of the world? Remember Pompeii. Telegraphic offers of assistance to Mayor E.

On last Tuesday evening a large number of farmers in Dearfield settlement, met at the Methodist Church and organized the "Dearfield Farmers" and Protective Association," and necessary measures were taken for its incorporation. This association was incorporated to protect and promote the general welfare of the community and to stimulate community interest. The following officers were elected: George Collier, president; E. A. Bell, secretary, and the following directors: George Collier, Bert Griffith, E. A. Danford, O. T. Jackson, A. E. Bell, J. J. Houston and D. Cannon, S. E. Cary of Denver, Colorado, was appointed local representative of the settlement. Those present were highly elated over the report of O. T. Jackson, who announced to the settlement that Mr. J. F. Wilborn, president of the Colorado Fuel and Iron company had presented to the settlement, a fine pedigree Durham bull. As appreciation for this expression of interest in the settlement by Mr. Welborn, and in order that the friends of the settlement might have an opportunity to acquaint themselves with the progress being made, it was decided by the association that a grand celebration be held on the 11th of October, the date of gift from Mr. Welborn's would arrive in the settlement. Games ap- propriate for the occasion will be bad. Ex-governor Ammons will deliver the address presenting Mr. Welborn's gift to the settlement. S. E. Cary will deliver the acceptance speech on behalf of the settlement. There will be a plenty of watermelon free to all, and some of the Community Organization will have other good eats convenient for all who attend.

Best wishes for his recovery are expressed by the Colorado Statesman. F. W. Perkins returned this week from Pueblo, where he attended the state convention of the American Legion—the new organization for soldiers who were called to the colors in the recent war or who have been in Uncle Sam's service at any time. In the election for members of the State Board of Directors, Mr. Perkins was beaten by only three votes by the successful candidate (white). There was a large attendance at this session, and the opinion is expressed that this organization will be heard from sooner or later in helping in the guidance of the nation's affairs. The Denver Dramatic Club composed of Mr. and Mrs. Sanford Caldwell, the Misses, Ethel Fitchue, Ruth Read, Stella Read, Readie Stewart, Myrtle Moore, Messrs Wendell Allen and Roy Brown, will present a two act drama entitled "The Wages of Sin," under the apspices of Centennial Lodge No. 4, F. and A.

FORMER DENVER RESIDENT RECEIVES GREAT WELCOME. Mrs. Beatrice Thompson, a former Denverite, is the honored guest of a number of social events at which she is being royally entertained by Denver friends and acquaintances. She arrived from Chicago last Monday, stopping here for a few days before returning to her home in Los Angeles, Cal. Denver colored citizens point with much pride to Mrs. Thompson, she having been the first clerk of color in the County Treasurer's office some years ago, and this incident brings back pleasant reminiscences of the time when our people filled many positions of appreciable worth and good standing in this community. She is secretary of the Los Angeles branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and gave a nice and interesting talk to the Denver branch last Monday evening at their rooms in the Good block where dainty refreshments were served. Mrs. N. J. Skillern, one of Denver's popular maitrons in the social life, gave a reception in honor of Mrs. Thompson last evening, opening the season's festivities, the same being unsurpassed in its rare appointments and attended by a number of our esteemed families who embraced the opportunity to renew their acquaintance. During her stay Mrs. Thompson was the house guest of Mrs. C. S. Muse of 1221 Gaylord street, a lifelong friend. The Colorado Statesman was delighted over the visit of this lady who is one of our boosters, and whom we have every reason to be proud of being a Denver product, who never forgets the old home and her former friends. SCOTT'S OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO IN THE WORLD WAR. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, EXCLUSIVE AGENTS, Room 25, 1824 Curtis St., Denver, Colo. P. O. Box 116. REV. A. MILTON WARD LEAVES FOR LOS ANGELES CHURCH AFTER 12 YEARS FAITHFUL SERVICE IN A. M. E. MINISTRY HERE. After twelve years of faithful service in the ministry of the African Methodist Episcopal Denomination in this city, as pastor of Shorter and Campbell churches, also presiding elder for a term, the Rev. A. Milton Ward was transferred and assigned to the First Church at Los Angeles, Cal., at the last session of the Colorado A. M. E. conference held recently in the city. This laborer in his Master's vineyard for many years, has materially helped the devil opinent of Denver citizens in their spiritual as well as intellectual development by the practical methods he would adopt in applying Christianity as also his forceful sermons and addresses that he would impart to his congregation. Nor was he given to the narrow confines of a denomination as his missionary work among all classes and creeds won for him the fame of always being ready to serve humanity. His children, three—two sons and a daughter, were educated in the Denver high schools and universities, the Rev. A. Wayman Ward being pastor of Payne Chapel, Colorado Springs; Dr. Virgil Ward who were recently discharged from military service with the American Expeditionary Forces and Miss Vera Ward accomplished musician, are held in esteem by the people of Denver, and their contribution to the religions as well as social development of the community is much appreciated. The Colorado Statesman joins the host of admirers and friends of Rev. and Mrs. Ward for a longer career of usefulness, knowing that these coworkers will from their self-denying and sacrificial qualities lead and guide any flock to greater success. They departed last Wednesday and again we wish them God speed. COMING TO DENVER Dr. J. W. Hurse, D. D. of Kansas City, Missouri, will conduct a big revival meeting at St. Stephen's Baptist Church, (formerly Bethchem,) at Thirty-second and Layfette street. Dr. Hurse has a wide fame and national reputation, a soul stiring pulpit orator and a soul winner in the gospel, and carries a large crowd in all his meetings. A great gathering is expected from all sources. A special invitation is hereby given to all demonstrations. The great meeting will run for two or three weeks. Come and hear him. Bro. W. R. Rhodes, Clerk. Rev. F. T. Smith, Pastor. DR. RICHARD A. RANDOLPH AGED CHIROPODIST DIES. The sudden and tragic death of Dr. Richard A. Randolph, widely known chiropodist who disappeared last Saturday evening from his home, 2851 Welton street, and whose body was found last Thursday afternoon in the big lake at City Park, has cast a glance on this community in which he has lived for over twenty-five years and by whom he was held in the greatest of esteem. He was 73 years old and was one of the most cultured and respected citizens of Denver and member of the race. He numbered among his patients society leaders and other white persons of wealth and prominence who thronged his office at 1945 Lincoln street for treatment, giving him a pre-eminent place in his profession. He was born in Washington where he received a fine education, and throughout his life was a very zealous church worker. He was a member of Shorter A. M. E. Church and gave very largey to various religious and social welfare causes. Broad-minded and deeply impressed with the development of his race in this country, it is said he began to be grieved over the unfortunate atrocities that were befalling the members of his race after their supreme sacrifice for the nation in the recent struggle and of late showed signs of a demented canon, brought out a searching party of Denver's most prominent business men and society women who hurried out in their motor cars to try and find the man whose patients and loyal friends they have been for many years, Mrs. A. V. Hunter, wife of the multimillionaire banker; Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. James, Mr. Bulkley Wells; Mrs. Matilda J. Hoff and many others personally conducted this search, and according to one of out learing daily papers, "probably no person who ever disappeared in Denver aroused the personal interest of business and society leaders as this professional. The deepest concern for his safety was manifested by prominent citizens who have actually deserted their business for days, and who have broken all manner of social engagements to go out and search for the doctor." There can be no better testimony of the kind of character and the esteem in which he was held and the Colorado Statesman being closely associated with him for more than half his life-time joins with the large and great circle of his friends and patrons in extending the deepest sympathy to his wife and other relatives. He was an exceptional character and his death will be keenly felt. Funeral arrangements were not concluded on our going to press. May his soul rest in peace. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Secretary Bell is up to his head and more also in work these days due to the mighty rush of work which the fall has brought in. The lecture course which opens on Friday evening, the 17th inst., is about ready for the press and the subject, with speakers, etc. for the first lecture will be announced next week. The lecture course for business men and women is ready, with the exception of two or three more speakers which must yet be secured. The same is true with the course of religious lectures and addresses. The work for the Boys' department is also progressing nicely, and will be announced next week. Second to none, however, is the preparations being made for the great city-wide membership campaign which will begin on Monday evening, the 20th inst., and will continue for several weeks, one club hustling for one week and then getting out, and another club taking its place. A careful census is now being made of the colored men and boys in the city, and the plan is to reach every one of them during the campaign. The membership campaign plans were given a mighty boost the early part of the week by a pleasant and mose unexpected visit from Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the great Chicago Jewish philanthropist, who has done more than any other one man in the country to encourage and extend the work among colored men by his gifts of $25,000 for "Y" buildings for colored men costing $10,000 or more. Mr. Rosenwald was accompanied by Mr. William E. Sweet, president of the Denver Y. M. C. A., and State Secretary Mr. Hopkins. Mr. Rosenwald was greatly pleased with the site and with the prospects of the work, and declared that Denver ought to have as good a building for colored men as any other city in the country. This was followed Monday morning by the appearance in the daily papers of the article which appears on the front page of this paper. Inspired by this splendid bit of news the committee of management became more determined than ever to put over the great drive for 500 members, and then some more, during the weeks the campaign is in progress. The influence and sympathy of every man and boy in Denver are sought in this great and mighty effort beginning October 20th. NOTICE On and after Oct. 7th, Dr. Huff will be in his new office, 2537 Washington street, opposite his old location. A They Are Your Neighbors These folks are your neighbors.

There are several rocking chairs and a table in the room. Interior of Community Rest House. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A few energetic women decided last summer that Roswell, N. Mex., needed a central meeting place and a room where women and children might rest. A large number of country women made Roswell their shopping center, and there was no place where they might brush off the dust and straighten their hats when they arrived in town, nor rest when they weared of shopping. How to meet such a need became the concern of the home-demonstration agent of the United States department of agriculture and the State Agriculture college. Search located a six-room cottage almost opposite a leading hotel. The building was in wretched condition but the location was good. The rent was $25 a month and there were no furnishings. Expenses Contributed. The woman's club of the town gave $85 for initial expenses and its members also donated much of the furni- BOYS ARE LEARNING HOW TO MAKE BREAD BOYS ARE LEARNING HOW TO MAKE BREAD Clubs Are Popular Projects in Massachusetts. Young People Realize How Necessary Good Bread Is for Health and Enjoyment—Household Duties Are Also Taught. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)

Better Bread and More of It Results From Bread Club Activities. well as girls. From the number enrolled in these clubs apparently the young people realize how necessary good bread is for health and enjoyment. Last year 18,583 young people in the boys' and girls' clubs learned the art of making bread. At Salem, Mass., 78 applied for membership in the bread-making club, and, strange as it may seem, more boys than girls applied. As a consequence two classes are being conducted for the boys and one for the girls. Sixty hours of work, with a written report and an exhibit at the end of the contest, which closed April 15, are required. Besides bread-making the boys and girls are taught all kinds of household tasks which can be properly done by boys and girls from 10 to 18. Every member of the club who completes the course satisfactorily will receive a club achievement pin.

The city council voted $12.50 for upkeep and a canvass of business men resulted in a large number agreeing to pay $1 a month toward the care of the place. The owner of the house, as his gift, had the rooms papered, painted, and cleaned. New gifts of furnishings are still arriving. The stove, donated for the office, had been used in the city jail. Curtains of cretonne and scrim, with plenty of cushions, add a homelike appearance. Duties of Matron. The matron, with her mother, uses the rear room for housekeeping and a portion of a large room, known as the children's play room, is curtained off for their bed. One of the duties of the matron is to care for all children whose parents desire to leave them there while shopping. The building is used as a meeting place, rest room, and lunch room by a number of clubs, rural people, and working girls. A committee of nine, known as the community house board of control, meets monthly and transacts business. USED AS MEAT SUBSTITUTES On Account of Protein Eggs Are Valu- able Food—Easy to Digest by Children and Invalids. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Every egg contains about six or seven grams of protein of the same value as that of meat. For this reason eggs are widely used as meat substitutes. Children and invalids often find them easier to digest than meat, as they lack the fibrous connective tissues that meat contains. Because they supply iron and phosphorus as well as protein the yolks of eggs should be included in the daily diet of every child after the end of the first year. The yolks also supply growth-promoting fat-soluble food which adds to their value. AVOID APPLE DISCOLORATION After Paring Put Them Into Weak Salt Solution—Silver Knife Is Better Than Steel. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) To prevent apples which are to be served raw from becoming discolored, put them, after paring, into a very weak salt solution (1 to 2 per cent), the United States department of agriculture suggests. A silver knife is better to use for paring apples, pears and other fruits than one of steel, as the steel frequently discolors the fruit and sometimes leaves a noticeable flavor.

SHIFT OF SENATORS IN TREATY BATTLE SEVERAL LISTED IN FAVOR OF PACT AS IT STANDS LINE UP WITH OTHER GROUP. WANT MILD RESERVATIONS These Will Probably Be Adopted, Since the More Radical Members of the Foreign Relations Committee Haven't Full Support in Senate. BY EDWARD B. CLARK Washington—There has been a rapid shift in senatorial scenery on the stage from which is presented the international drama of the League of Nations. It looks today as if the covenant of the league and the pact of peace are to be sanctioned by the senate of the United States, but with reservations of a kind which will set forth definitely the understanding which the United States has of certain articles of the document and by which this country intends to stand in the future. The reason for the belief, shared by all parties to the controversy, that reservations will be adopted, is to be found in the recent pronouncements of several senators who were supposed to be favorable to the covenant as it stands, that they cannot support it unless certain reservations are included. Several Democratic senators counted on from the first as supporters of the president's position already have announced that they are in favor of certain milder changes which have been recommended by other senators who from the first have been in favor of the league but who also from the first have declared themselves as favorable to what they call American reservations. The report of the majority of the committee on foreign relations has been made to the senate; accompanying it there is a minority report. The majority report recommends certain reservations which some men hold to be so radical as to necessitate the recommittal of the treaty to the representatives of the great powers. The minority report favors the treaty as it stands. Three Factions in the Senate. In the committee on foreign relations the proportion of members who are opposed to the treaty, and therefore necessarily to mild reservations thereto, is greater than the proportion in the senate proper. This means that the committee majority cannot hope in the open senate for the solid majority support of its reported reservations that it secured in the committee. The fight is now on, and largely it centers on the compromise which must be made if mild reservations are to take the place of the drastic ones recommended by Committee Chairman Lodge and his supporting committee colleagues. There are three factions fighting and they are not divided according to party lines. There are at least four senators who would like to see the treaty killed out of hand; one of them is a Democrat while the other three are Republicans, although it is much more than a probability that another Democratic senator, who thus far has not said much on the subject, also is opposed to the league in toto. There have been almost as many suggestions concerning compromises as there are senators who are in favor of such compromises. Today, however, it looks as if the reservations which finally will be adopted will follow the lines to a certain extent of those proposed by Senator McCumber and acquiled in, in considerable part, at least, by a number of Republicans, and, it is believed, by several Democrats. Changes in Senate Personnel. Newspaper correspondents and others whose duties frequently take them to the capital wonder sometimes if the people realize the changing nature of the personnel of the senate. The senate always has been considered a body not so thoroughly representative of the people as the house, and yet the changes which occur in the membership of the senate are something like startling. Today there are only eleven United States senators who were in the upper chamber sixteen years ago, when the writer of this first came to Washington as a correspondent. This means that there are eighty-five men in the upper chamber, who were not there sixteen years ago, and, as a senator's term is six years the fact is made even the more remarkable. To put it another way: There are eighty-five senators in the upper chamber who have started their services for the country since the year 1903. The thing might be put also in another way: While there are eighty-five senators who have been in the upper chamber less than sixteen years, there have been any number of senators to come and to go within that period. One must go into the hundreds when he figures on the changes which have been made in the membership of the senate in the last sixteen years. This makes things look as if the people had something directly to say about who should represent them in the upper chamber. Senator Lodge Holds Record. Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts has the longest continuous service of any senator of the United States. He entered the senate March 4, 1893, and has served ever since. Three senators, Francis E. Warren of Wyoming, Thomas S. Martin of Virginia and Knute Nelson of Minnesota, entered the senate together on March 4, 1895, and have served continuously. Senator Warren, however, served as United States senator from Wyoming from December 1, 1890, to March 4, 1893. He has served a longer time, therefore, as a senator than any other man in the upper chamber, but, as will be seen, his service was not continuous. Bolse Penrose of Pennsylvania entered the senate March 4, 1897. Charles A. Culberson of Texas, and Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota, entered together March 4, 1899, and have served continuously. William P. Dillingham of Vermont, entered the senate October 18, 1900, and F. M. Simmons of North Carolina, entered on March 4, 1901, and both still are serving. Lee S. Overman of North Carolina and Reed Smoot of Utah entered March 4, 1903 and still are in their seats. Many Old-Timers Recently Died. The senate of sixteen years ago had in it a good many of the old school men. Some of them left their senatorial duties rather recently; and, of these old ones who have gone from the senate, depth has claimed many. Sixteen years ago the state of Maine, for instance, was represented by William P. Frye and Eugene Hale. Senator Hale died a few months ago, and Senator Frye only a comparatively short time ago. These men served continuously for upwards of thirty years in the upper house. With these two men of Maine in the old senate sixteen years ago were Senators Morgan and Pettus of Alabanna. Morgan is known as the father of the oceanic canal project. He and his aged colleague literally died in the service of their country. There were two Platts in the senate of sixteen years ago, but two men more dissimilar in type and temperament cannot well be conceived. One of them was Thomas Platt of New York, and the other Orville Platt of Connecticut. They have both gone to the beyond. The question is frequently asked in Washington if the quality, if one may so put it, of the senators has improved or deteriorated since they have been elected by direct vote. This is a question which one who writes in a general way would prefer not to try to answer, and he certainly would refrain from any attempt to answer it in a specific way, with names and comparisons. Congress has been asked to appropriate a considerable sum of money to enable the health services of the government to combat the influenza, grip, Spanish flu, or whatever the proper name is for the "demon who decimated" last year. The government health authorities seem to believe that this fall the influenza threatens to return. Congress, it is believed, will grant the funds necessary to prevent the return of the flu, if it can be prevented, and to combat it if it enters the field as a fighter against human life as it did last year. It is recognized in congress that this matter literally is of vital importance and, therefore, necessarily of vital interest to the people of the United States. The hope of the medical authorities is that the awful scenes of a year ago may not be repeated. Of course the country has not anything like as many soldiers in camp this year as it had last year, but, dreadful as the disease was in the military camps of this country and in France, it was no more dreadful than in the homes of the civilians. This is a country-wide matter of concern and the government officials know it. Recently certain instructions have been issued in a general way by the health officials concerning precautions which should be taken by individuals. "Keep warm" may be given as the summary of first advice. There are medical men who, in view of the fact that the young particularly were attacked last year, are bold enough to say that if young girls would wear more clothes than they do they might escape the "cold consequences." Fresh Air a Good Medicine. All the doctors of all the schools, so far as Washington is concerned at any rate, seem to recognize the fact that fresh air is mighty good medicine, and, at times, a mighty good substitute for medicine, if one may put it that way. The writer of this was in France last year at the time of the height of the flu epidemic. The records show that the soldiers who were living in the open were not afflicted with the influenza in as great numbers proportionately as were the soldiers who were living in close quarters. It did not follow, however, that those who did contract the disease at the front were any more likely to recover than those who did so while stationed in the sections of the country back of the advanced zone. When the final records are prepared it probably will be shown that the men leading the open-air life with all its hardships, even to the extent of being frequently soaked by cold rains, succumbed to the disease in smaller numbers than the men who were carefully housed. It is probable that out of the three or four millions of men in the army, a greater number had the flu than out of an equal number of civilians, but it must be remembered that virtually all the men in the army were young, while among four million civilians taken haphazard there are young, middle-aged and old. Youth was the shining mark for the influenza. It was no respecter of nationalities or of races. To Friends and Strangers of Denver Attention!

SPEECHES ARE LIMITED BOTH SIDES ELATED, CLAIMING VICTORY FOR SHOWING MADE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Oct. 3.—At last reaching the stage of action in its consideration of the peace treaty, the Senate swept aside in quick succession thirty-six of the forty-five amendments which had been written into the document by the foreign relations committee. The smallest majority recorded against any of the committee proposals was fifteen, and the largest was twenty-eight. All of the amendments considered had been introduced by Senator Fall, Republican, New Mexico, and were designed to curtail American participation in European settlements resulting from the war. Of the nine amendments yet to be acted on, six relate to the Shantung section, two propose to equalize voting power in the League of Nations, and one would limit American representation on the reparations commission. In the absence of a definite agreement for disposition of these proposals, Senate leaders thought that the debate might run on for several days before another roll call is taken. Throughout the voting the Democrats presented a solid front against the amendments except for Senators Gore of Oklahoma and Thomas of Colorado. Seventeen Republicans, on the other hand, lined against the first committee proposal to be considered, and most of them stood with the Democrats on all succeeding roll calls. Many of them announced they were for reservations which they believed would cover the same ground without endangering the treaty. At adjournment the treaty advocates declared themselves elated at the day's work and the opposition leaders also were claiming a victory on the showing made for their amendments. They mustered a minimum strength of thirty-one, which, with absentees, would be sufficient, they declare, to insure the treaty's defeat unless unsatisfactory qualifications are accepted. Thirty-three negative votes on the final roll call, they pointed out, would make impossible the two-thirds majority necessary for ratification. Under a special agreement, speeches on the amendments were limited to five minutes and nearly half the Senate membership got into the running debate which occupied most of the day. French Ratify Treaty Paris.—The Chamber of Deputies ratified the German peace treaty by a vote of 372 to 53. The chamber then took up the treaties between France and the United States and France and Great Britain. The Franco-American and Franco-British treaties were unanimously ratified. For New Ministry. Belgrade.—A new ministry has been formed under the presidency of Stoyan Protitch, who resigned in August owing to his inability to agree with the other cabinet members. Kidnap American Engineer. New York.—A report that another American has been kidnapped by Mexican bandits and is being held for ransom has been received by the National Association for the Protection of American Rights in Mexico. The report quotes the Mexico City newspaper Excelsior, as authority for the story. The American, by the name of Spiller, is said to have been an engineer on a plantation in the state of Vera Cruz. The Excelsior says the Mexican government has sent troops in pursuit of the kidnappers. President "Very Sick Man." Washington.—President Wilson is a "very sick man" and "his condition is less favorable," it was said by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, the President's physician, in a statement issued from the White House. "After consultation with Dr. F. X. Dercum of Philadelphia, Doctors Sterling Ruffin and E. R. Stitt of Washington, which are agreed as to his condition, it was determined that absolute rest is esesential for some time." Foreign Trade Growing. Washington. — The United States' trade with foreign nations has grown enormously and reached $10,500,000,000 a year with a balance in favor of this country amounting to $4,182,000,000. Statistics for the year ending Aug. 31, just issued by the Department of Commerce, show that the year's commerce exceeded that of last year by more than one and one-half billion dollars. Exports for the year were $7,415,000,000 and imports $3,233,000,000. THE KITCHEN CABINET If you were busy being kind, Before you knew it you would find You'd soon forget to think 'twas true That someone was unkind to you. If you were busy being glad And cheering people who are sad, Although your heart might ache a bit You'd soon forget to notice it. SOME FAVORITE DISHES. This time of the year is filled with such sunshine days, and even warm ones, that it is well to keep to the lighter foods and simple repasts until the first chilly days which give the appetite a zest and vigor. S The oyster now has come again to his own and is served fresh, preferably, though in a stew, fried, creamed or escalloped will always be popular with many. Creamed Fresh Beef.—Chop one pound of beef from the round; put into a hot pan and stir until all is seared. Add one tablespoonful of butter and, as soon as it is melted, dredge the beef with one tablespoonful of flour; stir until the flour is browned. Add one cupful of cream, boll up, season with salt and pepper and serve on hot toast. Delmonico Hash.—Take a pound of finely chopped meat from the top of the round, put it into a hot frying pan with two tablespoonfuls of butter, one small-shredded onion and cook until the beef is nicely browned; add one-half cupful of hot water; or, better, soup stock, and eight chopped potatoes, previously cooked. Season with salt, paprika and chopped parsley. Cheese and Olive Canapes.—Cut stale bread into one-quarter-inch slices. Shape with a small oblong cutter with rounded corners. Cream butter and add an equal quantity of soft, rich cheese; season with salt. Spread on the bread and garnish with one-quarter-inch border of finely chopped olives and a piece of red and green pepper cut in fancy shapes in the center of each. Moravian Apple Pie.—Core and pure six even-sized apples. Place in a covered pan, with a teaspoonful of lemon juice, a little of the yellow rind, a cupful of sugar and water enough to cover the bottom of the dish. Stew until tender. Line a deep pastry plate with rich pastry; place the apples in it, fill the centers with peach marmalade and put strips of pastry over the top. Bake in a quick oven and serve with cream. Russel Sandwiches.—Take an equal amount of cold boiled chicken and tongue, a dozen olives and six hard-cooked eggs; mix all together and chop as fine as possible. Work into a paste by the addition of mayonnaise dressing, then season and spread on buttered bread. "To judge with cander and speak no wrong. The feeble to support against the strong. To soothe the wretched and the poor to feed. Will cover many an idle, foolish deed." THE SEASONABLE WORD. In the autumn, when there is such an abundance of vegetables, the frugal when there is such vegetables, the frugal housewife will provide for winter, when there is less of a choice. ```markdown ``` Olive Oil Pickles. —Take 100 small cucumbers sliced thin, leaving on the peeling, three pints of small onions also sliced thin, three ounces of white mustard seed, one ounce of celery seed, one ounce of white pepper, two scant cupfuls of olive oil. Add one and two-thirds cupfuls of salt, and add to the cucumbers; let stand three hours. Let the sliced onions stand in cold water three hours. Drain well, and mix the onions and cucumbers with the oil and the spices. Put into jars, and fill the jars with good vinegar. Keep in a cold place. Good in ten days. Corn Relish.—Cut corn from twelve ears, chop one small head of cabbage, sprinkle salt over the cabbage, mix well and let stand three hours. Drain off the water and put corn and cabbage together; add one cupful of sugar, two quarts of vinegar, one-half cupful of mustard, four small red peppers chopped. Cook all until tender, then put into sterile cans and seal. Piccalilli.—Take two gallons of green tomatoes chopped fine, eight large onions also chopped, three quarts of vinegar, six tablespoonfuls of mustard seed, one tablespoonful each of cloves, allspice and inace, one tablespoonful of celery seed and two pounds of granulated sugar. Let the tomatoes and onions stand over night, sprinkled with salt; drain in the morning and mix with the spices and boil until tender. Mint Vinegar—Put into a quart jar enough fresh mint, carefully washed and dried, to fill it loosely, fill up with vinegar and let stand well covered for three weeks. Strain, bottle and cork, and the flavored vinegar will keep for years. Tarragon, chervil or any other herb may be used in the same man- ner. Mushrooms make fine catsup. Arrange in layers in salt and let stand over night. Drain and cook with spices as one's taste desires. Nellie Maxwell Amusing Story That the Late Colonel Roosevelt Used to Tell of "Big Tim" Sullivan. "Most men, I believe, are good citizens, according to their lights. Take 'Big Tim' Sullivan for example. "Tim came to me while I was in the White House to get a pardon for a friend. The man was in Atlanta for blowing a post office safe, shooting the watchman and I know not what. "Tim was insistent that he had reformed and that he'd go straight if he were pardoned. The post office folk did not think so, neither did the department of justice. But Tim was so sure, so positive, that I decided to favor him. "I'll give you this pardon, Tim," said I, 'on one condition. You must take it to Atlanta yourself, see this man before he has a chance to see any of his old pals and warn him that if he goes wrong again he will not only be punished to the limit, but will have to finish out this sentence as well. There will be no mercy for him. And at the end of the year I want you to bring the fellow here and let me know how he's made out.' "Tim agreed to this. He would have agreed to anything, and kept his agreement, too. He got the pardon and went his way. I forgot all about the thing until just one year ago. I was told Tim was waiting to see me. He had an appointment, he told the attendant. "Mr. President,' said he, when he came in. "I've come about that fellow Blank. You know I told me to bring him here when he'd been out a year and let you know how he's acting. He's outside now.' "Yes, I remember,' I told him. 'How has he been doing?' "He's been perfect, Mr. President,' said the big fellow. 'When I got him to New York I put him to work behind a wheel in a gambling house, and he's been doing fine ever since.' "That was good behavior, as Big Tim saw it!"—McClure's Magazine. Humorous Aboriginal Belief. Humorous Aboriginal Better. Australian natives tell queer stories of creation, each tribe having a different legend. One tribe says that in the beginning the earth opened up in the midst of Perigundi lake and various birds and animals came out. They lay down in the sun to be "finished" into human beings by its rays. When the finishing process was over they got up and walked away. Another tribe says that before man was made a tribe of magical creatures, known as "Mura-muras," lived on the earth. While one of these was hunting a kangaroo the animal hopped out of sight. Parulina, as the hunter was called, asked some old women where it had gone, but they lied to him, as they had killed it. He became angry, and seeing some half-finished bodies lying on the ground he straightened out their limbs, blew in their ears so they could hear, and rammed some clay down their throats, and clear through their bodies, to make them stiff. These then became men, and he continued to make more men and women. No German Strong Man. Lamenting the lack of strong personalities among his countrymen, Admiral Hollweg writes in the Deutsche Tageszeitung: "This want of character among our leading men lost us the war. To begin with, the kaiser was plainly unequal to the tasks laid upon him. In his restless activity before the war he had used up whatever nerve strength he ever had. I well remember the painful impression made upon me by the meeting of the cabinet at which I was present on March 28, 1916. We had to discuss the prospects of the Ubauts. "The chancellor," Hollweg says, "sat in a general's uniform in the president's chair puffing quickly at a cigar, the picture of nervous prostration. The chief of the admiralty made a long speech, giving a most-gloomy outline and blaming Von Tirpitz for all that was happening. Not a man at the table there, it was plain, was strong enough either to end or mend the war. No wonder we lost." Deadly "Earth Torpedo." Added to the list of interesting but tardy war inventions is a so-called "earth torpedo" of Canadian origin, described by Popular Mechanics magazine. It bores its subterranean way toward the enemy lines, and then explodes with great force. The burrowing operation is hydraulic. The nose of the torpedo is equipped with an ingenious boring nozzle, and takes with it a length of hose, which a pump in the trench supplies with water at 300-pound pressure. This part of the performance is silent. In a test, the device burrowed 200 feet and then blasted out an excavation 20 feet across. Where Janet Excelled. Rupert and Frank were much smitten with the two little girls who were camping in the cabin next to them. Helen was Rupert's favorite and Janet was Frank's. Unobserved I heard them discussing the merits of each sweet-heart. "Helen's the prettiest, don't you think?" asked Rupert. "Maybe she is," conceded Frank; "but Janet's the swimmingest."—Chicago Tribune. Effort to Classify: "What is the difference between a bandit and a brigand?" "Not much," replied the Mexican citizen. "My impression is that a bandit is a Villista and a brigand is a Carranzista." WESTERN BEEF CO. Shitterlings, Pig Tails, Snouts, Ears, Pigs Feet, Neck Noses, Spare Ribs Received Ffesh Daily.

There Are Many Fancy Suits The goddess of the looms must have fingered about American silk mills when designers were planning this season's ribbons. And she was in a happy and opulent mood, for the utmost in weaving has blossomed in ribbons that are all the way from gay to gorgeous. The richness of autumn's colorful days, with sunshine and moonshine, all are reflected in brocaded ribbons heavy with gold and silver threads and very brilliant in sheen and color. So much beauty fures one away from the consideration of its price which is very high. But only small quantities of the most gorgeous ribbons appear in any apparel or dress accessories, except for evening dresses. In these wide metal-braided ribbons are used with some generosity. Mostly the wide and brilliant ribbons are used for making shopping bags and purses, in the crowns of hats or in sashes on hats and for vests in dresses and suits. In evening dresses of tulle or crepe or lace they make brilliant panels or birdles and occasionally a handsome afternoon frock looks to them for a touch of splendor in the girdle. There Are Ma A stroll through establishments, whose styles we know to be authoritative soon verifies the assertion made by manufacturers that tailored suits are growing fancier. That is the first impression to be gathered from almost any display. But one must not draw conclusions too quickly. It has come to the place where there are several distinct types of the tailored suit, including the knock-about suit, the walking suit and the promenade suit (which must be another name for what we have known as the formal suit.) The knock-about and walking suits will please those who are wedded to severe tailor-made, while promenade and formal suits are for those who like departures from this type. Probably the influence of French ideas has promoted the success of the fancier tailored suits, for the severe type has never been a faqorite with Parts. Where there is no place for a gay or frivolous or dainty touch to apparel. French designers seem to feel hampered; they do not like the type of suit that attends strictly to the business of being practical and well made. They delight in unexpected little decorative touches that have no reason for existing, except to be interesting and good looking. All the new glove finish fabrics—and their name is legion—promote the cause of fancier suits. Duvety, velours, duvet and their like, are very soft with surfaces that vary, but are never hard. Close behind them trico- --- But bags and purses account for more yards of magnificent ribbon than other accessories. Between now and Christmas there will be a lively business at the ribbon counter where mountings for bags are sold along with the ribbon to make them. In the picture above a purse and a bag are shown. The long purse is a black satin brocaded in silver. And the bag is in brilliant colors striped with black, mounted on a black celluloid frame. The story of plain satin ribbons, for little bags and numberless other trifles that women love, is much longer than that of the splendid brocades. There are innumerable trinkets made of ribbon. A little face powder bag of satin ribbon is shown in the picture. It has a small round mirror in the bottom and narrow satin ribbon handles that draw up and close the top. It serves to carry a small box of powder and a convenient puff. Hair ribbons for little girls are shown in many pretty striped varieties and taffeta remains the favorite for hair bows, which with bags, keep a gay stream of ribbons flowing over the ribbon counter. ny Fancy Suits tine and gabardine lend themselves to promenade suits by their texture. A fine example in a tricotine model for fall and winter wear is shown in the accompanying picture. It shows allegiance to the last decrees for longer skirts and coats and presents odd emplacements of material on the skirt and coat, with braid, buttons, and buttonholes cleverly managed to elaborate both. The collar is unusual with straight revers that extend over the shoulder and widen at the back into a small square cape. The coat is open to the waistline at the front, making plenty of opportunity for a fancy blouse or vestee. The choker of fur is a separate affair. The choker collar is everywhere present, but is often convertible and is either of fur or fur fabric or of the material in the suit. Belts are narrow and may be taken off so that the suit is worn with or without them. Occasionally a suit is shown with two belts, one of the fabric and one of leather. Not all coats are long. There are those of the short ripple variety that seem to be liked best in the dresser suits. Their bodies are semifitted. Sleeves are long and plain with occasional narrow turned-back cuffs for a small pointed flare, and skirts are ankle length and only moderately narrow, the hobble variety never having achieved success among smartly-dressed women. Julia Bottomley WASHINGTON CITY SIDELIGHTS Inventor Lifts Terrors of the Fog From Harbors Inventor Lifts Terrors of the Fog From Harbors WASHINGTON.—Ocean fog has been tamed by the navy, so that it will no longer be necessary for battleships and liners to lie outside harbors waiting a chance to creep in when the weather lightens. In a contract signed brings all shipping "In sight of land" and the new device, like a friendly hand, reaches out and takes the biggest of ships through the most tortuous channels safely and quickly to its pier. The new device is a simple one. A cable is laid in the center of the ship channel. Through it is sent an electric current of low frequency, which through the listening devices on board ship gives off a sound of certain pitch that cannot be mistaken for any other sound. The ship hugs the cable from harbor line to the dock. On the bridge and in the captain's cabin listening devices like telephone receivers are placed and attached by wires to the hull of the ship. The ship follows the course of the cable. Boys' Working Reserve Proves a Great Success FEW things that came out of the war have been of greater significance than the benefits derived from the United States Boys' Working reserve, though we are still too close to the movement to appreciate its results. Back in the of boys who went out to help the farmers with their work. In 1918 this army of boys from sixteen to twenty-one years old was more than 250,000 in the United States. Of these 250,000 no less than 21,000 were from the high schools of Illinois. So a glance at the Illinois report will give an idea of the results in the whole country. The Illinois boys produced crops worth $23,000,000 and earned for themselves $1,200,000. Less than 1 per cent of the boys have proved unworthy of the opportunity given them. About the same proportion of farmers proved anworthy of having a good boy sent them. The boys made the farmers open their eyes, and in a few weeks the skeptical farmer was saying: "Send me more boys; the boys are certainly making good." It wasn't long until there were boys scattered here and there by the thousands. This meant much to the farmers, for there was an average of one worker from every farm in service, and the boys took their places. Teachers bear witness that the effect upon the boys was exceedingly beneficial in all ways. "Buck Privates" Would Have "Dugouts" Everywhere "Buck Privates" Would Have "Dugouts" Everywhere IN THE long night watches on the firing line or in hospitals or rest billets, our fighting men found that tempus failed to fugit with its customary alacrity. They yearned for amusement. To be sure, there were various of initiation. The only qualification was that you had to be an overseas buck private. In order that the society may become a permanent institution the charter members, now discharged, are beginning a campaign for organization. The original overseas organizer, Private Paul F. Collins, Battery D, Sixth field artillery, lives in Los Angeles. He is president and chief buck private. But one of his comrades, First Sergeant Edward M. McGuire, opened headquarters the other day in Chicago as national field representative. "The Buck Privates' society in no way conflicts with the American Legion," Sergeant McGuire said. "In fact, I might say one of its aims is that of co-operation with the legion. There is no question that it will be the means of strengthening that body. We hope to establish a dugout in Chicago with a membership of at least 50,000 men." As its platform the society has adopted these planks: Broader educational work; cleaner politics; compulsory schooling for all, boys under sixteen in order to make bigger and better Americans, and active study of conditions in industry, commerce and labor. Women as Special Agents Under Food Control Act Women as Special Agents Under Food Control Act OFFICIAL consideration is to be given the appointment of women as special agents for the department of justice in the enforcement of the food control act. It has been said informally that a recommendation will be "I think women would be most valuable as agents in the enforcement* of this profiteer act, not only for clothing overcharges, but for food as well," said one of the officials of the department of justice. "Women have been the purchasers of these commodities for years and they ought to make good detectives of profiteers." Housewives who have long cherished the desire to get legal action against the retailer who has taken too much for little Johnny's shoes or the family beefsteak may yet have the gratification of pouring their woes into the ear of a feminine department of justice agent. It will be interesting to watch the effect on clothing and food prices should women agents be named. As the food administration acts during the war educated the women of the country, this new bill may give them additional insight into the matter of living and selling in quantities. ```markdown ``` brings all shipping "In sight of land" and reaches out and takes the biggest of ships safely and quickly to its pier.

Boys' Working Reserve F EW things that came out of the war the benefits derived from the Unite we are still too close to the movement early summer of 1917 President Wilson wrote: "I call upon the able-bodied boys of the land to turn in hordes to the farms and make certain that no pains and no labor are lacking in this great nation." The result was that "our second line of defense," as Mr. Hoover first called it, the Boys' Working reserve, was formed. There was a spontaneous response in every state, many schools and other organizations undertaking the work of placing thousands of boys who went out to help the farm of boys from sixteen to twenty-one year United States.

Women as Special Agent OFFICIAL consideration is to be special agents for the department food control act. It has been said inf made to name women among the agents necessary to enforcement of this new legislation. This recommendation will be placed before Frank Burke, chief of the bureau of investigations of the department of justice. The department of justice has employed women agents previously. A number of them did spy work in this country during the war. They were stationed in many of the larger cities of the country—New York, Boston, Chicago, Baltimore and others. "I think women would be most vex this profiteer act, not only for clothing, one of the officials of the department purchasers of these commodities for detectives of profiteers." Housewives who have long cheered against the retailer who has taken too family beefsteak may yet have the grief of a feminine department of justice.
