THE SOLUTION FOR SOME
NANCIAL PROBLEMS O
ONE among the most valuable lessons a person can learn at home or in school is that money is the representative of labor, a tangible compensation for efficient service and not a gift to be had merely for the asking." In those words George W. Blount, in an article in "The Southern Workman" outlines the solution for some of the economic and financial problems of the Negro citizen in America.
"A penny that is earned by a child is vastly more valuable to it than one obtained by soliciting. The growing boy or girl cannot possibly be taught a better lesson than to be compelled to render some kind of efficient service in return for his or her spending money. Even though the service be trivial, such as carrying wood, washing dishes, dusting or running errands, the value of the lesson remains.
"After earning money by working it becomes necessary that it should be spent wisely that the greatest mental, moral and financial benefits may be derived from it. If a child is merely taught to earn money just to spend it he is acquiring the habits of a spendthrift. Every parent owes a duty to the child in training it, first to earn largely and then spend wisely. Home training decided whether or not a child is to be thrifty or spendthrifty; a saver or a waster; a soldier in the great army of those who toil honestly or a slacker who exists at the expense of those who work.
"Thrift is just a little saved out of every pay envelope to help provide for the 'proverbial rainy day.' It is impossible for us to get upon our feet until we learn the saving habit, until we learn to save every nickle, every dime, every dollar that we can possibly spare.
"The habit of thrift is steadily increasing among Negroes and that is the thing that really counts. The records show that they were among those who purchased liberally of Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. To save for one thing helps a person to acquire the habit of saving generally and it is a habit that grows. Saving is like any other good habit. It requires constant effort on the part of individuals to acquire, cultivate and maintain it.
"If your besetting sin is American extravagance, the surest method of conquering that bad habit is to supplant it with a good one. Any method of saving is better than none because the time will surely come when you will not be able to save.
"If you wish to know whether you are going to succeed in life or not ask yourself the question: 'Am I able to save any part of my earning regularly and work go-operatively?' If you cannot do these things your case is very doubtful. The possession of money

by an individual or a race means education, independence, influence and power for the possessor; therefore it behooves the Negroes to be thrifty, economical and save all the money they can regardless of the size of their salaries—save anyhow. Negroes are learning to buy more of what they need and less of what they think they want."
APPOINTED PRINTER IN U. S. WEATHER REVIEW
St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 10.—Last Wednesday the United States Civil Service Commission certified the name of R. C. Fisher, 3450 Lawton Avenue, as being eligible for appointment to the position of Printer in the United States Weather Bureau, St. Louis, Mo. The appointment came as the result of a competitive examination held in this city several months ago by the Civil Service Examiners. Of the large number who were, examined, Mr. Fisher was the only colored applicant and made the highest average.
This young man is regarded as one of the few best all-around printers of the Race. He possesses distinctive Ideas of literary quality and expresses them definitely in all of his compositions. This style and taste of Art printing has at intervals attracted the attention of leading (white) journals of the "art preservative," in which he was commendably mentioned for his unusual creative ability in the grouping of type.
NAME HOSPITAL IN HONOR OF BOOKER T.
Middlesboro, Ky., Oct. 10.—The Booker T. Washington hospital was opened here on Wednesday, Oct. I. The first case on hand was that of a Caesarian operation performed on a young woman of this city by Drs. I. H. Miller, W. K. Evans and W. B. Schultz, Dr. T. M. Evans administered the anesthetic. The baby delivered was a boy weighing $10\frac{1}{2}$ pounds. The nurses in attendance were Miss N. Carmical; Mrs. J. M. Lewis and Mrs. Maggie Ealey. The hospital has established a nurse training department and several young women have matriculated.

Honor and Protect Your Women
IF the colored man has not already learned the lesson of "honoring and protecting his women" it is time that he was being taught the lesson, for it is an undisputed fact that the elevation of any race can only come through the elevation of its women. It is a little over a generation ago that the colored woman had no standing and the term womanhood was not broad enough in this so-called Christian land of ours to include colored women. In spite of the prejudice against her she has in a remarkable time emerged from obscurity and today she stands on a level with any other woman in the land.
"Good women" make it their highest aim to be "good wives." The race needs them and must depend upon them. When we come to calculate the forces that decide the destiny of a nation it must be confessed that the mightiest and greatest come from homes. Good homes, the very salt of society; the strength of any nation. We must have homes in which purity can be taught. Not homes that are police court breeders. We call upon every manly man in this country whenever he hears of reports being circulator broadcast over the land about the colored woman's inferiority and lack of virtue and other qualities of womanhood to brand the report as maliciously false. And another slur, and mean insinuation that should be stopped is the daily papers referring to our women as Negresses. Such low mean term has a tendency to make our women look odious in the eyes of the world. These reforms can be brought about if the colored men and women would take concerted actions against those agencies that are responsible for the sowing of the seeds of hatred and slander against our women and the race in general.—The Advocate.
Maddens Amendment Meets With Much Opposition
Washington, D. C., Oct. 6.—Efforts of Representative Madden of Illinois, and a group of Chicago Negroes to induce the interstate committee of the House to incorporate in the railroad control bill a measure abolishing the "Jim Crow" laws of the Southern states will prove barren of result. Not only have numerous members of the committee expressed themselves as opposed to attempting any such legislation, but Chairman Esch, in a statement has unqualifiedly declared himself as against any such radical procedure.
Chairman Esch said the right of Congress to eliminate the "Jim Crow" laws of the state is certainly debatable, and added that, even granting Congress to possess the right in its control of interstate commerce under the constitution, such a law would only serve to raise a great controversy in the states affected.
Chairman Esch says there should be no discrimination in the service accorded to any passengers on payment of like fare, but beyond requiring like service and adequate cars and equipment for Negroes, he does not believe anything will be done by Congress.
Members of the House declare positively there will be no attempt made to eliminate the "Jim Crow" laws in the Southern states, and they deplore the agitation of the question by Madden and his Negro friends at a time when the race question is regarded as acute throughout the country.
CHEYENNE, WYO., NEWS.
The Wyoming, Utah, and Idaho Missionary Baptist Association met in their first annual association here last week with the Second Baptist Church. During their session, the following resolutions were adopted deploring their spread of the lynch law from the South to the North and calling on Congress for legislation to cope with the situation.
The resolutions follow:
"Resolved, That we, the Baptist Association (colored), render thanks to the Almighty God, for the glorious achievement, and express our profound gratitudes to men of pride and honor, who fought so nobly in the air, on land and sea, and brought a triumphing victory to suffering humanity out of which the league of nations was born, out of which we hope all nations may soon rest in life long peace.
"We deplore the brutality of the mobs and lynching that is now going on in this nation.
"We are sorry to speak of these heinous crimes, that now stain the fair name of our country, who was the first of all the nations on the face of the earth among civilized countries to declare in favor of a world-wide democracy.
"We bow our heads and blush with shame, because of its far-reaching effect that is staining the fair name of our nation from north to south.
"There was a day when we could point at the bloody hands of the south, and say this awful condition existed only there.
"But no longer is it true. The fair name of our capitol, right in the door where every man should get a fair show, has been stained with blood and shame that can never be erased and in states where freedom of our race has ever been protected, it has gone down in shame.
"We herein condemn such treatment to all races and ask the present administration and congress assembled to call a halt to such.
Pastors present at the association were Reverend G. W. Hart of Salt Lake, A. J. Billingsley of Sunnyside, and Brannon of Ogden, Utah, Rev J. A. Wright of Phoenix, Ariz., and Rev C. O. Smith, pastor of the Baptist church of Cheyenne.
Thursday, the first night of the association, consisted of a service of praise, and welcome addresses by Rev J. T. Muse, Mrs. Norman Peniston, and response by Rev Brannon.
Sunday afternoon a splendid program conducted by Mrs. Lizzie Christian was rendered, consisting of songs, solos, papers, duet, and short addresses. The solos which were sung by Mr. H. C. Jefferson, Mrs. J. T. Muse, and Mrs. Lizzie Christian were excellent, as was also the duet sang by Mrs. Ida Anderson and Mrs. Norman Peniston. Other items on the program were a paper by Deacon Charles Horn on "How to Live for Christ, and paper by Mrs. Ida Anderson on "What Is the Object of Religion?"
Sunday night Dr. Hart preached a soul-stirring sermon on the text "Rise, Shine, for the Light Has Come." The association is contemplating on a great work. Something over 100 dollars was taken up during the session for missionary work.
The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Rev. Dr. G. W. Hart, re-elected moderator of Salt Lake; Rev. A. J. Billingsley of Sunnyside, Utah; was re-elected vice moderator and treasurer; Rev. Brannon, secretary, and Rev. G. O. Smith, missionary.
A paper read by Mrs. J. T. Muse was adopted by the association, which read as follows:
"We, the Second Baptist Church and friends, Cheyenne, Wyo., take this method to say that we pride ourselves on being able to have with us as spiritual guests and advisers for the past few days such noble and amiable characters as has been exhibited in the persons of Revs. G. W. Hart of Salt Lake, A. J. Billings-
RACE RIOTS AS A PERIL
NO article has come to our attention and more commendable than from the pen of Rev. John H. Holmes which appeared in the September issue of the Reconstruction Magazine. From start to finish the color question is intelligently discussed and we fell nothing short of its execution will satisfy the Negro. In part says the Reverend: "It is just this one and final thing, so naively expected and so earnestly asked, which has been denied. The nation reposed upon the Negro during the war responsibilities; and now, after the war, frustration! He is conscious, as he has never been before, of denial and outrage. For the first time in his life, he knows what he has done and what he deserves, and counts his exclusion therefore no longer as a doom but as a crime.
Such are the elements which have clashed in these bloody riots. From the legal standpoint there can be no partiality shown for black or white. The law-breaker's skin can have no color for judge or juror. The rioter, of whichever race, stands convicted of offense against the social order, which must pay the penalty of his offense without respect to persons.
Negro Has Real Grievances.
But there is a moral standpoint, as well as a legal; and here there is room for sympathy and favor. To every one who knows history, who hates oppression and cruelty, who loves his fellowmen as brethren in God, there must come, these days, a great tide of compassion for the Negro. Whatever his faults or crimes in these bitter hours of distillationment, his appeal reaches to the heart, and lays unshakable hold
ley of Sunnyside, Utah, and Rev. Brannon of Ogden, and J. A. Wright of Phoenix, Ariz.
"We accept and appreciate deep down in our hearts the fact that their presence has brought to us an inspiration for God, not to the church only but to all desiring the uplift of man and salvation of souls. Long may these men of God live and the like of them; and may they continue to go from country to country and from land to land delivering to others a similar message as those delivered to us in the past few days. When you depart for your several places, tail not to take with you the best wishes of this church and community."
Rev. C. H. Henderson of Boulder, Colo., was here Sunday acting in Rev. Pope's place as presiding elder. While here, he and Rev. Endicott were visitors to the association Sunday afternoon and made brief addresses.
Mrs. Ada Hawkins, the wife of Mr. Monroe Hawkins of the Ninth Cavalry, who is now in the Philippines, died last week and was buried Friday, Oct. 10th.
Mrs. Franklin, the daughter of Mrs. Chambers of this city, died in Laramie last week and was buried here Friday, Oct. 10.
Mrs. A. Palmer and son Willis are in the city, visiting with Mrs. Allia Smith, while looking after some business matters here. She has rented their home here and are making Grand Island, Neb., their home for a short time.
NO. 52.
upon every sense of decency, honor, fair play, and simple brotherhood. In the greatest crisis in human history, the Negro was used to the limit and proved himself a valiant servant of a great cause. Now, when the crisis is over, he finds himself thrown aside, hated and spat upon as much as ever, banished politically, industrially and socially from the circle of his fellows. What wonder that he feels himself betrayed, and acts as other men have always acted under this same circumstance! What he does may not be right, in the rioting has not been right; but it is at least human, and has abundant precedent.
And to every one who knows history and hates oppression and cruelty, and loves his fellow-men as brethren in God—and also has some common sense!—there comes at this hour not only compassion but conviction! The whole situation from the standpoint of cause and cure, is eminently simple:
(1) Cause? A great race, smitten with sorrow, dowered with genius, tested by great achievement, demands to be received into the human family. The last, but not the least, of the brethren, calls for recognition:
(2) Cure? This demand must be granted—this call answered! We might as well learn first as last—before disaster instead of after disaster—that there is no settlement of the Negro question short of equality and brotherhood. The white man cannot afford to offer, the black man cannot afford to accept, anything less. Still today it is as true as yesterday that "A house divided against itself cannot stand."—The Pullman Porters' Review.
Congressional Investigation Of Race Riots
Congressional Investigation Of Race Riots
BOTK houses of Congress are now being asked to pass resolutions calling for congressional investigation of race riots and lynching in the United States, according to announcement of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Following the introduction of such a resolution in the Senate by Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas on September 22nd, Representative L. C. Dyer of Missouri introduced an almost identical resolution in the House of Representatives on October 2nd.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urges every Colored man and woman in the country to leave no doubt in the minds of Senator Curtis and Representative Dyer that United States citizens endorse those resolutions and want full light on race relations in this country.
The resolutions can be endorsed by telegraphing or writing to Senator Curtis and Representative Dyer in Washington, D. C. It is as urgent to endorse the Dyer resolution as the one of Senator Curtis in order to assure the passage of at least one of them.

WASHINGTON CITY
SIDELIGHTS
WASHINGTON.—Congress is likely to take a hand in the question of the unionization of the police force and its affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. If it does, it will come about in this way: In Washington, instead of the issue going to a strike, it has been taken to the courts by the police union. The union has asked for an injunction preventing the commissioners of the District of Columbia from carrying out their orders that any member of the force found to belong to a union affiliated with a labor organization would be discharged, on the ground that their right to organize is illegally interfered with.
The pressure of the American Federation, with its four million members, is being used in Washington to win recognition of the police union. The District commissioners, on the other hand, have taken a position from which, they assert, they will not retire—that no member of the force may belong to a police union affiliated with a labor organization. The commissioners have full jurisdiction, but already the contest has extended to congress and it is likely that before the struggle is ended a vote on some phase of the question will be forced.
For example, Senator Myers of Montana proposed in the senate that congress interpose by refusing to vote the pay of any member of the Washington police force who belonged to a union. In pointing out the national importance of the question the Montana senator said:
"If the police department of the District of Columbia is permitted to unionize and affiliate with a superior body of organized labor, you may be sure that the police forces all over the country will follow suit and do the same thing."
Senator Thomas of Colorado said he thought congress should inform the District commissioners that it was squarely behind them.
Wanted by Uncle Sam: A Deputy Game Warden
THE United States department of agriculture is in need of a well-qualified man, not less than twenty-five nor more than forty-five years old, to fill a vacancy in the position of deputy chief United States game warden, and the United States civil service commis-
United States civil service commission will give a most practical open competitive test to secure the right man. The entrance salary will be between $2,500 and $3,000 a year. Headquarters will be in Washington, D. C. The duties of the position are to assist in administering the law which gives effect to the treaty between the United States and Great Britain for the protection of migratory birds and the sections of the United States penal code known as the Loews act; in the
code known as the Lacey act, in the supervision of the United States game wardens and deputies in the gathering of evidence and the preparation of cases for prosecution of alleged violations of the federal game laws, and in office administration; and to participate in conferences, in and out of Washington, with individuals and organizations interested in wild life conservation.
In accordance with its practice in connection with positions of this class, the examination given by the civil service commission will not require the applicants to appear in an examination room for a mental test. Those who apply will receive a rating on their education and practical experience, weighted at 80 per cent, and on a thesis on a selected game conservation subject, weighted at 20 per cent. Those who attain a passing grade will later be given an oral test to determine their personal qualifications for the position. Failure in this oral test will render the applicant ineligible for appointment. Applications will be received by the civil service commission up to and including October 28. Full information and application blanks may be obtained from the secretary of the local board of civil service examiners at the post office or customhouse in any of 3,000 cities, or by writing to the United States civil service commission, Washington, D. C.
Army Gas Masks Are Proving Extremely Versatile
ARMY gas masks are proving extremely versatile. A vaudeville comedian facetiously uses a gas mask to protect himself against the hot air of his fellow comedian; while in a more serious way, the worker in a match factory renders himself invulnerable to deadly chlorine fumes by wearing an army mask.
An engineer wrote to the chemical warfare service of the war department asking for a gas mask, because he was growing old and could not stand the smoke which flooded the engine cab whenever the train passed through a tunnel. The mask was sent, and the engineer wrote that it saved him his position. Other engineers have since bought masks for the same pur-

She explained that she had just opened her New York house, and that moths were positively eating up her clothes and house furnishings. Her butter, ordered to fumigate, had purchased a large quantity of formaldehyde and three dozen sulphur candles. He sprayed formaldehyde all over the house, and lighted the three dozen candles. The fumes soon became so strong that it was impossible to stay in the house, and she had hurried after a gas mask in order to have some one open the windows. Her footman, who had been in the army, fitted on the mask and entered the house without being at all affected by the fumes. The woman's pets, a monkey, cat and parrot, were all found dead in the house.
AUTOMOBILE thieves will find their activities dangerous if the senate passes a bill recommended to it by the house. The bill was introduced in congress by Representatives L. C. Dyer and C. A. Newton of Missouri. It is a
gress by representatives compromise between one designed by the St. Louis men and one by the National Automobile Dealers' association. Under the provisions of the bill a penitentiary sentence awaits any one who steals an automobile, buys a stolen car, or has one in his possession, knowing the car to be stolen property, or drives a stolen car from one state to another. Automobile dealers have long waited for a federal law to protect their organizations, have
them. Their organization urged the members of Congress to pass a law rather than to let each state handle this matter. With federal law on the books there would be no conflict between in various states, as the law would be the same in all. The bill follows:
includes the following.
"Section 2. Whoever shall in any state, territory, or the District of Columbia, steal or unlawfully take, carry away, or conceal, with intent to convert to his own use, any automobile, automobile truck, or any other motor vehicle, or shall buy or receive or have in his possession any such automobile, automobile truck or any other motor vehicle, knowing the same to have been stolen, or shall thereafter, in any other manner or means transport such automobile, automobile truck, or other motor vehicle in interstate commerce, to any other state, territory, or the District of Columbia, or to a foreign country, shall be deemed guilty of a felony and upon conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment for not more than en years."

Justice Is Absent.
Recently the county judge ordered Mrs. Loman to appear in court "within twenty-four hours" to show cause why she should not be removed as guardian of her children. She appeared with her lawyers, and protested against her removal, but the court appointed Whittinton. Cases of this type are not strange. Several wealthy estates owned by our people have been gobbled up by white speculators, who resorted to political power to gain control.
Okmulgee, Okla., Oct. 10.—The legal fight to protect the valuable oil lands inherited by Zerleasia, Sadie and Chas. Loman, Jr., aged 9, 4 and 2, respectively, from going into the hands of white men has been fruitless. Judge Cleveland of Okmulgee county has appointed J. E. Whittinton, a white banker of Henryetta, an exclusive settlement twelve miles south of here, where our people are not permitted to live, as guardian of the wealthy estate. This means that land valued at over two million will pass technically from one race to another.

The tangled affairs of the real estate came into court when Charles Loman, father of the children, died about a year ago near Beggs. The estate at that time was worth $25,000, embracing about 300 acres of land. A few months later the mother of the children and their natural guardian, was appointed by Judge Cleveland. Since that time the estate has developed val

SPECIAL ELECTION TO DETERMINE TRAMWAY FARE ORDINANCE.
ON WEDNESDAY, October 22nd, the voice of the people will be heard again in the casting of their votes for or against the Elastic Six-cent Fare for the Tramway Company, or the service-at-cost plan. The result promises to save any further friction or trouble of any kind if the elastic fare is carried, as according to the draft of the ordinance agreed on by the City Council and the Tramway Company, a Board of Control, consisting of three members, one appointed by the mayor, one by the City Council, one by the Tramway Company, will see that fairness is given to the public, as the receipts and expenses recorded by the company will always be inspected by the board, and whenever a decrease in fare is possible the same will take place, also if an increase is necessary to successfully operate then the people will be assured of the same strict supervision and investigation. Our experience with the Jitney Bus proves conclusively that its day has passed, and we urge each voter who can remember the inconvenience of July last to feel it a duty to go to the polls for the Elastic Six-cent Fare Ordinance, which we think will meet the requirement of both people and corporation and offer a satisfaction which we trust will never be assailed.
LAW AND ORDER IN THE SOUTH.
on what he said.
The mob that goes out and summarily executes a suspect is guilty of a crime against the state almost, if not quite, as serious as anything its victim could have done. Instead of merely taking the law into its own hands, it is asserting that there shall be no law except inflamed public sentiment. Its appeal to violence may satisfy the spirit of vicious intolerance that impels the unthinking, but it leads to injustice and anarchy such as a senator of the United States should be ashamed to encourage.
The deterrent effect of lynchings and burning at the stake is not even an excuse for such disgrace. Those exhibitions tend to create terror, to be sure, but also engender hatred and bitterness between the races. Nothing would be so effective as the orderly, inexorable functioning of the machinery of justice in dealing with offenders in such cases.—Denver Times.
The above editorial proves beyond a doubt that there are some white people, even newspaper editors of the South, that are impressed that law is law, and whenever it is thrust aside and ignored, giving place to mobrule and lawlessness, a reign of terror will be created, hate of the worst type will exist between the races, and the same inculcated in the minds of the youth will result in incalculable injury to the nation, until in obedience to the law of extermination one must give way to the other. Men with the disposition of the editor of our Denver Times, cannot but denounce the action of Williams of Mississippi, even though he is a member of the Senate—the highest law-making body of the nation; and it takes such plain, outspoken writings from other members of his race, whom he has caused to be ashamed of their identify with him by his utterances encouraging anarchy, to show to this government and people that this country is the habitation of law-abiding citizens and these only will be permitted to live here. Keep such publications before the public and the safeguarding of our country will be a fact.
THE NEGRO—WHAT DOES HE WANT?
THE following are the words of a clear-thinking Negro minister of the gospel, published in The Outlook magazine of September 10th, and of which the editor states, "If there is any claim put forward here to anything to which our colored fellow-citizens are not as much entitled as the white man, we would be glad to know it": "We are fighting for citizenship and the common ordinary rights guaranteed us by the Constitution of our common country, for which we have freely bled and died. We are fighting for what the colonists fought. We are contending for what Patrick Henry spoke of when he fired the world with his cry: 'Give us liberty, or give us death.' We are finishing up the Civil war that your forebears should not have died in vain. We are fighting for democracy. We are insisting that our republic stand firmly and squarely upon the rights and liberties and justice of the Constitution. We want every citizen to know that the struggle is his as well as the black man's. GOD HELP US ALL."
And this is the answer that the millions of dark-skinned Americans give when asked by their white fellow-citizens as to our wants and requirements, but the tortuous role comes in their being thoroughly acquainted with this fact, and yet hide behind a number of conditions for the purpose of thwarting justice and the fulfilling of the very EQUAL RIGHTS that they boast of and offer to the world. In the business world, in the commercial order of action, when a Negro transacts business as the regular business man or in the usual manner, he is treated in the way of pity, even though the members of his race purchase the choicest and costliest articles from their firms. If he strives after the appearance of getting rich, becoming a man of wealth, he becomes an object of hate and in the end a target for the darts of opposition and a competition out of the ordinary. If he invests in property in surroundings meritorious of his ability, educational and financial, he incurs the wrath of an element that institutes a mob-action from jealousy and the result in his argument of cowardice is termed a RACE RIOT. It can therefore be clearly seen that whenever we are met in group, conference, public or private, and the question is asked, "What does the Negro want?" there offers another attempt to subject us to something worse than the fate of our fathers. Why give out to the world the grandeur and beauty of our democracy when on account of permitting a lawless body of white citizens to place state law above constitutional law, the country is practically being torn to pieces by bloodshed, strikes, anarchy and everything that savors of a reflection of our vaunted civilization? Why can't our government take a firm stand and use its powers to crush and wipe out forever these agencies of evil in our land, and make this a habitation for law-abiding and peaceful citizens? We have always and we still contend that allowing unlawful acts to be committed in one section of the country against one class of citizens would in time encourage and be an incentive for greater action among all classes, and gradually this is being carried out. We are being called upon to use good judgment, to be discreet in our talks and press comments, with all our effort even to the extent of getting under arms to suppress this lawlessness, we are being further exposed to the treatment of mob rule. We are not asking for the charity that some think our lot merits. We are not desirous of being pampered and petted, but we voice the sentiments of this minister, who, from his experience in this country, and his knowledge of our cheerful response to every beck and call of this nation to help in the time of trouble, voluntarily and involuntarily, cries from the depths of his soul for RIGHT, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE to be given the black man of this country equal to the white man. This is what we want and nothing more, and if the proposed World League must stand for anything, it will surely begin with a suggestion of correction of America's methods, of HER GREAT AND WONDERFUL CLASS CIVILIZATION.
A Most Important Problem of America: Proper Payment of Our Teachers
By MAJ. GEN. LEONARD WOOD, United States Army
One of the most important problems confronting our people is the proper payment of teachers and professors in our public schools and colleges. Today these men and women, to whom we turn our children over to be educated and who incidentally have the greatest influence in forming their characters, are receiving salaries below that of many unskilled laborers. Many of the professors of great universities are receiving salaries below that of the skilled workman.
MILITARY
The teaching profession is entitled to and needs the best brains of the country, and must have them if we are to build and maintain a sound nation. There is no body of men or women in this land whose services are more important. They are the principal builders of our Ship of State. At present the Ship is being built by underpaid, and consequently dissatisfied, workmen. Many of the more skilled are leaving the profession; this is a dangerous situation. Many are staying because they have the missionary spirit, but they know that they are not receiving just or proper recognition and that the position of the teacher has been degraded. We must pay the teachers and professors enough to bring to the profession the best brains of the country.
If we want a right-thinking public, we must bring our children under the best minds of the nation during their school and formative period. At present we are neglecting this in most reckless fashion. Those who teach our youth are fighting the noiseless battle, upon the success of which rests the stability of our institutions.
We must stand for a government under the Constitution. Every step from the Constitution is to step toward anarchy. We want neither an autocracy of wealth nor an autocracy of labor, but true democracy of both—a spirit of co-operation and mutual helpfulness. Labor and capital are interlocking and interdependent. Those who destroy one destroy the other.
We must stand for one Flag, and that is the Flag you men and your fathers carried in battle. We must smash the red flag and those who carry it, support it and follow it. It is an emblem of disorder and lawlessness and is against everything this government stands for.
We want one language in the grade public schools, and that is the language of the Declaration of Independence. We can have but one loyalty; that is loyalty to the American people. There can be no divided allegiance. The only kind of American we want is the 100 per cent American.
We must work for national solidarity and try to build up a strong, pure American spirit, helpful and generous to a world in trouble but distinctively American. We must avoid loose-fibered internationalism as we would avoid death, for it means national death.
Shall We Prove Ourselves Less Able in Peace Time Than in Time of War?
By SAMUEL GOMPERS, President American Federation of Labor
The United States of America is the greatest democracy in the world. It is a vast, far-flung country composed of many races, many creeds, many opinions, many beliefs. It is a country that prides itself on the independence of thought and action of the individual. And because of that pride of and glory in individual liberty it is a country foredoomed to argument, to struggle, to conflict.
This is not to be deplored. Quite the contrary. It is to be exulted in and encouraged—given, of course, that the argument be intelligent, the struggle constructive, and the conflict for the welfare and betterment of all its citizens. In many counsels lies wisdom. In the harmonious reconciliation of varied opinions lies progress. And in the effort of every citizen to improve himself, his fellows, and his country lies the safety of democracy itself.
And during our eighteen months of war we remained true to democracy. Labor, capital, business, society worked hand in hand and shoulder to shoulder for victory. Never had the democracy of the United States of America risen to such an exalted height. It was the final test of our national abilities and the last justification of our form of government. We had shown what a democracy could do and how it could do it.
And now what? We are once more at peace. Shall we prove ourselves to be less able, less courageous, less firm in time of peace?
I know the American people. And I know they will not be at once so lax and so misguided. But they must make no mistake.
Let us of America face these new labors, then, in the spirit of individualistic mutuality—in the spirit of real democracy.
It Is a Wise Golfing Community That Recognizes Its Junior Golfers
It Is a Wise Golfing Community That Recognizes Its Junior Golfers
By CHARLES EVANS, Jr., Former American Amateur Champion
To every one with the best interests of golf at heart it is gratifying to note that many of the clubs in the Chicago golf district have been holding junior championships, and that the scores in these events have been very good. It is a wise golfing community that recognizes the fact that these junior golfers are our future champions and upon their proper training depends the future of the game. Nothing develops a boy's game faster and better than tournament competition, and it also brings about a wholesome acquaintance among the sons of members.
The fine work of the youngsters at Pittsburgh shows us what they can do when given the opportunity, and it ought to stimulate all golf clubs to a careful provision of ways and means for the boys' tournaments. Chicago clubs have been very generous this year, and I can only suggest that we ought to have a western intercollegiate championship. It is the young college men of the East who are doing part of the good juvenile golf work this year. I think the Chicago District Golf association, whose good work is well known, could well manage to hold a junior championship next year.
There is one warning I give to the junior golfer: More promising golf careers have been ruined by conceit than anything else. Therefore cultivate certain humility of spirit with your golf. Remember that your elders who are sustaining the course and providing means for you to play, deserve consideration. See that you never fail to grant it.

Wallace Simpson Post No. 29 of the American Legion met at the Colored Soldiers' and Sailors' Club Wednesday evening, October 5th, at 8 o'clock and a large membership was out and lots of enthusiasm was in evidence. Our coming grand military ball was one of the main topics discussed and everyone decided to put it "over the top." It already points to a crowning success owing to the fact that all the military organizations in the city have promised their undivided support.

REPRESENTATIVE COLORED CITI ZENS ORGANIZE CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
On last Saturday evening, October 11, 1919. Major Thos. Campbell was host to a large number of the most respectable and representative Colored citizens and taxpayers of Denver at a complimentary dinner in the banquet hall of the People's Tabernacle. This was one of the most timely and brilliant gatherings that has ever taken place in Denver and was an epoch-making event long to be remembered. The most distinguished feature of the dinner was the earnest, eloquent and impressive speeches delivered by Major Campbell, Hon. I. I. Boak, head consul of the Woodmen of the World, chairman of the membership committee of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association and one of Denver's most active and leading white citizens in the civic affairs of our city. Mr. Boak was at his best and made one of the most eloquent and enthusiastic speeches ever listened to by our people and was received with most hearty applause.
Speeches were also made by Mr. Q. Record, secretary of the membership committee of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association; Attorney E. P. Blakemore, Mr. J. T. Bell, secretary Colored Y. M. C. A.; Mr. Alfred Froman, Mr. T. S. Rector, Mr. William Russ, Mr. C. W. Buford and others. Harmony with a big "H" was the keynote of the evening and all present seemed to be of one mind in the organization of a civic association of our people in Denver in order to bring the Colored citizens here in closer touch with one another and the better and higher element of the white citizens and business element of Denver. The organization was perfected with despatch and precision that marked the determination and enthusiasm of all present.
The following were elected as officers: Major Thos. Campbell, president; Attorney E. P. Blakemore, vice president; Mr. Walter R. Chapman, secretary; Mr. John R. Contee, assistant secretary; Mr. James C. Cooper, treasurer.
Mr. James Bufford, Denver's most famous and popular caterer, was at his best and gave the guests one of the finest dinners he has ever served. The decorations consisted of large silk American flags.
Major Campbell deserves the credit and honor of initiating the most important, beneficial and far-reaching undertaking ever attempted here, and every citizen present pledged his hearty support and co-operation, both morally and financially. It is now up to us as men and citizens who are interested in the actual material advancement of our race and community to back this movement to the limit.

Synopsis of Elastic 6c Fare Ordinance
The Solution of the Tramway Fare Problem as Drawn Up by City and Tramway
THIS ordinance provides a solution of the Tramway problem that is simple and effective. The plan contemplates avoidance of disputes and turmoil which might result from a fixed rate of car fare, and has as its basic principle the flexibility of adjustment of street car fares to wage expense. The ordinance fixes the fare at six cents, with free transfers under the existing transfer rules. The six-cent fare is based and conditioned on the present schedule of wages paid by the Tramway to its emplovers.
Whenever this present wage schedule is changed the rate of car fare is changed accordingly. If wages are increased, the fares must be increased to an amount sufficient to meet the increased pay roll. If wages are decreased, the fares may be decreased in like proportion. The question of wages is a matter resting between the employees and the company. The increasing or decreasing of fares, however, is placed in the hands of a Board of Control, created by the ordinance, which is guided in its action by the following conditions:
The Board of Control consists of three members, one appointed by the Board of Directors of the Tramway Company, one by the Mayor, and the third by the City Council. The salaries of these members are to be determined and paid by each of the appointing powers. Whenever the Tramway Company changes and increases or decreases the wage schedule it is provided that the Board of Con-
The whole city is trembling with excitement as the day draws nigh for the "hop-off" in the great membership drive for 500 men and boys which the Y. M. C. A. is now putting on. The time set for this important event is next Monday, the 20th, and for the next nine weeks to come there will be no let-up, neither day or night, until the goal is reached.
The great impelling force in this drive is the offer of $25,000 towards a fund of $100,000 recently made by Julius Rosenwald, the great Chicago Jewish philanthropist, for a new and up-to-date "Y" building for the colored men and boys of Denver. This offer has been accepted by the board of directors of the Denver association, of which William E. Sweet is president. And in order to make sure the gift for Denver, and at the same time to show their appreciation and worth, the men and boys of the city have decided to go out and work up a membership—a membership so stunning in its size and character as to convince the board of directors that they mean business.
Secretary Bell's team, known as the "Buffalo Division," will fire the opening gun. A meeting of his team workers was held last night, at which it was decided not to wait until Monday, but to begin the invasion at once. Workers will be at every church in the city all day Sunday and will claim every man they meet, since after the campaign opens they will be restricted to certain territory. At the same time of the opening of the men's drive, Alfred A. Gardener's club will open for the boys' division. The slogan is: "Five hundred members—and the $100,000 building fund!" The men of Denver are determined to get both!

Dr. Thomas comes to us from a six-year pastorate at Allen Chapel, Kansas City, Mo., where his ministry was blest with some big achievements and where he was no less popular than in the East where he served some of the most exacting pulpits in the connection; for instance, Charles Street, Boston, Mass; Providence, R. I., and Newport, Conn. He’s the product of Lincoln and Boston universities, and Shorter congratulates herself on having secured so efficient a divine as pastor. He will arrive in the city today via Burlington.
Our presiding elder preached to a full house last Sunday morning and in answer to the invitation one young man accepted salvation through Christ and five united with the church. Rev. U. S.

trol shall investigate in detail the increased or decreased expenses caused by the change in wage schedules. If the Board finds a decrease or increase in revenue necessary to meet the corresponding reduction or increase in pay rolls, then it may approve properly readjusted rates of fare. The ordinance further provides as a check upon the Tramway that the Board of Control shall not approve any increase in fares to take care of a wage scale which is greater than the average wage schedules prevailing in the cities of St. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, Minneapolis and St. Paul.
If the Board finds that the wages paid by the Tramway are in excess of those paid in the before-mentioned cities, it is required to notify the Tramway what rate of fare above or below six cents may be charged, and in no case is it to be allowed a fare high enough to pay such excess over said average wage schedule. The records and accounts of the Tramway concerning its wages and fare receipts must at all times be open to inspection by the Board of Control. The Board is empowered to investigate as often as necessary the schedule of wages paid in the cities named, and to require the Tramway to furnish it all information relating to the subject of wages or fare control.
The Board of Control does not concern itself with any Tramway affairs that are not relevant to the wage schedules and rates of fare. The ordinance is to be in effect during the life of the Tramway's present franchises.

Let's have a heart to heart talk on this Service-at-Cost bunk. You want to know who favors this little scheme, and just what this piece of literature signed by fifty-five honorable citizens contains. We once had a committee of retail merchants take up the water question, and after the people realized who put up the cash to carry the election, they put the harpoon into the three-shell game and defeated the business men's measure by a big majority. I won't say who is paying the expenses of this propaganda handed out by the carload, nor will I even intimate that the honorable committee of fifty-five are interested in the final settlement of this street car controversy, but I will say Boettcher, Hild and their associates would grab the hook, line and sinker if presented the service-at-cost scheme, which so adroitly offers the stockholders a seven per cent income not only on the three million rotten stock now offered at ten dollars a share, which is only good for wall covering in a service-at-cost public comfort station, but also allows a seven per cent income on the bonded indebtedness of $18,600,000.00, which, by the way, only costs the company but five per cent to carry. Of course service-at-cost means little to these gentlemen who are willing the company should receive the difference between 7 and 5 per cent on $18,600,000.00, or $372,000.00 a year, which added to the 7 per cent on $3,000,000.00 stock or $210,000.00 would net the solupitutious bunch of penny snippers the snug little sum of 19 4-10 per cent on a bunch of three-shell stock that has not earned a dollar for many moons, and which today is only worth one-sixth of the value placed upon it by this most interested committee of public-spirited gentlemen. Says Mr. Boak, "It provides a barometer fund of $300,000.00—into which all surplus will go—if the fund increases the rate will drop." Do you think the fund will ever increase after letting the company receive $500,000.00 for replacements and $1,512,000.00 dividend on the entire valuation, besides paying an increase wage and a heavy overhead expense for nincompoops, whose main assets to the company are spelled with a capital "B?" Continuing, Mr. Boak says, "It further provides the elimination of the $60,000.00 franchise tax and $135,000.00 for paving of the streets between the tracks." Only a mere "bag i tool." It further provides that the company be permitted to haul freight after midnight, or another graft of $35,000.00. Wouldn't this be a fine thing for the company's coal mines over which Sam Perry held the golden sceptre? Again it provides that our present Franchise is to be thrown in the sewer and the company be allowed a perpetual right of our streets without competition.
Can't you now see what this nice little "service-at-cost" scheme will do to you if Mr. Boak and his friend Dickson can put the deal over on October 22nd? What think you will the price of the rotten flat wheel stock, now selling at $8 to $10 per share, go to, if our people grant it an earning power of 19 4-10 per cent on a real $3,000,000.00 stock valuation?
Again this valuable document provides that the city council appoint one on the commission—the mayor one and the company one. Why did they not say that a federal judge should appoint one, the mayor one, and the company one? Too many chances for Hild and Boettcher to take.
No wonder the sharks are now trying to buy up the stock. No wonder they are spending money like drunken sailor and flooding the entire city with service-at-cost dope that would strangle a cat. I want to be honest with the people and charitable with this Mills committee of 55, and say, that I do not believe all these most estimable gentlemen to be tools of the Hildy Dink corporation, nor do I think all of them really know the little jokers in the document, and I'm man enough to credit the majority with being sincere in their endeavor to assist in settling the Tramway question, yet I question their ability to cope with pirates even though Mr. Lawyer Dickson feels justified in giving his services for the good of humanity and the benefit of Boettcher's million-dollar board of directors now posing as martyrs. If service-at-cost means anything of value to our people it does not start out with a profit of $372,000.00 upon a bonded indebtedness. It does not mean a 19 4-10 per cent interest on stock worth on the open market 1-6 of the value placed upon it by our honorable board of 55. Right here let me call your attention to a little change the 55 made in the service-at-cost document after attention had been called to the 7 per cent allowance on $18,600,000.00 and the $3,000,000.00 stock. They reduced the valuation to something like $21,600,000.00 for Denver and put a clause covering 18 months, which states, $5½ will be the rate for 1st 6 months, 6 per cent for 2nd 6 months, and $6½ per cent for 3rd 6 months, and thereafter 7 per cent on the entire $21,600,000.00. They read the handwriting on the wall and softened their touch.
Now, my friends, let me ask you if you honestly believe this service-at-cost scheme, with all its propaganda and expensive camouflage, is being paid for by this committee of 55 and the 16th street merchants? Do you think the company will contest the election if the people vote to adopt the service-at-cost plan? Have you ever known any body of men in Denver to put up the expenses of any corporation fighting to break a franchise and loot the public? Have one of these directors ever built a hospital, founded a home for poor children, erected a monument or started a fund for the benefit of mankind? Have they contributed one one-thousandth part of the loss of health and wealth during this horrible war that the poor boys did who went to the trenches? I am firmly convinced that not a man owning bonds or stock in this rotten syndicate of contract violators needs your sympathy or a guardian to protect their investments, but I do think the working people of Denver need help in combating the merciless pillaging of corporations without a heart, soul or liver.
I am against the service-at-cost plan and the six-cent slippery up-and-down sliding scale. I stand, as before election, for our franchise rights and a 5-cent carfare. It was our slogan in the Bailey campaign—it was on our literature and talked from the platform and I now demand of Mr. Bailey that he keep his word and give his followers what he pledged his word of honor he would do if elected.
If ever you felt that I fought for the interest of our people—if you ever had faith in my intention to curb graft and protect the people who teil—if you think I am capable of analysing rotten contracts and giving to the world the naked truth, then I ask you to vote down both Tramway ordinances conceived for the benefit of a grasping, greedy, blood-suckling corporation piloted in the foul-smelling waters of averice by a man who asks his pound of flesh during a world's calamity as well as in times of peace.

Do Authors Enjoy Writing?
In an editorial on the financial rewards of the late Amelia E. Barr the New York World sets forth that sheer love of writing always produces the best results, "We object," says the Sun. "A cnavass of writers who achieve the best results, our guess is, would show that nine-tenths of them don't love to write. There is a good deal of bunk about it, and it is hard to get honest answers; many writers are afraid to say they don't enjoy the writing job."
SHANTUNG RESERVATION KILLED IN SENATE WHEN CALLED FOR VOTE.
THE PRO-TREATY WINS
VOTE, THIRTY-FIVE TO FIFTY:
FIVE, COMES AT END OF SIX
HOURS' DEBATE.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington, Oct. 17.—The long-debated Shantung amendment to the peace treaty, presented by Senator Lodge and approved by the foreign relations committee, finally was rejected in the Senate with a majority of an even score against it. In the vote of 35 to 55, fourteen Republicans swung over to the pro-treaty forces, while three Democrats lined up with those supporting the proposal.
Of the six senators absent, two Republicans were put on record as in favor of the amendment and one Republican and three Democrats as opposing it.
The roll call, which came at the end of another six and a half hours of sharp debate, in reality swept away six amendments instead of one, each change in the treaty text having been numbered separately by the committee in its decision to strike out the word "Japan" and substitute the word "Chana" throughout the sections relating to the provisions of Shantung. By unanimous consent, however, the six changes were debated and voted on as one.
Only three of the committee's forty-five amendments now remain to be acted on by the Senate, thirty-six previously having been rejected. Of those remaining one relates to American representation on the reparations commission and two to equalization of voting power in the League of Nations assembly.
After the vote was completed Senator Lodge announced that later he would move to strike out entirely the sections awarding the Shantung rights to Japan. Notice also was given by a number of Republican senators who opposed the committee amendment that they would present reservations dissenting from the Shantung award. More than twenty senators took part in the debate, extended speeches being made for the amendment by Senators Johnson of California, Sherman of Illinois and LaFollette of Wisconsin, all Republicans, and against it by Senators Phelan of California, a Democrat, and McCumber of North Dakota, a Republican. Senator Williams, Democrat, Mississippi, injected into the discussion a bitter denunciation of the attitude of some Irish Americans and sharp replies were made by Senators Phelan and Gerry, Democrats, Rhode Island.
CAPTURE KRONSTADT
RED FORTRESS GIVES WAY IN HEAVY BOMBARDMENT.
Stockholm, Oct. 17.—The fortress of Kronstadt has capitulated after a bombardment by a British fleet which after the fort had surrendered, entered the harbor, according to advices received here. Kronstadt is a fortress and seaport at the head of the Gulf of Finland, twenty miles west of Petrograd. The port which was the chief station of the Russian navy has been in the hands of the Bolsheviki since the soviet regime took power in December, 1917.
Has Daylight Saving
New York.—New York City has adopted permanently a daylight savings law of its own to replace the national law recently killed by Congress. By unanimous vote the board of aldermen provided for a change of time the first of April and the last of September each year.
Hundreds Dying in Mexico.
Washington.—An epidemic, feared to be yellow fever, but probably virulent malaria, has broken out in the district of Huasteca in the southeasterly part of the state of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, according to a dispatch to the State Department. Inhabitants were reported to be dying by hundreds.
British Lost 14,287 on Sea.
London.—British merchant vessels lost through enemy action during the war totaled 7,789,000 gross tons, it was officially announced. Submarine action was responsible for the loss of 6,635,050 tons of this total. The loss of 14,287 lives was involved in these sinkings.
Detective Shot in Riot.
Cincinnati—Former Chief of Detectives William L. Ninmo of Cincinnati was shot in the left arm and right leg, and at least three others were wounded during a fierce battle between striking employés of the Andrews Steel Company, Newport, Ky., and strikebreakers and guards who were leaving the plant at the close of work. Riffles, shotguns and pistols were used and more than 100 shots were exchanged. Strikers, it is said, had been assembled along the Lieking pike

Any of These Remedies Are Warranted to Be Sure Death to Mr. Bedbug.
(Prepared by the United States Depart- | vent accidental overflowing or the
vent of Agriculture.) | starting of a fire. After the fungi
There's no disgrace in finding a bedbug; the disgrace lies in keeping it. Somewhere back in the dim ages, a housekeeper—possibly Mrs. Noah—gave utterance to the above. Perhaps Noah was so literal minded, being a man, as to think the injunction to take into the ark a pair of every living creature included bedbugs, too, and his wife, when she laid down what was to be forever after a household proverb, had just found them. Whether the originator of the phrase was Mrs, Noah or the Queen of Sheba—she is said to have been a fussy housekeeper—doesn't matter. Generations of women since have comforted themselves by repeating it when they discovered the pest in their homes and when anguish filled their souls.
Bugs Gain Entrance Easily. The presence of the bedbug in the house is not necessarily an indication of neglect or carelessness, for this insect may gain access in spite of the adoption of all reasonable precautions. Trunks, wraps, and bags of travelers, and baskets of laundry may furnish a means of transportation for the pest. Unfortunately, too, it is quite capable of migrating from one house to another, and will often continue to go from an adjoining house sometimes for a period of several months, gaining access daily. Such migration is especially likely to take place when the human inhabitants of the house leave it. When its usual source of food departs, the migratory instinct of the bedbug is developed, and, escaping through windows, it passes along walls, water pipes, or gutters, and thus gains entrance to adjoining houses. In these or other ways anyone's premises may be temporarily invaded.
The presence of the bedbug in houses, both from the standpoint of personal comfort and the possible carriage of disease, is not to be lightly considered, and the failure on the part of anyone to institute immediate efforts of eradication will warrant the odium which is properly attached to "buggy" premises.
The bedbug is normally nocturnal in habits and displays a certain degree of wariness, caution, and intelligence in its efforts at concealment during the day. Under the stress of hunger, however, it will emerge from its place of concealment in a well-lighted room at night, so that under such circumstances keeping the gas or electric light burning is not a complete protection. It usually leaves its victim as soon as it has become engorged with blood and retires to its normal place of concealment, either in cracks in the bedstead, especially if the latter be one of the wooden variety, or behind wainscoting, or under loose wall paper. It thrives particularly in filth apartments and in old houses which are full of cracks and crevices, in which it can conceal itself beyond easy reach.
The bite of the bedbug is decidedly poisonous to some individuals, resulting in a slight-swelling and disagreeable inflammation. To allay the irritation peroxide of hydrogen or dioxygen may be used with good results. In common with other insects which attack man and warm-blooded animals, it is entirely possible for a bedbug to transmit contagious human diseases.
How to Get Rid of Them.
Undoubtedly the most efficient remedy for the bedbug is to fumigate the infested house or rooms with hydrocyanic-acid gas. A bulletin giving directions for such fumigation has been issued by the department of agriculture.
The fumes of burning sulphur are also a very efficient means of control where the conditions are such that this method can be used. It readily destroys insects in all stages, including the egg. There is some risk of injury to household fabrics, furnishings, and wall papers from the strong bleaching quality of sulphur fumes. The danger will be somewhat diminished if the fumigation can be done at a time when the room or house is thoroughly dried out, as in winter by a furnace or other heating system. Further precautions should be taken by removing metallic surfaces from the room or protecting them with a coat of vaseline. Two pounds of sulphur are recommended for each 2,000 cubic feet of space and the building should be closed for the treatment for at least five or six hours or preferably for 24 hours. Thoroughgoing precautions must be taken to pre-
vent accidental overflowing or the starting of a fire. After the fumigation the house should be given a thorough airing. Gases, such as formalin and the vapors of benzine, naphthaline, and camphor are sometimes used, but are of little value. Insect powders, because they are difficult to get into crevices, are not effective.
Among the simple methods of control, however, perhaps the most efficient is a very liberal application of benzine, kerosene, or gasoline, introduced with small brushes or feathers, or by injecting with syringes into all crevices of beds, furniture, or walls where the insects may have concealed themselves. Not only is the baseboard of the room apt to be infested with them, but the picture molding and the back of the pictures themselves may furnish lodging for the pest. Corrosive sublimate is also of value, and oil of turpentine may be used in the same way. Hot water, wherever it may be employed without danger to furniture, is also an effective means of destroying both eggs and bugs.
Various bedbug remedies and mixtures are for sale, most of them containing one or another of the ingredients mentioned, and these are frequently of value. The important point, however, in the case of an infested house is a daily inspection of beds and bedding, particularly the seams and tufting of mattresses, and of all crevices and locations about the premises where these vermin may have gone for concealment.
A vigorous campaign should, in the course of a week or so at the outside, result in the extermination of this very obnoxious and embarrassing pest, which sweops down upon its helpless sleeping prey during the midnight watches.
HOW TO COOK MUTTON STEAK
It Closely Resembles Hamburg Steak as Ordinarily Prepared—Onion May Be Added.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
Mutton cooked in the following manner is appetizing and nutritious:
1 pound lean mutton free from bone.
1 egg.
½ cupful milk.
1 teaspoonful salt
½ teaspoonful pepper.
Few drops onion juice.
Chop the meat fine, add the other ingredients, form into small cakes and either broil or fry them. While this dish is more delicate if the egg and milk are used, it can be made without them. In this case it very closely resembles Hamburg steak as ordinarily prepared from beef. It may be made with or without onion.
FEEDING VALUE OF POTATOES
Tubers Are Rich in Mineral Matter Necessary to Keep Body in Good Condition.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
One medium potato gives as much body fuel as two slices of bread and more than one egg. The tissue-building material, protein, is present only in slight amount, so that milk, cheese, eggs, fish and meat, which are rich in protein, are the logical foods to eat with potatoes. However, the small quantity of protein which the potato contains is of an especially valuable kind. Potatoes are rich in the mineral matter necessary to keep the body in condition.
OF INTEREST to the HOUSEWIFE Lay tough meat in vinegar water a few minutes. Orange is a far better dessert flavor than lemon.
Purchase a course scrubbing brush for cleaning muddy shoes.

PIE, THE POPULAR DESSERT.
In spite of the fact that pies and pastry have been condemned as indi-
gestible, the sentence has never been passed upon them, for they still hold forth on all bills of fare.

Plain Custard
Pie. — Line a pie
tin with a good.
rich crust, having the rim stand up above the plate. Fill with a custard mixture, using two beaten eggs, one-third of a cupful of sugar, a pinch of salt and two cupfuls of milk. Finish with a grating of nutmeg and bake at first in a hot oven to set and brown the pastry, then lower the heat to cook the custard. An orange filling may be made by using the juice of an orange with the grated rind, adding milk enough to make the two cupfuls of liquid and proceed as in custard pie. A meringue on a pie always adds to its appearance as well as making it more nourishing.
**Lemon and Apple Pie.**—Add a cupful of sugar to half a cupful of chopped apple, one beaten egg, one-fourth of a cupful of rolled crackers, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, the grated rind of a lemon and one tablespoonful of butter. Bake with two crusts.
Date Custard Pie.—Cook a third of a pound of dates, washed and stoned, with two cupfuls of milk in a double boiler. Rub through a sieve, add two beaten eggs, salt and sugar if needed, with a few gratings of nutmeg. Bake and cover with a meringue in which four or five marshmallows are placed.
Prune Pie.—Soak three-fourths of a pound of prunes in cold water, stew until tender, cool and stone. Arrange them in a lined pie plate, add half a cupful of sugar, two tablespoonfuls of butter and the juice of half a lemon, salt, two tablespoonfuls of flour and the juice from the prunes. Bake, cover with a meringue and brown.
Rhubarb and raisins make a good combination for a pie filling. Use a half a cupful of raisins to two cupfuls of rhubarb, sugar, salt and flavoring with two tablespoonfuls of flour to thicken the juice to keep the pie from boiling over. Cover with a crust and bake in a slow oven.

FOODS WHICH APPEAL TO A VARIETY OF TASTES.
For those who are fond of coconut the following drop cakes will be en-
Rice Drop Cakes.—Mix two cupfuls of boiled rice with half a cupful of milk and one beaten egg; add two tablespoonfuls of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of baking
Rice Drop Cakes.—Mix two cupfuls of boiled rice with half a cupful of milk and one beaten egg; add two tablespoonfuls of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt and a teaspoonful of baking powder with half a cupful of shredded coconut (the unsweetened kind). Beat well and drop on a lightly greased griddle. Cook brown on both sides and serve hot with sipr or honey.
R ch Golden Frozen Budding—Scald a pint of rich milk. Beat the yolks of six eggs, add one cupful of sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt and beat again. Cook the two mixtures until smooth and thick; cool and add a tablespoonful of vanilla and one and one-half cupfuls of cream. Freeze. Have ready one and one-half cupfuls of sultanna raisins and candied cherries, pineapple and citron cut in pieces and covered with lemon juice and allowed to stand overnight. Stir this mixture into the frozen custard and let stand to ripen two hours. Serve alone or with whipped cream or with the following sauce:
Beat the yolks of three eggs until thick; add one-fourth of a teaspoonful of mace or nutmeg, one-half cupful of sugar; stir and cook over hot water until thick. Cut and fold in the beaten whites of the eggs; stand over hot water to cook. When cold add one-fourth of a cup of lemon juice and one cupful of cream beaten stiff. Serve very cold or pack in ice and partly freeze.
Chestnut Bavarian Cream.—Sonk half a package of gelatin in half a cupful of cold water. Press one cupful of preserved chestnuts through a sieve. To this puree and the gelatin add one-fourth of a cupful of sugar and three tablespoonfuls of fruit juice or a tablespoonful of vanilla. Set the dish in ice water, stir constantly until the mixture begins to thicken, then fold in two cupfuls of cream, one cupful thin, the other whipping cream, both beaten thick. Mix the two mixtures until the mass will hold its shape, then dispose in small molds decorated with candled fruit. Rinse the bottom of the molds with some of the gelatin mixture, then chill before placing the fruit, which will keep them in place.
Chestnut Dessert.—Make a simple custard ; add a pint of mashed chestnuts or less ; flavor with almond or vanilla and add a spoonful of gelatin. Mold, then serve with flavored and sweetened whipped cream.

BLOUSES AND SEPARATE SKIRTS
THE FASHION WEEKLY
THE HAT
COLORADO STATESMAN
The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West
What with suit skirts and blouses, separate skirts and blouses and one-piece, all-day frocks, business women and others may achieve a good many variations of apparel with the minimum outlay for garments. The same blouse answers for several skirts, the same skirt for several blouses, and variety comes of these combinations sandwiched between days when blouse and skirt are replaced with the one-piece frock. The character of the collette depends upon the choice of styles in blouses and skirts, and the tendency of the styles is away from severely tailored things.
RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.
The munnish, high-collared shirtwaist, however, is never entirely out of style, and its virtues are emphasized when it is occasionally worn or alternated with blouses that are less severe. It is trim and businesslike, and we notice these attributes and admire them when not brought too often to our attention. Shirtwaists are, naturally, made of materials that stand laundering well without any special care in it, while blouses of more delicate fabrics have to be washed or otherwise cleaned with care, from the nature of the material. Blouses of georgette crepe and of cope in combination with other ma-
Along Comes th
THE COLORADO STATESMAN
Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women.
Although the severely plain tailored suit is giving place to fancier styles, along comes the plainest and simplest of street hats, making a tremendous success. It is a trim, smart hat that looks well in almost any company, whether with street frock or suit. But it shines at its best when worn with a suit equally trim and simple. If you are looking for a distinctive and wholesome style, select this combination for your fall street outfit, and find yourself admired for looking "well set up"—as in a uniform.
An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens.
The sailor hat of silk beaver—or hatter's plush—has been received so enthusiastically that it appears with many variations of crown and brim. Crowns are straight or belled or sloping, high or medium. Brims are more or less wide, and occasionally slightly drooping. All these sailors are banded and nearly all bands are finished with flat bows at the left side. But there are exceptions with bows that are not flat and sometimes they are set at the front of the hat. These little variations of size and shape make it possible to suit all types of faces in a hat that is equal to being universally worn without becoming fireome.
TWODOLLARSAYEAR
THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE
In the group above a square-grown, wide-brimmed model, and a sloping crown with narrower brim, show two of the popular variations of the sailor. Almost any milliner display will provide a selection of four or five varieties of the same hat. The pretty shirred tam for a young-
terials, lead all others in point of popularity. This dainty, fragile-looking goods is, in reality, very durable. More of the new fall blouses are made of it than of any other materials and a great many of the new models are much like the smocks that made such a success in styles for summer—the they have short skirts or peplums. Two new models are shown in the picture, one having a skeleton jacket and cuffs of satin and one of georgette alone, with embroidered neck and sleeve.
In separate skirts there is about as much variety as in blouses. For street wear they are shown in plain woolens, in plaid and crossbar patterns and in stripes. For afternoon there are beautifully draped velvet and satin skirts and many in the fancy weaves of silk and silk fiber. Even for evening wear we have separate skirts of net and lace and of georgette, printed chiffon and fabrics of similar character. But it is the separate skirts for street and for afternoon wear that prove most interesting to women. In the accompanying picture the crepe and satin blouse is shown worn with a plain cloth skirt. The skirt at the right is a fiber silk weave, very simple in design and designed to be useful to its wearer for almost any hour of the day.
e Banded Sailor
er girl, at the left of the group, is made of velvet and has a rosette and tassel of yarn. It is a jaunty hat for a miss of a type that may be found developed in duvetyn and angora for street wear, and is one of several tams that appear to lead in popularity for the half-grown girl. The Blue Devil tam, made of black velvet, with a pinwheel of ostrich at the side, instead of a tassel, is a pert and saucy little affair for the flapper. The tams of angora wool are made with scarfs for the neck to match, and these scarfs, in fur color, take the place of furs for young girls. One of them appears in the picture.
Julia Bottomly
Brown is the color most often chosen for the new autumn things. It is a hue which was much affected by the beautiful Austrian, Marie Antoinette, and consequently became the rage with both men and women of the gay court of Louis XVI. In those days it was known as puce or flea color, taking its name from a most unattractive source—the back of a flea.
Treating White Spots on Furniture.
If you carelessly place a hot dish on a polished table and find a white spot, put some oil on the spot and let it remain for a few hours. Linseed oil is best, but it is expensive now, so sweet oil can be used if you wish.
