XXVI. THE National Race Congress of the United States, in convention assembled, representing a constituency in every state, and almost every municipality of the Union, views with alarm the increasing tendency toward lynch-law and mob violence throughout the country, as exhibited by the recent outbreaks in the cities of Boston, Gary, Knoxville, Omaha and Washington; as well as in many parts of the South, and calls upon all fairminded citizens, especially those in high authority to put an end at once to such lawlessness. Of the 4,000 Negroes lynched in the United States within the past forty years, not more than seven per cent were charged with the crime of rape, and not more than seven per cent, with alleged criminal assault. Eighty-six per cent have been lynched for offenses which range from alleged murder to "impudence" and fifty of this 4,000 have geen women and children. This appeal for the suppression of lawlessness is not only for the sake of justice, but for the added reasons that lynching and mob violence cause the desertion of farms and overcrowding of cities, and augment the high cost of living by increasing consumption and decreasing production. Moreover, mobrule is an open expression of utter disregard for law and order, which are fundamental elements of all civilization. Patiently we have submitted to the many acts of injustice heaped upon us by an intolerant element of this country and still counselling law and order and the observance of all forms of good government. We say now without reservation and with firm convictions in the justice of our position, that when it comes to a matter of self-protection, a question of life existence—the man who does not rise up in his own defense is not worthy of citizenship in a Republic like these United States. If this nation desires to maintain its proud position among the nations of the world and prove that it is a democracy in deed as well as inword, it must carry out the letter and the spirit of its constitution. Any government which has the right to make its citizens bear arms in its defense must by the same token have the power to protect them. A nation which proposes a democratic program for the protection of the weak and oppressed people of the world should inaugurate the same program at home. Moreover, we believe it to be in the interest of good government and in harmony with the spirit which gave birth to this nation that every intelligent man and woman, North and South, should have the right of suffrage. To the end that living conditions will tend to reduce the abnormal death rate of colored residents in the cities, we call upon the municipal authorities to provide better sanitary conditions and surroundings for all homes and the establishment of parks and breath- ing spaces in the congested sections. The right to collective bargaining between employee and employer should not be denied to any group of Ameri- man citizens. We deplore the unjust discrimination against the colored workman, by organized labor unions and by organized capital. We recommend the adoption of a uniform wage scale and identical working conditions for all workers of the same class. Notwithstanding the fact that no race representative was invited to sit in its councils, we view with gratification the effort now being made in this city by the conference called by the president of the United States, to effect an adjustment of the labor troubles existing throughout the country, and respectfully recommends the adoption of similar action on all grevious public questions. The migration of the colored people, now going on from the several states is primarily due to the lack of safety of homes and is indicative of the fact that the Negro is sensible of the economic value of his labor. This movement clearly demonstrates to the South that all forms of prescription, Jim crow cars, segregation and lawlessness must cease and better housing conditions, and better wages must be provided if the migration is to be creecked. The influx of a large number of new groups to the congested cities of the North calls for the active co-operation of all concerned, so that as soon as possible, the newcomers may be assimilated to their environment. We advocate obedience to law; strict morality; temperate habits; the practice of thrift and economy; the acquisition of education and property and counsel our people everywhere to take advantage of all educational opportunities offered them. We call upon the state authorities to make equal and adequate appropriations for school buildings, salaries for teachers and provide for a minimum school term of six months. We call especial attention to the National Race Congress' Memorial to the Congress of the United States and to the "fourteen articles, setting forth what the American Negro expects after helping to win the War for Democracy." We invite the people and our friends everywhere to join the National Race Congress in its campaign of service to our country. We go forth from this session's deliberations with a vision of the coming of a day for better things; the solidifying of our forces for the promotion of righteousness and in the end, the dawn of a better day for all, in a country, from whose borders the blight of injustice shall be forever banished.

C., Oct. 29.—Leading newspapers of the South continue to denounce Senator Williams of Mississippi for his recent defense of lynching on the floor of the United States Senate. One of the most recent is the comment from the Charleston, N. C., Observer, which says: Borah Had Better of Argument. "However, it must be admitted that Senator Borah, even though he may be a 'South hater'.) had the better of the argument for once, so far as it concerned the question of the right and wrong of lynching. It is to be regretted that Senator Williams weakened and spoiled his defense of the South by going too far. The best people, the thinkers and the representatives and leading citizens of the South, are with the Mississippi Senator when he defends this section against the attacks of those from other sections who would make it appear that the South alone is the land of lynchings, but they cannot endorse his advocacy of lynching. Every time such a leader as the Mississippi senator publicly advocates lynching he hurts the South more than it is hurt by its enemies. Mobs Trample Dignity of Court. "The great majority of the people of the South stand for law and order. There are courts of justice, and no matter what crime is charged against a man, whether white or black, he has the constitutional right to be tried in a court of justice, according to law. When the mob takes the law into its own hands it tramples the dignity of the courts and the majesty of the state under its feet. No good can come of such a course, but irreparable harm. "Senator Williams, when he stands in the Senate Chamber and approves and advocates lynching, is not voicing the sentiment of the Southern people: he is misrepresenting them. Therefore the South would be better off did he keep his mouth closed when lynching is the subject under discussion. Of course, there are those in the South who will endorse his position, but they are in the minority. The great majority of the rank and file of the people and of the leaders in the civic and industrial life of the section deplore mob violence, from whatever cause. They agree with Senator Wil- liams when he said: "Considering the ultimate welfare of the human family, there can be no justification for the lynching of any person, and the man who preaches it is sowing the wind that reaps the whirlwind, no matter how black the skin of the victim may be." DOROTHY CANFIELD FISHER SAYS LYNCHINGS DISCREDIT UNITED STATES IN EUROPE The United States is discredited and disgraced in Europe by lynchings, according to a letter written by Dorothy Canfield Fisher, the novelist, and made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mrs. Fisher, writing to Senator Dillingham in favor of a Congressional investigation of lynching, says that in her three years in France she observed "the astonished, amazed abhorrgee which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe." I am writing you as a Vermonter much interested in the Negro question to beg you to use all your influence for a favorable action on the Curtis resolution calling for an investigation of lynching and mob violence. I have no need to say anything to you, of course about the horrible wrongs involved in letting lynching go on, as you must know more about that than we do, and must feel quite as deeply as all the rest of the Vermonters who are looking anxiously for your action in the matter. But as one just returned from three years in France, I can perhaps present to you from much first-hand experience, some idea of the astonished, amazed abhorrence which American lynching causes everywhere in Europe. The whole nation is discredited and disgraced and every word we say about the human rights and civilization is laughed at by Europeans who know of the lynching evil in our country. It would to some extent redeem our national honor—even before the federal investigation could actually accomplish anything, to have it known that we took the disgrace seriously enough to take national action about it. While the keenest hope that you may be instrumental and Vermont, through you, in helping put an end to this national horror, I am Sincerely yours, (Signed) DOROTHY CANFIELD FISHER OWNERS TO PAY FOR WEDDING RING AFTER THIRTY-SIX YEARS Batesville, Ark.—Thirty-six years ago Charles Mosby, now a local jeweler, extended credit to a Negro, then in his employ, for a ring which the man wished to give to his bride. Soon afterward Mr. Mosby moved to one town and the man to another, and the man did not pay for the ring. This week the man came to Batesville, hunted up Mr. Mosby and offered to pay for the wedding ring which his wife had been wearing for thirty-six years. Mr. Mosby refused to accept the money, but instead gave the man another ring as a reward for his good intentions. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 29.—J. O. Thomas, a Negro, was awarded $50.00 damages by a jury in the court of Superior Judge John Hunt yesterday against J. L. Baar and J. P. Petersen, owners of a restaurant on Fillmore street, near Post. A waiter employed by the owner refused to serve Thomas. The case was first tried in the court of Justice of the Peace J. M. Coulan, who awarded Thomas $50 damages. Baar and Petersen appealed to the higher court. Armour Employs Negroes. St. Paul, Minn., Oct. 31.—The proposed importation to St. Paul of 1,500 Negro workmen at the new Armour plant has resulted in the appointment of a committee by the St. Paul Association housing workers to consider the problem. The fact that one of the strong underlying causes of the recent race riots in Chicago was due to no small extent to the housing situation, has prompted the action of taking up the question here in advance. Negro citizens in St. Paul are taking a strong interest in the satisfactory arrangements of housing the large increase in the Negro population. D. W. Alberts, member of the housing committee of the St. Paul Association, has taken up the work. STEEL WORKERS REFUSE TO BE SEGREGATED October 29.—Colored workers in the Wisconsin Steel Mills have decided that they will not work in their capacity if they are to be segregated from other workers. The colored workmen state that segregation of the races does no good to the labor situation and that it brings about race feeling further to the surface. They also state that segregation has failed to ally race riots and lynchings in the south and it can do no good here in the north. 200 Quit Jobs. Two hundred colored men have already given up their jobs and the remaining seven hundred have committed themselves to this effect. We do not wish to be considered different from the other racial group, the Irish, the Jew and the Poles, we therefore have decided that if we cannot be accorded equal treatment and the same treatment other people have, we resign or quit as the occasion demands. Owing to the strike and the present labor shortage the steel companies are much pertrubed; it is said the colored men are determined to stand pat even if starvation ensues. Several firms are ready to receive the men, however, and it is thought that the trouble will be adjusted. "GOD, THE NEGRO AND MOBS." (Special to The Colorado Statesman). Baltimore, Md., November 6th. Speaking on the above subject before an unusual congregation at Bethel A. M. E. Church, last Sunday night, Rev W. Sampson Brooks took the occasion to condemn the recent disturb- NO.3. ances on Stricker street, where white youths broke windows of several colored housekeepers, who were newcomers in the neighborhood. "The whole situation is fraught with the gravest danger to this community," Rev. Brooks said. "I know the trying circumstances under which each of these housekeepers has to exercise utmost patience while vicious boys destroy and imperial their lives. But I want you to exhaust every means of the law to stop these outrages before you take the shotgun or the pistol. "This is the third or fourth time in the last three months that colored homes have been stoned by white boys, and if our lower courts had not been in the hands of persons in sympathy with the mob, these offenders against law and order would have been apprehended and punished. "The church—white and colored—is responsible for this lack of entracial good will, and unless it applies to the solution of the problem back of the prevailing unrest, God will open the doors for political and military agencies to do the work that we ought to be doing." Torn To Pieces But Cheerful Buffalo, N. Y.—Got "the blues?" Shame on you! Sergt. Jack Mason is known to his comrades in the United States army as "The Human Sieve." Literally riddled with bullets and shell particles he still manages to look square in the eye and smile! If the stitches ever come out of Jack Mason, or the silver plates in his head and body get loose, he'll just naturally fall apart. But do you think the contemplation of such a disaster bothers him or chokes in his heart? Not on your daugerrotype! "Sergt. Jack" only rings up a normal grin and chuckles every day, but he sings at his work—sings old folksongs of his race in a rich and pleasing baritone which helped to coax $8,500,000 out of the American pockets for Liberty and Victory Bonds and has helped him to persuade many an "almost persuaded" to enlist in the Army, Navy and Marine Corps. Mason received all his wounds in the service of his country. He got all but ten of them in the single engagement of Belleau Wood "The Gettysburg of Europe". The rest he achieved in the Philippines, Mexico and China, during his fifteen years service in the army. He has practically all of the decorations and acknowledgments of courage, efficiency and resourcefulness that the grateful nations could Lestow. He wears the Distinguished Service Cross of America; the Croix de Guerre and Medaille de Legion d'Honneur of France and a British badge for courage. He also wears a special medal issued by the United States Treasury Department for his work on behalf of the various war loans. Sergeant Jack has three silver plates in his head, three in his left shoulder, one in his right shoulder, and three others in his legs, he has long since lost count of the stitches in his body at one time or another. He is as full of holes as a ton of Swiss cheese—yet he lives. He will be a cripple all the rest of his life—yet he laughs. What are you complaining about?

HOUSE MILITARY AFFAIRS COM- MITTEE DRAFT NEW SCHEME USE MEN OF A. E. F. WOULD SIDETRACK UNIVERSAL MILITARY TRAINING Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, Nov. 7.—It was disclosed here that a majority of the members of the House committee on military affairs are preparing an army reorganization bill which ignores the principle of universal military training and which would substitute for it a reserve army of 1,000,000 who had experience in the late war. The plan, which is now being drafted into bill form by the majority of the committee, while stanch advocates of universal military training are still contending for recognition, embodies the following outstanding features: A regular army of 289,000 officers and enlisted men. A United States army made up from men honorably discharged who saw service or had training in the war with Germany and the National Guard of the several states. An increased officers' reserve corps. Consolidated and independent military and commercial air service. Separate and individual tank and chemical warfare branches. Consolidated transportation service separate from the quartermaster's department. Officer promotion in the regular army from a single list and by selection. Line officers as chiefs of the various arms of the service. A general staff college through which officers must pass before detail to the general staff. Members of the committee say that the sidetracking of universal military training in the formulation of this bill is made necessary, because they believe to make an issue of it at this time in the committee would result in its defeat. Only seven members of the committee, it is declared, are ready to vote for universal training at this time as a part of the national defense system. Besides these seven members, others of the committee are said to hold the view that universal training will come ultimately, but that Congress is not now ready for it. For this reason they hesitate to incorporate it in a bill as coming from the committee. But this course, it is declared, will not prevent the issue from getting before the House, because earnest advocates of the system are certain to inject it on the floor as an amendment to the committee bill if that bill comes from the committee as now outlined. No final vote in committee has been taken. Representative Kahn, chairman of the House committee, is directing the formulation of the new bill, and is supporting the provisions which will be offered as a substitute for universal training.

As to the larger wells on the Stem Lease, five are pumping and three are being cleaned. The Delaware forty-acre lease has one well which is pumping. This lease looks favorable for good shallow production, and I advise the Company drill this forty as soon as possible. This completed our inspection of the producing properties. While it is true that production in these fields is known as "small production," yet it is also an established fact that drilling is inexpensive and production is practically guaranteed, and these small wells might be termed "sure dividend producers." We next went to Butler County and looked over our Woods Lease of 319 acres, and I found that it is right adjoining big production; this was a very satisfactory location for the company but the company now has a one-half interest, and we also looked over the 2,600 acres on which the Company has an option. These tracts are surrounded by wells now being drilled by other large companies, and one well has already been brought in and another reported brought in, since I left the fields that had been used as making barrels; information has not yet been received as to the other. From there I went to Amarillo, Texas, which was my second trip to this property, found our No. 1 well, and another reported well in the area, down 200 feet, and everything going as well as could be expected, considering the distance the camp is from the railway, and existing rainy weather. However, everything is moving along nicely, and all indications point to bringing in a new field in the area going over the marsh. Field very thoroughly, it looks like one of the biggest fields in Texas. I look for a big production. I consider the Company fortunate in getting in here on the ground floor.

Boys to Repel Foes, Plea of Bishop WASHINGTON.—Perfection of American citizenship, development of American manhood, and a mighty force for the maintenance of peace will follow the adoption of universal military and vocational training by the United the Civil war. "The lack of preparedness and training during the Civil war was alarming," he said. "Scarcely any of them had any kind of training until almost at the end of the war. They were sent to the front with ten or fifteen days' training. "I have been told that some of our men in this latest war were sent to the front with 30 to 60 days' training. A slaughter of men resulted." Asked whether universal training would lead to "militarism," the bishop replied to Representative Kahn: "No. Militarism is rule by soldiers in authority. There is not the slightest danger that this nation will be ruled by the military power." U. S. Population Shifts in War, Census Shows STRIKING changes in the growth and character of the population of the United States are expected to be shown by the 1920 census, preparations for which are under way. The shifting of population because of the industrial cities in the central East, such as Cleveland and Detroit, have been growing at a greatly increased rate during the recent years, as have manufacturing centers farther east. Formerly, the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast states increased in population with twice the rapidity of eastern and central states. During this year, however, certain modifications of the unusual situation may be made. The opening of reclamation projects in the West, the resumption of immigration, and other causes, it is thought, will change the abnormal distribution. There will also be a tendency to return to normal now that the war is ended. Pronounced changes are expected also in the "constitution of the population"-the ratio of males to females, the proportions of native and foreign stock and the age distribution. Every Person in U. S. Has an Ugly Rat to Kill THERE is a rat for every person in the United States. If every man, woman and child should make his and her financial pro rata contribution to what these hundred million or more rats exact for upkeep annually, we would be or brown rat, the common black rat and the Alexandrian rat, which is a particularly mean beast of untidy habits and a native disregard for the most elemental of the niceties of life. The Norway rat is the largest and most ferocious of America's rodents. He'll eat anything, not stopping at a very small child if particularly hungry. He has been pretty well killed off and the government adjures all of us who see him to attack at once and crush him. The black rat and the Alexandrian have been confined by various household and barnyard traps, poisons and other exterminators to the water fronts of sea ports. They are all aliens, their ancestors having come from Egypt, Norway and other old world countries as far back as the days of John Smith and Salem witchcraft. The United States public health service doesn't limit rat killing to any stated methods, but says that rat proofing one's home and barns and granaries is more effective than trusting to rat catchers—mechanical or animal—traps or poisons. First rat proof your buildings, then go out after the rat in the enclosure. open. Under the shibboleth "Rout the Rat," the Public health service has issued rules, chief of which is "Demand city antirat ordinances and state antirat laws." Demonstrates Value of American Citizenship ANOTHER step was taken a few days ago in the race to save a great fortune when the senate adopted the joint resolution restoring to citizenship Frances Scarville Mumm. The house will be urged to act with haste. This is France for 20 years. The marriage was an international social event. When the war began Mumm returned to Germany, while the wife remained in France and rendered service to the allied armies as a nurse. She and her husband reached an agreement which was filed at the American legation in Berne, under which she was to receive a share of his estate. It was impossible for her to reach the German courts or apply for a divorce in them. Under the peace treaty the property of German citizens was subject to confiscation in France. Such procedure would cause Mrs. Mumm to lose her share, which is said to be a large sum. Representations were made to the French authorities and regret was expressed by them that no alternative remained but loss for her under the present circumstances. It was pointed out that if she were an American citizen the situation would be entirely different different. Mrs. Mumm hastened here and Senator Carpper introduced a joint resolution restoring her citizenship. If this can be accomplished before her husband's property is confiscated her share will not be affected by the peace treaty. The case is being eagerly watched by others whose interests have become involved because of property holdings in Germany and other countries which were at war.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES FIXED Leaders From Nearly All European Countries Are to Participate—Americans Are Not Afraid That Radicals Will Seize Control. Bv JAMES P. HORNADAY. Washington.—In spite of the fact that the United States senate has not yet ratified the treaty of peace with Germany, the international labor conference authorized by the peace treaty will meet here on October 29, in accordance with the call issued some months ago. Neither the state department nor the labor department is able to say at this time what nations will be represented at the conference. The treaty of peace provides that the original members of the League of Nations shall be the original members of this organization. It is now proposed that the United States shall be represented at the conference in an unofficial way. Delegates representing this country will be present but will not have a vote unless the treaty shall have been ratified by the United States senate by October 29. In view of the unrest that exists throughout the world, keen interest will inevitably center on this labor conference. The treaty of peace enunciates certain methods and principles for regulating labor conditions. Nine Guiding Principles. The conference will be bound by these principles or regulations, which are as follows: First—The guiding principle that labor shall not be regarded merely as a commodity or article of commerce. Second—The right of assertion for all lawful purposes by the employed as well as by the employers. Third—The payment to the employee of a wage adequate to maintain a reasonable standard of life as this is understood in each country. Fourth—The adoption of the eighth-hour day or a 48-hour week as a standard to be aimed at where it has not already been attained. Fifth—The adoption of a weekly rest of at least 24 hours, which will include Sunday wherever practicable. Sixth—The abolition of child labor and the imposition of such limitations on the labor of young persons as shall permit the continuation of their education and assure their proper physical development. Seventh—The principle that men and women should receive equal remuneration for work of equal value. Eighth—The standard set by law in each country with respect to the conditions of labor should have due regard to the equitable economic treatment of all workers lawfully resident therein. Ninth—Each state should make provision for a system of inspection, in which women should take part. In order to insure the enforcement of the laws and regulations for the protection of the employed. Not Afraid of Radicals. Not Afraid of Radicals. The conference will bring to the national capital the most influential labor leaders in every European country with the exception of Germany, Austria and Russia. In some quarters the fear has been expressed lest the conference might fall into the hands of the radical leaders. According to American labor leaders there is small likelihood of any such outcome. It is asserted by the American leaders that the program speaks for itself as a conservative estimate of what labor should seek to attain for itself. President Wilson had expected to address the international conference at his first meeting here, but it is certain now that he will not be able to do this, and it may be that Samuel M. Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, who took a leading part in the campaign which resulted in labor receiving recognition in the treaty of pence, will not be able to attend the meeting. The conference will not have authority to bind any nation to anything. Whatever it accomplishes, it is pointed out, will be along the line of planning to obtain recognition throughout the world for the nine principles set out above. In this connection it is pointed out that, most of these principles have already been accepted in the United States. Under the treaty there is to be an international labor office established at the seat of the League of Nations. This office is to be under the control of a governing body consisting of 24 persons. One of its chief functions will be the collection and distribution of information on all subjects relating to the international adjustment of conditions of industrial life and labor and particularly the examination of subjects which it is to bring before the conference at its annual meetings. Revising War Risk Law Legislation that is now approaching the final stage makes many important changes in the war risk insurance law. The revision bill, which has passed the house of representatives and is before the senate with a favorable committee recommendation, has the approval of the secretary of the treasury, the cabinet officer who administers the war risk law. The new schedule of pay for disability incurred in the recent war is as follows: Total permanent disability, $100 a month; total temporary disability if the soldier has neither wife nor child living, $80 a month; if he has a wife but no child living, $90 a month; if he has a wife and one child living, $55 a month; if he has a wife and two children living $100 a month, and if he has no wife but one child, $90 a month; for each additional child where there is no wife living, $5 a month; if he has a mother or father, or both dependent on him for support, $10 a month in addition. "At the MAN'S STORE" SPECIAL SALE OF MEN'S AND WOMEN'S Leather Coats The new legislation says specifically what a man who served in the war shall receive for a certain disability. Under the existing law it has not always been easy for the war risk bureau to determine the amount of benefit a soldier should receive. The new legislation provides that if the medical examination shows that a beneficial under the law is only 50 per cent disabled, he is to receive one half the amount set out in the schedule. Thus, for instance, the legislation says that a man who has totally lost his hearing is only 50 per cent disabled and may earn 50 per cent of his own living. Accordingly he and his family would only receive 50 per cent of the compensation allotment for total disability. Removes an Injustice. The pending bill also moves to eradicate an alleged injustice caused by the law's former definition of parents. The new proposal is to include in the definition of "father" and "mother," stepfathers, stepmothers, fathers and mothers through adoption, and persons who have stood in relation to former soldiers and sailors as parents for a period of more than one year. This change is made to benefit hundreds of persons throughout the country, who, having brought up adopted sons or stepsons or children without legal process, could not receive the benefits of the old law because they did not come within the definition of "father" and "mother." The new provision is malle retroactive from October 6, 1917. The cases of hundreds of men who after being inducted into the military service, but before they were actually sworn in and before they had a chance to apply for insurance, are to be taken care of in the new bill. While the new bill declares that a person is not in the active service until he has accepted and enrolled, two provisions are made that cover most of the above cases. One provision is that if a man is killed or injured in line of duty, after induction, but before final acceptance, he is eligible to the benefits of the act; the second provides that a man who applied for insurance after being inducted and before being finally accepted, shall be eligible to benefits under the law.

This will mean the elimination of a great lump from Uncle Sam's budget, four months after the declaration of peace, for although the payments are now being cut down owing to the decreased army they are still up in the millions.

Arrangement is made under the bill for exchanges of hospital service with foreign nations.

THE MAY CO Another American Red Cross roll call will be made November 2-11. It the expectations of the organization are realized, several hundred thousand new members will be enrolled. Each new member will mean one additional dollar for the work of the organization, for that is the price of admission. The peace activities of the Red Cross are to be multiplied many times compared with what they were before the recent war, and these activities will, of course, take money. An enormous amount of work remains to be done in Europe before the organization can withdraw but in due time it is proposed to center all the activities in the United States. HEADQUARTERS FOR UNION LABEL WEARING APPAREL The program of camp service activities in this country under the direction of the department of military relief provide for a recreation program at every general army and base hospital. The Red Cross activities at regular army posts, camps, cantonments, etc. are to be confused almost entirely to home service work. It is believed that at the present time this branch of the service is about all that is really needed for well and able-bodied men. Home service work is to be conducted at all stations among patients, corps men and able-bodied men alike.

REPUBLICANS GETTING INTO LINE. THE thoughtful voter who has been following very closely Democratic administration in state and nation is determined to exercise the franchise in a manner otherwise than experimentally, because it has been proven that the results are too hard to bear, as difficulties almost insurmountable are brought about which seem to trample all the work and activity of generations. In the political order of things this week, Massachusetts re-elected its Republican governor, Calvin Coolidge, the man who stands for law, order and justice, and Kentucky came into the Republican ranks, defeating Governor Black, Democrat, for re-election. New Jersey reverted to the Democratic side, electing a governor on the "wet" issue, while Maryland is in doubt, but inclined towards a Democrat governor. Two principal features seem to have guided the spirit of the people—the law and order and the wet and dry propositions; and we feel joyous over the candidates elected on the side of order, for with the present unrest chiefly among the races, with the numerous strikes, etc., it requires a firm hand to dispense the law fearlessly to all law-breakers and disturbers of the peace. The tendency for lawlessness is greatly on the increase, and whether it be from racial antipathy, economic conditions, or anything else, we must have administrators in city and state whom the public will have confidence in and entrust their destiny in their hands. Tammany was thrown down in New York—their whole ticket for Supreme court judges having been beaten. Republicans in Colorado should begin to stir themselves and prepare for our issue, which is not far off, as next year tells the tale. We are all witnesses to the trying times we have passed and are passing through, and if we are to assist in restoring confidence, peace and harmony with the head of the nation and the people, we must insure our home situation by returning men of our Republican faith who will support our next president—a Republican. A few others following the example of Massachusetts will help us materially, and if Kentucky can keep up her reform she may lend her influence to somebody else around and about her. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS. HARVEY'S WEEKLY DENOUNCES NEGRO SOLDIER AS A FIGHTER. POST-WAR doses come fast and freely to the Negro soldier in abuses, insults, assaults, murder, but there is another that comes with an action greater than the croton oil this time, and coming from the editor of Harvey's Weekly, a writer credited for his outspoken manner in everything for the welfare of the people, as well as denouncing in high or low places whatever seems detrimental, we have to give more than passing attention to his article, "The Negro Soldier," in his issue of November 1st, in which he exhibits the Negro as unfitted for COMBAT FORCES, and after submitting extracts from commanding officers and regimental commanders as to the cowardice and inferior fighting qualities of our men, suggests our men be employed in "the auxiliary branches." This comes about from the question of universal training proposed to the Congress by the War Department, and which offers an estimate that nearly 700,000 boys will be available for instruction annually; and because it is assumed that no reason exists for differentiating racially in the training, Colonel Harvey, whose heart pulsates with that superior grade of honesty that characterizes his race in this country, sounds the warning note in time to the Senate committee to investigate carefully so that time and money may not be wasted in training men "whose record," he says, "proves them incapable of meeting the demands of modern warfare." Now, the article tells us the Ninety-second Division was the only Negro division sent to France, and the officers were all Negroes except the commanding and field, who were Regulars, and they were assigned to the division because of their service with Regular Negro regiments. Disobedience of orders, inefficiency, cowardice and every act proving his non-combatic tendency are ascribed to Negro officers and men of the Three Hundred Sixty-eighth Regiment—that was the only one sent forward to the fighting line, while the others were held in reserve. In the military language, "The Three Hundred and Sixty-eighth broke," and according to the writer the French commander reported that his forces were being attacked on the flanks because THE NEGROES DID NOT GO FORWARD. Histories have been published, and are in course of publication, on "the American Negro in the war." THEY TELL AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY. The best of our sympathizers (white) feel that we are woefully lacking, mentally, and therefore just train us to the places we are fitted for. It is not necessary to recount our fighting ability in the different wars of this America; neither would we refer to Congressional Records of the Negro as a fighting machinery, or attempt to resurrect Colonel Roosevelt of yesterday; but we call upon the War Department of the U. S. A., through Emmett J. Scott, who was in the position at the time, to extend its courtesies to the press of this country and give out dispatches from General Foch and other French generals regarding the American Negro as a soldier in modern warfare, and if there are two truths—one American and one French—then the average white American can be left to choose his and we will be content with the other. In justice to us, in refutation of the statements and quotations of this article in Harvey's Weekly of November 1, 1919 (if they can be refuted), let the National Negro Press Association start at once to set up right and arrest this disgrace, which will be only accredited to the American soldier of color, and which will greatly interfere in his future training for modern warfare. A TIMELY REMINDER TO THE U. S. GOVERNMENT. IF THIS nation desires to maintain its proud position among the nations of the world and prove that it is a democracy in deed as well as in word, it must carry out the letter and the spirit of its constitution. Any government which has the right to make its citizens bear arms in its defense must by the same token have the power to protect them," formed one of the main arteries of the National Race Congress held last month, the proceedings of which we publish on the front page of this issue. While this is a repetition of what we have advocated for many years, yet it will and must come with greater force and carry a greater weight with our government when the fact is presented so clearly that in every state, in every municipality, the citizens of this country who suffer most on account of their dark appearance are provided for in equal rights and privileges according to the law of the land, and, being deprived of it in the dispensing of justice in the majority, they are determined to use every legitimate means, move every spirit of fair play, appeal to the highest tribunal of the government, for the fulfilment of this constitution that offers no discrimination, or does not propose one-sided methods, as a qualification for citizenship. We cannot help from giving our admiration to our people who have not grown weary under the burden of injustice for these many years and who have realized the good that comes from organizing, for in this particular feature will we compel a hearing in our city councils, legislative halls, and finally in Congress. This National Race Congress plainly shows that our hearts are beating as one, our intellect being shapen in the same mould, our demands made at the same time with a spirit not savoring of the physical or the drastic, but with a deep sense of the principle that ultimately relieves weaker nations and subject peoples, we will gain our objective. Has America forgotten the history of nations of a few centuries ago? Has she forgotten already her cry for help less than 150 years ago when she begged assistance from faraway Europe to help her to remove the yoke that was actually crushing her people's pride, what she then termed her deprivation of representation in the voice of the governed? Surely there can be no forgetfulness; and whether the time appears long, or the action for that liberty that makes for citizenship pure and simple be delayed, every member of our race should hail with delight his existence at a time that is gradually exposing to view the hypocrisy that defies right and justice in their own borders, and which must crumble before the united efforts of a people who have resolved to combine every power within them for the maintenance of the American institution of ONE FAITH, ONE COUNTRY, ONE PEOPLE. The good work of this National Race Congress must be kept up, and the bringing about of consolidated action for the successful prosecution of our cause will be amply rewarded by the evidence that our United States government will give to the world now and in the time to come—SHE PRACTICES WHAT SHE PREACHES.

Knowing him as we did, it can well be said of him, he had no fear of anything in this world or the next, and when the court of last resort issued its final summons to him he manfully bade farewell to his family and all earthly things and quietly journeyed to that undiscovered country from whose bourne no traveler returns. But little more than a year ago he left Denver with his family for Portland, Ore., a robust youth, with an appearance that made us feel many more years would be added to his vigorous manhood, and in his correspondence to his many friends after more lucrative inducements beckoned him to Seattle, he assured them of his success in life and his improvement in his musical vocation. But it was not to be. The mysteries of life we no more understand than the mysteries of death. It seems about the limit of our knowledge and capacity is to do what we can, to do what we ought, and leave hoping and fearing above. We humbly submit to the final decree, and observe "soft as the memory of buried love"—he is no more. Graduating from the East Denver High School, Mr. Carrie pertained to very scholarly attainments, and locally as well as his last temporary residence attracted attention in his musical ability. Vocally as well as instrumentally. He was a member of the Jackson's orchestra of Denver and the Y. M. C. A. Glee Club, and after his removal to the Northwest sang in the church choirs of the cities. Marrying Miss Ida Downing on Jan. 18, 1911, they lived in continued happiness and her devotion to him during his lifetime proved the genuineness of her companionship. Succumbing to an operation three weeks afterward in an effort to save his life, a loyal husband is lost to a fond and noble wife who becomes the recipient of many sympathies from relatives and a large circle of friends. The body of the deceased arrived last Tuesday evening from Seattle accompanied by Mrs. Carrie. Funeral services were held last Thursday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. George S. Contee, 2612 Welton Street, aunt and uncle of Mrs. Carrie. Rev. Father H. B. Brown of the Episcopal church of the Holy Redeemer officiated. Mrs. Lillian Hawkins Jones rendered the solo "Jesus Knows Why" and Mrs. Jessie Andrews Zachary, "Abide With Me." The rendition offering quite a consolation to the bereaved family. The deceased leaves a sorrowing widow, father, brother, other relatives and a host of friends and acquaintances to mourn his death. The floral offerings were numerous and beautiful.

The birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt, New York city, has recently been purchased by the Women's Roosevelt Memorial Association, which intends to refurnish and maintain it as a Roosevelt memorial, advices the Automobile Blue Book. The house next door, formerly occupied by T. R.'s uncle, forms part of the purchase and a fund of one million dollars is being collected to create in it a center of Americanization. A restaurant occupied the birthplace of the colonel and ex-president for a time, and as a means of drawing customers, a sign was hung in the window which read: "Come in and eat where Roosevelt was born." --- E.

While I know one Harry who was so christened with disregard for the more dignified Henry and there may be other instances of the kind, there seems to be little doubt that the latter is the parent of the former name. England has always called its King Henrys "Harry." During the reign of Henry VI, who succeeded to the throne in 1422, there was a piece of money coined called the Harry noble, and in the time of Henry VIII there was a tiny coin named the Harry great.

HOUSEKEEPER MAY DETERMINE WHETHER SHE IS GETTING MEAT OF DESIRABLE QUALITY ```markdown ``` Three Grades of Beef—Note Percentage of Meat to Bone Between “Prime” on Left and “Medium” on Right—(A) Front Ribs; (B) Back Ribs. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) When the retail meat dealer buys from the wholesaler, he does not depend altogether on the wholesale firm’s honesty and good faith to secure the grade of meat he wants for his trade. Instead, keeping in mind certain points and characteristics which determine grades of beef, the retailer, before he buys and pays for it, decides for himself whether he has been given what he ordered. lean on all cuts, which are taken from the loins, ribs and some parts of the round. Choice meat is firm to the touch and of fine grain. There must be no watery appearance on the freshly cut surfaces. The “good” grade of beef is next in quality to “choice” and may differ slightly in all points or correspond in some points to “choice” and differ materially in others. The covering of fat is not so smooth and uniform, but must be white in color and dry in air. The housekeeper should be quite as familiar as the butcher with the various grades of beef. Few housekeepers, however, have this knowledge. Even those women who pride themselves that "cotton mixed" is not sold them for linen, buy beef, week after week, year after year, and depend altogether on their butcher's honesty. Not until it is cooked and served do they know whether they have been given the "choice" meat they asked and paid the price for, or only that of "medium" or "common" quality. Linen buying is only occasional, but meat buying is daily, and every woman should be familiar with the different grades of meat. Toward this end the bureau of markets, United States department of agriculture, has defined the four grades of beef. How Beef Is Usually Graded. The "choice" grade of beef denotes the best quality usually found in the markets. Only a limited amount of what is known as "prime" beef is offered in most markets. This grade is usually offered in limited quantities during the Christmas or holiday seasons, and immediately following livestock shows. "Choice" beef has a moderately even covering of fat on the outer surfaces. This fat is smooth in appearance and white in color, but is not in excessive amounts. The color of the lean meat is light red, with traces of fat distributed through the SELECTION AND CARE OF USEFUL UTENSILS First Decide if Device Will Pay for Itself in Long Run. Often They Are Cumbersome and Difficult to Clean—Few Drops of Water Sprinkled on Duster Takes Up the Dirt Easily. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Before buying any household device, decide whether it will pay for itself in the long run by saving time and strength or wear and tear, or if it will make some especially disagreeable task less unpleasant. Devices which can be used for many purposes are seldom employed by the housekeeper for more than one, and often they are more cumbersome to handle and less easily cleaned. Long handles on brooms, brushes, and dustpans save the back, the office of home economics kitchen of the department of agriculture suggests. A cleaning cloth should be soft and loosely woven, so that it will take up dirt easily and itself be easy to clean. A duster takes up dirt better if a few drops of water or oil are sprinkled on it. Beware of too much moisture or oil, for it leaves streaks. For wiping very dirty places use soft paper, cotton waste, or rags, which may be thrown away. Keep the cleaning things together in a convenient place. Put them away clean. Hang brushes, mops and brooms when not in use. Clean string mops by shaking over a damp newspaper or a can. Never shake in the open air unless you are sure the dirt will not trouble you or your neighbors. Wash occasionally in hot water with washing soda or soap and dry quickly. Sprinkle a few drops of oil on the oil mops after cleaning. Clean carpet sweepers frequently. Empty the box on damp newspaper and use old scissors and buttonhook or coarse comb to remove the hairs and dirt on the brushes. Keep the bearings oiled. Useful Vacuum Cleaner. A carpet sweeper or a vacuum cleaner should be used in the daily cleaning of the carpets and rugs. A vacuum cleaner operated by hand or electric power removes practically all the dust and dirt from carpets and rugs in dustless manner. lean on all cuts, which are taken from the loins, ribs and some parts of the round. Choice meat is firm to the touch and of fine grain. There must be no watery appearance on the freshly cut surfaces. The "good" grade of beef is next in quality to "choice" and may differ slightly in all points or correspond in some points to "choice" and differ materially in others. The covering of fat is not so smooth and uniform, but must be white in color and dry in appearance. The color of the lean meat in this grade also varies slightly and may be of darker hue than the "choice" grade, but it is not dark. "Good" beef is of smooth grain and has traces of fat, which is white or creamy in color, distributed through the lean. The bulk of the beef offered for sale in most markets is of "medium" grade. In this there is usually very little and often no covering of outside fat except on the loin and rib cuts. The fat is not evenly distributed. During the summer and fall months "medium" grade beef has a watery appearance and the color of the lean meat varies considerably, but is usually dark, even when freshly cut. "Medium" beef has a tendency to turn still darker very quickly after being cut. The grain is coarse and not uniform, and there are no traces of fat distributed through the lean. The "common" grade is the lowest quality of beef offered for sale in a fresh condition to the trade. One of its prominent features is the high percentage of bone in proportion to the meat. There is only a slight covering of outside fat on the rib and loin cuts. "Common" beef has a flabby appearance, is dark in color, and coarse in grain. A few traces of fat may be discerned, but they usually are of a yellow color and are unevenly distributed. HOUSE CLEANING SIMPLIFIED Easier to Keep Dirt From Walks, Steps and Porches Than to Clean Rugs and Carpets. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Keeping the dirt out of the house as far as possible is the first step in simplifying house cleaning. It is easier to keep walks, steps, porches, and sills clean than to remove the dirt from rugs and floors after it has been tracked inside the house. Clean shoes and rubbers mean less dirt for the housekeeper to combat. When cleaning, remove the dust thoroughly. Right methods mean removing, not scattering the dust about to settle again. Do the heavy cleaning a little at a time and avoid the spring and fall house cleaning. Use water and cleaning agents sparingly. Too much of either injures wood and all finishes as well as weakening glue, paste, and cement. Always rub until dry the surface which has been dampened. Train the family to leave things in place and in good condition. Good habits are worth cultivating, and this one also simplifies the work of the housekeeper. ALL AROUND the HOUSE Slices of fresh cucumber are a very good tonic for the skin. Always empty the water out of a kettle before refilling it. * * * * Potato salad should be made of cold bolled, not baked, potatoes. * * * * Iced tea is improved by some slices of orange as well as lemon. * * * * The pantry shelves are best covered with white oilcloth, cut to fit. * * * * The stove wii: keep its polish if it is rubbed daily with a newspaper. * \ \ * * Use borax in tepid water for washing silk handkerchiefs. Iron dry. * * * * A paint brush is excellent in removing dust from carvings on furniture.

Put the cheese in a but Toasted Cheese.—Cut thin slices of cheese a little smaller than the pieces of toast on which they are to be served. Put the cheese in a buttered tin and place in the oven to toast. While this is toasting, toast the bread, butter it, then place a slice of cheese on each piece of toast and serve at once. A rich cheese should be used for this dish. Cheese Balls—To one cupful of grated cheese add one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of paprika and three drops of Worcestershire sauce. Beat two whites of eggs until stiff; add enough of this to moisten the cheese. Make into balls, roll in bread crumbs and fry in hot fat. Serve hot in a nest of parsley. Creamed Cheese on Toast.—Make a cream sauce of four tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour worked together with a pint of cream or milk a season with salt, mustard and paprika and add two cupfuls of soft cheese broken in bits. When the cheese is melted add two beaten eggs, then pour quickly over hot toast or wafers. Cheese Croquettes.—Make a thick white sauce, using four tablespoonfuls of butter, the same of flour and one cupful of milk. Beat into this one egg yolk and season highly with paprika and a little salt. Add two tablespoonfuls of grated cheese, and when melted remove from the heat and add one and one-half cupfuls of mild cheese cut in cubes. Cool the mixture thoroughly, shape into any desired form and try as usual in deep fat. Cheese Fondu.—Pour one cupful of scalded milk over one cupful of soft bread crumbs, add three-fourths of a cupful of soft cheese cut in bits, one tablespoonful of butter, and salt and red pepper to taste. Beat five egg yolks until thick, add to the mixture, fold in the stiffly beaten whites and bake in a moderate oven 20 minutes. It is the man or the woman of faith, and hence of courage, who is master of circumstances, and who makes his or her power felt in the world.—Ralph Waldo Trine. HOUSEHOLD ECONOMIES. Making the dollar do the work of two has been a woman's problem for years; but now with a dollar stretched to the breaking point to meet the demands laid upon it, is certainly the work of the whole family. Even in homes where there has always been a good income, women who are good managers delight in dollar stretched to the breaking point to meet the demands laid upon it, is certainly the work of the whole family. Even in homes where there has always been a good income, women who are good managers delight in using absolutely everything edible and wearable. There is great satisfaction in making something worth while from food or clothing. There are many ways that a dollar thus saved may be used toward added comfort, or extra hospitality, or for some special treat which the household can all enjoy, for "a dollar saved is a dollar earned." There are few housekeepers who need to be told how to save in large things (those that do, won't read this anyway), but it is in the little leaks and small wastes that count into the dollars during the years. Do you scrape your molding board carefully after using it for pastry, bread, biscuit or cookies, and throw the waste into the garbage can? All such bits should be sifted to remove the flour, then add to the sour milk pitcher or jar. When using sour milk for griddle cakes or any other food, stir it well, and the bits of pastry will add shortening to the dish. The homely, common dishes, such as beef stew, which have been served for years, may be made into a dish of real elegance if one-half 'cupful of stuffed olives, a dash or two of paprika and a sprinkling of parsley is added, just before taking up. A bit of cooked ham of any kind put through the meat grinder adds flavor to a dish of Spanish rice or a white sauce. A cut lemon or Bermuda onion may be kept fresh a long time by turning the cut side down on a plate and covering with waxed paper. Preserved citron melon, a pint of it added to mincemeat, makes a most delightful addition. If the citron is put through a grinder before preserving, it will be found more enjoyable and may then be used as a garnish for puddings, ice creams and such dishes. Surgeon's tape is a most valuable aid in the household. It will stop a leak for the time being in a hot water bottle, cure a corn if renewed occasionally and kept on to soften and protect the foot from friction. "Those who bring sunshine to* the life of* others cannot keep it from them." EASY DESSERTS. Rice is not holding its place as a wholesome dessert. Take one-third of a cup of well-washed rice, add a scant half cup of sugar (brown sugar adds a pleasing flavor), a little salt and two quarts of good, rich milk. Bake about three hours in a slow oven, stirring often during the a cup of well-washed rice, add a scant half cup of sugar (brown sugar adds a pleasing flavor), a little salt and two quarts of good, rich milk. Bake about three hours in a slow oven, stirring often during the baking. Add a cupful of raisins or less, with cinnamon, nutmeg or vanilla for flavoring. Serve with a hard sauce. Fruit Puffs.—Bent the yolks of two eggs until thick and light colored, then add three-fourths of a cupful of sliced ripe peaches or bannanas; add a tablespoonful of melted butter, third of a cup of milk and a tablespoonful of sugar. Sift two teaspoonfuls of baking powder with one and one-half cupfuls of flour, add a little salt and mix well. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and drop by teaspoonfuls into hot fat. When brown, drain and roll in powdered sugar. On baking day when it is hard to find time for extra dishes try these: Add shortening to bread dough, mold as for biscuit and let stand until light. Have ready any kind of juicy fruit, canned or fresh. When the biscuit are light, dot with bits of butter and pour the juice and fruit over them; sprinkle with sugar and nutmeg or cinnamon and bake one-half hour in a hot oven. Cranberry Pudding.—Put a quart of berries over the fire to stew with sufficient water; when boiling hot drop small spoonfuls of batter over the berries, cover and steam 20 minutes. Serve with sugar and cream. Make the batter by using one egg (beaten), one-half cupful of milk, one cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder and half a teaspoonful of salt. Fifteen-Minute Pudding.—Make a batter of one cupful of flour, half a cupful of milk, a teaspoonful of baking powder, half a teaspoonful of salt. Butter custard cups, drop in a spoonful of the batter, add a heaping tablespoonful of any juicy canned fruit like cherries or strawberries, add another spoonful of batter and place the cups in a pan, add boiling water to come up well on the sides, cover closely and steam 15 minutes, boiling all the time. Serve unmolded with cream and sugar. The roses of pleasure seldom last long enough to adorn the brow of him who plucks them; for they are the only roses which do not retain their sweetness after they have lost their beauty.—Hannah More. FOR THOSE WHO LIKE FISH. Fish are always in season, either fresh or canned, and many delightful dishes may be prepared of various kinds of fish, suitable to the season and purse. Baked Trout with Shrimp Sauce.—Clean, wash and dry a Baked Trout with Shrimp Sauce. — Clean, wash and dry a large trout. Gash each side in half a dozze places, lay in each gash a lardoon of fat salt pork, then brush the fish inside and out with melted butter mixed with lemon juice. Put a rack in the baking pan, on it lay the fish, pour a cupful of boiling water in the bottom and place in a very hot oven. Allow twelve minutes to the pound and baste three or four times with melted butter. Cook in a saucepan one tablespoonful of butter and flour together. When the fish is removed from the pan pour the water from the pan into the thickened butter, add salt, pepper, and enough kitchen bouquet or caramel to make a brown sauce; add a tablespoonful of lemon juice and one-half cupful of finely chopped shrimps. If the sauce seems too thick, add boiling water and boll up again. Garnish the fish with parsley and quarters of lemon. Piguant Stuffing.—Pour half a cupful of vinegar over three cupfuls of crumbs, squeeze dry, add to the crumbs one-half cupful of melted butter or butter substitute, one cupful of chopped olives, three chopped pickles, one small green pepper, finely chopped, salt, pepper and curry powder to taste. Broiled Fish.—Any good sized fish of firm flesh may be selected for broiling. Split it from head to tail and remove the back bone if desired. Brush with melted butter and broil in a wire broiler over a clear fire. A five-pound fish will require twenty-five minutes. Serve garnished with latticed potatoes which have been fried a golden brown in deep fat; add also the usual lemon quarters and a bit of parsley. Fresh Fish Balls.—Flake any leftover fish and mix it with an equal quantity of seasoned mashed potatoes, fresh and hot; make into balls, add egg to the potato or dip in egg and fry. Bolled rice is a good substitute for potato. Nellie Maxwell WESTERN BEEF CO. Chitterlings, Pig Tails, Snouts, Ears, Pigs Feet, Neck ones, Spare Ribs Received Fresh Daily. Meats of All Kinds..

Shoup has issued a proclamation declaring Tuesday, Nov. 11, a legal holiday, to be known as Liberty day, in accordance with a statute passed at the last session of the Legislature. The proclamation follows: The proclamation follows: "Whercas, The General Assembly of Colorado in regular session passed an act which declares 'that the eleventh day of November of the year of our Lord, 1919, and the eleventh day of November each and every year thereafter, is hereby made a public holiday to be known as Liberty day, and such day is hereby set apart for proper celebration by the people of the state of Colorado in commemoration of the victory of the armies of the United States of America and her allies against Germany and the survival of liberty and democracy at home and abroad." "Now, therefore, L Oliver H. Shoup, governor of the state of Colorado, in obedience to said statute, do hereby declare and proclaim Tuesday, Nov. 11, 1919, as Liberty day, the same to be recognized and observed by the people of the state as a public holiday. "Tell it to the Marines" one of the old slogans applied to this branch of the service will soon be changed to "Show it to the Marines" if the applicants for enlistment keep on trying to get by the wily recruiters. It happens often that men who are anxious to get in the "Three in One" service will try methods not up to regulations to become a member. John W. Wilson, of Lincoln, Nebraska, found out to his sorrow that the Marines are always wide awake, he has tried to enlist in several localities but could not pass the eye test, having defective vision of the right eye. Wilson came to Denver and decided he was ready to slip by the local recruiting station and after taking the required distance for the eye test, he made the mistake of reading the letters too fast which caused the Sergueant to sit up and take notice. Wilson was then required to call letters at random through a marker and fell down. He then volunteered the information that he had a card test and had studied the letters for two months so he could pass and that he was sorry that he was detected. If a small boy or a young miss, wearing the pin of a "Modern Health Crusader," comes up and taps you on the shoulder with the grave information that you are breaking some health rule, you'll know that the "Health Inspector" is after you. Fifty thousand school children in thirty-nine counties of Colorado have put their heads and hearts into a health campaign which has been inaugurated by the Colorado Public Health Association and which is gaining in vigor every day. The crusade is growing so rapidly in juvenile popularity that the youngsters in the various schools have hit upon the scheme of appointing their own "health inspectors" to enforce the provisions of the new "game" which they have undertaken. No damage to the apple crop of the Grand valley has resulted from the cold and snow according to fruit growers from over the valley. It is estimated that 400 cars of apples remain in the valley and of this number 100 car loads remain on the trees. Picking has been rushed for a number of weeks past and unless the weather should turn off intensely cold little or no damage will be done. Fifty persons in a total of seventynine, the largest naturalization class ever examined in the district of Colorado, were granted United States citizenship by Judge Robert E. Lewis in the Federal court yesterday. Representatives from sixteen countries were among the applicants, including Germany, Austria and Hungary. Plans for a drive for $150,000, to be launched Dec. 1st, have been formulated by the Colorado Public Health Association of which James H. Pershing has been chosen president. Present indications are that the census report for next year will show a population of at least 1,100,000 for Colorado, compared with 799,024 for 1910. This would mean an increase of nearly 38 per cent in the past ten years. The estimate of the census bureau places the population of the state now at above 1,070,000, and those of the state immigration department show about the same figures. With 119,635 head of cattle received at the Denver Union stockyards during the month of October, all monthly records were broken. The highest previous record was sat in November, 1917 when cattle receipts totaled 117,933. The increase the past month over the previous record month is 1,702 head. The value of the cattle received in October is estimated at $10,000,000. Thirty-three hundred ex-service men out of the registered 4,000 have been placed in new or in their former positions by the demobilization bureau of the Civic and Commercial Association of Denver, since its inauguration June 1; according to the report for city and state officials compiled by Niel C. Hartley, in charge of the bureau. Helping to drive out the bandits who for a long time have infested the mountainous jungles of Santo Domingo, Private Lester M. Keeton, of Eaton, Colorado, is now serving with Squadron "D" of the United States Marine Aviation Force which makes its headquarters at San Pedro de Macoris in the eastern part of the island of Haiti. Private Keeton is a son of Mrs. Martha Keeton of Eaton, Colorado. J. M. Sellers and party of Florence while coming down through Phantom canyon recently, ran into two mountain sheep just below the second tunnel. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION hy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Western Newspaper Union News Service. COMING EVENTS. Armistice Day, November 11. The Red Cross Christmas Seal sale will take place all over the United States from December 1 to 10, 1919. Colorado State Teachers' College will advertise for bids on construction to talling nearly $1,000,000 at once, acc ording to the statement of President John G. Crabbe of the college. Reports of field men for the Holly Sugar Corporation show that the sugar beet crop over the western slope is not one-half harvested. One-third of the beets have been delivered to the factory and with the ideal weather conditions low prevailing, the harvest of the remainder of the crop is being rushed. At the election held at Haxtun the issue of $18,000 additional bonds for the finishing of the grade school building was adopted by a unanimous vote. The previous bond issue was for $30,000, but the amount proved inadequate. Haxtun's grade school attendance has increased in the last year from 190 to 257. The Rev. J. M. Barnett, recently returned from service overseas, where he served as a private in the ranks, enlisted in the same capacity in the Grand Junction company of the Colorado National Guard when that unit was called for service. He is rector of St. Matthew's Episcopal church of that city. Great encouragement is being met by the committees who are soliciting stock subscriptions for the new municipal sanitarium, which will be constructed in Paonia in the spring, if present plans materialize. The committee on building has already several proposed sites under consideration, and at a meeting in the near future one of these will be chosen for the new hospital, which will be one of the best on the Western slope. Records at the postoffice show that during the first eighteen days of October fifty-seven tons of parcels post matter was mailed through the Grand Junction office, this exceeding all previous records. The growth of Grand Junction as a wholesaling center is resulting in the heavy increase in parcels post shipments. Parcels post shipments of fruit from the smaller cities surrounding Grand Junction have also been exceptionally heavy this fall. Final compilation of returns made by county assessors, with reports from three counties still incomplete, show 4,538,960 acres under cultivation in Colorado this year, compared with 2,253,145 acres harvested in 1909. No figures are available at this time to show what percentage of the acreage planted for this year's crops was not harvested, but the percentage in some sections of the state was rather high because of the continued dry weather early in the season. The census report of 1900 does not show what acreage was planted for that year's crops, but only what was harvested. The Co-operative Crop Reporting Service began on November 1st, the calculation of the total production of all principal crops in the various counties in Colorado and will complete the necessary tabulations for publication in the December number of the Crop Bulletin. In these calculations the acreage reports furnished by county assessors will be used, which are very complete for most counties in the state, and which give much larger total acreage for the state than have been furnished before from any source. There are some counties, however, in which the acreage reports are incomplete, and such counties will be given credit for smaller production than they have made. The night service of the express company at Florence will be discontinued, the company having decided to close the office at night until the fruit season opens up next year. Express from the East will be taken through to Cañon City, and returned on Rio Grande train No. 4. If the present plans of the United States Department of Agriculture are carried out there will be available, beginning with next year, much more complete and detailed information regarding the livestock industry in all states than is available at the present time. These plans provide for frequent reports showing the number of livestock of different kinds on hand in the various counties of each state, the number of animals born, the number marketed, the number slaughtered and other important information not now available. In Colorado this new program of furnishing the public information regarding the livestock industry will be handled largely by the Colorado Co-operative Crop Reporting Service, in which the United States Bureau of Crop Estimates and the Colorado Immigration Department are represented. Following up President Wilson's virtual command to the coal miners to call off their threatened strike in the bituminous fields, government officials disclosed that the adoption of drastic measures are contemplated in the event that the unions defy the executive and shut down the mines. Matty Smith, known to many Colorado fight fans, has arrived in New York from overseas with a lieutenant's commission in the Australian army, a score of decorations, title of an Anzac "flying "ace" and the lightweight championship of the interallied armies. Figures Reveal Price World Paid to Prevent Hunnish Hordes Extinguishing Light of Liberty. Some comparative figures which force a realization of the magnitude of the world war are given in Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent, from which is quoted: "There were 19 major wars fought in the world in the 117 years from 1793 to 1910. The late war cost 50 per cent more in lives and cost 700 per cent more in money spent than the whole 19 other wars put together. "The most costly in lives of the previous wars was that between England and France, 1793-1815, a total of 1,900,000 men having perished. "Next came the war of 1854-56, in which England, France, Sardinia, Turkey, Austria and Russia fought; 609,797 men were killed. The more recent war between Russia and Japan came third, claiming the lives of 555,900 men. "In our own Civil war both sides together lost 494,400 men, ranking fourth in loss of life in the great wars previous to the late one. "In the struggle between France and Germany, so disastrous to France and which played a very important part in the recent peace settlement, 311,000 lives were lost. "We Americans who remember or have read of the Civil war, of Gettysburg, of Pickett's charge, of Sherman's march to the sea, of Andersonville, have been wont to look on it as one of terrible slaughter—and it was. "But Russia alone lost more than three times as many men in the late war as were lost by both the North and the South in the Civil war. Germany lost more than three times as many. "France lost nearly three times as many. "Great Britain lost nearly twice as many. "Austria lost nearly twice as many. "So great has been the development in the engines of death that it is almost impossible to conceive the increase of fatalities in the late war as compared with previous wars. "There were 69 years of war among the various nations in the 117 years prior to 1910. "As nearly as can be learned, 5,098,097 men lost their lives in those wars. "That would mean 73,885 lives lost a year, or about 200 a day. "In the late war there were 200 men killed an hour, about 4,800 for every day of the war; a total of 7,450,200, according to the best available figures. That would be about 1,750,000 a year. "In money cost of previous wars the French-English war, 1793-1815, comes first with its tax of $6,250,000,000." Alaskan Fur Seals. A tentative annual census of the Alaskan fur seals just made by Dr. G. Dallas Hanna indicates the strength of the herd as 524,260 animals of all ages, compared with 496,432 seals in 1918. The number of pups born, equivalent to the number of breeding cows, was 157,172, an increase over 1918 of 10 per cent in each class. The aggregate figures for 1919 do not include the seals taken for their skins. According to the telegraph reports, 22,027 fur-seal skins have been taken on St. Paul island and 3,354 on St. George island through the regular killing season ending Aug. 10. A special effort has been made to reduce the excess of large male seals, with the result that over 6,400 such skins have been taken. Sympathetic Neighborhood. "How do you go about locating a 'still' in these parts?" asked the stranger. "Be you a revenuer?" asked the ancient mountaineer. "Oh, no.

You just se' around a spell, sonny, an' some o' th boys'll git so durned sorry fur you they'll come right up an' offer to lead you to a 'still.'"—Birmingham Age-Herald. Agreeable Outlook. "I just now overheard an argument between a theorist and a hard headed business man." "I presume the theorist said the business man lacked vision?" "Oh. yes. That's a stock phrase among theorists who can't pay their board bills, but the business man said he could see a net profit of not less than $200,000 next year, with a little fling at Saratoga, Palm Beach or Monterey, and that was vision enough for blim."

THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY SOFT AND STURDY SWEATERS A --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The production of furs appears to tag a long way behind the demand for them if one can judge by prices they bring today as compared to those of three or four years ago. In the past year price and real value appear to have little relation in fur garments; the most plentiful of pelts, undyed and undisguised in any way, are made up into garments that are as expensive as good and substantial furs ought to be. Really good furs have coated up and away until they have passed beyond the horizon for the woman of modest income. It was inevitable that plushes should forge ahead at the same time but in them real value and price go hand in hand as they should. Plushes have been made to infilate furs very closely in a group known as fur fabrics and they are used for all garments that are made of fur. A good plush is much to be preferred to a poor fur from almost any point of view. It is just as warm, it looks better and wears better. Furs have been very closely imitated in these substantial fabrics. A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. A short cape-like coatee of moleskin Mush, also a wide scarf of duvetyn SOFT AND STU THE COLORADO STATESMAN Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Soft and sturdy yarns, closely and firmly knitted into sweaters and sweater coats with little ornamentation and touch warmth—these are the outstanding style features in this year's products. There is a reaction away from strong contrasts in color, but variations in the weave or knitting serves for decoration. Above all the new sweaters and sweater coats look warm; their collars take their cue from those of coats; they are ample and cozy. There is nothing frivolous or inconsequential about these new models; they are business-like, snug-fitting, and neat. TWODOLLARSAYEAR A great many sweaters and sweater coats are knit with caps to match. There are occasional collarless models provided with a scarf in a lighter color and finished with a fringe of yarn. Very long sleeves that are rolled back at the hand, pockets finished with a band in the color of the scarf having a narrow yarn fringe below it, and buttons set close together add dignity to a handsome sweater of this kind. There is a cap to match with a huge but flat pompon made of loops of yarn on the top of it. This is a sweater de luxe, especially when it is knit by hand. The two models pictured are meant for good service and entice their wearers into the open air. They are machine knit and made in several colors blue and gray being the favorites. --- made up with this fur fabric, and a hat to match, invite consideration as shown in the picture above. The contee does away with sleeves and substitutes for them pointed pieces that give it the effect of a cape. There is a full shawl collar and a belt that slips through slashes at the back and front where it fastens with a buckle. This model has the easy lines of a cape, is graceful and may be worn slipping off the shoulders. When its warmth is needed and it is belted in it sets close to the figure. This season has witnessed the return of long, wide scarfs to favor along with a great variety of other neckpieces. Fur fabric and duvetyn are combined to make the ample scarf pictured above long enough to protect the chest, encircle the throat and fall over the shoulder. The scarf is the most easily adjusted of neckpieces and admits of several ingenious arrangements. The clever hat to match suggests the popular Napoleon shape and is trimmed with an ornament made of ostrich flues that looks like a flat tassel. It has the approved drooping pose at the side. RDY SWEATERS Very heavy yarns are used for them and most of them are knit with caps to match to accompany the sweater, when skating, tobogganing or other winter sports engage their wearers. The sweater coat pictured buttons up the front with bone buttons and is provided with patch pockets and a belt of the knitted material. It has a rolled collar and depends for ornamentation and sung fit upon variations in its knitting. A border at the bottom, bands on the pockets and cuffs are all put in by running the stitches in a horizontal direction. Worn with a heavy woolen skirt and a hat this sweater will serve for practical wear on the street in the morning and for school. The gray sweater of very heavy yarn with sailor collar and cap to match, is meant, for sports wear. Every athletic girl will see its advantages. The new sweaters may be had in a variety of colors.
