LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Negroes A Changed People VOL. XXVI. THE Negro did not run in Chicago nor in Washington, and in my judgment he is not going to run anywhere. And the reason is that he has found himself. He knows now that he is a man. That makes the difference. He knows that he has, under the constitution of the United States, certain rights declared to be inalienable, and that these rights are denied to him. He knows that merely because of the color of his skin he is put at a disadvantage with his fair-skinned brother, and he knows that the discrimination is an indefensible wrong. He knows that no matter what may be his character, his attainments, industry, skill or worth, every avenue of advancement is closed to him because of his color. He knows that because of his color he is debarred from making his livelihood by any except the most menial occupations. He knows that he and his children are branded by that one mark of color and consigned by it to the pit of a caste from which there is no escape, and he feels in his heart and knows in his mind that all this is contrary to elemental justice, to the American tradition and to the law of God. He sees elaborate preparations begun to enforce the eighteenth amendment to the constitution, although that amendment is but a fanatic's dream, and he knows that nobody intends to enforce the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the same constitution, although these embody his sacred rights. He has looked upon all these things until the iron has entered his soul. He will not run away again. He will stand and fight. He has reached that point where a man would as lieve die as continue to live under what he deems intolerable condition of injustice, and when any men reach that state of mind it is but wisdom to heed their protests. It will be said in some quarters that this stalwart state of mind in the Negroes is the result of agitation among them by pestilent troublemakers; that if the Negro had been left alone as he was at the close of the Civil war he would still be servile and submissive; that foolish agitation has put into his head notions of equality and justice. This is puerile nonsense and gross ignorance. The truth is the Negro has been left quite alone. Hardly one white person in a million has ever manifested the slightest interest in his welfare or wrongs. The whole of his marvelous and unexampled progress in the last fifty years he has achieved himself, not only unaided, but in the face of the bitterter prejudice and often an active opposition. Among a people so avoid of education and so indomitably bent upon improving their condition some form of revolt was inevitable. From 1900 to 1910 the Negroes of this country, by their own efforts, reduced the percentage of illiteracy among their people from 49 to 39, and that in the face of the fact that Southern states, where most of the Negroes and most of the illiteracy exist, are frankly organized to prevent Negro education. And it is from this source and none other that the new spirit comes. State Hist. & Nat Hist 500 State House eliable People RAD THE JOURN DENVER, Col. Ro The simple fact is that being freed from slavery the Negro was certain to learn to read; that learning to read he was certain to become aware of the stupid and baseless injustice practiced against him; that becoming aware of this and being a man' he was certain to resent it, and some time or other to turn against the bullies that solely by virtue of superior numbers were torturing him. Well, that time has arrived, and the question I want to put to the professing Christians of my country is what they are going to do, now that it is here? What seems to be proposed in some parts of these free and law-abiding United States is sufficiently shown in a recent incident at Austin, Texas. There is a small and struggling organization called the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. It has no political or social aims, but strives merely to uphold the law and do good. It has a branch in Austin, which became involved in some legal difficulties owing to the fact that, acting on eminent lawyers' advice, it had not secured a state charter. The secretary of the association journeyed from New York to Austin to adjust the difficulty. At Austin the judge of the county court, the sheriff and another man assaulted this secretary on the street, beat and malmed him, and then sent him out of town with a warning. Apparently, the mere name of the association had been sufficient to arouse their anger. When the association called this outrage to the attention of the governor of Texas, he responded in a cynical telegram upholding the assault and the breach of those laws that he had sworn to enforce. If this is the spirit in which we are to approach this grave and overshadowing problem, we may as well understand now in plain terms that the consequences will be appalling and of a nature to cover America before the eyes of the world with an indelible shame. With what effrontery can we continue to urge peace, order and the supremacy of law abroad when at home we trample upon constitution, law and every consideration of justice and civilization to wreak our unreasoning hatred upon our own citizens, whose only offense is a darker complexion than the rest of us have? No people on earth have ever been able to get away with such hypocrisy and none ever will be. The terms of the proposition before us are as square as a die and as plain as day. There are only two possible solutions of the race problem in America. One is to give to the Negro citizen every legal right possessed by the white, every right of franchise, property and legal protection, north and south. The other is to exterminate him; to go forth upon an errand of wholesale murder and kill every man, woman and child of a darker complexion than an established standard.

LANCASTER, Pa., Nov. 5.—The colored population of Lancaster is highly incensed at the action of the county commissioners in refusing them permission to hold the Negro civic congress in the court house. They enjoyed this privilege before, but this year when they made the request they received a curt "No.' The reason for this action, according to several lead- GEORGE W. GROSS, President. J. H. P.

The master is of the men they enlist this test they for final lead ers of the colored population of the city, is the come-back of the Republican organization for having dared to oppose Mayor Trout at the primaries. At that time they declared they had not received fair treatment from the chief executive and announced publicly that they intended to oppose his nomination, which they did at the polls and are now refused the right to hold an open convention on property which they help maintain by the payment of taxes. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources The Frederick Douglas, a steamship of the Black Star line, has been launched.

ST. LOUIS, MO., TO HAVE $100,000 ASSEMBLY HALL. St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 5th.—This city is to have one of the finest assembly halls owned by the race in the entire country, according to the plans of William King, a well-known citizen, who is promoting the affair. It is the plan of Mr. King to erect the hall at Jefferson avenue and Market street at a cost of $100,000 and work is expected to begin soon after the first of the year. $2,500 DAMAGES GIVEN UNDER JIM CROW LAW. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 7.—In the first case ever tried in Arkansas under the state "Jim Crow" law, E. L. Meador, a workman at Camp Pike, was awarded $2,500 damages against the Missouri Pacific railroad today. Meador was badly cut when he tried to eject a Negro from a passenger coach reserved for whites. He contended that the railroad was negligent in allowing the Negro to ride in a coach with white passengers. NEGRO ODD FELLOWS OF LITTLE ROCK, ARK., ABOUT TO PASS INTO RECEIVERSHIP. Little Rock, Ark., Nov. 4th.-Attorney General Arbuckle has filed in Pulaski circuit court a quo warranto proceeding asking the appointment of a receiver for the Grand Lodge of Negro Odd Fellows and the defense has twenty days to answer. This action has followed an investigation of the affairs of the lodge made by Bruce Bullion, the state insurance commissioner. HUNDREDS FLEE ALABAMA AFTER LYNCHINGS. Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 1st.—The weekly reports in the labor market in this city show that hundreds of our people are leaving this town for points north on account of the existing conditions concerning the maintenance of law and order. Following the lynching of three men here within a week's time, a general unrest was created and every attempt to halt the exodus arising therefrom has been without success. Additional to the well-formed idea to desert this city came the information that a committee known as the "Vigilante" has warned three of the most wealthy residents of Montgomery to leave town overnight. The three men left without a second invitation. It is reported last week over fifty men left for Rockford, Ill., where they have been employed by large manufacturing interests. NO.4. Without a sufficient number of well-trained Negro men and women it is impossible for the business enterprises now owned and operated by progressively efficient Negroes, to meet keen competition and at the same time to make substantial advancement. It is easier to get capital than it is to get efficient employés. Wherever a Negro is doing a good standard business, we should patronize him. We should not, however, patronize an enterprise merely because it is owned and operated by a Negro, but the high standard of the business should invite and warrant our patronage. When we patronize Negro business enterprises we not only supply ourselves with the necessaries, the immediate wants in life; but we help to encourage and build up enterprises that are providing lucrative employment of high grade for an immense army of Negro men and women for whom it would be impossible to secure a similar grade of employment elsewhere. Such patronage increases faith in and respect for ourselves, and causes us to believe in the work we are doing.—Southern Workman. A FORWARD MOVEMENT IN DELEWARE. A school-building program of $7,500,000 for a period of five years has been entered upon by the new State Board of Education. Toward this fund Mr. Pierre S. DuPont has given $2,500,000, of which $900,000 goes to Negro schools. This will give virtually a modern and well-equipped school building to every Negro community in Delaware. No such building order has ever been put in by any other state. A significant feature of the present movement in Delaware is the private endowment of public education. Heretofore in America two separate systems of educational support have prevailed; first, schools maintained by individuals and denominations through private endowment; and, secondly, public schools maintained by taxation. These two systems have heretofore stood over against one another as rivals. Now, however, far-sighted citizens are throwing the weight of their wealth and beneficence to reinforce community schools, which are buttressed by taxation and state control. This fact doubly intrenches public education and gives an impetus to community schools that will gather momentum throughout the decades. The membership of the new State Board of Education, as apaointed by Governor Townsend, is composed of the leading business men of the State. In this way business sagacity is yoked up in social service. The impact of the personality of these men on the educational situation in Delaware has been already transforming.—Southern Workman.

Chairman Kenyon announces. Sena- who have not reached England end of five years. Compulsory education and a shorter working day must accompany this, Walsh declared. Senator Kenyon's concern upon discovering that more than 8,500,000 residents of this country are unable to read or write the American language ought to be shared by every thorough American. The senator thinks a moderate proficiency in our language, written and spoken, ought to be required of each newcomer. This is a modest regulation. Surely we cannot be called exacting if we ask our new-found citizens to acquire the fundamentals of daily communication. Real progress in American citizenship ought at least to imply the capacity for understanding the general principles of social intercourse. It is doubtful if we can make real progress otherwise. When they speak their native languages they are coining their native thoughts—resistance to oppression and the demand for freedom. Our task is to encourage them to think American thoughts and coin them in American currency. As soon as the newcomer can think "home" and coin it in American speech he begins to have some conception of all that citizenship here connotes. National Forest Policy for Roosevelt Memorial National Forest Policy for Roosevelt Memorial IF THE people of the United States want to establish a memorial for all time in honor of Theodore Roosevelt, let them link his name with a nationwide movement to establish a national forest policy. This is the message to the "I do not believe the human mind can devise a more suitable memorial to Theodore Roosevelt than a movement which will look to preserving the forests of this country," said Mr. Pack. "Knowing the man, as it was my privilege to know him, I am positive that could the selection of a memorial be left to his choosing he would say 'save the forests.' As president he called the first conference of governors which took up the great questions of conserving our natural resources. He was our greatest exponent of the value of these resources and of the value to the nation of outdoor life. Call your findings the Roosevelt Memorial National Forestry Policy if you like the suggestion and you will have honored the man who did so much in pointing to the value of our forests. In any event you will have done the greatest of services to posterity—you will have saved our greatest natural resource for that posterity." Fire which damaged the headquarters of the American Forestry association in Washington will not seriously delay the activities of the association. The offices have been moved to another part of the Maryland building. The honor roll of memorial tree planting was saved, but some records of the association were lost.

In the early days, centuries and centuries ago, man lived mostly by the chase, as today the last surviving savage tribes still live. The raising of herds, the tilling of the soil, the manufacture of goods, all were unknown. Wild animals, hunted in the forests with stone weapons and pointed sticks, furnished almost the only resource. Their fish gave food, their skins provided clothing. To catch the game, a fleet-footed auxiliary in the chase was necessary; to keep these dangerous animals in a proper state of awe, a courageous defender was needed by man. This auxiliary, this defender, and best of all, this friend, devoted even to death, was the dog; a gift from heaven to help man in his pitiful beginnings. With the aid of the dog, life was rendered less perilous, food more assured. Lelure followed, and from being a hunter man became a herdsman. The herd was formed, at first very indoile and at the slightest lack of watchfulness taking again to the life of old. Its keeping was confided to the dog, which, posted on some rising ground of the pasture, its scent to the wind and ear on the watch, followed the herd with vigilant eye and rushed to bring back the runaways, or to drive off some evil-intentioned beast. Thanks to the dog, the herd gave abundance—milk and its products, flesh for food and warm wool for clothing. Then, relieved from the terrible anxiety concerning daily provisions, man took it into his head to dig in the earth and make it produce grain. Agriculture sprang into being, and with it, little by little, civilization. By the very force of circumstances, therefore, man in all countries is at first a hunter, later he becomes a herdsman and ends by being an agrionnist. The dog is absolutely necessary to him, first for hunting, then for watching and defending the herd. Of all our domestic animals, accordingly, the dog is the earliest on record and the one that has rendered us the greatest service.—Chicago Dally News. Helgoland Resuming. The islanders, forced to migrate to the mainland during the war, have come back to Helgoland, and the smallest nation in the world, as the Helgolanders like to call themselves, is hoping that by another season the island will again be a popular summer resort. The thought that most disturbs them is the possibility that the demolition of the fortifications by the entente commission which is presently to arrive for that purpose may work some injury to the natural beauties of Helgoland. A correspondent who went there to have a last look at the German engineering which will soon be demolished, reports a state of general satisfaction among the islanders, and finds that Prussianism seems to have left no impress on the civil population. The feeling is everywhere that the future looks full of promise, and that the past is well got rid of. Better Stories to Be Told. "Let me write the songs of the nation and I care not who makes the laws," was the idea of a luncheon given recently by T. Tokonami, minister of home affairs, at his official residence to story tellers and singers from the cheaper amusement halls of Tokio. Japan has hundreds of story-telling halls, which vie with the cinemas in attracting throngs unable to attend more expensive entertainments. Tokonami said that the songs and stories of the people have a great influence on the character of the Japanese community, and he urged his guests to give the public only that which will elevate the mind and character, as well as prove interesting and artistic.—From the Japan Society Bulletin. New Zealand's Trade With Japs. Japan's imports into New Zealand are increasing rapidly, and they consist almost entirely of manufactured goods. During the war period large quantities of Japanese goods flooded this market, some of which were of a fairly good quality; but some were very shoddy. The shoddy goods were imported chiefly during 1916 and 1917 since which time the quality of the Japanese manufactures has greatly improved. Refined Robbery. "I don't understand all these day light robberies," said the police officer. "The explanation is easy," replied the criminologist. "Robbers now have their own motor cars. Wealth brings redemption and they do not care to come into contact with the rough element one is likely to meet on the streets at night." Inconsistent. "Bah, sir!" snorted the irritable member of the club. "It's a waste of time to argue with you!" "You're an inconsistent fellow!" said the unhappy vietnam. "What do you mean?" "If you consider it a waste of time to argue with me, why don't you leave go of my coat lapels and let me get on with my business?" "Would you say, 'Thank you,' to a man who gave you a seat in a street car?" "I don't know," answered Miss Cayenne. "Maybe I'd be too surprised to speak."

THE RIGHT OF SOVEREIGNTY—WHERE IS IT VESTED? THE following, taken from the editorial page of a magazine entitled "Liberty," published quarterly at Washington, D. C., shows that every loyal American citizen, who boasts of the provisions offered by the Constitution of this country for the protection of life and property, must resolve that the same must be extended to all persons who have sworn allegiance to this nation and this flag, whether of native birth or naturalized citizenship, and the elamor of 100 PER CENT AMERICANISM must not be merely sentimental, but practical. Says the editor: "There is perhaps no question which has caused more discussion, and even bloodshed, than the question of sovereignty, and where it ought, by right, to be vested. It has been a long struggle, but great progress has been made in the right direction. The sovereignty of the government of the people has been changed from one man as sovereign, to the collective body of the people; and he who was before a subject of the king is now a citizen of the state. A citizen of a democracy is a free man and not a subject, and enjoys an inherent right to partake in the sovereign privileges of the administration of the government. IN A REPUBLIC EACH CITIZEN ENJOYS EQUAL PRIVILEGES WITH EVERY OTHER CITIZEN. This last clause, the very beautiful sounds thereof, though oft repeated, makes us shudder at the mockery of equal rights, when, neither legally nor by way of social, civil rights and many other features, are the dark-skinned bona fide citizens of this country included. With the present unrest that is putting this country to its greatest test; with the unfair judicial trials and punishments that our people are being subjected to, we are puzzled more and more to think of the acceptance of our nation in its propaganda for universal leadership. Human rights and individual liberties are being presented by organizations and various agencies, but in all these there is the class action, the race discrimination—that incentive which creates the feeling of opposition and engenders the spirit of strife that has torn empires asunder, reduced monarchies to the dust and humbled the haughty action of the champion of color and race superiority. We are still believing that the improvement intellectually of the mass, the outspoken and unbiased action of the class against this unfair dealing, will bring about a reformation among the nations that will merit the confidence of others and maintain the integrity that we now boast of. THE COAL STRIKE ENDED—LABOR RETURNS TO SANITY WHEN the labor union heads of the coal miners yielded to the demands of the people through the attorney general of the United States, who gave them until 6 p. m. last Tuesday to call off the strike, and when Judge A. B. Anderson in the Federal court approved the order of the executive board of the United Mine Workers of America, calling off the strike of the bituminous coal miners of the country, the public felt that John L. Lewis, their president, made a wise move, and labor returned to that saneness of action that should characterize it in dealing with employers and employees, reminding itself of the third party—the people, who dominate the action of both parties and who will bring them to their sense of justice when the demand is made. We are not attempting to denounce labor in its united effort to get the most for its work, neither are we venturing to be the judge of the righteousness of their cause in saying who should or should not work, but we think it fair to argue that if a man has the right to work, he has the right to quit, as far as the private individual is concerned, and if employer and employee cannot agree on the remuneration of the occupation, there can be a dissolution of their partnership (for that is really what it is) and other workmen must be sought. We agree with the late great American leader and world legislator, Colonel Roosevelt, when he said "that no one should question the right of capital and labor to unite their respective interests for the benefit of either party, and no one should also compel men to unite, or close the door of work or opportunity to those who did not want to identify themselves with labor unions." This brings us face to face with the fact that labor and capital, while having rights that must be respected and for which concessions are generally made by the people, should never lose sight of THE PUBLIC, who will always remind them in a mandatory form of their obligations, as the charter for operation of capital comes from the people through their government, and the product of labor comes in for consumption by the same public that labor inconveniences in its controversy—"the right to strike." Senator Edge of New Jersey, speaking recently in the Senate, seemed to have struck the keynote for the solution of this wrangling between capital and labor, reminding that in the final analysis they were both servants of the people, said he "desired to emphasize the fact of which labor and capital seem ignorant or intolerant, that labor is not the employee of capital, but of the people at large, of the whole United States, and that the people are the employers of capital also. The people pay capital for the use of its money and its services; they pay labor for its manual work and its time. When labor imposes unwarranted wages on capital, through threats of coercion, it does not wring such wages from capital, but from the ultimate consumer—the people. To such an extreme did capital go that state and national legislation was enacted to restrain it from oppression; especially in these times, it seems to me, the other employee of the people also should be held within reasonable bounds." These views of the senator, we believe, are the views of every thinking citizen, and in welcoming the return of the miners to their jobs we strongly advocate an adjustment between operators and workmen in this particular industrial action, as well as sound the warning note in time that in all public utilities there must be a mutual satisfaction beneficial to both parties, without being detrimental to the interests of the people, who have been heard from in this crisis, and who will from time to time support the arm of the government which they have established for the good of all concerned. Government Ownership and Operation Will Demonstrate Its Infeasibility Government Ownership and Operation Will Demonstrate Its Infeasibility By John W. Weeks, Former United States Senator From Massachusetts The labor question is difficult to adjust fairly to the laborer and to the employer, and no less difficult on the farm than elsewhere. The laborer must remember that in the end he is paying for the excessive cost of his own labor. PETER HENRY The cost of living will be high as long as the cost of production is high, and the cost of production will be high as long as the cost of living is high. They have got to move up and down together. Some classes, like clerks and professional men, do not get the increase in wages to the same degree that the men in the other walks of life do, and it produces hardships and discontent. Then there are men who refuse to work unless they can get the rate of pay they know some one else is getting. When the city resident feels that he is paying an exorbitant price for some food product, he must remember that the farmer has frequently serious losses which must be added to the cost of production or there will be no production. Altogether I find a great number of interesting problems in connection with trying to farm as I am doing it. I have a suspicion that those who have told me that farming along the lines I am pursuing cannot be done profitably may be right, but I am going to give it a good test and learn some things from definite experience which are surmised by most people. If I find that farming under the conditions I am attempting to carry on is a failure from the financial standpoint, is it not reasonable to suppose that even an enterprise of this kind, undertaken on even such a small scale where the labor is not furnished by the employer personally, is a small illustration of the futility of attempting large enterprises under similar conditions as, for example, in matters of government ownership and operation where all labor and all materials used must be purchased? If the individual cannot do this profitably on a small scale, how is it possible for the government to do it, knowing as we do that every step the government takes is a little more expensive than that taken by a corporation or individual? I think that it is dawning upon even those who have been advocating government ownership and operation that it is impossible for it to conduct industrial operations economically. Of course the cost, in many cases, may be passed along to the public, and, in all cases, in the end the public pays for the excessive cost, whether the operation is conducted by the farmer, manufacturer, or the government. But if the cost of government production is greater than in the case of a corporation or individual, why should the public be content or willing to accept the general proposition of government ownership and operation? I am satisfied that, as far as possible, we must get back to the individual who personally conducts his enterprise. The one-man farm will be more popular and more successful than a farm of any other size or character. People must necessarily, with the reduced number of hours which employees work, live more simply, and, perhaps, that result is desirable. What Remains for Aviation, Now That the Atlantic Has Been Crossed? By HENRY WOODHOUSE, Aerial League of America What does there remain to be done by the airplane now that the Atlantic has been crossed? I should say that the magnificent flights of the American and British aviators have just opened the tremendous possibilities for aerial achievements. Here are a few of the things still to be done: Cross the Atlantic by direct flights from the United States to England, France and Italy. Carry one thousand pounds of mail in a nonstop direct flight from the United States to England, thereby demonstrating the utilitarian value of transatlantic air lines. Make a nonstop flight from New York to San Francisco first, then carry a thousand pounds of mail or passengers on subsequent flights. Fly from New York to San Francisco within one day's daylight. Cross the North pole from Cape Columbia to Cape Chelyuskin, as proposed and planned by Capt. Robert A. Bartlett. Fly to Hawaii. Fly to the Philippines. Fly across the Pacific. Complete the aerial conquest of the Atlantic by flying it by each of the following routes: (a) By way of the Azores, then to Madeira, then to either Spain or Africa. (b) From South America to Barbados and across to the Canaries. (c) From Cape Orange to Cape Verde and then to the African coast. (d) From Pernambuco to St. Paul islands, then either to Cape Verde or straight to the African coast. (e) By way of Greenland and Iceland to the Faroe islands and from there to England. Fly to Australia and New Zealand. Fly across Alaska and demonstrate how aerial transportation will help that rich country. Fly from the United States to Brazil and the Argentine and also from the United States to Chile and Peru and other Latin-American countries and show the marvelous possibilities of aerial transportation in South and Central America. Professional Women Get Their Only Pleasure by Associating With Men By Miss Estelle Berline, Physical Expert Our women do not walk. The rich ones won't, and the poor ones are too tired with work. Dancing is the only exercise. It is a passive exercise. I have had success in getting factory girls out on a hike. But they won't hike in the city in hiking clothes. They are afraid they look ridiculous. Most women are afraid that, if they become athletic, they will be unpopular with men; and if they wear exercising clothes, they will look mannish and lose the admiration of men. The trouble with professional women is that most of their pleasure comes from association with men, in dancing and going to the theaters. That makes them vain about their appearance, and then they don't want to wear athletic and easy clothes 3 THE COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

It will be greatly appreciated by all concerned. T. H. VON DICKERSOHN, Manager. COLORED SOLDIERS AND SAILORS CLUB. Twenty-Fourth Avenue and Clarkson Street. That this branch of the War Camp Community Service is very desirable and our men are enjoying its advantages, is a fact being demonstrated as the days succeed each other, and we owe it to our men who have been in service to use every effort to support this cause which will be of extraordinary benefit in keeping the physical mental and social life abreast the timbes. A number of ladies and gentlemen of prominent standing including state and city officials, professionals and other leading citizens, have made it very pleasant in the social turn, and we are hoying this will be an incentive for more of our people to lay hold of the get-acquainted movement so as to carry this on to permanent success. Theodore Von Dickersohn, one of our well informed and educated young men is the secretary and custodian of this branch. His interest in the welfare of his colleagues ever increases and makes him grow with the determination to assist in establishing a prestige of this organization that will not be easily effaced. The Colorado Statesman extends its cooperations over the present success and promises to do all in its power to further the cause of this institution of which there can be none more serviceable to our men. LANCIE S. FORD APPOINTED ON COMMITTEE OF INVESTIGATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR EX-SERVICE MEN BY GOVERNOR SHOUP. Lance S. Ford commander of the Wallace Simpson Post No. 29, and a member of the Colored Soldier and Sailors' Club, received an official appointment from Governor Oliver H. Shoup on the Committee of Investigation as the cause of the laxity of providing employment for ex-service men as was promised by the Federal Government. This is another evidence of the spirit of fair play that characterizes Governor Shoup, as he feels that the Colored soldier and sailor should have their representatives. We congratulate Mr. Ford on this appointment as we know him to be capable and efficient and will give the service needed to correct the issue engaging the attention of the officials.

A. business men's program which was to have been held at Fern hall last Sunday afternoon, had to be coacelled on account of the severe storm which, beginning Friday night, kept up until nearly midnight Sunday night. Accordingly the meeting was held at the Y building, about twenty-five men and boys having come out through the storm. The meeting was a success in every sense of the word. In spite of the storm on the outside, the enthusiasm was high within. Master Underwood Spriggs, a boy member, opened the speaking by expressing the hope that the boys might soon have a Y building. Several new memberships were brought in, Dr. Terry alone reporting four. Every man and boy went away pledged to try for a member to bring to the meeting at Fern hall next Sunday (to-morrow) afternoon. The audience that will witness the program to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon will hear one the like of which they have not heard for a long while—if ever. Graham's mandolin club will be heard there for the first time. Famous soloists and pianists will also be heard. In addition over fifty new members will receive their membership cards, and be given the right hand of fellowship. There will not be a dull moment during the entire hour.

HORNADAY. of Senator Cummins of lowa, chair- man of the committee on interstate commerce, and the house will piss & bill which will bear the name of Rep- resentative, Exch of Wisconsin, chutr- man of the committee on fnterstare and foreign commerce, These bills as they will go to the respective legisla tive branehes will In some respects be {dentical, but there will be substun- thal differences which will have to be ironed out in conference, It seems reasonably certain now that the principal difference will be that the semite biN will contin a pro- vision for the creation of a transpor- tation board which will take over the administrative functions of the Inter: state commerce commission and leave the commission the rate-making pow- ers whieh It now Ins.’ The house bill in its present form does not contain any provision for the creation of a transportation board, and a majority Sof the members of the house coninit- tee on interstate and foreign com: merce have expressed themselves in favar of conferring on the Interstate commerce comission full authority in the matter of the regulation of the railroads ‘The senate bill preseribes a dasinite rule for rate iaking and wakes. pro- vision for the distribution of excess earnings. he bill provides that the Interstate commerce commission shall preseribe rates that will yleld 54% per cent on the aggregate property value of railronds in a given ratetmaking group. To th’s may be added one-half of 1 per cent for unproductive im- provements, Should any road. earn more than 6 ner cent on the value of its property the excess earning would be divided equally hetween the exr- rier earning the money and a contin- gent fund in the transportation board. Both Provide Against Strikes. Poth bills as they will go from, the committees-to congréss for considera- ‘tion will contain provisions designed to prevent the transportation systems from being tied up by a nation-wide strike, The senate committee has voted to insert In its bill @ provision making it unlawfal for railroad em- ployees to strike, ‘Thy house commit: “tee has gone only so fur as to provide ‘for the creation of a tribunal which would have the final word in disputes between the employer and the em ployee. One of the matters still in controversy Iss to whether legisht- tion shall be attempted whieh will to any extent abridge the authority of the states oyer intrastate rates andthe regulation of purely intrastate com: merce. Hoth bills tn their present form contu'n provisions designed to stubll- ize the rate situation during the period: immediately following the sur- render of federal control. ‘Phere ts little gloubt that the final bill will contain a provision. that existing rates: —interstate and intrastate—shall re- main in effect until changed by either the interstate commerce commission or the State commissions. ‘The final bill as pussed will xreatly enlarge the regulatory powers of the xovernment over matters relating to car service, terminals, pooling of firell- itles, ete, If a transportation board Is created those regulatory functions will he vested in It; if the interstate com merce commission remuins as the’ S6té regulatory body, bureaus and sub- divisions will have to be created by It to take care of additional work. It is practically certain that it a transportation bourd is not crested the membership, of the Interstate com- merece commission will be increased from nine. toseleven or thirteen mem- hers. Congress is confronted with @ somewhat widespread demand that the government shall surrender the railroads to their owners at the end of this calendar yeur. ‘he railroad com- missioners of the various states who met in annual conyention in Indian- apolis recently adopted 4 resolution asking that the transfer be made™at the end of the year, and congress .al- ways gives consideration to a resolu- tion with the states behind St in steh’ an expressive way. But there are many obtsacles in the way of dispos- ing of the rallrond legislation between now and January 1. To Extend Vocational Training. Further extension of the educa- tional activities of the federal gov- ernment 1s provided by congressional legislation now nearing the fintsh- ing stages. Just before the United States entered the war congress made provision for vocational education for normal people, in co-operation with the states, Under that legislation large sums are now being spent’ annually for yoentional educational work, the government paying one-half the ex- pense and the state, If it chooses to co-opernie. the other balf.of the ex pense in that partientur state, ‘The war made it necessary to broaden the original yoeational education set, 80 ns to nuke speci provision for the rehabilitation and education of dis abled soldiers, ‘That work Is also be Ing carried on extensively, and the @x- pense of ik is all being borne by the federal government. ‘The new step provides for vocational training for disnbled persons in indus: try, Including agrieulture, trade, com: meree, manufacturing, mining, trans: portation and the mechanteal arts, In this new legislation, as in the original yorational training legislation, the fed: eral government and the states are to co-operate, Of course the federal gov- ernment cannot compel the states 10 co-operate, Tt will be optional with any, state whether ft shall enter into an arrangément with the federal gov- ernment to look out for persons dis: abled in any of the industries enu- merated, In case a state desires to co- operate In the work it will pay half the expense, Many Disabled in Industry. ‘The military records show that there were In round numbers 264,000 casnalties in the United States army during the recent war, ‘The federal bureau of statisties finds that there aire In this country at the present time some 280,000 persons who were dis abled while employed in industry, ‘This number does not Include persons who suffer disabilities from str&et ac- cidents, train aceldents, accidents on farms, In homes and in sundry other places, It is estimated that the total number of disabled persons in this country at any one time is much larger from civil life than from the military casualties In Europe during the receat war, ‘The administration of the new veca- tional act is to be lodged in the exist- ing federal board of vocational educa- tion, ‘The bill as it has passed the house appropriates $500,000 for the fis cal year ending June 80, 1920; $750,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, and $1,000,000 for the fiseal year ending June 30, 1922, ‘The legislation contemplates an annual appropriation of $1,000,000 after June 30, 1928, There is a provision which authorizes the fed eral vocational board to receive gifts and donations from either public or private sources, ‘This provision was put fn because some wealthy persons had expressed a desire to contribute to a fund for rehabilitation work of this character ‘The senute last June passed a bill somewhat similar to the bill which has just passed the house and It Is rea- sonable to assuifie that since both branches of the legislative body have expressed themselves in favor of this new kind of vocational legislation, 1 will not be difficult to reconcile the conflicting provisions of the two bills. Final Action on Treaty Near. Ratification of the treaty of peace with Germany by the United States senate seems to be near at hand, ‘The recent test votes in the sen- ate have indicated clearly that body's desire to embody what It deems appropriate reservations in the reso- lution of ratification, It may take sev- erg) weeks to bring about an agree- ment on the number of reservations and their phraseology, but It seems to be settled a well as anything can be settled in advance of formal action that the treaty will be ratified witn reservations. Many of the senators are expressing a desire that the final vote shall be reached not Inter than November 10. It will be the poliey of the senate so to frame the reservation» as not to re- quire the return of the treaty to the peace conference. It will be necessary for the government of the United States, acting through its state de- partment, to submit the reservations to the various signatories to the treaty for their approval. It Is very zeneral- ly believed that, since the reserva- tions will in no sense change the lan- guage of the treaty, the other signa- tories will agree to them. Of course the senate may choose to debate the proposed reservations for several weeks, but every effort is be- ing made by the more influential of the senators to obtain a gentleman's agreement to the effect that debate shall be limited, ‘The senate asa whole, for the first time since the treaty was submitted to it on the tenth of last July is showing a keen interest, to finish with it. ‘This is due in pirt, sen- ators say, to the fact that the senate Itself has tired of the subject. and in part to a somewhat widespread de- mand from out over the country that the treaty be disposed of.

Rettig MEATS, FANCY AND STAPLE GROCERIES 1864 CURTIS STREET Corner Nineteenth Denver, Colo. THE WOODEN WORKING Where Vinegar in Quantity Is to Be Made, Use a Cider Mill. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) "mother" which has fallen to the tom is no longer producing Vinegar is one of the condiments which every good cook regards as a necessity on her pantry shelves. Used with discretion, food to which it is added will be transformed into a relish and will give zest to an otherwise insipid meal. Along with other groceries, vinegar has gone up in price since the great war, until in many parts of the country 50 to 60 cents a gallon is now the retail market price. The making of vinegar at home is a simple process and not many years ago was practiced by nearly every one who could obtain the necessary fruit juice. With the present high price of vinegar there has been a revival of this old household art. Those who have set up a vinegar keg or barrel, secure a superior product and at the same time beat old High Cost of Living. Fruits for Making Vinegar. Vinegar is usually made from apples, although grapes and oranges are also used to some extent. Certain other fruits, such as blackberries, figs, peaches, watermelons (after concentration of juice), sorghum and cane sirup have been used with good results. Many wild fruits, such as the blackberry, elderberry, and persimmon, when frequently are not completely or properly utilized, will make excellent vinegar. As a matter of fact, any wholesome fruit or vegetable juice can be used for vinegar making, provided it contains sufficient sugar. Some fruits, such as the guava or Kieffer pear, contain only five to eight per cent of sugar, which is not sufficient to make a strong, satisfactory vinegar. Fruit used for making vinegar should be sound and fully ripe, for ripe fruit contains more sugar and consequently produces a stronger vinegar. Partially decayed fruit is no better for vinegar making than for eating and should not be used. Select sound, ripe fruit, wash thoroughly, and remove all decayed portions. Crush either in a machine made for this purpose, such as a cider mill, or for small quantities, a food chopper. Squeeze out the juice in a press and put into a clean barrel, keg or crock for fermentation. Great care should be taken to have all the utensils thoroughly cleaned, and to handle the fruit in a cleanly manner. If old kegs or barrels, especially old vinegar barrels, are used, they should be cleansed thoroughly and all traces of the old vinegar removed. If this is not done the old vinegar will interfere with the alcoholic fermentation and possibly spoil the product. Start Fermentation. After the juice has been squeezed out add a fresh yeast cake to every five gallons of juice. A good fermentation often results from chance inoculation with the wild yeast of the air. This is the method ordinarily followed in making cider vinegar. Experiments have shown, however, that a much stronger vinegar can be made by using yeast to start the fermentation. Work the yeast up thoroughly in about one-half cupful of the juice and add to the expressed juice, stirring thoroughly. Cover with a cloth to keep insects from it and allow to ferment. The best temperature for fermentation is between 80 and 90 degrees. Do not put in a cold cellar or the fermentation will be too slow. At 80 to 90 degrees alcoholic fermentation will usually be complete in from three to four days to a week, or when "working" starts, as indicated by the cessation of bubbling. The next step in the process is acetic acid fermentation, during which the alcohol is changed into acetic acid. After the bubbling stops it will be found advantageous to add some good strong vinegar in the proportion of one gallon of vinegar to three or four gallons of fermented juice. Usually, however, no vinegar is added and the inoculation of the fermented juice with acetic acid bacteria is left to chance. This chance inoculation generally produces a more or less satisfactory product, but if the vinegar is added, the results are much better. Instead of vinegar one may add a good quantity of so-called "mother." If "mother" is used, however, use only that growing in the surface of the vinegar. Vinegar "mother" which has fallen to the bottom is no longer producing acetic acid. Keep in Dark Place. After adding the vinegar, cover with a cloth and keep in a dark place between 70 and 90 degrees. Do no disturb the film and that forms, for this is the true "mother" and do not exclude the air. Taste the juice every week, and when it ceases to increase in acid or is as sour as desired, siphon off and store in kegs or bottles. Fill full and stopper tight. If this is not done the acid will gradually disappear and the vinegar will "turn to water." The same bacteria that produces the acid will also destroy it if allowed to grow unhindered. If the directions are followed, especially as regards temperature, the process will usually be completed in six weeks to two months, where only a few gallons of juice are used. Many fruit juices are turbid after fermentation, while others, particularly apple vinegar, may clarify themselves spontaneously. One of the simplest ways of filtration to use in the home manufacture of vinegar is to thoroughly mix about a teaspoonful of fuller's earth or animal charcoal with a quart of vinegar and filter through filter paper. It is a common practice with many people to make household vinegar from fruit parings and cores, cold tea, and even from the water in which potatoes or other vegetables are boiled. Sugar, of course, is added, just as in the case of fruit juices that do not contain sufficient sugar. DETERMINE AGE OF CHICKEN Good Method Is to Grasp End of Breast Bone Between Thumb and Finger and Bend It. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A good method of determining the age of dressed fowls, according to specialists of the United States department of agriculture, is to grasp the end of the breast bone farthest from the head between the thumb and finger and attempt to bend it to one side. In a very young bird, such as a broiler chicken or a green goose, it will bend easily like the cartilage of the human ear. In a bird a year or so old, it will be brittle and, in an old bird, tough and hard to bend or break. Unscrupulous dealers sometimes break one end of the breast bone before showing the bird on the market, in order that the buyer will believe the bird to be a young one. RECIPE FOR COTTAGE CHEESE Housewives Becoming Familiar With Value of Excellent Substitute for Meat (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Both city and country housewives have become familiar with the value of cottage cheese as a meat substitute. If your family is tired of your old recipes, in which the cheese is an ingredient, why not try some new, approved ones? "Cottage Chagse and Its Uses," Office of the Secretary, Circular 109, issued by the department of agriculture, will be sent to anyone who writes for it. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS All meals possible should be served on the porch or under a tree. Plan the housework so it can be done in the cool of the morning. Keeping the baby cool and quiet is one preventive of digestive troubles. Canned cherries and strawberries are quite as good for ple as the fresh fruit. A garment may be much improved if worn buttonholes are worked over neatly. THE KITCHEN CABINET If instead of a gem, or even a flower, we could cast the gift of a lovely thought in the heart of a friend, that would be acting as the angels gave: George MacDonald. THINGS WORTH REMEMBERING. When going upstairs place the whole foot on the stair and keep the body erect; this manner of climbing stairs will not strain any muscle unduly. A dish mop used for washing dishes is a great saving on the hands as the water may be used much hotter and the process is finished quicker. When raisins and prunes stick to the paper which wraps them, hold them a moment near the steam of a tes-kettle. A baby, no matter how young, should be given frequent drinks of sterilized water. A bottle is the best way to give it until the child is old enough to drink from a cup. Orange juice for babies, given between meals, is a most wholesome and refreshing drink. A harmless laxative which will be a pleasure to the children to take is the following: Grind through a meat grinder one pound each of figs, dates, raisins and softened prunes, with five cents worth of senna leaves. Mix and knead well, form into a loaf and wrap in waxed paper; keep in a cool place. For a child a piece the size of a peanut is sufficient; adults may take a larger piece. This will keep for weeks, is entirely harmless and much less expensive than many drugs sold for the purpose. Add preserved citron to the mincemeat; it adds greatly to the flavor of this time-honored pie filling; the citron melon which is home prepared, not that used for cake. Citron melon, if grated before preserving, may be used for many dalty dishes or garnishes for ices, giving a delicate flavor well liked and adding to the variety of good things as well. One may boil a pudding in a double boiler instead of in the old-time pudding bag. Line the upper part of the boiler with oiled paper, turn in the pudding and it will come out in good form. When it is necessary to clean upholstered furniture indoors, cover with a dampened cloth and bent; the dust clings to the cloth. Coffee custard is prepared by steeping two tablespoonfuls of ground coffee in two cupfuls of milk; then strain, add the eggs and sugar and cook as usual. There is only one way to get ready for importality, and that is to love him and live it as bravely and faithfully and faithfully as we can—Henry Van Dyke. A young tender rabbit is a delicious dish when properly cooked and served. Wash and wipe the meat carefully; cut in serving-sized pieces; brown in a little fat, then add water and two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, cooking slowly until tender. Thicken the gravy and serve as one does fricasseeed chicken. If an older rabbit is to be cooked, it should be parboiled in water with a tablespoonful or two of vinegar until tender, then brown as above. Roast Wild Duck.—Clean and truss the duck; sprinkle well with salt and pepper and cover the breast with thin strips of salt pork. Place on a rack in a dripping pan or roaster; add a little water to the pan; place in a hot oven and cook for half an hour. Baste at least five times during the roasting. Serve with currant jelly. An onion or two may be put into the cavity of the bird, or a bunch of celery, removing before serving. These flavors add much to the flavor of a wild duck. Most epicures agree that the highly-seasoned stuffings overpower the delicate flavor of the bird. For those who still cling to the method of stuffing, the following will be enjoyed: Raisin Stuffing.—Soak one quart of bread crumbs in cold water and squeeze dry; add two well-beaten eggs, one tenspoonful of salt, two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley, one cupful of chopped raisins and one-half cupful of chopped celery. Roast Venison.—Rub the roast all over with the cut side of a lemon; lard it with strips of fat salt pork, and roast 15 minutes to the pound, basting occasionally; cook until tender but rare. Serve with spiced grape jelly. If one cares to improve the flavor, add a small chopped onion and carrot to the roasting pan. Rabbit With Vegetables.—Place a thick layer of onions in a casserole, then a layer of rabbit cut in serving-sized pieces, a slifting of flour and seasoning and another layer of onions, and rabbit until all is used. Cover and cook in a moderate oven. As no moisture (except that in the mixture), is added, care must be taken to keep it from scorching. Serve with mashed potatoes. A Olive Tree GAME IN SEASON.

Milk, the food best suited to children, makes the best of foundation for food best suited to chit the best of foundation for wholesome desserts, good for the young, wholesome for those of weakened digestion. MARIE MICHELLE A smooth, nice custard may be made using two eggs and a pint of milk. If one wishes to have the custard thick enough to mold, three to four eggs should be added. The more egg the more nutriment, so it is a dish to be recommended when eggs are at all reasonable in price. Baked Custard.—Beat four eggs slightly, add a half cupful of sugar and a quart of fresh milk. Cook over water in the oven, sprinkling in a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg or any flavor desired. A pinch of salt should also be added to all milk dishes. Do not allow the water to boll at any time during the baking or the custard will whey. Any egg and milk combination should always be cooked at a low temperature. To test the custard to know when it is done dip a knife into the center; if it comes out clean the custard is ready to be taken from the oven and hot water. If the cups are allowed to stand outside the oven in the water they will often overlook. Ginger Custard.—Line buttered custard cups with pieces of canton ginger, then pour in a thick custard, using four eggs to a pint of milk, a third of a cup of sugar, a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt and two teaspoonfuls of vanilla. Beat the eggs slightly, add sugar, salt, milk and flavoring and strain into the mould or moulds. Set in hot water and bake until firm. Serve with a spoonful of canton ginger sirup poured over each serving. Caramel Custard.—Melt in a smooth omelet pan one-half cupful of sugar, add gradually four cupfuls of scalding hot milk and stir until the caramel is dissolved. Beat five eggs, add half a teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of vanilla and strain into a mould rinsed in cold water. Bake as usual. Serve with a caramel sauce. No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle, pure and good without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness. - Phillips Brooks. SOUR MILK AND CREAM DISHES. Cooked food made from sour milk or sour cream has a flavor and texture which is especially good. Cakes made with cream or sour milk keep better and improve in flavor. Baking Waffles.—Mix and sift one cupful of flour, a half teaspoonful of salt and one and one-half teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat one egg, add one cupful of sour milk, then the flour mixture; beat well; add a teaspoonful of soda dissolved in half a tablespoonful of water, and when well mixed add a tablespoonful of butter; beat again and cook on a hot waffle iron. Serve hot with maple syrup. Sour Milk Biscuit.—Mix and sift together one quart of flour, one teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful each of salt and sugar; cut in two tablespoonfuls of shortening and moisten with one and one-half cupfuls of sour milk. Roll out and bake in a hot oven. Serve with honey or maple syrup. Boston Brown Bread.—Mix thoroughly one cupful each of whole wheat flour, cornmeal, and graham flour. Mix two cupfuls of sour milk and one-half cupful of molasses and a teaspoonful of salt with one teaspoonful of soda. Stir in the dry ingredients, beating thoroughly. Turn into well-buttered baking powder cans and steam two hours. Remove the covers and dry out in the oven for 15 minutes. Raisins and nuts may be added if desired. Cut in nent slices, using a string. Spoon Bread.—Take one pint of course white cornmeal, half a teaspoonful of salt, and enough boiling water to make a smooth paste. Add one egg, one cupful of sour milk or buttermilk, and a half teaspoonful of soda. Bent until smooth; pour into a hot, well-buttered baking dish and then bake quickly. Sour Cream Cookies.—Cream half a cupful of shortening with one and one-half cupfuls of sugar; add two beaten eggs, half a cupful of sour cream, one teaspoonful of soda and flour to roll; flavor with nutmeg and chill before rolling.

STURDY AND SENSIBLE SCHOOL DRESS THE FASHION OF THE YEAR Blouses Increase in Importance THE FASHION OF THE TIME Dressing the girl in her early teens for school ought to be a simple matter, easily disposed of—and it is with mothers who are gifted with good judgment coupled with the courage of their convictions. But the young person from thirteen to seventeen or eighteen is apt to be self-conscious and self-centered; she is not always willing to defer to the judgment of older heads than hers, and here is where difficulties confront the mothers. Schools that require a uniform make things easy; there is no room for comparisons where all are dressed alike, and dress does not distract the attention of the young people from their work. There is another advantage in the uniform. It teaches the young girls that it is not so much what they wear as how they wear it, that counts; a lesson that will be valuable in after years when the matter of apparel becomes important to them. But where no uniform is required, it falls to the lot of mothers to teach their daughters to suit clothes to occupation and occasion, and to value neatness above everything else. Sturdy materials and fast colors are required for school clothes. They Blouses Increas An excursion through the shops in search of new blouses is as intriguing as an expedition after wild flowers. Where there is so much variety and beauty to be found there is an equal amount of zest in making selections. The autumn brought variety in styles, in materials, in methods of decorating the new blouses and, for several reasons, their place in the wardrobe is increased in importance. One of these reasons is the "high cost of dressing." The suit blouse is not confined to tailored styles nowadays, but undertakes to fit a suit for many occasions. In the company of a handsome separate skirt, lovely blouses are able to face any occasion with assurance. The overblouse and the smok style are the important new features in the season's showings. In the overblouse, two materials or two colors of one material are used to make the blouse—as crepe georgette over chiffon, or net or satin. In the smok style the blouse has a peplum and a girdle, as shown in the figure at the right of the picture above. This particular model embodies several details of the mode in the flaring sleeves, the shape of the neck opening, the silk cord and tassels forming the girdle, and the management of the embroidered decoration. It is made of georgette crepe and embroidered with silk must be well made and is fashioned—so much the better. The school dress for a young girl, shown above, will look well in either wool or cotton goods. It has a plaid skirt and plain mildy blouse, with plaid belt and neck binding. It is as good a model for school wear as one could ask; of a character that is guaranteed not to take the young ladies' minds off the intricacies of "square root," "decimals" or any of the "logarithms." "Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic" occupy the school hours of the smaller girl and play absorbs the balance of her waking hours. She rejoices in middles or one-piece frocks that do not interfere with her freedom. A dress for her school days, shown in the picture, is made of dark colored wool cloth, with a collar and inset in the cuffs of lighter colored wool, or some strong color contrast, as red with dark blue or dark gray. It is made with a straight panel at the front. The simplest sort of pattern is applied with narrow braid at the top and bottom of the panel. Two narrow belts of the same material as the dress slip through cloth slides and are fastened with buckles at the front. e in Importance tloss. In place of silk cord and tassels, short girdles of gold or silver brocaded ribbon add their brilliance to some of the models and gold or silver threads are introduced into silk embroidery, maintaining the season's devotion to rich, metallic decorations on about everything we wear. Another item to be noted is the inconspicuousness of fastenings; they are not apparent and leave us guessing as to how blouses are got into. High-necked blouses are not as plentiful as others, but they are good style and favored by matrops, to whom they prove more becoming than round or "V"-shaped neck openings. A georgette blouse with high neck and long sleeves, at the left of the two models pictured, is carefully designed to prove becoming. It has shoulder yokes to which the body is gathered back and front, and a narrow plain vestee with groups of little buttons set at each side of it. Silk embroidery is responsible for a touch of rich-looking decoration, to which scintillating beads are often added in blouses for dressy wear. --- "All's Well That Ends Well" By LILIAN HALL CROWLEY (Copyright, 1919, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) "Come, girls," called Mrs. Stevens from the next room; "we shall be late for the train." "In a minute." "May has to put in another hairpin!" answered two joy- ous young voices. The girls then hurried in to join their waiting chaperon. A taxi was waiting at the entrance to the hotel, into which they piled and were furiously driven to the station where they were to take the train. They had finished a three-days' sight- seeing visit in the national capital, and were on their way to Annapolis to attend the January hop at the Naval academy. May Withers, who was engaged to Midshipman Roy Bloomer, had persuaded Jean Stevens and her mother to go with her. Both girls were attending college, and this was holiday time. May intended finishing her college course the following June, and Roy would graduate the same month. Then they were to be married. "You'll like Roy's chum, Philip Carson, Jean. Roy says he's a shark for study—like yourself—bones up on literature and writes verse. You two ought to get on splendidly. I'll let him know that you're the high-brow of our class." "I wanted to meet him because he is Roy's friend, but now I want to meet him for himself," said Jean. "I don't see how he and Roy became roommates, because old Roy never reads a book unless he has to. We're alike, there." When they arrived at the station in Annapolis, Mrs. Stevens called a rickety old carriage that had two listless horses and a fat darky driver. They cuddled along Maryland avenue until they came to their hotel, a large white building in the center of the town. For dinner they had some of the famous Maryland soft-shelled crabs, and then went into the parlor to wait for the "boys." Presently May was introducing Roy Bloomer and his friend, Philip Carson. This was the ladies' first visit to Annapolis. They soon exhausted all the small talk, and wise Mrs. Stevens suggested a walk. She would write letters while awaiting them. She was repaid for her thoughtfulness with the joy she saw in the faces of the lovers. Later when they all came in Roy and May were blissfully happy. No one could mistake the fact that they were genuinely in love. Philip looked politely bored, while Jean seemed bewildered and wretched. "Oh, Jean, I made a mistake about chil being a student of literature. He's an athlete and never reads. I have confused his name with that of another fellow Roy wrote me about." "Well," exclaimed Jean, "that's why we didn't hit it off. I broached every subject I thought he would like—not that I cared myself, for I would rather have talked about this quaint old town. "What must he think of me?" "What did you say to him?" "I started out on the technic of the short story of today in comparison with the long-drawn-out stories of Richardson, the father of the English novel." "Henvens!" exclaimed May, while Mrs. Stevens repressed a smile. "He didn't know what you were talking about. I'm sorry for my sake, Jean. What else did you say?" "When he didn't respond, I thought: 'He doesn't care to be serious tonight,' so I told him a joke, and he didn't even smile." "What Joke did you tell him?" "That extremely funny one about the New York publisher, who, on his first visit to England, asked Herbert Spencer to give him the sole right to the 'Faerie Queene.'" "How could he laugh at that? There's nothing funny about it, is there?" "Perhaps not," Jean answered wearly. "Never mind, dear," said her mother; "it often happens that two admirable persons cannot be congenial. Remember, there is the dance tomorrow night." "Phil Carson has missed a lot!" exclaimed May, "because you're the dearest and sweetest thing that ever lived. Present company not excepted." Next evening the two midshipmen were at the door of the gymnasium, where the balls are held, when the girls arrived with Mrs. Stevens. Their programs had been filled by their escorts before, as was the custom. Roy said: "Phil and I are sorry about Billy Westerman. We wanted you to know him, but he's so popular that all his dances were taken before we knew you were coming." "Who is he?" asked May. "He's the fellow I wrote you about—the shark of the class—writes verse." "He's the one I meant," May whispered to Jean. Jean and her gallant, having started badly, could not get adjusted; especially after Jean, to show her interest in the best baseball pitcher in the academy, asked: "Why do some of the players wear gray suits and the rest blue?" The look on his face decided her that no subject was safe, so she became lelly polite; he caught the infection, and so the evening passed. Many times Roy tried to corral Billy, but did not succeed. However, as Phil had seen that Jean's program was full, she enjoyed all the dances except the six with him At last the beautiful ball was over and Mrs. Stevens gathered her charges into the carriage. "There is one thing I regret, Jean," said May, when they were again in Mrs. Stevens' room; "I wish you had met Billy instead of Phil—although Phil is in love." "Never mind, dears," said Mrs. Stevens, "we all had a delightful time. Remember, we take the early train." Next morning the same old rickety carriage was waiting to take them to the station. May was late, as usual, and Mrs. Stevens was hurrying them along. Each carried a heavy suitcase. The darky piled the bags on the seat beside him. They climbed in. When he closed the door the glass broke in a thousand pieces. He only grinned. "Hurry!" exclaimed Mrs. Stevens. "We must get our train." There had been sleet the night before and the street was very slippery. The crazy vehicle slid from side to side, while its occupants were convulsed with laughter. They enjoyed the primitive way of living. Then bang went something, and the girls, with showers of broken glass, were precipitated on poor Mrs. Stevens. When they could separate themselves they saw the horses running down the street, with the darky pulling on the reins. The three suitcases were sliding after them. The tongue of the carriage had gone with the horses. The shock of the fall had jammed the lock tight and they were unable to open the door. They could hear the whistle of the train. They must take it. May called to a man in uniform who was hurrying down the street. He looked at them and laughed. Then went to their assistance. Jean recognized him as Billy Westerman of the night before. Mrs. Stevens explained their predicament. The young man could not unfasten the lock so he kicked it in with his foot. Each woman grabbed a bag and ran for the train, the young knight helping first one and then another, but helping Jean the most. He asked her: "Didn't I see you at the hop last night?" Gaspingly, she answered: "Yes, I saw you, too." By this time they were a half-block from the station and could see the conductor with his hand on the bell-robe ready to pull it. Billy gave a shrill whistle. The man hesitated and saw the frantic and exhausted women running, their faces contorted with merriment. Even Billy was panting. "Thanks," they mumbled to the conductor. The women climbed on and stood immovable on the platform while the porter threw the bags on their feet. Billy jumped after them. Frantic shouts arrested their attention. They saw their driver running after the train. "Pay you tomorrow," shrieked Billy. The darky's face broke into a satisfied grin. "I must extricate you again." Billy removed the luggage from six tired feet and found seats for their owners. "Permit me to introduce myself," he smiled, and handed his card to Mrs. Stevens. She read, "Midshipman William Westerman, Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland." Mrs. Stevens presented him to May and Jean. "Oh," said May, "then you know Roy Bloomer. I have heard all about you." They laughed and chatted on the way to Washington. Billy learned that they were all going again for the hop in February. "May I claim my dances now?" he asked. "I won't trespass too much on Roy's preserves," said he, as he took three dances from May; the same from Mrs. Stevens, and while the others were looking at the scenery he claimed eight from Jean. Cincinnatus quitted his plow at the summons of a Roman senate to lead the armies of the republic to battle. Cato labored daily on his farm. Regulus asked permission of the Roman senate for leave of absence that he might put his little farm in order. Virgil had charge of his father's farm. Pliny, the Roman author, says: "Four hundred stalks of wheat, all grown from one seed, were sent to the Emperor Augustus, and at another time 340 from one seed were sent to the Emperor Nero from Byzantium in Africa." Columella, a Roman writer on agricultural topics, prescribes this curious treatment for working oxen: "After oxen get through plowing and come home heated and tired, they must have a little wine poured down their throats, and after being fed a little led out to drink; and if they will not drink, the boy must whistle to make them." Denmark's Flag. The flag of Denmark, a plain red banner, bearing on it a white cross, is the oldest flag now in existence. For more than 500 years both Norway and Sweden were united with Denmark under this flag. In the year 1212 King Waldemar of Denmark, when leading his troops to battle against the Livonians, saw, or thought he saw, a bright light in the form of a cross in the sky. He held this appearance to be a promise of divine aid, and pressed forward to victory. From this time he had the cross placed on the flag of his country and called it the Dannebrog—that is the strength of Denmark.—Indianapolis News. MOTOR CAR MOUNTAIN LO NO. 39, I. B.
