LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Interchurch World Movement to Hold "Christian Extension University" in Colorado With Three Day Conference at Denver, December 1,2 and 3 VOL. XXVI. Interchurch Wor to Hold "Chri University" in Three Day O Denver, Dece DENVER, Nov. 20th.—Denver has been selected as the meeting place for the State Training Confer- ence of the Interchurch World Move- ment for Colorado. The Denver con- ference will be held December 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. Announcement of this was made today by Harry A. Shuder, field secretary of the Interchurch World Movement for Colorado, with headquarters here. Two hundred and fifty church leaders, delegates from every county and representing practically every denomination in the state are expected to attend. The object of the meeting is to bring together leaders of every county to confer with reference to plans in this state for promoting church cooperation and for taking part in the nationwide campaign planned by the Interchurch World Movement. Addresses will be delivered by a team of six leaders of national reputation on various phases of the Interchurch program. The conference has been described in advance as a "school of Christian leadership" but in point of fact the leaders of the meeting declare that they expect to get as much instruction, particularly on state plans and conditions, as they impart. Hence the rule of the conference will be fifteen-minute addresses, followed by forty-five minute discussions. The members of the State Committee in charge of the State Conference are: Bishop F. J. McConnell, Dr. H. B. Hummel, Dr. F. B. Palmer, Dr. C. W. Dean, Dr. W. J Minchen, Bishop I. P. Johnson, Mr. A. F. Sittloh, Mr. J. H. Causey, Mr. G. R Edmundson, Mr H. A. Shuder. The meeting here is one of a series of such conferences to be held in every state in the Union by December 20th By that time it is estimated that 10,000 religious leaders throughout the country will have become thoroughly conversant with the aims and plans of this movement for Protestant co-operation and will be able to speak authoritatively upon it in every county of the United States. The object of the movement is to provide an organization through which the various Protestant churches of the North American continent—for a similar movement has been started in Canada—can co-operate to their mutual advantage always looking to the ultimate ideal of the Christianiaztion of the world. As a first step the Interchurch Movement is engaged on a number of careful surveys of religious, social and economic conditions throughout the world, county by county and city by city in the United States and country by country abroad. By these means the facts of the situation and the actual religious needs of the world will be revealed. The result of the surveys will be collated and budgeted in terms of men and money. The participating denominations will then be asked to determine by mutual agreement their individual share of responsibility for world evangelization, and a united appeal will be made by the churches, each to its own constituency, for the resources in men and money that are required. --- State Hist. & Nat Hist Boo State House the Only Reliable COLOR World Movement Christian Extension in Colorado With Conference at member 1, 2 and 3 Denominations which have already made a recent financial appeal will share in the other aspects of the Interchurch Movement and will have at their disposal its machinery for coordinating their expenditure so as to eliminate waste and duplication. The surveys have already shown what an enormous economy of time, money and human service might be achieved through a proper co-ordination of their efforts by the various churches. All the participating denominations will join in the spiritual program of the Movement. The present series of state conferences are to be followed by sectional and local conferences through which the spiritual message of the Interchurch Movement will be carried to towns, villages and individual churches. The Interchurch Movement, which was started in December last year, is now endorsed by more than seventy denominational boards and agencies. It has also received the official endorsement of the judicatories or highest legislative bodies of at least ten denominations. By the spring, which will see the culmination of the Interchurch campaign for co-operative Protestatism, it is confidently expected that the vast majority of the 25,000,000 Protestant church members in the country will be officially represented in the movement—a body of public opinion which must exercise a powerful influence in any moral issue that may arise.

The telegram reads: "November 14, 1919. "Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Washington, D.C.: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the name of 12,000,000 Negroes of the United States, respectfully urges the danger to America and its ideals of the conditions prevailing in Phillips County, Arkansas. "Eleven Negroes have been sentenced to electrocution in Phillips County, six of them having been convicted in seven minutes, according to press reports, by a jury of which no colored man was a member. Fifty-four Negroes have, according to the press, been sentenced to terms of from one to twenty-one years in state prison. No word has come of proceedings against white men, although upwards of twenty-five Negroes were killed in the disturbances. "A representative of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People visited the Department of Justice in Washington on Saturday, November 1, and placed in the hands of Mr. G. F. Ruch of that department information giving grounds for belief: "1-That not only had no 'massacre of whites' been planned by Negroes of Phillips County, but 2-That the Negroes in Phillips and adjacent counties have been mercilessly exploited under a system virtually of peonage, and 3-That the Negroes had organized not to 'massacre whites' but to obtain legal redress by peaceful and lawful means. "If our information is correct, legalized wholesale murder is being committed in Phillips County. May we, through you, request an immediate federal investigation? "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON." Colored Staff for the United States Public Health Service Colored Staff for the United States Public Health Service The United States Public Health Service, in cooperation with the state boards of health, is promoting a nation-wide campaign to educate all the people of the country on the dangers of the venereal diseases and the necessity for proper sex education; and to more effectually reach the colored population, a staff of colored workers has been appointed to secure the cooperation of colored individuals, institutions, organizations and publications. The campaign includes medical, educational, law-enforcement and social service activities. Two physicians, members of the staff, will be continuously in the field, and an assistant educational director and a secretary will be on duty at the bureau. The success of the campaign depends upon the interest and help of every citizen and organized group, and the bureau is asking the citizens in every community to assist in this important work. The Chamberlain-Kahn bill passed by Congress in July, 1918, created the Interdepartmental Social Hygiene Board and established in the bureau of the Public Health Service the division of venereal diseases. This legis- --- lation was enacted to meet the national need for venereal disease control and proper sex education. The earlier efforts for venereal disease control were the immediate response to the demand for war measures to conserve the health necessary to efficient man power. But the results of the examination of the men gave the important information that the venereal disease danger was in largest measure a problem of the communities from which the men came, everywhere in the United States. Fivesixths of the men in the camps who had these diseases were infected before entering military service. Special efforts will be made to secure proper treatment for infected persons and to make it known that the venereal diseases are dangerous, and, if neglected, or not treated well enough and long enough to be cured, will do even greater harm in later life. And, in order that the lack of proper knowledge of sex matters as a cause of these diseases may be removed, special lectures will be given and literature for boys and young men, girls and young women, parents, educators and the general public will be supplied through the State Boards of Health and the U. S. Public Health Service. HEALTH SUNDAY HEALTH SUNDAY Denver (Special)—By proclamation of Governor Shoup, November 30th will be observed throughout the state as "Health Sunday." Ministers of every denomination who realize that the health of the people is the greatest asset of the state, will urge upon their congregations the need of public health work in Colorado. The program of the Colorado Public Health Association, which is asking for $150,000 for anti-tuberculosis work in 1920, will be outlined and support for the campaign asked. People will be told the startling facts that tuberculosis is claiming 150,000 lives annually, 12,000 of these being little children. "Whereas tuberculosis is a menace to the entire world although it has been definitely established by scientific research that it both preventable and curable," reads the proclamation; "Whereas the systematic fight against this insidious disease led by the National Tuberculosis Association with which the Colorado Public Health Association and 1,000 other public health organizations are affiliated, has resulted in a reduction in the death rate from tuberculosis of 30 per cent in the last twelve years; and "Whereas, as a direct result of the war, tuberculosis is increasing throughout the world and the need of public health work was never greater; and "Whereas the activities of the Colorado Public Health Association are financed by the sale of Red Cross Christmas seals which must produce the funds for a state-wide program of general health work for 1920 on a greater scale than ever before; "Therefore, I, Oliver H. Shoup, governor of the state of Colorado, do hereby declare and proclaim Sunday, November 30th, as Public Health Sunday, and do earnestly request the ministers and Sunday School superintendents of the churches of our state to urge upon their congregations and the children of their Sunday Schools the importance of this great public health work, and furthermore I call upon all people of this great commonwealth to support this work which means so much to all and to buy Red Cross Christmas seals and urge others to do the same, and to support the Colorado Public Health Association in every way possible in its great task." RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources VOCATIONAL TRAINING NEEDED FOR NEGROES. Detroit, Mich.—"Negroes are learning to do more and more things well, Vocational training for them, therefore, must be more varied and more thorough than it has been," declared Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, before the National Urban League. In 1896 Negroes were conducting 2,100 business enterprises. Today they are conducting 500,000. In 1896 the accumulated wealth of American Negroes was $20,000,000. Today it is $1,110,000,000. In emphasizing vocational training I am not forgetting or belittling the importance of cultural training. BUILDS HOUSES FOR NEGROES. Washington, D. C., Nov. 14th. Sixteen new homes, built especially for colored purchasers by Harry Kite, were put on the market this week by the Ernest Hall Coolidge Company. All of the houses are in the 700 block of Kenyon street. They are of colonial design and modern in every way, containing six rooms and bath. The builder of these homes has felt for some time that the colored populations of Washington should be afforded a chance to acquire on easy terms a house in a better neighborhood than heretofore offered. FUND TO LIFT MORTGAGES. Chicago, Nov. 14th.—A fund to help Chicago Negroes life mortgages threatening their homes is being established by Oscar DePriest, former alderman of the second ward, according to an announcement he made in addressing a meeting of the People's Movement, 3140 Indiana avenue. Further uses of the fund are to obtain fire insurance for homes of people of the race not already protected. Resolutions "deploring the plans and procedure of the Hyde Park Association," were drawn. No rights or privileges granted to colored citizens under the laws of the nation will be sacrificed, and power of segregation will be given no one, according to further clauses of the resolution. COLORED MEN TO LAUNCH $500, 000 TRUST CO. Washington, D. C., Nov. 12th.—Fresh from New York city, where he spent a week or ten days in conference with capitalists who control millions, Heman E. Perry, president of the Standard Life Insurance Company, of Atlanta, Ga., stopped over in Washington this week en route South, and announced the formal launching of a campaign to put over a financial venture of tremendous importance to the colored people, to be known as the Citizens' Trust Company. This is the only financial corporation favorably passed upon by the Capital Issues Committee of the Sixth Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, Ga., and also by the Capital Issues Committee of the United States Treasury Department at Washington, D. C. The new financial institution is to be under national and state supervision. The institution is to have a capital of $250,000, and a surplus of an equal amount, $250,000. Aside from a regular banking and trust business, special emphasis will be given to assisting colored people in purchasing and NO.5. building homes, and in securing farm properties on long time payments and at low rates of interest. The development of colored business concerns and industrial corporations will receive attention. The new concerns will be national in scope, with branch offices in many important centers. Mr. Perry explained his plans in full detail to the officers of one of the largest trust companies in New York and is to be guided in the formation and operation of the Citizen's Trust Company by these trained experts. He has been assured substantial encouragement in the carrying out of his plans. First Congress of Industrial Girls Germantown, Pa.—At the first conference of industrial girls, held recently at Greenfields, the summer camp of the Germantown Association, under the auspices of the Young Women's Christian Association, the delegates protested against the accusation that they underbid the white girls, insisting that when they accept a lower wage scale it is through ignorance of the wage received by white girls. The conference declared the great need during the present industrial crisis is equal pay for equal work and equal opportunity to enter industry for all girls regardless of color. The most urgent problem throughout the discussion was the matter of equality of industrial opportunity. Colored girls are not admitted to factories or business positions, and high school graduates with stenographic training are forced to take domestic positions because nothing else is open to them, it was charged. It was also stated that colored girls working on the same work as white girls in a shirt factory receive one cent a dozen less for the same work in many factories and that only the lower grade of work is open to them. There was present at this important conference twenty-four delegates and thirteen volunteer helpers and local and national secretaries. The delegates represented the seven clubs of colored industrial girls in the East Central Field, four in Philadelphia, two in Baltimore and one in German-town, comprising a club membership of over five-hundred. They are drawn from nine occupations, including a group of shirtwaist makers, four in domestic service and others employed as waitresses, hoisery mill operators, embroidery and clothing factories operators, laimdresses, dentists' assistants and teachers. The conference was opened with a discussion led by Miss Eva D. Bowles of the Young Women's Christian Association and all the things girls like to do in clubs were brought up for consideration. Plans for mixed parties for social service work, membership and finance and education were threshed out by the delegates. The findings committee, composed of Miss Leonora Mitchell, chairman; Misses Wilhelmina Ware, Louise Russell, Endora East, Hattie Thomas and Rose Watson, among other things, recommended that the clubs advocate trade unions for girls and social legislation in order to get a living wage as a minimum, equal pay for equal work without race or sex discrimination and forty-eight hours a week with Saturday as half holiday. The creation of a religious atmosphere in all club activities, the inauguration of an active campaign for new members and the putting into effect a recreational program were some of the other recommendations made. While the conference took action only on the industrial standard mentioned in Recommendation 2, the discussion brought out the difficulties confronting married women in industry. In discussing domestic service as an occupation it was decided that the objection to it lay in the long hours and the irregularity and indefiniteness of the work. FOREIGN A military pilot named Liebert has broken the speed record for attitude, reaching a height of 5,000 meters in eleven minutes in Italy.

So acute has the shortage of household coal in France become that wealthy Parisians who can afford it have ordered such fuel shipped to them from America as they would table delicacies. In the cargo of the Slamese Prince, which sailed for Havre, was twelve barrels of coal consigned to an individual in Paris. The lumps of anthracite were as carefully barreled as sugar. Six billion francs is the sum representing the loss suffered by Switzerland as a result of the war, according to an estimate of M. Sarasin, president of the Swiss Bankers' Union of Berne. Of this 2,400,000,000 francs are accounted for by depreciation of German securities and 1,500,000,000 francs by depreciation of Austro-Hungarian securities held by Swiss citizens. The losses suffered by the hotel world are put down as amounting to 400,000,000 francs.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. If plans being considered now materialize, Durango will soon have another highway outlet to the east, besides the Wolf Creek pass route, which ordinarily is blocked by snow before Nov. 1 of each year. Conjew county good roads men, backed by an opinion from State Field Engineer J. B. Cheney, contend the Osier route, which would place Antonito and La Jara on an international highway, has decided advantages. The alignment and grade in the long and gradual approach to the continental divide from the Antonito side, and the easy descent to the Los Pinos with water grade from there to a junction point with the present road is preferable in the matter of exposure to the sun, thus insuring a longer open season for motorists. The general demand for authentic information about the resources and industries of Colorado, which has been growing in all sections of the country in the past few years, is being extended into the public schools.

Rinker-at Denver, that he broke into a jewelry store at S. Serling, Colo., and stole $3,500 worth of jewelry. In the case of the state versus Arthur Lyman Wright at Del Norte, Colo., charged with involuntary manslaughter when he ran his automobile into a wagon, killing one boy and injuring others, in September, a verdict of guilty was returned by the jury. The defendant's council was granted fifteen days in which to ask for a new trial. Pending the action of the court he gave bonds of $2,500. Karl C. Schuyler of Denver is trying to give away a fifty and two twenty-five dollar prizes. He has offered $100 for the three best editorors which are printed in any Colorado publication before December 15th on the need and opportunity of public health work in Colorado. Inquiries should be addressed to the Colorado Public Health Association, contest editor. New Yorkers afflicted with tuberculosis, who imagine that mere residence in Denver or any other point in Colorado will effect a cure, are warned by the health department of New York that unless such a victim has enough money to live on for two years in rest and quiet the trip and sojourn in Denver will practically sign his death warrant. "File your statement now; you may die and the facts die with you," is the admonition directed by State Engineer A. J. McCune in notices being issued to holders of water rights or claims who must file supplemental statements in his offices before January 1st, next under act of the last Legislature. This is the first and last notice the state engineer will issue.

Typical Englishman of Serious Mind Wants Friendship of United States Typical Englishman of Serious Mind Wants Friendship of United States By Lynn Harold Hough, President of Northwestern University sibility of producing food for something like 13,000,000. The rest of the food must, in the long run, come from exchange for English products which other countries desire. And a wrong balance of trade in this situation is a serious matter. Some men with a dash of adventure in their estimate of the situation take the view that the dangers are overestimated and that England will quickly recuperate. It is probable that a matter about which little has been said will influence the actual outcome. England has had a long and successful experience in international banking, and before even resourceful Americans learn the psychological trick of it Britain will probably be competing with America on more even terms. And this is to the advantage of America. No business man able to look into the future would want to break down England's fundamental economic strength, even if such a thing were possible. Physical and Mental Condition of Our Soldiers Was the Deciding Factor In general proposition is all that General Sherman nothing else in this world it has a better side. And recent world-wide conflict was the general boom in which it was responsible and which in the years of America and the nations allied with her, will it be physically and mentally to carry on with the war before. No question that the physical and mental conditions was the deciding factor in the war and that throw into the balance the fighting power which the Huns reeling back and ultimately brought neat. And the reason that the Americans, many armed troops, were able to make such a splendid their athletic bringing up—their physical fitness, likely and to act individually in emergencies. And required on the ball lots, the gridiron and others and brawn were put to the test. Before we went "over there" we realized when regularly baseball, had done for the youth of the U. appreciate fully that it supplied most of our fight which enabled them to do those things which military machine to gasp in amazement from the army heads and the directors of Y.

War as a general proposition is all that General Sherman said it was, but like everything else in this world it has a better side. And the brighter side in the recent world-wide conflict was the general boom in all forms of athletics for which it was responsible and which in the years to come, particularly in America and the nations allied with her, will insure a manhood more fit physically and mentally to carry on with the world's work than ever before. There is no question that the physical and mental condition of the American troops was the deciding factor in the war and that our boys were able to throw into the balance the fighting power which broke the deadlock, sent the Huns reeling back and ultimately brought about their complete defeat. And the reason that the Americans, many of them but hastily trained troops, were able to make such a splendid showing was because of their athletic bringing up—their physical fitness, their ability to think quickly and to act individually in emergencies. And these qualities they acquired on the ball lots, the gridiron and other fields where brain, muscle and brawn were put to the test. In a way, before we went "over there" we realized what American sports, particularly baseball, had done for the youth of the United States. Today we appreciate fully that it supplied most of our fighters with the physical asset which enabled them to do those things which caused the German military machine to gasp in amazement from the outset. The American army heads and the directors of Y. M. C. A. and other agencies which operated for the welfare of the men in the camps here and abroad thoroughly appreciated the value of outdoor games, boxing and general athletic stunts, and from the moment the men began their military training athletics was made a part of the regular routine. More Foreign Trade, More Home-Owned Ships, Better-Run Home Industry More Foreign Trade, More Home-Owned Ships, Better-Run Home Industry By A. L. FERGUSON, U. S. Chamber of Commerce is clamoring for America's aid in her rehabilitat are satisfied we cannot look for lower prices inumber—are now going after foreign trade in earn special merchant marine committee to see to it Europe is clamoring for America's aid in her rehabilitation, and until her demands are satisfied we cannot look for lower prices in this country. We—the chamber—are now going after foreign trade in earnest. We have appointed a special merchant marine committee to see to it that German liners are run to Davy Jones' locker and that the Stars and Stripes wave from the masts of the world's merchant marine—likewise we are concerning ourselves in the readjustment of public utilities—the street car, the electric light situation and the railroads. We are going to entertain the representatives of England, Belgium, France and Italy here, and foreign trade questions will be thrashed out with them. We want to see an American fleet on every side. Why, the Pacific today is merely a Japanese lake! And as for the Atlantic, look at the George Washington, the Martha Washington, the President Grant, the President Lincoln, all German ships, so German that you've got to have an interpreter to get a stateroom. That is the situation that the national chamber of commerce is out to rectify—we want more foreign trade, more home-owned ships, better-run home industries. There must be a feeling of brotherhood between America and Great Britain; among all the allies. Commercial leaders of England must come here and our big business men must go there. In that way an understanding will be reached that will mean much for both nations. Peace has brought its great problems of readjustment, and the situation must be met by the nations for the good of the nations. Representative Martin Dies of Texas—I wish the farmers of this country and the taxpayers of our land might have a return of the old Democratic and Republican theory that government is not created to support the people, but that it is a creature to be supported by the people. We are leading them to believe that the government can support them and lift them by their boot straps out of their financial difficulties when, as honest men, we should say to them that all that the government can do is to protect their life and their liberty and tax them to support the government. PETER H. BURKE The typical Englishman of serious and informed mind believes very profoundly in Anglo-American friendship. Many men, such as Mr. Fisher, the president of the English board of education, have ready to express their belief that it is the hope of the world. There is widespread anxiety about the economic situation. With a great debt to America and the balance of trade the wrong way, many Englishmen are very grave as they speak of the outcome. In England, with a population of more than 40,000,000, there is the pos- BYLIEUT. COL. T. L. HUSTON Thanksgiving By EDGAR A. GUEST For courage that we sorely need, For strength to do the splendid deed, For youth, who made the sacrifice And, smiling, paid the bitter price That freedom asks of sturdy men, Oh God, accept our thanks again. To thee once more today we kneel; Sad music of the crash of steel Accompanies our prayers, and yet Thy mercies everywhere are met, And we are grateful for the youth That boldly dared to guard the truth. Oh God, who gave us sight to see The way to serve, we pray to thee; We thank thee for all mothers fair Who gave their sons into thy care And bravely hid their grief and pain That liberty and truth should reign. We thank thee for each noble heart That scorned to play the coward part; We thank thee for their bitter times is glad To toll until their flags are furled To make a kindlier, better world. For yield of tree and fruit and vine Once more our gratitude is thine; But in these days of dangers, we Now offer prayers of thanks to thee For all the brave and loyal breasts Wherein the love of honor rests. Oh God, we thank thee for our youth That still hold dear the ways of truth; We thank thee for their courage, and Devotion to our native land; We're thankful for our still gleams The emblem of man's highest dreams. —From The American Boy. NOT COMPLETE WITHOUT PIE Time Was When No Thanksgiving Dinner Was Worthy of the Name in Its Absence. Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie was held to be unthinkable. Yet there could be no pumpkin pie without molasses; because Colchester, Connecticut, did not receive its supply of molasses in season, it voted, in 1705, to put off its Thanksgiving from the first to the second Thursday of November! Pumpkin pies thus featured were usually baked in square tins, having only four corner pieces to each pie. Second only to the pumpkin pie in importance at such a Thanksgiving feast as Whittier sings was the turkey which had been fattened for the A occasion and which, when slowly roasting before the open fire and painstakingly basted from the dripping pan beneath, was fit to be the lord of any feast. Chicken there was, too, though always in the form of chicken pie, and vegetables of every sort, with raisins and citron, walnuts and popcorn, apples and cider galore. Surely few could have really wished joys such as these to be sacrificed to a second service in the meeting house! Golden Promise of the Future. We are thankful for the assurance that out of all the tumult and madness of the past years the world of mankind is to find a life richer, truer, grander, than any it has heretofore known, a life of truer freedom, of sweeter tolerance and of a broader goodwill and brotherhood. And we are thankful for the thought, amounting almost to a settled conviction, that as a consequence of the great awakening which has come to it with all its blood and tears and suffering, the world will from now on have forever done with every form of organized hypocrisy and oppression, will love the truth and nothing but the truth, and will deal justly, and love mercy. Worldly Spirit Too Much With Us. It must be admitted that our country has been an egotistical nation, because of our great material expansion and prosperity, and that the true spirit of Thanksgiving day has not been felt by a very large proportion of the people during the past few years. The intent of the pioneers who established it has been lost sight of largely. It has been regarded too much simply as a day to be observed by the church people, while the crowd took advantage of the holiday to indulge worldly pleasures.—Houston Post.

The fact that one has been hypnotized is proof that he can hold his mind on one subject. It is, therefore, not to his discredit, but rather the contrary. Daily Thought.

THANKSGIVING DAY—ARE WE ENJOYING THE BLESSINGS OF PEACE? FOR a period extending over thirty years it has been our opportunity to say a word in commemoration of this day and event—one which is dear to All American hearts, and which is cherished with an affection that makes its celebration equal to a legacy handed down from generation to generation in this country of ours. As the years come and go, new features present themselves, reminding us that the individual, the collective body of people should be thankful for the civilization which has dawned upon them, and which the nations of the world unite in adopting as a guidance for the stability of government of the people, by the people. There should not be a dissenting voice, for as is plainly demonstrated on Armistice Day, when in one common melting pot, heart meets heart in recounting the years of suffering, and then expressing gladness over the termination of war. So ought we to join hand and heart in one common brotherhood, celebrating this great day, without our discrimination and void of our petty prejudices. That the evidences of the past have not shown a desire for fraternity with the American of color, is a well established fact when it comes to a real test, but because we are firm believers in the principles of our Constitution and the good resulting from them when rightfully dispensed, we are thankful for the hope that some day sooner or later the good offices of an internal or external agency may insure for this class of Americans such recognition as to make them share equally the rights and liberties of citizenship practically, thereby enabling them to heartily participate in every act of joy and gratitude, in the celebration of national festivities. ARE WE ENJOYING THE BLESSINGS OF PEACE? It is not apparent. Some writers say that the world's calamity has ceased to give way to a greater issue. Domestic troubles in the respective nations, and when we take a view of Russia, Italy, Britain and our own fireside, we cannot help from saying there is everything but peace in our land today, and the blessings seem to be farther than nearer. The great unrest between labor and capital; the wave of crime, including the lynching and burning of our people in a democracy that invites the world to accept its humanlike and sympathetic program which it offers, cannot make for an enjoyment of the blessings of peace, and passing as we are, through another gloomy period of our country's life, we can only on this Thanksgiving Day offer our prayers to the Great Power for immediate action which will result in quick relief from what threatens to be worse than the horrors of war that we have so recently gone through. THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS COVENANT DEFEATED BY UNITED STATES SENATE. THE League of Nations Covenant was defeated in the Senate last Wednesday evening by a vote of 53 to 37. After months of debate, with resolutions for ratification of the treaty with reservations safeguarding America's interests being rejected, the final answer to President Wilson's World Covenant was given, and a resolution declaring the end of the war with Germany referred to the Foreign Relations Committee, the same to be considered when Congress begins its next session. If this is passed by Congress it will not require the signature of the President, Congress assuming exclusive right to declare peace as well as war. This long and bitter fight, first, to unite the nations of the world so as to submit all disagreements to this universal tribunal before a declaration of war, which according to some members of the Congress would in part result in completely ignoring the preservation of American rights, and, secondly, the support to be given by this nation to every country that would call on her for support in time of warlike stress, is ended, and the only course left open to President Wilson is to resubmit the question at the December session. Whether this league would have been of great benefit to the people of the United States in the manner the instrument was drawn up, or whether in accepting it many of our national rights would be lost to us, we can only respect the decision of the people's representatives and watch carefully the results. While this question rejecting the rights of the larker races of the world, was put on the shelf when Japan at the peace table clamored for equal rights in every phase of human affairs, as they relate to citizenship and other advantages conducive to the progress of nations, yet we ask ourselves when giving this whole matter our entire consideration, whether it would be beneficial as a whole to adopt this league as the means by which a bond of unity in which all the world could enter and remembering the common fraternity of mankind, play a part that would blot out forever the hate, the scorn, the cruel prejudice that some of the peoples of the world are continuously undergoing. Who knows but this may be the "handwriting on the wall," and as soon as the hearts of men are purged from their opposition to one another, a new beginning will dawn on the world, and all nations resolve upon an action beneficial to all. LET NOTHING MAR REJOICING Surely This Year All Should Keep Thanksgiving With Heart Full of Praise and Gratitude. Now once again both you and I are going to keep Thanksgiving. And shall we be dis couraged by the lofty cost of living? And shall we sparely dine and sup, still Hooveresquely slaving — and shall we pass the Turkey up because we're used to saving? CHEESE I think I hear you answer "Nay!" And I for one, won't do it; I shall eat loose. Thanksgiving day, and eagerly go to it! I shall not fuss with low-priced meat, with tripe or stringy mutton—I'm going to hop right in and eat until I bust a button. With jellies made of grape and quince, no substitute to this 'em; and pies of good, old-fashioned mince—with meat and brandy in 'em. And if I want a suckling pig to supplement the gobbler, I'll have it—don't care a fig! And also sherry cobler! For never in the memory of anybody living have people seen, it seems to me, so wondrous a Thanksgiving. The Hun is licked, the world is free the cruel war is ended—how can our celebration be one feature short of splendid? Ah no, we do not need to waste the goodly gifts of heaven—but why de- prive the food of taste, the wheaten bread of leaven? We needn't feed the garbage can nor choke the refuse hopper; but let us treat the inner man, and do the job up proper! A woman is preparing a meal on a table. Let's emulate the Pilgrim Dads, by whom it was invented; although they did not roll in scads, their conscience was contented. Their crops were short, the country new, 'twas hard to make a living; November's tempests fiercely blew—and yet they kept Thanksgiving. Upon that day they didn't think an epicure a sinner—they gathered all their meat and drink and had one glorious dinner. The Pilgrims, they were godly men, the times were most religious; they thought it sinless, even then, to found a feast prodigious. Let us rejoice, as then they did, in sweet and hard-earned freedom—let's hall each woman, man and kid and take 'em in and feed em!!—Ted Robinson in Cleveland Plain Dealer. The Glorious Gobbler With gilded garlands fair, Or it may be an heirloom prized Of old blue willow ware. Salute the glorious gobbler; (Though sometimes it's a hen That dawns in appetizing brown Upon our famished ken). TURKEY He wears his festal dressing Contrariwise, within. Receiving all his subjects true In nothing but his skin. Here's to the glorious gobbler! Though far afield they roam, Yet in his honor every year The children gather home.

Time to Think Only of Blessings. Let us take the right kind of interest in Thanksgiving day—a day that is and always shall be very dear to the hearts of all women. Let us put avarice and envy out of our minds and think only of, and be grateful for, our blessings.—New York Evening Telegram. INDIANAPOLIS HAS FINEST WALKER BEAUTY PARLOR. Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 14th.—The Mme C. J. Walker Mfg. Company, carrying out the plans of its late founder, Mme. C. J. Walker, formerly opened last week in this city one of the most elaborately equipped beauty parlors in the country. A very large number of people were in attendance. Flowers and souvenirs of perfume were given to all those present. The parlor has five specially designed private booths, manicuring tables, display cases, and the very latest equipment used in up to date beauty culture. Mrs. Helen Swanson of this city is in charge, being assisted by five expert operators of the Walker system. The parlor was designed by Mrs. Lula H. Alexander, who has had 17 years' experience in beauty parlor work, and has been secured by the Mme. Walker company to supervise the establishment of special parlors in every city of this country. The Indianapolis parlor is a reproduction of the design and color scheme carried out in the Leila College of New York city, after which pattern all Mme. Walker beauty parlors will be designed. BOULDER NOTES BY TY COBB. The Allen Chapel Literary Society met Friday night and many interesting papers were read. The Townsend sisters, Miss Ethel and Marie's duet, was very pleasing. Miss Dorsey Craven's reading from Dunbar was well received. The donkey party given Tuesday night by Rev. and Mrs. Henderson was a grand success. Miss Ella Mance won the prize. Many of our citizens made a special trip to Denver Monday night to hear Col. R. C. Simmons' lecture but were very much disappointed on learning that he failed to appear. The Star Cleaning and Pressing Co. has made its appearance in the city with Buckhalter and Smith, Props. We wish them much success. Mr. and Mrs. A. L. and C. L.

SCOTT. That this book should commend itself to every member of his race that has pride in the achievements of the men who went forward to die for their country's cause, as well as the women who contributed largely to victory, goes without saying, and, having the exclusive agency in Denver for this valuable work, we desire to inform the public that we have a supply on hand at our office, 1824 Curtis street, Room 25, in the morocco binding, at the very moderate cost of $3.75 each, or cloth binding at $2.90. Already many orders have been filled, and persons who are anxious to get hold of this authentic war history by Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to Secretary of War Baker, can avail themselves now of this opportunity, which will not last long, as there's a great demand. The matter, the pictorial effects and the Great Peace Treaty forming the appendix, make this historical compilation of the service of our race in the late world struggle the best that can be published, and Denver's homes cannot help from having this added attraction in the literary uplift of the present and future generations.

Justice Henry Bray who recently returned from Oklahoma where he spent his vacation, looks very much improved physically and reports that the members of the colored population are improving wonderfully from an all-round standpoint. Miss Willa Buckner of Eaton, Colo., Mrs. A. Tichener of Greeley and Sherman Keene of Eaton, were visitors in the city this week and were pleasant callers at our office Tuesday. Ty Cobb, our Boulder correspondent with C. W. Buckhalter one of the propriators of the Star Cleaning & Pressing Co., of Boulder, were in the city Monday and were pleasant callers at our office. Mrs. James F. Clark received the sad news this week of the death of her mother, Mrs. Louise J. Butler of Springfield, Ohio, who died Nov. 15th. Mrs. Clark has the sympathy of her many friends. George Smith has purchased a new Hudsan Super Six and is learning to operate it very skillful; his first trip however was somewhat difficult. George drove out in the rural districts and when he decided to return to town he found that the road was too narrow in which to turn his car as he had not learned the art of backing up and maneuvering his car in a narrow path, therefore he was compelled to drive several miles before finding a place wide enough.

The community at large is doing all they can for the men and it is hoped that they will appreciate all that is being done for them. Several interesting and pleasant parties were held at the club during the last week. As there are several men who are working late at night and have not been to any of the things that the War Camp Community Service has given for their benefit there was a stag supper held for eight of the men Sunday morning at 2 a. m., and all had a grand time and declared that the War Camp Community Service had the returned soldier at heart and were doing all they can to make the men happy. Sunday afternoon the community at large entertained the men in the persons of Mrs. Froman, R. Sloan, and Mr. Mallard they gave the men a very good treat and all were more than pleased with the way they had been treated. There are only two more Sundays left before the first of the year for the public to entertain the men. Who will take one of the days? The Wallace Simpson Post No. 29, A. L., is having their meetings at this club and they are having very good meetings and we are very desirous of having all the ex-service men present at these meetings and learn something that will be of some help to them in the near future. Shorter's Chapel will entertain the men Sunday, Nov. 23, 1919. Let all the ex-service men and service men attend the club this day. There will be something out of the ordinary in store for them. THEODORE H. VON DICKERSOHN, Manager. COL. ROSCOE CONKLIN SIMMONS DID NOT APPEAR LAST MONDAY WHEN upwards of 4,000 persons assembled in the theatrical portion of the city Auditorium to hear the famous national lecturer, Col. Simons, and were informed that he would not be present, quite a disappointment was felt by the large and representative audience who had worker up an enthusiasm over the coming of this speaker of national reputation. The N. A. A. C. P. under whose auspices he was to appear received definite information from his manager, Mr. Bass, editor of the California Eagle," that the lecturer would be here, but possibly owing to some uncontrollable or unavoidable causes, the people of Denver have lost a great treat. Disappointments are always with us, but in some cases people suffer more, especially when anxiety reaches the point where anything short of gratifying the expectation will almost result in the unforgiving sol-However we trust either Col. Simons or his manager will offer the public of Denver the explanation necessary to ward off any future obstructions and trust that sooner or later we will be favored with the gentleman's presence and hear his lecture on the Amelioration of Conditions Among the Races. If at first we don't succeed, they try, try again. SHORTERS' NOTES. "Lost Power' will be the subject of Rev. Thomas' sermon Sunday morning and in the evening, "Silence of Jesus." The rally in the interest of Ward Mission scheduled for last Sabbath, was deferred until Sunday afternoon. A full attendance of Shorters' members is expected. Dinner Thanksgiving day will be served by the Sewing Circle. The pastor and congregation will attend the union service to be held at the Zion Baptist Church. The second Sunday in December, every member will be given an opportunity to do his best in the financial effort to add to the sinking fund for a new Shorters and to clear up all floating indebtedness. The cantata—"Saviour and King" will be sung at the five o'clock service Christmas morning. The following names were recorded as members: Sisters: Ruth Harris, St. Louis, Mo.; Ruth Alexander, Omaha, Neb.; Lillian Green, Pueblo; Minnie Miller, Chapeldon, Colo.; Nellie Jenkins, Denver. Brothers: Leroy Young, Sagman, Mich., and Carson, Bolse, Idaho. Visitors present: Frances White, Kansas City, Mo.; Leroy Young, Saginaw, Mich.; Annie Carter, Coffeyville, Kansas; W. Brooks, E. Stone and W. L. Washington, Chicago, Illinois. MICHAELSON'S ANNUAL THANKS GIVING OFFERING. The public can never forget Michaelson's annual offering at Thanksgiving, when a large, nice, fat turkey is always given to each purchaser of a suit of clothes. This action towards patrons of this firm has become a habit, and it is looked forward to with clocklive regularity. Just walk in, purchase your suit and the head of the firm will insure your Thanksgiving dinner by presenting you their annual treat. A STATEMENT. The officers of the Denver Branch, N.A.A.C. P. deem it important that a statement of its position relative to the humiliating affair of Monday night when Roscoe Conklin Simmons failed to put in his appearance. For weeks our committee worked zealously to make this event a success, spending a large sum in advertising, postage and other ways. The entire community caught the spirit of enthusiasm thus imparted and when the doors opened Monday night fully three thousand people entered the Auditorium. Having a written contract with Mr. J. B. Bass, who came to Denver as advance agent for Mr. Simmons, no thought of disappointment even crossed our minds. Indeed, through repeated correspondence with Mr. Bass we were told to believe as late as 2 p. m. Monday that Simmons would surely be on hand. We are firm in the opinion that common decency if nothing else should have prompted Simmons to wire us a word of explanation. But with apparent disregard for his word, the N. A. A. C. P. and the thousands of people who purchased tickets to hear him, not a message of any character has yet been received. We are very sorry for this unfortunate affair but feel that no blame can attach to us. We entered upon it in perfect good faith. By order Executive Committee. GEORGE W. GROSS, President. DR. J. H. P. WESTBROOK, Secretary. N. B.—All tickets will be taken up and money refunded upon application to Dr. Westbrook, 25 Good Block. Y.M.C.A. More than two hundred people crowded into Fern hall last Sunday afternoon to witness the program rendered by the Y. M. C. A. It was the largest number that has attended the program since the meetings have been held there, and was representative in every respect. It was made all the more representative by the large number of ladies who helped make up the audience. After brief devotional exercises the program was truned over to LeRoy Perkins, chairman of the program committee. Secretary Arnold of the boys' department of the Central Y. M. C. A., was present and make very appropriate remarks. Also did George C. King of the committee of management. The mandolin club, led by William Graham, made its first public appearance, and actually covered itself with glory. The club rendered several numbers, and the audience never tired of hearing them. Miss Hermione L. Jones, with her usual pleasant manner, rendered very effectively Cadman's "At Dawning." Mrs. Rhoda Anderson Chambers was greeted with great applause when she rose to go to the piano to render Rubinstein's, "Lebal" in a flat. The applause was renewed at the close of her rendition. The absence of Miss Alice Norton on account of illness, and of Miss Fay Shivers, was much regretted. After the program was over membership cards were issued to a large number of men and boys who had joined the association during the past ten days. The big membership drive is now at its height, with five weeks more to run. Three teams instead of one, will be in the field next week. They expect to secure a hundred members. Thanksgiving services, with a special Thanksgiving program, will be rendered at the meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. A feature of the program will be the rendering of selections of his own poetic compositions by Prof. C. M. Biggers of Biggers Business College. The program will begin at four o'clock. Both men and women will be admitted. DEATHS AND FUNERALS OF THE CAMMEL UNDERSTAKING CO. Goodall,—Mr. Andrew S. Goodall departed this life Thursday, Nov. 13th at his home in Dearfield, Colo.

Guarantees Positions to Graduates BUYERS OF LAMB AND MUTTON WHO KNOW HOW TO JUDGE GRADES AVOID FLABBY MEAT fim Bax iN és PAS a Above, Lamb Saddles; Below, Lamp Packs—Varying Amounts of Fats (Prepared by the United States Depart. ment of Agriculture.) Lamb can be one of the most de- licious varieties of meat or It can be ‘one of the most distasteful, according to its quality and the way it is pre- pured before and during, cooking. Plenty of people, who formerly bad classed Iamb among the foods they dis- liked, have Jearned to like it when it was prepared properly. ‘The strong mutton flavor so objectionable to many is located principally in the thin mem- Dranous skin and euter fat of a cut of lamb or mutton. A sharp knife will take it off easily. Hpicures declare that a good leg of lamb with this skin and the superfluous fat removed, rubbed with butter and roasted, can- not be excelled in the meat line for delicacy of flavor. How to Know Good Lamb. If the consumer wants to know the grade of lamb he is buying, there are a few cardinal points to observe, the bureau of markets, department of ag- riculture, points out. Keeping them in mind will lessen the chances of disap. pointment over the quality of the cut when it is served. ‘The points by which the several grades of lamb may be determined af- ter the carcass has been divided into cuts are not so pronounced as in beef. ‘The grade must largely be determined by the thickness and compactness of the meat and by the color of the lean meat. The “choice” grade represents the highest quality of meat offered. The HAIR RIBBONS MADE TO APPEAR LiKE NEW One of Suggestions Made in Re- cent Thrift Leaflet Spread on Hard Surface and Go Over It With Brush or Sponge Dipped in Lukewarm Water and Little Mild Soap. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Ribbons cost two or three times what they formerly aia, and the life of Alice's hair ribbon seems very short these days to her thrifty mother. No matter how iresh and dainty the dress of a little girl, if It Is topped with a solled and wrinkled hair ribbon her whole appearance is spoiled. In a se- ries of thrift leaflets issued Jointly by the United States department of ag- riculture an the United States treas- ury, one of the directions which will leave the fabric looking like new is given for cleaning ribbons. Spread the ribbon flat on a smooth, hard surface, such as a table top or x marble slab. With a sponge or a soft brush go over it with lukewarm water In which a little mild soap has been dissolved. With hair ribbons, If the portion which comes in contact with the hair Is greasy and the stains difficult to remove, dip the brush in a little ammonia water and rub that portion of the ribbon. Rinse the ribbon by. holding it stretched between the hands and passing it through a bow! of clear, lukewarm water. Do not wring or crease, but dry by spreading it out sttaight and: flat on & Smooth, hard surface. Particular care shorld be taken with the edges of the ribbon in order to make them us straight as when new. Draw the hand gently over the ribbon to press out air bubbles which may have formed under it, and which will make it ap- pear “blistered” when dry. WAY OF FRESHENING VELVET Crushed Nap May Be Raised by Care- ful Steaming—Dust May Be Removed by Brushing. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Velvets get defaced by having the pile or nap crushed. It can often be raised again by careful steaming. Lay ‘a wet cloth over the back of the velvet, lift the two together and pass them over an inverted hot iron, holding the wet cloth next the iron; or hold the velvet stretched over the steam from i vessel of hot water or a steam spread- er on the spout of a teakettle, with the back of the velvet toward the steam. Dust may be removed from velvet by brushing, then sponging ‘carefully and steaming. Jean meat Is of a pinkish color and the fat is uniform, white and brittle. ‘The cuts of meat are thick and compact and have a fair percentage of fat. The bones are small and inclined to be soft. ‘The “good” grade resembles “choice” in most respects but may lack some of ‘the essential points. The amount of fat may be less and it may not be so evenly distributed. ‘he color of the lean meat is the same as in “choice,” but in each ease the retail cut of meat must show that the animal was in a well-nourished condition at the time of slaughter. This is indicated by the firmness of the meat and a libers\ umount of fat. The Lower Grades. ‘The “medium” grade represents the next lower quality, and the principal point which determines this grade is a Ivck of outside and inside fat. The lean meat has a dull appearance and lacks the firmness found in the two higher grades, ‘The lean meat also frequently has a watery appearance. ‘The bones are usually small but the percentage of meat is much lower than in the better grades, The “common” grade is the lowest grade usually found in the markets. ‘The meat has every appearance of the animal having been poorly fed. The hones are prominent and the percent- age of meat is very small. ‘The almost entire lack of fat iy strikingly noticc able, © The small percentage of lean meat has a flabby appearance and is dull in color. USEFUL KITCHEN EQUIPMENT Sink and Work Tables Are Important Factors in Woman's Well-Doing— Right Height. (Prepared by the United States Depart. ment of Agriculture.) The height of a woman's kitchen sink and work table are important fac- tors in her well-being and well-doing. She can't do as much or as good work and feel well and strong with her sink and table so low that she has to bend over to work, or so high that she has to “seach up,” as she would were they the proper height. As a general ruie, ‘82 to 86 inches from the floor ts the height for general work tables, and the bottom of the sink should usually be 30 to 31 inches from the floor, the home economics kitchen of the United States department of agriculture sug- gests. However, each woman ought to find out for herself the helght, of the table at which she can*work most easily and efficiently, and see that her work table and sink are adjusted ac- cordingly. Legs whieh are too long ean be cut off, und those too short can be raised by blocks under them. HOW TO COOK “KNOT CELERY” Roots, Which Are About Size of White Turnip, and Not the Stalks Are Eaten. (Prepared by the United States Depart. ment of Agriculture.) Celeriac is known also as “knot celery” or “turnip-rooted celery.” ‘The roots, which are about the size of a white turnip, and not the stalks are eaten, ‘They are more often used as a yegetuble than as a salad. Prepare the celeriac by paring and then entting it into thin, narrow slices or dice. Put into cold Water, Drain from this wa ter and drop into boiling water and boil 30 minutes, Drain and rinse with cold water. Make a white sauce with ‘one tablespoonful of butter, one table. spoonful of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and one cupful of milk. Wher ‘smooth and well cookel add the celeriac, Hot vinegar will remove paint marks from glass. eae Cold céreal with cream Is an excel- lent supper dish. eee New beets and potatoes together make an appetizing salad. ‘Co keep cheese fresh, wrap It In a cloth that has been dipped in vinegar and wrung as dry as possible, Keep lm a cool place. LED IN “ART PRESERVATIVE” Conclusive Proof That the Koreans Were the First to Perceive Value ‘of Movable Type. Fifty pleces of movable type bear- Ing the Chinese characters, belng part of the first font of movable type ever made, were shown in the tast week ip the Museum of Natural History, in Now York. England has the other half of the font. which was east In Seoul, Korea, in 1108, some years before the discoveries of Forster, Gutenberg and the other early typemakers in Europe. It seems, thus, that to the Koreans be- longs the distinetion of having Invent- ed and first produced separate type characters in metal. Each type Is eylindrieatly concave on the under side, In order to make ft cling more firmly to the bed of bees: wax whieh constituted the “form.” When the type had been firmly and evenly embedded In the wax the print- er, silting cross-legged before the form, covered the type with Ink applied with a soft brush, ‘Then the paper was laid lightly on the form and a plece of felt was brushed gently over the paper with one hand, after which the other removed the printed page. It was pos- sible to strike off as many as 1,500 impressions a day In this way. Thrown aside as useless, the font lay as rubbish on the floor of the gov- ernment printing office at Seoul during the Japanese Invasion of 159297, and so lay unnoticed and eseaped being carried off Into Japan. Later, how- ever, the types were collected and the font ngain made up and used for printing Although this font was the first to be made of movable metal type, varl- ous methods of printing had already been in vogue for centuries, Dr, Ber- thold Laufer, anthropologist and orl- entalist, has recently drawn up an ex- cellent reference summary of the in portant dates in the history of priting, As early as 175 A. D, texts of the Chi- nese classics were engraved on stone tablets, and impressions were taken on paper by rubbing. In 598 classical hooks were printed by means of wood- on blocks, block-printing on a smaller scale having already been practiced. In 764 Japan adopted block-printing, and in. the tenth century there were discovered In Fayoum, Egypt. block printed books in Arable. To Explore Earth's Interior, Our knowledge of the> earth from actual contact Is confined to a thin layer of only a few hundred feet, and what exists deeper down Is a subject for speculation. The idea of exploring further by @ bore-hole some ten thnes as deep as any yet attempted was again brought up In the late presi- dential address of Hon, Sir Charles A. Varsons to the British association. He proposed In 1904 the sinking of such n shaft to a depth of 12 miles, and estimated that It would require eizhty-five years of time and cost $25,- 000,000—an outlay about equal to that for one first-class battleship. Since then Prof. F, D, Adams has concluded that a depth of 15 miles could be reached in limestone before the rock would give (rouble by being crushed, and in granite about 30 mites could be reached. Such a shaft might throw much light on the earth's internal con- stitution—especially as related to very heavy minerals, In Italy,«bore-holes sunk to moderate depths In a yolean- je district discharge great volumes of high pressure steam, and this Is be- ing utilized to generate about 10.000 horsepower by turbines. rita cine PO ee Cae earhte.. In Its tests of 52 different types of marbles, the United States bureau of standards has found the compressive strength of the dry material to range hetween 7,850 and 50.250 pounds per square inch.

It is a sign of the simes of women’s interest In business and thelr recognition as responsible helpmates. In the west-end there is more than one emporium of feminine attire un- der the ownership of So-and-So and Daughter—or duughters—and I know of another which belongs officially to father and daughters; but I have never yet come across a shop under the joint ywnership of husband and wife, yet we know of countless small businesses in which the wife of the ewner does fa goodly share of the work. | D 2 Es od | D =e = Ss Wi “1 hota Toiinat. hw: tacpinsiens vignette SE-NGIGs cae power tat contend. | tevlontcande{hea-cimphy. tor travel Aan Sanh and eegee missout pee ie nght with ténu- ||) aphelby: even frenuent pulkbess SY her ner an the wee, Ie the neores OF ail human Than eels inet. si) ae tacaptea: t6,~'| nnchievernent their graves, —> rote sic norence that ~ | WHOLESOME MEATLESS DISHES hole Rois some splendid wisdom | — of thelr own.” Though cheese, eggs, dried beans and — peus, nuts and fish are gil equivalent DAINTY DISHES | in food value to meat, A most nutritious dish which will | they will not take oe take the place of creamed or escallop- place In the menu unless ot ae & ireorea we they are combined vit ry followe: ‘Take a -cupful other foods which ‘con B of cooked rice, add hot tasnt stn: eaull Valent “© CD milk and beat until masat th a tte PTO cf «mooth and creamy, then ounce of cheese Is equal a) Ce ee eee Cis Fee eae en i ewes Lee ee Te must have bulk to feel well fed.

If it is not possible to serve them at once, plice them on a wire rack In the oven; if piled on a plate they become soggy and jose their chief charm, which is crispness. Never serve waffles on top of each other as the steaming softens them. Another thing to remember in serv- ing waflles is to have the sirup or sauce served with them, cold, as a hot sirup will destroy the crispness of the waflle.

ROYAL FEASTS OF OTHER DAYS CAN it be that not only the times are out of joint, but the seasons, too, are changing? Is nature at this late day trying some experiments and setting back the hands on her dialplate of months? Certainly this November weather is not the kind we read about when our grandfathers tell of "the good old times," of the "big snows" and "when the land was new." For days we have lived as if summer skies were brooding over us, and were it not for the bare trees and silent woods we could almost fancy ourselves in that land of pure delight where spring immortal reigns. This is the real Indian summer, so often talked of, but so seldom experienced in perfection, a writer in the Boston Herald asserts. All over this part of the world we hear of it, day after day of warm and comfortable weather, when the sun shines faintly through the clouds of mist and purple smoke veils all harsh outlines and unsightly objects; day after day with skies of melting tenderness and soft kephyrs playing in the tangled locks of little children romping in field and wood. The windows are thrown open, doors set ajar, and the fire goes out upon the hearth. Everybody wants to get out in the open, to wander on country roads, to climb the hill and find the seashore. In the Old World this season is sometimes called "the old man's summer," and the feast of good St. Martin, which falls in the first week of November, is known as "the old man's holiday"—perhaps because of its unexpected short-lived charm. Needs a Country Setting. Thanksgiving, of course, is truly a country affair, and in the city loses half its charm. The very word has come to mean something of country ways and country living, country products and country hospitality. It smacks of all things rural, of hills and fields and lanes and woods, ripe fruit, perfect vegetables, loaded corncrib, shining cattle. One cannot celebrate Thanksgiving in, in a town flat, or a brown-stone mansion, certainly not in a boarding house or dining car. Thanksgiving day means a rambling house in a great green yard, a quaint, old gambrel-roofed cottage near a country road, a log cabin in a ten-acre patch; houses full of old-fashioned furniture and with room for all the family and the kinsfolk and the stranger within the gates. It means love of home and great-hearted hospitality, coming back of the children, the welcome of the old folks. Thanksgiving ~ 1919 For dull ease broken By sharpest dole, For the dart that is driven Through flesh to soul; For wrath made sterner By right's eclipse, For brave songs breaking From pain-wrung lips— We praise Thee, O God! For faith that is born From the burning nest, For the spirit's flight On its starward quest, For peace that dwells At the heart of strife, For death that scatters The seed of life— We praise Thee, O God! The ideal Thanksgiving must have a setting of snow. It must echo to the ring of sleigh bells and the neigh of the horses in frosty weather. No matter what the weather for weeks before, there should be snow in good time. The sun rises on a dazzling picture of white field and glistening woodland. A veil of magic beauty covers fence and road, the yard so brown and ugly but yesterday, hides now under a mantle of snowy swansdown. All night it fell, noiselessly, stealthily, mysteriously, this first coming snow of the year, and made of this common earth a bit of fairyland, a transformation scene. The Thanksgiving dinner of the country's earlier days has been described so frequently that it is like a "thrice-told tale, signifying sound and nonsense," so vividly that one can almost taste the dalnties. Modern kitchens could not cook those incomparable dishes. Such a feast could not be served in courses, or brought on in piecemeal. In those days the table literally "groaned with its burden" and glowed with the beauty of the assembled dishes. Merely to recite their names would tempt the most pitiful dyspeptic. Roast pig, hot and brown, roast spare ribs, pink and cold; roast turkey, julice and tender, full to bursting with perfect stuffing; potatoes, snowwhite and mealy; boiled onions, like shining pearls; stewed tomatoes, of deepest red; coldslaw, that pale green dainty. Perhaps there would be a pot-pie of chicken, or squirrel, or quail, a dish of hominy, or turnips, or corn. Celery in bouquets of bleached plumes; beets, cut in scarlet roses; spiced pickles, sweet and sour; cranberries; glowing like heaped-up rubies, and pies, of all sorts and sizes, apple and custard and cherry and mince—but, best of all, because most appropriate, the old-fashioned pumpkin pie, a lost delight, and, like Poe's heroine—"vanished now for evermore." In the days of real Thanksgiving, there was no ice cream, no bar-le-duc, no creme-de-menthe, no pousse-cafe, no treacherous cocktail nor subtle pick-me-up. For dessert there were doughnuts and cheese, gingerbread and beaten biscuit and honey; apples and nuts and popcorn, and cider from the home press, made for the occasion and with just the right twang to its bubbles. Royal Feasts and Feasters. Such royal feasts needed royal feasters, the keen winter air and long sermon combined to make the only true sauce, the simple, honest hunger of simple, honest people. Nowadays we hear of "the keen, sharp pangs of the morning after." Nobody ever heard of a sickness the day after this Thanksgiving dinner. Nobody was in a hurry to get off to the theater or card party, for 1 o'clock was the dinner hour, and the sleigh ride home through clear winter sunlight was the best of all digestants, if such a thing were needed. In some neighborhoods the day would end in a Thanksgiving dance, but this was not a prevailing custom. Perhaps the visitors would spend the night, would gather round the fire and tell stories, or listen to some newcomer with tale of adventure or deeds of daring. And there was always music; some one would play on violin or bass viol, perchance a little piano or quaint melodeon. People sang ballads in those days. "On the Banks of Allan Water," "Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes," "Fly Away to My Native Land," and others so long unsung, are like dreams of far-off joy to the old folks. PLAN TREATY COMPROMISE POWERS THAT HAVE RATIFIED WILL NOT WAIT ON THE UNITED STATES. BOTH SIDES STUBBORN TREATY MAY BE DRAWN INTO THE 1920 POLITICAL CAMPAIGN. Washington, Nov. 21.—Avenues of speculation leading many ways were opened up when officials and diplomats turned over in their minds the possible results at home and abroad that are to follow termination of the special session of Congress without Senate ratification of the peace treaty. The thoughts of the treaty's friends in the Senate centered on accomplishing some compromise for a ratification in the session beginning Dec. 1, and to that end steps are understood to have been taken to ask that President Wilson ascertain from the other powers what reservations they would accept. At the White House silence was maintained and callers got the impression that for the present the administration was willing to await quietly the outcome of compromise efforts among senators. It was not revealed whether the President would permit that policy to stand in the way of undertaking the diplomatic exchanges suggested. Everywhere the Senate's action was accepted as meaning at least a long delay in ratification, and officials thought the formal establishment of a state of peace between Germany and the powers that have ratified would proceed now without waiting further for the decision of the United States. The chief result, it was agreed, would be commercial and financial. Chief among the matters of domestic concern affected by the Senate's delay is war-time prohibition, which took a new lease of life with the postponement of a legal status of peace. In the same class is various other war legislation, and altho the Republican leaders in Congress will seek to end the war formally by a resolution, constitutional objections to that method are likely, in the opinion of some officials, to tie up the effort for some time in the courts. Another line on which speculation turned was the possible effect of the Senate showdown on domestic politics. Although both parties have disclaimed any desire to put the treaty into politics, the chances of keeping it out of 1920 calculations were admitted on all sides to have been reduced by the bitter clashes in debate when Republican and Democrat senators hurled across the Senate chamber their challenges to go to the country on the issue. Appoint New Labor Board. Washington. —Another effort to bring industrial peace to the country is to be made by a conference of former federal and state officials, business men and economists, the personnel of which has been announced at the White House. Unlike the national industrial conference, which came to grief over the question of collective bargaining, the new body will represent no distinctive groups, but will undertake to act in the interest of all the people. It will meet in Washington on Dec. 1. Gets Big Contract. New York—Larry Semon, famous screen comedian, has signed a contract with Albert E. Smith, president of Vitagraph, by the terms of which that company will pay $3,600,000 during the ensuing three years for the comedies of this star. One-third of this sum will be paid each year of the three-year contract, the annual payment thus averaging over $1,000,000 a year. Kaiser's Trial Coming. London.—Action on the proposal to try the former kaiser is hoped for by Christmas, according to the Telegraph, which said the attorney general and the solicitor general of Great Britain were in Paris consulting with the supreme council regarding the proposed trial. Moroccan Troops Executed. Madrid. — Twenty-one Moroccan tribesmen were executed at Tetuan, east of Tangier, for killing their officers while in the service of the Spanish government. Tired of Vienna Burden. London.—Premier Lloyd George, reply ing to questions in the House of Commons, said he saw no hope of amelioration in the economic situation of Vienna without the help of the United States. The British had already given aid to the Viennese government amounting to 3,500,000 pounds sterling, but the premier announced that Great Britain did not intend to continue to bear the greater part of the burden of the famine in that country without outside aid.

A Rival Styles Present Their Claims A --- COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West The Modern Order of the Separate Skirt is thoroughly established and flourishing—every woman belongs to it and some of them are devoted to it. Therefore there are separate skirts represented in all classes of apparel—from morning and utility dress to evening finery. Among the newly arrived models those of velvet, velveteen and satin, will make an instant appeal for afternoon wear. In these fabrics, rows of flat buttons covered with the fabric, are featured for decoration and the models are shown in draped skirts, with widened hip effects, in plaited designs and with tunica of irregular length. The buttons vary in size A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Girldes on the dressier skirts are usually wide but those on utility models follow the style of street skirts and are narrow. But the utility skirt, like the falluled suit, indulges in little Rival Styles Pres 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. Now that the lives of women are filled by so many interests, tailored suits have manifold duties to perform and therefore the demand for the fancier styles has outrun that for severely plain designs. But both kinds present their claims in the season's offerings and both are represented by examples of excellent designing. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Even in the fancier suits, skirts find it expedient to remain quite plain. They efface themselves in favor of the blouse or smock. One is more or less "dressed up," according to the blouse worn, and it may vary all the way from a shirtwaist to an embroidered and beaded dinner or theater garment. "Fancy" is to be understood as a trade term for the type of suit that is most sought for. These suits are not much trimmed, but they are enriched with embroideries or fur or tucks or braid, all used with originality and restraint. The cloth suit, at the left of the two shown above is a type of fanciful elements of design in its makeup, like those appearing in the skirt at the left of the picture. Bone buttons and cloth loops at the bottom of the pockets and a long silk cord and tussel toward the back of the skirt are there because they are there—just to be looked at. Heavy wool plaids in quiet colors, shepherd checks and crossbars, together with plain cloths, tell the story of the utility skirt so far as materials are concerned. The model at the right of plain tricotine is a business-like affair in which narrow silk braid and bone buttons are used with effective discretion. Braid appears to have fallen into the hands of master designers this season and has won over many devotees of perfectly plain tailored suits and skirts to its use. The picture tells the story of this skirt in a way to make a description of it altogether unnecessary. ent Their Claims the styles favored, with collar and border of fur. It indulges in a narrow girdle of the cloth, with hanging ends at the back, that are allowed handsome flat silk tassels as a finish. The utility suit at the right of the picture depends upon tucks and buttons for its embellishment and is as smart in its way as its dressier rival. It is a sturdy looking affair in which one can face wind and weather, go a-traveling or to business, and will stand much wear and still come up smiling. Julia Bottomly Little stuffed balls of silk are allowed to hang pendant on an inch or two of silk thread or narrow braid as trimming on the corners of collars bell cuffs and sash ends.
