LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY Virginia College Professor Says More White People Should Read Negro Newspapers VOL. XXVI. CHICAGO, Ill.—Have a heart, good people. The house is divided against itself. It is written, "That a house divided against itself cannot stand." While Congressman Burns is of the opinion that many race newspapers are doing harm, Dr. Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English of the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va., makes the exclusive statement to the Associated Negro Press concerning newspapers. Startling in its frankness and complimentary to the last degree, Dr. Kerlin says: "I am reading Negro newspapers—reading them by the dozen, reading them by the score, from all parts of the country, from half the states of the union, papers of every kind, secular, religious, fraternal, institutional. Let me tell you some of my impressions—the impressions of a white man. "First of all, I am profoundly impressed by the unanimity of these papers in their expression of the wrongs, the discriminations, and injustices practiced against the colored people by their white neighbors and fellow-citizens. Never, I think, did so many millions of people constituting a racial unit exhibit such a solid front, such unanimity of feeling and purpose. Their reaction to lynchings and the riots of which they have been victims—to the shame of white America—has been that of one outraged and tortured soul, heroic in forbearance and in suffering. "Then I am impressed by the force and resoluteness of the colored people's contention—also put forth with absolute unanimity for justice, for opportunity and constitutional rights, and for all that as human begins and patriotic Americans and loyal citizens, they are entitled to." "Such are my impressions, not to proceed further in stating them, that I wish the white people of America generally might go to reading your papers, and do so with a serious mind to get your point of view, to learn how you think and feel on the subjects that so vitally concerns us, to know what measures you have to propose to bring about better racial relations and an improvement of conditions with prevention of mob violence and lawlessness. Out of such reading would certainly spring a better understanding, atoning sympathy, saner and surer co-operation. The question of questions for us as a nation today is recial adjustment. The present condition of distrust and hostile feeling, ill disguised if not open and violent, is intolerable to all self-respecting and human-hearted people. It is utterly opposed to Americanism and to Christianity. I, for one, take my stand for justice, for humanity, and for a square deal. Simply because it is right and following the promptings of my own heart. "Another thing I wanted to say about your papers is that they display no little editorial ability, and reflect credit upon the race. Their editorials are often worthy of the ablest white papers—cogent in reasoning, temperate though resolute in tone, uncompromising yet dignified in their demands, throughout showing intellectual strength and moral conviction. strongman and A general reading of the best color gardens could not but greatly benefit the white people and produce good results for all America." ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION NINE COLORED EX-SOLDIERS LYNCHED IN 1919. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today published a statement showing that nine colored ex-soldiers had been lynched in the United States during 1919. Of the nine, two were burned to death, two were hanged, four were shot and one was beaten. One of the colored soldiers was shot to death because he did not turn out of the road soon enough for passing white men. The list follows: Colored Soldiers Lynched During 1919. March 14, Castlebury, Fla.—Bud Johnson, burned to death. Said to have confessed to attack on white woman. April 9, Pickens, Miss.—— admitted he had hired a woman to write an insulting note to a white woman.

IMPORTANCE OF THE FOUR TEENTH UNITED STATES CENSUS TO THE COLORED PEOPLE. Because of the many economic changes since 1910, the importance of the approaching decennial census to the colored people should not be underestimated. These changes will be a matter of record in the history of the growth of the race and of the nation, and the statistical information which will be compiled from the data collected by the census enumerators who will canvass the United States in January should constitute a source of reliable information for this and for future generations. Through migration the colored population of some states has considerably increased, while in others it has decreased since the United States census of 1910. Agricultural activities appear to be extending in new directions. Thousands of colored men and women have entered into the industrial life of the nation as producers. Indications, in certain states, point to a large increase in home ownership. A substantial growth in the number of business enterprises owned and operated by colored men is reflected in their newspapers and magazines, which are growing in number and influence.

State House able People's Pa RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA men and women are steadily increasing and the percentage of illiteracy is rapidly decreasing. The accuracy of the census reports depends largely upon the willingness of each individual to answer fully each question asked by the enumerator, and it is only in this way that reliable data can be obtained from which can be determined the social and economic progress made by each element of the population in the United States. The census bureau emphasizes the point that all information collected by the census enumerators is strictly confidential. It cannot be used as a basis for taxation, for the enforcement of any federal, state, or local law, or in any way whatsoever that will cause harm to the person giving it or to his affairs. No one, therefore, should hesitate to give to the census enumerators complete and truthful replies which the enumerators can use in filling out the printed census schedule carried by them, nor should any attempt be made by anyone to cover up the true facts that pertain to each man and woman. CHRISTMAS PARDON GRANTED. Among the Christmas pardons granted by the Hon. Oliver H. Shoup, governor of Colorado, was a pardon for David Rudd, a colored man of Leadville, Colo., one of the best known colored men in the state. Rudd was sentenced about a year ago to imprisonment in the state penitentiary for not less than one year and a half and not more than eight years. Hon. Francis E. Bouck was the trial judge. It speaks well for Rudd to say that he practically made "trustee" at the gate of the institution. In less than a week's time he was given trustee and began duty as a houseman in the Honesty or S One Great N HAMPTON, Va., Dec. 22.—Dr. James E. Gregg, Principal of Hampton Inst., in his recent address an "The Demand for Honesty," said that "our own country, we are told by many returning travelers, is disliked and even hated and despised abroad, because the other nations, who were our allies so recently, believe that we are not living up to the reputation which we had made for unselfishness. We are not carrying out, as they think, our promises and our professions. "It is not only the Senate of the United States that is standing in the way and preventing the Treaty of Peace from being passed, so as to permit the governments of the world to get down to the business of improving on the treaty wherever it may need improvement, and the life of the nations to take up its normal course again. It is not only the Senate of the United States, but there are others in this country supporting the Senate and following the same course of selfishness, when America had made her name honored and beloved through-out the world by her unselfish, generous participation in the Great War. "It will be a shameful thing if the United States comes to be classed among the nations that cannot be trusted, that are regarded as dishonest. For myself, I cannot believe that this will come to pass. I feel sure that our statesmen will see the folly of their ways before long and give this point to leadership. Number and operated in magazines, and in professional home of Warden Thos. J. Tynan. After serving a little more than ten months he was released on parole and returned to Leadville. Through the efforts of State Senator Walter F. O'Brien of Leadville the trial judge and the prosecuting attorney of the Fifth judicial district were appealed to and they willingly approved of Rudd's pardon. Senator O'Brien then laid the case before the governor, with the result that Rudd was granted executive clemency on Christmas morning. It is worthy of note to show friendliness toward our people that Senator O'Brien, who received the pardon early Christmas morning, placed it on his family Christmas tree and then sent for Rudd. When Rudd reached the home of Senator O'Brien he was taken to the family tree and young Master O'Brien presented Rudd with the pardon as his merry Christmas. Governor Shoup's act meets with the approval of all the colored people throughout the state, and it bids fair to say that Senator O'Brien must have some real heart and we are for him. PRESIDENT WILSON SAVES ARMY CAPTAIN FROM DEATH. Washington, D. C., Dec. 26th.—Sentence of death imposed by court-martial on Captain Daniel Smith of the 366th Infantry, on conviction of having fled from the enemy in France, was disapproved and the officer ordered restored to duty, according to orders published by the War Department. The order is signed by Secretary Baker "by direction of the President." Captain Smith, who has just been demobilized, was accused of "shamefully" retreating and running away from the enemy Sept. 28, 1918, when his regiment was ordered to advance near Vienne-le-Chateau. It was proven that the charges were unfounded, and grew largely from prejudice on the part of the white commanders. nation the place which she ought to have in the world before the minds of men once more. Remember Abraham Lincoln. What was he called? What made him trusted so widely by the people of his time? Because they could think and speak of him as 'Honest Abe.' Because they were sure that he was sincere. "Why are men reading all they can read and never ceasing to think of Theodore Roosevelt? Whether they agreed with him or not, they say, 'Yes, I admire him.' The American people have a place for him in their hearts that they have for no one else. Why? It is because he spoke out the truth, as he saw the truth, regardless of consequences. Men admire that and they always will, and they will always stand by the man they are sure is honest and straight-forward and above-board in his dealings, and is not afraid." Referring, to Germany's downfall, Dr. Gregg said: "Honesty is good to begin with and good to end with. It is a very ordinary thing, perhaps, and a very common-place thing to praise honesty, but the world needs to give honor and to give praise exactly there. Think how Germany has worked her own downfall because of the lack of honesty in her statesmen, in her leaders! How she has permitted herself to be fooled, deluded, misled, and finally almost ruined, just by this one thing—along with other evils—but by this one falling, this one sin especially." RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources Boston, Mass., Dec. 26th.—A new world's record for deep sea diving was made 15 miles east of Graves Light when John F. Turner (white), Philadelphia, a diver of international reputation, reached a depth of 360 feet under water. This feat is astonishing because it means that Turner descended from a height higher than Bunker Hill monument or the Pilgrim shaft at Provincetown, which are 220 and 254 feet high, respectively. A diver can now go more than twice as far down into the sea as the most expert could previously go with the aid of the old-fashioned diving suit of rubber. To Get Sunken Gold. A new diving suit of armour has made it all possible, the invention of Charles H. Jackson, a mechanic, who lives at 12 Albion street. It was in testing this new suit, made entirely of brass, that Turner accomplished his memorable feat here recently. This new invention is expected to give a great impetus to the search for sunken treasure, because it relieves the diver of the tremendous pressure of the water against the body at low depths and enables him to go with comparative safety into the great stretches of the ocean bottom where it is impossible to penetrate with the ordinary diving suit of rubber. Perfect Diving Suit. The greatest use to which the new invention will be required to perform is the collection of gold bullion now on the bottom of the ocean as a result of the world war and the German submarine activities. Despite the fact that two divers have already been killed in attempting to salvage this sea treasure, Diver Turner, who made his second world's record, is confident of getting the entire $30,000,000 now in the hull of the British liner Laurentic. "I won't blame my failure to this new diving suit of armour, because it is the most perfect thing of its kind ever invented," Turner said. BIG TRUST COMPANY PLANNED FOR ST. LOUIS. St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 26th.—Efforts which have been directed toward the organization of a bank operated by our capital took definite form last week in the preliminary work looking toward the formation of the Necca Trust and Banking Company. Several thousand dollars were subscribed, and at a meeting Wednesday night in the Y. M. C. A. many additional thousands of dollars were pledged and the movement assured. The full working capital of the institution is to be $200,000. Those elected as officers were: Dr. Charles H. Phillips, president; C. H. Turpin, vice president; E. L. Harris, treasurer; J. H. B. Evans, secretary and D. W. Bowles, head of the legal department. The first board of directors will consist of C. K. Robinson, L. S. Williams, J. H. Harrison, Dr. J. T. Edwards, H. A. Smith and Eugene Robinson. It is expected the stock will be placed on the market before this matter gets off the press. The founding of this bank will make the third large venture which has been announced to the public during the last few months. First, the race was to have a large assembly hall somewhere NO.12. in the neighborhood of Jefferson and Lawton; next, a large department store was in process of formation under the leadership of Dr. B. G. Shaw. This last race project promises more of action than either of the others, though the public is willing to back all such enterprises to the limit. THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR 1919.

The scheme, which originated with Daniel Jones, head of the phonetic department of the university, calls for the expenditure of $2,500,000. an epidemic of influenza similar to that which swept around the world last year has broken out in Japan, according to Tokio advices to the Nippon Jiji, a Japanese newspaper of Honolulu. Reports from different parts of Japan received in Tokio, says the Nippu Jiji correspondent, states that the government has taken energetic measures to block the spread of the epidemic. French automobile production for 1920 will be 200,000 cars, against 30,000 in 1914. These figures do not include commercial trucks. The industry is nevertheless quite unable to cope with even the French demand for cars, which has reached unprecedented proportions owing to the past five years' non-production. The 150,000 touring cars and trucks bought from the American army has already been absorbed without in the least adversely affecting home production. GENERAL Burglary insurance companies estimated New Yorkers were robbed of cash and goods worth $25,000,000 during 1919. Cracksmen broke into the safe of the Oresster & Hassler Chemical Company at Perth Amboy, N. J., and escaped with gold and platinum valued at $75,000.

COMING EVENTS. Denver—Live Stock Show, January 17 to 24, 1820. William Curtis Cox, who died in Phoenix, was a pioneer mine inspector in that state. He located in Leadville in 1879 and made his home in Colorado until recently, when he and Mrs. Cox went to Phoenix. Bert Ladd, owner of the City Barber Shop at Brush, died of what attending physicians said was wood alcohol poisoning. Before he became unconscious Ladd said he drank a quantity of face lotion from his barber shop last night, thinking it would serve as a beverage. Trappers of Archuleta county report that they are having a good season. Furs' are high in price and the game plentiful. One Pagosan sold two coyote hides to a traveling salesman for $40. Small boys are trapping skunks galore and selling the hides for a good price. Oscar McCoy sold furs worth $200 which he had collected with little effort in the last few weeks. The wrestling squad at the Colorado Agricultural college is making great headway under the efficient coaching methods of Alfred Westfall, instructor of English at the college. Westfall is an oldtimer at the wrestling game, having participated in a number of bouts in the "Big Ten" conference. Boxing, as well as wrestling, is progressing. The initial dual meet will be held on Jan. 23rd, with the University of Colorado as the opponent. Taxpayers of the Ault school district will vote Jan. 6th on the proposition to issue $6,000 bonds for the purchase of the Ault armory for community purposes. The armory was built by a stock company of merchants fifteen years ago for the militia company which was in existence at that time. It is the only large hall in the district suitable for dances and public entertainments. In order that it may be kept for community enterprise the owners have agreed to turn over the building to the school district at much less than its present value. If the district takes over the property it will be used for a school gymnasium and a community center. Greater systemization of the government's activities in the interest of discharged Yanks and closer co-ordination of all agencies for soldier employment—federal, state and local—are chief among a series of recommendations made by the state committee for the relief of ex-service men and women, in a report submitted to Gov. Oliver H. Shoup. The report winds up the committee's duties incident to the campaign which was conducted under its direction between Nov. 18th and Dec. 4th, resulting directly in the finding of employment for 1,027 ex-Yanks. This figure covers only instances actually listed, many additional placements having been brought about through the impetus of the campaign. In order to get the opinion of organized labor concerning the proposal of the State Railroad Commission that three tunnels be driven through the main range of the Rockies, 400 letters have been mailed to local unions throughout the state by officials of the Colorado Federation of Labor. As soon as the answers are received the federation will issue a statement based upon them. Copies of the report recently issued by the State Railroad Commission accompanied the letters. The federation already has indorsed the idea of boring the James Peak tunnel on the Moffat road, but two others near Marshall and Cumbres passes are included in the plans of the railroad commission. The letters call for an opinion and for "such criticisms as seem jus." Winners in the contest for $100 in prizes offered by Karl C. Schuyler of Denver for the best editorials printed in any Colorado publication before Dec. 15 on the subject of public health were announced today by the Colorado Public Health Association. The first prize of $50 was awarded to H. S. Rogers for an editorial, "Let's Join the Battle for Good Health," printed in the Denver Record Stockman of Dec. 13. Two prizes of $25 each were given to Arthur A. Parkhurst of the Boulder News-Herald for an editorial, "Need and Opportunity for Public Health Work in Colorado," printed Dec. 13, and to Walter L. Wilder for an editorial entitled, "The Spotlight," printed in the Pueblo Chieftain on Nov. 7. Honorable mention was made of two editorials, one by C. E. Adams in the Montrose Press of Nov. 29, the other by W. H. Harkrader in the Bent County Democrat of Dec. 13. There were thirty-two entries in the contest. The judges were Mrs. Charles H. Jacobson, president of the Colorado Federation of Women's Clubs; Frank Farrar, managing editor of the Rocky Mountain News, and Jerome Strauss, president of the Denver Press Club. Burton Orr, miner and railroad section boss, killed his wife, Ella Orr, at Dacona, and then took his own life, through jealousy of attentions paid a little girl by his wife, is the abstract of the testimony, before a coroner's jury after the killing. Dacona is twenty-five miles north of Denver, in the Frederick mining district, and Orr had come from Kuna, Idaho, where he is employed on a railroad, to spend the holidays with his wife, who was visiting in the home of her brother, Frank Moore. --- Through the collection by county assessors of acreage reports, for all important Colorado crops the state immigration department has been able to show during the current year that the acreage of land in cultivation in Colorado is far in excess of what those best informed regarding agricultural development have believed it to be. These reports show that the area in cultivation in the state this year, including native hay but not including orchards, is approximately 5,500,000 or fully 1,000,000 acres more than has been shown by the estimates for any preceding year. The increase in cultivated area in the state in the past few years has been so rapid that those whose task it has been to keep records on agricultural development have been unable to show the full extent of the growth. The census bureau showed but 2,614,000 acres in cultivation ten years ago. The United States Bureau of Crop Estimates showed but 600,000 acres of wheat harvested in the state in 1916, whereas the records prepared by county assessors show that more than 1,400,000 acres was harvested this year. The records of the same bureau showed but 27,000 acres of rye harvested in the state in 1916, while county assessors' records show approximately 143,000 acres harvested in 1919. Since this was the first year records of this character ever prepared by county assessors it is fair to assume that they are not so complete as they will be in the future. Data of this character is especially important in a state where agricultural development is very rapid, as it has been in Colorado in the past ten years. THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West When the doors open January 17th for the fourteenth annual exposition of the National Western Stock Show there will be gathered in Denver the greatest winter crowd that ever has gathered in the capital city. Hotel accommodations are ample but it behooves those who anticipate coming to arrange accommodations in advance. The advice of the stock show management is that people write to Denver Tourist Bureau and have them assign rooms for them. The bureau will have agents at the union depot to meet travelers and conduct them to their rooms. This year for the first time the National Western has cut loose and is running the show free from the stock yards management. Additional property has been purchased and the ground used in erecting a building for cattle. Space has been prepared for 600 head of purebread exhibition cattle. From this one gets a hint of the size and character of the live stock show now assured. ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The new cattle building at the stock show grounds in Denver is thoroughly up-to-date. It contains ample provisions for barbering and manicuring blue-blood stock for the show ring. Six hundred registered Herefords and Shorthorns will be housed in the building. They are gathering from all over the United States. Two famous herds are entered from Montana, the A. B. Cook herd from Townsend and the Wallis Huidekoper herd from Wallis. The last is a newcomer at the Denver shows. Mr. Huidekopper will bring a car of registered, Herford calves and a car of yearling bulls. At the International at Chicago last month he purchased for $3,200 "Wyoming Image," a yearling bull sired by Blayney's "Wyoming." THE COLORADO STATESMAN With the interior or her home a raging furnace and the building doomed to destruction, near Walden, Colo., Mrs. Edward With managed to drag her three little children to safety and then, herself and babies, thinly clad, started for the Leatherman ranch, half a mile away, where it was found that the little second son, aged 4 years, had frozen his hands and arms to the elbows. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Large herds of antelope are reported to be feeding on hay and straw in the Dover district, in northern Colorado, to the annoyance and loss to the farmers in that section. The antelopes have been driven from the hills by deep snow and the freezing of water courses. In some cases the antelopes have mingled with domestic cattle and tried to eat food put out for the latter. Dr. Charles D. Spivak, Denver physician and one of the founders of the Jewish Consumptive Relief Society, left Denver for New York City, where he will join other members of a Jewish war sufferers relief unit to do reconstruction work in the devastated countries in Europe. Dr. Spivak is commissioner of health and sanitation of the unit and will make reports of conditions as he finds them. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. County Farm Agent Ben H. King, in his annual report to the farm bureau of Montrose county shows that the farmers of Montrose county are in probably the most prosperous condition in the history of this section. His report indicates many new innovations which have been tried successfully and many progressive organizations which have been formed for the betterment of the farm production. TWODOLLARSAYEAR A. Sullivan, Sam Cooley and several other Mosca men have organized a company which will put in an alfalfa meal mill there as soon as the machinery arrives. The machinery is already bought and shortly after it arrives in Mosca the mill will be in operation. Mr. Sullivan says that the mill would be of forty tons daily capacity. Two men wearing black masks and armed with revolvers, held up the pool hall at the Puritan mine near Frederick and got away with about $200, taken from the cash register and the dozen patrons of the place who were present. The patrons were lined up against a wall with their hands above their heads. While one of the robbers kept them covered, his accomplice riffled their pockets. VERY SERIOUS MENACE WHICH TUBERCULAR CATTLE ARE TO THE HEALTH OF CHILDREN This Entire Herd, Apparently Healthy, Was Found to Be Affected With Bovine Tuberculosis. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) protection of human beings, particu- One of the most important objectives in the campaign against tuberculosis among cattle, which is sometimes overlooked in the agitation regarding the effect of the disease on stock itself, is the very serious menace which tubercular cattle are to the public health. Children, in particular, are great sufferers from this source of infection. Origin of Tuberculosis. According to the best authorities tuberculosis of bovine origin represents about 25 per cent of all the cases of tuberculosis in children under five years of age. In certain types of the disease it is very much more, but taking the tuberculosis cases as a whole, about one case in four of every child under five acquires tuberculosis from cattle. It is estimated that in New York City between 6 and 10 per cent of the children that die in hospitals yearly of tuberculosis die of bovine tuberculosis. Medical authorities point out that the country has been very slow to appreciate the greatness of the menace of bovine tuberculosis in children. This need for greater MALT SIRUP GOOD AS A SUGAR SUBSTITUTE New Sweet Undoubtedly Will Make a Place for Itself in Every Household. Has a Delicious Flavor Somewhat Resembling Honey, Which Adds Greatly to Its Palatability and Value in Cooking. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Malt sugar sirup is a brand new sweet which has arrived on a commercial scale at the psychological moment to relieve the sugar shortage, say the specialists of the bureau of chemistry, who have investigated various substitutes for sugar. In addition to being a sweet, malt sugar sirup has a delicious flavor somewhat resembling that of honey, which adds much to its palatability and value as a sugar substitute. While malt sugar has long been known to chemists, its production on a commercial scale is only beginning. Two factors have stimulated its production recently. The shortage of sugar has developed a market for it, and the recent prohibition law has made available both the raw material and the machinery needed for its manufacture. Malt sugar sirup is made from the same grains as beer and may be made from corn or potatoes or any plant containing starch. Barley, which was used until recently in the manufacture of beer, can be used now to produce malt sugar sirup. Breweries, with very little change, can be used and are now being used for its manufacture. Up to a certain point the process for making malt sugar sirup is the same as the process for making beer. Evaporating pans are the principal additional equipment required by breweries to become malt-sugar sirup factories. Malt sugar sirup looks very much like maple sirup. It can be used for everything that cane sugar is used for. While its use on the table may not be quite as convenient as sugar, it is a most excellent substitute for table use when sugar is not to be had, as it not only provides sweetness but is equal to sugar in food value. For cooking and baking purposes and for making candy it is not only equal to sugar in convenience and food value, but is superior for some uses because it will not so readily crystallize. Malt sugar sirup is now being sold in large quantities to commercial bakeries and candy and soft-drink manufacturers, who use it in place of sugar. The wholesale price as quoted in recent advertisements in trade papers and elsewhere is from 7 to 9 cents per pound in barrel lots. Many retail grocers do not handle it yet, because there has been little demand for it on the part of housewives. Grocers can now obtain it and no doubt will be glad to do so as the demand for it increases. Housewives can well conserve their dwindling supply of sugar by using it in cooking, baking and homemade confections, and even on the table for sweetening coffee, oatmeal and desserts. It can be used for every purpose for which sugar is used. If the housewives want it, the grocers will get it. Although malt sugar sirup is being protection of human beings, particularly children, from the dangers of bovine tuberculosis is one of the things strongly emphasized in the campaign against diseased cattle. There are only two ways in which the disease can be eliminated. One is to assure that the milk is free from tubercle bacilli when it is produced, and the other is to destroy the tubercle bacilli present in the milk. The experts point out that the public should accept the statement that a common herd is free from tuberculosis with a great deal of caution unless there is ample evidence that the tuberculin test has been applied and applied frequently and applied correctly. Use Eternal Vigilance. Unless the milk which comes from the herd is in fact free from the tuberculosis it should be pasteurized. Furthermore eternal vigilance is necessary to make sure that pasteurization is carried on in the proper manner, otherwise the public consuming the milk is subject to great danger because it is acting on the assumption that it has been protected by proper pasteurization. called upon, so far as household use is concerned, merely as a pinch hitter in the present emergency, the specialists expect that it will make such a batting average that it will hereafter have a regular place in the batting order. This is a case where the substitute makes so good that the regular, whose place it takes, may have to warm the bench. While it is not likely that this new sweet will replace sugar for table use in normal times, it undoubtedly will make a place for itself in the household as it is doing in the manufacture of food products. It is an excellent, wholesome sirup, and on account of its delicious flavor, is superior to sugar for some purposes in cooking and baking. THOROUGHLY WASH ALL FOWL Skin of Poultry Is Frequently Very Dirty When Brought From Market—Use Warm Water. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The skin of poultry is frequently very dirty when brought from the market. Fowls should not only be washed, but scrubbed with a soft brush and warm water in which a teaspoonful of baking soda has been dissolved. Such treatment will prevent the disagreeable and "henny" taste often noticeable in cooked poultry. Poultry should be drawn immediately, and unless it is known to have been killed very recently, it should be thoroughly washed on the inside and used soon. Poultry that is drawn directly after killing, on the contrary, keeps better if not washed until used. It should be hung in a cold place or put into the ice box with a piece of charcoal inside the body. Cold-storage chickens, under no circumstances, should remain in a warm room before cooking. Such poultry should be kept at a cool temperature and cooked as soon as possible. All cold-storage food, when brought into a warm temperature, spoils quickly. Many cases of illness traced to the use of such food are merely due to careless handling and delay in cooking. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Potato salad should be made of cold boiled, hot baked, potatoes. The stove will keep its polish if it is rubbed down with a newspaper. Thin linen blinds may be rendered stronger by pasting narrow tape down each side. If you must rely upon the gas range for cooking preserves, always use an asbestos mat. Candle grease on a carpet may be removed by means of blotting paper and hot irons. Grass stains on clothing should be soaked in paraffin. The garment may then be washed as usual. Have you ever tried a clothes pin to remove the cores of apples? It will do this quite as effectively as a regular corer.

SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. The dessert adds the finishing touch to the meal. It should be appropriate, that is, following a heavy meal be light and dainty, or a meal less substantial may have a more filling dessert. The dessert is valued for its decorative effect as well as for its food value. Date Pudding.—Boil together ten minutes two cupfuls of water three-fourths of a cupful of brown sugar, and three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch. Add one cupful of sliced dates. Mold in sherbet cups. Garnish with whipped cream and chopped nuts, or pieces of cherry or dates. Apple Snow.—Pare, core and cut about four apples into quarters. Cover with boiling water and cook slowly until the apples are soft and the water has almost evaporated. Cool, put through a vegetable sieve. Add powdered sugar to taste and fold in as much whipped cream as you have apple pulp. Chill and serve. Peach Cup.—Take eight canned peaches, two eggs, one-half cupful of milk, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, three teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one-half teaspoonful of salt, and one teaspoonful of butter. Mash two of the peaches and add the well-beaten yolks of eggs. Add the milk and the dry ingredients sifted together. Add butter melted. Beat the mixture in a buttered custard cup, add half a peach, cover with batter, sprinkle the top with sugar and bake in a moderate oven twenty minutes. Serve with whipped cream or a hard sauce. Apricot Ice.—Take four cupfuls of dried apricots, four cupfuls of water, the juice of three lemons, one-half cupful of sugar and the whites of three eggs. Soak the apricots until soft; cook until tender. Press through a potato ricer to remove the skins. Add sugar to the pulp, then water and cook ten minutes. Remove from the fire, cool, add lemon juice and freeze. When the mixture is partly frozen, remove the cover and add the beaten whites of eggs. Cover and finish freezing. Apricot Whip.—Take two cupfuls of apricots, one-half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of lemon juice and the whites of two eggs. Wash and soak the apricots. Cook in the same water until soft. Remove stones and rub through a sieve. Add sugar and cook five minutes. Beat the whites of the eggs until stiff and fold them into the apricot pulp when it is cold. Add lemon juice. Bake in a buttered baking dish for twenty minutes. Serve with cream or custard sauce. "Go forth this day with the smallest expectations, but with the largest patience, with a keen relish for and appreciation of everything beautiful, great and good, but with a temper so genial that the friction of the world shall not bear upon your sensibilities." For a cake out of the ordinary, try one made from the following recipe: Lightning Cake.—Cream a half cupful of shortening, gradually, with half a cupful of sugar, four beaten egg yolks, three tablespoonfuls of milk and one cupful of sifted flour, with a teaspoonful of baking powder. Spread the mixture in a shallow pan and over it spread the frosting whose recipe is given below; dredge with sugar and cinnamon, and bake thirty minutes. For serving, cut in strips about two inches long and one inch wide. Frosting for Lightning Cake.—Beat four egg whites very light, gradually add three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and a half cupful of blanched and shredded almonds. Spread on the uncooked cake dough and sprinkle with one tablespoonful of sugar mixed with half a teaspoonful of cinnamon. Rhubarb and Raisin Jelly.—Cook three dozen large, choice raisins in boiling water to cover, until tender. Add more water if needed. Cook until tender two cupfuls of rhubarb cut in small bits, with one cupful of sugar; shake the pan to keep the pieces unbroken. Soften two tablespoonfuls of gelatine in half a cupful of cold water, then add the raisins and hot liquid to dissolve the gelatine; add rhubarb and turn into a mold. When cold and firm, serve unmolded with whipped cream. There should be a scant quart of material, counting the water in which the gelatine was softened. Baked Ham.—Take a slice of ham two inches thick, parboll in water to nearly cover. Remove the ham to a baking pan, spread with brown sugar and mustard, using a teaspoonful of mustard to two tablespoonfuls of sugar. Add the water from the pan, and baste occasionally. Bake until well browned. Coconut Oil Milkshake TABLE DAINTIES. Cake Stand E HEN NET There's folks that chide their neighbors.

With eggs at the price they are it does not seem economy to use them in any quantity, but with food combinations two or three eggs will supply the protein needed, yet make an inexpensive main dish. # Eggs and Dried Beef Scrambled.—Chop fine half a cupful of dried beef. Melt two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat in an omelet pan. Add the chopped meat, three-fourths of a cupful of tomato, a teaspoonful of scraped onion or a bit of juice, half a teaspoonful of salt and a few grains of paprika; stir until hot, then add three beaten eggs and cook until the eggs are creamy throughout. Serve on squares of buttered toast or with baked potatoes. Meat Loaf.—Put through a food chopper one pound of veal steak, half a pound of beef from the top of the round and one-fourth of a pound of cooked ham. Mix well, add two eggs beaten light, a teaspoonful of salt, a dash of paprika, two tablespoonfuls of chicken fat, two milk crackers rolled fine, onion juice, chopped parsley or Worcestershire sauce; shape into a loaf. Make a depression in the center and set in end for end two hard cooked eggs, removed from the shell. Cover the eggs in the loaf and place in a baking pan. Baste with hot fat and bake two hours. Serve hot or cold with a saucer made in the pan. Codfish Balls.—Put hot boiled potrotes through a ricer, enough to make two cupfuls. Have ready one cupful of salt codfish, picked very fine, covered with cold water; beat slowly until the water is milky; then drain and dry in cloth. Mix the potato, fish, a tablespoonful of butter, paprika and a teaspoonful of onion Juice. Beat with a wooden spoon until light and fluffy. Shape in balls, roll in egg, mixed with three tablespoonfuls of cold water, then in soft sifted crumbs. Fry in deep fat. If the balls are made the day before and left uncovered they will cook better.

It will not take long to freeze and this saves using a large freezer when a small amount is needed. One of the Thousand Isle Dressings. —Take half a cupful each of oil oil and lemon juice, one tablespoonful of grated onion, half a cupful of orange juice, three teaspoonfuls of minced parsley, eight olives chopped fine, eight cooked chestnuts also chopped, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, a dash of paprika and one-fourth teaspoonful of mustard. Shake in a mason jar until well blended. Combination Salad.—Cut a small tomato into quarters or eighths leaving the sections together at the stem end. Arrange on lettuce and heap over this a tablespoonful of chopped celery, a quarter of a thinly sliced pear and the tapering end of a banana, which may be placed in the center of the salad. Mix with boiled dressing and heap the minced and sliced mixture around the center. Shake a bit of paprika on the point of the banana and serve. A few grapes, skinned and seeded, may take the place of the pear or both may be added. The combination of flavor is especially pleasing with a mild salad dressing, enriched with whipped cream. Beans and Bacon.—Take one can of tender string beans, drain and season well. Cut up two slices of bacon in small bits and fry until brown. Remove the bacon to the dish of beans and fry one small chopped onion in the hot fat; when the onion is well cooked, add the beans and when well mixed with the fat, add enough sharp hot vinegar to season well. Serve hot with frankfurter sausage. WESTERN BEEF CO. Chitterlings, Pig Tails, Snouts, Ears, Pigs Feet, Neck Noses, Spare Ribs Received Fresh Daily. Meats of All Kinds..

WELCOME 1920—WHAT WILL IT MEAN TO THE NEGRO? DENVER makes her bow to the arrival of 1920, and we welcome another year of the Twentieth Century. But we are compelled to address ourselves to the members of our race, as with the tremendous difficulties that surround us we at times question the integrity of our national leaders when they remain passively, or for the most part, unconcerned about the welfare of our side of the American nation. We agree with the words of Governor Oliver H. Shoup of our state in his New Year message, "The Welding of the Nation," when, among other things, he says: "The best material with which to weld the nation into a grand unit with a single superlative purpose in view, is the spirit of optimism, the cheerful constructive spirit that sees in our native land the one supreme opportunity for the accomplishment of the greatest good to the greatest number and some good to all; the spirit that jubilantly declares, 'It is a joy to live in the U. S. A., it is a privilege to live in Colorado, it is a blessing to live in Denver or Colorado Springs or Pueblo, or any of the splendid municipalities in the state, etc.'" But while we admit this expression of our governor, yet our cause—the Negro's cause—extends beyond the confines of Colorado, as we seem to fill a classified role, in which as a whole we hardly get "the crumbs that fall from the master's table," and in asking what will 1920 mean to the Negro, we feel our answer is correct when we with emphasis assert that a unity of action will take place as never before in our history. Not to be content with the blessings of Colorado for the mere handful of us that are here, but to so weld ourselves into the Negro Race, its progress, its development, the handicaps and almost insurmountable barriers that con- front us, so that the Colorado as well as the Texas Negro, the New York Negro as well as the Californian, and the great throng of Negroes will, as other races, become deeply interested in one another for the greatest good individually as well as collectively. May the year 1920 bring to us this great good for which we have long sought and toiled. CREED WE BELIEVE in God as the Creator and Father of all mankind. We believe in the Brotherhood of mankind. We believe in the teachings of the Good Christ that all things shall finally work out for our good. We believe that our form of government is the best form of government thus far devised by man. We believe in the union of the states. We believe that now it is time to have union of nations in order to establish permanent peace and good will in the world. We believe that a newspaper is a public institution and should not be used as a personal organ by the owner. We believe in law and order; and that no legislation should be enacted for any class of citizenship. We believe that in our country and under our constitution there is given the opportunity to develop the highest type of manhood. We believe that it should be the aim of press, pulpit and political leadership to make the citizens of our country live up to this great opportunity in civic work and moral worth.—Rocky Mountain News. And may we add that the BROTHERHOOD OF MANKIND as above referred to may embrace in a practical sense this time all races from the "blackest" appearing man in this country to the whitest, and all the intervening shades, as before the most critical period in this nation's history, NOW, it has purely been a theory, and people who happened to be of another hue than white, are not only deprived of their constitutional rights, but murdered, brutalized and shamed beyond comparison. The editor's creed is beautifully composed, and in our optimistic way we are inclined to think that 1920 begins an era of a better understanding and closer relationship in the various points of the above creed which will be adhered to by ALE AMERICANS at HEART. Let us all commit it to memory and the great benefits to be achieved will be greater than we can imagine. sentiments of all Denver when we say—"well done! good and faithful women." The mortgage document was held by Mrs. Isabel Stewart, president of the association, who applied the fire that consumed it, and wiped out forever the debt which was a sound and safe investment. Again, we congratulate our noble women. We doff our hats to the Negro Women's Clubs of Denver, Colorado who with their dogged determination and persistent efforts have paid the last dollar on the house and lots purchased not so long ago, for the benefit of helping the members of our race. This home has been felt in its usefulness as a Day Nursery, as well as affording accommodation to strangers arriving in our city, etc, and now that the women have launched such a worthy project and carried out so successfully the acquisition of unencumbered and undisturbed possession of their home at Twenty-Fouth avenue and Clarkson street. We know we are voicing the Our men and women should further interest themselves in this worthy cause and continue to give substantial help to the support and upkeep of this home. Right here can be found missionary work for our churches. SCOTT'S OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO IN THE WORLD WAR. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, EXCLUSIVE AGENTS, Room 25, 1824 Curtis St., Denver, Colo. P. O. Box 116. U. S. War Department Would Promote the Reorganization of National Guard U. S. War Department Would Promote the Reorganization of National Guard By NEWTON D. BAKER, Secretary of War In the present disturbed condition of the country there will doubtless arise, as there has in the past, the necessity for the use of organized force in the protection and the maintenance of law and order. PETER H. Our Constitution contemplates the use of federal forces for local or state purposes only when all other forces of the locality or state have been exhausted or have been found insufficient to meet the emergency, or when it is evident that such measures will prove inadequate. Then, and then only, should federal forces be called upon to handle the situation. In view of the above, and in order that an organized force may be provided which is suitable and available for the purposes herein touched upon, the attention of all governors and state authorities is invited to the fact that the national defense act of June 3, 1916, is still in force. The war department is in a position to furnish assistance to the National Guard formed under this law, and it is a matter of deep concern to the war department that so little progress has been made in the organization of the National Guard, which is so essential in the handling of internal problems by the state authorities. There appears to be a spirit of antagonism toward the organization of this local force, which it is impossible to reconcile with the patriotic duty and loyalty of the citizens and officers of our state government. It is requested that the authorities make a special effort to immediately organize throughout the United States the force known as the National Guard, under the act of June 3, 1916, and that every effort be made to overcome the spirit of antagonism to the National Guard which may be manifested within their states. Spiritually and Ethically the Modern Home Has Largely Disintegrated Spiritually and Ethically the Modern Home Has Largely Disintegrated By A. E. WEBSTER, Juvenile Protective Association The experience of the year 1919 of the Juvenile Protective association has demonstrated anew that, from a spiritual and ethical point of view, the modern home has largely disintegrated. This is due to the industrial revolution, which has taken the industrial processes out of the home into the factories, and which has called not only the fathers but in many instances the mothers and the children themselves out of the home into a manufacturing plant. It is due also to the decline of the external authority which has been witnessed in the church, in politics and in the home itself, so that no longer is there that rigid discipline and authority which used to be noticed in the American family. It is due also to the Americanization of the child of foreign-born parents, which has created a chasm between the child, with his American training, and his parents, with their European traditions, ideals and background, and which, in many cases, results in the development of contempt on the part of the child toward his parents. It is due, too, to poverty and bad housing. It may be due to the economic emancipation of women. Broad General Principle of Equality of Opportunity and a Fair Start Broad General Principle of Equality of Opportunity and a Fair Start All the world today is thinking of one and the same thing, the new social unrest. As the echoes of the war die away, the sound of a new conflict rises on the ear. The industrial world is filled with agitation. What does it all mean? Is the light in the sky the dawn of a brighter day, or is it the lurid glare that precedes the eruption of the volcano. The main aim of the writer is to estimate what is and what is not possible in social reform. The Utopia of the socialist he dismisses as a beautiful dream, impossible of realization in the world in which we live. But he repudiates as equally impossible for the future the worn-out doctrine of every man for himself. The syndicalist and the bolshevik the writer designates as the man with the bomb, threatening the disruption of society. The point of view taken leads toward the conclusion that the safety of the future lies in a progressive movement of social control, alleviating at least the misery it cannot obliterate, and based upon the broad general principle of equality of opportunity and a fair start. The chief immediate opportunities for social betterment, as the writer sees them, lie in the attempt to give every human being in childhood adequate food, clothing, education, and opportunity. This will prove the beginning of many things. "Have the British People Gone Mad Over Tobacco and Over Smoking?" The nation that smokes perishes. In the year 1917 the British people smoked 152,215,700 pounds of tobacco, costing the smokers approximately $497,690,000. Pipes and other appliances came to $22,684,000, making a total for the year of more than $520,000,000. The following year the amount increased to 164,838,800 pounds smoked, valued at $668,765,500, with pipes and appliances costing $23,-309,500. Has the nation gone mad over tobacco and over smoking? If the women of the nation become habitual smokers—as they are rapidly doing—what effect will it have on the future generation? The query is answered by the late Sir W. B. Richardson as follows: "If a community of youths of both sexes, whose progenitors were finely formed and powerful, were to be trained to the early practice of smoking and if marriage were to be confined to the smokers, an apparently new and physically inferior race of men and women would be bred." I call on the medical profession to face this formidable danger to the nation and warn women especially as to the injurious effects of tobacco smoking. O. A. D. & C.

Thomas Bean owner and chauffeur of automobile touring cars, got in collision at the corner of East Twenty-fifth avenue and Lafayette street last Sunday afternoon resulting in the death of a Mrs. Miller who was driving in her car with her husband and three children. Opinions vary as to whom the blame is to be attached, but an eye-witness, Frank S. Reed of the Douglas Undertaking Company feels that Mr. Bean is not to blame as he tried his best to avert the collision, but the driver of the other car seemed to have been puzzled as to what way she should go. Both cars turned over, Mrs. Miller being thrown out and crushing her skull on an electric post. We are very sorry that this should occur especially to Thomas Bean who is accredited by white and colored patrons of his car as being one of the most careful drivers of the city and in both city and mountain trips to various parts of the state has never met an accident, taking and bringing his passengers safely on the numerous trips he has made. Bean is charged with man slaughter, and according to some of the dailies may be further charged with murder, therefore in the interests of justice all person or persons who were on the scene when the accident happened ought to give their testimony voluntarily and if our man is not to blame then justice should take its course.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES. A splendid meeting was held at Shorter Church last Sunday afternoon at which President William E. Sweet of the City Association and General Secretary Ira E. Lute were the principal speakers. The music was led by the choir of the church. Mr. Sweet commended the work of the branch, and spoke highly of the patience which the people have displayed—a patience, he said, which did not move them to simply stand by and wait, but one which moved them to work while they waited. Mr. Lute also mentioned the quality of the work of the branch, and made the statement that shortly after the first of the year a move would be made for better and greater things for the branch. Several memberships were reported at the meeting, the greatest number being reported by Aristide Chapman, who turned in nine, the most of them being from among his own boy acquaintances. It was reported that the big drive was short of the 500 by ninety-six members. Within a very short while thirty-two men had volunteered to bring in three members each by the end of the year.

Enthusiasm and praise will mark the meeting from start to finish.

A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer. "Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I could have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality." The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then said: "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here." MORAL—ADVERTISE By Katharine Eggleston Roberts. I've never been in your home and, of course, I know there are no others just like it. Similar? Yes, but there's a difference, you know. Consequently, I'm not going to say anything more about your home; I'm going to talk of their homes and you may draw the comparison for yourself if you want to. There are three kinds of homes in Belgium, the one in the comparatively undestroyed city that the German tried to keep for himself; the home in the shelled and fired village, and the home in No Man's Land. Oh, yes, there are homes there. But wait, we cannot be omnipresent; we must visit one place at a time. This city looks pretty well, doesn't it? A building once stood in place of those signboards, but, unless you look at the plaster hanging to the adjacent houses you would never know. Things have been cleaned up quite thoroughly since that happened at the beginning of the war. Except to a few people, those boards talk only of the things they advertise. There's the house to which we are going—that one where the painter is working on the door. Queer, isn't it, how all of the houses look alike here?—narrow, of white plaster with a sharp pointed roof. This door is like all the other doors, too. It has the same sort of dents made by butts of German guns demanding entrance; the same kind of misfitting wooden letter slot to replace the copper one the Germans took; the same pattern of ugly iron door handle substituting for the old one of bronze. That is why the painter is hired, even if necessities must be sacrificed, to paint over that letter slot so that it won't speak so eloquently, to cover those shrieking scars, to hide the misery of the people behind the locked doors of their homes. So far you have seen only one side of the door—the outside. But the people are expecting us and we go into the drawing room. You must not notice that the doors have no knobs. They were brass and are now sojourning in Germany. Did you ever get a warmer welcome? I doubt it. As we sip our coffee there is so much laughter and joking that you scarcely notice the faded places on the wall where the now-despelled family portraits' and other valuable pic THE BATTLE OF THE BAY OF FORTS Work of the Men Who Wore Spiked Helmets. tures hung. But though she laughs, Madame van Bree has not forgotten that her mattresses, her linen and her copper kitchen utensils are keeping company with doorknobs in Germany. We quit the city and, as we walk up the street of a fire-eaten village, we wonder at the number of people hurrying about. Where do they live? For the most part only crumbling shells of houses line the roadway. But, swinging from the yawning doors of these wrecks, are signs which startle us, "Colfeur," "Cafe," and others. Through a hole in a front wall we step into a roofless building. After walking between heaps of debris we reach a little two-roomed home made from bricks that fell when the front of the house crashed in. There again we see the sign, "Cafe." Within, a tall woman in a white cap and blue apron bustles about the neat, bare room, preparing coffee and pouring beer for the customers. Over in the corner an old woman sits making lace. Her faded eyes are weary of seeing a world of chaos and they elong to the lace for solace. She can weave what pictures she wants into the lace. As we wander through the village we find that almost everybody is living in a house that is at least half destroyed. But the people we meet chuckle and say, "You should have seen us six months ago. This is really palatial now and we are fat compared to what we were then. Have you seen our dance platform?" "Dances!" you gasp. "Do you have them here?" We are shown the wooden floor in the cleared basement of a shattered factory. "We must dance and make merry. It is not good to be always sad. One cannot work so well to recover," explains a youngster who was in army. But how can so many people live in such small homes? They can because they must. The more fortunate ones must make room for those who have not been left even the bricks of their walls. And now we are reaching No Man's Land. Truly the name describes it. As we enter that desolate, deep-pitted waste, cluttered with splintered bayonets, broken guns and grinning skulls, we pass a tiny building made of odds and ends of sheetiron and on it the owner, who possesses a grim sense of humor, has painted "Tank Cafe—Beer, Wine and Ale Sold Here." We make our way gingerly among the shells that lie about, for sometimes, you know, some of them are only camouflaging as duds and, when disturbed, voice their protest in a loud explosion. The mutilated, leafless gray trees look like ghosts. Often we find beneath them a few crosses and we INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE All That Was Left. meet a man and woman who stop to look at each cross. Will they find the one they are seeking? The poppies that grow in the shell-holes are crimson with the blood that ran over Flanders—dream flowers, filled with the dreams of heroes sleeping where they grow. But we must hurry. There in the distance you see a few mounds. They are houses newly erected by those who returned to find their town obliterated. But what queer things they are! Some are made of bags filled with hardened dirt. A man smiles as he sees your curiosity. "Bags of earth they brought for their dugouts," he explains. "We THE RIVER IS BROKEN. call them 'the little Fatherlands,' and his smile grows into a broad grim. Other dome-shaped houses are built of sheets of corrugated iron taken from the debris. One of these, larger than the others, is a church. Finally we find people living in the old dugouts. They live? Well, exist, if you prefer the word, but really they live. Their furniture is only scraps. From their plowing they reap a harvest of glaring skulls and rotting tunics. But, in spite of it all, they have their kermess, their merrymaking and, out of old cartridges, the children with hungry eyes make whistles on which to play tunes. These are the homes of Belgium; these are the people of Belgium, struggling to lift their homes out of the ruins. It will be long before the weak grass that grows in the shell-holes is bright, sturdy green; it will be long before Belgium can rest. But the world is wrong if it believes that the black-draped, drooping, supplicating figure it calls "Belgium" in its pagesage is a true representation. Belgium is weary with war, weak with starvation, heartstick with sorrow. The old Belgium cannot live. But Belgium does not beg. Belgium does not supplicate. Out on the travail on Flanders' fields a new Belgium was born. It has thrived in privation, stiffened through suffering. It lives and makes its home among the ruins. It laughs and dances where the world may see it; it sobs alone when none are near to hear. The war is not over for Belgium; the fight of peace must be won. On the wreck of the shattered past the future must be met. The fight will be long, the fight will be hard, but victory is sure, for the spirit of free Belgium lives. It works, it laughs, it dances on the ruins. --- RAILROADS TO SPEND BILLIONS PRESIDENT ELLIOTT MAKES STRONG STATEMENT ON RAIL CONDITIONS. NEED IMPROVEMENTS TRANSPORTATION MUST BE BROUGHT UP TO MEET NATION'S NEEDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 2.—Three billion dollars must be spent by the railroads of the United States "within the next few years to provide first class passenger and freight facilities," was a declaration made by Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific railroad, who came from New York for conferences with prominent railroad officials. "Difficult and serious as is the plight of the railroads, and of the owners of $20,000,000,000 worth of railroad property, it is not more serious than the condition facing the country," said Mr. Elliott. "Transportation facilities must, be made available not only for the present volume of business, but for the increases that a progressive\nation like the United States needs each year. "Since the government took control only 100,000 new freight cars have been bought, so that at the end of 1919 there were not more than 3,400,000 freight cars in the country—slightly more than in 1915. It is not too much to say that probably $3,000,000,000 should be spent for cars, engines and shop facilities by American railroads within the next few years if the country's transportation needs are to be met." Mr. Elliott did not make any announcement regarding reports circulated in railroad quarters here that the leading roads of the country were planning to make important statements regarding broadened passenger services when private ownership is restored. There have been reports that schedules to the Pacific, via various routes, are to be shortened, and that trains de luxe and extra fare trains will be put into service. Big Raid on Reds. Chicago.—Raids resulting in the arrest of 200 or more Industrial Workers of the World, Communists and other radicals were carried out here under the direction of State's Attorney Hoyne. The prosecutor asserted that daily in Chicago members of radical organizations addressed meetings urging their hearers to "await the one big day," and that their purpose was nothing less than overthrow of the government. Mr. Hoyne declared that the I. W. W., the communist party and the communist labor party members and anarchists and syndicalists were distributing tons of seditious literature. Disturbance Leaders Released. London.—Leaders of disturbances last April at Amritsar, in the Banjab district of British India, in which a large number of natives were reported killed, have been released from Jail at Lahore, according to advices received here. Planning Direct Appeal. New York.—Thousands of radicals from all parts of the country are planning a descent on the White House lawn on Feb. 12, Lincoln's birthday, to appeal to President Wilson for the release of "political prisoners" from penitentiaries. Urge Friendship Between Nations. Washington.—The relationship between Japan and the United States is "in considerable danger" and it is urgently necessary that the relations between the two countries be placed on a more amicable basis than at present, in the opinion of M. Yada, Japanese consul-general at New York, who is now on leave in Japan, according to advices from Tokio. Death Rate Broken. Chicago.—The year 1919 recorded the lowest death rate in Chicago's history, the annual report of the health department disclosed. The rate for 359 days reviewed was 12.76 to reach thousand of population. The report showed that there had been no recurrence of the influenza epidemic of a year ago. Thieves Get Gold and Platinum. Perth Amboy, N. J.—Platinum and gold worth $75,000 is missing from the plant of the Oressler & Hasslacher Chemical Company as the result of a daring burglary. The safe in which the small fortune had been placed was found drilled and its contents gone. No "Disorderly" Arrests. New York.—While New Year eva was "wet" for New Yorkers who had their own sources of supply, it was not wet enough to lead tipperiers into the protecting arms of the law. There were fewer arraignments for intoxication in the police courts than ever before on "the day after." Magistrates were amazed at the dearth of offenders on the first prohibition New Year.

THE WINTER COAT The season has brought out a great tanny matched sets made up of collar and muff, with hat to match, or neckpiece and muff with cuffs or bag to match, or simply of neckpiece and muff. The selection of articles in the set depends upon the character of the fur or the fur fabric used and the individual taste of the wearer, and fur fabrics have made an exercise of individual taste much less difficult than it used to be, for the difficulties in sewing and matching furs are eliminated where fur fabrics are used. marvelous fur fabrics that are glory of the looms. We have become accustomed to fabrics that deceive the eye, and them as a matter of course. In kiel the mimicry of nature goes be the surface, for the pile has a brown is glimpsed through the brow when the pile is down, after the manner of great and mighty nature in pelts of animals. Pattern maker all the standard pattern concerns a wide patterns for neckpieces and c and retail shops carry muff beds Matched sets will interest the woman who likes garments that are out of the ordinary and that will reflect her own taste, as well as the thrifty ones who wish to make over garments that have outlasted the styles in which they were made. The handsome and rich-looking set shown above, whose deep cuffs help to make it so cozy-looking, presents no difficulties that the average needlewoman will fear to face, even if a fur is used for it. In a fur fabric it is easy sailing for the home dressmaker. This set is made of keratin, one of the most beautiful of those Pretty Things Made of Ribbon ```markdown ``` Bra and Hat There are such enticing things on display at the ribbon counters that one would like to photograph all of them and divide the joy of looking at them with many other people. But there are articles enough to fill a book, so only the most attractive and practical can be selected for the brief space allotted the picture in a newspaper article and a series of pictures is needed to present examples of the many different sorts of things made of ribbons. There are so many kinds of bags that this one theme is inexhaustible. Next in importance come ribbons in lingerie, both for making and adorning garments, then hair bows and then household articles, pillows, picture frames, boxes and things of that kind. But these divisions do not include everything useful and ornamental made of ribbon. In the picture above, two camisoles, a breakfast cap, and a lingerie bow are shown, with a carriage band and a celluloid rattle held by a narrow shirred ribbon, for the baby. The camisoles are among the simplest of those displayed, in many of which lace plays a role as important as ribbon. A very wide ribbon in light weight and colored taffeta is used for the camisole shown at the left of the group. One must take a length equal to one and a fourth times the bust measure for making this model, finishing one edge with an insertion and edging of lace and the other with casing for a flat elastic band. The insertion and edging are joined by a marvelous fur fabrics that are the glory of the looms. We have become accustomed to fur fabrics that deceive the eye, and take them as a matter of course. In keramil the mimicry of nature goes below the surface, for the pile has a bronze background below its black tip. The brown is glimpsed through the black when the pile is down, after the manner of great and mighty nature in the pelts of animals. Pattern makers in all the standard pattern concerns provide patterns for neckpieces and cuffs, and retail shops carry muff beds already lined, in various sizes and shapes, for the convenience of those who undertake the making of sets at home. Kerumi resembles broadtail—a fur that shares honors with enamine and able for elegance—and excels all others in dignity. It has a glossy surface, reflecting the light unequally, according to the direction of the hairs (or "pile" in a fabric), affording an incomparably beautiful play of light and shadow. Owing to its origin many women are averse to wearing it, but the manufactured fur fabric relieves one from qualus of conscience. 1 narrow beading which carries a length of baby ribbon that serves to gather up the top of the camisole and adjust it to the figure. The shoulder straps are simply lengths of narrow taffeta or satin ribbon; usually satin is used for these. In the camisole at the right a wide satin ribbon is edged with a broad band of fine white net, doubled and sewed to the ribbon at one edge. A row of stitching in the net, near the top edge, forms a casing which carries a very narrow satin ribbon that serves to draw the camisole up and ties in a flat bow with two long ends at the front. These ends terminate in little bows. The same narrow ribbon serves for shoulder straps with small bows on the shoulders. Satin ribbon laid in single box plaits, forms the breakfast cap pictured. Plain ribbon is sewed to the plaiting along one edge and gathered at the center to form the crown, where a little bow is posed. Little ribbon flowers set close together make a pretty finish and satin ribbon forms the long bridle that hang from the sides of the cap. Narrow satin ribbon is used for making the lingerie bow and is shirred over flat elastic for the baby carriage band. To join the rattle to the little wrist band that holds it, it is merely shirred. --- HEARD and SEEN at the CAPITAL Finances Bulk Large in the Halls of Congress WASHINGTON.—The billion-dollar congresses of ordinary peace times were dwarfed when Secretary Glass, presenting the annual estimates to congress, proposed appropriations of practically $5,000,000,000 for the government congress. One item which has appeared perennially in estimates without ever becoming actuality, appears again this year with promise of being taken seriously. It is an estimate of $287,500,000 toward a sinking fund which ultimately is to retire the public debt. No appreciable reduction in taxes for the next fiscal year is to be thought of. Secretary Glass declared in his annual report. Government receipts must be kept at their present figures, he said, in order to bring government borrowing to an end. Demand for the utmost economy in government expenditures was made in the senate by both Republican and Democratic leaders. Chairman Warren of the senate appropriations committee said the time has come to "shut the gates entirely on new requisitions, new departments and new commissions." Senator Smoot, Republican, Utah, said congress would not provide the money required in the estimates, adding that several senators had agreed to talk bills to death if necessary. American Farmer Leads the World, Says Houston American Farmer Leads the World, Says Houston THE American farmer leads the world in individual production of crops. Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture asserts in his annual report. While countries such as Belgium, under intensive farming, get a than the average annual output during the five-year period preceding the European war. The aggregate value of all crops this year is placed at $15,773,000,000, as compared with $14,222,000,000 in 1918. Live stock on farms this year was figured at $8,830,000,000, as against $8,284,000,000 in 1918. Estimates in the report put the 1919 wheat production at 918,471,000 bushels and corn at 2,910,250,000 bushels. Cotton is expected to reach 10,696,000 bales and tobacco 1,316,553,000 pounds. Included in Mr. Houston's recommendations are the following: The building up, primarily under state law, of a system of personal credit unions, for farmers whose financial status and operation make it difficult to secure accommodations through the ordinary channels; expansion of facilities for aiding in marketing, especially extension of the market news and food products inspection services; continuation of federal participation in road building through an appropriation of $100,000,000 for each of the next four years; regulation and control of stock yards and packing houses; federal legislation to protect consumers against adulterated feeds and fertilizers; increased state support for rural schools and more definite instruction as to rural problems and conditions; legislation to improve rural sanitary conditions and provide hospital and medical facilities. All Aboard for Mars, Says a Russian Scientist HUSBANDS suffering from ennui or other persons whose worldly cares cause them to seek the seclusion of utterly new surroundings, take heart. There's a way out. How would you like to spend an otherwise hard winter on Mars? "There would be a few dangers in such interplanetary travel," he declares, "such as bumping into meteors, but a keen-eyed pilot would soon become an adept in overcoming such obstacles. Professor Bothezat also is working on a machine that will climb to an attitude of 40 or 50 miles and then fly without fuel. This can be done, he says, by utilizing the atmosphere at this height, which has the exact proportion of hydrogen and oxygen to produce combustion. The passengers would travel in a fuselage constructed on the thermos-bottle idea. $40,000,000 Water-Power Tunnel for Palestine ANORWEGIAN engineer has devised a plan to provide water and electric power for Palestine at an initial cost of $40,000,000. Albert Hjorth of Christania proposes to utilize the variation of the level between the Mediter- would transform the water power into electricity, to be distributed as light and power through the country. This power would be used to drive a pumping station at the southern end of the sea of Galilee. The surface of the Dead sea is about 1,300 feet below sea level; that of the sea of Galilee 650 feet below sea level. Preliminary estimates, Mr. Hjorth states, show that tens of thousands of horse power might be developed in this way by means of a tunnel carrying 20 tons of water per second. He estimates the rise of the Dead sea caused by this at not more than part of a yard per year. The surface of the sea, which is now about 4,000 square miles, would be allowed to increase to about 4,800 square miles. Two canals would be built running parallel with the River Jordan, and from these canals water could be distributed among the fields sloping toward the Jordan sufficient, it is claimed, for the irrigation of many hundreds of thousands of acres. It is proposed to send out a Norwegian technic-scientific expedition which, with the anticipated support of the governments of the great powers interested, will proceed to Palestine and make a year's thorough investigation of all the conditions reactive to the realization of this project. buring the fiscal year 1921. According to these figures it will cost more than five times as much to conduct the peace-times affairs of government as it did in the year immediately preceding the world war. The greatest individual estimates for expenditures, of course, go to the army and navy. The yearly interest in the war debt, however, is $1,017,-500,000, which sum alone is greater than all the appropriations for all purposes whatsoever of any peace-time congress. One item which has appeared becoming actuality, appears again the seriously. It is an estimate of $287,500 namely is to retire the public debt.
