OUR TERRITORY: COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY DECLARATIONS OF THE 29TH ANNUAL TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONFERENCE Tuskegee, Alabama, January 21, 1920 VOL. XXVI. THE world has just gone through a most unusual year. Though it has been a year of nominal peace, it has been filled with anxieties, unrest, disturbances and strife. Our own country has suffered from agitation, protests, strikes and mob violence. The South is that section of the country which was freest from organized disorder and veiled attacks against the government and society. This is due in no small measure to the fact that the masses of laborers in the South are Negroes, to whom love of country is dominant. Contrary to anxious and suggestive prediction, thousands of Negro soldiers returned during the year from patriotic service in foreign countries, and quietly went to work in the Southland, despite the fact that this meant for them, returning to conditions often the very opposite of those they had fought to establish for men across the seas. These men have lost none of their augmented desire for freedom, justice, and fair play; but they have the courage and faith to work patiently and peaceably toward those ends right here in the South. With their attitude this conference is in sympathy and accord. And, we would encourage colored people everywhere in their splendid, unshaken loyalty to their country and to their communities. South Must Raise More Livestock. We would also urge our people to continue to profit by the lessons of industry and thrift so effectively taught by war conditions, and to keep up the increased impetus to acquire homes and farms. But, we would remind them that, in order to make these farms yield their greatest returns, they must intensify their farming and practice diversification which in recent years has proved so great a benefit to the South. And especially does this conference urge farmers to grow sufficient food for their families and feed for their stock, and to raise more and better poultry, hogs, and cattle. And the rapidly increasing importance of Montgomery, Alabama, Atlanta, Georgia, and other places as leading stock markets, ought in itself to encourage Southern farmers in growing of live stock in greater numbers. The War's Great Lesson. This conference also suggests that the greatly increased value of farm products and the better wages which colored men are now enjoying, should result in better homes and schools and churches. Living conditions must be greatly improved among our people, if they would lay a sure foundation for future progress. And even with better homes, there can be no assured or abiding progress without a decided increase in intelligence among the masses of colored people. The war revealed an appalling amount of ignorance and consequent inefficiency among the Negroes of the South. This lesson should not be lost upon us. The Negro must be educated, or he will be able neither to serve himself effectively nor any one else. Colored people must awake to the fact that less than two-thirds of their children are enrolled in the schools even in such states as Alabama and Virginia, not to mention the less favored communities. And, of those enrolled, fewer than one-half are in school every day of the brief school terms. In this connection the conference urges upon school boards the importance of giving a larger and fairer share of the public funds to Negro schools to the end that they may have larger and better facilities for the training of Negro youth in intelligence and efficiency. The South has in the Negro, not only an enviable amount of tractable and potentially capable laborers, but a group of citizens thoroughly American, who are eager to make their best contribution to the life and spirit of the nation, but in order to give their richest and best they should be encouraged to achieve their highest possible development. The conference suggests to planters that they offer more favorable renting conditions to Negro tenants, that they make regularly stated settlements, and that they provide more comfortable and attractive homes. Far too many of the plantation houses are no better today than they were in the lean years forty years ago. And we call upon all people, who rent or supply in any way houses for Negroes, to furnish them better homes with more sanitary surroundings, that Negroes may have a chance to live and rear their families in decency and in health. Better Railroad Accommodations Asked—Lynching Deplored. The conference wishes to re-affirm its opposition to the discrimination practiced against Negroes by railroads and other common carriers. This discrimination is unnecessary and unfair. There is an indefensible injustice in charging Negroes first-class fares and providing them with third and fourth-class accommodations. This conference believes in law and order, and asks for Negroes only what the courts above other agencies should give—impartial justice. If Negroes commit crimes they should be punished by the courts and not by mobs. We especially deplore lynchings, and we restate what is apparently too little known and seldom regarded, that rape is not even the alleged cause of 80 per cent of the lynchings. We insist that better and fairer methods must be used for adjusting so many of the ordinary differences arising between man and man, than lynching and the subsequent terrorizing of a whole people. Nothing is doing more to drive the Negro out of the South. Lynching is the cure for nothing. It merely creates further disregard for law and order. This conference believes that the best methods of meeting the difficulties that arise between the races in any community is to bring together the leaders of the two races in conference. And we call upon the white and colored people in every community to co-operate and help make the South what it should and can be made—the finest example in the world of people of different races living together in mutual respect, helpful cooperation and peace. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 31, 1920 EMANCIPATION ADDRESS DELIVERED BY FIELD SECRETARY THOMAS OF THE NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE DENMARK, S. C.—"The National Urban League has program for a second Emancipation of the American Negro," declared Jesse O. Thomas, before an audience of several thousand white and colored people at Denmark, S. C., on January 1. Citizens of Bamburg county heard an Emancipation address by Field Secretary Thomas of the National Urban League, who described the conditions under which Negroes have lived since Emancipation; the handicaps and positions they have struggled to overcome; the proscriptions, legislative and otherwise, and humiliations they have encountered; the substantial progress and achievements they have wrought in the past; and outlined a definite program for greater progress and achievements for the future. Referring to the great transformation through which the Negro race has passed, the speaker said: "We went into slavery without a language; we came out speaking the proud Anglo-Saxon tongue. We went into slavery pagans; we came out Christians. We went into slavery with chains about our wrists; we came out within our hands the American ballot. We went into slavery numbering twenty savages; we came out numbering four and one-half million patriotic American citizens. No race has undergone greater transformation in all history. No race has suffered more humiliations, insults and indignities and remained hopeful and optimistic than the black man. As Dunbar put it: 'No other race, white or black, When bound as thou wert to the rack, So seldom stooped to grieving; No other race when free again Forgot the past and proved them men So noble and forgiving.' SOME INJUSTICES. "From the year 1885 to 1918 inclusive, there were 2,881 members of our race lynched, mobbed and burned without a trial of judge or jury. A large number of these were women, several of whom were shortly to become mothers. We have been subjected on inadequate traveling accommodations. We have been given third-class accommodation after paying first-class fare. Our educational facilities have been inferior. Where the schools for other races have been open from seven to nine months in the year, schools for our boys and girls have been open from three to five months in the year. Where there has been $17 per capita spent for children of other groups, $2.98 has been spent for our children. "The National Constitution provides that a government shall derive its just powers from the consent of the governed, yet we are denied a voice in the government we are compelled to obey, whose laws we have no part in the making. We have been handicapped with poverty and ignorance, the two greatest handicaps any people can suffer. And yet in spite of all of these difficulties, we have made marvelous progress in all of these fundamental directions. PROGRESS OF RACE. "Beginning in 1865 homeless, today we have 600,000 buildings we call homes. From 20,000 farms in 1866 we have increased to 1,000,000 in 1919. From 2,100 businesses in 1866 we have grown where we operate 50,000 businesses,at present. Our wealth has increased from $20,000,000 in 1866 to $1,100,000,000. We have reduced our illiteracy from 90 per cent in 1866 to 20 per cent in 1919. We had 100,000 in the public schools in 1866; we have 1,800,000 at the present time. We had 700 churches in 1866; today we have 43,000. We had 600,000 communicants in 1866; at present we have 4,800,000. Our church property has increased from $1,500,000 in 1866 to $85,900,000 in 1919. From two newspaper in 1863 to 450 at the present time. The Negro contributed approximately 400,000 of his man power toward the prosecution of the war and more than $200,000,000 of his earnings that the world might be made safe for democracy and, as he supposed, that America might be made safe for his race. These contributions of this concrete nature made in the spirit of generosity and patriotism as characterize the conduct of the American Negro, ought to entitle him to every consideration on the part of the State and National Government that are accorded every other American citizen. This, however, is not true in actual practice. "We must conclude that thrift, industry, patriotism and loyalty as such so far as our racial group is concerned will not solve our problem in this country. The National Urban League its program and policy of operation offers the other element necessary to put our program across: contact and toleration. It brings both races together on a social welfare program asks the one to forget that he was once the master, asks the other to forget that he was once the slave and asks them to remember only so far as each other is concerned that God has placed us here together to work out our destiny side by side, and that it is the duty of sane members of both groups to show how this can best be done for the mutual well being of all concerned. WHAT THE RACE MUST DO. "In order to justify our demands for these things there are certain things that we ourselves must do in the future in a larger measure than we have ever done in the past. We must continue to buy homes and land and increase our economic and financial influence that we may become a greater commercial factor in the Nation. We must encourage the fruits and possibilities of organized capital. We must seek to improve the condition of our soil, buildings, the condition under which we live and work and our own efforts, wherever it is not done by other agencies, that we may have a healthy and happy environment in which to live and rear our children. We must discourage idleness and shiftlessness, vice and crime, and encourage respect for law and order. We must co-operate with the school and other public officials in reducing illiteracy. We must support and encourage our white friends who are trying conscientiously and earnestly to make OCEAN-TO-OCEAN CONFERENCES CLOSED WITH ENTHUSIASTIC REPUBLICAN MEET IN CITY OVERLOOKING GOLDEN GATE the South a better place for all of us to live in. We must insist upon ability, vision, courage and sterling integrity as requisites for leadership." two-days' conference in San Francisco, with all the West's enthusiasm for whatever it undertakes, closed the ocean-to-ocean conference which the Republican National Committee has been holding, and the men and women who met in the western city included leaders in politics from California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Nevada and Arizona. Thirteen Arizona delegates came 1,000 miles to be present. Each one of the states in the region sent their national committeeman and state chairmen and state chairwomen, accompanied by other interested Republicans. Woman's part in the coming campaign was discussed at an afternoon meeting in the Palace hotel ballroom presided over by Miss Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of the executive committee of the women's division of the Republican National Committee. "The Republican women of the West, who have had the ballot some time, must form the backbone of the women's section of the party in this campaign," said Miss Hay. "The western women are capable of doing everything we expect of them; and judging from the splendid spirit shown in the conference just held in Denver and here on the coast, we are going to swing the women of America into the Republican victory of 1920." Mr. Will H. Hays, chairman of the National Committee, fired the keynote gun of the meeting with the statement that if suffrage becomes national by next November, as he expects it will be, 14,000,000 women will be added to the voting strength of the country. The full effect of this can be imagined, he said, when it is known that the total vote cast by the Republican party in 1916 was only 8,000,000. Mr. Hays emphasized the necessity of cultivating these new voters and seeing that they are given their early political education in Republicanism. "That is why we have come to California and to the other old suffrage states," said Mr. Hays. "We want to learn how your campaigns were conducted in the past for the votes of women. We are not coming here to teach but to learn. The message we must carry to the men and women of this country is that if we are to bring back the constitution, if we are to stop socialism, make an effort to lessen the burden of taxation, if we are to develop capital and labor, with a watchful eye always to the third party in the triangle, the public; if we are to make certain the maintenance of law and order; if we are to preserve our representative form of government; if we are to do all these things, the only way it can be accomplished is by an overwhelming and complete Republican victory next November. What we need in this country is not less politics but more attention to politics, and I want to assure you there will be no closed season in Republican politics from now until victory in November." NO.16 The meeting was presided over by the Rev, O. J. McPherson and was held under the auspices of the fraternal and religious organizations. The same feeling of optimism prevailed in the other addresses, and every state chairman who spoke declared the prospects for a Republican victory were never brighter. Men and women leaders were cautioned, however, that they must not relax their efforts for the party and its principles, for it is they who really swing the tide of battle. "It is you upon whom we much rely for success," said Mrs. John Glover South, chairman of the Women's Division, speaking before one of the conferences. "We of the State Committee and the National Committee are not the ones who win the battles. We are like the generals who are safe behind the lines where shells don't fall—necessarily, perhaps, but not the ones who win campaigns. You men and women on the fighting front are responsible." Other members of the National Committee who spoke were Mrs. M. H. McCarter, Mrs. Josephine C. Preston, Mrs. C. A. Severance. 16,000 RESENT LYNCHING—QUIT WHITE INSURANCE COMPANY. ST. LOUIS, Mo., Jan. 17.—How 16,000 colored people withdrew from a white insurance company at one time in revenge for the lynching of two colored men, was told by Bishop John Hurst before the A. M. E. ministers' meeting Monday. Bishop Hurst returned from visits to the A. M. E. conferences in Florida. In Jacksonville recently two colored men killed were said to have stabbed a white man to death after an all-day's gambling, in which the latter won most of the money. The two men, said the bishop, were put in jail and that night when a crowd of lynchers gathered, a crowd of colored people also gathered to prevent violence. Seeing that the colored population meant to uphold the law with their lives, if necessary, the mayor and police treated with them and promised protection to the two men provided the colored crowd would go home. The crowd went home, and no lynching took place. A week later, on a rainy night, friends of the murdered white man, who were found out to be agents of an insurance company in which the dead man worked, broke into jail and lynched the two suspected colored men, afterwards dragging their victims through the town. Incensed beyond all measure, 16,000 colored folk, who were members of this white insurance company, withdrew from the company and put to flight insurance agents when they called to collect money. Loss of so many thousands of dollars aroused prominent white men, who had the mayor call colored leaders to a conference, in which he spoke of the necessity of colored people dealing with their white friends. Not to be moved by false arguments, ten of the leading men of the city met, put up $1,000 each, organized and incorporated what is now known as the People's Industrial Insurance Company. This company is now making up the business lost by the white company. Bishop Hurst added that Negroes of the South are meeting race prejudice with more seriousness and more real courage than their brothers in the North, and that the Southern Negro is getting ahead with startling rapidity. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS DONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD FROM ALL SOURCES BAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE- MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND. Western Newspaper Union News Service. WESTERN Nicholas Garcia, a cattleman of Mexico, who for three years had waged a campaign of vengeance against the Yaqui Indians in Sonora, was killed at Tecorpia, Sonora, according to a re- port received at Nogales, Ariz. As a result of the activity of German consuls in Mexico there has been arranged a steamship line between Germany and Mexican ports which will begin regular service at once. A steamer will reach Mexico each week from Germany, according to Mexican newspapers. The problem of handling large ek herds, big game and livestock on the forest reserves will be discussed at a meeting of forestry officials and the game wardens of the Western states, together with the federal game warden and his deputies at Salt Lake City, Feb. 16. Mrs. Marion A. Forrest, prominent in Eastern Star circles in California and New Mexico, was instantly killed in Oakland, Calif., by an automobile driven by Harold Graven, a University of California student. Graven is charged with manslaughter. It is charged that he was driving at excessive speed. The first shipment of ek from Yellowstone park to a point outside the United States left Gardiner, the northern entrance, for Rocky Mountain park, Banff, Alberta. Two hundred 1 and 2-year-old ek were loaded in four cars and shipped by express to the Canadian park, where they were turned, loose. Capt. John F. Blain, former North Pacific district manager of the United States shipping board, was arraigned in Seattle and given two weeks to plead to an indictment returned against him charging him with accepting secret commissions on sales to the board while he was manager. Gov. William D. Stephens of California has declined to grant an audience to a committee appointed by the Oriental Exclusion League and other organizations to seek from him an expression as to whether he proposed to call a special session of the State Legislature to deal with exclusion legislation. Thirty establishments at El Centro and in Imperial and Calexico, Calif., were raided by deputy sheriffs, and 150 men and women, alleged bootleggers and gamblers, were arrested. District Attorney Simon issued a statement in which he declared that the police of the three cities were either "asleep or negligent." The Protestant Episcopal diocese of Eastern Missouri, at its annual convention in St. Louis, unanimously adopted a resolution giving deanesses the privilege of voting in diocesan conventions on the same basis as the clergy. So far as Episcopallians here know, this is the first diocese in the United States to take such action. WASHINGTON Henry P. Fletcher has resigned as United States ambassador to Mexico to take effect in the course of the next few weeks. Dr. Hugh S. Cumming of Hampton, Virginia, was nominated surgeon general of the public health service by President Wilson. He succeeds Dr. Rupert Blue, whose term expired on Jan. 15. Since Sept. 1, 1919, less than 7,000 cases of influenza have been reported to the United States public health service, it is announced. During the preceding similar period last year more than 400,000 cases occurred.

By a margin of one vote the House appropriations committee refused to include in the deficiency appropriations bill a fund of $10,000,000 asked by the Navy Department for repairs to ships. Naval officials had informed the committee that unless the money was made available necessary repairs to many capital ships and destroyers could not be made and that 13,900 navy yard employés would have to be discharged next month. Anti-sedition measures were given a further setback by refusal of the House rules committee to give legislative preference for their consideration. No further hearings will be held, and the judiciary committee is expected to report a new measure, incorporating the features of the Davey bill, which has been suggested as ample by the Department of Justice. The excess of American exports over imports for the year 1919 amounted to $4,017,000,000, a new record, the Department of Commerce announced in Washington.

Main highways and market roads will be provided in every province. Consideration of the future constitution of Prussia has been closed by the commission assigned to the task and it has been decided that Prussia will not have a president of its own. The head of the legislative assembly will be ex-officio chief of the state. The prince of Wales has set an example by employing only ex-service men as male servants in his new bachelor home, York house. One of his footmen wears a wound stripe and the military medal; another has the Mons star. All the men servants in the establishment have war ribbons. German newspapers publish a letter from former Emperor William to a personal friend in which Count Hoehzollern expresses his absolute discouragement and says he does not wish ever to return to Germany. He says he believes his return would cause a split between German factions. The plight of retired Austrian officers is illustrated by an incident reported from a fashionable suburb of Vienna. A house owner was in search of a porter and made his want known to the officers' league. Among the applicants were a major general, three colonels, two lieutenant colonels, seven majors and eighteen captains. There have been serious food riots in the Moravian cities of Stanburg, Muglitz and Hohenstadt and troops have been called. Workmen are demanding immediate requisitioning of supplies by the army and their distribution under a workmen's committee. In the Olmutz district the authorities have conceded this demand. The British navy may soon be given a new and unsurpassed weapon in a large caliber shell which will pierce the heaviest armor without shattering, said Sir Robert Hadfield, chairman and managing director of Hadfields, Ltd., steel manufacturers, recently. He indicated that possession of such a shell during the great war would have been of inestimable value to the British fleet. GENERAL Women administering property in their own right will be permitted to vote at the first national election in Jugo-Slavia next month, according to an announcement made by the cabinet at Belgrade. "The jazz must go; it is on the wane; fashion decrees that it must go," was the declaration of W. J.

The sum of $1,000,000 will be spent to increase ministerial compensation. Maj. Richard Lloyd George, son of the British premier, arrived in New York on the steamer Mauretania from Southampton and Cherbourg. The major, who was accompanied by his wife, said he was on a "business trip" to America. Although it is the popular impression that the prohibition fight in the United States is over, the Anti-Saloon League insists that it has just begun in a declaration emphasizing its appeal for $25,000,000 to keep up warfare on the demon rum, notwithstanding its shackled condition.

Assessors from fifty-five Colorado counties who held their annual conference with the State Tax Commission in the Senate chamber at the state house, voted to assess automobiles on the same basis as employed last year with the exception that second-year valuations shall be 60 per cent of original value instead of being left chiefly to the assessor's discretion. Coal production in Colorado decreased from 12,658,055 tons in 1918 to 10,395,563 tons in 1919, a total decrease of 2,262,492 tons, the report for December issued by State Coal Mine Inspector James Dalrymple showed, though production in December alone was greater than 1,000,000 tons. Another new discovery of ore bearing gold and silver and one of the richest finds in the Silverton section in years, is reported from the property of the Gold King Extension Mines Company on Bonita mountain. The find was made in eighteen inches of white quartz and values up to 500 ounces of gold per ton and 40 to 50 ounces of silver are reported. Weld county farmers will receive $600,000 additional payment from the 1919 sugar beet crop as the result of the action of the Great Western Sugar Company in raising the price paid for the beets already ground into sugar from $10 a ton to $11. Three factory districts, Greeley, Windsor and Eaton, raised approximately 100,000 tons of beets each and more than 300,000 tons were raised by farmers in southern and western Weld county for factories at Longmont, Loveland and Brighton The 1919 Colorado apple crop was one of the largest the state has produced, in spite of the severe damage caused the crop by the frost on and about June 1. The agricultural production is estimated at 3,418,000 bushels, compared with 2,511,000 bushels in 1918 and 3,559,094 bushels reported by the census in 1909. Virgie Stout, a high school girl, and an automobile she was driving rolled down the steep embankment at Mantey's Heights, near Grand Junction, smashing the car but only bruising and shocking Miss Stout. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. W. R. Murphy of the Las Animas Leader was selected by the members of the Colorado Editorial Association as chairman of the field department committee, which is to work out a thorough organization of the association throughout the state, and to encourage the organization of local bodies to co-operate with the state association. The committee is to consist of three members, one of whom is to be the field secretary, and will be paid a salary by the state association for his services. John Kodel, a miner who has been persistently prospecting claims in the Kodel cafion, three miles southwest of Fruita, reports that his efforts have been rewarded by the finding of some very rich gold and silver ore. He says that the ore is in a vein six feet wide. Two three-foot veins came together about seventy-five feet below the surface of the ground and a Sylvanite ore, from a formation much like the Cripple Creek formation, yielded up the values. He believes the ore will run over $300,000 per ton. Silver dollars are going to be scarce from now on, due to a scarcity of silver. In their place dollar bills will be circulated, as in Eastern cities. No more silver dollars can be obtained by banks unless silver certificates are given in exchange. Silver, under this ruling cannot be bought with gold. There is a shortage of silver certificates. The banks will be able to get only a limited number of $1 and $2 bills. The result is expected to be a revival of silver mining in Colorado. Approximately $25,000,000 changed hands in live stock transactions during the six days of Denver's fourteenth annual National Western Stock Show, which closed its gates after the most successful season in its history. Men in close touch with the market have computed the amount from comparative bank clearings and other available data. Attendance records were also smashed this year. Total attendance figures for the show were announced as 72,381. An epidemic of smallpox has broken out in the city of Durango. The city commissioners, acting as the board of health, have issued orders to the effect that no person shall be permitted to attend the public or private schools of the city unless they have been vaccinated. The board of directors of the public schools and managers or persons in charge of private schools are expressly forbidden to permit any student who has not been vaccinated to attend school. Bodies of American soldiers who died or were killed in Europe during the war either will be brought to the United States without charge or left in the honored military cemeteries as relatives may desire, according to a letter received by Rex B. Yeager, secretary of the Colorado State Board of Embalming Examiners, from Representative Charles B. Timberlake, member of the ways and means committee of the House. Rulie R. Johnson, alias Charles R. Jewell, the alleged forger, who was shot and dangerously wounded by Turnkey Ed Coats when Johnson, together with several other inmates of the county jail, attempted to break out of that institution Dec. 27, pleaded guilty before Judge F. A. Park in District Court at Pueblo to the charge of passing bogus checks and received a sentence of from seven to ten years in the state penitentiary. Newcastle may have to close its public schools as the result of refusal of the school board to grant an increase of $200 a year in the salaries of the teachers. Craig will have a modern creamery manufacturing butter and ice cream if sufficient cream can be secured to make the proposition a success. Colorado has spent on an average of $25,000 to $30,000 per mile on concrete roads. Colorado is coming to be one of the most important states in the production of vegetable seed. The Seed Reporting Service of the United States Bureau of Markets found a total of 37,131 acres devoted to vegetable seeds, including sugar beet seed, in 1918. There was considerable falling off in 1919, principally in seed beans, which is the most important seed crop grown in the state. A tent city of 400 tents, to cost $165,000, is to be built in Colorado Springs before the summer tourist season in order to accommodate the expected crowds. The tents will be equipped and furnished and there will be a garage and cafeteria in connection. The Chamber of Commerce is backing the project, owing to the complaints of last season of the lack of accommodations. The end of the 1919-20 beet season came with the closing down of the sugar factory of the Holly Sugar Corporation at Grand Junction. The total run was 60,000 tons. This brought the grower organization about $600,000. The warehouse has only about 15,000 bags of sugar on hand and it is being dolled out to fill the orders on hand. A building program to cover not less than one year and involving the expenditure of many thousands of dollars, has been inaugurated by the Empire Zinc Company and will culminate in the erection of one of the largest and most modern plants for the treatment of zinc oxide in the west at Cafon City. Western slope postmasters appointed recently are Paul C. Boyles, Gunnison; Fred H. Sanderson, Gunnison, and John Uglow, Olathe. Uglow is reappointed to the postmaster at Olathe. WESTERN BEEF CO.

BELGIUM SKETCHES Reminiscences of a Belgian Baby By Katharine Eggleston Roberts. Whee-ee-ee! Zing! Bang! There I was right in the middle of it. I thought the whole world was like that and I'm free to confess the first impression was anything but favorable. Those Zeppelins and their bombs were awfully annoying; they made me nervous. Furthermore, a cellar is no place in which to be born. It gives one such a wrong idea of home. Of course, I know now it was the best place for safety, but then I didn't have my present viewpoint. That was about five years ago. Yes, my entrance was quite dramatic. You see, I came just at the wrong time. They were expecting the roof to fall in at any minute and the atmosphere was rather strained. It wasn't at all the sort of welcome a new member of a family expects. But, after all, I hadn't much reason to complain. As soon as the Germans took our town they stopped destroying houses, because they wanted to keep the city in good condition to live in after they had won the war. (I suppose they are sorry now.) Even at that they weren't pleasant people to have around. I was asleep when they first came to our house. I'd heard a banging outside, but didn't think anything of it and went on sleeping. All of a sudden some one picked me up and he was anything but gentle. I didn't like it and I didn't like him, and I said so in very plain and forceful language. My lungs and vocal cords were simply worn out afterward. I surely was relieved when my sister took me away from him—and I guess he was, too. But that was just the beginning. When I saw another man in one of those rat-colored costumes pull the mattress off my crib and take out its wool stuffing I was mad clear through. And then I looked around and saw they were doing the same thing to my mother's bed. They took most of the blankets, too. But what could we do? My father wasn't there, because he had gone somewhere else to fight and I was the only man in the house. I had tried kicking that German when he first picked me up and I realized he was too big for me to handle. We hoped that one raid would be the end of it, but it wasn't. Well, to THE DATE OF THE DATE THE HOUSE IN THE WASTE make a long story short, they came another time and took all the pretty shiny copper and our doorknobs. They removed our big bronze chandeliers and even the little hinges from the piano. We tried to hide some things, but they found all except a few doorknobs and a couple of candlesticks. Then they came again and took the linen. Finally they made a search for potatoes. After that, they visited us once a week and seized whatever they had missed before. Honestly, I concluded, they were going to take the whole house and were moving it on the installment plan. But they left the house itself and whatever they didn't want in it. we were practically sensation was very felt it too, for he ously. We got thir somehow. Since the better aquainted, we see how we got a How are things have more to eat a Germans around all was glad when weekly visits. But, noticed we haven't Everything that was replenished. I heard when I was supposed said something abe run during the My mother was awfully sad because we didn't hear from father. Of course we didn't have much to live on gither. The Germans wouldn't let anyone have more than a little bit of bread a week and everything else was just as scarce. I was always hungry and said so till I noticed mother was giving me part of her share. I didn't make so much fuss after that. As to clothes—well, as I grew, I had to have new ones and we couldn't buy them because we didn't have money and materials were terribly high-priced. The rest of the family had worn out all the things they had in the beginning. My sister dyed some blankets we had hidden whenever the Germans called and we made coats and other clothes of them. Then at night we put them over us to keep warm. Believe me there were some queer costumes here during the war. As soon as I learned to talk, I began getting into trouble. One day I saw that German officer who had yanked me out of bed when I was just new. I thought maybe he hadn't understood my former remarks and so I made a few more. He reached for me and I ran. At first he started to chase me, but it jostled his dignity too much, and I was safe. I got into one scrape after another and, sometimes when I was hungry, I couldn't run fast enough. Those men certainly knew how to use their swagger-sticks, I guess they must have practiced at home. I won't bother you with all the details of those four years. They were mostly a monotony of nothing to eat and nothing to wear. Everybody felt sorry for me because I was so young. When the armistice was signed, we just went crazy here. The first Belgian soldier who rode into town was carried about on people's shoulders till the poor fellow was worn out. We were terribly anxious to get rid of the Germans and, because they didn't leave fast enough to suit us, everyone wore little pins like brooms to show them we were going to sweep them out, if they didn't hurry. Suddenly my father came home. I heard my mother call his name and all the family ran into the hall where he was and everyone began to cry and Copyright Defend & Protect When Father Came Home. laugh and cry again. Of course, I had never seen him and, at first, I couldn't believe that the tall, thin man with hollow cheeks was my father. To tell the truth, I felt rather out of place and embarrassed. So I hung around the edge of the crowd till someone remembered me and I was presented to father. Frankly, I didn't just know the proper way to greet him. Of course he was my father but, after all ```markdown ``` we were practically strangers. The sensation was very queer. I think he felt it too, for he looked at me curiously. We got through the meeting somehow. Since then we've become better aquainted. You know, I don't see how we got along without him How are things now? Well, we have more to eat and we haven't the Germans around all the time. I surely was glad when they stopped their weekly visits. But, of course, you've noticed we haven't any doorknobs. Everything that was taken has to be replenished. I heard the family talking when I was supposed to be asleep. They said something about bills that had been run during the war. Father said he was glad his credit had been good, but he didn't know whether it would be five years from now. I don't know exactly what he meant. Mother told him that the clothes we'd made from the blankets were so worn that they wouldn't do for either clothes or blankets this winter. But my sister had been downtown pricing things and it seems you can't buy wool clothes now for less than a fortune. Father said he didn't see how they were going to get enough new machinery in place of that the Germans took from his factory to make the necessary fortune. Mother and my sister can't go out at the same time any more, because of the coat question. Father's things are none too good. And just look at these trousers I'm wearing! Aren't they a sight? They're too tight, too. If I don't get a new pair pretty soon, I'll just be desperate. Take it from me, I'm never going to be born again during a war; I'll wait till it's all over and settled. All I could do was take up room and food and clothing. And, anyhow, it's no fit introduction to life. Why, at first, when we began to get more to eat, I was actually food-shy. I'm not fat enough yet, but, if I have to wear these clothes much longer, I guess it's a good thing. Then, as I said before, it has knocked my disposition all to smash and now I'll have to take a running jump to make good. 鱼 A THE KITCHEN CABINET E·HENNET The day returns and brings its petty round of irritating concerns and duties.

Appetizing soups may be made of materials otherwise wasted. A cupful ```markdown ``` The common vegetables of mother earth may be served in a variety of ways, to avoid monotony. POTATOES Stuffed Potatoes.—Select good, even-sized potatoes, cut off the ends and bake. When baked, scoop out the inside without breaking the shell. Add butter to season, with salt and red or two of mashed potato can be turned into a most nourishing soup. Soup is not necessarily made from meat stock; such vegetables may be used as beans, peas and other vegetables cooked until soft and passed through a sleeve, then heated with milk, water or stock. Using left-over vegetables is an economy. pepper and sweet cream enough to beat them light and finny. Fill the skins with this and place in the oven to brown. Farm Potato Dish.—For a good-sized family, take a milk pan, cover the bottom with sliced potatoes, filling the pan nearly full; sprinkle over the sliced potatoes one, two or three finely shredded onions, the number depending upon the amount of potato or the family taste. Cover all with well-seasoned pork chops which have been cooked on one side. Place them cooked side next to the potatoes, and place in the oven to cook until the potatoes are done and the chops brown. This is a meal which is good to prepare on a busy day, and is very appetizing. Split Pea Soup.—Take one pint of dried peas, four quarts of water, one large onion minced fine, four tablespoonfuls of drippings (or butter is better, as it gives a better flavor), three tablespoonfuls of flour, one tablespoonful of minced celery or a few dried leaves, one-half teaspoonful of paprika and two teaspoonfuls of salt. Wash the peas and soak them over night in cold water. In the morning pour off the water and put them into the soup kettle with three quarts of water. Place over the fire and bring to the boiling point. Pour off this water and add four quarts of boiling water, and let the peas simmer for four hours. Add the celery the last hour of cooking. Cook the onion and drippings slowly for half an hour. Drain the water from the peas and save the water. Add flour, water and seasoning and cook half an hour, stirring often. Mash the peas, rub through a sieve, and mix with the other ingredients. Cook 20 minutes and serve hot. Hot Potato Salad.—One quart of boiled potatoes diced, one minced onion, chopped parsley and green pepper to taste. Take two slices of bacon diced, and fry until brown; remove the bits of friend bacon and use as a garnish on top of the salad. Add a tablespoonful of flour to the hot fat, and when smooth stir in a half-cupful of vinegar, half-cupful of hot water, one teaspoonful of salt, a teaspoonful of sugar and a little pepper. Stir and cook until smooth, then pour hot over the vegetables. Serve hot. Scotch Broth.—Take three pounds of mutton, two tablespoonfuls of pearl barley, two tablespoonfuls of minced onion, two tablespoonfuls of minced turnip, the same of carrot and minced celery, and salt; one tablespoonful of minced parsley and three quarts of cold water. Remove the bones and all the fat from the mutton, cut the meat in small pieces, and put into the stewpan with the water, chopped vegetables, barley and all the seasonings except the parsley, and simmer three hours. Add the parsley and serve. Potatoes, Spareribs and Apples. Place seasoned spareribs in baking dish and cook one hour. Place quartered potatoes under the spareribs and quartered apples on top. Bake one hour more. Season well with salt and pepper before baking. Hot Potato Balls.—Take a pint of mashed potato, seasoned well, add two beaten eggs, a tablespoonful of flour, a half cupful of grated cheese and milk to make a soft drop batter. Drop by spoonfuls into hot fat, and cook until light brown. Many vegetables which would otherwise be refused will be questioned in soups. The mineral value found in vegetables is very essential for all growing children, and when spinach is not relished as a plain vegetable, add it with other vegetables to a cream soup. "Cookery must be studied thoroughly these days, for it must be remembered that the less food there is the more important it is to know how to utilize what is available to the best purpose." SIMPLIFY YOUR MEALS. Why is it that women so seldom think of house management as a business? A business which needs training and adaptability. Why should we expect all women to be successful housekeepers? We would think it absurd to it that man to any one house or profession relied on of talent or equipment; so let us be as charitable with the women. Those who know tell us that the average American *ol* the well-to-do class, eats at least one-third more food than is necessary or safe, and that seven-eighths of our diseases are caused from improper food and C WHAT SHALL WE HAVE FOR DIN NER? also, in large degree, improper eating. Horace Fletcher, who gave to the world so much on the way to eat and what to eat, advocated the long mastication of foods, chewing twice as long, and in consequence the appetite is satisfied with much less food.

Cook for ten minutes; then add hot cream poured over the fish and bake for ten or fifteen minutes longer. Serve with the sauce poured over the fish. Milk may be used with butter, but nothing tastes quite so good as cream. On a busy day the house mother who can serve a wholesome one-piece dish which will be sufficiently satisfying is using economy both of time and of fuel. There are any number of dishes from chowders to casserole dishes. The following has been given several times but may be repeated, it is so good: Put sufficient sliced potatoes in a shallow baking pan, for the family, cover with a finely sliced onion and pork chops fried on one side and placed cooked side down on the potatoes. Season well and bake until the potatoes are tender. No moisture need be added unless the potatoes have lost much moisture. Dinner Salad.—Use a few sections of grapefruit with all membranes removed and broken in small bits arranged on lettuce and sprinkled with finely shredded green pepper. Serve with an oil dressing, using corn oil. Beat the yolk of an egg, add salt, sugar, mustard and lemon juice; when well mixed add a little corn oil, beating well. Continue beating until thick and creamy. Use about three-fourths of a cupful of oil to one egg yolk and a tablespoonful or two of lemon juice. This dressing will keep indefinitely if kept cold. A salad dressing which is very good and is always ready to serve on any kind of a salad is made of corn oil added a little at a time to a beaten yolk with lemon juice, just as one makes mayonnaise. It looks and tastes almost as good as olive oil mayonnaise. To this dressing may be added for variety chopped onion, peppers, celery, peas or any cooked vegetable at hand. The same dressing plain with whipped cream added makes a good dressing on fruit salad. Fried Onions and Apples.—Slice two onions very thin and cook in a tablespoonful of hot fat until yellow, then add half a dozen sliced tart apples; cook until soft, adding a bit of water and fat if needed. Just before serving add a teaspoonful of sugar. Serve with roast pork, pork sausages or pork steak or chops. If one does not like the onions or desires variety core the apples without peeling, slice in half-inch slices and fry carefully not to break them. Serve with chops, making an overlapping ring of the apples around the chops. With a soup for a light meal and a simple salad following a main dish and a dessert which appeals to the eye, one has a meal which is suitable for all ordinary days. Add one tablespoonful of cornstarch to each cupful of flour in making cake. It improves the grain greatly.

BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS. N a few days hence will be commemorated by various classes of citizens I the birthdays of three of America’s illustrious sons—George Washing- ton, Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass, the first two accredited with giving the nation its birth and prosperity respectively, and the third immortalized as the wonderful agent who broke down the barriers of in- humanity and serfdom and created that recognition which gave practical indorsement of the “brotherhood of man'—the commemoration of the birthday of these three distinguished American characters should fill us with the kind of patriotism that creates an outburst of enthusiasm eman- ating from the heart, the same being reflected in the spirit of American citizenship and American manhood.

IMPORTANT LESSONS TO BE LEARNED FROM TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONFERENCE. ACH day presents its lesson to be learned, and the Tuskegee Negro Farmers’ Twenty-ninth Annual Conference held last week at Tuske- E gee, Ala., offered a reminder of the good adage, “the more you live the more you learn.” On the front page of this issue we publish a detailed account of the conference, including extracts from the speech of Governor Thomas M. Bickett of North Carolina and Mrs. G. H. Mathis of Gadsen, Ala. (also white), and while enthusiasm was at its height and inspiration given to last the race to the end of time, yet the puzzle still confronts us, that with all the fine speeches and best wishes of these lead- ers, lecturers, heads of state, ete., the perpetration of the greatest crime, the foulest deed not only continues, but increases at a rapid rate, if not in Alabama, in its sister states, and none of the good influences that are fed to us in these and other conferences seem to have any effect upon the other race in ameliorating the conditions that exist in a measure greater than pro-slavish times. “It is brains that you farmers want, and I hope you will put them into your work when you go back from Tuskegee is my message to you,” were among the words of the Carolina Governor, and we, with all gratitude, believing in this Governor's sincerity, want to assure him that every time we get “the brains” and approach our hard task-masters (probably not in Alabama) to meet us, on the fair and square ground, we become the vic- tims of the recent Arkansas action, and get the justice (7) that our twelve fellow-men who await the electric chair, and the eighty-five who are now on the prison farm of Arkansas. We wonder if the Governor knows any- thing about the WORKING ON SHARES system that prevails in many parts of the South, where the Negro never gets any share in the end, or the cruel, jealous action that comes about when the Negro farm owner is given twenty-four hours to quit his farm and get out of town—not when he begins to farm, but five or more years afterwards, when his farm, by dint of hard work, constant attention and BRAINS, is superior to his white neighbor's, On reliable authority and from an authentic source we re- ceived our information that as soon as the Negro farmer in Elaine, Ark., who was mentally enslaved, woke up and got his fellow Negro, who had the brains to calculate the results of his side of the work contract, so that he could enjoy the fruits of his labor, his representative—a qualified at- torney-at-law was severely reprimanded and thrown in jail for interference “with our niggers’ business,” as this lord of creation and modern“day slave- owner puts it. It is very beautiful to some of us to be in the position to hear the sentiments of good-will and kindness, but whenever we think upon the words of the immortal Lincoln, “No people, no government can exist suc- cessfully, half bond and half free,” we fail to see the good results or to imagine the benefits to be derived by us as a whole with the Alabama farmer with the brains to be accepted, and the other state in its effort to get brains either rejected or punished. Mrs. Mathis, in the course of her speech, referring to the splendid opportunities that Negroes have, draws a comparison between God's chosen people who served 430 years in Egypt under the guidance of their Creator and us, and makes the analogy that as in the end they acquired the wisdom and skill of the Egyptians, so we may look forward to become the bene- ficiaries of those precious gifts. ‘‘No other race ever had such opportu- nities thrust upon them before, and none ever rose with less real hardships,” words of this sympathizer, whom we think means every word she says, would certainly cheer us if in her comparison and in these words of hope and cheer, the people of her race believed that the God they worship or the Great Source from which their existence was ordered, gave us our life und our being. = ‘These special annual events are all right for the periodical display of WHAT THE NEGRO OUGHT TO DO to become desirable citizens and to be entertained and accepted as new-born babes; but our hearts beat still with the sorrow that makes us attempt at times to challenge the fairness or equal distribution of the Author of Creation when we are eye-witnesses ef the inhuman treatment meted out to us, and victims of the ambitious idea of wiyning recognition as MAN, COMMON MAN. It was a great con- ference from an external standpoint, but we are not quite the optimist this time until Alabama and her modern teachers and saviours can help their brothers around and about them in a manner helpful to the SOLU- TION OF THE VEXED QUESTION. Albinos. Pecullar African Reptile. ‘The term “albino” was originally applied by the Portuguese to negroes found on the coast of Africa, who were mottled with white spots. Now an albino is defined as a person having a congenital deficiency of pigments of the skin, hair and eyes. Albinos occur among all races of men; in extreme cases they have a skin of a miiky color, extremely light hair, and eyes with a deep red pupil with pink or blue iris. The gaboon viper ranges over the whole of tropical Africa. The body is exceedingly thick, stubtalled, with a huge, spade-shaped head. Instead of progressing in ordinary fashion, this reptile throws forward lateral loops of the body and moves along in an oblique direction to that in which the head is pointing.

It is not intended to affect the adjustment of the issues between the miners and the operators.

No Equal Suffrage Movement in France After the American Fashion. By MME. CLEMENCEAU-JACQUEMAIRE, in New York Times. So far as I have been able to observe, there is no equal suffrage movement in France in the sense that you in America regard a movement. From earliest times the women in France have always held a high position in the community. They have taken an active part in business projects, and the professions have always been open to them. They have been prominent in literature, science, and art. Indirectly they have exerted great influence on the political life of the country. Consequently there has been no pronounced movement for equal rights in France such as has been started elsewhere. The women of France are not anxious to vote or to be elected to office. Therefore I am not of the opinion that suffrage will gain headway in my country. Nevertheless 1 am watching with great interest the progress of the women of other countries. We admire your progressive- ness and are interested in the experiment of sending women to congress, of giving them seats on the bench. This is, of course, in line with your advancement and liberal ideas. But our own traditions, our social and racial conditions, are very different. I find no cause for anxiety regarding the competition of the sexes in business. Women who had taken men’s jobs on the outbreak of the war are gladly relinquishing them, and peace adjustment is coming without bitterness. Was it not Ellen Key who avowed that even if the suffragist was striv- ing to be free she was making a mistake if she thought the vote would free her from the limitation of nature? Women cannot pass beyond those limits without interfering with the rights of nature and the potential child. Woman, of course, has a right to avoid marriage, and to allow her- self to be turned into a third sex, provided she finds in this her greatest happiness.» But when all is told, motherhood is the central factor of existence for most women, Patriotic Creed of the Good American for the Welfare of Everybody.

By GEORGE BERNARD SHAW My mother was always having communion with the dead. She took it quite seriously. She was a wise and balanced woman, too. : ‘The first planchette that ever came to Ireland came to our house. I used it incessantly till it became a deadly bore—as it does in about a week. I have looked into the subject, but it has not convinced me. I feel much like a man I know whose dearest friend, a woman, was close to death. “You are about to pass over, my dear,” he told her with tears in his eyes, “and I want you to promise me solemnly that if it is possible for you to communicate with me from the other world, you won’t do it.” Fortunately she recovered, but she has since died, and now my friend is scared stiff for fear she will come to him just for spite! Fancy the poor dead having to spend their time tilting tables for peo- ple in this world! And ringing bells and sending messages.

Once more the icy hand of death is laid on the brow of a man who lived among us for twenty years after leaving Ashville, North Carolina, where he was born August 3, 1880; and now after an illness of nine months, during which time he bore his sufferings with fortitude, Julius Benjamin, the only son and brother of his mother, father and sister, who pre-deceased him, Ragsville answered the roll call on Saturday, Jan. 24, when he sugcumb to a complication of diseases. Mr. Ragsville possessed a fine education, having been trained at St. Augustine College, Raleigh, N. C., under Rev. McDuffie, now pastor of a Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia, and the present Bishop DeLaney of North Carolina, who were members of the faculty at that time. He was very fond of music and possessed a voice of rare quality, having sung in a number of city quartets and choruses. In his early life, after his graduation from school, he was employed by one of the Vanderbilt brothers in North Carolina, also by the famous MacCaulay family of the Coloradoiest families of the country. He came to this state in company with J. B. Gist, who now resides here. Public spirted, philanthropic and publicic to a fault he responded liberally to every charitable appeal he merited. For several years he served the exclusive Denver Athletic Club as telephone operator, endearing him to all the members by his ability and general deportment. In later years he was attached to the Rio Grande railway service, where he became a favorite with employer and associate employees until the time of his illness last year. His funeral will take place tomorrow, Feb. 1, at 2 p. m., from the Douglass Undertaking Parlors, 2743 Welton street, Rev. Dr. Thomas of Shorter Church officiating, and a male quartet singing "The Rosary," by Nevin, and "Swing Low Sweet Chariot," favorite songs of the deceased, which he requested to be sung. Interment at Riverside cemetery. Douglass Company funeral directors. We join the large circle of friends in mourning the loss of the deceased. FEAR. By Milton M. Schayer. FEAR is your worst enemy. It feeds upon itself. It saps your courage. It shakes your nerve. It makes a strong man weak. It makes a well man sick. It makes a good man bad. It turns red blood white. It makes day seem night. BUT if you will think straight you will know that what you fear IS NOT REAL. For fear is a ghost, a phantom. Fear is uncontrolled thought. Fear is a state of mind that you can control by power of will. RESOLVE to have no room in your mind for fear. To cast out all thought of weakness, pain, failure. Determine not to nurse but to forget your fear. Dr. Julius Wolf, physician and surgeon, announces the opening of branch offices at 2711 Welton street.

Evidence of the Extent to Which Poachers Have Killed These Birds. The Wings Stored Here Were Evidently Intended for Shipping, but Never Had Been Cured. Most Remarkable Refuge in the World in Danger From Hunters. MANY BARE SPECIES THEE Bird Reservation Is Under Control of the Department of Agriculture—Protecting the Birds There Is Precarious Business. Washington.—Sticking out in the Pacific ocean 900 miles beyond Hono-Iulu is a group of little islands, the largest not more than two square miles in area, and several of them barely rising above the waves at high tide. Yet on those islands are many hundreds of thousands of birds and among them are at least six species Albatross Wings Piled in Old Guano the Extent to Which Poachers Ha Stored Here Were Evidently In Been Cured. not found anywhere else in the world. In 1911, one of those species was represented by six birds—all that were left as the sole means of perpetuating the species, and they concentrated on a single little island, where one man might kill them all in one minute's shooting. That species—the Laysan teal—has fortunately increased until there are, by estimate, thirty-five individuals. For the United States department of agriculture, for a few years, has controlled the islands as a bird reservation—the Hawaiian islands reservation, it is called. But protecting the birds there is a precarious business. The possibility has existed always that one or more of the rare species might be wined out in a day. Albatross Destroyers Arrested. By way of illustration, this: One day in 1909 the crew of the cutter Thetis found an old shed absolutely plied full of albatross wings. A search revealed the fact that 23 plume hunters had landed on Laysan island and had killed at least 300,000 birds. The men were captured, taken to Honolulu, and formally arrested. Since that time there is not known to have been any repetition of such depredations, but it is always imminent. Just now many fishermen—largely nationals of countries other than the United States—are extending their operations from Honolulu out to the region of the bird reservation. Landings on the islands are constantly imminent, and such landings would be a menace to one of the most remarkable bird-breeding places in the world. The bureau of biological survey, having direct charge of the reservation, is calling attention to the fact that disturbing the birds on Laysan or any of the smaller islands is forbidden, and announcing that the reservation will be protected, by whatever means are necessary, for the benefit of all the peoples of the world. Laysan, the largest of the group, is one of the most westerly of the Hawaiian islands. It has an area of about two square miles, and within it, conforming generally to the coast line, is a large lagoon. This island is one of the most populous bird-breeding places on the globe, literally hundreds of thousands of birds resorting there to lay their eggs every year. Specialists of the biological survey call attention to the fact that the ostensible occupation of fishermen does not mean that men may not be very destructive to birds. The great Invents Typewriter on Which to Write Music Wichita, Kan.—Will Kansas wonders never cease? A typewriter on which one can successfully write music is the invention of H. P. Flauth, a composer of this city. The machine is said to have 135 characters which can be written on, below or above the staff. The typewriter differs from the ordinary model only in that the printing surface of the roller is flat. Flauth is understood to have worked more than 18 years on the invention. 50 Year Old Cache Found ank, they recall, was exterminated by fishermen. The rarest of all the species that exist only in the Laysan group is a duck-like bird, excellent for food, and therefore most likely to be shot by fishermen. Rare Birds on Island. The species that nest there and nowhere else are the Laysan teal, the Little Laysan rull, the Laysan honey-eater, the Laysan finch, the miller bird (a small warbler), the Hawaiian tern, and the Laysan albatross. Other species that nest principally on Laysen and adjacent islands and would be in danger of extermination if molested there, are the red-tailed tropic bird, the black-footed, jabatross, the gray-backed tern, and the sooty tern. The number of individuals of the exclusive species in 1911 were estimated to be: Six of the Laysan teal, perhaps 100 of the miller bird, 300 of the honey-enter, 2,000 of the rail, 2,700 of Shed, Laysan Islands. Evidence of five Killed These Birds. The Wings extended for Shipping, but Never Had the finch, and 180,000 of the albatross. Indications are that, while the teal has increased, the other species have probably decreased. The islands composing the reservation are Laysan island, Ocean or Cure island, Pearl and Hermes reef, Lysianski or Pell island, Mary reef, Dowsett reef, Gardiner island, Two Brothers reef, French Frigate shoal, Necker island, Frost shoal and Bird island. Stefansson Discovers Supplies Left in 1850 to Aid Ill- Fated Franklin. RECALLS TRAGEDY OF ARCTIC Food and Clothing Found to Be Almost in as Good Condition as When Placed There by McClintock in 1853. New York.—Of interest to all who have heard the call of the North and the lure of exploration is the announcement that Vilhjalmur Stefansson found the abandoned cache of Sir Leopold McClintock, commander of the Intrepid, in the Arctic after a lapse of more than half a century. It was Sir Leopold McClintock, in command of the ship Intrepid, who found traces of the voyage of that unfortunate explorer Sir John Franklin. He built a cache on Melville island, presumably between 1850 and 1854, when in quest of tidings of Sir John Franklin and the members of his ill-fated expedition in the Arctic. The McClintock cache was located by Stefansson, who reports that he found everything in almost as good condition as when placed there in 1853. Articles of clothing he found particularly well preserved and much better in quality than the clothing of today, and the food and supplies left in the Arctic cache by Commander McClintock and his men also were well preserved, despite the severe weather known to prevail in the Arctic regions. Documents and a list of the contents of a cache built in the far North by Commander McClintock and other data also were found by Capt. Joseph E. Bernier, in command of the "Arctic" expedition of 1908-1909. A tablet erected on Dealy island by Captain Kellett and Commander McClintock in 1852-1853, whose vessels were lost, also was found by Captain Bernier and re-erected, with his own tablet, on Parry's Rock, commemorating the annexing of the Arctic archipelago in 1909. On the tablet found by Captain Bernier were the names of the ships navigated by the explorers—"H. M. S. Resolute, Henry Kellett, Esq., C. B., H. M. S. V. Intrepid, F. L. McClintock, Esq., Comm. Wintered 1852-1853, S. 82 E. (true). Door of Depot House --- CHILDREN OFFERED AS BAIL Pueblo Strikers Seek Release of Wives After Mayor Is Pueblo, Colo.—Children as surety for bail is something new in Colorado. Five women were among those arrested here following a riot in which Mayor Mike Studdinski was knocked down and severely beaten by striking steel workers. Husbands of $_{e}$ he women made frantic attempts to obtain their release on bonds, saying they needed the women to "keep the home fires burning," and one man, who could not raise the $200 bond required, took his three little children 'to the police station and offered to leave them in custody as surety for his wife's appearance in court. The offer was refused. Later the women were released on a cash bond of $1,000 given by the strike committee. The rioting followed the attempt to reopen the Minnequa steel mills, closed since July. Austrian women stoned the workers who tried to enter the plant. HIGH HEELS CAUSE DEATH Pittsburgh Woman Mangled by Elevator After Her Shoe Catches in Door. Pittsburgh, Pa.—High heeled shoes dragged Mrs. C.

Mrs. Steffler was burrying through the hall going to the elevator when John Gibson, the elevator operator, informed her that he would carry her up after he had answered a telephone call. As Mrs. Steffler stepped into the waiting car her high heeled shoes caught between the elevator and the floor. In an effort to extricate herself she fell forward, grasping the cable of the cage which started slowly to descend to the basement, pinning her between the steel cage and the wall. RUSS REDS SELL CZAR'S GEMS Lenine Government Trading in Holland Through Germany to Avoid Blockade. Amsterdam, Holland.—The Lenine government in Russia, balked by the world financial blockade from sending money abroad for propaganda purposes, now is conducting an extensive traffic in confiscated jewels through Germany to Holland markets, according to the Handelsblad, which comments on a charge that the communist member Lisser of the Amsterdam council offered the Russian emperor's diamonds for sale. (with direction given). Record will be found in house." "Lieutenant McClintock," says Captain Bernier, who was commander of the Intrepid and second in command to Captain Kellett, early showed his great activity by making sledge journeys of a hazardous nature across Melville island from the locality in which the Resolute and Intrepid were frozen in near Dealy island. The tracings made by McClintock around the shores of Melville island and Prince Patrick island, on foot, added many hundreds of miles to the coast surveyed under Relcher and Kellett. The cairns established by him between 1852 and 1854 are mentioned in his reports with the papers found at Dealy island. It is probably one of these cairns that was discovered by Stefansson and built by McClintock more than half a century ago. Continuing, Captain Bernier says of McClintock: "His subsequent career in navigating the waters in Lady Franklin's yacht Fox of Peel sound, Regent inlet, Bellot strait, King William island and around Montreal island and Boothia peninsula are well-known. His brilliant achievements and discovery of definite information regarding the fate of Franklin point to him as the most fortunate of all voyagers who pursued the most remarkable search known in the history of navigation." One of the documents left by McClintock in a copper tube and under a pile of rocks was found by Captain Bernier. Another was found outside of Kellett's depot, probably disturbed from its resting place by a polar bear, for it bore the marks of the paw of an animal of considerable size. Much of the information found in these documents was utilized by Captain Bernier while cruising through northern seas in the Arctic. Enjoyed His Own Funeral. Hillsboro, Pa.—James H. Houser, seventy-five years of age, is all ready to die now. In fact, he has already buried himself. Believing funerals should be enjoyed while living, he has had his staged here recently. Many friends attended. They sang "Nearer, My God, to Thee," and a lot of other funeral songs after a minister delivered Houser's purial services. Houser has prepared his own obituary. The ceremony was held at a church and at the Houser home. HEARD and SEEN at the CAPITAL Lincoln Highway Gets Nearly $12,000,000 in 1919 ASHINGTON.—Lincoln Highway—the great national outdoor memorial to Abraham Lincoln—is faring well these days at the hands of eleven states, through which it passes. The Lincoln Highway, which was at first largely a $127,000.94; Utah, $225,528.54; Nevada, $411,049.58; California, $375,500.00; total, $8,886,800.31. To these figures must be added much of the county construction and maintenance work and city paving, for which it is impossible to get accurate detailed figures. Conservative estimates resulting from actual inspection of such work in progress indicates that these unreported expenditures amounted to over $500,000 in 1919. The association also points out that contracts covering a total of 159.8 miles of permanent improvement were let in 1919 in seven of the states traversed by the route, the total amount of these contracts aggregating an additional $2,323,112.59—money already provided and in addition to that actually expended for work completed in 1919. The total financing for the Way in 1919 therefore amounted to $11,709,912.90. Comparison with the figures for the years since the association began its work show the significance of this total. The amounts expended were: In 1914, $1,200,000; in 1915, $2,580,280; in 1916, $4,198,165; in 1917, $2,000,918.96; in 1918 $2,996,307.77. The General Federation of Women's clubs, which has charge of the planting of the Way, plans to have it beautified with trees, shrubs and flowers and to make it a bird sanctuary from coast to coast. Discontented School Pupils Make Child Laborers Unattractive school buildings, poorly trained teachers and sparse equipment are factors in making the boy or girl restless at school. It is also declared that the present federal child labor law does not reach more than 300,000 of the 2,000,000 working children over ten years of age, as at least three-fourths of these are in the agricultural districts. In many cases there are no schools to attend. The "back to the school" drive stimulated local surveys of the school resources. Some of the schools were closed for the lack of teachers, and the general report lays this lack to the low salaries paid. A few of the states met this condition by making a minimum teaching salary from $1,000 to $1,200, but there are communities where teachers are paid only $40 a month. It was the opinion of those conducting these campaigns that once the parents were reached the ways and means of keeping the child in school would be forthcoming. All the World Has but a Wagonload of Diamonds EVERYBODY is buying diamonds these days. It seems as if the supply was inexhaustible. Yet a Chicago statistical expert has figured out that if all the diamonds mined in history and existing today as cut and polished gems lon, or 761-5 bushels valued at $51,570,729 a bushel. All the world's diamonds could be packed in an ordinary clothes closet or a kitchen pantry. India, it is estimated, has produced, all told, 50,000,000 carats; Brazil, 15,000,000; South Africa, 170,574,000; Borneo, 1,000,000; British Guiana, 50,000; Australia, 150,000; China, 2,000; Siberia, 500; United States, 500. This is a total rough output of 236,777,374 carats or 55.35 tons avoiddupois. Only about 50 per cent of rough diamonds are cut into gems and lose about 60 per cent of their weight in being cut and polished. Diamonds are practically indestructible and the first diamond ever mined may possibly still be in existence; some princess or millionaire's wife or a waitress in a restaurant may be wearing the world's first diamond or a fragment of it. But the estimate allows for the loss of at least 1,000,000 carats by flood, fire, shipwreck and other disasters. These reductions and losses leave the total of cut and polished diamonds at 46,355,474 carats. Molluscs Start Scientist After a Lost Continent DETAILS concerning a lost continent in the Pacific ocean, a 6,000-mile prehistoric "bridge" of land between South America and Hawaii, is being sought by an American scientist, William Allanson Bryan, professor of zoology extraordinarily similar in their characteristics to certain molluscs in Hawaii. So I determined to visit the island, study those shells and its entire flora and fauna." If the Juan Fernandez molluscs should prove to be closely allied with those of Hawaii, Dr. Bryan explains, it would prove that land connection had existed, as the species must have traveled from Juan Fernandez to Hawaii, or vice versa, by the rivers of the prehistoric continent. Professor Bryan considers it not unlikely that the lost Pacific continent preceded that of South America in the dark ages of time. It was on Juan Fernandez that Alexander Selkirk, a Scotch buccaneer, lived in solitude for four years (1704-1708). His story is supposed to have suggested "Robinson Crusoe" to Defoe. The flora and fauna of the island differ remarkably from those of the mainland. Abraham Lincoln—is riding well through which it passes. The Lincoln series of connecting country roads, has gradually become, through official action of the various states, an integral portion of the several state highway systems. Expenditures on the Way in 1919, for new construction, reconstruction and maintenance were as follows by states: New Jersey, $1,383,572.00; Pennsylvania, $1,418,169.28; Ohio, $1, 903,708.10; Indiana, $742,218.30; Illinois, $1,430,120.28; Iowa, $256,899.29; Nebraska, $613,025.00; Wyoming, $127,000.94; Utah, $225,528.54; Nevada total, $8,886,800.31.

Fills Make Child Laborers sixteen years of age who leave school to work are not all forced into industry first official reports of the Children's bureau on the "back to school" drive held in connection with Children's Year. Schools must be made more attractive and parents more sensitive to the value of a completed education, says this report. One reason for keeping children in school is keeping them out of industry before they are prepared to assume these burdens. The experience of child welfare committees showed that discontented school pupils became the child laborers. early trained teachers and sparse equip- rial restless at school.

MORAL—ADVERTISE THE WESTERN WORLD Styles in Children's Brocks L ```markdown ``` THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West BLOUSES and smocks, as in everything else that has been presented so far for spring, variety is a most noteworthy feature of the displays; variety in styles, in materials, in design. It is probably due to the growing demand for "exclusive" styles on the part of many people who have grown exacting within the last year or two. They appear to be willing to pay long prices for "something different." Blouse and smock designers, therefore, are following the lead of the milliners and excursionting into all sorts of by-paths that lead a little way off the main traveled road. But there is room for some generalizing in summing up the styles. Blouses and smocks interest women much earlier than suits and coats for spring. Many of the choicest ones are made at home, and even when this is not the cure, the assembling of blouses for sowing and summer wear begins early and takes time. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Short peplum styles and short sleeves appear over the horizon for summer wear. There are plenty of Russian blouse models and plenty of long sleeves—the latter greatly varied THE COLORADO STATESMAN Styles in Chil 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. CHILDRENS clothes for spring reflect the same simplicity of de sign and painstaking workmanship that rules in the styles for grown people. Wherever this reaction toward simple things came from and however much we may welcome it in the apparel of grown people, it is even more welcome in children's clothes. Gentlewomen applaud it—the exquisite treatness and finish that are dearer than all else to them are the things that give character to the new styles. After these items it is noticeable that ingenuity in the management of details, is depended on to furnish points of interest in the composition of garments. There are two gingham frocks for little girls, shown in the picture above. To begin with, the patterns of the gingham are of the simplest kinds, checks and crossbars so good that they have always been produced. We are not running after strange gods in cotton fabrics this spring, but instead are pinning our faith to old favorites. The dress at the left of which both TWODOLLARSAYEAR (1) Given at the text, of which doubt in design; there are many overblouse models, there are collarless and collared models—the former in the majority. There are tailored and there are untrimmed types, but taken altogether it may be said that blouses and smocks were never more beautiful than they are today. A handsome smock of georgette crepe with a cape collar is designed in a way to set off very prettily the abundant embroidery in silk floss that adorns it. The collar, sleeve and skirt of the smock are encircled with this work, which usually is done in colors, one like that in the crepe and one contrasting. In the smock pictured the sleeves are three-quarters length—a safe choice, since it is possible to shorten them for midsummer, and a novel feature appears in the narrow velvet ribbon threaded through evelets in the embroidery. For confining the smock at the waist line the choice lies between narrow girdles of the same material as the garment or silk cord and tassels like that shown in the picture, which seems an appropriate finish for a smock so richly embroidered. dren's Frocks front and back views are pictured, 19 sulted to a girl from eight to twelve years old and is made of shepherd's check in a light brown and white gingham. The bodice, extended below the waistline at the front, forms a folded girdle that merges into a sash tied into a bow, with short pointed ends at the back. It has a rounded sailor collar and deep cuffs inlaid with plain light brown. One of those ingenious and pleasing finishing touches appears in the crescent-shaped pockets. For a smaller girl a pretty crossbar ginghm is cut with plain bodice on the blas of the material and skirt on the straight. A white frill about the neck and white facing on the odd pockets give class to this simple little frock. The body and skirt are set together and a narrow belt of the gingham finishes up the dress.
