WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.—Nationa-
al Chairman Will H. Hays of
the Republican National Com-
mittee, who has been in the West for several weeks giving attention to matters in a number of states, held a conference in Washington Wednesday, February 4th, with the members of Congress, who are also members of the advisory committee on policies and platform. Twenty-three members of the House and Senate were included on this committee. The meeting with them was held in the office of Senator Lodge and was for the purpose of receiving all suggestions and ideas which men in Congress, who are on the advisory committee on policies and platform might give with respect to the functioning of that committee.
The conference developed a useful exchange of views and deepened the impression here that the committee on policies and platform will be able to gather a great amount of useful suggestive material for the consideration of the resolutions committee and the convention at Chicago next June. Broadly speaking, as was indicated by Mr. Hays, it is expected that the policies and platform committee will deal with all of those subjects which are likely to be included in the consideration of the platform.
National Chairman Hays, in response to many inquiries as to the state of the public mind as he found it on his Western tour, made this statement:
"Everywhere I find the people, regardless of past party affiliations, seeking Republican success, moved with the conviction that by such success they will make certain:
"1st. An honest, efficient, economical, business administration of the country's affairs.
"2nd. That there will be developed and executed a plan for the reduction of taxes; with the repeal of taxes which kill initiative and the spreading of the war debt over a large number of years.
"3rd. That there will be developed a better relation between labor and capital, with justice to both, and with justice to the public, the third side of the triangle, which must never be forgotten.
"4th. That there shall be an administration of law and order everywhere in the nation.
"5th. That the party will measure its steps forward by the new needs of the nation, with its eyes always ahead, but with its feet always on solid ground."
Mr. Hays announced that Vice Chairman John T. Adams of the national committee, national committee man from Iowa, had consented to devote all of his time to work of an important character for the national committee and would be established in Washington at the Washington headquarters of the committee for some months to come.

POLICEWOMAN ROBINSON AS MATRON.
It is possibly not generally appreciated, but very true just the same, that Los Angeles has produced the first matron of a jail that has ever come forth from any metropolitan city in the person of Mrs. Georgia Robinson, who is at the present time serving in that capacity. However, be that as it may, and while we boil over wigh appreciation for this distinguished honor, we, in common with others, feel that Mrs. Robinson's personal attention in, around and among the young girls of the city is of greater value than even her present status as matron of the jail. She is needed. She was appointed with this condition in view, and as long as we have no other race woman on the force, Mrs. Robinson should indeed be right on the job. Her efficient mode of handling the young girls who are so often the victims of pernicious practices which she has been eminently successful in nipping in the bud.-California Eagle.
Boston, Mass., Feb. 14, 1920.
THE Jackson Diving & Construction Company, through its advertising manager, K. Hudnell, 34 Cornhill, Boston, gives out information to the effect that the U. S. government has submitted to the company enough sunken vessels on this side of the Atlantic ocean to keep the company busy for over twenty-five years.
Mr. Charles H. Jackson, a colored machinist, is the inventor and the largest stockholder. The company was organized to promote and exploit the ideas of Mr. Jackson. The company will start within a few weeks to salvage lost treasure. Now is the time to buy shares in the company at par $10.00.
The height of Mr. Jackson's ambition is to conduct a great corporation that will be a credit to his race. Mr. Jackson has spent many days and weeks working to this end. The fight that Mr. Jackson had was to maintain his patent rights and to hold the control of the company.
The greatest success ever known to mankind awaits the development of this great idea. There has never been in the world's history such opportunity for large salvage exploitations than there is now, at the close of the great world war.
The first week in December, 1919, the model was completed and diver Turner, (a diver of international fame) submerged to the depth of about 360 feet and found that he could do work on the floor of the oceans. When Turner returned to the surface he said that he was ready to go for the $30,000,000 in gold bullion that is lying in the hold of the British liner Laurentic which is lying off the Irish coast, a victim of the submarine warfare. This is only one of the many opportunities waiting for the demonstration of this machine.

LINCOLN AND DOUGLASS CELEBRATIONS UNDER AUSPICES OF DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION.
Brilliant Event Unearths Great Array of Talent Among Our People.
SHORTER CHURCH last Thursday evening sounded and resounded with speeches on the great American statesman, preserver of the Union and liberator of the Negro, the illustrious Abraham Lincoln, and a large audience greeted the efforts of the Denver Colored Civic Association, under whose auspices this celebration was given. The principal speakers were Chaplain H. Mansfield Collins, U. S. A., on "Abraham Lincoln," and Attorney S. E. Carey on "Frederick Douglass." They were introduced to the audience by Attorney Blakemore, who presided and who prepared the gathering for an intellectual treat with practical lessons beneficial to us in adjusting ourselves to present conditions. To say that both speakers filled their respective parts admirably and won themselves into the hearts of their auditors is to put it mildly, and the benefits derived from the reviewing of the lives and actions of the two immortal characters will serve ourselves and generations to the greatest advantage.
A banquet of choice preparations was served on the lower floor, to which many sat down. Capt. Thomas Campbell, as toastmaster, extended in his genial way the courtesy to guests to express themselves, when many short talks on the civic organization were indulged in. A very successful event was brought to a close with the singing of the national song, "America," and another milestone in the journey of the Denver Colored Civic Association will live long in the memory of those whose good fortune it was to be present.

NORTH CAROLINA JUDGE SCORES
JURY FOR ACQUITTING WHITE
CRIMINALS WHO ASSAULTED
15-YEAR-OLD WHITE GIRL.
Goldsboro, N. C.—"If you found it impossible to render a verdict of guilt in this case, then you should stop prosecuting Negroes for shooting craps and you should stop lynching Negroes for alleged assault."
Judge Bond of the Wayne County Superior court expressed this opinion in scoring the jury which returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of three young white men charged with criminal assault upon a 15-year-old white girl. Judge Bond, during his charge to the jury, had instructed them that the three men could be found guilty of criminal assault or simple assault, or could be found not guilty on either charge.
But when the verdict of not guilty was handed in by the jury, Judge Bond informed that body that he was sorely disappointed at their action. He said that "if I had sat on the jury I could
never have found such a verdict as you rendered, and if you found it impossible to render a verdict of guilty in this case, then you should stop prosecuting Negroes for shooting craps and you should stop lynching Negroes for alleged assault."
Order Men Rearrested.
Judge Bond immediately ordered the three defendants placed in the custody of the sheriff under three separate charges, i. e., two charges for violating the prostitution act and one for violation of the juvenile act. He required a bond of $1,000 in each case and informed the solicitor that he had the power to move the cases to another county.
The three men, Jasper Farmer, Sylvester Mathis and George Hopewell, are prominent citizens of Wayne County, and they were charged with having outraged Martha Outlaw, a 15-year-old girl, the alleged crime having been committed after the men had gotten rid of the girl's escort by a trick. In her testimony the girl declared that the brutes had assaulted her twelve times!

SCHOOLS.
Boston, Mass., Feb. 6.—It was announced today by the Rev. J. A.

LABOR AGENTS HELD AS RACE LEAVES SOUTH.
Natchez, Miss., Jan. 30.—Sam Allen and Lee Davis, both white, alleged labor agents for northern manufacturers, were arrested here last Saturday by policemen and held under an affidavit of transporting labor out of the state without a license, in violation of the state law. Letters giving instructions as to the securing and transporting of men were found on them, and it is believed that the arrests will lead to others.
An investigation was instituted when it was learned that labor agents were taking advantage of the opportunity to send men north who had been mistreated by white southerners. Lynchings in the surrounding towns have served to cause such unrest, and people are leaving by the scores, that the planters engaged every force to locate the source of-the agency.
Great Value of Redwood.
Redwood lumber is largely used on the Pacific coast, as it has great natural resistance to rot and fire. Heart redwood when placed in contact with the ground will remain in good condition for 25 years or more, whereas a great many other species rot out in a few years. The redwood heartwood is also able to repel the attacks of decay-producing fungi, because of the presence of tannin, oils and resinus obnoxious to fungi.

FRENCH GENERAL MAKES RE

HUNS HAVE AIRPLANES
SUPREME COUNCIL MAY TAKE DEFINITE ACTION ON EXTRADITION PROTEST.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, Feb. 13.—The German army is still 400,000 strong, according to a report received by the committee of foreign affairs from General Niessel, head of the Baltic mission. In addition there are 100,000 policing forces, officers and non-commissioned officers.
Germany also is well supplied with tanks, machine guns and airplanes. In the neutral zone on the right bank of the Rhine the policing forces number 15,000. General Nielssel adds that the German minister of defense, Noske, is in the hands of the general staff and that the German government is capable, if willing, of obtaining execution of the treaty clauses by the country.
London.—The allied supreme council, after discussing the situation arising from Germany's violent protest over the extradition demands, agreed on the question of insisting upon these demands.
It is probable that the position of the allies will be set forth soon in a statement. This may take the form of another communication to Germany or possibly one to Holland. As far as can be ascertained, however, nothing definite has been decided regarding any further steps to be taken toward Holland.
The council in dealing with other questions decided that financial experts of the allied governments, many of whom are here, should meet soon to discuss the problem of international exchange in an effort to devise a plan for its stabilization.

ARE YOU GUILTY?
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."

‘They marched into a town of empty
streets, closed doors, and drawn blinds
—those men with sharp spiked hel-
mets. ‘Their heavy tramp upon the
cobble-stones resounded in the narrow
rain-drenched laney until they halted
in the little square. Frightened eyes
peeped from behind the shuttered win-
dows—watched yet dreaded to see.
‘The Germans had taken Aerschot. As
the heavy clouds blackened Into night,
the only lights were those made by the
troops in the square.
‘The house of Mathieu There was
dark like the others,
“Mother, let's light the lamp. It’s
so awful here in the dark."
“No Andre, we mustn't. Be brave
like your brothers. See, Pierre and
Paul don’t mind the dark, do you my
sons?” Madam ‘There put a reasurring
arm about her youngest and felt his
shoulders stiffen.
‘Phe two boys stood with their father
at the other window.
“No, I don't mind the dark but I am
hungry.” Plerre was two years older
than Andre, too old to fear the dark
and too young to fear the Germans.
But Paul did not answer. He stood
with his arm locked within his father’s
and stared out grimly at the moving
silhouettes. His army had refused him
just because he was a year or so too
young, What Aifferance did age make?
He was as strong as any man and he
mightshave been out fighting instead
of hiding here in the dark.
‘The soldiers were stirring about and
forming into small detachments. Their
helmets gleamed in the flickering light
of the street lamps. A sharp order
was given,
“They are coming,” said Mathieu
‘There,
‘The butt of a gun thudded on the
street door. “Come out, come out
where we can see you. Come out or
you shall feel fire.”
“Let us go together. Tt fs all that
we cau do.” The father led his fam-
fly Into the street.
Quickly the narrow lanes filled as
the houses emptied—filled with people
who dared not speak aloud. “What
are they going to do?” “Where are
we going?” “What are they doing
now?’ The terrified whispers ques-

tioned. In the ll-lit streets, faces
peered trying to recognize neighbors,
Then came the order to tmarch with
upraised arms. Families were sepa-
rated. Lost babies cried, Women
shrieked the names of their husbands
and children, Everywhere was con-
fusion. But in spite of it all, Mathieu
und Madame There and their sons
managed to keep together till the peo-
ple were herded into the market-place
before the church, A light was coming
from somewhere behind them—a light
that grew redder and redder,
“Mother, mother, what is {t?”
“Hush, Andre, I do not know.”
“t's the houses. They've fired the
town.” Paul's voice was thick.
‘The crowd was ordered about. “You
wouldn't have lights? Well you have
them now,” a German voice taunted
“See them?”
‘As the flames whipped over the
roofs, the soldiers went through the
throng. “We are going to Paris,” they
said, "your men and boys must march
ahead of us.”
Madame There stood as her husband
and sons were marched away—stood
with the other women gazing wide-
eyed and mute. The flames of the
town died down and the gray dawn
came to the women huddled together
in the market place. ‘The soldiers
laughed into thelr grief-filled faces,
“Go home.” They said, “Go to your
homes.”
Home! Madame ‘here, scarcely
knowing what she did, went to # heap
of bricks and mortar facing the square.
Part of a charred wall was standing
and she started through its sagging
doorway. Suddenly there burst a fu-
silade. She listened and again the
shots rang out. She hurried to the
square where other women ran about.
“Our soldiers are coming {0 help us.
"They are fighting. Hear!" But no, It
could not be that for no more shots
were fired.
“Sh—what is he saying?”
“Your men are not going with us te
Paris, They are too much trouble
Youll Gnd them in the Geld east ot
town.”
And they saw them—twe hundred
men and boys lying riddled with bul
lets, Madame There found her tus
band and Paul with Andre betwee
them and near them lay Pierre. In
cart, she carried them to the churet
yard and there she made a prayer and
buried them herself. for the prices

She moved about as one tn a dream

Slowly the long days dragged for
Madame There, living with others in
a house not wholly gutted. But she
had a task to perform. In the wreek
of her home she found the flat top of
a table, She took it away with her
and, secretly, she worked and scraped
at it until It was smooth and clean

One by one irregular letters grew and
straggled over the board. The people
who knew her wondered, and they
whispered among themselves, “What
is wrong with Hermine There? Sure-
ly her mind ts gone.” And the soldiers
who saw her each day stepped aside
to let her pass, for they feared the
woman who never spoke with her lips
but whose eyes burned into their souls.
‘The sentry tramped up and down In
the moonlight and his thoughts were
far away. The same moon was shin
ing In Germany on a little village like
this one and here he had to stay guard
ing a cemetery where no one wanted
to come and from which no one could
go. At home—he didn't see the
crouching figure dart behind the hedge
as he turned the corner. In the mort:
ing, he wondered at the wooden tublet
which seemed to have grown over:
night:
Here lie
Mathieu ‘There
and hig sons
Paul, Pierre, and Andre,
guiltless, murdered by
the Boche Barbarians.
Madame There hurried to answer
the sharp rap at the door, “Is this
yours?” demanded the soldier. In his
hand was the wooden tablet.
“It is mine.”
“Don't leave It about,” he growled
and flung it at her feet.
“It will stay one day In spite of
you,” she cried.
Day after day, he met her going to
church, She became so worn and
emaciated thut It seemed only her
spirit was alive. but It gleamed bright-
ly and more brightly In the flame of
her eyes. And so the long time passed.
Always the German soldier thought
the fire of Madame There would sure-
ly burn out, but daily her challenge
scorched into his consclence.
‘Then in the chill autumn, came word
that was unbelievable. An armistice
had been signed. The firing had
stopped, and the Germans were or-
dered to leave Aerschot.
For the last time the sentry guard-
ed the cemetery. For the first time
the dawn flushed on a quiet world. As
the light grew, the soldier looked
about. What was that? He entered
the churchyard. At the head of the
four graves, the wooden mark stood
firmly:
Here tle

FREDERICK DOUGLASS, THE INSPIRER
FREDERICK DOUGLASS can be well termed the inspirer of his race, as from the day of his birth, February 14, 1817, to the day of his death, February 20, 1895, he was endowed with an inclination to serve his people, and the history of this country of the twentieth century would be incomplete if it did not contain a tribute to the memory of this great Leader of our race, as well as one of the moving spirits in the cause of rescue from serfdom by his continuous agitation for the rights of humanity. Let us remember him as being worthy of the association of other great minds whose birthdays we celebrate, and in pondering over his accomplishments for his race, we say a word of encouragement to those of us who have profited by his life and works as well as pass an enconium upon his blissful memory. "Lives of great men all remind us," etc.
LINCOLN, THE IMMORTAL
LAST Thursday, February 12th, brought us to the one hundred and eleventh anniversary of our beloved emancipator, Abraham Lincoln. The same was celebrated by all Americans who are conscious of the great expression that came from Lincoln, "No nation can exist half bond, half free." Various events, consisting of the usual platform exercises, in which eulogies of a man who has made America a better place to live in and who, out of the righteousness of his soul, gave to the world a historical record that will never be effaced while time lasts.
But a little more than fifty years ago the principles on which our republic was built belied themselves, and while the world looked on with utter contempt, this character Lincoln, we may say, was actually raised up from humble but religious parentage to perform an act which not only met the gratitude of the sons of earth, but the approval of Heaven, whose creative Source brought to a successful termination the bloody war and sacrifice which lifted the yoke from humanity's neck. We, the beneficiaries of this freedom from physical enslavement, now find ourselves in combat with an ARCH ENEMY purposing mental serfdom, which necessarily must result in ignorance, superstition and vice.
It therefore follows that even though by our resolutions we are instituting the action of self-help, yet it can clearly be seen that we must have some modern Lincolnns with hearts pulsating with the love of real freedom in the shape of our state and national representatives to assist in opening avenues of learning whereby this mental slavery may be removed. In certain parts of our country black and white alike are sadly in need of the intelligence that caters to self-respecting manhood and womanhood, inadequate school facilities, incompetent teaching staff and other contributory negligence comprising the agencies that reflect the unfortunate condition transpiring in our land of greatness. And, as true disciples of our revered leader, we felt that this was a fitting time to honor his memory by causing such reforms to be made as will be conducive to the betterment of our people and the success of the government. In celebrating the birthday of this illustrious character let us as good and loyal citizens of a democracy that admits no superior resolve to use our utmost influence to correct these evils within our nation, so that we may receive further blessings, being imbued with the spirit of Lincoln, who ever lives in our hearts as A TRUE STANDARD OF LIBERTY.
fluenza. Through the efforts of Mrs. Muse the choir has been called together and reorganized and is doing fine under the leadership of Mr. Wilkinson, who is a first-class vocal music teacher. The church gave a grand reception Thursday evening, January 29th, in honor of their new pastor and wife, Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse. A lovely program was arranged and carried out for the occasion. Addresses of welcome were made by the following named persons; Mrs. M. F. Gailter in behalf of the church; Mrs. K. Simons in behalf of the B. Y. P. U.; Mrs. Ed Mansfield in behalf of the Woman's Home and Foreign Missionary Society; Mrs. M. Earl in behalf of the Sunday school, and Deacon C. J. Corbett in behalf of the city. A beautiful song sung by the Woodland quartet, Messrs. Wilkinson, Corbett, Machen and Alexander. Plenty of good music throughout the program on piano, mandolin and cornet, by Messrs. Keith, Jr., Machen brothers, Keith, Sr., and Williams. Master Milton Earl and Miss Florence Machen rendered lovely pieces of music on the piano. The program closed with responses by Rev. and Mrs. Muse, after which everybody marched to the dining hall, where all enjoyed the refreshments prepared for the occasion. Mrs. M. Earl, chairman of the program; Mrs. Ed Mansfield and Mrs. Wm. Keith, committee on refreshments.
The influenza that is now spreading in our city has caused the board of health to put the lid on all public gatherings—theaters, churches, pool halls, dance halls, lodges and all such like. The flu is not serious yet, but the object for closing is to close before it becomes serious and to prevent further spread of the diseases. Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse, Dconon J. C. Corbett, Miss Annie Widner and Mrs. M. F. Gaither were delegates to the Sacramento Valley Baptist District convention that convened at Stockton, Cal., January 21-22.
Mr. William Miles Keith, Jr., will give a piano recital on the 22nd at the Second Baptist church, providing that the flu ban is lifted by that time. Mr. Keith graduated January 30, 1920, at the Woodland High school. He is a music teacher and several of our people are grasping the opportunity to take lessons from him.
Mrs. Jennie Eligan has returned from Oakland, Cal., where she was attending the wedding of her daughter, who was married on January 7th. The Second Baptist seems to be making great progress in the new year's work under the pastorialship of Rev. J. T. Muse and his efficient wife, Mrs. Muse. The congregation has increased every Sunday up to the time of closing up on account of the in-

America's Assets: People, Institutions, as Well as Physical Resources.
By SECRETARY FRANKLIN K. LANE, in New York Times.
The basis for confidence in the future of America lies in its past and its present; in its past, because we can see what has been done; in its present, because we know what we have that can be the basis of future development. Our assets are our people, our institutions, our physical resources. That is to say, we have greater resources than the mere continent itself.
PETER H. BURGESS
The breed of men that we have, their attitude toward life and each other is more important even than the number of our acres and the greatness of our mineral resources and of our industries.
We are in every way a young people, and we look at things with youthful daring and with youthful selfishness, too.
No one has said that we are lacking in self-appreciation. We are emotional, sentimental, romantic, idealistic, and these things go for the making of standards which affect us in everything we do. Our sense of humor and our common sense save us from extremes and keep these up-in-the-air tendencies within the limitations of practicability.
With this kind of a nature, a daring, aggressive, mastering nature, tempered by standards of fair play, plus a good conceit of ourselves and an almost inordinate ambition to excel, individually and collectively, there is not much danger of our becoming stagnant or settling down complacently or cynically into a flat-footed life.
We shall not do things in the twentieth century in the same way we did them in the nineteenth, but we shall have the same purpose—which is to give to every man his chance. We will not permit ourselves as a people to be rounded up into a mass and rolled into a jelly cake, so to say, but as individuals we shall feel a responsibility to meet the challenges which physical and social conditions give.

By SENATOR DAVIS ELKINS of West Virginia.
My experience and observations as a member of the United States senate have convinced me that the rules of that body should be changed to conform with our modern methods of doing business expeditiously. The senate is hampered in prompt and efficient action quickly responsive to the wishes of the American people by antiquated methods. It is a slave to hoary traditions, custom and precedent.
The senate wastes time, doesn't function efficiently, is almost always behind in registering public sentiment, and is unbusinesslike and entirely out of step with modern methods, all because it has tied itself helplessly with a set of rules which are out of date and because it blindly worships outworn, inefficient and impractical customs, precedents and practices.
I think that the senate should come to and wake up, and get itself on a modern business foundation. It needs to be made over so as to function efficiently and promptly respond to the will of the people, whose servant it is. The place to make that beginning is on its aged and moss-covered rules.
Fifteen Years May Be Added to the Average American Term of Life.
Fifteen years has been added to the average length of human life in the United States of America since the Civil war. In the work of the medical profession lies the best hope for the future.
With our present knowledge and under present conditions fifteen years more might be added to the life of man in this country within the next twenty years. It is certain that ten years will be added at the most productive age from the standpoint of industry and will greatly aid in maintaining our position as the most productive nation.
When I was a boy it was difficult for a man of 40 to find a new job, and for a man of 50 it was practically impossible. Today the older men are great assets to the country. In the prolongation of their lives their skill and experience in their particular work counts for much. They are less inflammable; they have family ties and responsibilities; they have something to lose; so that they are less under the influence of the violent agitator.
If, as a nation, we advance the time of production for each person ten years we can well afford to shorten hours of work and improve living conditions. We shall be able to compete with those countries in which long hours and poor living conditions shorten human life and eventually decrease production and increase social unrest.

FAITHFULNESS TO DUTY BRINGS
REWARD TO EMPLOYE.
When Millionaire Wrigley of "chewing gum" fame selected Edward J. Wicks, for years chief steward of his boat plying between Los Angeles harbor and the Catalina Islands, to go to New York with a crew to return with his boat—"The Abalon," which will sale in a few days via the Panama canal, he demonstrated the real meaning of the old expression "Work will bring its own reward, then work! work! work!" And this act by Mr. Wrigley is not in the order of the novelty situation, or to pronounce him a benefactor of our race, but purely what comes of all honest and fair-minded employers to faithful, honest tollers who in the end win such recognition, having insured the respect and confidence of their chiefs for several years. Mr. Wicks, accompanied by C. L. and Roy Wicks, C. Bruntley and Clarence Young, left Los Angeles Wednesday of last week, passing through Colorado on Friday, when they ran into a representative of The Colorado Statesman who gleaned some facts about the new boat, the trade, etc. The boat was built in the Brooklyn yards and is said to be the finest and best equipped of its type for the Pacific trade. The men will call Emporia, Topeka and other points in Kansas, also at Chicago before reaching New York. They beg to give their kindest regards to Denver, as the Wicks brothers are well known here, having spent many years of life in this city of the plains, and regret that Denver could not be included in their overland itinerary as they made quite a number of friends here. That they will have a successful voyage with "The Abalon" in their sea voyage, and that a maintenance of the prestige established for all these years may serve as an incentive for future rewards, as well as an example for more of us to follow, are the best wishes of "The Colorado Statesman," coupled with long life and a greater career of usefulness for Mr. Wicks and crew. Recognition of this type will surely help to uphold our vaunted AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.
MIXED RACES VALUABLE TO
NATION, SAYS PROFESSOR.
"Race and not nationality decides the potentialities of a nation," declared Prof. George A. Barker of the Colorado State Teachers' College in his address, "Race and Language Factors in the New Europe," delivered last night at the Capitol Hill Open Forum, held in the auditorium of the Plymouth Congregational church.
Professor Barker told of many of the problems brought before the peace conference and showed how great a factor racial difference proved in deciding these problems.
"The great nationalities of the world," declared Professor Barker, "are the mixed races, for in the mixed races there is, always the race that can best handle problems of advancing civilization and always someone who can master the situation."

WILLIAM ARRINGTON.
Y. M. C. A. NOTES.
Secretary Bell returned this week from Pueblo, where he had been attending the annual convention of the Y. M. C. A. The convention, he said, was a success in every particular. Great and inspiring addresses were made by different speakers from different sections of the country. Five colored secretaries and delegates were present. He will give a brief account of his visit at the meeting next Sunday afternoon. Preparations are still under way for the great get-together banquet which is being planned for the evening of the 23rd. The committee will hold another meeting, at which definite arrangements will be made in time to get the announcement in the notes for the week.
On account of the storm which came up just about the time for the gathering, the meeting at Fern hall last Sunday afternoon was lightly attended. The Rev. Dr. Stripling gave his noted address on "Lillian Simmons." On account of the absence of the secretary from the city during the past week the increase of the membership over the previous week was only one. That coming in during the past week was Eugene McWilliams, bringing the membership to 687. Mr. A. A. Waller reports good success in the collection of unpaid memberships.
The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be held as usual at Fern hall and will consist of a red-hot debate, the question being, "Resolved, that the recently enacted prohibition amendment will not solve the evils of the liquor traffic." There will be two speakers on each side. After the opening of the debate the question will be given to the house for a brief general discussion. The program will begin promptly at 4 o'clock and everybody will be admitted.

Notes.
After a great sermon by the pastor last Sunday, Sister Emma Banks and
Bro, Bob Watkins came over on the side of Christ. The Holy Spirit came into the church when Bro. Bob shook off the chains of sin. His mother, Mrs. Watkins, was there to witness her son's new start in life. Other visitors were Mrs. Elliot, Mrs. Williams, Mr. Chas, Young, Mr. C, L Phelps of Chicago, III.; Mr. Biedsoe, Mr. Harry Cecille and Mr. James Mance.
The evening was spent with the Allen Christian Endeavor League and in spite of the fact that it was a stormy evening a good crowd was present, and heard a splendid program. Rev. Burwell of Ward Mission rendered a master piece when he talked on "True Leadership." Mr. D. D. Howard gave a splendid outline on the "Life of Bishop Allen."
A troop of Boy Scouts, lead by Mr. Parks, observed the tenth anniversary by standing at attention and reciting their oath to God and country. Mrs. Winn spoke in behalf of the Y. W. C. A. drive, in which that branch is making an effort to help the girls and young women of this city.
The drive is on to improve the seating and to install a pipe organ in Campbell. We are sure the members and friends will help us, and that the slacker class will be small.
Mr. Alexander Wilson of Cincinnatus, New York, brother to I. S. Wilson, pastor of Campbell Chapel, will be in the city Friday on a visit to his brother. Mr. Wilson is a farmer and a business man.
The sick list are Mrs. C. Lewis, Mrs. Mary Jenkins, Mrs. Wyman, Mrs. Hathaway, Mrs. Ida Allen, Mr. and Mrs. T. T. Turner, Mrs. M. C. Daniels and Brother Flemming.
Godfish Had Swallowed Watch.
The fishing smack Hoodeneganset, Captain Skidmore of Essex, Conn., had, among several interesting marine relics, a lady's gold watch taken from the stomach of a codfish near the reef off Nantucket, Mass.

Capitol Petroleum
For some time past The Capitol Petroleum Company has been negotiating with representatives of a Swedish Syndicate to sub-lease and operate a portion of our Mexican holdings, and with this end in view the syndicate has had an expert engineer in Mexico for the past six months making a thorough investigation of desirable oil lands for development.
The Capitol Petroleum Company feels proud of its Mexican properties, as our leases were determined upon after many others had been examined, notwithstanding the fact that our prices were higher than others.
The syndicate proposes to drill two wells at once. One at Quebrache and the other at Tampouche on the Panuco River.
In addition to a large contract price for the purchase of these leases the Capitol Petroleum Company will retain a royalty on all oil, gas or other minerals produced.
The negotiations, which have been pending for over six weeks, have gone as far as possible by correspondence and cable and now two representatives of the syndicate and one representative of The Capitol Petroleum Company are en route to London and Stockholm, Sweden, to conclude details and sign the final contracts.
Owing to the fact that February 15th comes on Sunday the date of closing the stock books will be extended one day; therefore, the books will be open for transfer on Monday, the 16th.

It is not proposed that the chair shall be exclusively attached to one
university, but that it shall be used for the general purpose of stimulating
Interest and study of America in all the British universities.
Nelther will the chair be held permanently by one scholar of a single
nationality. The scheme provides that it shall be held, for 2 period of one
to two ‘years. alternately by an American and a British scholar or public man
—thus drawing upon the best intellectual resources of the two countries, and
securing a variety of treatment of the subjects dealt with.
This novel kind of foundation has been selected by a special committee of
the Anglo-American society, under the chairmanship of Lord Glenconer,
The comiaittee is of opinion that ihis foundation would greatly assist
to create In Great Britain a wider knowledge of America today, and of the

Virgin Islanders Want Local Civil Government
ne HE 75.000 people of the three Virgin islands in the West Indies, which
the United States purchased In 1917 from the Danish government for $25,-
400.000. think It is high time they should have local civil government. Up
the House of Representatives, to be appointed by the Vice President of the
United States, and the Speaker of the House, respectively. is hereby created
to visit the Virgin Islands and to report fully to Congress as to existing con-
ditions in the said islands, and particularly to report and recommend action
by Congress, if need there be therefor, with reference to whether the present
government under executive direction should be superseded by civil government
provided by Congress as contemplated by act of March 3, 1917 (39 Stat. p.
182), said government being now only temporary in character and by order
of the President being now vested in officers of the Navy; also, as to whether
Congress should at this time provide for a civil government of the islands
by an organic, act; also what, If any, legislation is necessary pending the
existing in the islands. Said report to be filed at the earliest date practicable,
and during the Sixty-sixth Congress.”
‘The United States bought the Virgin Islands so that Germany should not
acquire them, They are on the way to the Panama canal.
‘The people of the islands have asked for this commission, their idea being:
that it should hold hearings and give them a chance to set forth their needs,

E a new type of multiple charge, high efficiency rocket that will penetrate
the 200 miles of the earth’s atmosphere and possibly shoot to the moon is
gent completely through the band of the earth's atmosphere and into the
Ghiereal tiyaleriea beyond,
With a rocket of his latest designed type, welghing 1,274 pounds Initial
mass, Professor Goddard claims it will penetrate to unmeasured heights and
lead to great discoveries. The announcement from the Smithsonian Institu-
tion states that Professor Goddard is at present perfecting the reloading
mechunism of his rocket under a grant from the institution, and it fs hoped
that a demonstration of its practicability and value can be made soon.
“The apparatus,” says the Smithsonian announcement, “designed and
tested by Professor Goddard is a multiple-charge, high efficiency rocket of
an entirely new design. The determining factor of the efficiency of a rocket
is the velocity of ejection of the gases due to the explosion of the propelling
material. Professor Goddard has raised the efficiency of the rocket from 2
per cent to nearly 64 per cent.
“The great scientific value of Professor Goddard's experiments lies in the
possibility of sending recording apparatus to moderate and extreme altitudes
within the earth’s atmosphere. The nature of the higher levels of the air
han for a long time been a subject of much speculation.”

DAY SACRED TO
LOVE MISSIVES
T WAS an enterprising young girl
who first captured the valentine
trade for America. Her name was
Esther Howland, After graduat-
ing from Mount Holyoke seminary she
resided with her father, who was a
stationer in Worcester, Mass. In 1849
she received from England a manufac-
rured valentine, the first she had ever
seen, It interested her so much that
she decided to see whether she could
make some of these valentines and
find a sate for them,
She collected some lace paper, some
printed verses and sentimental ple-
tures, fixed up a few valentines and
guve them to her brother, who was a
traveling salesman for a grocery store.
To her amazement her brother re-
turned with orders for $5,000 worth
of valentines !»Her astonishment knew
no hounds. She oulckly got together
some girl friends, taught them what
she knew about valentines and com-
menced a prosperous trade that was
to reach the one hundred thousand
dollar mark.
First Love Missives.
It was a Frenchman who first con-
ceived the Idea of composing valen-
tines in verse, Charles, Duke of Or-
leans, was taken prisoner by the Eng-
lish at the battle of Agincourt, In 1415.
He was consigned to the Tower of
London, where he spent the next twen-
ty-five years of his life. But the cold
walls of his dungeon could not com-
pletely dampen his sentimental na-
ture, and from his gloomy vault came
sunny little verses to the number of
sixty, which are still to be seen among
the royal papers in the stald old Brit-
ish museum. One of them reads:
Wilt thou be mine? Dear love, reply.
Sweetly consent or else deny.
Whisper softly, none shall know—
Wilt thou be mine, love? Aye or no?
Spite of fortune we may be
Happy. by one word from thee,
Life Mies swiftly. Bre Jt go,
Wilt thou be mine, love ‘Aye or no?
England at once adopted the fad
which {ts royal prisoner had set, and
Valentine's day found the coaches
more than usually laden with poetic
outpourings of lovers, friends and
even slight acquaintances,
Old Romance Recalled.
One of the most romantic histories
of Valentine ehildren ts that of Lady
Sarah Lennox, born on February 14,
1745, In fact, she apparently inherited
a romantic temperament, for her own
story 1s usually prefaced with a sketch
of her parents’ romance--by way of
driving home the story's admonition,
perhaps.
Her father’s marriage was no more
nor less than a bargain to cancel a
gambling debt between the couple's
parents, The young duke, then Lord
March, was brought home from col-
lege to wed the plain little girl-bride
just out of nursery, At the conclusion
of the ceremony the indignant bride-
groom fled to the continent with a
tutor In tow, where he spent three
years. On his return to London he
carefully avoided going home, where
e fancied a wrathful young woman
was walting to swoon at his arrival.
Instead, he went straight to the
theatre and saw there a very hand-
some lady, He cursed his luck, but had
breath left te ask who she might be.
“Lady March, the toast of the season,”
informed bis friends, to his utter as-
tonishment. ‘Then he blessed his tuck,
slaimed his bride and, as It turned out,
was very happy to the end. Her love

was so great, too, that she died of
grief for him after a year of widow-
hood.
Sentiment and Business,
Samuel Pepys has something to say
im his famous dlary about most of
Joys and disturbances, great and small,
with which human nature is acquaint-
ed. Consequently one does not need to
search very far to find allusions to
Valentine's day and the customary
pranks that {t involved in the England
of the seventeenth century.
On February 14, 1667, the following
entry is made in the diary:
“This morning came up to my wife's
bedside (I being up dressing myself)
Uttle Will Mercer to be her valen-
tine, and brought her name written
upon blue paper in gold letters, done
by himself, very pretty; and we were
both well pleased with it, But I am
also this year my wife's valentine,
and {t will cost me five pounds; but
thet I must have laid it out if we
had not been valentines.”
America’s Noted Valentine,
America’s most noted valentine was
General Winfield Scott Hancock, born
February 14, 1824. The witching In-
fluence of the saint's festival hover-
ing about him manifested Itself in the
culmination of his romance. In her
“Reminiscences,” written In old age,
Mrs. Hancock (who was Miss Almira
Russell) tells of her strange wedding
and proves that, after all, the Amert-
can girl has determination to rise
above superstitions,
To start with, her wedding day was
one of the stormiest of the winter. It
hailed violently, thundered and blew
‘a perfect gale. During the ceremony.
which was held at her father’s home
in St. Louls, the lights went out three
times and repeated the performance
at the wedding reception. The guests
were filled with terror for the young
bride who was beginning life under
such suggestively evil omens, And by
way of enhancing the evil influences
that appeared to be abroad the crowd
outside the house got the word that
the bride was wearing a spun glass
dress, and their curiosity reached the
point of mob violence before the police
could beat them back to make room
for the passage of guests.
But the bride laughed In the face
of these witches’ pranks and lived to
share the honors that her husband's
career brought him.

Curing Mutton Given a Product Similar to Ham.
Allow three days’ cure fer each
pound in a leg or shoulder; stlso three
days for small pieces. For example,
2 10-pound leg will take 30 days. The
brine should be made the day before it
is used, so that it will be cool. All the
Ingredients are poured into the water
and boiled until thoroughly mixed.
Place the legs on the bottom of the
container, shoulders next; the smail
cuts should be on top. Be sure to
weight down with a stone or brick.
Iron should not be used, as it will
rust. Pour in the brine, and be sure ft
covers the ment thoroughly. In one
week pour off the brine and change
the meat, placing the top meat on the
bottom and bottom meat on top, then
pour back the brine. Repeat this op-
eration at weekly intervals. If the
pickle becomes ropey, take out all the
meat and wash ft and the container
thoroughly. Boil the ropey pickle—or.
better, make new pickle. If the old
pickle is boiled, tt should be strained
before boiling.
When each piece of meat has re:
ceived the proper cure take it out of
the pickle, string, and hang in_ the
smokehouse. The temperature of th¢
smokehouse should not exceed 12%
degrees F, Smoke the meat until i
lias a good chestnut color.
It has been found more convenient
in preparing meats in this manner tc
brine-cure the light pieces and dry
cure all the larger pieces, The reasor
for this is that the smaller pieces will
shrink considerably, and, if dry-cured
leave only a comparatively small por
tion of meat.
Dry-Cured Meat.
Dry-cured meat is better for future
use than the brine-cured and means
less work. Danger from rats and
other yermin is less in the case o1
brine-cured meat. Both methods of
curing will be successful if care is
taken to see that each operation fs
properly executed. Following is the
method or dry-curing.
For each 100 pounds of meat, use:
T pounds salt 2 ounces saltpeter
3 pounds of sugar 2 ounces red pepper
or sirup 2 ounces black pep:
per
Mix all ingredients thoroughly, then
rub the mixture over the meat well
and pack It away in a box or on a
tuble. Allow one and one-half days
cure for each pound the pieces of
meat average. After the meat has
cured, hang it in the smokehouse.
(Prepared by the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
If you live in the country and your
family likes mutton but Is inclined to
grow tired of it before a whole
carcass can be utilized, why not cure
and smoke the legs and shoulders?
Many farmers hesitate to kill a sheep
or lamb because the family tires of it,
or @ part of the meat spoils before the
entire careass is consumed.
By curing and smoking a part of the
carcass may be used as fresh meat
and the remainder used at a later
date.
Farm-killed lamb or mutton is usual-
ly one of the cheapest and at the same
time one of the most wholesome of
meats, but it has never been served
so extensively on the country table ax
in the city. One reason for this, doubt-
less, has been lack of knowledge of
how to preserve, when cold-storage
facilities are unobtainable, the mutton
which could not be eaten fresh be-
fore it spolled.
Cure Shoulders and Legs.
The farmer who slaughters two
lnmbs or mature sheep in place of one
of the hogs that he usually butchers
at home, and who cures the shoulders
and legs, can provide the family table
with meat variety at little cost and
trouble.
Lamb or mutton is as easily cured
and smoked as is pork and produces a
product similar to ham, according to
specialists in the United States depart
ment of agriculture, who have been
conducting experiments in the curing
and smoking of these meats. The cured
meat can be cooked in any or all
of the ways that cured pork shoulders
and hams are cooked, and adds variety
to the farm table.
‘The first essential thing in curing ts
to make sure the meat is thoroughly
cooled. Ment should never be frozen,
either prior to or during the period of
curing. The proper time to begin cur.
ing is when the meat is thoroughly
cooled and still fresh. Twenty-four to
thirty-six hours after killing is the op-
portune time.
Brine-Cured Meat.
Many different formulas may be
used for curing mutton by the brine
method, but the recipe given below, ff
followed closely, will give good results.
Vor each 100 pounds of meat use:
7 pounds salt 2 ounces saltpeter
tg pounds sugar or 4% gallons water

IN PREPARING FOOD
Best to Select Those Requiring
Long, Slow Cooking.
Various Veuetabies and Meats Can Be
Baked in Oven and Cereals can
Be Gooked in Double Boiler
on Top of Stove.
When a slow fire is needed all day
to heat a kitchen, select foods that re-
quire long, slow cooking. Beans, peas,
‘nd roasts can be baked in the oven
and cereals can be cooked in a double
Doiler on the top of the stove.
In broiling over 2 coal or wood fire
put the broiler through the door over
the fire hox instead of taking off the
lids and cooling the fire.
Use double broilers, steamers, and
compartment vessels which fit ever
one burner on a gas or oil stove.
Bggs or small vegetables may be
cooked in the bottom part of the
doiler while cereals are cooked in the
upper part, according to U. S. depart
ment of agriculture specialists.
‘A colander or wire basket fitted
‘over a saucepan makes a good steam
‘er. Vegetables, such as carrots, may
he steamed in the colander while pots:
‘toes are boiled in the saucepan.
For slow cooking on 2 gas stove ust

foods require long cooking, but keer

USE CARAMEL IN FLAVORING
It May Be Used Successfully in Cus:
tards, Ice Creams and Mary
Other Table Dishes.
Flavorings, like most other grocer-
tes, have advanced in price, A home-
made flavoring which is not new but
which {s cheap and always delicious
is caramel. Its more frequent use is
recommended by the United States de:
partment of agriculture kitchen to
those who wish to economize. It may
be used successfully in custards, ice
creams, and many other desserts.
To make caramel flavoring, place
one cupful of sugar in an fron sauce
pan, Heat it until well browned, stir
ring constantly even after the dish has
been taken from the fire and until the
danger of burning is past. Before the
mixture hardens add one-fourth cupful
‘of hot water and cook the mixture
until it 1s about the consistency of
thick sirup. Bottle and save for use
when needed.

COLORADO STATESMAN
The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West
THERE is a charm that belongs to the bud and no one knows how to interpret it so well in clothes as the specialists who center their minds on this subject. Everything she wears is as carefully thought out as if she were quite grown up; she just cannot help looking well in the things made for her to wear on the street, for sports or for parties.
A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.
She need not envy her older sisters their fascinating evening gowns when fashion grants her the privilege of such alluring frocks for evening dress as that shown in the picture. It is all in white and light green, white satin making the foundation, skirt and bodice and green tulle veiling them. Tulle makes the short sleeves and the very simple tunic bound with a silver braid, and a cluster of silver berries on the corsage add just the right touch of cool brightness to set off white and green. These berries appear again on the tunic at the sides. One could hardly ask more
Frocks That
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.
WHEN summer comes and little folks make their short, daily voyages of discovery into the big world about them, they will discover a number of things besides kittens and cookies. There will be the new clothes that are all ready for spring time, made to be cool and comfortable, and to stand wear and washing. These are in preparation now.
TWODOLLARSAYEAR
Every year the responsibility grows less, because so much reliance may be placed on ready-made garments for children of all ages. There is some economy of money in making the clothes at home, where the item of labor is not figured in the cost of producing them. Even when the sewing is undertaken at home, the responsibility of designing need not be assumed. One cannot do better than to pattern the dresses, rompers and other things, after the garments that manufacturers of children's clothes turn out. They are all ready to be put on display immediately after Christmas. The very little boy and girl are going to find themselves next summer enjoy life in such sensible and good-looking clothes as those pictured above. Strong cotton clothes-per

of life than a pair of silver slippers and white silk stockings to wear with such a frock, and they are the good fortune of the very up-to-date young girl who is displaying her finery in the picture.
With a foundation skirt and baby waist of satin to build on we may ring several changes in overdresses and bodices for evening wear. A full long skirt of colored tulle and a bodice with short puffed sleeves, finished off with a fichu and sash ends of tulle, will challenge comparisons. Then there are frocks with wide tucks about the skirt, and kilmono bodices, made of crepe georgette. Fine white volle is lovely over a color and the accommodating designers of young girls' clothes approve of embroidery—if it is not overdone—and they use silver and gold thread stitching. A circlet of small flowers about the head is always the privilege of young girls and they are taking advantage of it now.
Befit Youth
cales, cotton poplin, chambray, Peteen Pan cloth and the like—make them and they are simply trimmed with needle work. Small variation in the details of cutting and construction make the new garments interesting. An example of this appears in the little girl's dress. The short waist is extended at each side into square tabs, the neck is square and finished with stitches in mercerized cotton floss, and the short sleeves repeat the tabs by using them as a finish to the turned-back cuff.
The romper suit in one piece for a little boy is brightened and well finished with binding of white. It has a trim belt and is made of the same material that we used for dresses. These materials are shown in a variety of good colors, with yellow, pink, tan, green, light brown and blue, all in several shades, and in demand. These youngsters both wear short sox; the boy a pair of white canvas slippers, and the girl slippers of kid.
