LEONARD WOOD A MAN FOR ALL THE PEOPLE
VOL. XXVI.
(Special to Colorado Statesman.)
WE ARE living today in a restless age. There exists a dissatisfaction and unrest among the people of the world, a general outcome of the great war. The reconstruction period is presenting many problems that must be solved by the various nations of the world. In the United States we are confronted by many perplexing problems. It is going to take the best brain and sinew to cope with the situation and adjust matters satisfactorily. Whatever adjustments are made must be progressive.
In other words, the nation must have for the coming presidential period a man who is progressive in action as well as in word to guide its destinies, and a man who will guide the national policies in the spirit of this new era and not according to prewar standards. He must be a man of a broad and varied experience in order to handle the various classes and nationalities that contribute to the citizenship of our great nation. This man must be one who will deal fairly and squarely with everyone, who has but one standard of right and wrong for all. The country must have a man who is going to deal justly with its citizens whether of capitalist or labor class, rich or poor, and regardless of their nationality, race or creed. He must be a man who believes in liberty and justice for all, who believes in the "all-men-up-and-no-man-down" policy, and finally, a man who will not parley in the face of big issues.
Such a man is Gen. Leonard Wood, who was named in South Dakota as a presidential candidate for nomination when the national Republican convention meets in Chicago this June. While General Wood was endorsed at the Republican convention in South Dakota, it was not a local affair, and that he is not a favorite son or a selection made for local reasons is clearly seen in the practical character that the movement on the behalf of his nomination has assumed throughout the country.
Leonard Wood is a New England product. He was born in New Hampshire October 9, 1860, and while yet an infant his family moved to Massachusetts, where he was educated. He graduated from the Harvard medical school in 1884 and began his practice in Boston. Tiring of the life of ordinary practitioner, he went into the army and was soon appointed assistant surgeon and first lieutenant. He made such wonderful strides that in five years he became a captain and full surgeon. His first record was made as an Indian fighter under Capt. Henry W. Lawton, later brigadier general. Reporting to General Miles, Lawton said of Wood: "He sought the most difficult work and by his determination and courage rendered a successful issue of the campaign possible."
In 1895 Wood was ordered to Washington as assistant attending surgeon, which gave him an opportunity to become acquainted with President McKinley and also with Theodore Roosevelt, who was assistant secretary of the navy at the time. Roosevelt and Wood became congenial companions and fast friends, for both had many
tastes and characteristics in common. These two were the organizers of the "Rough Riders," which was officially designated as the First Volunteer Cavalry of the Spanish-American war. Roosevelt insisted that Leonard Wood should be the colonel of this cavalry regiment. Wood was, in a short time, appointed brigadier general, and Roosevelt was advanced from second place to the colonelcy of his "Rough Riders."
Wood succeeded General Wheeler as commander of the cavalry brigade in the Santiago campaign and was made military governor of the city and district after the surrender of the Spaniards. This afforded Wood an opportunity to show his wonderful administrative ability.
Colonel Roosevelt wrote in the Outlook of January 7, 1899: "I was frequently in Santiago after the surrender, and I never saw Wood when he was not engaged in some one of his multitudinous duties. He was personally superintending the cleaning of the streets; he was personally hearing the most important of the countless complaints made by the Cubans against the Spaniards, Spaniards against the Cubans, and by both against Americans; he was personally engaged in working out a better system sewerage, or in striving to secure the return of the landtillers to the soil. I do not mean that he ever allowed himself to be swamped by mere detail; he is much too good an executive officer not to delegate to others whatever can safely be delegated; but the extraordinary energy of the man himself is such that he can oversee and direct much more than is possible with the ordinary man." (This comes from a man who was a genius in executive ability himself.)
Following his remarkable success in Santiago he was appointed governor general of Cuba. He successfully organized the governing forces and administered in such a way that it was not long before the island was turned over to the Cubans for self-government.
Under the Roosevelt administration General Wood was sent to the Philippines as military commander and civil governor. In dealing with the Moros and Mahometans, and in instituting a local government preparatory for self-government, he again showed his executive ability. In the World war, though denied the privilege of serving in France, he organized and trained two divisions for service.
Leonard Wood's qualifications for the high office of President of this nation may be summarized as follows:
1. He was a disciple and friend of our greatest statesman since Lincoln's time.
2. He administered to the colonies according to their needs. We need a man who will govern us according to our present needs, and he is such a man.
3. He has had experience at home and abroad in handling men who had to be governed. He knows how to meet men in all walks of life. In other words, he knows how to govern fruitfully.
4. His vast experience has taught him how to deal justly with men in every walk of life.

5. Being a disciple of the immortal Roosevelt, he believes in the principle, "All men up and no man down."
6. His successful and fearless campaigns in the colonies proves he is not a man to parley with an issue. Had he shown the least weakness in his government of the colonies much would have been lost to the country and he would not have been able to receive the hearty support he is receiving throughout the nation.
7. Because of his fearlessness for right he was obscured for a time. There is too much real man in him to be a cat's paw.
He is a man of firm and decisive policies and not easily swayed by the winds. Such a man the nation needs. Thus Leonard Wood fulfills the need of the people and of the nation, and becomes a man for the nation and a man for all the people.
NATIONAL HEALTH WEEK
Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Feb. 28. Because the observance of the National Health Week was established by the late Dr. Brooker T. Washington, bringing about a remarkable change in health conditions among colored people throughout the country and meant a greater economic saving to millions of them and the country, the last session of the annual Tuskegee Negro conference, appreciating the vital importance of this movement, was again inspired to action.
Since Dr. Washington so splendidly achieved along this line for the best interest of humanity, a resolution was enthusiastically adopted at the 1919 meeting of the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, that in connection with the observance of the 1919 National Health Week, the week of the anniversary of his birth, be annually observed as Health Week.
Inspired with the spirit of the founder of the conference and seeing that this phase of endeavor would be a fitting recognition of his appreciation of the things for the conservation of the Negro's health and wealth, the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference, held January 21 and 22, 1920, passed a resolution, which said in part:
"Therefore, Be it resolved, that the annual Tuskegee Negro Conference accept this suggestion and urge upon the colored people throughout the South to annually make this observance, and, be it further
"Resolved, That the week of April 4th to 10th be observed as the National Health Week."
The following agencies and organizations, as in previous years, are being invited to observe the National Health Week and exert their influence in helping others to do so. Daily and weekly newspapers, health journals, National Medical Association, National Association of Graduate Nurses, National Association of Colored Women's Club, National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, National Negro Press Association, the bishops and other officers of the religious denominations, state medical associations, annual church conferences and associations, secret society organizations, colored insurance companies, farmers' conferences, farmers' improvement societies, churches, schools and other local organizations, including state, county and city health officers.
CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS
(By Clarence J. Toliver.)
ON DECEMBER 5, 1905, a score of women met at the home of Mrs. Harriet B. Landor. They were cultured women, Christians, devoted and loving wives and mothers. After the ladies were comfortably seated, Mrs. Clara G. Ashford, since deceased, arose and made the following address:
Ladies: "We have met here at this time to see what can be done to raise the moral standing of our people in Cheyenne. There is much work to do and this work must be done by Christian women. Mrs. Landor and I have prayed to God to direct us in our endeavor to assist those who are in need both physically and morally. Conditions are such that unless we women band together, the cause of Christ and man will not be safeguarded. We must devote our lives to God; redress human wrongs, speak no slander, no, nor listen to it, and reach for higher ideals and lift as we climb."
This meeting resulted in the organization of the Woman Searchlight Club of Cheyenne, Wyo., the first and only colored woman's club in this state at that time. This little band of women have been united in deeds of charity, aiding sick and afflicted, assisting fallen girls, and have taken up the study of music, art and literature. The first officers of the Woman Searchlight Club were: Mrs. Clara G. Ashford, president. Mrs. Harriet Brown Landor, vice president. Mrs. Ivy Gray, secretary.
Mrs. Ky Gray, secretary.
The Searchlight Club is under the jurisdiction of the Federated Colored Womens' Clubs of Colorado.

Mrs. Ollie H. Redd, president.
Mrs. Carrie W. Wright, vice president.
Mrs. Allie F. Smith, secretary.
Mrs. Cora I. Brown, treasurer.
Mrs. DeMarge Toliver, corresponding secretary.

ERECT MEMORIAL TO COLORED
SOLDIERS OF THE GREAT WAR
Milledgeville, Ga., Feb. 23.—Harrisburg, a small village in Baldwin county, made up entirely of colored people, is the first community of its kind on record in this state to erect a memorial to colored soldiers of the World war.

BAR CHINESE CHILDREN
FROM WHITE SCHOOLS
Jackson, Miss., Feb. 27.—According to a ruling made public by Attorney General Frank Robertson, Chinese children in Mississippi will not be permitted to attend schools with white children. He interpreted the constitutional reference to "colored race" to include all excepting the Caucasian race, and that if Chinese children attend school in Mississippi, they must go to school with members of the "Negro race."
KENTUCKY G. O. P. NAME CONVENTION DELEGATES.
Louisville, Ky., March 3.—The Kentucky Republican state convention today indorsed A. T. Hert, Gov. E. P. Morrow, Mrs. John Glover South, Frankfort, and Dr. S. H.

RACE TO HAVE DELEGATE AT CONVENTION.
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 21.—The movement set on foot a little more than two months ago by the Citizens' Liberty League to get more political recognition for the Negro at the hands of the Republican party in this city and state, was rewarded by the fulfillment of one of its important principles—a delegate to the national convention. This honor fell upon Rev. S. A. Mooseley, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church of this city. This is the first time a Negro has ever been elected delegate from this, the Twelfth Congressional District of this state. The people are congratulating the Citizen's Liberty League for the stand it has taken for the advancement of the race, and, according to a statement by one of the officers, many other good things that the Negroes have never enjoyed before are coming. Stick together. Price McGinnis was the Negro elected alternate.
NO.21
GENERAL WOOD CHAMPIONS
CAUSE OF COLORED
AMERICANS.
THE immortal Lincoln was the first great American to deal justly with the black man. He set us free, but the assassin's bullet pierced his brain before he could give to us all the instrumentalities for our advancement as full fledged American citizens.
In our generation the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt opened wide the door of equality to his colored brother when he stood for a square deal to all men regardless of race or color. Booker T. Washington dined with him even though the whole country put up a howl. But now he has been taken from our midst.
God in His wise providence, however, has not left us without a champion. He has raised up General Leonard Wood, the greatest living American, to lead His people. You know we need never be disheartened for we are God's children.
Leonard Wood publicly addressed us at the Lincoln League, saying: "Today the important thing is Law and Order. There is no group that stands for Law and Order more than you colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation; we should have a free and untrammeled United States."
Not since the days of Lincoln have such words been uttered by a man seeking presidential honors. He tells us where he stands and any candidate for President who does not publicly state his position on the race question cannot expect the colored vote.
General Wood will be the next great Republican leader if two million of colored voters have anything to say about it. "A second Teddy, folks! A second Teddy!"
Any man or woman twenty-one years old can organize a local Wood club by writing first to the National Colored People's Wood-for-President Club, Indianapolis, Ind., for literature, buttons and other free instructions. This is an opportunity for colored men and women to prove to General Wood that they want a man for President who will give every American, black or white, a Square Deal.
INDORSEMENT OF LOWDEN
RAISES PROTEST
St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 21.—At the convention of the Twelfth Congressional District of Missouri last Tuesday night, a clash between the Negro delegates and Congressman L. C. Dyer was settled only after he (Mr. Dyer) had withdrawn a resolution which he had introduced to instruct the delegates.
Mr. Dyer, after having lauded Governor Lowden as a great man and praising him for what he had done for the people of Illinois, and commending him for his stand for justice and fair play toward all, made a motion to instruct the delegates for Mr. Lowden. This action brought down a storm of protest from the Negro delegates present.
J. E. Mitchell, editor St. Louis Argus, arose and told the convention how Governor Lowden had acted during the East St. Louis massacre, and declared that the Negroes would oppose any move to indorse Mr. Lowden.
Mr. Dyer only made matters worse by trying to defend the Illinoisan, which was followed by some sharp questions from Mr. Mitchell, citing that Governor Lowden had failed to act when first appealed to, "and later," said Mitchell, "he must have been gone a fishing, for he could not be found."
Mr. Mitchell was backed by W. G. Matthews and W. H. King.

Great Britain, which within a year or so hopes to get off the red ink side of the national ledger, faces an outlook until April 1 of a daily deficit of $892,000. From England's standpoint that is quite an improvement over 1919, when the national expenditure was $6,252,000 daily more than income. These figures presume the pound to be worth $4.00.

Word of the appointment of Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson of Denver, former state senator, as one of the group, has been received by the Colorado Woman Suffrage Association at Denver.
L. B. Crawford, predatory animal inspector of Colorado, has completed arrangements here for a war on Archulea county animals that have heretofore been preying on livestock. The death knell has been sounded for the coyote, wolf, mountain lion, lynx and bobcat. The first means for eradication will be traps and poison. Den hunting will be extensively carried on later.
Colorado Springs has obtained another convention for next August. The Association of Chief Special Agents of the United States Railroad Administration, which recently has been in session at Omaha, has voted to meet there next summer, according to Charles S. Railsback, special agent for the Santa Fé, who attended the conference.
Forest service officers in Colorado are to be appointed deputy state health officers under a plan given approval at a meeting of the State Board of Health in Denver. The forest officials will be empowered to enforce the state laws on health and sanitation and will have the authority to make arrests when necessary. A. W. Frederich has been arrested at Hayden on a charge of selling a brand of stomach bitters which has been condemned, it is said, by the state. The case may reach the higher courts.

Goats—Reconstruction Animals Ready for Great Task.
Belgium Sketches
In Government Service
By Katharine Eggleston Roberts
(Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union)
The striped cat sat on a broken stone in an old Flanders battlefield. She fluffed her tail and glared across her whiskers at Bibi, the pup. "Everybody's always talking about a 'dog's life,' as though it were the hardest in the world. Huh! I wonder how they'd like to be a government cat out here in this devastated country. The rest of you animals don't have anything to do except sit around."
The gloomy dog didn't attempt to answer. His drooping eyes stared down the street of newly built huts. "Oh, stop it, Mina; you're always fussing." Siska, the goat, wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Why do you suppose the government gives all of us animals to these people who've come back to rebuild Dixmude and other places if we aren't good for something?"
"It's all very well for you to talk, Siska. There's no effort in merely giving milk; and as for Bibi, all he does is bark if he hears a stranger coming at night."
Bibi got up and turned around a few times and dropped down on another spot. He was tired of being responsible for everyone's safety, but he didn't feel like arguing about it.
"When I was drafted," continued Mina after a pause, "my mother said: 'Mina, it's a fine thing to serve your country, but I hate to see you going to live in those awful places.' Even then she thought I'd get a little milk once in a white. But no! No!" Mina

grew oratorical. "Siska gives all her milk to the people. There's none for a poor, hard-working cat. Hard-working—that's it! I'm overworked. Do they expect me to catch all the rats and mice in Belgium? These shell holes are full of them. Talk about their underground tunnels. I don't know which has made the most of them, the rats or the Germans. And the homes they've made in those dead trees!—I mean the rats. I tell you I'm just worn out, working night and day."
"Well, at least you can eat them. You don't have to live on what little food people can give you, as we do," Bibi finally spoke. "You're not always hungry."
"Eat them!" Mina snarled. "They are all I get to eat. I'm sick and tired of mice—and such poor quality, too. Ugh! You've no idea."
"Yes, yes, I know. It's the same with what little grass I find. It's rank and weedy. The best kind grows on the edge of the shell pits, but even a

goat has trouble to keep from slipping over the brink into the water. The ground is so loose around here. I wish they would raise some vegetables, but with all this iron cluttering the earth. I guess it's impossible. How I would love a good cabbage! As for work—you talk about working! Don't you know I'm supposed to help clean up the place, as well as give milk? Back home I used to be awfully fond of shirts and shoes, but I simply can't make myself swallow those I find out here.
"Now don't go getting morbid. You always get morbid. As if things aren't bad enough without talking about them all the time. Have you seen the new

pigs that came yesterday?" Bibl began a new conversation.
"No; how many?"
"Five."
"I wish they'd send more goats," moaned Siska miserably. "I'm lonely. There's no society at all. It's hard on a well-born goat."
"Well, I like that!" Mina's stripes stood out. "I'll tell you, I'm not used to-associating with goats. I hope the next obus you nibbie is loaded. Certainly—"
"Now, Mina, you know I didn't mean that. I'm really fond of you and Bibl; but a goat's different, that's all. There are certain things peculiar to a goat—"
"Thank heaven, yes," interrupted Mina.
"Oh, let Siska finish what she's saying."
"Well, as I was saying, I have ideas and desires with which you have no sympathy, because those things hold no interest for you. Now another goat would understand my attitude toward those red flags that mark the ammunition plies. There's an irresistible fascination in them—"
"I heard the captain of the camp over there say that the next time you ate one, and left the explosives urmarked, he was going to feed you a grenade," Bibi warned.
"That's just it—no one understands a goat. I'm homesick." Siska bowed her head.
"Poor old Siska; so am I," Bibi confessed, the tears running down his long brown nose.
"Oh, well, I guess that's why I'm grouchy. I simply can't forget my home, and be content." Mina blinked.
"I heard Jan Struyf say that's why he came back here. It's where he used to live. His home was down there where the old tank stands." "Uh-huh, I know. He's clearing up the place to build again. Imagine being homesick for this scrambled land!" Siska wagged her beard from side to side. "Still they're all alike," Bibi went on. "They work from dawn till night, and we reconstruction animals were sent here to help. I suppose we

shouldn't fuss. Wasn't it some old Greek who said, "The world is only my idea.' If that's the case—"
"He's getting philosophical; I'm going to leave." Mina stretched her long, slim body.
"Oh, look!" The joy of living returned to Siska's eyes. She flirted her short tail and ran. "It's a nice new red flag!"
"Do you know," observed Mina to the pup, "sometimes I think that Siska must be Russian."
GRAVE HUNTERS STILL BUSY
Gangs of Searchers Wander About in Quest of Overlooked Bodies of Fallen Heroes.
Ypres is today as she was in 1918. To the east, south and north stretches an ugly, shell-chopped lifeless terrain, where gangs of "body snatchers" (the Tommys' name for grave hunters) are still wandering. Now and then, in some out-of-the-way, grass-stuffed crater they still find a weather-soaked uniform, gray or khaki, with a human skeleton inside it. They gather the bones together in a sack and carry them back to headquarters.
Or, they find a forgotten grave, probably marked by a little rain-blackened wooden cross. The battle area is dotted with these crosses—the only epitaph, on some being a rusty trench helmet. The "body snatchers'" job is to dig up the bodies, put them in sacks, too, and bring them away for reburial.
Wrecked tanks, wagons, trucks, ammunition dumps, pill boxes are scattered up to the horizon. Four miles down the Menin road from Ypres many British tanks lie in one field, called the "tank cemetery."
Shortage of American Leather.
There is much complaint on the part of Belgian shoe manufacturers because of the recent heavy purchases from abroad. At the same time local manufacturers are greatly handicapped because of a shortage of all materials, particularly of American leather. With a view of ameliorating the situation the Syndicate of Shoe Manufacturers of Belgium has taken up with the government the question of producing a national standard shoe at a standard price. It is thought that in this way the home manufacturer may be able to produce an article to sell at not more than 50 francs, thus fulfilling an urgent public demand and at the same time stimulating and protecting the national industry.

Latin America Wants the Monroe Doctrine Defined
Latin America Wants the Monroe Doctrine Defined
WASHINGTON.—Latin American countries which participated in the peace conference and also those invited to join the League of Nations are watching the request of Salvador that the United States define the Monroe doctrine
"Nothing in this covenant shall be deemed to affect the validity of international engagements, such as treaties of arbitration or regional understandings like the Monroe doctrine, for securing the maintenance of peace."
"My government recognizes that the Monroe doctrine consolidates the independence of the continental states of Latin America and saved them from the great danger of a European intervention. It realizes that it is a powerful factor in the existence of the democratic form of government in this continent and that it raised a barrier to European colonization.
"Since however, the covenant of the League of Nations does not deter mine the purposes nor fix a definite criterion of international relationship in America, and since, on the other hand, the doctrine will be forthwith transformed—in view of the full sanction of the nations of the world—into a principle of universal public law, juris et de jure. I request that your excellency will be good enough to give the authentic interpretation of the Monroe doctrine, as it is understood in the present historical moment."
"Stop Throwing Forests Into the Waste Baskets!"
"STOP throwing the forests of the country into your waste basket." is the message sent to the business houses of the country by the American Forestry association, which is enlisting the aid of the schools, business houses, and women's organizations in a paper conservation campaign.
"A look at those figures will cause some deep thinking on the part of publishers," said Mr. Pack. "We must stop throwing our forests into the waste basket. Business houses can bring about a great saving if they will write the carbon of the letter they are answering on the back of the letter received. This will save paper and cut filing expenses, too."
The situation, Mr. Pack declared, will not improve until there is greater production of raw material. One of the pressing problems before the American Paper and Pulp association, which met recently in New York city, was the future raw material supply. It recommended a nation-wide forest survey, better fire protection, and increased planting of trees.
One of the first organizations to join the American Forestry association in its campaign for paper conservation is the National Woman's Association of Commerce of Chicago. Miss Florence King, the president, has issued a call to all members connected with business houses to start the agitation at once.
"Boiling" Senators Give Soldier a "Square Deal"
"Boiling" Senators Give Soldier a "Square Deal"
SENATORS got excited the other day over the matter of soldiers and the loss of their private property. In consequence the senate passed a bill to amend the act now in force and give the soldier a better chance to recover
series of decisions by the officials of the treasury department have placed such restrictions on the law as to preclude favorable consideration of a majority of the claims which have been filed. These decisions are briefly summarized as follows:
The auditor has disallowed all claims for property lost by fire unless claimants can certify that the loss occurred while the claimant was engaged in saving government property.
The comptroller has ruled that "money" is not an article of property.
The comptroller has recently decided that property lost in France cannot be considered as having been lost "in the field during campaign," unless the claimant was actually in the battle line. This decision will affect practically all losses of personal baggage in the field other than that in course of transportation.
Senator Wadsworth said the committee on military affairs "boiled with indignation," and its purpose was to give the soldier a "square deal."

She may have been Mrs. E. H. Harriman. In the great group of excessively rich over the United States there were 227 classed as "single women."
From these latest available figures it is shown that individuals through the income tax returns contributed in 1918 on their 1917 incomes a great total of $361,486,177, while corporations in the same period yielded Uncle Sam's strong boxes just $2,142,445,769.

SPRING.
VEN though we are having an occasional snow at present, yet the
E time is fast approaching when we will revel in the idea that Spring
has come again, In the enjoyment of an average temperature above
50 degrees, briMant sunshine and pureness of atmosphere, it necessarily
follows that an awakening of thought, spirit and action should be pos-
sessed by us, and acting in concert with the beautiful strains that proceed
from the birds as they floy from branch to branch heralding the incoming
from the birds as they fly from branch to branch heralding the incoming
progress and betterment of the present state of business.
‘As we go along the business section of the city we notice stores being
renovated, new stock in the various lines being installed, wagon after
wagon awaiting its turn to be unloaded of its valuable freight, and the
people in their usual manner peering in at the windows to eatch the first
glimpse of spring garments,
The blessings of spring are too innumerable to mention herein, but
we can with all our hearts give praise and thanks to Him who provides
the seasons for the comfort and enjoyment of all creation, and with this
fact alone we will rejoice in the season that brings us good cheer—Spring!
PERSONAL HABITS AND MORALS.
HAT personal habits and morals are closely related no one will deny,
Ie put that they are one and the same thing no one will affirm.
Personal habits may erystalize into character, but character is an
individual and not a public property. ‘To be true a number of persons of
similar character in a community may give the community the appearance
of a certain type or class and thus cause the reputation or standing of
the entire locality to be affected. Indeed this seems to be the ease in
Denver at the present time, If persons of uncertain character predom-
inate, then the reputation of the whole community takes on a certain
flexibility, but after all a sharp distinction ought to be made between the
habits of a people which are purely personal, and the habits which inter-
fere with the rights of another. While every one would be glad to see
the community lifted up in their personal tone, yet no one feels like in-
voking the Legislature to pass upon our private morals. ‘The wiseacres
of Battle Creek may be all right in what they allege against coffee drink-
ing, but when people call coffee drinkers immoral and sinners, they at-
tack the morals of many who up to date have been considered among our
noblest and best men and women.
To be a crank is not quite the same thing as being immoral, although
some cranks labor under this delusion. What we need to discern {s that
right distinctions are necessary to differentiate those customs that offend
good society and those that simply affect ourselves and satisfy our own
tastes. ;
RAISING THE STANDARD.
fl te general standard of the American Negro is lower than it should be,
because it is lower than it need be, It is lower than it need be be-
cause the Negro entertains a misconception of the fundamental
sources of success and happiness, The Negro is too impatient of solid racial
effort, and endeavors to leap aver the hard, tedious, formative period of
permanent racial development and to attain the higher and easier stations
of life at a single bound. Racial advancement, of course, rests upon the
effort of the individual, but individual effort is better shaped to the gen-
eral needs of the people than to the selfish aims and desires of the indi-
vidual alone, By that we mean that an individual Negro may so shape his
course as to win personal success without bringing much eredit to his race,
and that is just what many Negroes are doing. The ever-present example
of the white man, which should be highly beneficial, is often injurious,
because we are inclined to skip over that part of it which represents
hardship and patient sacrifice, to attain the higher forms of happiness
which he has slowly earned. We may sometimes shrewdly take advantage
of the white man’s conditions and rise to the apparent level of his social
or commereial prosperity, but when we do so, we leave our race behind.
When we jump. from the ox cart to the automobile we leave the race
in the ox cart. ‘This is thought to be within the range of legitimate per-
sonal privilege, but it usually calls for a big sacrifice of what might be,
and ought to be turned into a racial asset. The incidentally successful
Negro seldom turns his success to the benefit of his race, but selfishly
endeavors to get away from his own. A glance over the lists of our rich
individuals will reveal the truth of this assertion in a majority of cases,
especially in the North, and too often in the South.
‘The trouble lies in the fact that we do not shape our energies so as to
gain success and wealth out of.our own conditions, but we believe those
conditions too slow and barren, rely upon somé relation or deal in which
the white man is concerned. Hence, when we succeed, we think we owe
cur race.nothing, and usually live accordingly. The short-sighted aversion
of our educated and intelligent men and women to devoting themselves to
pure and absolute raclal enterprise in their fundamental and necessary
forms of development, is at the bottom of all this. Great individual suc-
cesses and a corresponding and inseparable degree of racial improvements
are thereby lost.
Everybody Must Learn English to Make
Americans a Homogeneous People.
By HOKE SMITH, U. S. Senator From Georgia. ‘
T am in favor of this bill to promote Americaniza-
tion by providing for co-operation with the several
states in the education of non-English-speaking per-
son’ and the assimilation of foreign-born residents.
In this country, where English is the language,
where American papers are all published in English,
how can a resident become a real part of the com-
munity, know whab is going on in the community,
understand the aspirations of the community, and free
himself from deception and misleading influences un-
less he can speak English? I would require, every-

It is intensely a matter of interest to all the states that we should have

our language can not be assimilated as a part of our homogeneous popula-

Family Court to Guard Children of the Rich
Is Now an Imperative Need.
By W. L. BODINE, fenicags Supt. Compulsory Education.
The tables are turned. Intemperance formerly disrupted the poor
man’s home and his children suffered. If the intemperate scenes that
were enacted in the poor man’s home before prohibition created delin-
quents in the tenements, will it not do likewise in the mansions of the
rich. The law has placed the poor man on the water wagon, but the rich
man’s cellars are filled with the bottled ghosts of John Barleycorn. The
fast pace of parents means the slow child at school. It is imperative that
a “family court” be established which will reach beyond the jurisdiction
of the so-called slums “into” houses where the children of the rich need
mbre attention than the neglected poor. :
A family court would awaken parents to their duty to raise good citi-
zens instead of bad ones. We need more old-fashioned spankings.
It has been truthfully said that one good mother is worth a dozen
institutions. If this is supplemented with a good father, it means a con-
structive factor at home—and the family court backed by an expansion of
the juvenile court law to awaken parents to their plain duty, would mean
more good fathers, more good mothers, the betterment of the rising gen-
eration and the better nation with the greater nation in the future.
Conerete Hut in Place of Igloo Will
Hasten Extinction of Eskimos.
By VILHJALMUR STEFANSSON, Arctic Explorer.
‘The movement to modernize the Eskimo by providing him with con-
crete huts in place of his picturesque snow “igloos,” as suggested by an
official of the United States bureau of fisheries, would be the death of the
denizen of the icy north. Not only is the Eskimo devoted to his age-long
habitation as the South Sea islanders are to their traditional garb of flower
garlands and fresh smiles, but he is far healthier, warmer and more com-
fortable in his domed mansion of snow than he could be in any modern
house of concrete.
‘Their igloo serves as a home for two or three weeks. ‘Then they build
a new one, Because it is new it is clean and sanitary. It is as warm and
comfortable as your library
‘The concrete hut, like the wooden hut, must be uncomfortable and
unsanitary. Whenever the natives have changed from the snow to the
wooden home there has followed pneumonia and typhoid and a tremendous
increase in the death rate.
‘The Eskimos are a migratory race. Contact with civilization has af-
fected them and they are dying off. They must soon be extinct, and the
concrete hut hastens that extinction.
New Theory of Relativity May Upset All
Ideas of Physical Science.
* By R. D. CARMICHAEL, Scientist and Author.
It is reported that astronomers and physicists of England are just
now greatly interested in what seems to many to be a demonstration of
the’ new principle of relativity, which has been a subject of hot debate
among scientists for the last few years.
‘An examination of photographic plates taken during the solar eclipse
of last May shows a deflection of the rays of light from the stars in their
passage past the sun of 1.7 seconds of arc, just the amount predicted by
Finstein’s theory of relativity.
‘The many considerations which arise in this new theory suggest the
desirability or even the necessity of a fresh analysis of the foundations of
physical science. The present state of affairs will probably give rise to a
considerable body of controversial literature in scientific circles. If the
outcome of this controversy is the acceptance in the main of the theory of
relativity, it will lead to a great modification of our views of the nature
which surrounds us. We will be forced to analyze anew the philosophical
foundations of science, and the grounds of our confidence in its conclusions
will be modified by a new penetrating analysis.
It is not inconceivable that we are at the beginning of a period in
which the world of scientific thought will be turned upside down by such
new theories as that of relativity, and we shall have to seek anew the means
to anchor our intellectual life. Such experience, though unpleasant,
always leads to progress.
ANNOUNCEMENT
SAMUEL D. NICHOLSON
OF LEADVILLE
TO THE MEN AND WOMEN
OF COLORADO
T have received and read with great interest the many requests from
the citizens of the various counties of the State, urging me to beeome a
candidate of the Republican Party for the office of United States Senator.
It & unnecessary for me to say the selection of any citizen for that
high office should be greatly appreciated, and it is so treated by me; and
affirming my allegiance to the Republican Party and my firm belief Mm its
principles, hereby submit myself as a candidate for nomination to the
office of Senator of the United States.
Tn connection with this announcement, it is proper to state the general
principles for which I stand, and by which I will be controlled, if elected.
T believe that the happiness and welfare of the people depend upon
upholding, in all its integrity, the Constitution of the United States, and in
maintaining a benevolent, yet firm, government of law and order, remem-
bering always that equality of rights is the very essence of Republicanism.
‘We should deal fairly and justly with all foreign nations, seeking
their good will and cultivating their friendship; and should always stand
ready to extend our aid, moral and financial, to unfortunate peoples. But
what we may do in that direction we should do of our own freo will, for
the sake of humanity and not under compulsion of any law or force su-
perior to the will of the American people. 1 am opposed to any alliance
with any foreign nation or nations which will call for the surrender or
abdication of any of the sovereignty or independence of the United States.
The Republican Party, through its senators in the National Congress, has
declared the positign of the Party on the League of Nations, and with that
declaration I am in hearty accord.
} ‘The solution of the social and economic questions which are pressing
“upon us do not require the surrender of any of our principles of govern-
‘nent or any substantial alteration in our political system, but those ques-
tions should be approached in the Rooseveltian spirit of “True American-
Ism" and the square deal.
Favoring the conservation of our natural resources as against waste
and exploitation, I am opposed to any policy which will bar the home-
seeker or the miner from the public domain, or lay unreasonable restric-
tions or regulations in his way; and am opposed to any policy which will
| prevent the development of any resource for which there is a present
reasonable need.
I believe that our immigration laws should be so modified as to pre-
‘vent effectively the admission of undesirable aliens; and that aliens seek-
‘ing to become citizens should be required to learn the English language,
ard to be instructed, at the public expense, in the fundamental principles
‘of our government and the duties of citizenship.
: Further legislation, both National and State, must be enacted in behalf
of the veterans of the Civil, Spanish and the World wars, those brave and
patriotic American citizens who fought for our Country as well as their
‘dependents, to all of whom our Nation owes a debt which can never be
paid. Their protection and welfare must be given first consideration, and
‘special preference must be given them in all Government employment.
; ‘The farmer, stockgrower and miner are the producers upon whose
labors rests our whole industrial fabric, and ff elected, T shall give special
attention and consideration to their needs, believing, as I do, that they
have not received the consideration to which they are entitled, in either
‘national or state legislation.
Public office is a public trust; and public funds are trust funds, and
{n the disposition thereof there must be exercised the greatest care and
“the strictest economy, and I unqualifiedly favor a National Budget System.
“Equal rights to all and special privileges to none,” instead of being
a hackneyed phrase, should become a living, vital principle, and legislators
‘should ever bear in mind that without social justice there can be no equal-
ity; and without equality, there can be no true liberty. And by ‘justice’
{ do not mean law justice, but that natural justice which springs from the
‘protherhood of man and which clearly defines for all Americans what is
right and fair and just as between man and man.
j While the rights of property must be deemed sacred under our Con-
stitution and laws, the rights of man are still more sacred, and while
capital should have full, adequate and complete protection under the law.
the chief object of government and the chief aim of all legislation should
‘be to promote the welfare and happiness of the people. And that, as I
understand it, was the beginning and end of the Republicanism of Lincoln
and Roosevelt. +
In 1894 I had my first opportunity to, and did, vote for “Woman's
“Suffrage,” and have never had reason to doubt the wisdom of my action
and the right and justice of the cause.
Both National and State legislation must be enacted to suppress and
prevent profiteering, and I pledge my efforts to that end.
Residing in this State since boyhood, I am indebted to Colorado and
her people for whatever success 1 may have enjoyed, and appreciating that
fact, and believing I know the needs of both, my life work will be devoted
to their interests.
Haying no college degree, the only diploma which I possess is that of
| moderate success, awarded me by the University of Experience after many
years of honest toil and honorable business enterprise which had its begin-
ning with a miner’s pick.
My life among you for forty years has been an open book, and upon
‘it and upon the principles here stated, I stand as a candidate, with the
assurance that the party nominee, whoever he may be, will recelve my cor-
‘dial and hearty support on election day.
Respectfully yours,
SAMUEL D. NICHOLSON.
1 Leadville, February 18, 1920.
ITH such a plain, out-spoken manifesto as the above, we cannot
W help publishing our admission of that which warrants and in-
sures the support of that portion of the public whose require-
ments for a fearless and upright representative to champion their
cause and uphold the free institutions of a country—a government
will be found in Samuel D. Nicholson. While the announcement as
a whole is very impressive, yet there are two points that touch the
very core of our standing as a nation and cur participation in the
present order of the world’s civilization: ‘‘Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, instead of being a hackneyed phrase, should
become a living vital principle; and the other with reference to our
treatment to foreigners and our moral and financial support to un-
fortunate people in which Mr. Nicholson says: ‘We should deal
fairly and justly with all foreign nations, seek their good will and
cultivate their friendship, and of our own free will should always
stand ready to extend our aid, moral and finaneial, to unfortunate
peoples.’? To one’s mind these two points filled with so much of
the response to the demand of the thinking American of today should
place this candidate at high water mark in the hearts of his sup-
porters, and if the knock at the door of reason and conscientious
thought be heard and favorably responded to, the prospective eandi-
date for United States Senator can begin to realize a large measure
of success as well as paving the way to a majority support of the
people of Colorado. At this time in our state’s life, our country’s
trying moments, the national test that confronts us, strong men are
needed, who not only stand for law and order, but whole-hearted sup-
port of the Abraham Lincoln institution—the Unity of the People—
an undivided nation, making for an impregnable foree and the old
‘system of sending a man to represent a constituency because of some
‘pet idea, or some great propaganda which in the main is impracti-
‘cal and unworkable, must give way to the modern methods of prov-
‘ing first eo aspirant’s ability to grasp the momentous ques-
‘tions of the day, and secondly, his national spirit of JUSTICE and
RIGHT to/be meted out to all the people, irrespective of class or race.
As we said one cannot but be impressed with this announcement if he
‘reads and carefully digests it, and laying hold of the early oppor-
‘tunity to get their minds riveted on the kind of individual for leader-
‘ship in representing our affairs in the nation’s law-making body, Mr.
‘Samuel D. Nicholson feels justified in coming forward and enlisting
the full share of support from the people of Colorado necessary to
insure his success.

GEORGIANS INCREASE WEALTH SEVEN AND A HALF MILLIONS.
Tax Returns for 1919 Show Total of $54,858,301, as Against $47,423,449 for the Previous Year.
Atlanta, Ga.—Colored citizens of Georgia paid taxes during 1919 on property worth $54,858,301, or $7,434,852 more than during 1918, an increase of 15 per cent. These figures are obtained from a tabulation of returns from all the counties, issued by Tax Clerk William B. Harrison of the comptroller general's office. For 1918 they paid taxes on $47,423,449.
A comparison of the various classes of property returned with the returns of the preceding year is as follows:
Farming lands, $16,095,593; 1918,
$13,979,380. City and town property,
$15,208,043; 1918, $13,987,665. Automobiles, $1,860,261; 1918, $946,031. Money and solvent debts, $563,079; 1918, $701,538. Merchandise, $392,032; 1918, $267,969.

It will be noted that while all the particular items enumerated above show an increase with the exception of "money and solvent debts," the value of automobiles owned by the Negroes shows a much larger percentage of increase than any other, having practically doubled within the year.

The debate last Sunday afternoon on the Federal Prohibition Amendment was exciting to say the least. Those attending declared that it brought to their minds scenes and experiences of their college days. The affirmative was supported by Mr. Sie Green, a well-known Denver humorist, and Miss Sarah G.

A company of ladies has consented to render their services. Admission will be limited to members only on account of the large membership and the limited capacity of the hall. The program tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be of a most novel and interesting nature, consisting of a piano-acordoneon recital by Professor Nicholas A. Palizzi, one of the greatest piano-acordoneonists in the world. This gifted Italian will be a novel personage for our program. The program will be held as usual at Fern hall, beginning at 4 o'clock. The entire public is invited.

Photo of German Train That Runs on Air
MACHINE & TRAINING
An invention inspired by the reported shortage of coal in Germany is that of Otto Steinitz, a Berlin engineer, who has designed a railroad locomotive with an air propeller driven by two aerial 260-horse power engines. It is said to be able to travel 139 kilometers an hour and to consume but 500 grams of benzine per kilometer. The inventor is shown with one hand on the propeller.

It is a scientific fact that no two persons in the world are alike. Stop for a moment and think and one will realize that this is true. Take any one of your friends and you will easily recall that while two have one or more points of similarity there are a dozen different features in which they do not agree at all. Whoever heard of twins that were alike in everything? They may look the same in a general way, but they are not; there will be one or more characteristics that will absolutely identify one from the other.
Getting down to actual facts, no two sides of a person are alike; the left is different from the right. The right hand is larger than the left, but the left foot is nearly always larger than the right. A person's right arm is longer, heavier and larger than the left, possibly because it is the working arm of the body, while the law of opposites decrees that the left leg shall be slightly larger than the right. Again, one ear is always larger than the other or one shoulder is higher than its companion, and so it goes on down the line.
Louis Crommelin Chiefly Responsible for Progress of Irish Linen Industry
Louis Crommein, who fled from France after the repeal of the Edict of Nantes in 1699, is chiefly responsible for the Irish linen industry. When he left France he was accompanied by a number of refugees who helped him greatly improve the Irish linen trade. In 1711, when the board of trustees was formed to encourage and extend the manufacture of linen in Ireland, the machinery in use was very simple and was worked principally by hand. Soon after, in 1725, new machinery was invented and applied for many of the processes.
In 1765 Dr. James Ferguson of Belfast received a premium from the linen board for the successful application of lime in linen bleaching. He introduced the use of sulphuric acid in 1770. Up to that time the acid employed was buttermilk and soll of cattle applied instead of alkali.
After that improvements took place rapidly. Potash for making dye to boil the yarns and cloth came into use in 1789, and choride of lime, the bleaching agent, in 1795.
America Is Surpassed by Europe in Eating Potatoes
In this country the chief and practically only interest in the potato today is as a vegetable for the table. We are greatly surpassed in this use by Europe, and Germany in particular. In that land the average annual per capita consumption was seven bushels in normal times, while our own was two and a half. The laborers of eastern Germany ate seventeen bushels per annum. The other European countries are, as a rule, far above us and the diet of many an Irishman is said to be potatoes and spring water—for breakfast, dinner and supper. In addition to this direct consumption, uses of the potato largely unknown to Uncle Sam are for flour, starch, dextrine, glucose and alcohol.
Duty to Childhood.
Men of today have a duty to childhood because they themselves have once been children. Each generation is a recipient in its turn of the accumulated wisdom and plety of previous ages, and is in duty bound to pass that on, "plus a certain increment due to its own exertion."

A Day's Meals.
When it is not possible to have fresh fruit for the morning meal, or when a variety is liked, a dish of well stewed prunes with very little sugar is a most wholesome fruit. They can always be kept on hand at any season, and are a storehouse of medicinal as well as food value. In buying prunes it is never economy to take the small ones as they are usually all pit. Examine the stones or pits and buy the kind that has the least waste; you will pay a higher price, but they are worth it. Wash them well in warm water and then soak them over night. Simmer until tender in the same water in which they were soaked. They will require little sugar, for which, these days "we are very thankful."
Whole wheat right from the granary is especially good for growing children. When well cooked, and served with top milk it is the ideal breakfast food for the whole family. It will need to be soaked over night then cooked all day at a low temperature to soften the grain.
When a small supper dish, something hot is desired, try
Escalloped Celery.
Cook the outer stalks cut in small pieces until tender, drain and add to a rich white sauce. Bake until thoroughly heated and serve from the baking dish. Another which is very good is
Cheese and Crumbs.
Take two cupfuls of soft bread crumbs, a cupful or less of grated cheese, one and one-half cupfuls of milk, one egg and salt and pepper to taste. Soak the bread five minutes in the milk, add the other ingredients and bake. Serve hot.
Filled Cookies.
Take one-third of a cupful of butter substitute, one cupful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar and one of soda, half a cupful of milk and three cupfuls of flour. Salt and flavoring to taste. Roll out and place a filling (cooked) of half a cupful of sugar, a tablespoonful of flour, one cupful of chopped raisins and half cupful of water with the rind and juice of half a lemon. Cover with another cooky and when all are covered bake in a hot oven.
Swiss Steak
Take a pound and a half of round steak, lay it on a meat board and with the edge of a heavy saucer pound in as much flour well seasoned with salt and pepper as it will hold. A good cupful will not be too much. Brown in a very hot frying pan with a sliced onion, add water to cover and simmer for an hour or two over a low burner or on the back of the range. A tablespoonful of vinegar added with the water if the meat is very tough will help to soften the tough fibers of the meat.
THIS AND THAT
A woman never thinks of her husband as a gambler as long as he doesn't lose.
A successful man forms plans and sticks to them, working like a gimlet to a point.
If it wasn't for his wife a man would never know anything worth knowing about his neighbors.
What a girl in love calls a square meal wouldn't pass as a free lunch with the average man.
Of All Sounds in Nature,
Few Thrill Like Bark of
Squirrel, Naturalist Says
"As one pushes through the fringe of undergrowth which skirts the forest and seats himself, at daybreak, on a stump or a fallen tree to watch and listen, the woods become instinct with life," says Arthur F. Rice in boys' Life. "The blue jay sounds his trumpet call, the crows hold noisy consultation over their plans for the day and a ruffled grouse whips the twigs of the pine with her wing as she leaves her roost. The chipmunks scurry about from stump to stump, now rushing precipitately to cover, now coming forth again to take a critical view of the intruder. Their larger cousins, the red squirrels, come out from the hemlocks and, perching on a dead branch, rattle out a challenge to all comers. At last comes the sound for which you have been waiting and which makes the heart beat faster. It is a thrashing among the boughs of the hollow maple nearby, telling you that the gray squirrel is out after his breakfast.
"Away he goes toward some big oak or hickory, scattering a shower of dew from the leaves as he jumps from limb to limb, revealing his course by the springing branches he leaves behind him. If his suspicions are aroused by anything he sees or hears, he stops, cocks himself up on a limb or plasters himself against a tree trunk and, barks disapprovingly, accented each syllable with a jerk of his broad tail. Of all the sounds in nature, there are few which thrill me like the bark of the gray squirrel."
Chinese Schools in Java Established With Hope of Keeping Language Alive
In the hope of preserving a knowledge of the Chinese language, literature and the Confucian ethics, Huel Kuan schools were established in every large town in Java as a bait to the youth of the land. The schools are thoroughly modernized and a youngster can study English and other European languages, geography, history and a score of other things under competent instructors, so long as Chinese is studied at the same time.
As further inducement to attendance, all Chinese instruction is carried on in the mandarin, or official, Chinese language, so that any student who returns to China will be prepared to talk to the educated of all provinces and will not be confined to petty boundaries of any of the numerous Southern dialects. Chinese, however, gets little attention from the students, who seem to regard the study of it as useless drudgery, and who devote their whole time and interests to the subjects which will be of most assistance to them in the commercial world. All local business in Java is conducted in Malay, and all foreign business in English.
Scores of patriotic youngsters who graduate from Huel Kuan schools go to China yearly, upon their graduation, and enter military colleges there, eventually finding their way into the Chinese army.
Evidence Indicates Indian Late Comer, Compared With Residents During Ice Age
Several scientific investigators agree that the Indian as we know him is a comparatively late comer. Whether he arrived by way of Alaska from Asia may never be discovered, but the relics of his civilization are believed to date back not more than a few thousand years at most, observes a writer in Boys' Life. There is much evidence on the other hand to indicate that men lived in North America at the close of the ice age and perhaps during the glacial period. The evidence is found for the most part in the Ohio and Delaware valleys. The rude instruments these men used in their hunting and homes have been found buried deep in gravel which is believed to date back to the close of the ice age. If this be the case men lived in America 10,000 or 15,000 years ago. Some geologists believe that the gravel deposits are considerably older. How these men found their way to America in remote antiquity, how much of the land they occupied and where they disappeared are perhaps the most fascinating problems in American archaeology. The patient investigations of many trained scientists are carrying us every day nearer the answer.
Chipmunk Stores Plenty of Food for Winter Use
The chipmunk is a provident little chap, and stores up a prodigious quantity of food, sometimes a peck or more of nuts and grain; and when snugly hidden in his winding burrow, the mouth of which he closes when the cold season arrives, a hard winter has no torrors for him. His enemies, the hawks, owls and weasels, may go hungry, but safe in the bosom of mother earth, with the warm mantle of the snow above him, the chipmunk passes a cosy winter, in the midst of comfort and plenty, dreaming of the time when the south wind shall blow again and the squirrel cups shall open once more.—Boys' Life.

BLAME ON PAPER
Atrocious Wall Coverings Cause of Bad Temper.
In Article on the Subject, English Journal Makes Serious Charges Against Designers Who Give
"It isn't your liver which is wrong, it is your will power!" may possible be the exclamation of the doctor in the near future. Instead of sending round to the chemist for salts and senna, the man who feels his nerves to be jangled, his digestion to be rotten and a taste in his mouth like sucked pennles, will call in the men with the ladders, the paste bucket and the slapdash brushes.
Many a man thinks he is bad tempered and takes himself seriously to task, as he reads his paper in the train, for having left behind him a family in tears, when really, he is perfectly innocent.
If he did break out and say things and slam doors and throw things about and ask who had been chopping firewood with his best razor and call the breakfast bacon "putrid"—it probably was—it was not that he was "ratty," but that the wallpaper all over his house was enough to give a rhinoceros a thin skin, a writer in London Answers asserts. In the days before wallpapers were invented the world bred quite a large and regular crop of saints. The reason no new saint ever appears on the horizon is due to wallpapers. Who could be a saint and live with the atrocious convolutions, evolutions and pyrotechnics of the modern wallpaper?
The thing is impossible. A wall covered with a fruit salad of cherries, with leaves to match, may be borne with for a day, or even a week, but when it comes to living with it a whole year, and often much more, it gets on the nerves and frays the edges of the nervous system. Then there is the flower paper, a few degrees worse than the fruit salad contraption. A little red rose or two scattered broadcast on a nice, creamy background may be all right, but when it comes to what the Covent garden porter calls "A market bunch" repeated all over the wall 520 times it is calculated to send a Galapagos tortoise into hopping madness.
Then it is a funny thing how wallpaper designers love big flowers. They wouldn't be seen looking at a daisy or a primrose, but put a sunflower or a dahlia or a rhododendron or a prize chrysanthemum or some mixture of all these which makes a flower no one ever saw outside an opium dream and they go for it with avidity and reproduce it by the hundred gross!
Paperhangers would be well advised to change their method of advertising their craft. It is no use to put up a sign simply saying that you are a house decorator, "estimates free," and that sort of rot. Say, rather:
"N. O. Arsnik, Professor of Rest Cure. Are you jumpy? Do you tremble when you see a job of work? Are you given to language? Do you assault the gas meter man and set the dog on the tax gatherer? What you want is a new wallpaper or two—something in low tones, restful and soothing."
"Giddap!"
The Stars and Stripes propheses that long after the last of the American forces have left France echoes of Yankee vernacular will linger among the French peasantry, and to bear out its prophecy it tells the following story of a good woman at Vouvray, a suburb of Tours, who bought at a sale, conducted by our remount service, a horse with which on the whole she was well pleased. When, however, she had it only a short time a private from the Tours barracks came upon the worried old lady, circling horse and cart in a vain effort to get the beast to start.
"How goes it, maidame?" he inquired.
"Ah, monsieur, he is a bon cheval, but he understands not the French. How is it you say 'allez!' monsieur?" "Volla, madame," he replied, and took the reins and with a single "gid-dap!" urged the horse into action.
"Ah, mercl, monsieur, mercl!" exclaimed the amazed and delighted woman.
If ten years from now she remembers no more than "giddap!"—well, that's something.
Secretary Baker a "Bartender"

"I might have a chance to get a job after March 4, 1921," said Secretary of War Baker the other day, "if it had not been for the prohibition business.
"Once when I was mayor of Cleveland I had a hand in settling a labor row. When it was all over one of the men asked me if I carried a union card. I replied that I did not, but would be very glad to have the chance to do so. In the next day's mail I got a card entitling me to life membership in the bartenders' union.
"I carry the card to this day, but now I am afraid it will not do me much good."—New York Sun.

FRENCH TERMS ARE FINAL
PARLIAMENT WILL NOT GRANT
CONCESSIONS THAT WOULD
CAUSE DOWNFALL.
TURKEY IS STRIPPED
RETAINS ONLY SACRED PLACES AND ADRIANOPLE BY TREATY BEING COMPLETED.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Paris, March 5.—The French government will make determined opposition to any revision of the treaty of Versailles that would modify her claims on Germany, it has been learned.
The attitude of the French government, according to the official point of view, is in perfect accord with the sentiments of the new Chamber of Deputies. It is held that any further concessions by the French government to Germany would not be tolerated by Parliament and, if made, the government would be overthrown.
The French official view of the economic situation, it was stated in authoritative circles, is "the same as that set forth in London," that is, that Europe must be put on a prosperous basis. The French, however, it was pointed out, are beginning to think their allies have forgotten that France herself is not on a prosperous basis and not in a position to make concessions that would affect her own economic interests to any one, least of all to Germany.
London.—Turkey is stripped of virtually all her territory in Europe, but retains the sacred places and Adrianope by the treaty now being completed by the conference of foreign ministers and ambassadors, it has become known.
The Evening Standard states that the allied Supreme Council has decided to allow Germany to launch an international loan, because it is recognized that Germany ruined would mean a weak and dangerous spot in Europe. The loan, the newspaper says, would take precedence over any indemnity payments Germany is called upon to make.
Constantinople.—In view of the gravity of the situation the cabinet has resigned. The sultan has called upon Marshal Izzet Pasha to form a new cabinet.
Izzet Pasha is a partisan of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the leader of the Turkish nationalists. His designation as head of the new cabinet is regarded here as a distinct trimmph for the Nationalists over the sultan and the more conservative leaders.
Faints at Name of Landis.
Chicago.—Max Stein, dealer in notions, fainted twice. His first collapse came when a deputy United States marshal was reading a summons calling him into Judge Landis' court to explain why he was selling bonus Legion buttons to slackers and anybody else who could produce the price. When the deputy reached the name of Judge Landis, Stein fainted dead away.
Holland to Guard Kaiser.
The Hague.—The draft of Holland's answer to the second allied note regarding the extradition of the former German emperor is completed. It is learned that Holland, while reiterating her refusal to surrender Wilhelm, expressed her willingness to guard him and also her realization of the necessity of safeguarding the world's peace.
Bogus Messengers Get $10,000,
New York.—Two new robberies in the financial district in which bogus messengers escaped with $10,000 worth of bonds and securities have been reported here. The thefts aggregating $200, 000 have been reported in the last few days, according to Assistant District Attorney Dooling. The thefts of securities, Mr. Dooling declared, have occurred from Jacksonville, Fla., to Toronto, Canada, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Urge Bureau for Women.
Washington.—Prompt legislation in establishing a woman's bureau in the Labor Department to deal with problems of women workers was urged by Secretary Wilson and representatives of more than a score of women's unions before the Senate and House labor committees. Twelve million women now are engaged in gainful occupations, Mary Van Fleck of the Russell Sage foundation told the meeting.

Cutting Up Meat Preparatory to Pickling.
(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.)
In the present sugar shortage it is advisable, even if sugar can be procured to use molasses or some kind of sipur in place of it in the formulas used for curing pork, according to specialists.
If sugar is used for dry curing, it is better, anyway, to make it into a sipur before using, for salt mixed with sugar will not stick on meat as well as salt mixed with sipur. The use of molasses or commercial sipur does away with this extra work.
The following formulas have been found to give good results:
**Sweet Pickle or Brine Cure.**
Select pieces, 12 pounds or less.
Make a pickle consisting of:
pickle for 30 days.
con, 18 days.
After the meat h week, take it all out rel, remove the p meat, weight it down the same pickle over peat every week.
**Dry C**
(Applicable to eith meat.) Mix thorough 3% pounds salt.
1 ounce saltpeter.
1 ounce red pepper.
1 ounce black peper.
Then add 1½ poul molasses and mix it assumes the appes.
Apply a liberal co mixture to all surf excepting the skin.
The meat should t
$1 \frac{1}{4}$ pounds sirup or molasses, or if preferred, $1 \frac{1}{4}$ pounds sugar, preferably brown.
1 ounce saltpeter.
$2 \frac{1}{4}$ gallons water.
(These amounts are based on 50 pounds of meat. If more or less meat is used, the amounts of the ingredients should be correspondingly increased or decreased, as the case may be. Under no circumstances should the individual piece of meat weigh over 12 pounds.)
Place the meat in a stone jar or hardwood barrel, and weight it down with a board and stone. Do not use iron, for it will rust.
Then pour in just pickle enough to cover the meat.
Leave the meat in the pickle three days to the pound of meat, so that a 10磅 ham would be left in the
MORE VEGETABLES IN WINTER ARE FAVORED
MORE VEGETABLES IN WINTER ARE FAVORED
Salts of Many Kinds Are Needed for Good Health.
Plentiful Supply Will Keep Children Well and Make Their Meals More Appetizing—Canned Product Needs Seasoning.
Vegetables should be freely included in the winter diet as well as in the summer one. Doctors say that that tired-out feeling which many people have at the end of winter—"spring fever"—often comes from a lack of fruits and vegetables in the winter diet. Plenty of vegetables keep the children well and make their meals more appetizing. Vegetables mashed and put through a sieve are more easily digested by little children.
Salts of many kinds are needed by the body, or it will not work smoothly. Vegetables and fruit are rich in them and if you eat a variety you are sure to get all the kinds of salt you need.
When the water in which vegetables are cooked is thrown away, valuable salts are often wasted. Sometimes the flavor is not desirable, but if it is good save this water for soup or gravy. An even better process is to cook the vegetables in as little water as possible so there is none left to drain off, or bake or steam them. Canned and dried vegetables often need only skillful seasoning to make them taste as good as the fresh variety. Canned corn is very good when turned into a baking dish with the addition of milk and seasoning added, heated through, in the oven, and allowed to brown on top. Outside stalks of celery, a green pepper, or both, chopped and added before baking, will vary the flavor of the dish.
A small can of spinach, chard, or beet tops, combined with rice or bread crumbs, will serve seven or eight people if it is made into a loaf. Asparagus or string beans are also good served in this way.
1 can chopped spin- 2 cups white sauce ach 1 red pepper
4 cups boiled rice
Make a thick white sauce of two cups of milk, four tablespoons of flour, four tablespoons of butter, and one teaspoon of salt. Melt fat and mix with flour, add to milk and stir over the fire until it thickens. Mix with the rice, chopped spinach, and pepper. Form into a loaf and bake 20 or 30 minutes.
Investigations with dried vegetables, which have been conducted in the experimental kitchen of the United States department of agriculture, show that provided the dried vegetables are of good quality they are quite as satisfactory when they are cooked without previous soaking, as when soaked, and oftentimes better.
1 ounce saltpeter.
pickle for 30 days, and a 6-pound bacon, 18 days.
After the meat has been in cure a week, take it all out of the jar or barrel, remove the pickle, replace the meat, weight it down, and again pour the same pickle over the meat. Repeat every week.
Dry Cure.
(Applicable to either light or heavy meat.) Mix thoroughly—
3 $ \frac{1}{2} $ pounds salt.
1 ounce saltpeter.
1 ounce red pepper.
1 ounce black pepper.
Then add $1\frac{1}{2}$ pounds warm sirup or molasses, and mix with the above until it assumes the appearance of sawdust.
Apply a liberal coating of the above mixture to all surfaces of the meat, excepting the skin.
The meat should then be placed on a table, clean floor, or in a hardwood barrel, after first sprinkling the surface of the table, floor, or bottom of the barrel with salt.
Leave all the meat in cure undisturbed until the heaviest piece has been in for a period of $1\frac{1}{2}$ days to the pound. Thus if the heaviest ham weighs 20 pounds, leave all the meat in cure 30 days.
Meats cured in sweet pickle or brine should be consumed within 90 days from date of cure. Meats cured with dry cure may be consumed immediately upon removal from cure, but the flavor improves with age, and the meat is better 60 days after curing. Dry-cured hams have been known to keep three or four years.
PROPER COOKING IS SECRET
When Well Cooked Cornmeal and Oat meal Are Most Delicious Porridges for Breakfast.
Cornmeal and oatmeal are among the cheapest of cereals, and when well cooked make delicious breakfast porridges. The dislike which many people have for them is because they are too often served half cooked and insufficiently salted. In this condition they are among the most unattractive of foods, but when well cooked and served with cream or rich milk they are delicious, and there are few who find them unappetizing.
To make a delicious cornmeal mush for five people use $1\frac{1}{2}$ cups of cornmeal. 2 level teaspoons of salt, and 5 or 6 cups of water. Bring the salted water to a boil and stir in the cornmeal slowly. Be careful not to let it lump. Cook the porridge at least 30 minutes. The flavor is greatly improved when it is cooked for 3 hours or over night. This should be done in a double boiler on the back of the stove or in a fireless cooker.
For oatmeal porridge, use $2\frac{1}{2}$ cups of rolled oats, $2\frac{1}{2}$ level teaspoons of salt, and 5 or 6 cups of water. When the water is boiling, stir the rolled oats slowly into it and cook the porridge for one hour, or, still better, over night.
PREPARING FIGS AND DATES
Fruits Should Be Carefully Washed Before Eating Because of Exposure to Contagion.
Dried figs and dates should be washed carefully before being eaten as they have been exposed for an unknown length of time to possible contagion by flies and dirty hands. In how many houses are oranges washed before they are brought to the table, or the lemons before they are sliced for tea or lemonade, or before the skin is grated for flavoring? Yet orange and lemon skins often are very dirty. Shelled nuts purchased in the market should always be washed, scalded, and dried by a clean cloth before they are used.

Savory Fish.— Cut a two-inch cube of salt pork in dice and try out. To three tablespoonfuls of pork fat add
The whites will come off oranges if held under cold water and scraped. Cover ponched eggs just a minute before serving to give them the pretty pink, glazed look. Water forms at least
three tablespoonfuls of flour, stir until well blended, then pour on gradually one and one-half cupfuls of cold milk. Boil and add one cupful of finked halibut or haddock, three-fourths of a cupful of potato cubes, which have been cooked, the pork scraps, and the yolks of two eggs. Season and serve hot.
once a week with cold coffee or tea; it will make them very luxuriant. Add a little chopped cabbage and apple to the ordinary potato salad to give it a little unusual flavor. Canned pineapple juice cooked with sago or tapioca and served with cream, using a garnish of chopped pineapple, makes a most dainty dessert.
Mock Crab.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter, add one-half cupful of flour, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, three-fourths teaspoonful of mustard, one-fourth teaspoonful of paprika. When well blended pour gradually while stirring constantly one and one-half cupfuls of scalded milk. Bring to the boiling point and add one can of kornlet, one egg lightly beaten, three teaspoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce. Turn into a buttered dish, cover with a cupful of buttered crumbs and bake until brown.
A small amount of preserves stirred into cake crumbs and flavored with a drop of rose, garnished with whipped cream, makes another easy and good dessert.
For a delicious layer cake filling take one cupful of maple sirup and stir thick with powdered sugar, add nuts to the filling and use the plain mixture for the top.
One new thing a day is the rule for the evening meal conversation. Each contributes something of interest, making the gathering a cheery, happy event.
Head Lettuce With Pears.—A most attractive and appetizing salad is this: Arrange the crisp heart leaves of lettuce on the salad plates and fill each nest with eighths of carefully peeled pears. A few strips of red pepper placed over them as a garnish adds to the appearance, but paprika may be used, sprinkled over the dressing. If French dressing is used, add a bit of onion and a dash of cayenne.
When running sash window curtains on rods which are not smooth at the ends, use an old glove finger over the rod.
When cooking rice, save enough to make griddle cakes for breakfast. Add one cupful of rice to the batter. Use some for supper or luncheon dish with meat and tomato.
Coffee-Date Pudding—Soak a box of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold coffee. Add a pint of boiling coffee, one-half cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt. Strain and cool. When beginning to thicken add one-half pound of quartered dates and a half cupful of walnut meats. Serve with cream.
When tying a package and you have no one to put a finger on the string to hold it, slip the end you are tying twice under the string; the knot will not slip while you finish tying it.
Halves of pears and peaches with chopped nuts and any liked salad dressing make delicious and quickly made salads.
Pineapple Custard—Add a cupful of diced, sugared or preserved, pineapple, to any good recipe for custard and bake as usual.
French zine, thinned with boiled oil to make it of the right consistency. is a much finer white paint than any made of white lead, goes farther, and has a much finer gloss.
Fame is the scentless sunflower,
With gaudy crown of gold;
But friendship is the breathing rose,
With sweep in the air.

Cheese has been called hard to digest, because being rich it slips down with little mastication and being in hard lumps in the stomach does often cause distress. This same compactness which gives us such valuable food in small compass, makes it harder of digestion unless it is eaten with coarse food, such as dry crackers or vegetables which need good mastication.
Green Soup.—Wash two quarts of spinach in several waters. Wash, peel and chop five three small turnips, two onions, a bunch of celery and a sprig of parsley. Fry the vegetables gently in four tablespoonfuls of butter. Add one pint of water and simmer until tender. Mix two tablespoonfuls of flour with a little milk, add it to one and one-half pints of milk, let boll five minutes. Put all the vegetables through a sieve, then add the hot milk and serve with fried bread.
Other meat substitutes which will lend variety to the diet are whole wheat, dried beans, peas and lentils, peanuts, walnuts, pecans, eggs, butter, cream, olive oil, milk, macaroni, and rice. Dried fruits as well as fresh are indispensable in a well balanced diet. These foods in various forms and in combinations with others will give a sufficient variety.
Spanish Eggs.—Cook together one cupful of stewed tomatoes and one clove of garlic, finely minced, one chopped onion, two sweet green peppers seeded and chopped. Cook gently until reduced one-half. Spread on thin slices of buttered toast and lay a peached or fried egg on each slice.
Children, when teething and suffering with swollen gums, will be greatly refreshed by cool fruit juice or scraped apple. A worrying baby is often sufferieg for frequent drinks of pure, cool water. It is well to remember that young children and animals cannot tell us what they need, and often suffer because of the carelessness of those who should be responsible.
Boiled Fish In Court Bouillon.—Mince one onion, one stalk of celery, three sprigs of parsley. Fry them in a little butter, add two teaspoonfuls of salt, six pepper corn, a bay leaf, three cloves, two quarts of boiling water, one pint of vinegar. Boll fifteen minutes, strain and keep to use in boiling fish. Rub the fish with salt and lemon juice and put in the boiling liquor; simmer until the flesh falls from the bones.
Foods which must be denied children should not be placed temptingly before them—a strong reason for having the children eat alone. Their food should be palatable and attractively served. Table manners may be learned very early which will never have to be relearned.
Maple Junket.—Warm just lukewarm one quart of milk, add one dissolved junket tablet, one-third of a cup of maple sugar and pour into sheert cup. Serve with grated maple sugar and cream, or a pudding sauce made of two-thirds of a cup of maple sugar, two tablespoonfuls of flour, one cupful of boiling water, two tablespoonfuls of butter and vanilla to flavor.
Currants and raisins may be cleaned by rubbing them with flour, then shake it off to remove all dust.
To get the flavor of orange for tea, sauce or for any other dish, rub a cube of sugar over the rind to absorb the essential oil. One orange will furnish flavor for two or three cubes.
Escaloped Celery With Cheese. Cook the rough coarse portions of celery, cut in blits, until tender, add to a rich white sauce in layers with cheese. Bake in a moderate oven until the cheese is melted.
Drop the yolks of eggs left over into a cup and cover with cold water. If the yolks are unbroken they will keep several days.

TAILORED SUITS FOR SPRING WEAR

COLORADO STATESMAN
The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West
A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.
THE choice of a tailored suit for spring gives one more concern than any other item in the wardrobe, except the hat that is to go with it. The woman who knows how to clothes herself correctly, from head to toe for the street, in unostentatious but elegant garb, as full of style as it is quiet—well, she will command admiration. No one can outshine her. She must begin by studying her own peculiarities, considering her figure and her own style. Some women look best in the plainest suits, but they are rather few.
Women of this day have a great advantage because the needs of all figures and all styles are very carefully studied by professional designers. They plan to conceal the angles of women who are too slender and to lengthen the curves of those who are too stout. They incorporate new style features and manage them adroitly, and they introduce color or omit it, so as to suit every one.
THE COLORADO STATESMAN
The new spring suits are swinging away from the fanciful styles of the past season and are somewhat plain-
BOUDOIR
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.
T IS hard to decide which of two things is most vitally interesting to the female of the species, and they are the clothing she wears and the furnishing of her home. Except for the care and thought she bestows on her family, nothing engrosses her as these things do. It is an instinct with women to want to be attractively clothed and to make their homes attractive, and let us hope that these things will remain uppermost in her ambition.
TWODOLLARSAYEAR
A great deal of attention is given now to pillows for different parts of the house—those for the living room, the porch and the bedrooms—which they help to make inviting and restful. Cretonnes and other cheerful and durable fabrics serve for porch furnishings, silks, tapestries, plushes and other more pretentious fabrics take care of the living rooms, while bedroom or boudoir pillows avail themselves of daimy laces, embroideries, silks, ribbons and even georgette crepe and chiffons.
Most of these boudoir pillows are first covered with silk in light colors
er. Vests in contrasting colors and made of silk, for which there was a furore last spring, have reappeared, but they do not dominate the styles, for there are many coats without vests to be worn over the popular lingerie waists. Braid and buttons are sparingly used, embroideries flourish and there is a pronounced liking for neat effects. Coats are shorter than they were; jacket styles have attained some importance; skirts are about shoe-top length, the extremely short models which Paris launched, finding themselves rejected in this country. The two suits shown above may be taken as types worth considering; that one having a vest of crossbar fantasial silk and vertical accordeon plaits in cont and skirt revealing new features in the mode.
Silvered Net.
Silvered net plays a large part in young girls' evening frocks. The net cones in all the accepted evening colors, and the silvering is accomplished by machine in a scroll design. Usually the net is scalloped like lace at the edge.

and over these colored foundations the dainty washable covers are fitted. They may be kept clean, and they must be, to preserve their chief charm. Bows of ribbon, small clusters of silk flowers help to furnish them with the "splendor dear to woman." For making them the same sheer fabrics and laces serve as milady uses for many of her own garments; they match up with her negligees. Julia Bottomly
What is described as the cuff turban is an interesting new small hat. A Paris model is of hatters' plush and is finished with a scroll embroidered mesh vell that is uniquely draped over the hat. In Paris the novelty of the hour is the big paradise bird, which almost covers one side of a hat or toque, and one of the best Rue de la Palx milliners declares hers are but horsehair cleverly dyed.
