OUR TERRITORY: COLORADO, WYOMING, MONTANA, IDAHO, ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY "DRY" TYRANNY HIT BY BLIGHT AGITATORS TOOK ADVANTAGE OF NATION'S PERIL, HE SAYS—WOULD HAVE PEOPLE PASS ON LIQUOR QUESTION. VOL. XXVI. "DRY" TYR HIT AGITATORS TOOK ADVANTA SAYS—WOULD HAVE P QUES (Los Angeles Express, March 8). Hitting what he called the tyranny of the "drys," Reynold E. Blight spoke yesterday before the Church of the People, on "The Results of Prohibition." He said in part: "Grave social and economic disturbances are following the enforcement of the prohibition amendment. The industrial centers of the East are complaining bitterly because hundreds of thousands of workers are leaving this country because of the drastic prohibition laws, causing a serious labor shortage. "The drinking of a glass of wine or a stein of beer is not in itself an immoral act and any law resting upon that assumption must fail. "No law can be enforced that is not supported by an overwhelming public opinion. Non-enforcement is nullification. Nullification of one law brings law enforcement into ridicule and contempt, breeds disrespect for all law and produces social demoralization. In a democracy the education of public sentiment must precede the enforcement of the law by police power. "The tyranny of a fanatical minority is more to be feared than the tyranny of a cynical and power-conscious majority. Prohibition was put over by the clever scheming of a group of professional agitators, taking unfair advantage of a great national crisis and while all the energies of the nation were directed toward averting a terrible catastrophe. Sincerity and religious zeal do not excuse tyrannical methods. Let it not be forgotten that the holy inquisition was one of the most conscientious institutions that history knows. Undoubtedly the vast majority of the people are opposed to the saloon and the traffic in high-proof beverages; but unquestionably the majority of the people favor the manufacture and sale of light wines and beers. Let us have a national plebiscite so worded that the preference of the people may be distinctly known. Let it be a fair test-out of public sentiment, free from the abnormal excitement and circumstances of a great war; and also give the men who fought for liberty a chance to express themselves. "If the cause of prohibition is a just one, that can stand the test of public discussion, without passion or bitterness, let the prohibition leaders submit the issue to a popular vote and make a frank democratic appeal to the people for decision. The question will never be settled until this is done." INCREASED STRIDES MADE Atlanta, Ga., March 5.—(Reciprocal News Service.)—After being in session the entire day the directors of the Standard Life Insurance Company adjourned at 7:30 tonight. It was a special call sent out by President H. E. Perry. A majority of the stockholders responded to the call, the pur- pose of which was the taking under consideration the purchase of a home for Standard Life. The meeting was called to order by President Perry, but Mr. P. B. Young, president of the A. and M. College at Tallahassee, Fla., presided throughout the day. The special committee appointed to select a site and to make recommendations had previously made their report, and after considering the matter in their report, the directors decided to recommend the purchasing of a one hundred thousand dollar site. If their recommendations carry, and if the parties who own the property accept the recommendations, it means, so it is rumored on the streets here tonight, that Standard Life will have within the next eighteen months the most centrally located home office of any insurance company in the United States. In addition to this business transacted, the seventh annual statement showing the condition of the business at the close of 1919 was submitted. It shows paid-up insurance on the pay-for basis of fourteen million dollars; it gives the net gain for 1919 as five million, five hundred twenty thousand, four hundred forty-nine dollars; and assets and liabilities of six hundred eighty-six thousand, five hundred eighty dollars, eighty-two cents. The new directors who were elected in the January meeting were present for their initial meeting. It is understood that the July or mid-summer directors' meeting will take up other matters affecting Standard Life. ROSCOE SIMMONS DEFEATED IN G. O. P. DELEGATE FIGHT. Dr. George W. David of Lexington Wins Over Opponents in Race for Fourth Delegate at Large at Republican State Convention. Louisville, Ky., March 10.—At the close of an interesting Republican state convention here Kentucky remained an open field for the candidates for the G. O. P. presidential nomination. The Kentucky delegation of twenty-six was completed by the election of the "Big Four" from this state. The nearest the state convention came to instructing the delegates was the adoption of resolutions containing a short paragraph declaring that the delegations should uphold the standards and the principles of the party. Kentucky elected a woman, Mrs. John Glover South of Frankfort, as a delegate at large. There was a pre-convention agreement among the leaders that one woman should be chosen as a delegate at large. Other members of the "Big Four" are A. T. Hert, national committeeman; Governor Edward P. Morrow and Dr. S. H. George, colored, of Paducah. Alternate delegates from state at large were elected as follows: H. Green Garrett, Winchester; Dr. Ben L. Bruner, Louisville; Mrs. John W. Langtry, Pikeville, and Dr. George W. David, colored, Lexington. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 20, 1920 State Hist. & Nat Hist Boc. State House O, WYOMING, MO ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S Governor Morrow, Mr. Hert and Mrs. South were indorsed unanimously. Simmons Is Defeated. A contest raged for more than four hours, as to whom should be selected from the Negroes for fourth delegate at large. In a vote by counties Dr. George won over the veteran Louisville Negro politician, Roscoe Conklin Simmons; Dr. George F. David of Lexington and Prof. George W. Saffel of Shelbyville. After the figures were announced the nomination was made unanimous. NEGRO SONG WRITER HAS PHENOMENAL SUCCESS. Prof. O. Willis Winkfield of Tullahassee, Okla., who bears the distinction of a song writer as well as an author, has become sole publisher of his own works. He has just received from the press several thousand copies of four of his latest song hits, which the music dealers are selling with phenomenal success. The songs that this master of melody has written that are popular in the Southwest are: "Sunshine After Rain," "Peace, Our Pretty Dove," "Her Heart in Smile" and "The Soul Sublime." The latter song will surely merit its way among the classics; it is a sacred number which lifts you in thought. The lyric, "Sunshine After Rain," was written by the young author in 1912 and was set to music by Jack Standley of Washington, D. C. The publisher of the song soon went out of business, canceling contract covering terms of publishing the song. The writer of this song has revised it and set it to very enchanting music. These songs will be issued at wholesale prices to dealers and retailled to the public. The proceeds of "The Soul Sublime" will go to the building fund of the First Presbyterian Church Tulahassee, Okla., for the first year. PROGRAM FOR HEALTH WEEK ANNOUNCED.

Baltimore, Md.—Five dining car waiters from New York on the Pennsylvania railroad were discharged by Justice Johannsen when arraigned in the police court in this city on charges of disorderly conduct following a mix-up on their car in which two white southerners, Hoke and Barrett, were roughly handled. Frequent use of the word "nigger" by the white men was objected to by the waiter, and Hoke attempted to strike the colored man. A row followed, in which Barrett was badly battered up about the face. At Wilmington railroad police arrested Jefferson and four others—James P. Phillips, 230 West 142nd street; Walter H. Hays, 201 West 136th street; Holmes Drake, 108 West 139th street; Samuel D. Green, 151 West 140th street. The white men were allowed to proceed on to New York on a promise to return to Baltimore for the trial. Telegrams to the Waldorf-Astoria, the address given in that city, failed to elicit any response, so the men were discharged when the case was called for trial. $18,000 FOR GROVE; KEEPS $6,000 CROP. DeLand, Fla.—James Wright, one of the wealthiest Negroes in this community, has sold a forty-acre orange grove to a group of white men for $18,000, retaining for himself the present year's crop, which is estimated to be worth at least $6,000. Mr. Wright owns several groves and is reupted to be worth from $80,000 to $100,000, all of which he has accumulated during the past twenty years from his holdings in and around DeLand. He is always a large donor to funds for the public good. HIGH HONOR FOR COLORED INVENTOR. One of the highest positions ever held by a colored man has been recently given to William Solder, a colored inventor, by the Solder Improved Stove Company when they elected him as president of their $500,000 corporation. This stove is one of the most remarkable inventions that has appeared for some time. Mr. Solder has perfected what hundreds of others have been working on for years—combine a cooking stove and a hot water heater capable of using either gas or coal. This stove also does away with the large cumbersome boiler. The stove is but slightly larger and no different in appearance from the common cooking range in everyone's kitchen, but is capable of heating a house of seven rooms through a system of radiators. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.—While attending a convention held here during October, 1919, the Rev. A. C. Garner of Washington, D.

The Howard University Medical School is the only Class A medical institution for the training of Negro physicians, dentists and pharmacists in the country. Its students have free access for instruction to Freedmen's Hospital, supported by the government, which is the largest and most important hospital for Negroes in the world. CRACK COLORED REGIMENTS INVADE MEXICO NOGALES, Ariz., March 5.—The famed 10th Cavalry and the 25th Infantry, cracked regular army regiments which have been watching the Mexican border for months, moved into Mexico Sunday as a demonstration against the outlaws of that country who committed a raid on American soil on Friday, resulting with the loss of American life, and the destruction of American property. As to the extent of the expedition into the hostile country of the republic south of the Ric Grande, little could be learned, but it is generally understood that the troops are bent on business, and are acting in conjunction with the civil authorities of the border states. All during the world war the men of the 24th and 25th Infantry and 10th Cavalry were kept in close touch with the Mexican situation, as neither Carranza nor his tracherous soldiers were trusted. The colored troopers know and understand the border work better than any other soldiers in the United States army, and if given orders to make a cleanup on the "greasers," results would be forthcoming. $32,000 DERIVED FROM SALE OF EX-SLAVE'S LAND SPRINGFIELD, Ill., March 5. Sale of eighty acres of improved land, one mile southeast of this city and a part of the estate of the late Nathan Smith, said to have been one of the citys wealthiest residents, netted $32,000. The property was purchased by Joseph Bernard (white). Smith at the time of his death, Aug. 30 last, was said to be worth approximately $50,000. He had large land NO.23 holdings in the city and county. The decedent, who bequeathed his property to a number of nephews and nieces, was 67 years old at the time of his death. When a young man he was a slave, and when he came to this city he had but $6, but by careful saving and investment he accumulated the fortune. Attorney A. Morris Williams, counsel for the administrators, conducted the sale. PALPH W. TYLER ACCEPTS NEW POSITION. CLEVELAND, Ohio, March 10.—Ralph W.

OKLAHOMA COLORED GIRL GETS $1,000,000 ESTATE She Executes Deed of Trust to Property to Prevent Being Dispossessed. MUSKOGEE, Okla., March 10.—Sarah Rector, 18 years old, is Oklahoma's first Negro millionaire heirress. Fearing an attempt to get possession of the wealth she inherited, the girl voluntarily executed a deed of trust covering all. Two men who have been guardians will administer her affairs. Execution of the deed of trust probably will quash a petition filed by the girls mother to have her declared incompetent and for the appointment of a guardian. PACIFIC GROVE NEWS, CALIF.

Deschanel who, like his wife, is wealthy in his own right, purposes to spare no expense to make the palace menus the most exquisite in the land. GENERAL The estate of Harris C. Fahnestock banker, who died in June, 1914, is valued at $17,775,667, according to an accounting filed in New York with Surrogate James A. Foley, by executors of the estate.

Recruiting for the United States army in the Wyoming division of the Denver district exceeded all other divisions for the past month except that of the city of Denver, according to Capt. C. B. Cox. Captain Cox is in Denver to make his report to the officer in charge of the Denver district. The division in which the captain has charge is divided into eight offices in as many Wyoming cities. Each of the offices is in charge of a recruiting sergeant, who reports weekly to Captain Cox. Delegates of District No. 15 of the United Mine Workers of America, in their biennial convention at Colorado Springs, adopted a new constitution for the Fifteenth District, which is similar in most major points to that under which union mine workers in Illinois operate.

The Koreans still wear hats of this shape, made of straw instead of china. There is a serious shortage of leather in Czecho-Slovakia.

Franklin D'Ollier, national commander of the American Legion, was born April 28, 1877, in Burlington, N. J., where he attended local school and prepared for Princeton university. He was graduated from Princeton in 1898, and immediately entered business with his father, William D'Ollier & Co. commission April 28, 1817, in Burlington, N. J., where he attended local school and prepared for Princeton university. He was graduated from Princeton In 1898, and immediately entered business with his father, William D'Ollier & Co., commission merchants in cotton and yarns, in Philadelphia. Upon his father's retirement from business, the firm name was changed to Franklin D'Ollier & Co. Mr. D'Oller entered the military service of the United States in April, 1917, as a captain in the quartermaster corps. After a few weeks' service at the Philadelphia depot and several months at Boston he was ordered to France in August, 1917. Owing to great security of tonnage at that time and the necessity for salving material on a large scale, Mr. D'Oller was assigned to the newly organized salvage service, and in January, 1918, took command of the first salvage depot that was operated by the American army. Within six months the work had grown so rapidly that the personnel increased from 12 to 6,000, and this depot was salvaging for about 750,000 men, and was larger than any depot operated by either the British or French armies. This depot was at St. Pierre des Corps near Tours, France, the headquarters of the service of supply. In July, 1918, Captain D'Ollier was ordered to Lyons, France, to organize the second large depot, which at the time of the armistice had a capacity of taking care of salvaging for upward of a million and a half men. He was promoted to the rank of major, and then lieutenant colonel, and assigned to the general staff, and after two years' service in the army, 20 months of which was in the A. E. F., was discharged from the service in April, 1919. Mr. D'Ollier was one of the original 20 men who initiated the American Legion in France, February 15, 1919, and attended the Paris caucus of the American Legion on March 15, 1919. After his discharge from the service Mr. D'Ollier joined Theodore Roosevelt, who was at that time—early in 1919—perfecting the preliminary organization of the American Legion in the United States preparatory to the St. Louis caucus. May 8, 9 and 10. Mr. D'Oller was chairman of the Pennsylvania delegation at the St. Louis caucus and a member of the national executive committee from Pennsylvania.

Mr. D'Ollier's work for the Legion has been to co-operate with and coordinate the work of the state organizations of the Legion and to direct the preparations for the Minneapolis convention. For his work in France Mr. O'Ollier received a Distinguished Service Medal from the United States government and the Legion of Honor from the French government. IN CHARGE OF HEADQUARTERS National Adjutant, Man From State of Washington, Has Seen Much Military Service. Lemuel L.

He was born in Minneapolis on August 21, 1885, attended common school there and the MacAllister Academy at St. Paul. He moved national headquarters of the American Legion at Indianapolis. He is a native of Minneapolis. He was born in Minneapolis on August 21, 1885, attended common school there and the MacAllister Academy at St. Paul. He moved to Washington in 1904 and graduated from the University of Washington Law school. From 1907 to 1915 he was employed by the First National bank of North Yakima, and was assistant adjustant general of the state of Washington from June, 1916, to September, 1917. Mr. Bolles served in all grades in Company E, 2nd infantry, of the Washington National Guard from September, 1904, to 1914, and commanded that company from 1911 to 1914. He was called into federal service with the Washington National Guard in September, 1917, and joined the 41st division at Camp Greene, N. C., with which division he went overseas in December, 1917, and served as a lieutenant colonel on the general staff of the First corps from May 1, 1918, to March 2, 1919. On his return to the United States in July, 1919, he was discharged from the service, and was requested by the national executive committee to assist in the organization of the American Legion in the preparation for the Minneapolis convention on the staff at national headquarters. Mr. Bolles was one of the original delegates to the Paris caucus of the American Legion last March. None Down. An elderly lady was questioning the ex-artilleryman. "And what was the most terrible sight you witnessed in the war?" she asked. "Well, it was like this," replied the soldier. "We had just spotted a German machine gun nest with about twelve enemy gunners that were holding up our advance. We located the nest and put the first shot right in the middle of the Jerries." "How dreadful," interrupted the old lady, "did it kill them all?" "No'm," replied the soldier sadly, "it was a dud." EBERT RESTORED TO HUN POWER GENERAL FIGHTING AND RIOTS CONTINUE BETWEEN REDS AND TROOPS. FALKENSTEIN AND MEININGEN IN HANDS OF COMMUNISTS AND WORKMEN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Berlin, March 19.—Serious news is coming to Berlin from the provinces. Bitterfelt, Saxony, is reported to be in the possession of workmen's councils, and the whole of the Rheinish Westphalia industrial district is said to have turned Communist. A red army is reported to be marching from the south of Munster, severe fighting is said to have taken place at Mulheim and seven persons are reported to have been killed and fifteen wounded at Plauen. Falkenstein is in the hands of Communists and Meiningen and Langen-salze in control of the workmen. There were conflicts between troops and a mob yesterday in the Neukoeln quarter as a result of attacks by a mob on the military pickets, some of whom were thrown into a ravine. The troops were summoned and dispersed the rioters. One of the pickets was badly injured. The Ebert government is again in control in Berlin. Vice Chancellor Schiffer, in whose hands the sudden retirement of Dr. Wolfgang Kapp temporarily placed the administrative power, and Gustav Noske, minister of defense, are engaged in bringing about order in the city and restoring activities to their normal basis. Regular troops, loyal to the Ebert regime, are guarding the streets, and detachments of them spent part of the day in tearing down wire entanglements and barricades which the revolutionary soldiers had erected in profusion. In this connection there was an unfortunate accident, the firing of a nine to destroy a barricade at Kottbuser, in southeastern Berlin, killing twelve persons and injuring twenty-eight. Dr. Kapp's descent upon Berlin and his subsequent retreat has precipitated parliamentary chaos. The coalition parties must construct a new cabinet, which is expected to reveal at least half a dozen new faces, with the prospect of further ministerial changes as a result of the June elections. The assembly will not be dissolved immediately because it must first approve the budget, dispose of further taxation measures and the law decreeing the nationalization of the railways and pass a new election law. There are conflicting reports concerning amnesty for the rebels, and this matter promises stormy scenes in the coming meeting of the assembly, as the popular feeling in Berlin now favors severe punishment for Kapp and his adherents.

Chicago.—The annual report of Wilson & Co., Inc., meat packers, for the year 1919, issued here, showed net profits, after charges and taxes of $2,771,325, or equivalent, after preferred dividends, to $10,19 a share on the 200,000 shares of no par common stock, compared with $7,631,535, or $34.49 a share in 1918. Dividends amounting to $3.75 a share were paid on the common stock in 1919, whereas none was paid in 1918. Execution Again Postponed Execution Again Postponed. Lincoln, Neb.—Date for the electrocution of Alson B. Cole and Allen V.

NOW that the presidential election is fast approaching, naturally we are wont to hear more about labor and capital than possibly at any other time. Both the Republican and Democratic parties will, no doubt, frame planks in their platforms appealing perhaps to both labor and capital. No doubt, one party will go a little stronger in favor of the laboring classes than the other, in the hope of catching all, or, at least, the greater majority of the labor vote. But, be that as it may, the fact will still remain that there is still a great industrial problem to be settled. We do not believe that any one party will be able to finally and conclusively settle the dispute between labor and capital. In our humble opinion it will never be settled until both parties can come together on a fair and just solution and enforce a square deal to all concerned. How that end is to be reached we leave to others. But this much we do know—and that is that neither labor nor capital can be brought together so long as the labor leaders permit themselves to be used by either party. Labor and capital are necessary and dependent one upon the other, and therefore there should exist at all times, for the progress and welfare of the nation, a thorough understanding between them and their leaders. Labor cannot enforce its demands by unjust and unlawful means no more than can capital by the employment of unfair and tyrannical methods. Right there is where the government should step in and separate the disputants and compel an amicable agreement. Both of them have rights and are entitled to just and lawful consideration. Unfortunately for the labor element they have allowed an ignorant, perhaps none too loyal, element to gain great control in many of their organizations whose counsel is bad and contrary to our laws and the form of our government. Again we are afraid that in too many instances the existence of color prejudice and race prejudice is detrimental to the cause of labor. Any intelligent labor leader should be able to see and realize that fact without elaboration or discussion. Today the laboring man is earning more than ever in the history of the country. At the same time he is spending more than ever before. It costs him more to live naturally, and we question whether, with all the high wages he receives today, he is any better off. Senator Harding, who is an aspirant for the presidential nomination on the Republican ticket, in his speech at the Auditorium on March 10th, said, among other things, in speaking of the labor question, "The laboring man cannot expect a full day's pay for a half a day's work and that more efficiency would help them to realize more quickly their aims and ambitions. That labor has a just cause we do not doubt in the least, but that cause must and can succeed only by lawful means. LEONARD WOOD. IT IS written of General Leonard Wood that Lord Cromer, when asked to suggest some one to succeed himself as viceroy in Egypt, said, "that unfortunately, the best man was unavailable, since he was an American citizen named Leonard Wood." We do not wonder then that Leonard Wood, at the present writing, seems to be leading all the other candidates in the field for the Republican presidential nomination. We know of no man in public life today who has been so continuously before the public in a conspicuous way for the past twenty years than Leonard Wood. There is no man in this country better known than he in all Europe, save possibly President Wilson. And why, may we ask the reason for such world-wide fame and popularity? There are many reasons perhaps, but the most potent at this time is given in the words of the greatest American patriot and his sincere friend, the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, who said: "His rise has been astonishing, and it has been due purely to his own striking qualification and striking achievement." Of the many candidates for the presidential nomination, no one is as well known by the masses of the people as Leonard Wood. The ordinary man does not need to ask who is Wood, or what has he done—he already knows. We could hardly ever think of Roosevelt in his life time without, at the same time, thinking of his friend and associate Leonard Wood. When we sit down and begin to read American history for the past we will find the name of Leonard Wood well up toward the head of the class. Without going into detail, take up your history and read of his great work in rehabilitating Cuba, his mission to the Philippines and everything that has been his to do has been well done. As we have said previously, he is the most magnetic, and the most picturesque man in the race, and being the nearest living approach to Col. Roosevelt we believe he has a wonderful lead for the nomination. The spirit of Roosevelt still lives in the hearts of the people and we are ready to believe that they stand ready and willing to place the mantle of Roosevelt upon the great shoulders of Leonard Wood, because he is fearless, and just and will give every man a SQUARE DEAL. We do not believe there is a true American who doubts Leonard Wood's patriotism. He proved it time again in the great world war. First, when war was declared it was through his foresight and thorough knowledge of European conditions of how great a war was on and the possibility of this country becoming involved that he and Col. Roosevelt began their propaganda of "preparedness" and actually established an officers training camp at Plattsburg, N. Y., where thousands of young officers were prepared for service and were actually called upon later when we became involved in the war. When war was declared against Germany by this country, Leonard Wood was the ranking major-general in the army and the chief of staff and from point of rank and merit was more than entitled to lead the American forces in France, yet because he had preached "preparedness" he deprived himself of the great honor. But did he sulk in his tent? No, never! He was a soldier and a patriot and we find him, during all the struggle, forced to remain at home to train and prepare the men for the front. Did he grumble? No, but on the other hand he cheerfully and efficiently performed his duty and now the American people are going to hand him his just reward for his faithfulness—the nomination and election to the presidency of his country. We hear much talk about the people not wanting a military man for president. That is mere rot! Were not Grant, Hays, Garfield, McKinley and the greatest of them all, Roosevelt, soldiers? Then why not Leonard Wood at this most critical period in the history of the country? Now, when the nation is threatened with anarchy, Bolshevism and the I. W. W. and race rioting all over the country you certainly do not want a "pussy-foot politician for president, but you do want and need a man of decision and firmness to do the right thing at the right time. You want a man who will be found on the job if any trouble starts. And above all you want a man who has the ability for organization and administration and the nerve and back bone to execute. You want a man of blood and brains for president of these United States and such a man is MAJOR GENERAL LEONARD WOOD. The Great Idea: Service as the Basis of Human Relations Everywhere. By DR. LEO LEVY-BRUHL, of the Sorbonne. The world is passing through a period of great social transformations. What we call unrest is but a symptom of profound changes which are taking place in the minds and hearts of people everywhere. But, as we master the full meaning of what is going on, we shall then realize that the present unrest is the birth pains of a new ideal of human life based upon service and social justice. A. M. There is only one way out of the economic crisis in which all Europe is floundering. That is to get down to work, to resume production with renewed energy. But the working people refuse to give their labor except on new terms. There are periods in history when great acts of sacrifice are a social necessity. The individual sacrifices during the war revealed the beauty of the human soul in its capacity for self-immolation on the altar of national and human progress. Now that the war is over, the time seems ripe for collective sacrifices of groups and classes, for the great purposes of human civilization. No one who is at all attentive to the intellectual and social movement of the day can fail to sense the strong popular current that has set in against the special privilege of wealth and economic power. The abolition of all special privilege seems to me the inevitable outcome of the present social upheaval. I take a hopeful view of the situation. The painful gropings of the day seem to me to be stimulated by a great idea which is becoming clearer every day. It is the idea of service as the basis of human relations. This is our modern expression of the eternal quest for social justice. I believe that we are nearer this ideal than ever before in human history. Leading Commercial Nations May Fix Gold and Silver Exchange Ratio. By SENATOR THOMAS of Colorado, Speech in Congress. Mr. President, I have neither the wish nor the need to revive the old free-silver controversy which disturbed the political and financial chronometers from 1873 to 1900 and which became the paramount issue of the campaign of 1896. Its fundamental premise disappeared when silver touched 1.2929 in the markets of last November. It reversed itself when the price passed that figure. Gold then became the defendant in the world's financial courts. There it can say nothing in its behalf. Events have confirmed the wisdom of bimetallism, justified the arguments of its defenders, confounded the contentions of gold-standard permanency, and demonstrated the great truth that the material composing money of redemption, whatever it may be, must yield to the inexorable pressure of demand and supply, and rest its fixity of values upon the fiat of human laws and customs. If any illustration were needed to emphasize this fundamental truth, it can be found in the career of the American silver dollar which has through all the years passed current at 100 cents, while silver in the market has fluctuated from 46 cents to 134 cents the ounce. Bold, indeed, is the man who will today contend that the leading commercial nations may not agree upon and enforce a fixed ratio of exchange between the metals and thereby steady the markets of the world, increase the volume of standard money, quicken the currents of trade, and establish the world's commerce upon a permanent and enduring money basis. Our General Welfare and Happiness Are Menaced by Epidemic of Divorce. By CIRCUIT JUDGE DAVID M. BROTHERS, Chicago. Russia is menaced by legions of martial bolsheviks. America is menaced by legions of marital bolsheviks. With the possible exception of the germ of bolshevism, there is no "bug" more menacing to our general happiness and welfare today than the "divorcitis" germ. It is a disease that may easily become epidemic. It has already become a cancer in our national life. Meeting this situation taxes the ingenuity and patience of those having authority to untie marital knots, but who would far rather discover just why the knots were slipping and apply some remedies. Personal cleanliness and tidiness is one thing that must be given consideration. Untidiness in personal appearance is inexcusable. If there are any divorce germs left—consult a lawyer! But only then! Tentative Attitude of Women Toward Their Jobs Suggests Instability. I think the woman in business who gives up one particle of her feminism is throwing away just that much chance of success. Even greater will be her mistake to trade upon her sex. Concentration is what the business woman needs who would be successful, greater concentration upon her work to the exclusion of a thousand things that distract the feminine mind. The tentative attitude of women toward their jobs has given employers an impression of feminine unstability. It has kept women's wages below men's. I do not believe women will find aping of masculine mannerisms and clothes an aid to success. An exquisite feminine personality is unique and an asset. THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.

British America, which consists of Canada, Newfoundland and a number of islands, has an area of 3,750,000 square miles, while the total area of the United States and its possessions is 3,743,446 square miles. Thus Britain has a little more territory, but it is largely so far north as to be of comparatively little value.

Our people are alive to our opportunity and are steady and thrifty. The physicians are of the first class and give excellent service. Our citizens have no complaint to make regarding medical service. The physicians respond to each call and are promptly paid for service. Because of racial reason we will prefer a colored physician, a colored dentist and pharmacist.

Belgium Sketches The Refugee By Katharine Eggleston Roberts Mathilda van Struren tucked the blanket about her three sleeping children and, for a moment, regarded the tousled little heads. Maybe if the bedclothes had been clean, she would have noticed how dirty the children's faces were and washed them. But she only pulled the soiled blanket up to the small, grimy chins and left dirt, the harmonizer of all things, undisturbed. Across the room was another cot, its coverings heaped in the midst of it as they had been left in the morning. She started toward it, stopped halfway, then pushing some newspapers from a chair, sat down and duly regarded her husband. He was writing at a small table, the top of which was clear save for a pile of neatly written pages. The flickering light from the lamp on the cluttered dinner table near him emphasized the sharpness of his ascetic features and deepened the shadows under his eyes. Mathilda's gaze followed the movement of the pen in his long slender fingers. "I don't see why you go on with that writing, Andre. You'll never get anywhere with it now. The war spoiled every chance anybody had at everything." "No, not everything." Then as he looked up the light in his face clouded. "It spoiled just about everything, though." he admitted. "Mathilda, can't you clean things up a little around here? Somehow it wouldn't seem so crowded if everything weren't so strewn about, and dirty." Mathilda pushed her hair out of her eyes. "I's pose I could, but why bother? Cook, eat, sleep in one room anyway. It just gets mussed up again. We used to be someone when you were lecturing in the college. Now the college is gone, the town is gone, you're just a refugee like a lot of other Belgians, only you don't know how to dig so well. We used to have a nice house, now we have a shack. What's the use of trying to do anything anyway? I don't care." Her P Why Interest in Everything Had Been Lost. voice dragged through the sentences as she dragged through each day, indifferently, without any particular feeling. "But it's our own shack—at least we aren't living in a regular refugee's home. And as soon as the town builds up, it will need a school, and maybe I can get the work I know how to do. Of course, there's Verbeek next door. He used to teach, too, but the people here know me better than they do him." He paused. "Uh-huh." His wife shook out the bedclothes and crawled under them. Andre turned back to his writing but the clear thoughts would not come. They were stained by the touch established here. So charge of it. We the We're going to get so and one will be seale "Yes, yes, that is it meau took up the spe you might like to be Andre van Straeler had assured them that to be considered, and fully made their way in the road they stop of them indicated house.

He put the papers in a flat box in the drawer of his table and sat looking into space. No, he didn't imagine he could ever do anything with his book. That wasn't why he worked on it each evening. It was only because there was consolation in filling the clean white pages with thoughts he could no longer speak aloud. Only to Mathilda could he ever have told them and now —well, she would just look the other way and answer an uncomprehending "uh-huh" that stabbed him to silence. What had happened to her? With their money, not only her self-respect but her whole self had gone. Why couldn't she keep their little house tidy? Why wouldn't she keep his children clean? Leonie was eight and the twins six. They were old enough to know how to behave to people. Why wouldn't she teach them? Poor little youngsters—huddled together in that dirty bed! He rose and went to the window. There was a light in Verbeek's cottage. Suddenly his mind pictured the interior. His home should be like that. They had exactly the same things but their dishes shone on the cupboard shelves, their beds were always made when he called, and the children had excellent manners. They were well washed, too. They looked healthier and happier than his little ones. Was the difference his fault? Surely not—he and Verbeek were in the same positions—they did the same things. But Madame Verbeek did not say "why bother." It was true she worked all day long to keep things going and make ends meet. She did it because she had not lost her pride and it was the work that kept her from losing herself. Mathilda—but he must not think that way. He began to prepare for bed. Though the lamp was burning low, he could still see his wife as she lay asleep. She had been pretty once, but now somehow her face had changed, the skin was sallow, the expression different—that was it—the expression. She had not taken down her hair; wfsps of it made a ragged fringe about her forehead and neck. Hairpins stuck out at grotesque angles. He wished she would brush it as she used to do. The bed—he turned out the lamp and finished undressing in the dark and took his place beside her. It was ensler so. It was toward dusk one evening after he had come home from work that Leonie answered a rap at the door. "Yes, he's here," she said, holding the door half shut. "Who is it? Ask them in," commanded Andre, and hurried across the room. He gave the priest his chair. Matilda removed some dishes from the other one, wiped it with her apron, and gave it to Monsieur Rameau. The third man sat gingerly upon the edge of the bed. "We've come to ask you—to ask—" his gazed roamed about the littered room and he paused. The priest's kindly voice began. "Yes—we've come—a school is to be THE STUDENTS' HALL established here. Some one must take charge of it. We thought you might. We're going to get several candidates and one will be selected." "Yes, yes, that is it." Monsieur Rameau took up the speech. "We thought you might like to be a candidate." Andre van Straelen, thanking them, had assured them that he was anxious to be considered, and they had carefully made their way to the door. Out in the road they stopped to talk. One of them indicated the neighboring house. The others nodded slowly and they went to call on Karel Verbeek. It was then that Andre realized, his house, their stammering embarrassment and exchange of glances, their indecision and their consultation in the road after they had left—all meant one thing. There had been no idea of candidates; they had intended to give him the position till they saw how he lived, how his house was kept. Then they had taken the kindest way out of the situation. He was not surprised to hear the next day that Verbeek was appointed, but, for a long time, he could not make himself go home. When he finally did open his door it was very late. Mathilda was asleep. He awakened her, "Verbeek was elected." "Uh-huh." She closed her eyes again, apparently uninterested. "Do you know why?" demanded Andre almost fiercely. "It was because—" But she had gone back to sleep—she had not cared. He stood stiffly, starling down at her, his fists clenched till the knuckles were white, his teeth set. He hated the injustice of circumstance; he hated this squallid room; he hated his— Then something in him let go and, instead of hate, a wave of pity and tenderness for her as she used to be swept through him. He relaxed and, as he sat down at his table and took out the clean, white sheets of paper, he looked over at his wife. His dark eyes were full of compassion. "After all," he thought. "she isn't to blame and it must be dreadful. terrible, to have lost one's self." And he began to write. --- HAS FINE TRAITS Animal Trainer Reveca's Facts About Elephant. Says the Brute Is Both Tender and Af- fectionate, Though He Will Hold An elephant lives to a great age and comes to maturity slowly, and is not full-grown until from thirty-five to forty years old. It is a mistake to think an elephant is clumsy because he looks so. In proportion to its size an elephant is much lighter on its feet than a horse, and can outrun most horses for a short distance, and there is no one of an elephant's four feet that he cannot strike or kick quickly and accurately with. An elephant can stand considerable cold if he is kept moving. I have taken elephants in Bridgeport, fitted bags over their ears and tails and worked them up to their bellies in the snow pushing cars without its doing them any harm. On the other hand, I lost a fine elephant once as a result of exposure to the cold, writes George Conklin in the Saturday Evening Post. The elephant is the most affectionate of animals and will watch over and protect a favorite keeper, and he will also hold a grudge against one for some time, watching for an opportunity to get even with him. But I do not believe those popular stories of elephants that have remembered being cheated by strangers and squirting water over them when they had an opportunity after the lapse of years. An angry elephant, however, is a dangerous thing, and an elephant keeper who is rough is always running a risk. A cross elephant is usually made so by the keeper. Some men are naturally cruel and are willing to do anything to satisfy their desire to show off. This is apt to be a fault of new men around elephants. I knew of the case of a fellow called Bayou Bill, who with the Jerry Mable show. An elephant put her trunk round his shoulders, pulled him off his horse and before anyone could prevent she put one of her feet on his legs, pulled him in two and threw the pieces over her back. I have also known many instances of men being squeezed to death between a wall and an elephant's head or under its foot. But from a keeper or trainer who treats them properly an elephant will accept punishment, and when it has given In the man can do almost anything with it and the animal will not lay it up against him. In spite of its great size the elephant is quite timid. A strange animal or an unfamiliar noise will start him in a panic. Once Tody Hamilton, the Barnum & Bailey press agent, had me demonstrate to a group of New York reporters how easy it was to frighten an elephant. It was at the winter quarters in Bridgeport. We had at the time some two or three dozen elephants, and I let a pig loose among them. There was a commotion at once. They snorted and squealed and kicked—and, by the way, they can use their hind legs like gatling guns. I also put some rats in among them, and they were just as afraid of them. If they had not been well chained the whole hunch would have run away. Elephants are driven from the near, or left, side, like oxen. The driver tells them to shy when he wants them to go to the right and says "come in" to bring them toward him. "Mile" means to go fast; "mule up" to trot, and when he wants them to stop the driver calls out "tut." Misinterpreting His Motive. At about three o'clock one morning—according to Toby, M. P.—Mr. T. P. O'Connor was orating in the house of commons to 12 or 15 members lying about in various stages of drowsiness. Sir Patrick O'Brien was amongst them, and, now and then rescuing himself with a start from falling asleep, audibly engaged in conversation. "I protest against this disorderly conduct!" exclaimed Mr. O'Connor, at length. "The honorable baronet is constantly interrupting me." "Sir," replied Sir Patrick, with a graceful how, "the honorable gentleman misinterprets my motive. I interrupted, it is true;' but it was with the intention of waking the honorable gentleman's audience." — Pearson's Weekly. Introductions "I want to have a bill introduced in congress—" began the emphatic citizen. "All right," replied Senator Sorghum, "But I can tell you in advance that introducing a bill in congress is like any other kind of an introduction.

NATIONAL CAPITAL AFFAIRS Sugar Grows on Fir Trees, but at $66 a Pound WASHINGTON.—Announcement is made by the American Forestry association of the phenomenon of sugar growing on fir trees in the province of British Columbia and in the eastern part of the state of Washington. This Shutt, dominion chemist, Ottawa, Canada, and by the bureau of chemistry here in Washington, are of great interest because of the high degree of constancy of composition the fir sugar, or manna, showed," continues the announcement. "A letter from the Madison laboratory states that the manna from Douglas fir contains about 50 per cent of a sugar known as melezitose, which in small quantities is selling at $66 a pound. "The sugar appears in white masses of different sizes, ranging from a quarter of an inch to two inches in diameter. The smaller masses form like white drops at the tips of single leaves. At times several of the leaf tips are imbedded in a larger drop. Masses of greater size scatter over the leaves and branches." The sugar is exceedingly sweet, giving a flavor comparable to the highest class of the manufactured article. Legislators Yearning for Captured German Cannon REPRESENTATIVE Bee of Texas busled himself the other day in the house about captured German cannon. Kahn of California, chairman of the military affairs committee had the floor. Questions and answers went about like this: we might know approximately how many of each class of ordnance we would have for distribution. Mr. Bee. Mr. Speaker, let me ask the gentleman a further question. Are those cannon and machine guns in the United States, or are they still in France subject to transportation? Mr. Kahn. As I understand, relatively few are in this country. Mr. Bee. The gentleman has no present hope, then, of fulfilling his promise? Mr. Kahn. Oh, I think that in the course of a few months we may be able to get the information, and it is the intention of the committee to pass general legislation upon the subject so that every member of the house will have an opportunity to get some of these very desirable trophies for his district. Mr. Bee. Will there be one cannon for each member or will they be able to get one for each county in his district? Mr. Kahn. I am told there are about 4,000 counties in the various states. The latest figures that I get about cannon seem to show that we have about 1,300 captured heavy large-caliber guns. But we have 4,000 heavy machine guns that can be distributed, so that there is hope of getting something for the members of the house for their constituencies. North American Indian Division: Clear the Way! ORGANIZATION of one or more full divisions of Indian troops as a part of the reorganized army and to be known as the North American Indian division or divisions, is pending in congress as part of the army reorganization the One Hundred and Sixty-fifth infantry, or old Sixty-ninth New York, which received heavy Indian replacements to fill the gaps produced in its ranks by fighting on the Marne. But the redskins served in many other units and in practically all services. Dr. J. K. Dixon declared that after visiting numerous camps and hospitals, all "officers interviewed, from the commanding officer to the corporal or petty officer, who have had Indians under their command, with one accord render universal and enthusiastic commendation of the brilliance, the stability, the amoebability to discipline, the heroism and valor of the Indian as a fighting force in our American army and navy." Doctor Fixon's plan proposes the establishment of permanent regimental or battalion headquarters on or near important reservations, a system of schools on or near reservations for the purpose of preparing Indian youths for a military career and duties of citizenship, and a higher school, to be known as the Indian West Point, for instructing Indians in the duties of noncommissioned officers. The army service would make the Indian a full citizen. Goodness! How Department Employees Do Count Up Goodness! How Department Employees Do Count Up THE city of Washington, capital of the nation, has a population of 437,414, according to the first returns of the 1920 census made public, an increase of 106,345 since 1910. The war has been largely responsible for Washington's increase, which is generally regarded as permanent, it having been estimated in 1918 that the war-time population of the capital had passed the half-million mark. The present figure, it is believed by experts, represents permanent growth. In 1916 the census estimate for Washington was 363,980 and for Cincinnati 410,476. For Cincinnati, therefore, the census shows a falling off of 9,000 since 1916, while Washington shows a gain over the estimate of 73,434: Cincinnati's population, according to the 1919 census, was 363,591, the population gain according to the figures of 1920 being only 37.567. population gain according to the figures of 1920 being only 37,567.

More important than this increase, however, in the minds of patriotic Washingtonians is the fact that Washington passed Cincinnati in population, the new population figures for the Ohio city given out simultaneously being 401,158. In 1910 Cincinnati was the thirteenth American city and Washington ranked sixteenth. Of course the numerical rank of cities cannot be known until all the returns are in. The war has been largely responsible for Washington's increase, which having been estimated in 1918 that the passed the half-million mark. The pr represents permanent growth.

"In the heart of British Columbia the Indians still gather the sugar as before the white man came," says the American Forestry Magazine, "and it is further remarkable that so long a time elapsed before it attracted scientific attention.

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."

MORAL—ADVERTISE --- ADEQUATE RUNNING-WATER SYSTEM STILL LACKING IN MAJORITY OF COUNTRY HOMES THE WASHING TABLE Dish Washing Is Not Drudgery When Housekeeper Has a Sink Like This. (Prepared by the United States Depart- dulic rams, pumps, air lifts or an aliment of Agriculture.) There is no one thing that would make easier the farm woman's work than to have water power in the house. The nature of her duties demands an early rising and a late retiring; but the countless steps in carrying water and emptying water; carrying parings and vegetables and unused fruits to the pails for the pigs; carrying many times a day fresh water for the fowls; carrying, heating, emptying tubs for the bath, for the laundry, for the cooking, canning, and preserving, could be lessened if her home had running water in it. Give her water and she can work out the rest of her problems. Her garden, her orchards, her fowls, her dairy, her lawn, fill up hours which city people do not need to use. She will have more time for reading and be less of a drudge if she can but have a perfected system of water-works. Several years ago the department of agriculture sent out an inquiry to thousands of farm women asking what their homes most needed. One of the letters in reply contained the quoted extract, and in it it is voiced the thought found in hundreds of other letters. An adequate water supply is needed even more by the farm woman than by her city sister, but because this convenience and necessity must come in the country through individual effort rather than municipal, few farm homes have it. In a survey made in 1918 in 26 northern states it was found that but 33 per cent of the farm homes had running water in them. Lack of knowledge as to what water system to install rather than lack of means in many homes is the reason why the women doing the work in it are still pumping and carrying water. Kinds of Systems. The water system on the farm home may be simple or elaborate, according to the investment the owner is able to make, United States department of agriculture rural engineers say. For a country-home water system, the water may be raised by natural flow, hy- GOVERNMENT WARNS AGAINST SACCHARIN GOVERNMENT WARNS AGAINST SACCHARIN Use of Substance in Place of Sugar Is Condemned. Many Housewives Do Not Understand That Drug Is Serious Menace to Health—Majority of States Prohibit Its Use. The use of saccharin in place of sugar, which many housewives are being tempted to resort to in these days of sugar shortage, may involve menace to the health, and therefore is to be condemned, according to specialists in the bureau of chemistry of the United States department of agriculture. In most cases housewives have turned to this substance in their emergency because they do not understand that saccharin is a harmful drug; to consider it a harmless, healthful substitute for sugar is absolutely false, say the government's chemists. The department of agriculture has received a number of inquiries from housewives concerning the properties of saccharin, and in every case it has answered by condemning the use of the drug for cooking purposes. It calls attention to the fact that the bureau of chemistry is now aiding in the prosecution of a large St. Louis concern, which makes saccharin, for violation of the Food and Drug act. "The attempt to exploit the shortage of sugar and create a demand for saccharin for use in place of sugar endeavors to capitalize the public's lack of knowledge of the properties of this substance, and the bureau of chemistry feels called upon to reiterate the warnings which it has given repeatedly in its publications." said Carl L. Alsberg, chief of the bureau, who cites his testimony before a subcommittee of the senate's committee on agriculture on this same subject, as showing the extent of the present menace due ```markdown ``` draulic rams, pumps, air lifts or air displacement pumps. Hydraulic rams are the most economical water-lifting devices. Since rams of various sizes and makes perform differently, it usually is necessary to accept the mechanical details determined by the manufacturer. The minimum, never more than the average, flow of the spring should determine the size of the ram. Otherwise, the one selected may be too large for the dry-weather flow. Small flows may be determined by noting the time required to fill a vessel of known capacity. Larger flows may be determined by weir measurements. When the water supply is far from the 'am site, it is usual to pipe the flow to an open tank or reservoir located so as to secure the desired length and fall of drive pipe. Sometimes the flow of a spring is too small to actuate a ram that is sufficient for domestic requirements. In such instances and where a nearby brook can be dammed to obtain the necessary power head, the recoil of the ram may be employed to admit the spring water, which is pumped by the fall of the brook water in the drive pipe. Horsepower Needed. Water may be raised by hand, windmill, hydraulic rams, steam, hot air, gas, internal-combustion engines, or electric motors. Hand power is unsuited to large supplies of high lifts. Windmills are probably the most familiar type of mechanical power and often are arranged to start and stop automatically. Gasoline and oil engines are well adapted to farm pumping and may be equipped to stop at any desired pressure in a supply tank. The use of electricity for pumping is increasing. The method is clean, quiet and convenient, and starting or stopping a distant pump by throwing a switch may be practical wherever transmission lines are sufficiently near. The whole question of water in the farm home is discussed in Farmers' Bulletin No. 941, which will be sent free on request to the United States department of agriculture. to the public's not being properly informed. "The department regards the use of saccharin in food as a menace to health," says Dr. Alsberg. "This is the position of the department today, as it was in 1911, when official decisions were rendered. There has been no scientific evidence adduced on the basis of which the department would be justified in any manner in altering its position. "The department regards food to which saccharin has been added as adulterated, since a substance has been added to the food which may render it deleterious to health. It also regards it as adulterated in that a substance of no food value whatever has been substituted for sugar, a very valuable food. The department has now pending a criminal prosecution against one concern for the shipment interstate of a parcel of saccharin labeled as harmless. Furthermore, a majority of the states prohibit the use of saccharin in food, either by statute or by regulation." All Around the House Cayenne pepper should be used sparingly, as it affects the liver. A few vanilla beans kept in the sugar box impart a delicious flavor to sugar. Left-over fruits, whether fresh or canned, may be used in delicious gelatin salads. Wear goggles when, using cleaning fluids—like ammonia—which give irritating fumes. To get the real, full flavor of mustard, it should be mixed with salad oil only. Vinegar, if rubbed first on discolored steel work, ensures a quick and easy polish.

It is the mind that makes the man and our vigor is our immortal soul.— Ovid. "Tis the dessert that graces all the feast, For an ill end disparages all the rest." TIMELY DESSERTS. For the early spring months, having tired of the heavy, rich desserts A VARIETY OF SALADS. Any meal, after breakfast, will be the better rounded out for a salad. which have been popular, we turn to lighter and more easily digested dishes. As ple is the always popular dessert, if one can serve it with one crust. Baking daintily arranged and garnished, served with a new dressing or garnish or a dish of different seasoning. Red Cabbage and Chestnut Salad. — Take two cupfuls of boiled, blanched chestnuts finely chopped, two cupfuls of boiled red cabbage; sprinkle with one-half half of the indigestible (to some) pastry is avoided. Lemon, custard, cream and chocolate fillings are all good. The following will be found less common, but very well liked: Take one gulpful of any canned fruit, such as cherries, currants, pineapple, strawberries or raspberries, which have been crushed and canned uncooked, with an equal quantity of sugar: add a table-spoonful of water with one of flour, mix well, add the yolk of one egg and cook the filling until smooth. Fill a baked shell, and when cool, cover with a meringue made of the white of the egg. Place a few marshmallows cut up or whole over the top to add to the appearance. Put into the oven and brown. cupful of raisins. Serve with. French dressing, to which a teaspoonful of sugar has been added to every half-cupful of dressing. This is especially good when green salad plants are scarce, as it needs no green foundation. Beet With Celery Salad.—Bell or bake large beets, skin and cut the bottoms so they will set firmly on a plate. Carefully take out the centers, leaving the shells. Marinate for an hour in French dressing. Have ready chopped celery; mixed with mayonnaise; drain the beet cups, fill with the celery mixture and garnish with sprigs of parsley. Serve on a lettuce leaf. Any desired filling may be used. Chopped Bermuda or Spanish onion and cucumber is especially good. Hot Water Ginger Bread.—Take one cupful of sugar, one egg, salt, one half cupful of melted shortening, a tablespoonful of ginger, one cupful of molasses, and three cupfuls of flour mix well and add just at the last one cupful of boiling water in which has been dissolved a teaspoonful of soda. Bake 40 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve hot with whipped cream or apple sauce for dessert. Butterfly Salad.—Arrange slices of pineapple cut in halves on head lettuce, the curved side toward the center, leaving a small space between in which to put a long piece of green pepper to simulate the body of the butterfly, the pineapple the wings. Make a head with a green grape, peeled, and feelers of fine strips of green pepper. Decorate the wings with sliced stuffed olives, and pass the dressing when ready to serve. Caramel Cornstarch Pudding.—Take two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch; mix and cook with one pint of milk. Put three-fourths of a cupful of sugar in a smooth frying pan, melt and stir until dissolved and a golden brown, then stir in the boiling hot cornstarch mixture. Stir until all the sugar is well blended with the pudding; add a pinch of salt, and serve in sherbet cups with whipped cream. Fruit Salad.—Take grapefruit and carefully remove the membrane, leaving the fruit in sections. Prepare an orange in the same way. Make a nest of lettuce and arrange the sections of grapefruit with a section of orange between, until it keeps its shape in a semicircle. Red apples cut in thin sections, leaving the peeling on, are often used to add color between the sections. Arrange a spoonful of mayonnaise where it will not disturb the color scheme, or pass the dressing. Dainty Dessert.—Take the white of one egg and half a glassful of any tart jelly. Whip until stiff and it will stand alone. It will take about 20 minutes. Serve with a thin custard. Fruit Sherbet.—Take the juice of three oranges and one lemon, with a bit of the rind cooked in two cupfuls of honey; add a quart of rich milk or thin cream and freeze. Chicken and Pineapple Salad. On heart leaves of lettuce place a slice of pineapple; on this a half cupful of cooked chicken cut fine; over this spread mayonnaise and decorate with strips of pimento. We never know the true value of friends. While they live we are too sensitive to their faults; when we have some think only of their virtues. -Hare SALADS OF SPECIAL DISTINCTION Contentment Hies not in the enjoyment of ease—a life of luxury—but comes only to him that labors and overcomes—to him that performs the task in hand reaps the satisfaction of work well done.—Wilde. For those who are fond of coconut this salad will strongly appeal: Benares Salad. —Take two cupfuls of fresh grated coconut, two tart apples, finely cubed, one half cupful of chopped celery, two tablespoon- PINEAPPLE HONEY DISHES. "If you would have honey you must have money" these days, for honey is keeping up with the present price of sugar. In making a lemon pie use one cupful of honey with the juice and rind of a lemon, two tablespoonfuls of ICE CREAM fuls of grated onion, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley and a dash of red pepper. Serve with French dressing. Use strips of red pepper for garnishing. Spring Salad.—Slice crisp red radishes in thin slices, add slices of small green onions and a little chopped green pepper. Serve on etuce with mayonnaise dressing. flour, a bit of salt, half a cupful of cold water and the beaten yolks of two eggs. Cook until smooth; add a teaspoonful of butter and fill a baked crust. Cover with a meringue prepared with the two whites, beaten stiff. Brown in a moderate oven. Banana Candles.—For a dainty salad to delight the hearts of children at a child's party these are simple to prepare. Place a slice of pineapple on a paper dolly, placed on a salad plate. Enlarge the hole slightly to insert half of a banana so that it will stand upright, the small end at the top. Use small bananas and dip them in lemon juice after peeling to keep them from discoloring. In the top insert a small cherry to simulate the flame of the candle and make a handle of angelica cut in strips and inserted in a loop at the side of the pineapple. A strip of green pepper or a strip of orange or lemon peel may be used if the angelica cannot be obtained. Boiled Honey Custard—Take two cupfuls of milk, the yolks of three eggs, half a cupful of honey and a pinch of salt. Scald the milk and pour over the eggs and honey. Cook in a double boiler till the mixture thickens. Honey Pudding—Take half a cupful of honey, one cupful of bread crumbs, half a cupful of milk, the grated rind of half a lemon, two tablespoonfuls of butter, two eggs and half a teaspoonful of ginger. Mix the honey and bread crumbs; add the milk, seasonings and the yolks of eggs. Beat thoroughly and add the butter and whites of eggs, well beaten. Steam for two hours in a pudding mold Lettuce Salad With Egg Garnish. Cut crisp head lettuce in quarters; let stand in cold water for half an hour. Drain and shake dry. Take some hard-cooked eggs, put the yolks through a sieve and chop the whites very fine. Over the lettuce pour some highly seasoned French dressing and sprinkle with the whites, then the yolks. This is a very pretty salad for a yellow luncheon. Almost any frozen dish will have a smoother, more velvety texture and will not melt so readily if honey is used for sweetening instead of sugar. Honey Mousse.—Beat one cupful of honey and pour slowly over the well-beaten yolks of four eggs. Cook until the mixture thickens and when cool add a pint of cream, whipped. Flavor with any delicate flavoring and pour the mixture into a mold; pack in ice and salt and let stand three or four hours. Pear Salad.—Set half a canned pear on two or three heart leaves of lettuce. Sprinkle with eight or ten cubes of Neufchatel cheese and half as many strips of pimento. Take one cupful of double cream, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, four tablespoonfuls of the pear sirup, one fourth teaspoonful of salt and four tablespoonfuls of honey. Beat $v^{+}$ all light. Use as salad dressing. In the making of many dishes in which sugar is used honey takes the place of an equal amount of sugar; but the liquid in the recipe will need to be cut down one-third. The flavor of good honey combines well with spices and flavorings commonly used.

They proved very graceful and becoming and exceeded coats in elegance, even when coats were made of the same materials. They grew in popularity and it followed that wraps for wear at the Southern resorts and for evening or formal afternoon dress in the spring have been designed on the same lines. At the resorts capes in both quiet and lively colors and of many kinds of materials are noticeable on women who dress with distinction. Some of them refuse to dispense with fur in collars or bands and one may see capes of duvetyn in dark orchid or purple tones with marten collars, or of deep-rose color embroidered in gray with gray squirrel collar. Satin in heavy quality appears in turquoise, in white and in black lined with a color.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN TAILORED FOR 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. ECEPT for the first three months in periods of mourning, crape is used sparingly in mourning millinery. It has been replaced by the several kinds of silk that are used for making the exquisitely neat hats that are approved for this special kind of headwear. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Georgette and mallines, with silk nets, are to be counted among available silks, besides the varieties that are manufactured especially for mourning wear. The last is the best-liked by designers when they are required to make tailored hats. Very little trimming finds place on these tailored hats, and such ornaments as are used, are oftenest made of the same silk as the hat, or of faille or grosgrain ribbon. Both in making hats and trimming, intricate and perfect workmanship is at a premium. Graceful shapes, conservative in lines and size are the correct beginning for all mourning millinery. The group of three silk hats shown in the picture above may be taken as criterions by which to measure up similar hats. LABORING MASSES Each of these shapes has a brim that velvets, as henna, sapphire and king's blue, make up superb wraps in which the brocade forms a deep yoke and the velvet a cape which is gathered to the yoke. The satin cape which is shown here is a type that portrays the favored lines of these wraps. Any appropriate color may be chosen for this remarkably well-designed garment. It has a deep fitted yoke supporting a huge puff of satin, which is substituted for the usual fur collar. The lower part of the wrap is very full and gathered onto the yoke. The lining is not so full and allows the bottom edge of the cape to be gathered into a little fullness and turned under. Very wide black velvet ribbon tacked to the base of the yoke and finished with a loop and ends at the front, makes a sparkling contrast with the light satin and a wonderful finishing touch. Occasionally one sees a cape of black moire made with a deep yoke and the yoke ornamented with three bands of narrow velvet ribbon. Black satin capes are always dependable and always worn. HATS MOURNING is wide enough to support a vell conveniently to protect the eyes. A good many smart mourning hats are faced with white and in one of these, white georgette, on the underbrim, proves more becoming than black, and an upstanding flange covered with grosgrain ribbon and a plaited rosette made of it provide the trimming. The hat at the left has its crown neatly covered with bias folds and a plain brim. A very clever trimming is made of narrow grosgrain ribbon twisted and arranged in two loops that look like two leaves, and ends that simulate stems. The last hat has a plain covering of silk and is draped with irregular folds and wings of silk at the sides. Julia Bottomly Table Linen.
