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 Will United States Acquire West Indies? Suggestion That Great Britain Relinquish Island Possessions In Payment of War Debt to America Has Reached Stage of General Debate----Raises Important Question VOL. XXVI. Will United Acquire Suggestion That Great Britain In Payment of War Debt Stage of General Important Chicago, Ill., March 16.—One of the most important expressions concerning eradication of American prejudice and indifference that has ever been made comes from the Chicago Journal, the latest publication in the city, and demi- in politics. It is under the cap- of "An International Aspect of living" and affords a lesson for America that cannot be overlooked. he suggestion that Great Britain quish her West Indian islands and the Bermudas to the United States," says the Journal, "as part payment of the British debt to this country has reached the stage of general debate. It must be added that up to date one of the basic questions involved has not been mentioned by the debaters. "Neither Britain nor the United States is going to transfer populations from one sovereignty to the other without their consent. In the case of the islands mentioned, will that consent be given? "A heavy majority of all these islanders are wholly or partly of African descent. In Jamaica the whites form only 1 per cent of the population, and although they are somewhat more numerous in the Bermudas, they are still in a minority. The Bahamas, likewise, show a heavy preponderance of blacks. "Under the British flag these islanders have a social position higher than the people of their race enjoy in the United States. They have something much more important, absolute legal equality, and constant, competent protection from the law. There are no lynchings in the British West Indies. There are no race riots, though something more than a generation ago there was a disturbance in Jamaica which the governor suppressed with considerable severity. "Meanwhile, in the first six months of 1919, the last period for which authoritative figures can be had, twenty-five Negroes were lynched in the United States. Only seven of these were even charged with assaults on women. Year by year, lawless violence of this sort goes on, and at irregular intervals came race riots like those of Springfield, East St. Louis and Chicago. "Will the colored populations of the British West Indies vote to leave their present security and join a country where members of their race are treated in this fashion? It seems doubtful. The islands are natural appanages of the North American continent. Under ordinary circumstances they would gravitate into some sort of affiliation with or allegiance to the United States. But between them and their natural tendencies and interests the lynchers and race rioters of this country have placed a barrier which may well prove to be impassable." WOULD AVERT CHICAGO RACE RIOT. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that telegrams had been sent to Governor Lowden of Illinois and to Mayor Thompson of Chicago, urging that all possible steps be taken to avert threatened race friction in Chicago. The telegrams report bombing of Negro residences and a determination on the part of colored people to defend their homes and their families. The text of the telegram is as follows: March 16, 1920. Reports from various sources to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People inform us that residences of Negroes are being bombed in Chicago and that a feeling of dangerous bitterness is growing up in consequence among the colored people who are determined to defend their homes and their families. Mindful of the costly disaster which overtook Chicago in July, 1919, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People urges that every possible step be taken to maintain peace and order before violence again disgraces an American city. JOHN R. SHILLADY, FOR NEW EPOCH IN RACE RELATIONS. Governor of Georgia and Mayor of Atlanta to Address National Association for Advancement of Colored People. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People today announced that its eleventh annual conference would be held in Atlanta, Ga., from May 30th to June 2nd, and that Hugh M. Dcrsey, governor of Georgia, and James L. Key, mayor of Atlanta, would speak at the meetings. Governor Edwin P. Morrow of Kentucky has also been invited to address the conference. This is the first time that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held its conference in the South, according to the announcement at the headquarters, 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, Atlanta having been selected, it was stated, upon invitation extended by Governor Dorsey, Mayor Key, the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Atlanta churches. "It is hoped," the statement continues, "that this conference may contribute to more cordial co-operation between white and colored people in all that makes for a better America, to a better understanding among white people of the aspirations of Negro citizens and to clearing the way for elimination of the causes of race friction. "The fact that the governor of Georgia and mayor of Atlanta have signified their willingness to take part in the conference is a good omen for increasing co-operation between white men and colored men in solving race problems." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 27, 1920 TRIUMPHANT TOUR OF WEST BY MRS. MARY B. TALBERT, PRESIDENT, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS. SELDOM it is that we Denverites have the pleasure and gratification of seeing and hearing the really great women of our race who are doing things in this little old world of ours, but on last Monday evening Old Shorter A. M. E. church was packed and jammed with an eager, enthusiastic and appreciative audience to hear Mrs. Talbert of Buffalo, N. Y., deliver her famous address, "The Negro's Right to World Citizenship." After hearing this wonderful and eloquent woman in her forceful denunciation of the wrongs and injustices against a worthy and loyal race and her masterful plea for a fulfillment of that world democracy for which our boys so bravely fought and bled and our women worked, starved and sacrificed, we were remarkably reminded of the late Frederick Douglass when he, too, was arousing the nation against that inhuman and cruel institution—slavery. MRS. MARY B. TALBERT. Mrs. Talbert was cheered to the echo when in her powerful speech she recited the deeds of valor of our boys in France, and then when she finished the recital of the brutal treatment of herself and Mrs. Curtis at the hands of American white officers and how these same officers treated our boys more cruel than German prisoners the audience wept and a sad silence pervaded the entire church. Truly, Mrs. Talbert is not only one of the great women of America, but of the world. Fearless, able and loyal, she is devoting her life in helping to uproot that poisonous prejudice that exists in this country against her race because of color. In her swing around the country she spoke in San Diego, Cal., at the White Baptist Temple to an audience of perhaps 8,000 people, and to as large an audience there before the N. A. A. C. P., white and colored. At Portland, Ore., she addressed the faculty and students of Reed College and delivered the sermon at vespers on Sunday morning. She also spoke before the Presidents' Council of White Women's Clubs and the Parent-Teachers' Association at the Lincoln High school. In Spokane, Wash., she addressed the Chamber of Commerce, and at her table sat the adjutant general of the state and two brigadier generals of the U. S. army—and they were told some things at that dinner. At Yakima, Helena and Billings she was heard by large audiences and received with marked distinction. When we see and hear this great woman of courage pounding down the great barrier of prejudice against the race, we are amazed at her power and eloquence and logic, and look around about us and ask, "Where are the men? What are they doing?" Mrs. Talbert left Denver Tuesday evening for Lincoln, Neb., where she will speak in the Temple Theater, after which a banquet will be tendered in her honor by the citizens. Come again, Mrs. Talbert WOOD "LOGICAL" CANDIDATE FOR COLORED AMERICANS By Edgar C. Brown. Indianapolis, Indiana, March 23. Among the rank and file of the people the question is being asked: "How can we support anyone but Leonard Wood? He is right on the race question—as was said in the motion made before the colored voters of Indiana assembled in Indianapolis by Attorney Tidrington, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, and seconded by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney Robt. L. Brokenburr, "We the colored voters of Indiana, are for General Wood first, last and all the time primarily because he has the courage to champion the rights of truly 100 per cent American citizens, the American Negroes." Mr. Tidrington headed the delegation from Indiana to the Lincoln League and was one of those present who had had a chance to compare Governor Lowden and General Wood. It is significant that Mr. Tidrington pointed out that what we need today is a military man to stamp out mob violence and lynching and a man whose words are respected like Theodore Roosevelt and the good general's own words at Gary, and Omaha, when he said, "The rights of all must be protected." And now following the rejection of Governor Lowden by the colored Republicans of Missouri, assembled in St. Louis because of his attitude toward the East St. Louis riot and his misleading statements at the Chicago riot, the colored Republicans in Ohio have taken up arms against Senator Harding under the fearless leadership of Honorable Ralph Tyler, because he refused to recognize 150,000 colored voters by refusing them a delegate to the Chicago convention and Senator Harding returned last week from Texas, where he went on the invitation of the "illy whites." General Wood, true to his record, left a place open for a colored delegate. Here is General Wood's statement, "I know no American by his color." "A vote for Wood means a vote for the race," was adopted for the Indiana slogan at the primaries. SOUTHERN BLACKSMITH ACCU MULATED $100,000 IN FORTY YEARS. Anderson, S. C., March 17.—Report comes of the death of David Dooley, a colored blacksmith of Anderson, S. C., who "in forty years of labor accumulated a fortune conservatively estimated at $100,000." The career of this "highly respected and esteemed citizen" of color in a southern town is worth the consideration of the Bolshevists. CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS (By Clarence J. Toliver.) THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People 70 Fifth avenue, New York, announces that a questionnaire has been sent to every man prominently mentioned as a presidential possibility, asking him to state his views on a program for bettering race relations in the United States. The replies art to be published in the Negro press throughout the country. The questionnaire asks each aspirant his attitude regarding seven of our chief civil grievances. We quote extracts from a speech delivered by James Boyle O'Reilly on Monday evening, December 7, 1885, at a meeting of the Massachusetts Colored League. Mr. O'Reilly, since deceased, was speaker of the evening. His subject was, The Negro-American. In part he said: "I don't care what your political preferences or parties are. I don't care whether you vote the Republican or Democratic ticket, but I know that if I were a colored man I should use parties as I would a club—to break down prejudices against my people. I shouldn't talk about being true to any party, except so far as that party was true to me. Parties care nothing for you only to use you. You should use parties; the highest party you have in this country is your own manhood. That is the thing in danger from all parties; that is the thing that every colored American is bound in his duty to himself and his children to defend and protect. I think it is as wicked and unreasonable to discriminate against a man because of the color of his skin as it would because of the color of his hair. He is no more responsible for one than for the other, and one is no more significance than the other. The highest interest of politics is the selfish interest of the people. You are never going to change the things, that effect you colored men, by law. If my children were not allowed into northern schools, if I myself were not allowed into northern hotels, I would change my party and my politics every day until I changed and wiped out that outrage." "I spent two days in Nashville, and every hour I saw things that made me feel that something was the matter either with God or humanity in the South; and I said going away, "If ever the colored question comes up again as long as I live, I shall be counted with the black men." "The thing that most deeply affects the Colored American is not going to be cured by politics. You have received from politics already about all it can give you. You may change the law by politics, but it is not the law that is going to insult and outrage and excommunicate every colored American for generations to come. You can't cure the conceit of the white people that they are better than you by politics, nor their ignorance, nor their prejudice, nor their bigotry, nor any of the insolence which they cherish against their colored fellow-citizens." "Social equality is based on principles of justice; political change on the opinion of a time. The black man's skin will be a mark of social inferiority so long as white men are conceited, ignorant and prejudiced. You cannot legislate these qualities out of the whites—you must steal and reason them out by teaching, illustration and example." "No man ever came into the world with a grander opportunity than the American Negro. He stands at this late day on the threshold of history, with everything to learn and less to unlearn, than any civilized man in the world." "What this splendid man needs is confidence in himself and his race. He is a dependent man at present. He is not sure of himself. He underrates his own qualities. He must be a self-respecting man. Not all men can be distinguished, but assuredly some distinct expression of genuine will come out of any considerable community of colored people who believe in themselves, who condemn and despise the man of their blood who has white men and their ways, who is proud to NO.24 be a Negro, who will bear himself according to his own ideas of a colored man, who will encourage-his women to dress themselves by their own taste, to select the rich colors they love, to follow out their own natural bent, and not adopt other people's stupid and shop-made fashions. The Negro woman has the best artistic eye for color of all the women in America." "The Negro is a new man, a free man, a spiritual man, a hearty man; and he can be a great man if he will avoid modeling himself on the whites. No race ever became illustrious on borrowed ideas or the initial qualities of another race." "No race or nation is great or illustrious except by one test—the breeding of great men. Not great merchants or traders, not rich men, bankers, insurance mongers or directors of gas companies. But great thinkers, great seers of the world through their own eyes—great tellers of the truths and beauties and colors and equities as they alone see them." "The Negro will never take his full stand beside the white man till he has given the world proof of the truth and beauty and heroism and power that are in his soul. And only by the organs of the soul are these delivered—by self-respect and self-reflection, by philosophy, religion, poetry, art, love and sacrifice. "God send wise guides to my black fellow-countrymen, who shall lead them to understand and accept what is true and great and perennial and reject what is deceptive and changeable in life, purpose and hope. "As I said in the beginning, so long as American citizens and their children are excluded from schools, theaters, hotels or common conveyances, there ought not to be and there is not among those who love justice and liberty, any question of race, creed or color; every heart that beats for humanity, beats with the oppressed." Mrs. Jean Darden died Thursday, March 18th, at 9:25 p. m., born in the state of Iowa thirty-five years ago. When quite young she made a profession of religion at her home town and joined the A. M. E. Church. Amid all her wandering she never failed to attend the worship of God. Mrs. Darden joined the A. M. E. Church in this city last spring. She was liberal to any cause for humanity and stood ready to help with all her might. Her remains were taken to her home in Iowa for burial. She leaves to mourn her departure: R. H. Darden, husband, and two brothers, two sisters, father and mother and a host of friends. Funeral services were held at A. M. E. Church, Rev. J. M. Endicott officiated.

Bennett resides at 911 West 18th street. Rev. Lund, a Free Methodist Evangelist, preached Sunday n'ight at the A. M. E. Church to a large audience. The A. M. E. Church Choir gave an excellent concert Tuesday evening. Mrs. James Smith deserves praise for her untting efforts to secure such an excellent choir. LABOR ORGANIZATION FAVORS EQUAL PAY. Baltimore, Md., March 16.—Upon a proposal of the Colored Waiters' Union, No. 836, the local body of the American Federation of Labor went on record at its weekly meeting for equal compensation for colored teachers and white. The labor organization listened to the arguments of several delegates of the waiters' union and then deemed it proper to support the measure. FOREIGN Eight thousand persons have been killed since the German revolt broke out on March 13, according to advices received in Paris. Of this number 850 were killed in Berlin alone. Septlets were born to the wife of Jesus Lopez, a private in the Mexican army at Montezuma, Mex. The arrivals are three girls and four boys, weighing about two pounds apiece, and each perfectly developed in every respect.

Moslem priests at Cairo, in the attempt to adapt their religion to modern conditions, are find new interpretations of the Koran to show that the restriction of Mohammed women was not at all the intention of the prophet. Great stress being laid upon the liberty of Moslem women in the days of Mohammed and the succeeding religious chiefs, to prove that misinterpretation and misapplication of the Koran has resulted in the present-day beliefs. GENERAL Liquor may be removed by the owner from his home in West Virginia to his permanent residence in another state, according to a ruling at Parkersburg, W. Va. Owners of intoxicants may not remove them from one place to another within the state, however. Declaring he had reason to believe that intoxicating liquors are being sold "openly and brazenly" to members of the Legislature, Maj. W. Calvin Wells, federal prohibition commissioner for Mississippi, appealed to the lawmakers as law-abiding citizens to reveal the source of their "supply." Announcement has been made that Swift & Co. here had received a carload of frozen veal from New Zealand. The veal entered the United States by way of San Francisco.

Refusal of the companies to comply with a union demand to conduct their shops on a closed basis had resulted in a strike declaration. Truman H. Newberry, junior United States senator from Michigan, was convicted by a jury of having conspired criminally in 1018 to violate the election laws. He was sentenced by Judge Clarence W. Sessions to two years' imprisonment and fined $10,000, released on bond pending an appeal, and at once issued a statement declaring his intention to retain his seat in the Senate unless that body decides otherwise, or the Supreme Court upholds his conviction. Sharing the fate of the senator were his brother, John S. Newberry, and fifteen campaign managers, including Frederick Cody, New York, and Paul H. King, Detroit. William H.

The growth of saw timber in the United States is believed to be only one-third of the amount annually cut. Twenty-nine of our states import more timber than is cut within their boundaries, and every exporting state is cutting faster than their timber grows. "A timber famine is bound to come," says W. J. Morrill of the Colorado Agricultural College; "indeed, locally in many parts of the United States it has arrived already as reflected in the high prices of lumber." It costs the state of Colorado $43.76 less to educate a student at the Fort Collins Agricultural college than at the state university at Boulder, according to reports on the two big institutions submitted to Governor Shoup by Auditor of State Stong. The average expense of educating a student at the Agricultural college, Stong reports, is $187.51, while at the state university it is $231.27.

CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS Reports received by the Colorado Co-operative Crop Reporting Service show that the increase in land values in Colorado in the past four years, while it has been general and rapid, has not been so great as the increase for the country as a whole and not nearly so great as it has been in some states. These reports indicate that the prices of land in Colorado at this time are much lower than in states immediately to the east, where most of the buyers of Colorado land come from. The indicated average value of all plow lands in Colorado at present is $66 an acre, compared with $50 in 1916, showing an increase of 32 per cent. The average value of all farm lands in Colorado at this time, with improvements, is estimated at $75 an acre, compared with $59 in 1916.

Better salaries for the teachers of Colorado will be the principal topic of discussion at the state convention of the Mothers' Congress and Parent-Teacher Association, to be held in Pueblo April 14, 15 and 16, following which the state organization is expected to step definitely into the fight for the proposed increase in teachers' wages. Plans are being formed to take the Boy Scout band of Denver to the international meeting of the organization in London next July. The 200 or more scouts that will represent the United States in London will be selected on some basis of troop competition. Each local council, however, is entitled to send one scout at its own expense. The condition of Under Sheriff William S.

Salter, son of City Manager Salter, was reported as still dangerous at the University hospital. The under sheriff is suffering from a fracture at the base of the skull. Approximately 7,000 acres of state school land will be offered for sale at public auction in the House of Representatives chamber in the state house on April 7. Included in the land for sale are sections in Alamosa, Bent, Clear Creek, Conejos, Elbert, El Paso, Larimer, Lincoln, Jefferson, Logan, Moffat, Montezuma, Pueblo, Rio Grande, Routt, Washington and Yuma counties. There are thirty-three acres of land for every head of mature livestock (animal unit) in the dry land district of eastern Colorado. The average farmer has from eight to ten acres of crops per animal unit. By using silos and proper crops and cropping methods, a few farmers have reduced this to from two and three acres per animal unit. Five hundred sheep and lambs were burned to death in a fire which destroyed the corrals, feeding sheds and troughs on the A. J. Morrison ranch, adjoining Lafayette. Morrison estimated his loss at $20,000. Sparks from a passing locomotive set fire to the prairie, and a high wind carried the flames to the ranch buildings. Irrigated farm land in Colorado now totals 2,277,741 acres, according to statistics compiled by the Colorado Co-operative Crop Reporting Service from reports turned in by county assessors throughout the state. The average value of good plow lands in the state is placed at $145 an acre, with other classes of irrigated land valued as follows: Pasture land, $60 an acre; meadows, $28; poor plow lands, $70; all plow lands, not including meadows or pastures, $125; improved lands. $140; unimproved lands $110.

TOMORROW will be Palm Sunday—generally celebrated all over Christendom, being the beginning of the passion of our Lord and the ushering in of Holy Week. Special services with appropriate music by the Catholic and Protestant churches will be the chief features of the day, while the sacred edifices will be decorated with palm branches symbolizing the entry of the Master in Jerusalem. From the pages of Holy Writ we learn that Jesus, seated on an ass and followed by a great multitude, rode into Jerusalem, the people spreading their garments and cutting down branches of trees which they strew in the way at the same time shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord; hosanna is the highest." This being an acknowledgment of His Kingship on the part of the people and a lesson of meekness on the part of the Christ which was also a confirmation of His sermon on the Mount when He said, "Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." But oh! what occurred shortly after—the hypocrisy of the multitude was not slow in exhibiting itself, for as soon as the authorities brought their influence to bear on the people they acted in opposition to the shouts of praise and adoration that they offered up, finally joining in falsely accusing Him, resulting in a trial and condemnation to death. The week commencing tomorrow should then be a time of self-examination, as today in our midst we have some of the same characters as existed in those days. They are regular church-goers, never missing a service on Sunday, never absent from a prayer service or other church meetings, leading and prominent heads of our revival seasons, and in a moment they will transform, renouncing all allegiance to the cause of CHRIST AND HIS CHURCH and ready to join the gang of worldlans who are continually denouncing and deverving the true worship of the King of kings and Lord of lords. We hope then that the true spirit of worship and devotion will manifest itself among the Christian element of our people during Holy Week, going in thought with the trials and sufferings of the blessed Lord, even unto His death, and arise in glorious triumph with Him in His mighty and wonderful RESURRECTION. NEGRO LEADERSHIP. TO BE a great man is more than a notion. To be a great leader there must be inherent in the man or person that conspicuous superiority of character which marks or distinguishes him from other men. Unfortunately, the race has too long been distressed with ignorant and almost illiterate leadership. The too willing acceptance by the race of a self-imposed and incompetent leadership has been the curse and probable cause of the lack of just recognition of the race politically and economically. What has been the result of that weak leadership? Inevitable retreat and disgraceful compromise. Too often have we yielded to the white man the high privilege of selecting for us their ideal for a leader. In such case it would be but natural that such a leader would be guided and directed by the wishes and policies of the white man rather than be inspired with the welfare and progress of the majority of his race. One great fault of the race in the development of leadership is because of the fact that there is too much jealousy among us. There are many things necessary to make for successful leadership. It is barely to be expected that a man who is merely dependent upon a political position can be a real leader. On the other hand, the man who is possessed of that superior character, honesty and intelligence, backed with the means sufficiently to place him above and beyond the job-seeking class, only can maintain that enviable and honorable position of leadership. We rejoice in the belief that the day is not far distant when we may realize that leadership for which we have been in so much need. A most healthy sign in that direction is the great development of the Negro press of the country and its consequent independence in the last decade. Only a few years ago many Negro papers sought to be subsidized, and today we can hardly name one paper that is subsidized in any way by anyone. A new era has arisen; a new ambition, a greater spirit of independence among our Negro journals has been born, and as a result a new leadership is materializing that will safeguard the prestige and future of the race. That the day of the old, compromising leader is past cannot be denied, and today we are listening to the voice of younger, wiser and more fearless leaders, who are appealing and contending for the ear and support of the race. The day is not far distant when the Moses will be universally recognized, and then may we look for a more united race and the eradication of the wrongs and injustices so long practiced against us. That these handicaps will inevitably be removed is as sure as the night follows the day. The irresistible restlessness of the new Negro in his present misfitting and uncomfortable citizens clothes for a new suit of the new style of the "World Democracy" brand is making itself manifest in all quarters. A little more education, a little more religion, a little more self-respect, manliness and moral integrity, backed with a bank account, will put down the color prejudice and put the enemy to flight. Of all the years passed and gone we need real leadership today more than at any time. This is the hour of great constructive progress in all walks of life and we must be in the procession. SHORTER A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Easter Sunday will be observed as "Join the Church" Sunday. SHORTER A. M. E. CHURCH NOTES Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, president of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and an interested worker of the Red Cross, held a large and enthusiastic audience spell-bound at the evening hour on last Sabbath, while she told of some impressions left by our boys in France; also of deplorable conditions in the United States which she was privileged to see for herself 11:00 a. m., "The Day of Palms." 7:30 p. m., "A Great Question." Following the program outlined by the Inter-Church Movement Palm Sunday will be observed as "Acknowledgement Day." The rite of baptism will be administered. The women of the Church are asked to join in the city-wide evangelical campaign of Passion Week, culminating in the Good Friday evening services to be held in each local church. The splendid choir of Shorter, under the leadership of Mine, Lift an Hawkins Jones, will render special Palm Sunday music.

Need of Women Judges on Every Bench and of "Fifty-Fifty" Juries. By MRS. JEAN NORRIS, New York City Magistrate. The Women Lawyers' association, of which I am president, is about to wage a vigorous campaign to enable women to serve as jurors. The association is a national organization. I believe that within one year women will be recognized as jurors as well as voters Dorothy McCormit Beginning my second month as the first woman magistrate, I see more clearly than ever the need of women judges on every bench, and for fifty-fifty juries. By that I mean juries of six men and six women and one judge of each sex on the bench. No New York jury will convict a woman of murder if she wears a charming gown, a coquetish hat, and snivels to a black-edged lace handkerchief. Men in judging women are inclined to let sentiment run away with reason. It takes a blend of both sexes for the jury box to arrive at a just decision. As to the women who are brought to this court, I am not here merely to send them to jail. I do not do it, if I can help it. The thing to do is to get them jobs and to give them medical assistance when they need it. One solution of this problem is the passage of minimum wage laws by the states. What the minimum should be I am not prepared to say. It should be sufficient to give the girl a decent livelihood and sufficient for a little recreation and study. "March On, Suffragists, the Victory Is Yours. Be Joyful Today, Rejoice!" The enemies of progress and liberty never surrender and never die. Ever since the days of cave men they have stood ready with their sledge hammers to strike any liberal idea on the head whenever it appeared. They are still active, hysterically active, over our amendment, still imagining, as their progenitors for thousands of years have done, that a fly sitting on the wheel of progress may command it to revolve no more and that it will obey. They are running about from state to state, a few women and a few paid men. They dash to Washington to hold hurried consultations with their senatorial friends and away to carry out their instructions. Probably they have given up hope of defeating ratification, although so incomprehensible is the stupidity of the opposition to inevitable justice that they may still hope to persuade thirteen states not to ratify. At any rate, they do publish the fact that they still dream of cheating women of the vote for a period by delay in ratification and by a legal filibuster afterward. It does not matter. Suffragists were never dismayed when they were a tiny group and all the world against them. What care they now when all the world is with them? March on, suffragists—the victory is yours. The trail has been long and winding, the struggle has been tedious and wearying, you have made sacrifices and received many hard knocks. Be joyful today, rejoice! "Sacred Dust, Mingled With the Soil of France, But Forever America." By BISHOP CHARLES H. BRANT, A. E. F. America has left to the decision of the nearest of kin in each case what the final resting place of our dead is to be—whether in France or in this country. No one will dispute the right of parent or wife to claim the fulfillment of the promise made by the American government to return to America the bodies of our dead soldiers. But it is conceivable that there are those who, after learning the plan to establish and maintain in France an American field of honor for those who are "forever overseas," may consider this the more excellent way. There will be an American central field of honor, with as many departments as may be necessary. Here each year on an appointed day commemoration of the dead will be observed. Over all, the sheltering folds of the Stars and Stripes will forever wave. Those of us who have given for more than a year careful consideration to the American field of honor are moved by a single-minded purpose. It is the work of love carried through by a sense of reverence for that sacred dust which, though mingled with the soil of France, is forever America. It aims to pay high honor to those to whom high honor is due. It would preserve as far as may be the comradeship of the war among those who met a common fate. It would express to all who are bereaved the undying value of the sacrifice made. Farmers Do Not Intend to "Produce." if Others Insist on "Reduce." By SHERMAN J. LOWELL, Master of the National Grange. The farmers' belief concerning the way to reduce the cost of living is or everyone to be willing again to do a reasonable day's work. In the reconstruction everyone must get ready to actually work again, to save again and to a considerable degree get back to thrift, sanity and common sense, or else accept as permanent the present scale of living costs, in which event we might just as well stop ranting about the high cost of living and realize that a new basis of economic procedure is here to stay. This is the declaration of the National Grange which sees in the future no reason why its members should slave long hours, seven days a week, to supply cheap food to the other workers of the country, who enjoy short hours and unlimited opportunity for rest and pleasure. Speaking as the largest and best established farmers' organization in America, the grange hereby notifies the world that the farmers do not intend to keep responding to the call, "Produce, produce, produce," so long as other lines adopt as their slogan, "Reduce, reduce, reduce."

DISTRIBUTORS PRUSSIAN REDS REJECT TRUCE STATEMENT IS MADE THAT GER MANY WILL BE BOLSHEVIK IN THREE MONTHS. CREATY HELD TO BLAME REVISION OF TREATY IS ONLY HOPE TO SAVE GERMANY FROM REDS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, March 26. — Essen dispatches forwarded by the Berlin correspondent of the London Times say that Red army leaders have rejected the armistice with the reichswehr. The Reds are now completely under the Communist leadership of the "Rote Soldatenbund," which played an important part in the Berlin riots in 1919. Berlin.—Germany will be Bolshevist within three months. This prospect could have been prevented by an earlier peace. Doddering political dilly-dallying in the Paris conference, which delayed the peace from Nov. 11, 1918, until Jan. 10, 1920, will be responsible for the development. All the allied peace delegates will be culpable, but the European delegates will attach the blame for the tardiness on America's representatives at Versailles. Only one thing can prevent the establishment of soviets in Germany within three months. It may be that assistance or a promise before June of a revision of the treaty could stem the trend. Development of German Bolshevism constitutes the greatest possible menace to the present established authority of the allied nations of Europe. To every demand of the people of France, Italy and England for relief for the intolerable post-war conditions now existing, the various ministries of those countries point to Germany and promise a remedy upon Germany's execution of the Versailles treaty. The people of France expect better times when Germany pays the indemnity. Italy is operating on a more or less keen on the same expectations. Doubt of Germanys' ability to make further reparations is growing in England. Germany will never fulfill all the clauses of the Versailles treaty because they would be impossible of fulfillment, even if the allies occupied Germany and tried to apply the treaty themselves. Will Build 26 Churches. New York.—Twenty-six new churches and fourteen manses, in cities chiefly in the West and Southwest, will be built immediately as the result of appropriations announced by the board of church erection of the Presbyterian church. Dr. David G, Wylie, general secretary, stated that $181,620 will be used for church buildings and $30,200 for manses. This included a church for Mexicans now building at Los Angeles. To Bring Bodies Home. Washington.—An agreement under which American dead in France, whether within or behind the battle zone may be removed to the United States as soon as arrangements have been completed has been reached at a conference between representatives of the French and American governments. The agreement awaits the approval of the French government. Diplomat, 97, Entertains at Dinner. Los Angeles, Calif.-Dr. James M. Peebles, 97, who was a diplomat abroad under President Grant and later a member of the peace commission to the Sioux Indians, celebrated a birthday here as host at a dinner to twenty-five persons, none of whom was less than 80 years of age. Former Senator Cornelius Cole, 97, and Gen. John S. Wilcox, 87, a soldier of the Civil war, were the speakers. Veterans Lose Home by Fire Pewee Valley, Ky.—Fire almost totally destroyed the Kentucky Home for Confederate Soldiers here. So far as learned, all inmates were rescued. The fire, said to have started in the hospital division, enveloped the entire frame structure. Would Bar Enemy Aliens. Montreal.-The Dominion government is asked to debar enemy aliens from entry into Canada for fifteen years in a resolution adopted here by the Great War Veterans' Association. Chicago Refused Loan by Banks. Chicago.—Chicago banks, as represented by a clearing house committee, refused on legal grounds to loan the city $4,000,000 which it was estimated by the Council Finance Committee would be necessary to meet pay raises demanded by city employés. The finance committee decided that the proposed 10 per cent wage increase would apply only to employés receiving less than $2,000 annually, with a 5 or 7 per cent advance for others.

E. church, Crockett, Texas, recently arrived in the city, to be the guest of his mother and brothers, David and Frank, at 2338 Clarkson street. The reverend, who looks every inch a man fitted for his work, declares he had not seen his brothers for thirteen years prior to this meeting and so the family reunion comes with extraordinary happiness. Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Estes, cousins of Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Williams, 2013 Glenarm Place, spent a few days in our city last week on their way from California, where they were visiting for the past two months to their home in Kansas City. They were delightfully entertained in sight-seeing trips and the usual Denver hospitality. Mr. Estes is one of the leading contractors and builders of Kansas City, while his wife is a teacher of artistic painting. The visitors expressed much pleasure over their visit and meeting Denver folks. BIG BARN DANCE. Big Special Dance, Monday night March 29th, by the Smart Set Club. Souvenirs for everybody. Fern Hall.

ENGLISH MANUFACTURERS OF MARMALADES JAMS AND JELLIES APPARENTLY UNABLE TO GET SATISFACTORY RESULTS WITH THE USE OF CANE SUGAR. The International Sugar Journal of October, 1919, London, England, one of the accepted sugar authorities in the British Empire, contained the following statement: As is known, there still exists among many manufacturers of jam, confectionery, biscuits, condensed milk, etc., a prejudice against cane sugar. In view of the increased importation of cane sugar into the United Kingdom from the British colonies, it is desirable that in the near future a thorough investigation should be made into the question, preferably by an official body. It should be established definitely and convincingly whether or not cane sugar can be used for all the purposes for which beet sugar is suitable. It may be found in the case of certain confections that some grades of cane sugar are not suitable, and if this is so the reason should be stated, and the means by which this defect may be overcome or minimized by the manufacturer of the sugar should be indicated. Perhaps no single industry has been so thoroughly discussed in every part of the world, owing to the World war, as sugar has been; from the agricultural economic, manufacturing, transportation, food necessity, luxury, the opcure point of view; or the relative merits of sugar produced from the cane or the beet. But with the roar of the German cannon, the flow of the stream of beet sugar from Continental Europe across the North Sea to the Island of Great Britain ceased. The subject, of course, of how England will secure her supply of sugar during the next few years is a big one and we do not propose to deal with it just now. Among the many important things, however, it will be of special interest to most Americans to realize that the jam, jelly and marmalade manufacturers of Great Britain are being troubled because they are unable to get the same satisfactory results by using cane sugar as they formerly did by the use of German made beet sugar. It will be startling, no doubt, to many to realize that for many years preceding the World war, Americans were smacking their lips over the excellence of English marmalades, jams and jellies without knowing that their palates were being tickled by German sugar made from the homely old beet. THE VERY REV, DEAN H, MARTYN HART, WORLD-FAMED CLERGY- MAN AND WRITER, PEACEFULLY PASSES AWAY. When a man who has served his God, his fellowmen and contributed to the development of cities in different parts of the world as Dean H. Martyn Hart has accomplished, we can rest assured that he has now received the "well done good and faithful servant enter into the joy of the Lord." Living to the advanced years of 82, of which fifty-seven were devoted to his Master's cause, Denver had the benefit of his wise counsels from the pulp, from the pen and also stability of character for forty-one years, and therefore his death is a loss to the community that will be keenly felt. As clergyman, profound scholar, auth or, chemist, his fame was known throughout Great Britain and Europe, but Denver knows also his popularity as a great organizer of charities, from the many persons rescued through his love for the poor as well as his unlimited acts of charity that brought cheer and comfort to the hearts of many. Born at Otley, Yorkshire, England, March 3, 1838, he studied at Trinity College, Dublin University, graduating in 1861, and then entering ministry, where he was ordained deacon in 1863 and priest a year later by the Archbishop of Canterbury. He gained many titles from his school, including Master of Arts, Doctor of India and later on his alma mater conferred the degree of L. L. D. on him. He was also the recipient of this latter title from the Denver University a few years ago. Broad minded, and fearless in his expression for the enforcement of law and order he was sometimes criticized, but in the end his policies and suggestions were adopted. He has stood at the altars and rostrum of many of our colored churches, and declared for OBEDENCE TO THE CONSTITUTION OF AMERICA and equal civic liberty for all the people. He had an abhorrence for the lawless, and in his appreciation of the lectures of the late Booker T. Washington on "The Solution of the Race Question in America," invited him to his home at the deanery for conference, which strengthened him in his plea for human rights and fair play for all citizens. He dies, but lives in the hearts of not only his parishioners, but all classes of this community, and in his dying words of "peace, peace," as well as the very touching sentence that he wrote in his last book, "Forgiving me, the grace of perseverance," rather than being attracted by transient manners of passing interest, I thank God and take courage" he has written his own epitaph, which will be a guidance to many of his profession as well as an inspiration to all citizens to do GOOD UNTO ALL MEN. The Colorado Statesman, on behalf of our colored citizens, offers its deepest sympathy to the surviving relatives and pray for the repose of the soul of our late distinguished citizen—Dean H. Martyn Hart. Miss Lena M. Lewis has been commissioned a notary public. She can be found at Lawyer Blakemore's office, rooms 39 and 40, 1622 Arapahoe street. Announcement MR.

Talbert a beautiful reception from 2 to 4 p. m. on Tuesday afternoon and many of Denver's prominent matrons in club and social activities greeted the distinguished leader of women of the country. Mrs. Talbert captivated Denver by her masterful effort on Monday evening at Shorter, and the women deserve much credit in having her to appear here. The club was beautifully decorated with cut flowers and refreshments were served in abundance. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The get-together membership social announced some weeks ago actually came off on Thursday evening, the 16th. The affair was held at Shorter Church, and was attended by 225 men and boys. It was a success from start to finish. Every one declared that never before had they seen a crowd of men who seemed to enjoy themselves as that crowd did. All seemed to catch the spirit of the evening—the Y. M. C. A. spirit—and therefore it was natural that all should have a jolly good time. Rival groups gathered in different portions of the room and vied with each other in music and song, and in giving their own individual yells. For that one night all were boys once more. Brief addresses were made by Mr. L. H. Lightner, chairman of the local committee of management, and by Counselor Adams of Pueblo, who was there as a guest of Counsellor Cary. Twenty ladies, tastily dressed in white, who had come to serve the refreshments, gave a beautiful social air to the occasion. The ladies were under the special direction of Mrs. Burton, to whom much credit is due, together with Mr. Harry Polk, the general manager, for the creditable manner in which the refreshments were served. Miss Bessie La Bell, popularly known as Denver's "lady baritone," accompanied by Madame Anderson-Chambers, swept the crowd off its feet by her splendid singing. The meeting last Sunday afternoon was addressed by the Rev. Peter S. Bell, a retired missionary, who spoke on good living. Mrs. Mazie Wilson, accompanied by Mrs. W. R. Herndon, delighted the audience by her splendid singing. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, which will be held at Fern hall at 4 o'clock, will be a Palm Sunday program.

Belgium Sketches The Priest of Poelcapelle By Katharine Eggleston Roberts (Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) Poelcapelle is a pleasant sounding name, isn't it? Something like the name of the Mexican volcano, that always fascinates the youthful geographer. Poelcapelle is not a volcano, though it might as well have been built on one as to have been located in West Flanders. After the Germans and the Belgians and the English had finished sending shells and bombs through it, nothing but the musical name of the town remained. Now, one by one, little wooden houses are growing out of the battlefield. The people of Poelcapelle are coming, back to reclaim their land. There's one house larger, longer than the others—that is the church. Near it is a smaller one, to which you'll be invited if you visit the lost village. We were there. The young priest kicked his clinging, long black skirt. "I'm always tearing it," he lamented. As he sat down and crossed his knees, khaki-colored trousers showed above his army shoes. He was one of Belgium's "fighting priests" who had served in the trenches, not in the robes of the church but in the uniform of a regular soldier. Now his sinewy shoulders bulged beneath the tight-fitting vestments of his order. "It's hard to get used to these skirts again, especially in this sort of place. I hope you'll excuse the fact that my house is not yet in order." He poured our coffee from a canteen on the stove. "I'u see, we just finished building it four days ago. The trouble is I'm so busy I don't have time to get settled." Some one looked out of the window at the few shacks which made the Poelcapelle—Nothing But the Mus "town," and asked if the congregation was big enough to fill the chapel. "Not just the people from Poelcapelle," he said. "The soldiers who come from the reconstruction camps about here fill it pretty well. But my religious duties are not what keeps me so busy. It's the other things." I was sitting on a low cot. A sudden movement sent a small round parcel to the floor, and a handful of hazelnuts rolled in every direction. We all dived to rescue them. "They are a gift from one of my parishioners." The young priest gathered them together. "Goodness only knows where he found them in this Priests Keep Hope in the People. land. I've seen nothing but dead trees myself." "Is the town growing very fast?" We wanted information. "Is it? I should say so. Visit us in three years and you'll see a city!" He dropped his half-laughing tone. "But the trouble is that people come back and have no place to stay till the government committee puts through an order to send out materials for a shack, and then the shack has to be built. That's one of the things that keep me going every minute. They seem to think the priest can do everything—even unwind the red tape of government. I'm town scribe, and a hunter of homes for the homeless rolled into one. But it's surprising to see their hope, in spite of all the difficulties." "What will the people do in the winter? These houses look so thin. Won't it be cold out here?" The very thought of the wind sweeping unob- ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION structed across the old battlefield made me shiver. "Of course it will be cold, and I've no doubt the breezes will blow through many walls. But thank God, I've plenty of clothes for the people." "You have plenty of clothes!" The exclamation sounded foolish, but really, it didn't seem possible that one man had collected enough garments to clothe a town, even if it was a very small town. "Yes," he explained. "They came from a relief organization in the United States. Not long ago a lot of them arrived, addressed to "The Priest of Poelcappele." We went to look at the clothes. There was almost every kind of everything. As I held them up for inspection, I smiled at the kaleidoscope of incongruous fashions one would see in Poelcappele the coming winter. The priest read my thoughts. "Oh, we aren't particular about style out here, as long as the clothes are warm," he answered. "So you really do get our things, after all? We've heard all sorts of stories about them going astray, not being used, and other dreadful tales." "We get them, and we are mighty glad to get them. I'm keeping these to distribute when and where they are needed. It won't be long, you see, before I'll be in the clothing business, too." "And incidentally," some one added, "you play host to wandering travelers. If you keep it up next summer, when the tourist season opens, you'll have to run a tevern, too." "I'll let the other citizens do that; it's really the only business they can follow successfully here. We can't farm or grow garden—there's too much debris in the ground." Our train was due soon, and we were rising to leave. "It's so convenient to have a train that stops here now. It has been doing it for just two weeks. All our food has to come from outside, you know, and now it comes much more regularly. I'll go to the station with you, or rather the ticket stand. Our station is still a thing of the future." We protested that we had taken too much of his time. "Oh," he demurred, "I'm glad to see people always. Won't you let me out?" sical Name of the Town Remained. down with you? The town cats may be coming in today. We've expected them every day this week." "The town cats!" "Yes. The government gives each district that's rebuilding a certain number of goats, cows, pigs and cats. We are anxious for our cats. The mice are thick here."" "And do you always meet the animals at the train?"" "Certainly. Their coming is an event of importance. We do all we can to welcome them—and besides, some one has to sign the receipt for them and see to their distribution. The office has devolved upon me." As we stood before the coach of our train we said good-bye to the priest. In response to a noisy meowing from somewhere up in front, he hastened along the path to greet the cats. We sank into the cushions, glad to be going back to the comforts of cities. "No wonder they put young priests out here. An older man would be worn out inside of a month." John settled more comfortably. "It's these young fellows, fresh from the trenches, full of energy, who keep hope going in the people. I'd think the soul of a man who lives in this depressing place would need a lot of help to keep from losing its God." I thought of the laughing young priest, with his clear eyes and his straight, vigorous shoulders, and one of the black draped skirts of his casseck flapping about the khaki army trousers. "They are well named—these 'fighting priests,'" I said. FEAR BLASTS OF THE SHELLS Accidental Bursts are Numerous and Lives Are in Danger When Collecting Unused Weapons. In the vast, desolate fields thousands of unexploded shells have been picked up by prisoners and, though there are details hauling them away and exploding them in remote valleys every day, there are still long ranks of them everywhere. Sparks from locomotives and from small fires where battlefield rubbish is being burned, occasionally set fire to patches of dry weeds and the accidental bursts are numerous. Roads passing places where shells are being set off are guarded, but it is from the accidental blasts that the danger comes. The highest culture is to speak no ill; The best reformer is the man whose eyes Are quick to see all beauty and all worth; And by his own discreet, well-ordered life Alone reproves the erring. —Ella W. Wilcox. It saves time, money and nerve strain to take such good care of ourselves and all our belongings that we do not have to seek cures and devise repairs This is true conservation of the most patriotic type, for it saves Loth labor and material and increases human efficiency.—E. G. Wallace. A potato salad is always a good standby and one which may be varied with many seasonings and combinations. New England Potato Salad.— Boil two quarts of small potatoes and hard-boil two eggs. While hot New England Potato Salad. Boll two quarts of small potatoes and hard-boil two eggs. While hot combine the eggs and potatoes and stir in two tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half cupful of vinegar, one chopped onion; season with salt and pepper and set aside to become cold. When ready to serve, add a cupful of heavy cream and sprinkle with parsley. Smothered Ham.—Cut a slice of ham two inches thick from the center of a ham. Let simmer for two hours just covered with water. Remove to a baking dish, spread with butter, add a few cloves and cover with one-inch layer of bread soaked in milk and seasoned with salt and pepper with a bit of onion juice. Bake in a moderate oven until the bread is brown. Sausage and Veal Croquettes.—Mix together one-half pound of sausage meat with one-half pound of veal chopped. Add one-half cupful of bread crumbs and one tablespoonful each of chopped celery and pickle. Season with one teaspoonful even of lemon juice, celery salt and scraped onion with a dash of red pepper. Bind with a beaten egg, form into rolls and brown in a little hot fat. A Good General Salad Dressing.— Pake half ee dozen eggs, beat well, add a half cupful of mild vinegar; and a half cupful of water; cook until smooth and thick, stirring constantly. Beating with a Dover egg beater while cooking makes a most light and creamy dressing. Put away in a glass can, and when wanted for use, add such seasonings as are appropriate for the combination served. One tablespoonful of the dressing with three f-whipped cream, salt, red pepper, mustard and sugar to taste is a dressing good for many vegetable combinations. If used for fruit the mustard is omitted. Rice and Ham Croquettes.—Take equal portions of cold, cooked rice, and ham chopped fine. For a cupful each of rice and ham use one-third of a cupful of melted fat. the same amount of flour and one-fourth teaspoonful each of salt and pepper, adding one and one-fourth cupfuls of milk, then stir in the ham and rice. Spread on a plate to cool. Shape into cylinders, roll in sifted crumbs, then in egg beaten and diluted with milk and again with crumbs. Fry in deep fat. Serve with peas or a green salad. Hash made of two parts potato and one part meat, chopped in the chopping-bowl and seasoned well, then made into flat cakes, hollowed to hold an egg, then baked until the egg is set. is a most nourishing dish. It is thought and forethought which keep the home machinery running smoothly, and each member should smoothly, and each the two-year-old up to the head of the two-house. FAVORITE FRITTERS Fritters are easy to prepare and even an amateur need not fear for the result. A fritter that should be served more often (it is so good) yet comparatively unknown is: READING Parsnip Filters. —Cook the parsnips until tender by steaming them after they have been carefully cleaned. When tender remove the skins and put them through a puree strainer. They are then ready to be added to the fritter batter and cooked in hot fat. Deep fat is the sort to be used in frying when possible, yet they are very good cooked in a little fat and carefully drained on paper to remove the surplus fat. Frittar Batter—Take one cupful of flour, two-thirds of a cupful of milk, two eggs beaten light, yolks and whites separately, one tablespoonful of olive oil or melted butter and one half teaspoonful of salt. Mix and beat, folding in the whites at the last. This batter may be used for all sorts of fritters, such as the parsnip. Take a spoonful of the seasoned parsnip, dip into the batter to cover well, then fry. Maraschino Sauce.—Mix two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with one-third of a cupful of sugar, add two-thirds of a cupful of boiling water, one-fourth of a cupful of maraschino cherries cut in halves and one-half cupful of the srup. Cook five minutes before adding the cherries and srup, then add a half tablespoonful of butter and serve. It saves time, money and nerve strain to take such good care of ourselves and all our belongings that we do not have to seek cures and devise repairs This is true conservation of the most patriotic type, for it saves Loth labor and material and increases human efficiency.-E. G. Wallace. QUICKLY PREPARED MEALS. Every housekeeper is confronted with the problem of getting meals in a hurry. Sometimes it is for the unexpected guest, and sometimes preparations have been delayed beyond the time usually allowed for such Baking Tray preparations. Fortunate, indeed, is she who has a well-stocked supply shelf or enough readily convertible leftovers with, which to start the meal. Previously cooked potatoes are easily prepared in various ways. Cubed with bits of onion, and browned in the hot fat left from cloves, or steak, they are good, or they can be fried in bacon fat. The quickest way to cook raw potatoes is to cube them and cook in boiling salted water. Afterwards they may be mashed and seasoned or turned into a rich white sauce which has been prepared while the potatoes were cooking. Hot breads may be prepared in a short time and if baked as biscuits, or as gems in muffin pans, will bake in fifteen to twenty minutes. Griddle cakes spread with butter, sugar or jelly, piled in layers and cut, are quickly prepared. Biscuit dough baked, then split open and served with fruit, makes a good shortcake, always enjoyed. With a jar of salad dressing on hand a simple salad may be made of lettuce with a handful of peanuts rolled on the molding board until they are like coarse crumbs, sprinkled over the lettuce, with a spoonful of chopped onion, served with French dressing. This is a most appetizing salad. Any leftover vegetables can be cured into a combination salad; beets, peas, beans, cucumbers, tomatoes or carrots. Celery and nuts are good combined with any kind of fruit. If one has canned fish, shrimp or lobster, with celery and cabbage a most nourishing salad or a main dish may be prepared which will be very satisfying. A meat loaf with baked potatoes may be cooked in three-quarters of an hour. Scalloped dishes with bread crumbs, cheese and vegetables will make another good main dish. Though we can't have all we desire, Things could be worse, I'll say: See that your labor's worth your hire, And you'll come out O. K. Keep smiling on the long, hard hike, And take a cheerful view; And if you can't do what you like, Try liking what you do. WHEN EGGS ARE PLENTIFUL. Eggs may be baked in peppers, small tomatoes, in potatoes, as well as in various combinations. Baked or Shirred Eggs. Butter an egg shirrer or a ramkin, cover the sides and bottom with fine cracker crumbs. Break an egg into a cup and carefully slip it into the shirrer. Cover with seasoned buttered Baked or Shirred Eggs. Butter an egg shirrer or a ramekin, cover the sides and bottom with fine cracker crumbs. Break an egg into a cup and carefully slip it into the shirrer. Cover with seasoned buttered crumbs and bake in a moderate oven until the white is firm and the crumbs are brown. Place the ramekins or shirrers on a pie tin so that they may be easily removed from the oven. Another way of baking eggs is to place them in the individual dishes, add a spoonful of cream, then cover with buttered crumbs. Eggs Susette.—Wash and bake six large potatoes, cut a slice from each and scoop out the inside and mash. To three cupfuls of the mashed potato add six tablespoonfuls of chopped ham, two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley, the whites of two eggs well beaten, three tablespoonfuls of butter, four tablespoonfuls of cream and salt and pepper. Line the potato shells with the mixture, place in each cavity a poached egg, cover with the potato mixture and bake until browned. The eggs should be very lightly cooked before dropping them into the potato. Suisse Eggs.—Heat a small omelet pan, put in a tablespoonful of butter, and when melted add one-half cupful of cream. Slip in four eggs carefully, sprinkle with salt, pepper and a few grains of cayenne. When the whites are nearly firm sprinkle with cheese. Finish cooking and serve on buttered toast. Strain the cream over the toast. Eggs a la Commodore.—Cut slices of bread in circular pieces and sauté in butter. Remove a portion of the center, cutting with a cooky cutter, leaving a rim one-fourth each wide. Spread this cavity with finely minced cooked liver, seasoned and pounded to a paste.

Here are two new models that seem at first glance quite far removed from one an- other In style, but they have one con- spicuous detail in common, for they both achieve the effect of the three- tiered skirt. ‘These are both good gowns for now and later on, for after- noon and informal dinner wear, and the wool dress is equal to the require- ments for street wear. Brown, black or dark blue are apt to be chosen for the cloth frock, and this design would be as good in crepe de chine as in wool. The panel at the front lends a long, graceful line to the figure by extending its length to the bottom of the skirt, embroidered, pointed flounces, edged with silk fringe are weighted by {t so that they cling to the figure. There is no embroidery In the bodice which is plain, but it measures up to the elegant standard of the skirt by means of a wide shawl collar, made of the material of the Irexs, Inid in fine side plaits. Shimmering taffeta asks no help at all in the making of the sweet frocks at the right. Its two flounces and the bottom of the skirt are bordered with a double plaiting of the silk, joined along the center, and the sleeves and neck are finished in the same way. It is a wide skirt and simple, short- sleeved bodice, joined by a narrow belt and made up in a light color makes a pretty dance frock. In dark blue, black, brown and other daytime colors {t is a charming model for afternoon. Instead of Petticoats. Silk pantalettes to wear instead of petticoats are made up in all the good dark shades for daytime wear. Some- times these pantalettes are made of silk Jersey instead of taffeta. ‘They are ruffled about the ankles, and are quite adequate to take the petticoat's place. At the same time they are riot so bulky, and in windy weather are far more serviceable. ee J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
