THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY Gov. Allen's Refusal to Grant Extradition of Robert L. Hill to Arkansas--A Great Victory for the N. A. A. C. P. VOL. XXVI. Gov. Allen's Re Extradition of Arkansas--A the N. A. A. THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People tonight issued a statement in regard to the refusal of Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas to extradite Robert L. Hill, accused of being the leader of a plot to "massacre" whites in Phillips county, Arkansas, last October, which reviewed the legal steps taken to prevent Hill's extradition. This the Asociation regards as one of the greatest legal victories won since the Segregation Decision and since Governor McCall of Massachusetts denied extradition to West Virginia of John Johnson. "At the close of a hearing which lasted from 2 o'clock in the afternoon of March 22 until after midnight, Governor Henry J. Allen of Kansas refused to grant the extradition petition of Governor Brough of Arkansas for the return of Robert L. Hill, alleged head of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America, to Arkansas Arkansas. "Hill was arrested in Topeka, Kan., on January 20, as the leader of the organization charged with planning to "massacre" whites in Arkansas in October, 1919. As soon as news of the arrest was received at the National Headquarters of the Association, the secretary got in touch with Senator Arthur Capper (formerly President of the Topeka Branch of the Association and at present a member of the National Board of Directors of the N. A. A. C. P.), who wired Governor Allen asking that Hills' extradition be denied until the N. A. A. C. P. could be represented by counsel to fight the case. The Association itself wired Governor Allen stating that the Association would retain counsel on Hill's behalf and alleging that Hill could not receive a fair trial in Arkansas; that this fact was conclusively proved by the record of trial and conviction growing out of the Phillips county, Arkansas, verdicts of last November, rendered by juries from which colored men were excluded, the jury's verdict in the case of five of the twelve men sentenced to death, having been returned in five minutes. Counsel for the defense put no witnesses on the stand in defendants' behalf and did not ask for a change of venue. "Senator Capper recommended Mr. Hugh T. Fisher, county attorney of Shawnee county, Kan., to represent the Association fighting Hill's extradition. Mr. Fisher's genuine interest in securing for Hill a fair trial is shown by the following extract from his letter to the N. A. A. C. P. in which he agreed to take up the case: "I immediately upon receipt of the telegram from Senator Capper I wired him to the effect that I would take the case upon his recommendation and without compensation, and that he should notify you to that effect." "From this time until the decision of Governor Allen was rendered, Mr. Fisher has worked untiringly and with great legal ability in Hill's defense. "It was contended on Hill's behalf that he had no direct connection with colored people arming themselves or with the trouble at Hoop Spur, Ark. By affidavits and depositions it was shown that the testimony at the Arkansas trial was procured through torture and that testimony offered by Arkansas authorities, who were represented by Attorney General J. D. Arbuckle, was hearsay testimony. Mr. Fisher forced the Arkansas attorney general to admit that O. S. Bratton, a white man of Little Rock, Ark., was almost lynched and that a great deal of feeling and prejudice against Hill and his organization existed in Arkansas. "Following Governor Allen's denial of extradition, which was a great blow to the Arkansas authorities, counsel for Hill and the N. A. A. C. P. immediately took a train for Kansas City, Kansas, arriving there just in time to prevent the Arkansas authorities from securing a writ from Federal Judge Pollock for Hill's removal to Arkansas on the ground of impersonating a federal officer, which counsel for the N. A. A. C. P. regard as a trivial and inconsequential charge. Judge Pollock refused to sign the papers and has set April 8 as the date for the hearing on the federal indictment. "Associated with Mr. Fisher and backed by the N. A. A. C. P., were three colored attorneys, of Topeka, Messrs. Elisha Scott, James H. Guy and A. M. Thomas. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People regards Governor Allen's action as deeply significant," said John R. Shillady, secretary of the Association. "Inasmuch as the Arkansas authorities were represented by the attorney general of the state, who appeared in person, and is indicative, the Association believes, of what would have happened in Arkansas had the ninety odd colored defendants in the alleged uprising in Elaine had a fair trial before an unprejudiced jury where their rights were protected as they were by Mr. Fisher and his associates in Topeka, and not as in Elaine, Arkansas, where the defendants were represented by counsel appointed by the court who did practically nothing in their defense." SATURDAY SERVICE LEAGUE Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 27. One of the movements created by the late war and which helped the masses of the race in the rural districts to become a greater factor in the economic activities of the country, was "The Saturday Service League." This movement was started at Tuskegee Institute and promoted under the auspices of the U. S. Agricultural Department, and the Alabama Polytechnic Institute. This effort caused the savings of millions of dollars to our people, and advanced the progress of every Negro. Because of the splendid results gained from the movement and seeing the necessity of its continuance, the government, through the State Relation Service is putting the "Saturday Service League" on a peace time basis. In DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, APRIL 3, 1920 State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House DO, WYOMING, MO ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S every rural community of the South there will be organized a local Saturday Service League. The plans now being perfected will mean much to the uplift of the race in rural regions. Regarding this important activity, Dr. R. R. Moton says: "One of the interesting features of Tuskegee's war activities was the Saturday Service League, which was organized at Tuskegee Institute, March, 1918, during a meeting of Agricultural Extension workers, called by the State Director of Agricultural Extension Work, and presided over by Mr. T. M. Campbell, graduate of the Institute, and District Agent for Alabama. "I prepared a statement appealing to the colored people of the South to support the Saturday Service League, with a view to inducing Negro farmers to work on Saturdays, for a great many years it being the custom in the South for farmers to take a holiday Saturday, detailing a considerable loss of time, which frequently resulted in many of them getting into trouble of various kinds. "In our work we have strayed far from the rulings of the Scripture, "Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work," not five. That is the word of God, and upon that word al that we are as a people has been built. Do you realize what you lose when you stop work of Saturday? The average farmer plows four acres of land every day during cultivation for one month. If he lays off Saturday he misses sixteen acres. If he runs two plows he misses thirty-two acres. In a great many cases our crops suffer because of lack of cultivation. If you work all day Saturday, during crop season, you can double your amount of cultivation and increase very materially the yield of your corn and cotton. "As a result of this effort, 60,000 members joined the League. This estimated that these farmers worked at least twenty-one Saturdays, which would make 1,000,260 days. This would be equal to adding 8,400 men to the productive forces of the South. Mr. T. M. Campbell, who directed this campaign from Tuskegee Institute, distributed 10,000 buttons, 10,000 posters and 20,000 circular letters. ALL AMERICANS UNITED FOR LEONARD WOOD. (By Edgar G. Brown.) Indianapolis, Ind., March 31.—Wherever the people have had a chance to vote in direct primaries they have shown a decided preference for General Wood, the present-day champion of the late Colonel Theodore Roosevelt's life-long policy of "all men up and no man down." Two weeks ago New Hampshire instructed her delegates for Leonard Wood by a huge majority, notwithstanding the strong-arm tactics of the state machine, which was working for an uninstructed delegation. Last week General Wood won in both Minnesota and South Dakota over great odds of political intrigues and combinations. It is apparent to the most casual observer that General Wood is not a professional politician, because he does not pussyfoot on universal military training, the protection of America first—and a long way first, the upholding of the constitution, the rigid enforcement of law and order, the protection of property rights "as everything rests on this," and the guaranteeing to every American citi- --- zen equality of opportunity without regard to race, color or creed. Leonard Wood is the only candidate to stand on a 100 per cent platform of Americanism. That's why the people are saying if you take the ROW out of President Woodrow, you will have the name of the next President of the United States. Every colored man and woman in America can become a charter member of the Wood-for-President Club by sending in name and address to 336 Indiana avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana. CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS (By Clarence J. Toliver.) INDUSTRIAL unrest is unknown among Wyoming colored men. The man of this generation has asked for the opportunity to labor at the occupation for which he was best fitted. The chance is here and the colored man is equal to the opportunity. He has but to stand firm, look the world in the face; with willing mind and ready hand to take hold and work, work, work. The men of Wyoming are sticking to their jobs, leading clean, healthy lives and making this community a fit place in which to live. A new era, a new generation and a chance to make good for your family, yourself and your race. Forty years ago we had a chance to earn a living—we slept on our privileges. The big circus, the late dance, the lively sport found us absent on the job; next day the foreigner came on the job and worked six days in the week. He was steady and thrifty, his countrymen were organized into little leagues and societies and taught him how to economize. The world war took away the foreigner. But the new Negro is here. The colored man of this generation will make good. He notes his father's errors. The old man is telling the boys to work steady and economize and fraternize for the good of the race. The great West and Northwest is calling for men at high wages and great opportunities. The colored men of Wyoming are not worried about the high cost of living because wages are so high in this state our men are able to pay old high cost and place the balance in savings banks and buy war savings stamps.

Coffroth, fight promoter, and sign for two or three bouts in Lower California to be put on before he goes across the line. NO.25 SEGREGATION AT CHURCH MEETING DRAWS PROTEST.

H. D. BEASLEY. McADGO INTERESTS BUY LARGE TRACT IN PANHANDLE Reports from the Panhandle district this week reveal many transactions in acreage in the district surrounding and adjacent to the big gas wells of the Panhandle. The entire section from the gassers to as far east and northeast as Lipscomb county is active in development and acreage transactions, with a number of drilling contracts made for new wells. The McAdoo interests are reported to have bought a large tract of leases about half way between the Bivins gas well and the Wolf Creek holdings in Lipscomb county, and it is reported a well will be started soon on this acreage. The California Motion Picture Oil Company has also bought 25,000 acres of leases northeast of the big gas wells and near the Lipscomb county line. A number of Wichita Falls concerns are reported to have recently bought acreage in the same vicinity and making preparations to start development.

BEWARE OF UNSCRUPULOUS BROKERS. There has been a tendency by some brokers to run the stock down by selling "short." This is not fair as it leads some stockholders to believe that something is wrong with the company, which causes the stock to be quoted at a low price and sometimes leads a stockholder to sell to his disappointment and loss. It has been estimated that a few Denver brokers last week sold short to the amount of 350,000 shares. And then, also, there has been a great deal of effort made to trade other stocks for Capitol, because there is always a ready market for Capitol, and this scheme makes it easy for those who resort to this method to get money easily for stock which they cannot readily sell for cash.

A most appetizing salad dressing which is especially nourishing served Hot supper or luncheon dishes are appropriate for a main dish at dinner 37 when the rest of the menu permits. The following dish is nourishing enough for a dinner dish: C Cream Cheese Dressing. — Take one cream cheese, mash and mix with a half teaspoon of onion Spanish Meat Dish.—Cover the juice, half a teaspoonful each of mustard, salt and paprika, a dash of cayenne, a teaspoonful of sugar. Mix well, then add to a French dressing made by using six tablespoonfuls of oil and two of vinegar beaten thick. Add the cream cheese gradually until well mixed and smooth. Serve well chilled on crisp fresh lettuce. bottom of a well-buttered baking dish with thinly sliced uncooked potatoes, cover with a thin layer of finely shredded onion, add salt and pepper, anment broth or gravy, the amount depending upon the size of the dish of potatoes. Then add a layer of thinly sliced cold roast beef, season and cover with a half-inch layer of cooked tomato. Cook for an hour, leaving tightly covered the first 50 minutes. Serve from the dish in which it was baked. Just before serving garnish with three tablespoonfuls of cooked peas. Jellied Apples.—Melt a cupful of sugar in a cupful of boiling water and when boiling hot add three cored and peeled apples. Turn the apples white cooking to cook tender throughout without spoiling the shape. Let the apples cool. To the sirup add leftover canned fruit juices, such as pineapple, peach or pear, making one and three fourths cupfuls of juice all together. In this dissolve one tablespoonful of granulated gelatin softened in one fourth cupful of cold water, add the juice of half a lemon and let chill. Set one-half of a walnut meat in the bottom of a cup, above it set the cooked apples, pour in a tablespoonful of jelly and as it thickens add more to fill the cup. Mold the rest of the jelly in a shallow dish and use it as a garnish for the unmolded apples. Serve with cream as a dessert or as a salad with French dressing. Scalloped Vegetables.—Butter a baking dish suitable for the table and in it put a layer of corn, season with salt and pepper, add a few bits of butter, then a layer of the pulp of canned tomato; add a thin layer of finely sliced onion and repeat. Cover and let cook one hour. Remove the cover and spread over the top a thick layer of buttered cracker crumbs. Brown and serve. Macaroni With Eggs.—Cook one cupful of macaroni until tender in boiling salted water, drain and put a layer into a well-buttered baking dish which may be used as the serving dish. Cover with half a cupful of rich white sauce made with two tablespoonfuls of butter bubbling hot added to two tablespoonfuls of flour and when well blended cook with a cupful of rich milk. Then add a teaspoonful of grated onion or onion juice, a teaspoonful of anchovy essence and three hard-cooked eggs cut in eighths. Repeat with the macaroni and white sauce, adding a little grated cheese if the anchovy is not liked. Bake until well heated and serve piping hot. The seasoning of this dish is most important. Plenty of salt, a dash or two of cayenne and a little of paprika will be needed. **Lemon Jumbles.**—Beat two-thirds of a cupful of shortening to a cream; add a scant cupful of sugar gradually and the grated rind of a lemon; add two eggs beaten light, two tablespoonfuls of thick sour milk, half a teaspoonful of salt, two cupfuls of sifted flour and one-fourth teaspoonful of soda. Mix and cut into rings with a doughnut cutter, sprinkle with sugar and bake. This makes 40 cookies. **Fried Bananas.**—Cut bananas a little under ripe in halves crosswise, then in halves lengthwise. Roll in flour and saute quickly in butter, browning on both sides. Serve at once: Very nice as a garnish for broiled steak. Most kinds of fresh fish may be cooked in from fifteen minutes to half an hour if pan-broiled. With sugar becoming plentiful, but too high for free use, the following cake will be welcomed by those who had a good crop of hubbard squashes: Take a cupful of sifted squash, one and one-fourth cupfuls of sifted flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a half teaspoonful of salt and a table-spoonful of fat in half a cupful of hot water, unless the squash is still warm, then add the butter to it. To the other ingredients add one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of shredded coconut, one teaspoonful of vanilla and one-fourth teaspoonful of bitter almond extract. Mix and blend as usual. It is about the consistency of mashed potato when ready to spread in the pans. Sugar the top and a beautiful crust will result. Remember that you have only one body and that it is easier to keep it well than to build it up after you have mistreated it. WAYS WITH POTATOES As there are several thousand ways of preparing potatoes, it seems as if for variety it is wise to enlarge on one's repertoire. Potatoes of uniform size and *shape should be saved for baking, while the imperfect in shape Salt and Pepper Olive and Celery Sandwiches.—Chop celery and stuffed olives separately and very fine. Mix these with mayonnaise dressing and use as a filling for bread prepared for sandwiches. Chopped pecan meats or chicken may be added for variety. and size may be steamed in their skins, peeled and used for various dishes like creamed potatoes, salads or escalloped dishes. Potato Border.—Spread a wall of mashed potato one inch thick around the outside of a buttered pan. Remove the pan and fill the center with creamed chicken, fish, sweetbreads or oysters. Reheat and serve very hot. If we looked for people's virtues And the faults refused to see, What a pleasant, cheerful, happy Place this world would be. Potato Puff.—Add the beaten whites of two eggs to mashed potatoes, using six medium-sized potatoes. Season well and pile lightly into a buttered baking dish and bake until it puffs and browns. The yolks of eggs with grated cheese may be added for variety. HELPFUL HINTS. The ordinary observer at the table feels much better qualified to carve the fowl than the man at the head of the table. A tactful guest will be happily entertained by the hostess or the lady next, rather than stare the fowl out of countenance while the host is wrestling with the carving. Some one has Potato Soup.—Scald one quart of milk with two slices of onion. Remove the onion and add the milk slowly to two cupfuls of hot rice potatoes. Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add two of flour, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, stir and mix well; add pepper, celery salt, and add to the hot milk; cook until smooth. Strain if necessary, add one teaspoonful of chopped parsley, and serve. sald that she is indeed a true entertainer who can hold the attention of the guests from the carving. A well-cooked fowl and carefully kept tools will make the carving a pleasure, and some skillful carvers enjoy being the center of attraction. Curried Potatoes.—Make a white sauce of four tablespoonfuls of fat, one tablespoonful of cornstarch and two cupfuls of milk. Melt the butter, add the starch, then when well mixed add salt, pepper and four tablespoonfuls of cheese. To a quart of cooked diced potatoes add a medium-sized minced onion; add the sauce to the potato with a teaspoonful of curry powder, turn into a greased baking dish and bake until brown in a moderate oven. A well-trussed bird looks better on the table than does a bird with legs and wings at all angles. If the sinews have been removed from the legs before cooking they (the legs) will be much better eating. A few pieces of screen used on the gas burner to hold small dishes when cooking will be found a great saving. A variety of vinegar to be used in salad making may be prepared at home. Let the peelings and clean bits of apples soak cold water; pour off the water and let it stand in a warm place. Add a small bit of vinegar plant, and in a few weeks you will have good vinegar. Add a bit of mint to one bottle, let it stand for two weeks, then strain. Any herb may be used in the same way for vinegar flavor. Potato Stuffing for Fowl.—Take two cupfuls of mashed potato, one and one-fourth cupfuls of bread crumbs, one-fourth of a cupful of butter, one egg beaten, one teaspoonful of salt, the same of sage and one finely chopped onion. Combine the ingredients and mix them well together. Nellie Marwell OUR GREAT PRE-EASTER SALE of UNION LABEL SUITS NOW IN FULL SWING FIRST - Be sure your Easter apparel bears the Union Label.

Denver, Colorado THE COLORADO STATESMAN LASON SHALL BE FREE FLORIDA COUNTY PARK JOS. D. D. RIVERS ..... Proprietor P. O. Box 116 Phone Maln 7417 "WE MUST MAKE THIS NATION AS STRONG AS ARE ITS CONVICTIONS IN REFERENCE TO RIGHT AND WRONG."—THEODORE ROOSEVELT. THE VICE RING. THAT our beautiful, bustling, wide-awake city of sunshine and grandeur should be tainted with what is known as a "VICE RING" is seriously to be regretted. That other large cities are reported to be in even worse condition than our own is no excuse whatever, and THE COLORADO STATESMAN, as the spokesman for the representative Negro citizens of Denver and the State of Colorado, joins with the white press and the Mothers' Congress in helping to stamp out this most damnable evil. In the case of Marguerite Boyd, the 13-year-old white girl who was found in the Duluth rooming house, the women of Denver have become aroused as never before and determined to stamp out the base traffic in young girls for immoral purposes. There is no crime more harmful to civilization and humanity than the seduction of young girls. We therefore take this opportunity to sound a note of warning to our people to be on guard and watch well over our young folk. Such a dangerous vice is the same as any cancerous disease and is contagious. Hence, our girls are not immune, and they are just as liable to be entrapped as the white girls. We call upon our clubwomen, our ministers and leaders of the race to be on guard and join hands in stamping out the curse of the day. Fortunately so far we have no reports of any such cases concerning our immediate own, but vice is vice, and kills wherever it strikes, and we should all be united against such a dangerous and shameful sin. We voice the sentiments of the Mothers' Congress and the Parent-Teachers' Association in demanding that persons convicted of such heinous offenses should be given both a fine and a jail sentence. We have sufficient and drastic laws now on the statute books of Colorado which, if properly enforced, would soon put an end to such crimes, and our young girls would not be hunted and harrassed by such vultures. As a result of the frequency of such cases here in Denver, there is much talk of the establishment of a Mothers' Court, similar to courts of other cities. As to the advisability of such an addition to our municipal courts we are not at this time fully prepared to give a definite decision. The matter should be carefully considered in every detail and from every angle before being established. But whatever is done should be done at any cost to save the young girls. We do not even attempt to discuss the cause of the prevalence of such brutal vice, but concern ourselves only with the immediate eradication of the evil. COPYING AND IMITATING. We have often come in contact with people, especially of our race, who are continually charging us with the above tendency as if a terrible crime is being engaged in (they arguing that we are not originators, but copyists and imitators), and we take this opportunity of showing the benefits and advantages to be obtained if we copy and imitate good ideas and examples set us by other races. On reliable historical records we base cur contention that nations once in barbarism and heathenism, actually void of the beauty and grandeur of civilization, emerged from darkness into light by adopting measures towards their advancement which were offered them by self-sacrificing men who laid down their lives for the purpose of leaving standards and setting up perpetual monuments which, when followed, resulted in benefits that were handed down from age to age. Originators seem to be in a class by themselves, but do we ever stop to think that nothing would be heard of an original plan if it did not find acceptance and encouragement, getting the support that would give it prominence in a community? In this particular we are greatly hampered in this country, as from lack of loyalty to one another, pride in the interests of our business, etc., strongly backed up by the cruel arm of prejudice from the other side, even when we are responsible for the production of anything great and good, it is hardly ever known, and if known, for the most part so discouraged that we lose the claim and the credit of its origin. In spite of all these we must aver that it is wisdom to copy the good features and imitate the ideals of other races, as they can serve no other purpose and can bring no other results but the best, which must push us to the front, where we will take our place with others as time rolls on. Copy everything that's good; get away from the bad. The former is meritorious of success, triumph, reward; the latter spells loss and ruin, and in the majority of cases we lose to such an extent that our action is almost irretrievable and our loss irrecoverable. Business tactics, constructive policies, get-together spirits, unanimity of ideas, educational assemblies, financial combinations are some of the standards set us by other people, and surely there is everything to gain in being accused as copyists of such qualities which must bring us unlimited resources. Follow, then, that which is of good, is good, and the inevitable will therefore result. Mme. Lillian Hawkins Jones, director. Mme. Gertie N. Ross will preside at the organ.

HOOVER, Former Food Administrator. To speak with absolute truth, it is not my ambition to be president of the United States at all. To become one of the consulting engineers to the United States would be the sort of a position that would suit me a great deal better. The latter, I think, would be one of the greatest jobs the world holds today for any man. JOHN W. HARRIS BROOKLYN, N.Y. What we really need here, over and above everything else, is a survey made by engineers from a detached point of view. This survey should expose and ventilate our national problems and it should diagnose these ills and prescribe scientifically the cure for them. Like all surveys made by good engineers, in contradistinction to those made by good politicians, it would uncover the facts in the case. If the facts in our case are not uncovered, we may very well make up our minds that the period of reconstruction is going to be a period of slip-shod patching up that will prove neither effective nor final and in the end be tragical. We need this engineers' survey in order that we may make our creaking economic, political and social machine truly efficient. If we are to get anywhere, we have got to consolidate all the overlapping agencies which have grown up in our government and focus up our problem so that we can focus up also the work that is to be done. All the cheeseparing that goes on in the honest effort of congressional committees to control departmental expenditures is only a tithe of that which could be effected with concentration of administration such as has long since been demonstrated to be necessary to the successs of private business. To minds charged with the necessity of advanced planning, co-ordination and the synchronizing of parts in an organization, the whole notion of our hit-or-miss system is repugnant. A budget system is not the remedy for all administrative ills; but it provides a basis of organization that at least does not paralyze administrative efficiency, as our system does today. Although there are forty pressing problems to be disposed of by our people in the very near future, I believe that, perhaps, there are two right now more important than any others-first, getting the League of Nations to work so that we and all other countries can begin to cut down great, expensive exhausting armaments, and, second, to get our national government expenses and taxes efficiently organized. True Meaning of "Racial Equality" as Demanded by Japanese Diplomats. By SENATOR PHELAN of California. Speech in Congress. We receive Japanese diplomats, their travelers, their students, in our homes and in our schools on terms of equality, and all their nationals already in the country of every class enjoy the equal protection of the laws and have equal access to the courts. What is the equality they seek? It is not a question of personal equality as between man and man that is involved at all in this discussion of "racial equality." It is that legal equality under which the Japanese would claim the right freely to come into the United States, just as do the nationals of any other country; it is that equality under which they would claim the right of naturalization, of citizenship, of the elective franchise, of intermarriage, and of the holding of land. By actual experience we find that we can not admit that equality involving all these things. We can not on terms of political equality or of social equality or of commercial or industrial equality admit freely the Japanese without inevitably involving the destruction of the American population now upon the soil. It is a question of self-preservation. Japanese Diplomat Sees a Sign of the Decay of Western Civilization. By BARON GOTO, Former Governor of Formosa. I have just concluded a long trip through the United States and Great Britain to appraise the effect of the great war. It is eighteen years since I last visited the Occident, and I regret to find that in the meantime there have appeared some evidences of degeneration in its civilization. This is particularly so among women, whose outstanding proof of moral perversity is their undue display of ankles. I was profoundly impressed by the show of ankles and even calves in New York and London, particularly in London, where I least expected to find such frivolity. That London ladies should reveal more of their ankles than on my previous visit is evidence to me of a decline in social decorum. Any increase of ankle display points to degeneration. In New York and London the ankles were protruded on my notice British Women Face the Alternative of Emigration or Spinsterhood. The Salvation Army in the British isles, working in co-operation with the government, is promoting emigration of the approximately 1,250,000 women in excess of the male population there. We offer no apoiogy for active propaganda designed to procure a better distribution of the sexes. One of the biggest after-the-war tasks assigned the Salvation Army in Britain is to stimulate female emigration and direct it to those colonies in the British empire such as western Canada and portions of Africa and Australia, where there are more male than female inhabitants. The prospect of placing female domestics in the United States has not been overlooked. Our records show that of the girls who emigrated some years ago to certain sections where women were in the minority, 60 per cent were married within three years of their arrival. These excess women face the alternative of emigration or spinsterhood. HOT WATER Plenty-Quick-Any Hour Day or Night.

A splendid crowd gathered at the meeting in Fern hall last Sunday afternoon, the main feature of the program being an address by the Rev. N. Alexander of Chicago. With the Chicago riots as the basis of his talk, Mr. Alexander gave a talk that went home to the hearts of those who heard him. He said that nothing could withstand the Young Men's Christian As- CHRONIC GROVCHES by Haile T. Hendrix. CHRONIC GROVCHES by Hale T. Hendrix.

Bondurant, who had been on a two weeks' trip to Kansas, spoke of the encouragement and inspiration he had received in view of the progress being made by our people in the cities he had visited. Last Monday evening was the grade school boys' evening, and a jolly good time they had. Thirty-two boys of the seventh and eighth grades were present, the main feature being a boxing contest between Whittier and Gilpin. The contests were so spirited and close that Logan Brown, the referee, declared them draws, except in two cases, in which the result was so decisive as to leave no doubt as to who had won. Other contests will be played and fought between these boys next Monday evening. On Tuesday evening the Hi-Y boys, reinforced by some of the grade boys, had their contests. If one had had the blues, and could have seen the boys in their contests, he would have gone home fully cured of them. J. A. Dorsey, of fighting fame, was the referee, and well did he perform the task. Tuesday evening is Hi-Y night. An exceptionally fine Easter program will be rendered tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. Such stars as Madam Hawkins-Jones and Madam Alice Norton will sing. Graham's stringed quartet, now famous for its magnificent playing, will open the program. This quartet of strings is admittedly the best, white or colored, in the city. The meeting-will be held in Scott M. E. church, Twenty-sixth avenue and Clarkson street, and will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. The entire public will be welcome. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS ORGANIZATION ACCLAIMED INSTITUTION FOR PUBLIC GOOD. The earth revolving on its imaginary axis gives us results that we appreciate and enjoy, and so in the rotatory action of Pythianism, the people of Denver caught in that revolution, bear testimony to the good and advantageous service offered and given them through the agencies of this noble fraternal association which extends its influence to every known and habitable portion of the globe. In accordance with their custom, last Sunday was celebrated their anniversary—the same taking the form of attendance at worship in Campbell A. M. E. Church, where they marched in procession, being met by the Court of Calanthe, the feminine phase of the order. The church was packed to standing room, and under the leadership of C. W. Young, who acted as master of ceremonies, a program of very interesting features, profoundly impressing the audience, and placing another jewell in the crown of the order, was successfully carried out, each participant measuring up to the standard of appreciation from the large and critical audience. Attorney S. E. Cary, the orator of the occasion, gave an agreeable surprise to his many friends and associates when he delivered a masterly address, with such eloquence and volubility that took his hearers back to the time of his early scholastic career. He was (to use the expression) "at home" on his subject, which presented the order of Knights of Pythias from its initial stage through its middle era, down to the present time. The thanksgiving offering, which amounted to a large sum, was divided among the various offices and organizations of the church. APRIL 5TH, EASTER MONDAY NIGHT, FERN HALL.

Mobile, Ala.,—An oil rig is being hoisted on the site of the original Uncle Tom's cabin, according to word reaching Mobile from Natchitoches, La., where the Unity Oil Company has acquired the lease of mineral rights on the old Choplin plantation. It was there, on the Choplin plantation, Harriet Beecher Stowe found the original of her famous novel. Her grave is but a few rods away on a little knoll. By a strongge coincidence, the base beams of the rig, according to residents of the plantation, who remember the little cabin well, follow the exact lines formerly occupied by the mud sills of the cabin. PACIFIC GROVE, CAL., NEWS. The Adelphian Club gave a social in the new hall which they just purchased at 513 Thirteenth street, Pacific Grove, Cal. The social was well attended, with people from Pacific Grove, Monterey and Salinas. The program of the evening was: A welcome address by the president, Mr. R. H. Walker, followed by an able address by Rev. Dr. Jas. A. Wright; subject, "The Negro Getting Together." There were no further remarks owing to the lateness of the hour. The rain in the fore part of the night prevented the crowd from gathering until a late hour. Refreshments were sold, consisting of sandwiches, chicken salad and coffee, ice cream and cake. All had a good time, went home at 12:30, feeling it was good to have been there. The First Baptist church is still prospering under the leadership of Rev. J. A. Wright. We planned a rally on the fourth Sunday. It is strange to say the weather has been uncertain every Sunday since he has been here, but there is always a goodly number of people turn out to each service. He is planning to start a revival meeting soon. We pray God will come and souls will be saved. Miss Lena M. Lewis has been commissioned a notary public.

Demonstrating the power of the soul over every nega- tive force, He glorified flesh with a baptism of heavenly fire, proved the unity of the natural and the spirit- ual, aud so became for all mankind “the way, the truth, the life.” He bad the right to say—as any man may declare when he has walked The Way—"I and my Father are one.” There are those who declare that this resurrection of “Him who was the first fruits of them that slept” is omy a myth and a symbol of the possible, His rising was indeed a symbol and a promise, but it was wore than that; it was and is both ‘@ aatural fact and a spiritual truth— for He rises daily In nature and in the soul of man, His glory shines from every rising sun and, when the day 1s ended, his peace comes to man in the calm of sleep the while He smiles from all the glowing stars. “Phe dark and the light are both alike to Him." The Resurrection was a promise to those who were, amd who are, dead in spirit, for “He that believeth on me, though he were dead, yet shall he live.” His resur- rection was a corroboration of the ‘rath realized to a great extent by those already awakened, for “He that belfeveth on me and liveth shall never die.” Example of Nature. “As a fact in nature—and certainly the resurrection of our Lord was no example of the reversal of the order of nature—Christ’s victory over the gave was a demonstration of that wondrous system exemplified by every bursting bud of spring, by the pith uo. every sentient being, by the constant expansion of the powers of idbellect and of the love of the heart. In nature resurrection {s continuous, ‘and science has found no place or thing where the germ of life is not. Came a call, a clarion call (peace was In our land), Rose our boys, our gallant boys, strong of heart and hand! With a smile upon their lps joyously went they. (Oh, the graves, the graves in France, far, far away!) So they set their marching feet in the prints He made. So they laid their young lives down, proud and unafraid. ‘Now thelr names are writ in gold for all men to see, They who died’ to make the world safe for you and me! In fact, although we may know a little about change, we know nothing whatever about death, the thing we fear most. For by death we mean absence of consciousness—yet, while we remain conscious, such a condi- tion is unthinkable, or at least im- possible to realize. In fact. if one should actually be conscious of death, ft would not be death, for one would be conscious of unconsciousness—a proposition contradictory on the face of it. ‘The very conception of a so- called “state of death” is but an in- dication of the Mmitless shores which it is possible for human consclous- ness to traverse. In the springtime the lly bulb in the earth begins to expand as if with the fever to live—that is hope. Later a watery, white shoot climbs spirally upward toward the Ight—that Is faith. Then a tiny green blade ap- pears above the ground, glad in its newborn freedom—that is knowl- edge. ‘The dews gather round the bright growing thing, the sunbeams kiss it, the rain falls upon it, the soft winds sing to it, until having assimilated something from all the elements of Its blessed new life, the plant bursts into a blossom of match- less beauty—and that is wisdom. Marvelous Sun of Life. To see and know Nature in her sweetest, tenderest mood, we must wait for the coming of spring with its sun and rain and_ revivifying winds, To behold the beauty and breathe the fragrance of the lilies of the soul we need only to open our lives to the Sun of life that is forever shin- ing just above us. No matter how cold the winds of the world may be blowing, no matter though the snows of time fall on our heads and the storms of circumstance sweep over us, one moment of realization brings the springtime of joy again, Realization of truth and freedom comes with the absolute surrender of the personal will Easter’s Lesson. From the stars of the night and the dewy grass of the spring mornings, in the notes of the birds and the music of little rills, through all of the myriad voices of nature, there comes the healing touch of pa- tience, the consciousness that vast, eternal forces go on their majestic way quite untroubled by the ferment of human brains and the hot impulses of human hearts. Men and wom- en are inspired and calmed by the spectacle of the wonderful resurrection which e tery spring brings to renew their faith in ultimate good. And the little crosses stand dark against the sky: Sign and symbol of His love, where our heroes ie, Sign and symbol of the price love must ever pay.

To bring about the “atonement” the self must become subordinate to the one Master of life. In time, we are told, “every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that I am God.” for “no flesh shall glory tn Ilis presence.” It is good to hope for the resurrec- tion of the body; it Is better to be Neve in the final redemption of the soul and to see, with eyes of faith, the far-off heaven of promise; but infinitely better still is it to realize here and now that the soul has awak- ened from its sleep, that regeneration is already accomplished and that Christ, “the Resurrection and the Life,” has come into the soul to live forever. EASTER GLADNESS IN VENICE Whole City Gayly Decorated and Re- plete With the Sounds of Music and Happy Laughter. On Easter Sunday the most delight- ful spot in the world is Venice. Here, as in Rome, however, to enter into the spirit of things, you must rise be- fore the lark and make your way to the plaza of St. Mark, the very heart of Venice, where from morning until night congregate all the wealth and fashion of the canal city. If you can win your way Into St. Mark's you are very fortunate, for en- tire Venice is bent on reaching there hefore you.

Milk as a food has been receiving more attention in the last quarter of a century than at any previous time. In the United States there has been a great increase in the nverage quan- tity of milk used by each person, but it is only within the last few years that we have reached an average consump- tion of one pound a day. Thirty years ago the per capita quantity consumed was estimated at half of what it is to- day. Much of this increased con- sumption is due to a more widespread knowledge of the food value of milk and to regulations requiring better methods of production and better san- Itation, One pound of whole milk a day makes 42.4 gallons a year. This may seem like a great quantity of milk, but a growing child should have twice this amount. Milk in Other Countries. In several countries the average con- sumption of milk is larger than It is in the United States. The people of Sweden and Denmark use 1% pints a day and those of Germany and Bel- gium prior to the war used more than a pint per capita, ‘The Netherlands (Holland) is one of the great dairy countries, as the Dutch people are fond of all kinds of milk products. The whole-milk consumption of that country is about twice that of the United States. In Italy the greater part of the milk consumed is goat's ilk, for the Italians believe it is bet- ter than cow's milk, The larger part of the cow milk, sheep milk and buffa. fo milk is used for making butter and cheese. In the hot countries of Asin and Af rica the milk is often used after it has clabbered, as sour and fermented milks are considered very healthful. NUMBER OF MEALS EACH DAY | Specialists Cannot See Advantage of ‘Two Hearty Meals Over Three Ordinary Ones. ‘The theory is advanced from time to time that one or two meals a day would be preferable to the three com- monly served in this country. If the same amount of food is to be eaten, United States department of agricul- ture food specialists state that it Is| hard to see the advantage of two very hearty meals over three ordinary ones. ‘The best physiological evidence im- plies that moderate quantities of food taken at moderate intervals are more easily and completely digested by or- dinary people than larger quantities taken at long intervals. If the food ordinarily eaten is considered exces- sive and the aim fs simply to reduce the amount, it would seem more ra- tional to make all the meals lighter than to omit one. The very fact that the custom of eating a number of meals a day has so long been almost universal, indicates that it must have some advantages which instinct, based upon experience, approves and justifies. PROPER CARE OF GARMENTS Saving of Time, Labor and Money in Teaching Children to Take Care of Clothing. Children should be taught that care of clothing means not only saving of time and labor but saying of money. Clothing, when taken off, should be folded or hung properly, not dropped on the floor.. Make it easy for the chil- dren to take care of thelr garments by providing playtime clothing that gives freedom. It should be made of material that will not easily soil or tear, Handkerchiefs, caps, overshoes and mittens should be marked so that they will not be easily lost. A cen- venient place for keeping the garments should be provided. USE SMALL AMOUNT OF WATER Part of Mineral Salt Dissolves and Is Lost if Water is Thrown Away— Cook Vegetables Whole. Most vegetables are better when cooked in a small amount of water because a part of the mineral salt dissolves out into the water and fs lost if the water is thrown away. Cook whole when possible. The people of Central and South America have been increasing the quantity of milk consumed in the last few years. Decrease by War. In Canada there was a great de crease in the consumption of whole milk due to the war. Prior to the war the use of whole milk had reached a daily average of one pint, or about 42.4 gallons a year, but in 1917 the milk consumed averaged only 26 gallons, which Is a decrease of about 40 per ‘cent. In England the average quantity of mit consumed yearly was only 22: ‘gallons before the war, but every ef- ‘fort has been made to increase the con- sumption and especially to give grow- ing children the amonnt needed by them. hat country is now conducting a campaign to raise the consumption toa quart a day for children under five years of age. In other European countries the quantity of milk available for con- sumption was reduced during the war, and in some sections there was not enough even for the sick. ‘The chil- dren seldom saw either good or bad milk. In nearly all countries, just prior to the war, the consumption of milk per person was increasing. The milk was being produced under better condi- ‘tions. The war came and proved the value of milk as a food for children, for wounded and sick soldiers and for home folks. Since the period of reconstruction began many committees and commis- sions In the principal dairy countries have been endeavoring to classify the information derived from war expert- ences relative to the value of milk and milk products, and to increase the quantity and Improve the quality of the milk products consumed. VEGETABLES ASSIST HEALTH They Spell Vigor and Freedom From Sickness for Those Who Eat Freely of Them. Fresh vegetables, served freely, spell vigor and freedom from sickness for those who eat them. They keep the blood as it should be and the whole body in good condition. The whole family will ask for a second helping if the vegetables are cooked so they are refreshing and palatable. Vegetables just out of the garden taste best when simply cooked — steamed, boiled or baked—and served with a little salt, butter, milk or cream, Often a_ heavily seasoned sauce covers up the more desirable vegetable flavor.

Y,, April 2-—'The five So- clalist members of the State Assembly —Louls Waldman and August Clas- sens of New York; Samuel A.

Legislative circles are discussing the statement given out by Louis Wald man and Charles Solomon, two of the ousted assemblymen in which they said “the workers by whom we were elected must and will be heard, If the people are to be driven from the bal lot box, where shall they go?” Reports reaching here from Ney York that the Socialists would uppea to the courts were ‘given little or n¢ attention, most members of the assem bly declaring that the courts could no review the action of the assembly ir voting to deny seats to the five assem blymen because, they said, “the Hous is a Judge of its own members and it decision is final.” U, S, Supreme Court Indicts Four. Washington.—For the first time in history a criminal indictment was re- turned against persons alleged to have obtained advance information of a Supreme Court decision for the pur- pose of stock market speculation, Asb- ton F.

He was said to have received $600 for the information whereby the other de- fendants—E, Millard Mayer, Jr. a New York broker; Barnett FE. Moses, law- yer of Washington, and James Har- wood Graves, former assistant attor- ney in the Department of Justice — were enabled to sell “short” 500 shares of Southern Pacific, on which a profit of $1,412.50 was made, Wants Government to Pay Wheat Loss Washington.—Grain dealers — from ‘Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska Missouri and Illinois have appealed t: the House agricultural committee for legislation reimbursing them for losses, claimed to aggregate $5,000,000 In 1917, due to the fact that the price of wheat was fixed at 60 cents a bushel less than the current market pkice.

THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West THE humble sweater began its career as a practical, warmth-giving garment, without claims to beauty; but thanks to the imagination of beauty-loving womankind its descendants have been industriously cultivated until there are many varieties in chic and lovely garments sprung from this unpretentious source. The sweater-cont seems to prove more altruring to designers than the sweater, but in both there is a great variety of models, made of wool or silk, by hand or by machinery, or of piece goods. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. For the last mentioned—the sweater coat of piece goods—tricolore in several weaves and jersey cloth in plain or crepe weaves offer a happy choice of either silk or wool. For the richest models either of these materials is used, with embroidery in silk, and What Spring THE COLORADO STATESMAN 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. THERE are afternoon gowns and afternoon gowns, some of them so brilliantly designed and executed that they are not abashed in the company of ambitious dinner dresses. But the afternoon gown most sought after is the less dressy affair that claims elegance and distinction in design, while it remains unobtrusive and simple. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Two beautiful afternoon gowns shown in the picture above are indications of what the spring has in store. These are made of dark-colored woolen materials and employ embroidery in silk, but they use these familiar things in new ways. At the left of the two there is a dress which may be made of serge, gabardine, duvetyn, or any staple wool goods, that is to be recommended because it can be worn with a topcoat now and later without one. It manages to be very original and very simple, depending on scalloped edges and a narrow knotted fringe for the unex- these are the last word in the elaboration of sweaters into luxurious garments suitable for all occasions. The pretty sweater-coat pictured strikes a happy medium between the two extremes of the purely practical and the highly ornamental in the realm of sweaters and sweater-coats. It is a compromise between the two, made of silk fiber cloth which appears to be reversible. This coat adopts the founced style with close-fitting three-quarter length sleeve, having a deep flounce set on. Its long collar gives it dignity and a narrow belt of silk jersey, ending in tassels, helps out its sprightliness. It is a beautiful example of one of the new styles, matched in class by the handsome hat of braid and ribbon worn with it. Has in Store pected in its composition. There are large scallops at the bottom of the skirt, smaller ones at the bottom of the long bodice, and still smaller ones to finish the short sleeves, and every scallop is edged with narrow fringe. It is not enough to say that the scallops are embroidered, it must be noted that the embroidered design is made for them. Three embroidered bands on the skirt of the dress at the right, are graduated in size, with the narrowest at the bottom. A narrow sash of the cloth is slipped through slashes in the bodice and ties in a flat bow with long ends at the front. The odd collar and turned-back cuffs are faced with satin and a slip pocket in the skirt must not be overlooked in this second example of excellent designing. Julia Bottomly MADAM C. J. WALKER.
