LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY FREEDOM OF THE PRESS IN MISSISSIPPI Mob Intimidates Lawyer and Justice of Peace Refuses to Accept Bond for Appeal of Negro Minister's Sentence for Selling Negro Monthly—Acting Governor Defiant. VOL. XXVI. FREEDOM ON IN MISS Mob Intimidates Lawyer and Ju Bond for Appeal of Negro M Negro Monthly—Acti THE National Association for the Advancement, of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue. New York, made public today copies of telegrams passing between the association and the governor and acting governor of Mississippi, in which the association asked legal protection for a lawyer to appeal the case of the Rev. E. R. Franklin of Jackson, Miss., a colored minister, who was fined $400 and sentenced to five months on the county farm at Tchula, Miss., for selling the Crisis, the official organ of the association, and whose lawyer, employed by colored people of Jackson, Miss., the association says, was intimidated by a mob which threatened to lynch him if he attempted to defend the colored minister. The association declares that a local justice of the peace refused the tender of a bond to cover the cost of appeal, declaring that Franklin would be lynched if released, and that his only assurance of protection was for him to work out his sentence. The reply of the acting governor to the association's request for legal protection was a declaration that "if the editors of this sheet (The Crisis) would visit Mississippi we would make an example of them that would be a lasting benefit to the colored people of the South and would not soon be forgotten." The association, in its statement, says that it is uncertain from the acting governor's telegram whether the "example" to which he refers means a threatened lynching or a court sentence of unusual severity. In either case, says the statement, the association wants to know whether the right of appeal to a higher court is to be denied in Mississippi by mob intimidation and sustained by the governor's office, and whether the Negro in Mississippi has any rights which white men are bound to respect. The association repeated its request for legal protection. The telegrams follow: We are advised that lawyer employed by colored people went to Tchula, Miss., April 15th to provide bond for appealing case of Rev. E. R. Franklin, Negro minister, sentenced to six months and fined $400 for selling Crisis, published by National Association for Advancement of Colored People; that lawyer was intimidated by mob of 200 men who threatened violence if he dared represent Franklin; that justice of peace declined bond, although it had been properly certified by sheriff and was thereby made valid under the law; that justice told lawyer Franklin would be lynched if released; that his only salvation was to work out sentence on county farm. Association appeals to you ior protection for lawyer to undertake appeal and asks that you advise us whether you will guarantee protection to lawyer to appeal case to higher court Would appreciate wire at our expense NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. Jackson, Miss., April 21, 1920. National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 70 Fifth Avenue. New York City. Rev. E. R. Franklin given five months' sentence on county farm and fine of $400 for distributing copies of Crisis, in the pages of which was advocacy of social equality and intermarriage between races. The mildness of his sentence was because of his ignorance. If the editors of this sheet would visit Mississippi we would make an example of them that would be a lasting benefit to the colored people of the South and would not soon be forgotten. H. H.

The wonderful opportunities which present themselves now to members of the Negro race were splendidly outlined by Mrs. G. H. Mathis of Gadsden, Ala., before the Twenty-ninth Annual Tuskegee Conference recently. "No other race ever had such opportunities thrust upon them before," said Mrs. Mathis, "and none ever rose with less real hardships. These are the facts of history and should comfort the restless spirit of some and cause deep gratitude to God for his mercy and love. "His chosen people served 430 years in Egypt to be taught the wisdom and skill of the Egyptians. The Negroes have surpassed the chosen people a thousand fold. The best use of opportunity is to acquire independence. OWN-SOMETHING. Then people will take more interest IN you and less interest FROM you. People who own something exercise more self control and are more respected and better citizens in every way than the moving, careless throng. "DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY. What the Negro does with his money will settle his future status. If he throws it away on foolishness, he won't get far. If he saves and invests it safely he can't keep from rising." It is not only necessary to SAVE money; it is necessary also to invest it SAFELY. Through government savings securities you may do both, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Certifi- cates are applicable to the saving and investment of any sum. They are profitable because they pay a regular and adequate interest and they are SAFE because they are backed by the total wealth of this great nation and by you and every other citizen in it. They hold your money not only safe but READY. You can always redeem them for more than you paid for them and they are available when either opportunity or misfortune calls. new order of black men, we through the medium of the Sou Sociological Congress, and in ways, the New South is com know and, to some extent, to us stand. They are a part of South. They are disposed to devoted to her interests as fathers were to the interests of masters. It is through this new of black men that inter-operation can be made effe THE BLACK REPUBLICAN PHALANX. With the approach of the convening of the Republican County Assembly at the Auditorium on Monday, May 3rd, to select delegates to the State Republican Convention at Pueblo, May 6, the 5,000 colored voters of the City and County of Denver are watching the play of the leaders of both factions of the party. We are entitled to a considerate and just representation in both conventions and there should not be any hesitation upon the part of the leaders of the party to consult with our best colored Republicans and agree to the selection of a representative delegation of 100 per cent colored Republicans from Denver to the Pueblo convention to represent the colored voters of Denver. Remember, gentlemen, that we have our eyes upon you and we expect a square deal at your hands. THE COLORADO STATESMAN urges all true colored Republicans who are interested in the success of the party to attend the convention next Monday at 10 a. m. at the Auditorium. INTER-RACIAL CO-OPERATION. In slavery days there was in the South a class of Negroes whose skill as workmen and whose personal devotion to their masters' interests excited general praise. They were the house servants (chief of whom was Mammy), the foreman in the fields, and the mechanics, such as blacksmiths, carpenters, coopers, etc. It was into the hands of this class of slaves that the masters, when the Civil War came on, committed the care of their plantations and their women and children. So faithful were these blacks that during the entire period of the war there was not a single instance of a betrayal of the trust committed to their hands. After emancipation what became of this house-servant and mechanic class, the most intelligent element of the slave population? To a large extent its members established homes for themselves, acquired property, and became the leaders in getting the race started on the road to that remarkable progress which, after fifty years, is the wonder and admiration of the world. Thus it came to pass that the best element in the Negro race got more or less out of touch with the best element of the white race. The descendants of this house-servant and mechanic class are today the preachers, teachers, doctors, mechanics, farm owners, and business men, who, as leaders of their race, live in their own world apart from the whites. They are the new order of black men, whom through the medium of the Southern Sociological Congress, and in other ways, the New South is coming to know and, to some extent, to understand. They are a part of the South. They are disposed to be as devoted to her interests as their fathers were to the interests of their masters. It is through this new order of black men that inter-racial co-operation can be made effective. —Monroe N. Work, in the Southern Workman. CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS THE respectable home-owner is the most desired in any community. A large number of our citizens own their homes; there are still others who do not own their homes. These latter citizens pay rent to the landlords. While rent is not as high, in Cheyenne as most cities of its size, the probability is rent will go much higher. The pride of the race should be require a home for wife and family while there is the opportunity to secure good locations. A popular colored citizen, who has always endeavored to assist members of his race to those things they most desired, has investigated property conditions and has secured the agency of thirty fine houses and lots for sale to any persons who wish a home in Cheyenne. This young man wishes to sell to colored people, and it is the one chance to acquire property in any locality in our city. The prices range from $1,400 to $6,000, and we are not confined to any one neighborhood. This latter fact may surprise some who knew Cheyenne in past years. To make these new conditions possible, our popular race man, who was born in this city, owns a good business and business property, and, wishing the success of our citizens, went before the real estate board and insisted on obtaining a square deal for his people. Tradesmen, laborers and professionals are needed, and we are in shape to receive all who wish good wages and a decent place in which to live.

Gunnison, Colo., April 26.—The funeral of Ferdinand Schavers, aged Gunnison Negro who died Thursday afternoon, was held Sunday at 2 p. m. and was largely attended by the best white people in this town. Schavers was 88 years old and had lived in Gunnison, where he conducted a barber shop, since the close of the Civil war. He was one of the finest types of the Negro race that ever lived here, being tall, well formed, with regular features. He was noted for his courteousness to everybody and numbered his friends by the thousands. Schavers was born at Mendota, Ill., and joined the Union army when he was 27 years old.

A "conscience" check for $500 has been received by F. H. Wolcott, bursar of the University of Colorado, from W. S. Burnett of San Francisco, who states that the money is but half of what he calculates he owes the institution for failure to pay his tuition when he was a student in the law school in 1897 and 1898. He stated that another check for $500 would be sent next year. The recent strike made by the Smuggler Leasing Company on its property at Lenado is richer than was at first believed. The ore runs stronger than 50 per cent zinc and the ore body, as it has been blocked out at this time, will more than pay the company for the necessary outlay to fully develop the property. One hundred and twenty-seven boys and girls in the centralized school at New Raymer have joined the agricultural clubs organized by the farm bureau. The club projects include: summer tillage of non-irrigated land, corn raising, poultry raising, pig raising, sewing, gardening and cooking. Carl Larson, 26, unmarried, a miner employed at the Smuggler Union, was instantly killed at Teliuride when he walked into an open timber chute and pitched 150 feet to the bottom. The body rolled about fifty feet more and finally came to a halt in an ore chute. TheCammelUndertakingCo. Our motto: Service, Efficiency and Modern Conditions throughout.

SWEET POTATOES USED FOR SIRUP Various Kinds of Sweets Have Taken On New Importance in Kitchen. PRICE OF SUGAR VERY HIGH Outline of Practical Recipes Given by United States Department of Agriculture Experimental (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) With sugar high and hard to get sirups of various kinds have taken on new importance in the eyes of housekeepers. A sirup well liked by those who have used it is made from sweet potatoes. It is palatable and useful, both in cooking and on the table, and it can be made easily at home from potatoes that otherwise might be wasted because of the difficulty of storing them. Any of the common varieties of sweet potatoes can be used, according to the United States department of agriculture. Potatoes which have been harvested for some time yield a sweeter sirup than those recently harvested. How to Make Sirup. The method of preparing the sirup is as follows: Wash the sweet potatoes and remove any decayed portions or other blemishes. Peeling the potatoes improves the quality of the sirup, but is not necessary. After weighing the potatoes, place them in a kettle with two or three times their weight of water, and boil for one and one-half hours or until thoroughly soft. Without removal from the kettle and the liquor in which they cooked, mash the potatoes until smooth and add For Candying Sweet Potatoes, for S Taffy, Sweet Potato water if needed to form a thin mush. The temperature of this mixture should be brought to 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and one-half ounce of ground brewers' malt should be added for each pound of sweet potatoes as weighed before cooking. The malt contains an enzyme capable, under the proper conditions of temperature, of changing some of the starch of the potato into sugar. This action is best accomplished between 140 and 150 degrees Fahrenheit. If heated to too high a temperature the activity of the malt enzyme is destroyed, hence for satisfactory results a good thermometer is necessary. The mixture should be thoroughly stirred, as it is very important that the temperature of the mass be uniform throughout during the action of the malt. After allowing it to stand for a few minutes at 140 degrees Fahrenheit the mixture should be stirred constantly while heating until the temperature of 150 degrees Fahrenheit is reached, and then should be removed from the heat. Let the mix- DRIPPINGS GOOD AS BUTTER SUBSTITUTE Many Families Practice Thrift in Use of Foods and Vary Seasoning. Fats From Fried Sausage, Ham, Bacon and Pork, and From Roast Veal and Chicken May Be Used for Flavoring. It is almost universally conceded that cooked vegetables require the addition of fat to be at their best and that no fat seems so suitable as butter for seasoning them, if on the texture of the dish and the flavor rests the decision. Many families, however, are practicing thrift in the use of foods which they purchase and are varying the vegetable seasoning. One of the best fats for seasoning a vegetable dish is sweet savory drippings. Not all meats supply fats that are savory in the sense in which the word is employed here, but the fats from fried sausages, ham, bacon and pork, and from roast pork, veal and chicken, The KITCHEN CABINET If the power to do hard work is not talent, it is the best possible substitute for it.

DISHES FROM LEFTOVER FISH. Like tender meat, the fiber of fish is hardened by continuous high heat; therefore in reheating it care should be taken. Spiced Fish With White Sauce. — Season highly any leftover fish with any one of a combination of tomato catsup, anchovy, Worcestershire and paprika. To enough white sauce to cover the fish, add two well-beaten eggs to each cupful of sauce. Flake the fish, pour over the sauce and heat in the oven. Fish Cocktail—Take a small piece of cold boiled halibut, remove the skin and bones and flake it. Season with salt and pepper. For the sauce, take one teaspoonful of tarragon vinegar, one teaspoonful of catsup, one teaspoonful of lemon juice, one-half teaspoonful of horseradish and a drop of tabasco sauce. Put a tablespoonful of fish in each glass, pour over the sauce and serve. Mock Lobster in Chafing Dish.—Take one and one-half cupfuls of boiled fish (salmon is preferred), one cupful of stewed tomatoes well seasoned, two tablespoonfuls of cracker crumbs, one tablespoonful of butter, salt, paprika and a little Worcestershire sauce. Melt the butter, add the tomatoes, fish and seasonings, then the crumbs; heat all together. Sweet Potato Sirup sweetening Ginger Cookies or Making to Sirup Is Delicious. Fish Loaf any baked fry cupfuls; if make up the stuffing left of coarse br melted butter Season well teaspoonful in a small cover with a moderate mold on a white sauce Creamed card all b cooked fish pepper and a white sauce sauce as fish nutmeg. P cups and br 'Just buckle Then take And start f thing That cou do it. EVE Fish Loaf.—Flake the remnants of any baked fish. There should be two culpuls; if not, add raw oysters to make up the amount. Add a cupful of stuffing left from the fish, one cupful of coarse bread crumbs moistened with melted butter and one beaten egg. Season well with salt, pepper and one teaspoonful of minced pickle. Place in a small bread pan or a quart mold, cover with buttered paper and cook in a moderate oven for half an hour. Unmold on a hot platter and serve with white sauce. Creamed Fish in Potato Cups.—Discard all bones and skin from any cooked fish. Season well with salt, pepper and a little lemon juice. Make a white sauce, allowing half as much sauce as fish. Add a slight grating of nutmeg. Put the mixture in potato cups and brown lightly in the oven. Just buckle in with a bit of a grin. Then take off your coat and go to it. And start in to sing, as you tackle the thing. Take half-inch slices of brown bread, the kind that has been steamed in one-pound baking powder cans, fry in a little bacon fat until hot, then serve with a poached egg on each. Bread Pudding.—Butter both sides of three slices of bread, add one quart of milk, two-thirds of a cupful of molasses and a little salt. Bake slowly about two hours and a half, stirring often during the first half hour of cooking. Serve with cream. Rice Omelette.—To one cupful of rice add two tablespoonfuls of milk and three well-beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of salt, stirring them lightly. Melt a tablespoonful of butter in a smooth omelette pan and when hot pour in the omelette. As it cooks lift it from the sides to let the uncooked part run under. When all is creamy spread with four tablespoonfuls of currant jelly and fold. Serve hot on a hot platter. Sponge Cake Porcupines.—Cut squares or rounds of sponge cake. Place in a pudding dish, moisten with orange or any canned fruit juice. Blanch almonds and press into the cake leaving the sharp ends up. Cover with a soft custard and bake until the almonds are brown and the custard set. Lemon Cups for Sauces.—When making lemonade save the best skins by putting them at once into cold water. They will keep for several days. These lemon cups are nice to use for salad dressings with lettuce or cocktail sauce with oysters or Hollandaise sauce with fish. Oranges in Jelly.-Soften one-quarter of a package of granulated gelatin in one-quarter of a cupful of cold water and dissolve with half a cupful of boiling water; add one-third of a cupful of strained honey, one cupful of strained orange juice and the juice of half a lemon. Set a mold in ice water and pour in half an inch of the liquid. When nearly firm, arrange a layer of orange sections, free from all membrane and seeds; cover with more gelatin mixture; harden and repeat until the dish is full and all the fruit and liquid has been used. Serve turned from the mold, either with or without sugar and cream. One may vary this recipe by using other fruits. If canned they should be carefully drained. --- ture, now technically termed the "mash," stand for one hour, with occasional stirring. At the end of this time place the mash in cloth bags, close the opening of the bag and knead the mass gently. The juice flows out under gentle pressure, leaving the pulp behind. Place the juice so obtained in an open kettle and boil down to a sirup of about the consistency of molasses. Good for Caramel Flavor. This sirup is especially delicious in any product where a caramel flavor is to be developed by browning, whether it be candy, pudding, custard, pie,icing for cake, sweet sauce, baked beans, or glazed potatoes. It is also very acceptable as a table sirup to eat with pancakes, fritters, etc. Some people like the sirup better if flavored with a little caramelized sugar. A little acid, from one to two teaspoonfuls of vinegar, to a cupful of sirup is another addition that lends variety, or both acid and caramel flavor may be used together. The following recipes for the use of sweet-potato sirup were tested in the experimental kitchen of the United States department of agriculture: Taffy. 1 cup sirup (nearly 12 ounces) 1 teaspoon vinegar Cook together about ten minutes, or until a hard ball is formed when dropped into cold water. Pour out onto greased pan or slab. When cool enough to handle, pull. Ginger Snaps. ½ cup sirup ¼ teaspoon salt ½ cup fat ½ tablespoon ginger ½ teaspoon soda 1½ cups flour Heat sirup to boiling point, pour over fat, add dry ingredients sift together. Chill, roll thin, cut with cooky cutter, bake in moderately hot oven. Drop Cookies. ½ cup sirup 2 tablespoons water ½ cup fat¹ 1 cup raisins 1 egg 2 cups flour (about) ½ tablespoon soda ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ tablespoon soda ½ teaspoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon cloves powdered Heat fat and slurp together, add spices while warm. When cool, add part of flour sifted with soda, egg well beaten, and raisins. Add just enough of the rest of the flour, so that the dropped teaspoonfuls of batter hold their shape. Bake in moderately hot oven. Chocolate Cup Cake. ¼ cup fat 2 squares (ozs.) choc ½ cup sirup (plain olate ¼ cup fat ¼ cup sipup (plain or caramelized) ¼ cup soda 3 tablespoon milk ¾ teaspoon salt 2 eggs or caramelized) 1¼ cups flour ¼ teaspoon soda 1½ teaspoons baking 3 tablespoons milk powder ¼ teaspoon salt 1½ teaspoons vanilla 2 eggs 2 tablespoons sugar Mix and bake as usual; makes one dozen cup cakes.

Plain or whipped cream is a nice addition. This pudding may be used as a filling for pastry shells or cream puffs if desired. may be employed alone or in combination for this purpose. Some fats have a flavor which comes from the seasoning as in sausage, from the smoke as in ham and bacon, and from the brown material as in roast meat, which is agreeable to the palate. The fats skimmed from the water in which poultry has been boiled and the fat skimmed from the gravies of most roast meats may be clarified and employed also in a preparation of vegetables for the table. Great care must be taken that all of these fats are sweet and clean and that the temperature at which they are fried out shall not be so high as to impair the flavor. Burned or scorched fat is not only unpleasing in flavor, but is a frequent cause of indigestion. All Around the House Codfish cakes are best made with fresh boiled potatoes.

Beef tongue is so well known and liked that it needs no praise. A beef tongue, if lightly corned for a few days or a week, is much improved in flavor. Simmer until tender, then cool in its own liquor after skin- ning, and it may tongue, if lightly corned for a few days or a week, is much improved in flavor. Simmer until tender, then cool in its own liquor after skinning, and it may be served in hundreds of ways. For those who like a sweet sauce raisin sauce is a great favorite. Raisin Sauce With Beef Tongue.—Take one-half cupful of raisins, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of ginger, the juice of half a lemon, one teaspoonful of chopped onion, two tablespoonfuls of butter, the same of flour, one tablespoonful of chopped carrot, one-quarter of a teaspoonful each of celery seed and pepper, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half pint of stock or water. Put the onion and carrot in the butter and cook slowly until well browned, then add the raisins and stir until they are heated; remove from the direct heat and add flour and stock with the remainder of the seasonings. Serve hot on hot tongue or corned beef. Calf, pork or lamb's tongues are all used in recipe in which beef tongue may be used. Pork Tongue on Toast.—Cut pieces of bread in any desired form and fry a golden brown. Sprinkle with grated cheese and heap with cooked chopped pork tongue. Season with salt and paprika and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Place in a hot oven to brown the crumbs. English Calves' Tongues.—Take two calves' tongues and cover with a rich soup stock; salt, pepper and malt vinegar to taste. Cook slowly until tender. Serve the tongues sliced with boiled carrots and turnips. Pour over the remaining stock and serve. Lamb Tongue With Macaroni.—Cook one-quarter of a pound of macaroni. Put in a baking dish with one lamb's tongue chopped and seasoned, one cupful of tomato sauce and one-half cupful of grated cheese. Sprinkle with cheese and bake until brown. Serve hot. All common things, each day's events, That with the hour begin and end, Our pleasures and our discontents, Are rounds by which we may ascend. WHAT TO DO WITH LEFTOVERS The leftover problem is one which needs daily solving and constant care in most households, to seethat nothing is wasted. Remnants of fish as of meat should be carefully screened and never placed in contact with butter or milk in the ice chest. Fish should be served within 24 hours after the first cooking as see that wasted. I as of n carefully never pla with but the ice cl be served after the it spoils very quickly. When buying meat remember the leftover which may follow and may need a sauce. Have all bones that are removed from roasts and other cuts of meat sent home to go into the soup-stock kettle. Ask for the marrow bone with soup and stewing meat as marrow is excellent for shortening. With French chops and crown of lamb enough trimmings are thrown away to make a most savory dish. Remember when ordering meat that an allowance of suet should go with the meat. Try out the suet and mix with equal parts of lard and you have a shortening which will take the place of butter. Beef Croquettes Made From Soup Meat.—Chop the meat very fine. Season highly with salt, pepper and celery salt. Add a little grated nutmeg if liked or a little onion juice. To two cupfuls of meat add one-half cupful of rolled oats and enough thick tomato sauce to shape into croquettes. Roll in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Serve with the remainder of the tomato sauce reheated and thinned. Savory Tomato Sauce.—Take three large tomatoes or two cupfuls of canned tomato, add water, a table-spoonful or two and stew until soft. Add one-half teaspoonful of salt, two sprigs of parsley, one slice of onion, a bit of bay leaf, six peppercorns, six cloves and two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter cooked together. Cook all together fifteen minutes. strain, boil up one minute and serve. The tomato and seasonings may be cooked, then strained and the flour and butter added, if more convenient. Rhubarb and Raisin Budding.—Cut one pint of rhubarb in half-inch pieces and add one cupful of sugar. Let stand an hour or more. Butter one pint of bread crumbs with one table-spoonful of butter; add one cupful of ralsins. Put a layer of the rhubarb into a buttered baking dish, cover with the crumbs and ralsins; repeat, and finish the top with buttered crumbs. Bake in a moderate oven one hour.

I have no sympathy with the stupendous estimates of the expenditures necessary for the immediate needs of the railroads. If the railroads are to assume the burden of moving on-the-day the peak of the load; of expediting the movement at the expense of loading; of warehousing in their cars the storage demands of the trades, then no multiplication of equipment, tracks or men will satisfy the demands. On the other hand, if, in their own interest and in that of the public, they insist on adequate reservoiring of the grain, bituminous coal, ore and kindred traffic largely seasonal in their character; the more adequate loading of cars by raising the minimums and by other devices, and such a mounting demurrage as will confine the use of the car to its transportation service, the present plant, when brought up to a proper state of repair, will be found to be reasonably adequate and its expansion within the reasonable limits of a credit derived from rates designed to promote the growth of industry and agriculture. --- THE COLORADO STATESMAN FOR ADVERTISING IN THE WORLD LARGE MUSEUM FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY JOS.

THE COLORADO DELEGATION. AS THE time approaches nearer each day for the gathering of the Republican state assembly at Pueblo to select four delegates and alternates at large to the Chicago convention, the list of eligibles becomes greater. The selection of her light kind of men to represent the Centennial state at this critical hour in the national convention is more than a notion. This is perhaps a time when, no doubt, many are called, but few are chosen. THE COLORADO STATESMAN has no particular choice of men in the party for the honor, but would insist that the party elect the ablest and broadest men from the ranks of the leaders to go to Chicago to help nominate our next President. If we send a small caliber man to Chicago as a delegate, naturally he will favor a like candidate for President, for as goes the axiom, "like begets like." On the other hand, if we send our biggest and broadest men to represent us they will, as a matter of course, seek for the biggest national character in the party as our standard bearer. We have had eight long weary and waring years of Wilson and may the Almighty deliver us from four more years of doubt and prejudice. Taking it all in all, the Republicans have a pretty fair field of candidates from which to select and any one of whom ought to be a good and easy winner. The signs of the times seem to favor the Republicans, and now, if we do not become greedy, over-confident and forgetful of the other fellow's interest, we ought to win the presidency this year. The wisdom of sending an instructed delegation from Colorado to the national convention is solely a matter for the state assembly to decide. No doubt there will hardly be a delegate in the assembly but what will have a preference for President, but notwithstanding that fact we should all be willing to sacrifice and lay aside our personal and selfish interests for the sake of the party and the great interests of the nation and consent toward bringing about the nomination of the biggest and best man for the nomination for the presidency. This year means more to the nation than any year since the Civil War. There are great problems of state to be solved and it will take a big man to solve them with a united party behind him at that. So it is the better part of wisdom on the part of the Republicans to select the delegates to Chicago from the list of the true and tried party leaders—men who are above the little petty, juggling political tricks that spell defeat. THE A. M. E. GENERAL CONFERENCE. ON MONDAY, May 3rd, the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church will convene in the city of St. Louis, Missouri, to make laws for the guidance of the church and to elect several new bishops to preside over the destinies of that great church. This, perhaps, is the greatest gathering of the leading churchmen and professional men of the race, which assembles every four years. Representative men from every state in the Union, Africa, Hayti, Bermuda and many other countries will be there as delegates. In some respects it might be classed as a Negro world religious conference. It not only attracts the attention of the religious world, but also in a large degree the political world just at this time. This, perhaps, will be the greatest general conference of the A. M. E. Church since the time of the founder, Richard Allen, owing to the great world changes as a result of the gigantic war through which many nations have just passed. The A. M. E. Church represents the largest colored independent religious organization in the world and commands great influence religiously, commercially and politically. We know of no other denomination which has so many great and distinguished leaders as has this church. There are many grave and important questions that will be put forth for consideration and solution too numerous to mention and we trust that they will meet the issues as true Christian men and leaders. Our race today is in need of a progressive church and a progressive ministry. Already the white Methodist Episcopal general conference, in session at Des Moines, Iowa, is considering the advisability of revising the ban on amusements, changing it from a mandatory act in the book of discipline to a word of advice. To say that the A. M. E. Church discipline does not need revising would be folly in the face of the fact that greater and older denominations are revising their disciplines so as to be more in harmony with the enlightened spirit of the times and to draw the younger folk nearer to the church. A most needful mandatory clause in the A. M. E. Church discipline would be one regulating the Sunday service, and instead of holding services from 11 a. m. until 2 p. m. every Sunday, the minister should be compelled, under the discipline, to dismiss his congregation at least by 12:30 p. m. The church of today seems to be getting away from its moorings and the charge is too frequently made that it is too much of a financial profiteering scheme. We speak thusly, not in the spirit of reviling criticism, but that the church may not go adrift too far in the search for gold instead of the rescue of souls. We have a great nation-wide Interchurch Movement drive now on for the advancement generally of the church and its missions in all lands. Let us help in the worthy movement all that we can. Among other important duties of the A. M. E. General Conference is that of electing the new bishops. The A. M. E. Church is now at the place where the elevation of a minister to the bishopric should be considered from the standpoint of scholarly. Christian attainments and achievements. Sentiment and sectionalism should be thrown into the discard and regardless of whether the man hails from Georgia or Massachusetts, if he has the qualifications, let the church elevate such a man. We need strong, moral, forceful and intelligent men to lead the church of today—let us hope that this general conference will rise to the occasion of the hour. BUYING A HOME. THE MOST important step in the life of a young married man is buying a home. Not only is such an undertaking paramount to a young married man, but also to any single young man. The buying of a home is conducive to good citizenship. The man who owns his own home is a safer and more reliable citizen than the man who simply pays rent. But in buying a home just as much discretion should be used as in selecting a wife. Too many of our young folk hesitate to buy a home because they cannot buy a large, fine house from $5,000 on up. Then again, too many of us, in buying a home, look only upon the outside appearance. If it looks well on the outside, regardless of the condition, improvements and conveniences on the inside, we are satisfied and often get stung. Few men would care to marry a woman who would want to spend half his salary in buying clothes and cosmetics to look well. Just so in purchasing a home. Few of us would likely buy a home that would require one-half of our salary to repair and keep up. Many men are disappointed in their wives after marriage, because they simply saw and knew her from the outside only. It is the same with many of us in buying a home. We did not examine the house from the inside. We perhaps failed to examine the title properly and after we have purchased the home we find that we have bought a lot of trouble and expense. But the main thing in buying is to buy within your means or your income and then you are not so likely to lose your home because of failure to keep up the payments, the taxes and a lot of numerous other expenditures you did not take into consideration when you made the bargain. To the single young man who buys a home before he gets married, we would say that he demonstrates rare judgment and sets himself before the community as a wise and thoughtful man. It is more commendable to buy a small, modest home in which to start life, than to attempt to buy a large pretentious home that you will be forever paying for and then perhaps not at all. The main idea is to buy a home, be it ever so humble, and become a factor in your city. There are many people who do not believe in buying a home. Such an idea is wrong and in the end will prove to be the most expensive. Then let us buy homes, but buy wisely. By HENRY L. DOHERTY, President Cities Service Company We have preached the doctrine of the hardship of work until we almost believe in it ourselves, and yet work gives to life all that there is to make life worth while. Work of itself has furnished to mankind more happiness than any other one thing. All work is not happiness, but life with no work would be unbearable. My idea of the real aristocrat, the man who can from within his own soul look down on others, is the master workman, no matter what his line of work may be. A job well done gives pleasure to the man who does it. There is happiness in the pride of being a master We have preached the doctrine of the hardship of work until we almost believe in it ourselves, and yet work gives to life all that there is to make life worth while. Work of itself has furnished to mankind more happiness than any other one thing. All work is not happiness, but life with no work would be unbearable. My idea of the real aristocrat, the man who can from within his own soul look down on others, is the master workman, no matter what his line of work may be. A job well done gives pleasure to the man who does it. There is happiness in the pride of being a master workman. There is happiness in the knowledge that one can work so well as to give a greater value in the work that is performed than is represented by the wage that is received. Every year, and age, and almost every day, sees some new scheme sprung that promises to give us more of this world's goods and with less work. First, it is pure fiat money with nothing back of it but a printing press. Then it is a minimum wage, then a single tax, then minimum hours of work, and then a community form of government and equalized living conditions—and the changes are rung and rerung, in new garb, to muddle and befog each generation. Many men spend more time talking and pushing these things than they spend in training themselves to be good workmen—and for lack of being good workmen they never make much of a success in life. Then they see others more successful and are told by every man who wants their vote or wants to sell them a newspaper that they are the victims of a vicious form of government, and this is first their alibi and later their belief. The vast majority of teachers today are getting what I call a subsistence salary. They just barely get along. They are denied the things which add zest to life and are in most cases doomed to a drab existence which kills their spirit and deadens their work. If we are willing to leave our children in the hands of people who are below the standards of physical and mental vigor, then we may go on offering our teachers subsistence salaries. But if we want energetic, dynamic and inspiring teachers who will exhilarate our children and move them to think and act, we must arrange our scale of salaries so as to offer the opportunity to every teacher to pass from economic independence to a life worth living and to higher positions. We cannot afford not to provide these salaries. We have had enough mouthing of words about democracy. It is time we begin to think seriously about the situation. Education is the savior of democracy, and we cannot do too much to raise it to a higher level. It is absurd to say that we are too poor to provide good education for our children. We seem able to afford automobiles and silk shirts, and extravagances of one kind or another. Let us economize on such things if we must, but we dare not be niggardly in providing for the mental equipment of the growing generation. The Sims Bill, the Pool Room, Betting Odds and Betting on the Races. By S. W. TAYLOR, Editor Rider and Driver The Sims bill in congress "to prevent the nullification of state anti-gambling laws by international interstate transmission of bets and betting odds on horse racing and other contests" evidently aims at suppressing the poolrooms and handbooks. The poolroom and its attendant evils killed racing once before and will kill it again if the sportsmen who are sponsors racing permit themselves to be identified with its interests. The bill is regarded evidently by the American Remount association first gun in a probable campaign to suppress racing. We don't believe the Jockey club, or any reputable sportsman who is interested in racing purely as a matter of sport, cares a rap whether that bill becomes law or not, so long as it is confined to its stated purpose. If they are as wise as we believe them to be they will not oppose the passage of the bill, and thereby they will prevent the possible charge of vulnerability, which will be made if they do oppose the bill.

A. has been prevented by circumstances over which the promoters had no control. On the 11th and 18th weather conditions prevented the carrying of it out, and last Sunday afternoon was very little better. For while the weather was a little more favorable, the fact that several other meetings were held at the same time made it impossible to carry out the program as arranged. The boys continue to have good programs on their evenings at the "Y." About thirty were present on Tuesday evening, which is "Hi-Y" night. They indulged in all manner of sports, and had a thoroughly good time. Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, if weather conditions permit, the big debate, which has been put off from week to week, will come off. The program will be held at Fern hall and will begin promptly at 4 o'clock. Everybody will be cordially welcome. HUSBAND KILLS WIFE. H. D. Davis, 30 years old, a colored janitor of North Platte, Neb., is held in the city jail, charged with the murder of his wife, Beatrice Davis, 26, who was shot to death last Monday morning in a rooming house at 2450 Tremont street, following a quarrel over their 3-year-old son, Chester. Davis worked until last Saturday as a janitor in the North Platte Valley State Bank, North Platte, Neb., and came to Denver Sunday morning to gain possession of the child. According to Mrs. J. F. Franklin and Mrs. Ella Everett, landladies, six shots were fired.

Rivers; Mr. Joseph D. D. Rivers. My Dear Friend—Am writing you a few lines to let you know how I am doing. Well, I am well and very busy. Have been on the go ever since I've been here. Am working downtown in a swell restaurant playing classics. Have certainly made good since I've been here. Have made the following numbers for the Columbia people: "Pip Pip," introducing "Ching-a-ling Jazz," "Bazaar," "Oo Long So Long, Good-by," introducing "California," "It's a Smart Little Fellow," "I Know Why," and "My Cuban Dreams," medley, and "Royal Garden Blues." It is very interesting making records and very, very particular. You must have your numbers you are to record down perfect. I have made a test record for the Victor Company and will start recording for the Emerson Company next Wednesday. I have a contract to make six records for the Emerson Company. The O. K. Company also wants me to record for them, so you see my band is very popular here. I have composed a new number since I have been here, which is making a tremendous hit. The title is, "You're a Wonderful Baby; You're Mine." My family and all the boys are well and join me in sending best regards to all inquiring friends. I have been reading of the big snow storm you're having. Well, it rains here every other day. Too bad about Mine. Chambers. It was certainly a surprise to all of us. Such a splendid and useful lady. Please phone the family and tell them they have our deepest sympathy. I sure miss my old friends in Denver. The people here are very distant. They have no time for anyone. Everybody on the go. I shall return home as soon as I finish my records, which will be real soon. Have lots to tell you about the Big City when I come home. Give my regards to the madame and daughter. Kiss that fine boy for me. I will close. Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain, respectfully, your friend. GEORGE MORRISON. April 23, 1920. 231 W. 139th St. New York. MADAM RHODA ANDERSON CHAM- BERS, FAMOUS PIANIST AND COMMUNITY WORKER, PASSES TO THE GREAT BEYOND. A Victim of Overwork in Her Profession, She Succumbs After Three Weeks' Illness. Deeply Lamented by Citizens of All Classes. Again the Grim Reaper has invaded our ranks and with his sickle cut down a life that was to our com- munity precious, to our race exempl- ary, to our cause helpful. Born in Leavenworth, Kansas, nearly twenty-six years ago, and coming to Denver with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Anderson, in 1900, the deceased began her education at the Emerson school and continued to the East Denver High school. Early in life she evinced a musical talent, and after receiving instructions under Miss Holland and Mrs. J. H. P. Westbrook, became the pianist of her school for several years. Being impressed with her progress in the divine art, her parents resolved on giving her a musical education, entering her at the Denver Conservatory of Music under the famous Paul Stauffer, where she studied and won the commendation of the faculty. Marrying Harry Chambers of Chicago at the age of 18, she left Denver for Salt Lake, then California, where she continued her studies under the renowned Adolph Gregory of the Oakland Conservatory and Western Institute of Music, graduating in 1918 with highest honors. She appeared at various times in Oakland in Recitals before critical audiences and was accredited a musical genius. She returned to Denver in November, 1918, and shortly after opened a studio at Twenty-seventh and Welton streets, Five Points, where she had a large class, as well as engaging in church work as an organist of the Central Baptist Church, of which she was a member from the age of 12. An exhibition of this class in the latter part of February this year proved to the large audience the wonderful possibilities in our people and the extraordinary qualities possessed by Mrs. Chambers as teacher and musician. She was pronounced by the leading musical critics as one of the few successful pianists in town that could interpret the works of the masters with a faultless rendition. Her devotion to community work from childhood days gave her a pleasure which she never failed to express, and though a member of the Baptist denomination, was very liberal to all other religious and social institutions for the unlift of her people. She died, in the language of all hard and honest workers, "in the harness," having performed at an event March 24, and retiring to a bed from which she never rose. The best medical attention was given her, and every care that her parents and relatives could bestow was received by her at her late home, 2431 Court place. Her death is deeply lamented and deplored by the numerous friends and acquaintances which she formed, and in conjunction with the citizens of all classes of both races, THE COLORADO STATESMAN extends THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.

TheAmericanLegion (Copy for This Department Supplied by National Headquarters of the American Legion) MARY PICKFORD AND GODSONS OF BATTERY C. 143D F. A. AMERICAN LEGION Karl Ross Post of the American Legion of Stockton, Cal., Proudly Claims Film Star as Godmother, and Appreciates the Many Kindnesses Shown Them by the Movie Queen. THE Karl Ross post of the American Legion, Stockton, Cal., claims Mary Pickford as its "godmother," and the little motion picture star does not seem inclined to dispute the claim, having recently addressed a very motherly letter to her boys whom she addressed as godsons. This post included the Battery C men of the 143d Field Artillery, of which Little Mary was godmother. Camp Kearney to Los Angeles, Mam met us at the city gates dressed in full colonel's uniform and led through the city. That night she led the grand march at the big Shrine A ditorium military ball. "Our regiment, every man of the 1,200, 'chipped in' to buy her a beautiful loving cup when she visited us. Camp Kearney. So you can see the little film star was 'ace high' with "Our Mary was an ideal godmother," said Tod Clawdsley, editor of the San Joaquin Legion. "She did a thousand and one nice things for our regiment. She autographed 1,200 smileage books and gave them to us; sent every soldier a sweater; sent us thousands of cigarettes at Camp Kearney and had 70,000 of them waiting for us at Camp Merritt when we returned from France. She provided us with auto busses to return from far out in the country to a dance at Los Angeles, and she did a lot of other splendid things, including giving our regimental standard. "Mary was honored colonel of the 143d Field Artillery. We have been told that no other in the U. S. ever had the privilege of formally inspecting a regiment of American troops except visiting royalty—no other woman, that is. "When we made a 500-mile hike from WAR MEDA' BEDECKED HERO John Bowe Has Enough Medals to Completely Cover His Brave and Manly Breast. John Bowe, First Vice Commander of the Minnesota Department of the American Legion, is one of the famous soldiers of fortune, who fought in both the Spanish-American and the late war, and is now quietly awaiting in Canby, Minn., for another opportunity to win other decorations in another war. M. In his fifty years John Bowe has been an adventurer in business as well as in war. He started the first cash market for farm produce in Canby, and organized the first cement block and tile factory when that industry was looked upon as a poor risk. He built the first cold storage building in his native city. Nor are those his only "firsts." He was the first subscriber to the Farmers Mutual Telephone Company, first depositor in the Postal Savings Bank, first president of the Yellow Medicine County Fair Association, first president of John Swenson's Memorial Hospital. And was mayor of Canby. As might be expected of one who thus broadly sensed his duties as a citizen, he served with the 13th Minnesota in the Spanish-American war and in the Philippine insurrection, having been present at the capture of Manila and ten other engagements. When the world war broke out, Bowe could not wait for America to enter, but joined the French army, connected with the Second Foreign Legion, and the 170th and 163d regiments of the line, the 92nd territorials and the 1st Regiment, Foreign Legion. He was never commissioned. He spent three years in France, and two years in the trenches. He was wounded in the attack on Champagne, October 19, 1915, returned to the front and was finally invalidated home. One would never guess that this quiet, unassuming man, as he goes about his business in this peaceful Minnesota town, is Legionnaire Bowe, and you'd never know that on the horizon blue of his uniform he may wear a croix de guerre and enough medals to cover the breast of his cont In awarding the croix de guerre, the Camp Kearney to Los Angeles, Mary met us at the city gates dressed in a full colonet's uniform and led us through the city. That night she led the grand march at the big Shrine Auditorium military ball. "Our regiment, every man of the 1,200, 'chipped in' to buy her a beautiful loving cup when she visited us at Camp Kearney. So you can see that the little film star was 'ace high' with the boys. Incidentally, I can tell you that she is a mighty sweet little lady to talk to—unaffected and pleasing. "The American Legion is very active in California just now. We have 45,000 members. The local post put on a huge carnival-circus recently. Forty-eight posts of the San Joaquin Valley met and perfected a valley athletic association to handle baseball, boxing, swimming, etc. "Our post gave $1,000 to the Stockton Advertising club last month to aid in bringing the Pacific Coast Advertising clubs here, in convention. This sort of action on the part of the Legion has brought out reciprocal support from organizations. Our post is aiding in the Missions Restoration campaign, and takes part in every movement for civic betterment." So it is quite evident "Little Mary" has just cause to be proud of her "godsons." French government said he "volunteered always for the most dangerous missions and the most perilous posts." and the Serbian medal was bestowed for "distinguished and brilliant conduct under fire." Bowe has written of his thrilling experiences of two years in the thick of the fight in his book "Soldiers of the Legion." "Looking back to my life over there now," said Bowe. "it was a busy, entertaining, exciting time while it lasted. But the comrades are all dead or scattered—the glory, the romance is gone—it hardly seems natural or possible, more like a dream or nightmare. The suffering and the exertion overshadow the few short hours of furlough in Paris or London. "We couldn't afford to lose," he said. "The price paid was terrific, but it was worth it, provided we can keep the advantages gained. One thing that gets my gont is the self-complacency of those people here at home—they have no conception of what is or has been going on in Europe, and don't seem to realize that we are just as vitally interested in world problems as the people of Europe. "We see too many politicians in office standing idly by while the resources of the country are being wasted. We see two groups at Washington sparring for an issue for the next election, evidently trying to lose the advantages the soldiers gained. But I have an unlimited faith that we shall square ourselves to meet the new day. "And the American Legion is going to have no small part in squaring the ship of state for the new day." Verboten. Coming back from France, some 1,800 men spent 16 days on a small liner that had no mess hall for the soldiers. Ordinarily, they got their chow and went on deck to eat it, but when it rained they were not even allowed above decks. They were never certain just where they could go, because guards kept popping up everywhere with the remark, "You can't sit there," or "You can't stand here." One day a doughboy who had gone on deck with his mess only to be sent below again slipped on the nonskid ladder. The food flew everywhere and the soldier landed at the bottom in a sitting position. As he sat there collecting his faculties, a guard hurried up. "You can't eat there, buddy," he announced. Women Form Many Branches. Units of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion are being rapidly organized. 445 having been chartered up to March 26. By JANIE OSBORN (© 1920, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) If you had happened to be buying shoes on a certain May morning in Dawson's smart shoe shop you might have seen a prepossessing young shoe salesman with his footstool drawn close to a bewitching young customer, and you would have thought their conversation was more heated and more intimate than the purchase of a pair of shoes or so would usually warrant. If you had overheard you would have got this: "But I think it was extremely underhanded of you," from the girl, "You told me you were learning your father's business in every detail and I knew he was in the shoe business but I never dreamed that you were actually waiting on people, selling women's shoes. "I shouldn't think you'd want to. And you didn't want me to know. I am sure, or you would have told me so right out. If I just hadn't happened to walk right up to you before I even recognized you I never would have found it out. Of course, I didn't know that your father was really at the head of Dawson's." "I had nothing to be ashamed of," said young Dawson, with considerable asperity—asperity that set very well on his well-molded, forceful features. "In my letters I did not go into details because I didn't know you would be interested. I told you what I thought would be of most interest to you. I told you that I would soon be promoted to the post of vice president of the concern with a quarter interest in the business. I told you what my income would be within a few months. I told you because I thought it only fair for you to know those things in considering my proposal." Then followed an awkward pause. Poor little Doris seemed to be blushing with intense embarrassment and there was nothing for her round blue eyes to do but to glance down at the white buckskin pumps that young Dawson had showed her before she realized that he was young Dawson at all. For Doris, in fact, had been too preoccupied thinking of the letter of proposal that had come that very morning from young Dawson to notice the young shoe salesman who waited on her, even though he was as obviously good to look upon as was Dawson. "Well, I suppose I might as well get the shoes anyway," she said lamely. "Yes, I think that those will do." "Not if I have anything to say about it," came from Dawson, and he was surprised at his own temerity. Perhaps he had a sort of caveman desire to subject the little blue-eyed girl to even more embarrassment than she already felt, to punish her in part for the opinion she had expressed concerning his present humble calling. "If I am going to have anything to say about what you do and don't do, I am never going to let you wear shoes like that—I guess I know from my experience here as salesman. Heels like that just ruin the shape of women's feet. Oh, perhaps they are all right for dances and parties, but you want these shoes to walk in. I wouldn't talk to any ordinary customer that way, but I've got to talk to you straight from the shoulder. I never imagined women fortured their feet the way they do, and it's something that every shoe manufacturer and retailer ought to know. That's why I'm glad I am spending these weeks selling shoes." "But I think I have a right to buy the sort of shoes I wish. Besides you don't know how I am answering your letter." As a matter of fact the letter was on its way containing an answer unequivocably in the affirmative. Doris had planned to get these delectable shoes for a spring house party to which they were both invited the next week-end. High-heeled white buckskin pumps were essential to producing the picture that she contemplated. "Look at the shoes you've got on now," ruthlessly went on young Dawson, holding up a dainty high-buttoned boot with exaggeratedly long-pointed vamp and the extreme of high heel. "That's ridiculous. It'll ruin your health and I'll bet it's fiendishly uncomfortable." Doris did not relish this frankness. "I think I've stood all I am going to stand from you," she said. "You are taking a very unfair advantage of me to get down and say things about my shoes and my feet." She was trying desperately to tuck a little silk-covered foot under an abbreviated skirt. "Please put my shoe back on and let me go." The shoe was eventually buttoned up and Doris rose. "Forgive me," whispered the shoe salesman looking up pleadingly from his stool. "I only said it for your own good. I wanted to show you some of the sort of shoes I think a girl like you would like better. They're lots nifter than these. With your little 'oot they'd look wonderful, and they'd be so much better for you." But Doris was obdurate. She was miserable but she was taking a strange youthful feminine delight in torturing the man she knew well enough she loved to distraction. She knew she would be filled with tearful remorse as soon as she was home and had time to think of it. but now it gave her a strange sort of pleasure to ```markdown ``` torture him. She minced her way on her high heels out of the shop without even turning to bid him good-by and Dawson was left to gather together the array of high heeled white buckskin pumps he had got out for her inspection. THE COLORADO STATESMAN About a half hour later young Dawson was hurrying along the avenue, bent on getting to his rooms to see whether a letter had yet arrived from Doris and back again within the hour allowed salesmen at Dawson's for lunch. His interview with Doris herself had left him without the slightest appetite for that repast. If she had actually written a letter of acceptance then this little difference might be made up. He could hold her to her decision, send her five or six, ten dozer if necessary, American beauties, ten pounds of the best candy and perhaps she might still be his. Because of his hese he was especially annoyed midway of a busy block. A crowd had gathered that stretched to the curb. Abstracted as he was his ears were not deaf to comments he heard. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West "Smatter? Somebody hurt?" asked one of the crowd trying to push his way through for a better view. "Naw." came the rejoinder from some one in a more advantageous place. "Lady stuck." "What you mean, stuck?" came from the first. "High heel in a iron grating." was the reply. "Swonder more don't get caught that way." Then came a suppressed chuckle from the crowd. But young Dawson had heard enough. Eager as he was to get to his rooms, he took time to push up to the crowd and, being of more than average height, he did not have to push very far before he saw the center of that good-natured gathering of lunch hour pedestrians. It was Doris, the dainty blue-eyed girl of his dreams and stuck she was with one high butted boot within the bars of a basement grating. A fat but obliging man was down on hands and knees trying to pry the shoe loosen with a flat key. Some one was suggesting that they had better let him cut the heel off with his pocket knife and others were suggesting that the lady unbutton her shoe and walk out of it, when it could be twisted about and loosened from the grating, but as the lady had no button hook that suggestion did not meet the favor of the crowd. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. "I have a button hook," interrupted Dawson's clear voice as he pushed his way boldly into the crowd. "Salesman from a shoe store," snickered an observer. "They always carry button hooks in their pockets." By this time Dawson's muscular arms were moving definitely from side to side with a definite aim to disperse the crowd. And the loiterers knew from the expression on his face that he meant business. "Stand back," he commanded, "the lady will faint if you don't give her any air. Haven't you men anything better to do than to stand laughing at a lady in a predicament like this?" THE COLORADO STATESMAN "Serves her right for wearing those high heels," threw back one of the last to leave Doris and young Dawson. It was a simple matter unbuttoning the high shoe, and once Doris had stepped out of it Dawson easily worked the heel loose from the iron grating. But he did not wait to button it back on. He hailed a passing taxi cab and bundled the poor, speechless Doris therein, and, stepping in beside her, ordered the taxi cab to go to the uptown home of his married sister. "I can't take you to my own place, obviously, and just as obviously you can't go all the way out to your country place. And I know you'll want to rest up a bit after that ordeal. It will at least be perfectly proper to take you to my sister's and we can do your shoe up there. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. "But I don't like to take your time," came weakly from Doris, who was making a very plucky effort to fight off the faintness that she felt as a result of her pivotal position in the street crowd. "You oughtn't to take so much time for me. Weren't you going somewhere important?" "Yes, I was," said Dawson. "I was going home to see if you had sent an answer to the letter I sent you, but maybe you will tell me if you had written one and what the letter said." "I said yes, of course," said Doris with a little perplexed smile as she looked up at young Dawson beside her in the taxi. "And, honestly, I'm never going to wear those silly heels in the street again. I knew I wasn't going to anyway, after what you said." An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. But Dawson wasn't thinking about heels at that memorable moment when it was revealed to him that this most charming of girls in the world had actually accepted his heart and hand. But He Won.

A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer. "Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me?

The farmer looked at the merchant a moment and then said: "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertisers? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here."

"In the unsettled condition of the world today," he said previously before a congressional committee on March 6, "our navy must be prepared for any emergency." He added, later on, that either every nation must enter into an agreement to preserve the peace of the world, without competitive navy building, "or we must have incomparably the biggest navy on the seas." The latest comparative figures on the navies of the great powers obtainable at the navy department are dated July 1, 1919. These showed Great Britain to be far in the lead in warship tonnage with 2,652,130 tons of fighting craft, as against 1,180,355 tons belonging to the United States, 623,850 tons flying the French flag and 580,716 tons belonging to Japan.

Old-fashioned marriage ideas have outlined their applicability under present conditions, she says.

BIGAMIST WILL LIVE HUIRT CAN'T REMEMBER HOW MANY MURDERS HE COMMITTED, SAY POLICE. Los Angeles, April 30.—James R. Huirt, held here while officers investigated reports of his marriage to a number of women, confessed that he had slain two of the women, according to county officers. The alleged confession was made to Thomas Lee Woolwine, district attorney, and several other officers, who said Huirt had made "partial confessions" to having slain two other women. The officers said Huirt stated "he might have murdered more," but in his weakened condition, resulting from two attempts at suicide, he "could not remember." He also declared, according to the officers, that he had married "twelve or fifteen" women, "probably more," they quoted him, but he was "too weak to give details." More than twenty-five marriages have been attributed by the officers to Huirt. Seven are listed by the officers as missing. The women Huirt confessed having slain were Nina Lee Deloney and Betty Prior, the officers said. They quoted Huirt as saying he killed the former at Long Beach, Cal., with a hammer, and the latter near Plum, Wash., by crushing her head with a sledge hammer. The "partial confession," according to the officers, related to the death of Bertha Goodnich and Alice Ludvigson, who were said to have married Huirt. Miss Goodnich, the officers said, was tipped out of a boat in Lake Washington, near Seattle, and Miss Ludvigson was "drowned" in a river in Idaho. Huirt's actual words in connection with the deaths of Misses Goodnich and Ludvigson, the officers said, were that they were killed "by accident." Refiners to Block Speculation. Washington.—Sugar refiners ent-red into an agreement with the Department of Justice to cooperate with the government in preventing the resale of sugar to the trade, and to that extent to decrease speculation, it has been announced by Attorney General Palmer. The agreement, Mr. Palmer said, was one result of the conferences between department officials and refiners' representatives held here. While this move was not expected to cure all the evils of the shortage and high prices, Mr. Palmer believed it would aid in obtaining better distribution of sugar stocks. The refiners, he said, agreed to refuse to resell to any firm except where the commodity would take a direct course to the consumer. Objection was raised by the refiners, however, to the elimination of the "legitimate sugar broker" who, they said, served a useful purpose in the distributing system. Snowslide Kills Three. Anchorage, Alaska. —Three men were killed and six slightly injured when a snowslide crashed into a working party on the government railroad at mile seventy-six, between Anchorage and Seward, sweeping scores of men into the ice-filled waters of Turnagain Arm. Moonshine School Near Coast. Los Angeles, Calif.—A "school for moonshiners" is being conducted on San Nicolas island, seventy-five miles off the coast of Los Angeles county, according to a statement declared to have been made by Ira Eaton, arrested on Santa Cruz island, charged with operating an illicit still. Eaton was brought to Los Angeles late today by Wm. E. Cavanaugh. Cavanaugh said Eaton told him of the "school" and also that he knew of at least twenty stills being operated on islands near the coast. Dentist Kills Wife and Self. Louisville, Ky.—Enraged because his wife asked for a larger weekly allowance with which to pay the grocery bill, Dr. Charles E. Nary, 54, widely known dentist, slashed his wife's throat with a butcher knife, stabbed her sister, Mrs. M. N. Fenton of Carlinville, Ill., then ended his own life at the Nary home here. Mrs. Nary is not expected to live. Mrs. Fenton will recover. Prices Due to Slow Up. Washington.—Reports from federal reserve agents throughout the country showed a marked tendency of prices to resume their upward movement, the federal reserve board reported in its summary of business conditions for April. But the board noted the hopeful sign, from the consumers' viewpoint, of "anxiety concerning the overstrained situation resulting from excessively high prices and wages," which it believed forecast a slowing down of prices.

In some of the cities of Europe a dog is taxed according to its size—a little tax for a little dog and a big tax for a big dog. In olden times the ladies in England used nutmegs as a perfume. The nutmegs were set in silver and ornamented with pearl and precious stones, and hung from a lady's belt like a modern scent-bottle. BESTOWEN FOR LOS ACACIOS Catholic University R. L. Norman OFFICE PHONE CHAMPA 5960 GOOD STYLE IN SUMMER WRAPS THE WOOL COAT Ginghams Return With Summer L COATS and sweaters, for spring and summer wear, reveal a great variety in designs with very few freakish or ungraceful models among them. The standard of "style" is high; that is, in color and form the new outer garments are artistic and pleasing and there are models for all personalities. The sweaters and sweater coats preserve the characteristics of sports garments, but have taken on additional dignity by using elegant materials and adopting the required lines. This fits them to play more than one role, for street dress with a sports dress flavor is among the things that have arrived to spend the summer with us. A great many cape-like wraps, and modifications of the cape, are displayed for summer wear. These are long and have big collars, as a rule, some of them to be correctly described as huge. A few have moderate collars of summer furs; squirrel being a favorite. The liking for long capacious wraps has survived the winter. Even coats often emphasize the dominance of the cape by introducing the Ginghams Retur MORNING dresses or utility dresses or porch dresses, as they are vartiously called, made of ginghams, chambrays, percales and other cottonts, have soared in price until they bring as much as wool or silk frocks did in prewar days. The high cost of labor, more than anything else, has brought them up to the point where there is a very great saving in making them at home, and in addition to the saving there are other good reasons why mothers and daughters should do this work for themselves. Ordinary needlework ought to be a part of every girl's training and cotton house dresses or school dresses offer chances for learning what it is certain most women will some day need to know. For the aspiring flapper there are such pretty frocks of ginghams as those shown here, to lure her into learning how to use a needle. They could hardly be more simple, but they are neat and crisp looking and suggest all sorts of good times in summer weather. Such dresses are often made with gingham hats to match or hats of white organdy are provided for wear with them. And just lately adorable and frivolous sunbonnets have returned from a long exile, to take the place of summer sunshades. The colorings in the plaid and semblance of one in their composition. An example of this appears in the wrap shown above with a shallow yoke at the top, supporting a short cape at the back that is merged into sleeves. Parallel rows of stitching and very large buttons call attention to this set-on cape and large buttons on the sleeves ask that they be not overloaded. The coat has patch pockets at the front and reaches within six inches of the bottom of the skirt. It is provided with a muffler collar, for which there is plenty of need in the mountains and on the shore. Handsome swenter coats of silk jersey or other silk weaves are displayed both in gay and in sedate colors. Even black is very smart this season in these coats and commends itself for wear with separate skirts on the street. The model shown in the picture is double-breasted and has employed angora cloth for a wide convertible collar and deep border at the bottom in which pockets are formed at each side. A girdle of the material ends in long silk tassels. n With Summer checked ginghams are more than ever attractive this year. An indistinct plaid in the picture has a rather short skirt for the young person who likes this mode—a plain waist with round neck and three-quarter length sleeves. A wide belt looks well and fits nicely, cut on the bias of the goods. For embellishment there are flat pearl buttons set on the waist and skirt and a round pique collar. The other dress is made with a plain skirt and a coat with diagonal opening at the front. Its edges are piped with white pique, which also makes the shaped collar. Pockets cut on the bias, flat pearl buttons and pipings of white give this frock a neat finish. Chinese suggestions are worked out effectively in many of the newest negligee garments. One model recently displayed appeared to be an exact replica of the costume of a Chinese lady. It consisted of a plaited skirt and loose-fitting jacket of black satin, the latter embroidered in dull blues and greens. --- MADAM C. J. WALKER. President of the Madam C. J.
