LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY FIFTY MAJOR OPERATIONS AT TUCKEGEE SURGICAL CLINICS Third Annual Session of Clinical Society and Ninth Annual Clinic of John A. Andrew Hospital Third Annual Session of Clinical Society and Ninth Annual Clinic of John A. Andrew Hospital VOL. XXVI. FIFTY MAJOR OF TUCKEGEE SU Third Annual Session and Ninth Annu A. Andrew TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.— The third annual session of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society with the ninth annual clinic of the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital of Tuskegee Institute, Ala. was held Monday, April 26th, to Thursday, April 29th. The meeting was attended by 100 of the most representative physicians and surgeons, dentists and pharmacists of the Negro race of this country. The outstanding feature of the occasion was the surgical clinic which has grown from year to year until now it assumed large and satisfactory proportions. The clinical society was organized in 1918 with twenty-six members. In 1919 the membership increased to fifty-two, and in 1920 the enrollment snowed 100 members. Program of Session. On Monday the entire day was allotted to examining and treating patients from the community and Macon County. A large number of patients presented themselves for treatment, coming in buggies, in wagons, on horseback, on muleback, and many walked in order to avail themselves of the presence and skill of these distinguished physicians and surgeons. Tuesday morning, promptly at 7:30 as scheduled, the surgical clinic opened. Thirteen operations for a variety of conditions and complaints, the greater proportion being of the major type, were performed. At 4 o'clock was held the scientific session. These were rendered and discussed, dealing largely with surgery. The surgical clinic was reopened Wednesday morning at 7:30. Two and three tables were constantly in operation until 6 p. m. Twenty major operations were performed. In addition to this number, several emergency cases were brought in and immediate attention was given to these. Another group of operations was performed Thursday, bringing the total number of operations performed at this session to fifty. All of the patients are doing well and showing bright prospects for recovery. A feature of this session was the public exercises which were held in connection with the Alabama Medical, Dental and Pharmaceutical Association, in session here at this time, in the Institute Chapel. Interesting and instructive addresses were delivered on tuberculosis, Negro health and longevity. Dr. Moton Welcomed Doctors. Dr. Robert R. Moton, in welcoming the society, said: "We are always glad to have the doctors in our midst, as we feel that it means the alleviation of much suffering in our community and in the surrounding communities." The trustees of the institution, who were holding the annual trustee meeting, showed special interest in the clinical meeting. The spectacle of this body of Negro professional men at work was interesting, instructive and a source of inspiration to them. During the nine years which these clinics have been held only one case has been lost, which was operated on by any member of this society. The people who receive treatment are poor people who have no funds and would not otherwise receive proper medical attention. These men pay their own expenses to render this service in order to alleviate suffering and to lower the death rate. The following states were represented at this session: Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Kentucky, Tennessee, West Virginia, Ohio, New York and Texas. "JIM CROW" LAW HELD VALID. According to Decision Rendered by United States Supreme Judges. Washington, D. C., April 22.—The power of a state to enact and enforce a "Jim Crow" law that applies to street railway traffic between that state and another state that does not have a Jim Crow law was unheld by a majority decision of the United States Supreme Court in a Kentucky case. The Supreme Court in two decisions handed down by Justice McKenna, affirmed the lower court in the cases in which the South Covington and Cincinnati Street Railway Company and the Cincinnati, Covington and Erlanger Railway Company were the appellants. The South Covington and Cincinnati Street Railway Company and the Cincinnati, Covington and Erlanger Company, one of its offshoots, resisted the statute of Kentucky, which required them to operate separate coaches for Negroes. The companies set up the claim that their business is essentially interstate in character; that the Kentucky Jim Crow law as applied to them is a burden on interstate commerce and consequently violative of the federal constitution. The majority opinion of the Supreme Court, which was handed down by Justice McKenna, sustains the legality of the state Jim Crow law as applied to a situation of this kind. It says: "An interurban railroad company, deriving its powers from the state and subject to legislation under the laws of the state, should not be permitted to exercise the powers given by the state and escape its obligations to the state under the circumstances presented by this record by running its coaches beyond the state lines." A minority of the Supreme Court, composed of Justices Day, Vandeventer and Pitney, dissented from the majority. The dissenting opinion was read by Justice Day. The minority held that the state Jim Crow law as applied to these companies is "an unreasonable regulation and burdensome to interstate commerce, and therefore beyond the power of the state." Referring to the South Covington and Cincinnati Street railway company the minority opinion says that 80 per cent of its travel is interstate; that not over 6 per cent of the passengers DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 15, 1920 State Hist. & Nat Hist 500 State House ABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S it transports are colored, and on many trips there are no colored passengers at all. It also says: "The attachment of the additional car on the Kentucky side on so short a journey would burden interstate tical operation of that traffic." CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS The A. M. E.

C.—Two distinguished educators of more than national reputation, Dr. Albert Bushnell Hart, Eaton professor of the science of government in Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., and Dr. Charles R. Brown, dean of the school of theology, Yale University, New Haven, Conn., have been elected to membership upon the Board of Trustees of Howard University. Thus two of the oldest and most famous of American educational institutions become linked in interest and sympathy with the "Greater Howard" reconstruction movement. Dr. Hart was present at the inauguration of Dr. Durkee as president of Howard University and delivered one of the notable addresses upon that occasion. Dean Brown attended the annual convocation recently held at Howard and spoke twice to interested groups of educators gathered from all parts of the country, and to the officers, teachers and students of the university. These splendid additions to the Board of Trustees, together with the recent nomination of Colonel Theodore Boosevelt of Oyster Bay, N. Y., indicate that Howard is indeed adding to her already strong Board of Trustees a group of dynamic forces to help her establish her claim to recognition as a university truly national. Howard Assisting U. S. Treasury Thrift Movement. Washington, D. C.—Mr. William Mather Lewis, director of the War Savings Stamps Organization of the U. S. Treasury Department, and Mrs. Charlotte Eldridge, field director of the District of Columbia War Savings Stamps Organizztion, addressed the officers, teachers and students of Howard University recently, bringing to their attention the significance of the thrift movement which has been put under way by the U.

She will also do some work in sociology Prof. Thomas W. Turner, acting dean of the School of Education, and professor of applied biology, will continue research in vegetation physiology at Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. This particular lipe of research has large agricultural significance, and for this reason the United States Department of Agriculture has given himample facilities in the last few years for carrying on investigation in its laboratories. Also because of the important bearing which these investigations have in the field of agriculture, the department sent him to the Northern Maine experimental laboratory,where better facilities were offered for carrying on his investigations in connection with the sterility of the white potato. Prof. Turner will give attention, while at Cornell next year,also to "education," particularly "agricultural education." Prof. George W.Hines, assistant professor in the School of Commerce and Finance,will attend the University of Washington at Seattle. His major work will be incorporation finance, while he will also take certain studies in accounting and bus'ness organization. The university trustees have generously voted a substantial portion of the yearly salaries received by these professors along with the year's absence.

Columbus, Ohio.—When Bert Williams, the famous funmaker of Ziegfeld Follies, was in Columbus a short time ago, members of the Columbus Democratic Glee Club waited upon him with the request that he allow them to use at their minstrel show which was to be given at the Tartman his popular "When the Moon Shines on the Moonshine." The song fits in perfectly with their show. "You're welcome to it," said Bert, "if you can get it. But you know it has never been published." But that made no difference to the glee club. There is a victoria record of the song made by Bert himself, and that was all they needed. A stenographer and a musician were obtained and they went to the music store where they had the record played at funeral dirge time. While the stenographer wrote down the words the musician was writing the music. This done, the words and music were turned over to William J.

Hill, who was recently returned to this state from Kansas on a charge of being connected in some way with the alleged uprising, should not be tried in this section of the country, the prejudiced whites here caused the editor to be summoned before Judge J. M. Jackson and ordered him to give reason why he should not be held for contempt of court. Great excitement prevailed when the issue reached the streets and it is said Freeman had to guard himself against threatened attacks. The article appearing in the paper also praised Governor Allen of Kansas for refusing to honor the requisition of Governor Brough of this state for Hill's return to Phillips county. NEW ORLEANS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AIDS COLORED CITIZENS DEVELOPMENT New Orleans, La., April 29.—The general manager of the New Orleans Association of Commerce, in speaking recently of the association's plans for aiding Negro development, said: "After a series of conferences we had the local Negro leaders undertake to organize 'the Colored Civic League of New Orleans.' The main object of this league is to promote the economic betterment of the colored race. It has no connection with an outside organization, and the scope of its work will be purely local, such as the betterment of housing conditions, promotion of same racial propaganda, operation of an employment agency, to make the 'floater' as producer, and to educate the Negro race as its development of the South.

Krauter, a wealthy real estate man, was shot and killed in his home in Chicago. A clumsy effort to make the crime appear one brought about as the result of a detected robbery was made by the perpetrators. Two wills, one of which made Krauter's wife and stepson beneficiaries, and one which is now missing, figure in the mystery, which is being probed by picked detectives.

Reports received by the State Immigration Department from county assessors in 13 counties, covering schedules from approximately 2,400 farmers, indicate that there will be a slight increase in the total acreage of land cultivated in the state this year, though there will be decreases, apparently, in the acreage devoted to some of the principal crops. The largest increases appear to be in the acreage devoted to corn, sorghum, rye and spring wheat. There is apparently a small decrease in the acreage devoted to winter wheat and potatoes, and a more marked decrease in the acreage devoted to beans. The reports so far received show a very considerable amount of raw land being put in cultivation this year in the nonirrigated districts, though in some districts much of the land that was farned last year is being allowed to lie fallow because of shortage of farm labor. THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Revised figures compiled by the State Immigration Department from the records of the State Tax Commission for use in the Colorado Year Book show that the total assessed valuation of property in Colorado on which 1920 taxes are being paid is $1,498,663,128.

THE FILM "THE WALKING DEAD" BY MARY MAYER, AUGUST 1930. Under the title "High, Low and the Game," Edwin L. Sabin, in MoToR, the national magazine of motoring, writes most entertainingly and helpfully of transcontinental motoring and what preparations the prospective tourist should make to insure a safe and pleasant voyage. "Tires?" questions the author, and answers: "Any driver who starts out equipped with less than a complete outfit of the best new casings that his money will buy gives a hostage to fortune. This may sound a bit extravagant, but I'll leave the decision stranded with two bare rims and a family upon the desert 100 miles from any supply station, or to the supposedly experienced traveling man who had been working for 12 hours at a dobe shack trying to adjust a bor- rowed 33 straight side casing on a clincher wheel, while awaiting suction from a 50-miles-distant garage." Spade Is Handy Tool. Gently insinuating that the transcontinental motorist may possess have to remove a bit of soil on its surface, our author continues: "Spade Man, man! Don't forget your wrist for the love of Mike, don't for a short-handled spade and a couple boards, likewise a slab or two which to base the jack. Where the are miles and miles of sand and sand gravel, and six inches of either appl just right will stall a car till the growins in waste places, it appears otic to advise overlanders to pass spade and adjuncts.

PAINTING WITH OILCAN DEVICE Homemade Outfit Similar to One Shown in Illustration Makes Job Very Easy. IS DIFFICULT WITH BRUSH When Working on Radiator Place Piece of Paper in Position to Protect Engine and Prevent Spattering Brass Finish. Painting an automobile radiator quickly and thoroughly with a brush is difficult. A homemade spraying outfit similar to the one shown in the illustration made the job easy. Make-Up of Outfit. The outfit consists of a one-half-gallon oil can, made into an atomizer by attaching a tire pump to the end of the pipe B. A piece of small brass pipe, A, was mounted in one side of the can, the upper end of it extending a short distance outside of the top. A second piece of pipe was mounted in a horizontal position in the top of the can, as shown at B. If a handle is attached to the can, as at C, the piece of pipe B may pass through it lengthwise and extend a short distance beyond the end of the handle. Both pipes were soldered to the top of the can, and the screw top was provided with a gasket to make it tight. Working of Pump. When the air is forced through the horizontal tube B and caused to pass across the opening in the upper end of the vertical tube A, the liquid in the can is drawn up and forced out in a fine spray.

Spade Is Handy Tool. Gently insinuating that the transcontinental motorist may possibly have to remove a bit of soil on occasion, our author continues: "Spade! Man, man! Don't forget your wife, but for the love of Mike, don't forget a short-handled spade and a couple of boards, likewise a slab or two upon which to base the jack. Where there are miles and miles of sand and shifty gravel, and six inches of either applied just right will stall a car till the grass grows in waste places, it appears idiotic to advise overlanders to pack a spade and adjuncts. Nevertheless a man there was—from Wyoming, too of all ranges, who seized upon that spade as a great invention." FOR REMOVING CARBON. Carbon may be removed from the automobile engine cylinder by means of a carbon flame, without injuring the mechanism, if the following precautions, suggested by the department of agricultural engineering of the Nebraska college of agriculture, are observed: The radiator must be filled with water to keep the cylinder walls and valves cool. Both valves must be closed and the piston placed at the top of the cylinder to confine the oxygen in the combustion chamber. If compressed air is at hand after burning out the carbon, the engine may be turned over until the exhaust valve is open and a jet of air introduced into the cylinder to blow out all loose particles of carbon which would prevent the valves from seating properly and thus impair compression. --- FOR APPLYING TIRE CHAINS Never Use Tool to Draw Them So Tight That They Cannot Creep—Casing Is Weakened. In applying tire chains never use a tool to draw them so tight that they cannot creep. If the cross gulp cannot move to a new position on the tread every time it touches the ground it soon cuts deeply into the rubber, and then fabric, seriously weakening the strength of the casing. AUTOMOBILE NEWS More tires are prematurely destroyed through under-inflation than from any other cause. It is now conceded that a satisfactory heater is an essential feature of motorcar equipment. A constant check of the air pressure is one of the secrets of big automobile tire mileage. The glossy finished leather substitute upholstery is better than the dull finished, the latter being prone to crack or lose its coloring material through friction. End play in the crankshaft is apt to first be noticed when the car is throttled down to around five miles per hour, when so-called buckling will take place, accompanied by knocking. Do not neglect the lubrication of the spring shackles. Rust often clogs up the small vents and keeps out the oil. By using common kerosene occasionally these holes will be kept open. * * * * An emergency trick for oiling a spring is to go over it with kerosene, wiping off the dirt as you do so, and guiding the kerosene down the sides so that it will run in between the leaves. THE AMERICAN LEGION Copy for This Department Supplied by National Headquarters of the American Legion HE ANSWERS THE LETTERS H. E. Ludloff is Placed in Charge of Department to Handle American Legion Correspondence. In view of the many inquiries received at national headquarters of the American Legion, and the many letters received from posts and members regarding questions of policy, it was found necessary to organize a department to handle the correspondence. H. E. Ludloff, formerly of Baltimore, was placed in charge of this work. H. E. Ludloff. Mr. Ludloff, prior to the war, was with the Maryland Casualty Co. of Baltimore for twelve years, leaving the position of office manager to enter the service. He was originally with the Seventy-ninth division, but was detached for service with the War Risk section, where he did special work, first under Willard O. Straight, and later under Col. Henry D. Lindsley, who later became first commander of the legion. Col. Lindsley was instrumental in getting Mr. Ludloff to assist in the work of the American Legion when in its formative state. Mr. Ludloff was born in Baltimore September 10, 1889, and received his education there. He worked up from the position of office boy to the position of business manager with the Maryland Casualty company during his twelve years' connection with the firm. He was a regimental sergeant major in the service. SHOULD GET ONE MEMBER Activity on Part of Service Men During the Drive Will Bring Number to 2,500,000. "If every member of the American Legion gets one new member during or before the drive of May 17 to 22, the legion will have more than two and a half million bone fide, paid-up members," said National Commander Franklin D'Olier, commenting on the coming campaign. "This campaign is to be the work of the rank and file—of every man in the legion," Mr. D'Olier continued. "We have assurances now that every post and every man is enthusiastic for the success of this work. The legion felt it didn't have all the members it should have. It has not had time to go after them before. But it has the time now and it has put it up to every member to work. They are responding with wonderful spirit. "It is easy to believe that an average of one new member will be obtained by every old member. I do not want to get too enthusiastic and optimistic over this campaign, but I believe a few more weeks will see the legion with more than a majority of all former service men enrolled." National headquarters of the legion has sent out a working plan to every post, so that uniformity of effort will be obtained in the drive. Every department has been assigned its quota of new members and the departments have parceled these out to posts. If a post gets all of its quota, it ranks 100 per cent efficient. Departments also will be graded in efficiency by national headquarters. First and second prizes will be awarded departments by national headquarters and many departments will award prizes to posts within their jurisdiction. "Exclusiveness" in the Legion. National Commander Franklin D'Ollier of the American Legion, speaking at the City club in Philadelphia recently, coined a phrase which promises to be one of the strong pulling slogans of the American Legion membership drive May 17-22. "Only about one American in twenty," said he, "is privileged to join the American Legion. A man isn't just one in a million when he joins the legion. He is one in twenty." It Pays to Be Good. It is cheaper to be a good American than a bad one. Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the American Legion, who is directing the membership drive to be held the week of May 17-22, points out that for $3 a year a man can belong to the American Legion, while it costs $6 to belong to the I. W. W., not including fines. The I. W. W. member, however, is at little expense to himself while in jail. School Children Are Helping. School children are expected to prove able workers in the American Legion membership drive May 17-22. Already the youngsters are "riding" the boys at home who are eligible and asking them why they are not in the legion. They have to think hard to tell why they are not. PREACH TO GET MEMBERS Ministers to Aid in Bringing the American Legion Family Number to 2,500,000. Some one at the national headquarters with a flair for statistics has figured out that four thousand sermons on the American Legion will be delivered in churches all over the land on Sunday, May 16. Part of the work of posts of the legion in the membership campaign to be waged May 17 to 22 inclusive, has been to enlist the support of clergymen of all creeds. They have been requested to at least make mention of the legion in their sermons of the Sunday preceding the drive. Many rabbits have signified their intention of doing this in sermons delivered Saturday, May 15. It has not been hard to win the support of these clergymen, because the vast majority already are enthusiastic legion supporters. One minister of a prominent and fashionable New York city church fairly leaped at the suggestion. He declared he would not only preach an entire sermon urging eligible parishioners to join, but would call on every man and woman to lend active aid in the campaign in some way. He insisted he was going to roll up his shirt-sleeves and get into the campaign himself, even going so far as volunteering to speak from a soap-box in Union square. Legion leaders expect to get one million new members, at least. This would bring total membership well above the two and a half million mark and would assure the legion a majority of the former service men and women of the land. The drive is entirely a post and member affair—"a campaign of the rank and file." Posts are assigned quotas to reach and will be graded on percentage of efficiency. Departments also will be so graded. National headquarters will give first and second prizes, consisting of stands of colors, to leading departments. ALL IN ON MAY 17-22 DRIVE General Public Persists in Manifesting Friendly Interest in Boosting the Membership. Men at national headquarters of the American Legion are gratified at the wide interest in the forthcoming drive of the legion for new members, by persons in all walks of life. The campaign will be held May 17-22, inclusive. Although the drive is entirely an organization affair and will be handled by individual posts and members, the general public has refused to be kept out and persists in manifesting friendly interest. "Every day we see evidences of this friendship of the great American public for the American Legion," said National Adjutant Lemuel Bolles. "We counted on this friendship when we organized for this campaign and every post has appointed a citizen's committee to co-operate with the post drive committee. The way citizens have responded is wonderful. Men of all walks of life, clergymen, teachers, labor leaders, bankers, have united to help the legion attain its goal of at least a million new paid-up members. "The women have been particularly friendly. Housewives have sensed that the legion is the great national force for security of the home and the country's solid institutions and they are rallying to help us. A man a eligible to belong to the legion has had no peace of mind until he sought out a post and put up his dues and came in. "Besides, the women know about the woman's auxiliary of the legion and that no woman can belong unless her men kin-folks belong to the legion." Mr. Bolles was authority for the statement that this legion drive will set a new mark in enthusiasm for campaigns in the United States. Parsing a Legion Booster. General Pershing is a private in that great army for better Americanism, the American Legion, where rank and titles are non-existent. Apropos of the legion membership drive, held the week of May 17-22, the former C-in-C says: "I earnestly hope every man who wore the uniform of the fighting services in the war will affiliate himself with the American Legion and strive for the highest realization of the ideals for which that great organization stands." Every Member Instructed. Every member of the American Legion, which will hold a nation-wide membership drive May 17-22, has been instructed in a Primer of Legion facts and a Catechism of Legion questions and answers. It is expected that with the use of this data, plus natural enthusiasm, every member will get at least one new member. This would bring legion membership above the two and a half million mark. Old Veterans as Boosters. Nine G. A. R. veterans, the entire enrollment of a small Nebraska village, came in a body to post headquarters of the American Legion and demanded they be allowed to take part in the campaign for membership, May 17-22. The oldest was 78 and served with Sherman on his march to the sea. The nine seemed to favor the idea of making speeches at a mass meeting and were enrolled for this purpose. Illinois Now Has 50,000. The paid-up membership of the American Legion in Illinois is now reported to be more than 50,000. A man is sitting in a chair and looking at a camera.

Entered as second-class matter at the postoffice in the City of Denver, Colo. SIX-YEAR TERM FOR PRESIDENT. FOR many years the idea of a single six-year term for the President of the United States has been thoroughly discussed and every recurring election brings the subject into the arena of discussion. When President Taft occupied the White House he advocated the change strongly and gave many sound reasons for his position on the matter. That four years are not sufficient for a president of this country to accomplish his work can hardly be disputed by anyone familiar with our government. Four years pass away quickly, and a president has hardly had time to make his important appointments before he is called upon to stand for re-election. This is a big country with a still bigger business to attend to, and it takes considerable time, routine and red tape to enact and transact our government business. The plan, if adopted, will stimulate and keep steady business longer than any other legislation that could be enacted by the people or Congress. As it is, every four years business is upset, money is tied up and everything is at a standstill until after the election, or perhaps until after the new president is inaugurated and the country has heard him declare his future policy. Mr. Bryan, the great Democratic leader, once proposed what we think was a wise suggestion to people in utilizing the great experience and influence of all ex-presidents by making them members-at-large of Congress for life at a commensurate salary. We know of no greater benefit to the country than such a plan would bring by utilizing the ripe experience of our ex-presidents. It would add dignity to our Congress and give it greater balance than at present, and perhaps more could be accomplished by their presence. This may seem radical and extreme, but we predict that it will come. We regret that time and space will not permit us to discuss this important question at length at this time. THE HIGH COST OF LIVING. NEVER in the history of the country have there been so many investigations, both by the state and the general government, in regard to the high cost of living and the high prices of food, and fuel and still the sky-rocketing of prices goes merrily on. It seems that everyone is money mad or wild with greed. Where will such madness lead us and when will it all end? The carpenters struck a few days ago for $9.00 per day and won, and today sugar is 16c per pound, and only 2 pounds can be bought at a time. Potatoes are as high in proportion. Increase in the price of labor means a jump in the prices of food, fuel and clothing and if there is to be no end to the jumping of prices we will soon see labor at $20 per day, and sugar of $1 per pound. The government is weak and wabbly and unable to function or else it would take hold of the situation with a firm hand and force the prices of food, fuel and clothing down and then the price of labor would necessarily have to follow suit. Think of coal today standing from $7.80 to $14.75 per ton—the most unreasonable, extortionate prices ever dreamed of, yet the government acquiesces in the holdup. Such pernicious, greedy protiteering practices will inevitably lead to revolution. The country today is absolutely lacking in stability. There is no certainty in anything and the administration is like a sick man unable to steady himself. The nation needs some one strong enough and great enough to get in front of the mad throng and command a "Halt!" There must come an end to the mad orgy of spending and profiteering. It is the most dangerous thing that has befallen us as a result of the war. The government is solely to blame for this curse that is upon us. It began with the war and wages and prices were boosted first by the government and we were made to believe and stand for it on account of the war. Now the war is over and the government seems powerless to put on the brakes. And we predict that things will go on and on until the inauguration of the next President. Then, if we can elect the right kind of a man he will pass the word down the line and things will become normal once more. We make the assertion that things could be righted now within sixty days, but politics have blinded the eyes of some of our statesmen. Oh, for a change. EXTRAVAGANCE. CONSERVATION of natural resources was a subject of large prominence and general discussion not long ago, but now we hear little of it. We should not take it for granted, however, that the principle raised and so widely discussed and aimed particularly at the nation's wastefulness, through the neglect or oversight of its people, has been laid aside or forgotten. It is too well founded in truth for that. We should better understand that the principle has been thoroughly established and generally accepted, for now the suspicion that a publical is careless of the public interest, present or future, in the matter of saving the natural resources of wealth and of thereby guarding the interests of future generations, is sufficient to bring down upon his head the wrath and condemnation of all the people. Public waste, either by neglect or carelessness, is looked upon as a sin against the welfare of the people and a wanton sacrifice of the advantages upon which their prosperity and progress depend. And not only is the principle becoming fixed in public life, but it is being injected into every form of business enterprise to such an extent that expert managers and supervisors, who have learned how to diligently apply the principles of the conservation of relative forces for the improvement of business and an increased output, with relative profits, without waste of energy or increase of cost, are greatly in demand. It is merely the expression of the principle of scientific saving. But it has a vast meaning to nation and individual. Its immediate benefits will be plainly recognized, but the greater volume thereof will find its realization in richer and stronger generations to follow those which now inaugurate it. It is a wise and beautiful exemplification of loyalty to country and race. That is the most interesting part of it as we now observe it and study its natural and unalterable results. The colored American is woefully wasteful in nearly all of his fixed habits. He is especially wasteful of his means and energies, his time and opportunities, which constitute his chief stock in trade. It is a common boast with us that "we live well;" and we do live exceptionally well for a people who are classified as poor. As a race we are slaves to our appetites and our passions for pleasure and display. Most of us eat more than is necessary to keep us well and strong, and then we waste much that ought to be saved and used. An orderly, limited diet is quite unknown to our ordinary wage-earners who, as a rule, will "skimp" every other expense to overload their table or to entertain. And our children are raised and tutored with those notions of unrestricted appetites and strained indulgences always before them. From the poorest of us up it is a racial weakness. In only a few households is the virtue and the necessity of saving—everlasting saving—consistently taught. We do not care for the future of the race if it costs us the sacrifice of good eating and good times. Our appetites and the false standards of society make the sacrifice seem impossible, and that is just what every other people have had to do—limit their appetites, conserve their powers and save, save. That is what every race that is making solid headway and permanent advancement is doing now. True race progress means a building up for the future generations by a saving of present means. There is no other way. Leaving our children to get along and do as we have done, is for the race to stand still. Taxes on Corporations Should Be Repealed and Entire Incomes Taxed. If the world war has not been fought in vain, then benefits will accrue to posterity by reason of the sacrifices of the present generation. Is it not reasonable then that posterity should bear some of the financial burden arising out of the war? PETER H. The country is being injured by the present unjust and confiscatory tax laws which should be revised at once. The time for retiring the war debt should be extended. The government should be conducted on a sound economical business basis. The annual budget should be cut to the minimum that taxes might be reduced to a point where they would cease to curb productive energy. As the income of the individual must, in the last analysis, bear all the taxes, the laws should be revised so as to tax directly that income at rates which will raise the necessities of a minimum federal budget. This means that the taxes on corporations should be repealed, for a corporation is just a group of people, many of them of small means, who are being taxed unjustly through their share of their corporation's profits being taxed at high rates. If the tax was placed on the entire income of every individual, then no income would escape taxation. None would be taxed more than once and it could all be taxed once and equitably. This ideal situation is now reached with respect to individuals in business and private individuals, also individuals conducting business in partnership. If corporations are permitted to retain a limited portion of their earnings for capital requirements, which seems necessary, practical difficulties make it seem unwise to tax the stockholders in general on these earnings which they do not actually receive. A graduated tax on the undistributed earnings of corporations would be the practical solution of the question and should be at rates that would encourage distribution of dividends. Should the business need additional capital and the stockholders so desire, reinvestment could be made after meeting the tax obligations. We Must Begin by Making It Possible for the Farmer to Handle the Job. Money and credits should be mobilized and swung to the weakest place in our whole economic program and put behind the farmer in sufficient amount as he goes to his summer's work, to make it possible for him to make good on the task we have laid upon him. Our government, through the operation of the federal banks and the joint stock land banks, can do much by way of extending credit for long time at low rates. But it remains for the country banker to use these long time credit facilities of the government so that he may always have ready and ample funds with which to meet the short time credit demands of the farmer and other legitimate demands of his community. Greater production in all lines is urged by statesmen and economists. Financiers are admonished that every available American dollar should be turned into productive channels. But if we are to increase the nation's output of essential products we must begin by making it possible for the farmer to handle the job we have cut out for him. Otherwise, not only will there be a shortage of food and clothing, but there will be also stagnation in many related industries. So, let's get behind the farmer. We cannot escape the unpleasant fact that millions of American women today seem to be simply fashion mad. They are nothing else but slaves to "style." Women are complaining today of the "double standard of morals," and they do right to complain; but in heaven's name let them be consistent, and not by their mode of dressing, their dances, and other follies unconsciously foster the very double standard of morals which they so righteously denounce. A fossilized octogenarian or a self-complacent mollycoddle with ice water in his veins may be able to look at the sights which any man can see in modern society today, and in the dance hold in his arms a throbbing, beautiful young woman with almost half her body exposed and the other half clothed largely with good intentions—such a man, I say, under these circumstances may maintain a philosophical calm, but any young fellow with red blood in his veins and the elemental forces of nature operating in him cannot easily do so. "We Have the Best Form of Government; We Need Not Be Afraid of It." By W. L. HARDING, Governor of Iowa. In my opinion the best government is the one that governs least. We must get back to government conditions as they existed before the war. We must localize government. The best way to tackle our economic unrest and to meet the reds in their attempt to Russianize America is to carry on an aggressive campaign of education, telling the people of our institutions and the rights and privileges of the individual citizen under our form of government.

If peaceable citizens ce- travel without being victimized by menace to society, we will have to vide means by which our women find ample protection from thugs. Mesdames Lucinda Giles, Orna Titsworth and Ruth Massingale left for Los Angeles this week for an indefinite stay. Joseph Taylor of 2222 Glenarm place, who has been quite sick with influenza for several weeks, is able to be out. Mrs. Victor Walker, daughter, Mrs. Irene Craft, and little grandson arrived Wednesday from Chicago. Ascension Day services of Hiram Commandery No. 20, Knights Templar, Sunday, May 16th, 2:30 p. m., at Shorter Chapel. Friends invited. Rev. I. S. Wilson officiating.

Harris of the Cammel Undertaking Co. has received the sad news of the death of his stepfather, Mr. Clark of Indianapolis, Ind., Thursday, May 13th. N. H. Hicks made a trip to the ranch at Dearfield this week and intends to bring some of his best bred hogs to market. Buyers are already on the lookout. Mr. Wm. McElroy, who recently arrived from St. Louis, Mo., has opened a cleaning and pressing establishment and will also operate a line of taxicabs. We are glad to welcome business men from other cities. Frank Osborne of 3544 Tennyson, who has been quite ill since the 17th of last month, is improving slowly. His sister, Miss Lizzie Osborne, arrived in the city Tuesday morning from Washington, D. C., to be at his bedside. Walter Pritchett, whose automobile was stolen for the second time, was in high glee over its location early in the week, and by this time has regained possession of it. "Automobile specialists" in this line possibly have an admiration for this machine, which Mr. Pritchett estimates very highly. Chaplain Oscar J. Scott of the U. S. army, formerly pastor of Shorter A. M. E. church, will arrive in Denver on May 28th from St. Louis, where he has been attending the A. M. E. general conference. His many friends will be glad to welcome him. Mrs. Scott will accompany him. Mr. A. J. Howard has purchased the stock of groceries of the old Colored Mercantile Co., which went into the hands of a receiver recently, and he and his wife will operate at the same old stand with a new stock of groceries. Welcome to our city, Mr. Howard, and may great success attend you in your business. Miss Myra Glenn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. W. Glenn, 2531 Welton street, will be presented in piano recital next Thursday at Shorter A. M. E. church. Miss Glenn is a leading factor in church and musical circles among the younger set, and from her training under Mrs. Nettie Herndon, one of our leading piano instructors in the city, we hope for a very successful exhibition of our talented little lady and a large attendance to witness her performance. Mrs. L. E. Richardson, 2543 Humboldt, wife of our popular barber, G. Richardson, was brutally assaulted last week; Thursday evening, as she left the main office of the Western Union Telegraph Company after sending a telegram. Mrs. Richardson was in the performance of an act of kindness, having been called to the home of a Mrs. Rolley, who was found dead, and after returning and sending a telegram informing relatives, was held up by two white men on Seventeenth street between the telegraph office and Champa street. She was first jostled by them on the sidewalk and then struck on the back of the head as she passed them. She had a large wound on the back of her head, and after she was restored to consciousness was helped to her feet by some men when the crowd gathered. She remained in bed for several days under the care of Dr. Westbrook, and at present is much improved. We offer our sympathy over this unfortunate incident and trust that the police vigilance will help to hinder such occurrences in the future. If peaceable citizens cannot travel without being victimized by this menace to society, we will have to provide means by which our women will find ample protection from thugs. MME. JONES MAKES HIT AT D. A. C. CONCERT. At the last concert of the season of the Denver Athletic Club, Sunday, May 9th, Mme. Lillian Jones made her debut before the club and received much praise and applause in her rendition of Negro spiritual songs. Mme. Jones is one of the most popular colored singers of the West. ANNUAL SERMON, G. U. O. O. F. The annual sermon of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows was held at Shorter A. M. E. Church on last Sunday afternoon to a large audience of the members and many visitors and friends. Rev. I. S. Wilson delivered the sermon and was at his best, and everyone present was highly pleased with his able and practical sermon, which was very beneficial to all. WE ARE NOT SO NARROW. A telephone call on Monday last in which we were accused of an intentional omission in publishing the name of Mrs. Parthenia George as a delegate to the state convention. Pueblo, leads us to conclude that there are some of us who still entertain the margin of narrowness as to make unfair allegations unnecessarily. Why we would publish the other names and not Mrs. George's (looking at it her way) is not feasible to the broad-thinking individual, as we are of the same Republican political faith, and surely it would come with much grace for us to publish or advertise her name so that the Denver public might feel elated over her choice and prepare to endorse her in the primary. We trust the wrong impression will be removed and our worthy delegate will feel that the COLORADO STATESMAN is a little broader than she thinks. PUSHING AHEAD. The Denver Colored Civic Association met in regular session last Tuesday evening at 8 p. m. at the Odd Fellows' hall, and a most enthusiastic and interesting meeting was held. Mr. O. L. Lawson led the discussion on the subject of the daylight saving, which was very eloquently and ably presented, after which the members took up the discussion, which was very lively. There were many members present to hear the reports of the committees and the interesting current events that are taking place in the world. The subscription pledge of $100 to the Presbyterian Hospital fund was heartily subscribed to by many members. Several new members were added to the association and plans were discussed looking toward securing a permanent home for the association. Altogether the members are much encouraged and determined to keep forging ahead. The idea of the Civic League of Denver is being largely adopted by the colored citizens of many of our progressive cities. PULLMAN PORTERS' BENEFIT AS SOCIATION ANUAL SERVICES.

Washington and succeeded the noted Tuskegee wizard at the latter's death as president of the National Negro Business League. He is well known in educational circles, being a trustee of a number of leading schools, including Howard University. His address here is expected to give much information concerning the Negro and his progress hitherto unknown to the general public. It will be along lines of racial uplift The date will be announced later, it is stated. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD that there are a few real mean folks in Denver. Perhaps some of them are, but we name just a very, very few who are all good scouts. We shall name others later.

THE WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA NEWS. The jubilee concert given Wednesday evening, May 5th, for the benefit of the Second Baptist church, was good and highly complimented by the local newspapers of our city. $79.05 worth of tickets were sold. The money realized from this concert will be divided among the four clubs that are working in the Thousand Dollar Rally set for the fourth Sunday in June. The captains of these clubs are: Mrs. C. Simmons, Mrs. L, O. Gaither, Mrs. M. Earl and LaPort Alexander. The Oddfellows and Household of Ruth turned out Sunday afternoon in their annual thanksgiving service. Rev. J. T. Muse, being an Oddfellow himself, had the pleasure in preaching the thanksgiving sermon. Rev, J. M. Riddle, D. D., superintendent of mission for the Northern Baptist convention, spent Sunday with Rev. Muse and preached both morning and evening. In the morning, "Talent." At evening, "Prayer." Dr. Riddle is a most powerful and excellent speaker. Both sermons were inspiring and enjoyed by all. Pastor Muse was delighter in having the doctor with him, as well as the congregation. At the evening service the choir rendered splendid music. Mrs. M. Earl sang a lovely solo just before preaching. The male quartet sang a beautiful song. They are always there with the goods. Names as follows; J. H. Wilkinson, J. C. Corbett, LaPort Alexander and A Machen. A very timely little program was rendered by the B. Y. P. U. At 7 p. m. Mrs. J. T.

Muse were in Sacramento Friday of last week and visited with Rev. J. E. Allen, who is just recently from Hutchinson, Kan. The Baptist people think a great deal of Dr. Allen there and in hopes to hold him fast right there. Sacramento is the capital of the state and a splendid Baptist field, and the people think that Doctor Allen is the man for the place.

The idea of adopting scientific measurements as a basis of a system of weights and measures, was suggested as early as the seventeenth century, particularly by the French astronomer, Jean Picard, who lived from 1620 to 1682. The system was worked out and taken up by the national assembly of France in 1700. It was adopted and its use made compulsory in 1801. This store is now completely stocked with new spring merchandise—wearing apparel for Man-Woman-Boy or Girl; overstocked we would say, because this rich merchandise has accumulated during the recent sale and is now shown for the first time, at considerably reduced prices in order to relieve the congested condition of the store and restore the stocks to normal quantities.

Melt a tablespoonful of butter; add one-half cupful of grated cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Add salt and cayenne to the tomato and blend this mixture with the egg before adding the hot cheese. Remove from the heat as soon as the egg is stirred in and serve on slices of toasted rye bread. A normal salt solution is not absorbed and passes through the body in an hour or less, removing impurities in its wake. A cheap, wholesome and especially nutritious dish for growing children is whole wheat. Take it fresh from the granary, wash and soak over night then cook until it is reduced to a gelatinous mass. Serve with top milk and sugar. Enough of the wheat may be cooked for several days if kept in a cool place. There is something very appetizing about this dish; young and old ask for it again and again. Cheese and Celery Salad.—Cut crisp white bits of celery into small pieces sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve on lettuce with French dressing. Neeleie Maxwell Griddle cakes, muffins, gems and hot breads of various kinds are all popular breakfast breads BREAD BAKED IN DIFFERENT WAYS Whatever Method Is Used Resulting Loaf Should Be Appetizing and Wholesome. LARGEST SINGLE FOOD ITEM Some of Points Which Cause Failure Are Wrong Selection of Materials and Utensils—Essentials Are Urged by Specialists. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Bread is the largest single item of food in the diet of the great majority of people, and of the staple foods probably no other can be so easily spoiled in the preparation. Some women, after a few failures in bread making, give up the attempt and buy their bread. Very many of us are partial to home-made loaf. In many localities it is necessary to bake bread at home, in others it is a convenience, and in very many it is done from choice. It is not difficult to make good bread, and it is worth while to learn to do so. Some of the points which cause failure in bread making are the wrong choice of materials and utensils; lack of absolute cleanliness; carelessness in measuring the ingredients; poor methods of mixing and molding and improper care of the dough while it is rising; also wrong care of the bread while it is baking; or wrong care of the loaves after they are taken from the oven. The necessary materials for bread making are flour, water, salt, and yeast. The materials occasionally used are milk, sugar, and fat. Good wheat bread can be made by a number of processes. Three recommended by the United States department of agriculture food specialists follow: Short or Straight-Dough Process. 2 cups lukewarm $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup liquid yeast, milk, water or a mixture of the two. 1 cake compressed Fat, if used, 2 table- spoons or less. $ \frac{1}{2} $ cups lukewarm 6 cups or 3 pints milk, water or a sifted flour. mixture of the two. Original bulk of dough. 1 quart; bulk when ready to be made into loaves. $ 2 \frac{1}{2} $ to 3 quarts. This will make 2 loaves. Boil the water or scald the milk. Put the sugar and salt (and fat, if used) into a mixing bowl. Pour the hot liquid over it and allow it to become lukewarm. Mix the yeast with a little of the lukewarm liquid and add it to the rest of the liquid. If convenient, set this aside in a warm place, not over 86 degress Fahrenheit, for 1 hour; if not convenient to set it aside, add the flour at once, putting in a little at a time and kneading until the dough is of such consistency that it sticks neither to the bowl nor to the hands. This requires A child is playing with a toy. After the Baking Place Bread on a Rack in a Clean Place Where the Wind Can Blow on It. about 10 minutes. Cover, and allow to rise $1 \%$ hours at a temperature of 86 degrees; it may be better to set it at a lower temperature, but the lower the temperature the longer the time required for the rising. Cut down the dough from the sides of the bowl; grease the hands slightly. Knead a little and set aside to rise again for 1 hour. With a good bread flour, the dough should treble its bulk in each rising. With a soft wheat flour, it should not rise much beyond twice its volume. Divide into portions, mold, and place in greased pans of standard size (1½ quarts). Allow to rise until a light touch will make a slight dent. With good bread flour this happens when the dough reaches the top of the pans. Bake 50 minutes in a medium hot oven. Use the same proportions as for the short process, except in the case of the yeast, which should be one-eighth cake of compressed yeast, or 2 tablespoonfuls of liquid yeast for each loaf. Use water rather than milk. In the evening mix the yeast with water, salt, and half of the flour, and beat thoroughly. Cover and place at a temperature of 65 to 70 degress Fahrenheit, or that of an ordinary room. In the morning add the sugar and the rest of the flour and proceed as in the case of the short process. SUBSTITUTES DO NOT REPLACE FRESH EGGS Dish May Be Acceptable, but Food Value Is Not Same. Flour or Starch May Be Used to Give Same Appearance, but There Is a Great Difference in the Composition. Many housekeepers know it is possible, when eggs are lacking, to use other foods which will give something the same appearance as eggs. Flour or starch may be used to thicken custards or gelatin used in making an icing or a pudding. The dish may be acceptable, but the food value is not the same as if eggs were used, say home economics specialists of the United States department of agriculture. There are a number of commercial products designed as egg substitutes some of which approach eggs in composition much more nearly than others. Of these products, some are fairly well known to housekeepers while others are used chiefly in commercial baking and for similar purposes. The various kinds differ much in composition, some being much more like eggs in protein content and energy value than others. In judging such products one should not rely upon appearance. Yellow color does not necessarily indicate other egg yolk characteristics. Some of these egg substitutes, at least, are manufactured from skim milk and are said to contain milk casein and albumin mixed with a little flour. Such a product is evidently rich in protein. Other egg substitutes have been devised which consist of mixtures of animal or vegetable fats, albumin, and starch or flour. Goods have also been marketed for use as egg substitutes which contain little or no albumin, but which are apparently made up quite largely of starch, colored more or less with some yellow substance. They are commonly advertised for making custards and puddings similar in appearance to those in which fresh eggs are used. If the housekeeper wishes to use them she should not overlook the fact that in the diet they cannot replace fresh eggs, since they do not contain the same kind or quantity of nitrogenous matter, particularly if such an egg substitute is used in the diet of invalids or children in the belief that it contains the same nutrients as eggs. MAKE YOUR BROOMS AT HOME Machines by Which 25 to 30 Can Be Turned Out in Day Are Used in Some Communities. Well-made brooms command good prices, and in the southern states where broom corn grows well the home demonstration agents, under the supervision of the United States department of agriculture and the state colleges, are encouraging the growing of brush and the making of brooms. Alabama produces excellent broom corn, and the number of club girls in that state who are interested in this work is increasing. Broom machines by which 25 or 30 brooms can be turned out in a day are being bought in some of the communities where the work is well started. These are rented to the club members, who usually pay in brooms for the use of the machine. It costs about 20 cents to make a broom. When a girl has learned to make a perfect product she is allowed to use the label, "Home Demonstration Club Broom," on any she wishes to sell. Many of the club girls plan to pay college or normal school expenses with the proceeds from their broom work. GIVE FLIES FULL ATTENTION Little Labor With "Swatter" Now Will Reduce Greatly Number to Be Fought Later On. Give your full attention to the extermination of the flies that have hibernated all winter and are now commencing to buzz around, urges the United States department of agriculture. A little labor with a "fly swatter" now will reduce by hundreds if not thousands the number which must be combated this summer. Household Questions Keep track of the condition of your gas stove. Some form of salad should go with any kind of hot chicken. The nearer to the surface the eyes of a coconut are the fresher it is. In the household without a maid, a table wagon is a great *convenience. Baked bananas melted with cinnamon and powdered sugar are delicious. Raisins are said to be richer in mineral matter than any other dried fruit. Use a three-sided carpet needle—a straight one—for sewing on shoe buttons. A handful of chopped ham added to the soft dough of drop biscuits is savory and appetizing. A. HASER, Prop.

The farmer looked at the merchant and then said: "Why don't you patronise your home paper and advertise? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here." MORAL—ADVERTISE WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS Chemists Take a Wallop at Old H. C. L. Mystery Surrounds Russian "Embassy" Uncle Sam At War 100 Years Out of 145 India Now Fixes World Price of Silver India Now Fixes World Price of Silver WASHINGTON.—The cost of living is coming down millions of dollars. Yep! Delegates to the American Chemical society's recent convention gave their word for it. Here's what's going to do it: Lithaponepone. Tilaneum. Malic acid. Calcium magnesium. Charles L. Parsons, secretary of the society explains: Prohibition, in destroying the wine industry, also removed the supply of cream of tartar, which was extracted from deposits in wine casks. Chemists, however, have discovered a method by which malic acid is drawn from benzine and used as a substitute in the manufacture of baking powder. "Then, again, the chemist has kept "Then, again, the chemist has kept down the price of paint. "Successful experiments in tanning MYSTERY surrounds the $1,000,000 pile, known as the Russian embassy, on fashionable Sixth street. Gossip has it that behind those imposing walls poverty exists, that funds are running lower and lower. Tales are being told like that of a dentist bill which was paid with one of the fleet of automobiles formerly the personal property of the late czar of Russia. Antique furniture is being disposed of to pay expenses, it is said. What government do the present occupants of the embassy represent? Whence comes the money for its maintenance? Is it true that the state department is about to order them to get out of the embassy within a certain time? To none of these questions has a conclusive answer been given. It is known that an investigation is under way to determine who—what government or person or persons—is the owner of the embassy building. It used to belong to the czar—he personally held title to such Russian government buildings. But the czar has long been dead, it is believed. Does the building revert to the czar's personal heirs, or to the Russian government? And if the latter, what Russian government? These questions puzzle state department officials. HE HASN'T LOST MUCH TIME REVOLUTION WAR WITH FRANCE WITH TRIPOLI - ENGLAND - ALGERIE - MEXICO CIVIL WAR SPANISH WAR ARMED forces of the United States have been engaged in some sort of warfare during 100 years out of the past 145, or 69 per cent of the total time, according to figures presented to the house by Representative Kahn of California, chairman of the com- mittee on military affairs. "During the 145 years since the beginning of the American revolution in 1775, the United States has been engaged either in civil or foreign wars for almost 38 years, or 25 per cent of the time," said he. "We have had one year of such war for every three years of peace, considering the years of Indian warfare and minor disturbances as peace time. "The lengths of the peace periods THERE was expended in the United States last year $80,000,000 for gold ornaments, as against $51,000,000 in 1918 and $38,000,000 in 1915, declares Charles W. Henderson, statistician for the United States geological survey. This amounts to $21,000,000 more than the gold mines of the country produced last year, he says. In the first ten months of last year there was sold in Paris 7,200,000 pieces of gold and platinum jewelry and 23,300,000 silver pieces, as against 3,200,000 gold and platinum pieces and 17,000,000 silver pieces in 1913. The price of gold in France has increased from 3,400 francs per kilogram to 6,800 francs. Within the last few months the United States has secured 90 per cent of the gold and silver exports of the world, 250 coming to this country from Belgium, France, Germany and other countries. Malden Lane in New York hides of sharks, chemists assert, will assist in cutting the cost of leather goods. "About $1,000,000,000 in farm products have been lost each year because insecticides, made chiefly of lead compounds, were beyond the reach of the poorer farmers. "By Mr. Cottrell's discovery arsenic is recovered from smoke from copper smelters, and this has made it possible for chemists to substitute calcium magnesium for lead, reducing the cost of insecticides." A new fuel fluid of greater heat value per unit than either coal or fuel oil was described by Jerome Alexander, a New York chemist. The paper declared the new fuel utilizes coal waste and cheap tars, these ingredients being dispersed in fuel oil by colloidal action, and that the addition of a certain fixing agent, whose nature is kept secret, results in a fuel which combines the valuable qualities for heating of both oil and coal. Peat, lignite, cellulose waste, sawdust and similar inferior fuels may be utilized in the new process. It said that the new fuel could be piped, stored, and burned virtually as fuel oil is, and that as a fuel for steamships it is virtually double the value of either coal or present forms of fuel oil. The present incumbent of the embassy, Boris A. Bakhmetieff, came here as an ambassador from the Kerensky government, dispossessing George Bakhmetieff, who represented the czar. As there is no Kerensky government now, Boris is an "ambassador" without a government. And, needless to say, neither Kerensky nor his followers can maintain today such an expensive establishment. Kolchak and Denikine adherents are supposed to have supported the Bakhmetieff "embassy" for a time. The question was put baldly to one of the attaches: "What government do you represent?" "That is a long, complicated question," he evaded. He finally said they represented the "antibolshevik forces in Russia." during those 145 years are as follows: "The war of the Revolution to the war with France, fifteen years three months; the war with France to the war with Tripoll, nine months; war with Tripoll to the war with Great Britain seven years and one month; war with Great Britain to war with Algiers, Tunis and Morocco, about one year; war with Algiers, Tunis and Morocco to war with Mexico, about thirty years and six months; war with Mexico to Civil war, twelve years and ten months; Civil war to war with Spain, thirty-one years and eight months; Philippine insurrection to Cuban pacification, four years and three months; Cuban pacification to Nicaraguan expedition, three years and five months; Nicaraguan expedition to Vera Cruz expedition, six months; Vera Cruz expedition to Mexican punitive expedition, one year and three months; Mexican punitive expedition to world war, two months, making a total of about 107 years' peace out of 145." He said we had had our army occupied on one kind of warfare or another for a period of two years of warfare to one year of peace. WHAT SHALL I PAY—? is world headquarters for gold, silver and platinum ornaments. Since Great Britain legislated the gold standard for India, India has drawn the balance at the rate of one-quarter in gold and three-quarters in silver, so that now India is draining the world of both gold and silver, and the price of silver in the world depends upon the price of silver in India. It is his belief that silver will remain about the present price of $1.20 for many years to come. VETOES APPROPRIATION BILL PRESIDENT OBJECTS TO LEGISLATIVE ACTION OF APPROPRIATION MEASURE. PREVENTS PUBLICITY REPASSAGE OF THE BILL IS NEC ESSARY BEFORE JUNE 30 OR MUST LAPSE. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, May 14.—President Wilson pointedly informed Congress that in his opinion the legislative branch of the government was showing an increasing tendency to interfere unduly with the exercise of the executive functions. Taking as a vehicle for his admonition a sharply phrased veto of the annual legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill, the President declared that one of the riders of the big supply measure would muzzle executive officials with a "censorship" regulated by the congressional joint committee on printing. Immediately the President's position both on the general principle involved and the specific case cited was challenged by Republican leaders of Senate and House. Senator Smoot, Republican, of Utah, chairman of the joint committee, declared in a formal statement that the President apparently had been "deliberately misinformed" about the appropriation bill, and Representative Good, Republican, of Iowa, chairman of the House appropriations committee, told the House that "there must be some mistake somewhere." Whether repassage of the bill unchanged will be attempted or whether the feature objected to by the President will be eliminated has not been decided. The measure carries $104,000,000 for salaries and miscellaneous expenses of many government departments, and it must be approved in some form before the end of June or these funds will lapse. The section of the appropriation bill which led to the veto would prohibit the printing or mimeographed of any government publication except by authority of the joint committee. Such a provision, said the President, would give to the committee "power to determine what information shall be given to the people of the country by the executive departments." "The obvious effect of this provision," said the President, "would be to give to that committee power to prevent the executive departments from mimeographing, multigraphing or otherwise duplicating any material which they desire, and in that way power to determine what information shall be given to the people of the country by the executive departments. "Without raising any constitutional question, I think that this section . . . is an encroachment on the functions of the executive and incompatible with good government." Both Senator Smoot and Representative Good, however, asserted that the committee already had been given control over government publications by an act which the President signed on March 1, 1919, and that the purpose of the present provision was to extend that power so meritorious periodicals could be continued. "There are now 155 government publication sprinted without any authority of law," said Mr. Good. "They exist only by sufferance of the joint committee. The bill which the President approved in March, 1919, was more sweeping than the one now vetoed." Slashes Throat and Defies Rescuers. San Francisco.—Defying police called to rescue him from a bathroom where he had locked himself after cutting his throat from ear to ear, Thomas Steele, teamster, battled with the officers for several minutes before he could be taken to the emergency hospital, where his wounds were dressed. Steele is in a critical condition and is expected to die, according to hospital physicians. Favor Low Mail Rate. Washington.—Existing second-class mail rates would be continued until July 1, 1921, under a bill ordered reported favorably by the House Post-office Committee. The measure would postpone for one year each of the two authorized automatic increases in rates, scheduled to become effective July 1, and one year later. Mail Official Killed. Oskaloosa, Iowa.—William J. McClendliss, superintendent Chicago-Omaha aerial mail division, was killed when an aeroplane in which he was riding was blown into a tree four miles south of here. H. W. Johnson, Fremont, Ohio, pilot, was injured. Eight Drowned in Flood. Alliance, Neb. — Confirmation has been received here of the drowning of eight persons near Ardmore, S. D., following a cloudburst. Five members of one family named Darby were lost. The bodies of the father, mother and one daughter have been recovered. Two sons are missing. When their house was surrounded by water they attempted to escape to higher ground, and were caught in the rushing water. The house they abandoned was scarcely moved from its foundation.

In the motor or out, it has claims not to be ignored by the woman of good sense. When it has a style of its own—real distinction—in addition to these virtues—it is a joy to the finder. Here are two coats, one of them long and the other three-quarter length, that will bear examination in the requirements mentioned. Cost styles are about equally divided between the long and three-quarter length models. Their designers appear to be able to give either any flavor they wish and accomplish the desired end by making the best use of fabric, cut and finish. Long conts of broad plaids, full over the hips, flat at the front and gathered loosely in at the back, are youthful and chic. The same design acquires dignity made up in plain coatings. The smartest of the shorter conts hang in straight lines and many are the varieties in the cut of sleeves and collar, cuffs and pockets that add an intangible but invaluable Simplicity for IN DRESSING the miss from six to sixteen almost everyone agrees that she looks her best in simple frocks. Simplicity is the foundation of styles as they are created for her by people who give their talent and time to a task that is a long way from easy. Two white frocks for girls from twelve to sixteen years, the efforts of experts, are shown here for the benefit of mothers who must settle the matter or dresses for graduation day and other days. These models can be made up in any of the lovely colors in organdle or volle. This frock is made with plain blouse and straight, moderately full skirt. Instead of tucks, there are wide bands about both the bodice and skirt set on the underside and hem-stitched to place. A color might be used in these bands but there is an advantage in all-white, since it can be worn over colored underslips as well as over white, and two or three slips provided for the same dress. The waist has a round neck finished with a deep frill of volle and narrower frills make the turned-back cuffs. The pret- quality of style to the several good models. Yokes, collars that roll high or are worn open as occasion requires, pockets that are an incident in a wide turned-up hem—all these tricks of the designer that spell good style, reveal that the art of the tailor is the capacity for taking pains. The coat at the left of the group is made of any one of the soft, plain coatings and cou' not be much simpler, as it is cut on kimono lines. The collar and cuffs are covered with silk embroidery in self color. Eyelets worked across the back and at each side of the front allow a heavy silk cord to fulfill its duty as a girdle that ties at the front. A similar cord with ends finished by ornaments is used to finish the square, full pockets at each side. The addition of very ornamental pockets and a novel treatment of the belt, helped out by the use of buttons in two sizes, convert the plain coat at the right into an interesting model for younger women. It requires a plain or mixed fabric. Younger Girls ty leghorn hat, trimmed with small flowers suits the dress exactly. One of many orgyand dresses designed for the younger graduates, has a bodice with deep "V" neck introducing a small chemisette of tucked orgyand, and a wide plain collar. There are elbow sleeves with turned-back cuffs. Plain and tucked orgyand make the skirt, the tucked side panels having groups of seven narrow tucks at wide intervals, across them. Small, round crochet buttons are placed on the skirt where the tucks are joined to the plain front and back panels and a very small side drapery in the skirt is allowed as a concession to sixteen years and the dignity and importance of graduation day.
