LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL GEN'L CONFERENCE Twenty-sixth Quadrennial Convention Held at St. Louis, Mo.—Great Assembly of High Church Dignitaries and Laymen Witnessed by Throngs of St. Louis Citizens—Hon. W. T. Vernon Elevated to the Bishopric and Appointed to South Africa. VOL. XXVI. AFRICAN MI EPISCOPAL GE Twenty-sixth Quadrennial Convent Assembly of High Church Di by Throngs of St. Louis Citize to the Bishopric and Appointe ONE of the greatest events in the history of Methodism was witnessed by a vast throng of St. Louis citizens when the A. M. E. general conference was held at Coliseum hall, Jefferson and Washington streets, from May 3-18, inclusive. Bishops, elders, ministers and a large body of laymen and women gave a representation of the great work of the church and its help to humanity, society and good government. The courtesy of the state of Missouri and the city of St. Louis was extended by the chief officials, and a welcome which caused the most harmonious relationship to prevail during the entire conference will mark a never-to-be-forgotten event in the annals of our great and distinguished religious body. The quadrennial sermon was delivered by Bishop J. Albert Johnson of Philadelphia, which was a masterpiece being very appropriate of the occasion. The quadrennial address by Bishop J. S. Flipper of Atlanta, Ga., gave inspiration and encouragement for the prosecution of the Gospel of Christ and His Church among the nations of the earth. The election of bishops, in which the following clergymen were elevated to the Episcopate, met with general approval after the most thorough examination: Rev. William D. Johnson of Plain, Ga.; Rev. A. J. Carey of Chicago, Ill.; Rev. W. Samson Brooks of Baltimore, Md.; Rev. W. A. Fountain of Atlanta, Ga.; Hon. W. T. Vernon, Memphis, Tenn. Extracts from the reports show an increase of 208,000 in membership for the four years and a total church collection of over $1,000,000, as shown by the finance department. The consecration of the newly elected bishops was held last Sunday at the Coliseum when the consecration sermon was delivered by Bishop Evans Tyree in the presence of 10,000 persons, who were deeply impressed with the words of truth that came from the speaker as well as the function—the same seen by many for the first time. The following comprise the assignments of the bishops and their territories: First district, including New England states, Bishop W. H. Heard; second district, Maryland, District of Columbia and North Carolina, Bishop J. Albert Johnson; third district, West Virginia and Ohio, Bishop Joshua H. Jones; fourth district, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota, Bishop Lei J. Coppin; fifth district, Missouri, Kansas and Colorado conference, Bishop H. B. Parks; sixth district, Georgia, Bishop J. S. Flipper; seventh district, South Carolina, Bishop Wm. D. Chappelle; eighth district, Mississippi, Bishop W. W. Beckett; ninth district, Alabama, Bishop B. F. Lee; tenth district, Texas, Bishop W. D. Johnson; eleventh district, Florida, Bishop John Hurst; twelfth district, Arkansas, Bishop I. N. Ross; thirteenth district, Kentucky and Tennessee, Bishop A. J. Carey; fourteenth district, Oklahoma and Louisiana, Bishop Evans Tyree; fifteenth district, Michigan and the State Hist. & Nat Hist Bod State House West Indies, Bishop J. M. Connor; sixteenth district, West Africa; Bishop W. Sampson Brooks; seventeenth district, South Africa, Bishop W. T. Vernon; eighteenth district, Puget Sound, California and South America, Bishop W. A. Fountain. All the general officers with two exceptions were re-elected. Rev. D. M. Baxter of Jacksonville, Fla., was elected manager of The Book Concern, Philadelphia, and Rev. S. S. Morris of Norfolk. Va., was elected secretary of the Allen Christian Endeavor League. Colorado was well remembered in appointments also, Elder R. L. Pope being elected assistant secretary of the general conference and member of the educational board, and Rev. W. H. Thomas of Shorter church, Denver, being elected a member of the Church Extension Board. Thus was brought to a close on Tuesday, May 18th, an ever memorable event in the life of Methodism in America, and the free expressions of public opinion in highly commending this great and useful agent—the Methodist church—in the uplifting of the human family, their contribution to civilization, to peace, harmony and the amelioration of unfortunate conditions among the sons of men, prove beyond a doubt that their cause will be maintained by an interested people who yearn for the truth, the life and the way. THE COLORADO STATESMAN offers its congratulations to this religious organization for its good work and wonderful progress. ENGLAND ADVISED BY CONGRESSMAN RECENTLY a handful of Irish vote-seeking congressmen took it upon themselves to send Premier Lloyd George and the British Parliament the following cabling: "With the profound conviction that further wars and acts of war should be avoided, and believing wholesale arrests without arraignment or trial disturb the peace and tranquility of a people, are destructive of human rights, and are at variance with that principle of liberty which is embodied in the United States constitution in the provision that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law, the under-signed members of Congress protest arraignment or trial of persons resident in Ireland arrested for acts of a political nature, and we ask in the spirit of American freedom and love of justice, out of our friendliness to the peoples of England and Ireland, in the name of international peace, that, hereafter if arrests based on acts of a political nature are made in Ireland by any form of authority, the right of trial shall without unreasonable delay be accorded to the accused." Such audacity, such boldness into the part of a few shallow, political inconsistent congressmen to attempt to advise any country whatsoever as to the treatment of their subjects smacks of rank downright ignorance and impudence, not to say anything of the marvelous inconsistency of their action. What a humiliating, unprecedented most unparalleled spectacle BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 22, 1920 presented to our government by a few sentimental political vote-seekers in Congress who went out of their way to embarrass this government. Fortunately, Premier Lloyd George and the British Parliament are pretty well posted on affairs of this government and its treatment toward the Negro citizens here, and perhaps by these same congressmen. England could well reply to these silly congressmen in the language of the Scripture; "And why beholdest thou the note that is in thy brother's eye, but perceive not the beam that is in thine own eye?" To think that they send such a cablegram to England and that right here at their doors the Negro is jim-crowed, lynched, burned and subjected to the most inhuman treatment imaginable, and, too, without arrest or trial, is the most glaring and insulting inconsistency imaginable. What, we wonder, would these eighty-eight justice-loving congressmen say to themselves and to the world if they happened to pick up a Denver paper and see and read therein where in a mob of 250 or more white people assembled in front of the residence of a respectable Negro family to protest against that Negro family living in the block and demanding that the Negro and his family move out at once? Why don't these same congressmen quote the sacred constitution in defense of the Negroes of their own country? Their failure and silence serves all the more to make them appear foolish and insincere. They have enough to do at home in correcting abuses and violations of the sacred rights of citizens under our constitution instead of wading the Atlantic Ocean to meddle in the affairs of England and Ireland. ELEVATING A RACE. Major Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, calls attention to the fact that among the 5,000 or more dangerous radicals who have been arrested by the federal authorities during the last few months there has not been one Negro. And this despite the organized campaign of propaganda conducted among the members of the race in the Southern states. "Yet there is no group of twelve millions in America that enjoys less of the blessings and privileges of its civilization than this group of devotedly loyal black Americans." Major Moton attributes this law-abiding attitude on the part of the mass of his people to the wise, intelligent influence of the thousands that have received the advantages of an education. Such institutions as Tuskegee, Hampton, Fisk and Atlanta undoubtedly are performing a practical patriotic service for the whole country as well as ministering to the race for which their benefits are especially designed. Replying to the ignorantly prejudiced remark that is sometimes heard, but not so frequently as formerly, Principal Gregg, of Hampton, recently said: "The Negro's place is the one his mertits entitle him to. As with members of some other races in this country, he begins with a handicap of ignorant prejudice. Any man, white or black, who can read and write, who thinks straight, and lives straight, who is self-supporting, honest, hardworking and reliable, who respects his fellow men, deserves the vote and he is bound to get it. Lynching is co-operative murder and throughout the South is gradually being recognized as a shameful crime. The recent stand of the authorities at Lexington, Ky., gave some ground for the hope expressed by Principal Gregg, but later developments have rather dimmed the lustre of their achievement. Members of the grand jury appointed to inquire into the activities of the murderous mob reported there was ample evidence for indictments, but they feared to aggravate a tense situation by returning them. It would seem that Negroes are not the only ones who need education in the matter of doing's one duty.—Pittsburg (Pa.) Telegraph. CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS Rev. J. W. Rogers was the honored guest of Cheyenne friends on Sunday, May 16th. Rev. Rogers came to the city from his home in Denver to officiate at the funeral of Aaron Lewis, the 17-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Jackson Lewis. Services were held at 2 p.m. at the A. M. E. church. Rev. Rogers quoted his text from Titus, second chapter, and preached a lecture-sermon to the living. A throng of citizens attended the funeral services; men and women from all walks of life, including members of the Master Mechanics large official force of the Union Pacific railroad office, who came to prove their respect to Aaron Lewis, who was a faithful employe and courteous young man. The deceased leaves to mourn his departure a father and mother, three brothers, a sister and a host of friends and acquaintances, who sympathize with the bereaved. Rev. Rogers exhorted the parents of all families to train their children to cultivate the high moral principles; to so train and instruct them to seek the home fireside, the Sunday school and Christian influences for future happiness. The funeral services of James Elliott were held at Earley's undertaking parvors, Rev. C. O. Smith officiated. The remains were taken to Dayton, Ohio, for interment. Sunday evening, May 16, 1920, will be remembered as "Rogers Night." It will be so remembered because Rev. J. W. Rogers, a true Christian and courteous gentleman, occupied the pulpit at the A. M. E. church and pictured in burning words our many sins and frailties. We Cheyenne folk have considered ourselves so good since we banished old John Barleycorn, and we have attended Sunday school, church, Civic League, and everything. We thought we were fit for heaven, only we did not care to die to impose on St. Peter's company—but now, alas! We must go away back and pray and take the mote out of our own eye, and everything. Rev. Rogers is a former pastor of the A. M. E. church in Cheyenne, and he is acquainted with our strong and weak points. On Sunday night, may it never be forgotten, he called us deceitful hypocrites, slanders, backbiters. And that's not all—he stated Cheyenne citizens never try to get together for the things that uplift the community; said we join in singles, doubles and brigades to tear down things and organizations which tend to build up the youth and manhood of our city. It is said by some persons that "Rev. Rogers got out there." If so, it pays to "get out there" in Cheyenne, because the congregation gave the reverend gentleman a liberal donation and he received compliments from many who were hardest hit. We truly hope our future deportment will merit some compliments. Oh! could the world have heard our grief when he stated we fail to even try to get together as good Christians and moral citizens. That was a "hot one," but it was de trut' Mrs. Will Redd is improving, although still confined. Mrs. Emmett Bennett departed for Rochester, Minn., for treatment at Mayo Brothers. Granville Bailey was in the city Tuesday on business. Rev. J. W. Rogers departed for his Denver home Monday. Rev. Rogers a credit to the church and the nation. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources St. Louis, May 17.—Revision of the denominational regulations, giving women the right of representation in the church boards of trustees and making them eligible for election as delegates to general conferences, were approved by the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church today. The conference also voted a general increase in wages to ministers. MAN SENT TO PEN FOR OPENING HIS WIFE'S LETTER. Chicago, Ill., May 5.—Federal Judge Landis, sitting in the United States District Court, sentenced Jesse Nash, a colored man, to the penitentiary for twenty-five seconds, for receiving and opening another man's mail. Nash fainted when the sentence was announced and there was a general comotion in the court room. The prisoner and the on-lookers had understood the judge to say twenty-five years instead of seconds. Nash, according to the testimony, had suspected his wife of writing love letters to another man. He went to the postoffice general delivery, and asked for the man's mail. He was given a letter in his wife's handwriting. The other man, E. A. Ahern, had Nash arrested for stealing his mail. NOT IN FAVOR OF GIVING BLACK SOLDIERS BONUS. Atlantic City.—The United States Chamber of Commerce would go on record as opposed to the granting of a bonus to soldiers who served in the World war by adoption of a resolution submitted for action by the resolutions committee at the initial session of its eighth annual convention here today. The resolution as presented declared that "not only half a million Negroes in the South, who probably would receive $500 or $600 each, would immediately quit work until the money was spent," but predicted that there would be generally "an orgy of spending" and that labor would be disorganized and production decreased. CLERK INSULTS COLORED CUSTOMER—GETS DRUBBING Greenwood, S. C., April 29.—Mr. James Castleman, a storekeeper on the plike road, severely beat one of his clerks (John Hark), who insulted a young colored girl in his store Saturday afternoon. The trouble started when the clerk refused to wait on the girl, saying that he did not serve or wait on Negroes. The girl had been a customer of the place for a number of years and is out of one of the best colored families of this section. After being refused to be waited on by Hark, she reported the affair to Mr. Castleman, who asked the clerk why he did not sell the girl the sugar that she came for? The clerk replied that he did not wait on Negroes and Castleman ordered him out. It was at this point that the trouble started. Castleman knocked the clerk down and threw him out of the store, and said that he would knock any man down who insulted his patrons. Hark had Castleman placed NO.32 under arrest, and the judge said that Castleman did the thing that was right and that the white people should be ever ready to help the Negro, rather than continually abusing him. He said that the refusal to sell the people the things that are essential to life is one of the greatest crimes that could be placed against mankind. And that he as judge would see to it that the Negro who was brought before him was given a square deal. SENTENCED TO DEATH FOR MURDER IN RACE RIOT Is Again Found Guilty of Killing Railroad Agent in Arkansas Uprising Last September. Helena, Ark., May 13.—John Martin was found/guilty of first degree murder for the second time in Phillips county Circuit Court here last Tuesday for his part in the "racial uprising" in the Elaine section last fall. Martin was charged specifically with the murder of W. A. Adkins, a special agent of the Missouri Pacific railway, at Hoop Spur the night of Sept. 30, 1918, when a small sheriff's posse was fired on by a crowd who were in a darkened church. It was this shooting which precipitated the uprising. Martin, who was one of the six Negroes under death sentence whose cases were remanded by the Supreme Court, again was sentenced to be electrocuted. PECULIAR ASTIGMATISM The Monitor is in most heavy accord with the sentiment expressed by the congressmen, eighty-eight of them, who signed a protest against the imprisonment, without arraignment or trial, of persons arrested in Ireland for political offenses. We believe such a practice, wherever or by whomsoever put into effect, reprehensible and violative of human rights which are fundamental and sacred. At the same time we cannot but marvel at the peculiar astigmatism of these same eighty-eight American statesmen, or politicians, which—the later, if they are, as we suspect, more interested in securing Irish-American votes, than animated with genuine sympathy for Irish political prisoners—which blinds them to similar conditions here at home. Here scores of American citizens are "deprived of life and liberty * * * without due process of law," and yet these same gentlemen, whose righteous souls burn with indignation at the wrongs of Irish political prisoners are as loudly clamorous and eloquent as oysters as touching crimes against American citizens. True, in one case, the wrong is done by representatives of the English government: while, in the other, it is done by mobs who defy the American government and courts, and yet our lawmakers say and do nothing. Is this due to a peculiar species of astigmatism, or is it directly traceable to unsuspected, though malignant, simonpure hypocrisy?—Monitor, Omaha.

THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE LABORING MASSES Caught between two freight cars on the Denver & Salt Lake railroad at Utah Junction, John Gruber, 35, a brakeman, was crushed so badly that he died a few hours later at the St. Luke's hospital in Denver, where he had been removed following the accident. Albert Phillips, 25, a farm hand on the Fred Armitage ranch at Eaton, is dead from the effects of following the drinking of a bottle of "pop."

Lyman's Removal Sale Capitol Petroleum (A PRODUCING, DIVIDEND-PAYING COMPANY) Makes the Following Announcements for the Information of Stockholders: Plans for Operation in Mexico The company's operations in Mexico have been practically at a standstill during the past three months, owing to the absence of Mr. Guthrey, who was in Sweden during this time, representing Capitol Petroleum Company in a deal between the company and Swedish capitalists, in which the latter have contracted to take over some of Capitol's holdings in Mexico. This trip was successful. We will not give details at this time, as they have been published before. At a meeting of the board of directors, with Mr. Guthrey present, it was decided to carry out the following program with all possible haste: 1—Lease a boat immediately for hauling oil from Well No. 2. 2—Erect storage tanks at the wharf adjacent to the well, which tanks will be filled while the boat is making the trip to Tampico and back. 3—Arrange for drilling another well near to the present well. 4—Place a contract for the building of modern, up-to-date, self-propelled boats which are to be used on the Panuco River. Plans for Operation in Texas 1—Continue the drilling with all possible haste, of Well No. 1, Purvine Ranch, Carson County. The well is now about 1,300 feet and going nicely.

Over-Education a Peril? Have you ever read what Renan sald of over-education? Well, here it is: "A great danger impends because the accumulation of knowledge and power is unlimited, while the human intellect does not expand. There is reason to fear that the human brain may collapse under its own burden; that there may come a moment when its very progress spells its ultimate decadence. It will be like an equation that carries its limits within its own statements."—Los Angeles Times, Washington's Ice Melted. George Washington put up ice. In January, 1775, his diary showed he filled a dry well under a summer house and another well in a cellar. Under date of June 5 he wrote in his diary: "Opened the well in my cellar in which I had laid up a store of ice, but there was not the smallest particle remaining. I then opened the other repository, in which I found a large store." "Shun-Pikes." Not all dictionaries contain the word "shum-pike," but it was in common use in this country a century ago and throws an amusing light on the character of some of our thrifty ancestors. A "shum-pike" was a short byroad that left a turnpike on one side of a tollgate and joined it again on the other—Youth's Companion. See Beauty in Long Neck. The aim of every woman of the Burmese tribe of Padung is to elongate the neck as much as possible, and to effect this a female child has a brass wire fitted around her neck, to which additional rings are added as the years go by until she is fifteen years of age, when she is valued by the length of her collar and purchased as a wife. Girls with necks over a foot long are not common. Collies Best Sheep Dogs. The department of agriculture says that the Scotch collies are the favorite sheep dogs of America. Their tireless watching even at night, their barking at the approach of any prowler, and their instinct for keeping the flock together are of great value. The stray dog is one of the sheeps' worst enemies. Spring's Promises.

CLEANING UP DENVER. Now that spring has actually arrived and the sun is shining on both sides of the streets everyone is busy planting flowers, dressing their lawns and cleaning house, painting and beautifying generally to make things look fresh, clean, healthy and inviting. In Denver, as well as in many other large cities, we have a general clean-up day. On that day every householder is requested and expected to join in the task of making the city clean. Denver is famous for her beauty and Cleanliness. Her beautiful parks, clean street, green lawns and magnificent residences are the wonder of all visitors who are fortune enough to while away a passing moment with us. But, while we may have a clean city, a beautiful city, physically what can we say of our city morally? Are we up to the standard morally? Judging from the report of the recent grand jury, wherein thirty-two indictments were returned against as many individuals for running gambling houses and immoral hotel keepers, shows that there was something wrong with our city morals. The women's vice crusade certainly woke things up in Denver and showed us some things we thought were not possible in this bone dry city of ours. In their crusade they were not partial nor prejudiced to race, creed, color or previous condition, etc., but gathered them in from all nationalities, black and white, Jew and gentile, all alike. Now these people who have just been indicted are taking their inning over at the West Side Court. Whether or not these con-men gun-men, gamblers and hari-kari hotel keepers will be able to make their get-away this time depends upon Mr. Foley's office and the jury. A bad city morally is like a bad man. Both can dress up and make a fine, flashy appearance, but friends, keep your hands on your pocket-books as they pass by. SUGAR PEDDLERS AND PROFITEERS. WARNING has been given the sugar peddlers and profiteers by the government authorities and if they are caught in their pernicious profiteering it will not go so easy with them. The sugar peddler and profiteer are on the same level with the whiskey bootlegger. Both are criminals and a menace to society. The honest citizen should help the government in every way to catch these food outlaws and put a stop to this practice of buying sugar and peddling it out. The scheme is worked by peddlers going about from store to store and buying the allotted five or ten pounds and storing it until they have secured a carload and then shipping it to some other city where sugar is higher. One person alone in that way could secure or buy almost a ton of sugar in a day. Recently a fire broke out in a two-story brick house and when the city firemen arrived they found that there was a large whisky still in operation in the house and that the fire started from the still. The occupants or manipulators of the still became alarmed and fled before the firemen arrived and left behind fifteen sacks of sugar. How did they secure the fifteen hundred pounds of sugar to brew booze? They could only get it in one of two ways, viz: Either to buy it direct from the sugar peddlers or profitteers or stand in with some wholesale or retail dealer. We hardly think that any reliable dealer would sell to any one that amount of sugar at the present time. And thus it is; nearly every whisky still that is raided by the authorities they make a big haul in sugar also. If the dealers would sell sugar only to their regular customers it would help to solve, in a measure, the sugar problem. Then we, as individuals, can also help by being economical in the use of sugar and reporting every one who is buying more than the regular allowance. THE FIVE POINTS DISTRICT. STRANGE, but true, 'tis but natural. In every city of any size in the United States there is at least one district or section where the Negroes are more densely populated than any other race or nationality. The same can be said of the Jew, the Italian, the Swedes and so on. Some times we hear of these sections or districts spoken of as Little Africa, Jew-town, or Dago-town, which ever race or nationality mostly inhabits the districts referred to. But we find this big difference in the districts mostly settled by the Jews, the Italians, etc., that they get together politically and get what is coming to them from both parties. They have their councilman, their district and precinct committeeman, their representative in the Legislature, and also their proportionate share of the jobs at the city hall and the court house and the state capitol. Take the Five Points district, the Negroes have a big majority and nothing politically to show for it. In District E, Precinct 1, we have a lone woman on the committee. The same prevails in District C, Precinct 15—only a woman on the committee. Whereas there are twenty-five or thirty precincts alone in two or three districts there where the Negroes should have a committeeman or a committeewoman. They should at least try to elect a councilman from that district. A representative in the Legislature should be a common occurrence. In the last county convention we had about ten delegates where we should have had at least ninety. We had only four delegates to the state convention when we should have had at least twenty-five, and all these four delegates were women. Where are the men? At home as usual. In the county convention one of our representative citizens, who was a delegate, made an open, clean-cut and manly fight for at least sixteen colored delegates to the state convention. He made a most eloquent appeal to the convention for even handed justice in the matter of representation and ably backed up his plea with actual voting statistics, yet, he was voted down. Why? Because the party leaders know too well that we are not organized and will never be organized as long as they can keep us playing the game of "CRAB POLITICS"—knocking and pulling one another down. THE COLORADO STATESMAN makes this appeal to our race now to get busy and organize and go to the polls and get what you are justly entitled to within the party. United States a Real Democracy Only When It Votes for President. This is one of the most critical periods in the country's history. The nation faces a vitally necessary industrial and economic adjustment, in which every man and woman must aid. LAROE A 1983 The basic economic factor is the home and it rests with the women to take the initiative in measures affecting the home. Autocracy of mass is as bad as autocracy of class. The strongest emotion prevailing in the country today is fear of radicalism. The people must shake off their political lethargy and realize that they are the government. The only time the United States is a real democracy is when it votes. ent. The only time the United States is a real democracy is when it states. Every four years the country puts all its eggs in one basket and must take its chance until the next general election. We have been particularly fortunate in selecting our presidents in the past, but we can't afford to take a mistake at this critical period of our national life. There must be no "rubber stamp" delegates to the national convenions. They must reflect the wishes of the people they represent. The greatest problem before the American people, I believe, is industrial and economic adjustment, so that we may take the lead in this. The men are doing their part now. They earn in their capacity, while the women now must achieve the impossible by maintaining the home at a recent standard in the face of continually increasing living costs.

Reactionary and Progressive and How America Will Be Made Secure. By NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER, President Columbia University The sure mark of the reactionary is unwillingness to make use of the teachings of past experience or to read the lessons of history and apply them to the problems of today. The true progressive, on the other hand, is he who carefully reads history and carefully examines the experience of mankind in order to see what lessons have already been learned, what mistakes have already been repeated and what principles of organization and conduct have established themselves as sound and beneficent. America will be saved, not by those who have only contempt and deplore for her founders and her history, but by those who look with respect and reverence upon the great series of happenings extending from the voyage of the Mayflower to the achievements of the American armies on the soil of France, and upon that long succession of statesmen, orators, men of letters and men of affairs who have themselves been both the product and the highest promise of American life and American opportunity. The declaration of independence rings as true today as it did in 1776. The constitution remains the surest and safest foundation for a free government that the wit of man has yet devised. Faithful adherence to these strong and enduring foundations and a high purpose to apply the fundamental principles of American life with sympathy and open-mindedness to each new problem that presents itself will give us a people increasingly prosperous, increasingly happy and increasingly secure.

"I Have Preached the Doctrine of the Red, White and Blue Forever." By JOHN KJELLANDER, Superior Court Clerk, Chicago. The initial fact in my case is that I, a native of Sweden, am proud of my American citizenship. There my glory begins and ends. When I arrived at Castle Garden I had $10. I came to Chicago, the metropolis of the Golden West, and I partook again of an effervescent cup of optimism. Quoting Theodore Roosevelt, "the name of American is to bear the most honorable of titles and whoever does not so believe has no business to bear the name at all." Send all such back. These United States have given me opportunity. I have been honored by the electorate. Class distinction would have barred me abroad. This country has afforded me the privilege of knowing, personally, men and women of all classes, from the lowly to the chief magistrate of the nation. Respecting my fatherland, I have gained adoration for the land of my adoption. I wish the same were true of other foreigners who have come to our shores. To all such as have been classified as "Reds" I would say "get out!" To deport them is a pussyfoot method. Their place is before a firing squad. In my job as clerk of the Superior court of Cook County I have made many addresses in my office to applicants for citizenship and I have preached the doctrine of the red, white, and blue—forever.

"Some Large Questions on Which the Future of the Nation Depends." By MRS. CARRIE CHAPMAN CATT, Woman Suffrage Leader. Some large questions are coming up today. To cite a few of them. How shall the peace of the world be maintained? How shall food be produced to bring the necessary variety within the possession of every human being? How shall industrial profiteers be brought to book? How shall the illiteracy, so glaringly revealed by war statistics, be removed, for ignorance in a republic is an ever-present menace? As many women die every year from perfectly preventable causes ataternity as there were men from this country killed in the great war. Why should this go on? These are a few of the questions calling for attention at this time, and the future of the nation, the happiness of posterity depends upon the manner in which men and women voters of today meet these questions. To my mind, it is the duty of the women voters in the coming election to place their eyes upon the big things at issue and let those big things govern their choice of party and candidates. How shall the peace of the world be maintained? How shall food enough be produced to bring the necessary variety within the possession of every human being? How shall industrial profiteers be brought to book? How shall the illiteracy, so glaringly revealed by war statistics, be removed, for ignorance in a republic is an ever-present menace? As many women die every year from perfectly preventable causes at maternity as there were men from this country killed in the great war. Why should this go on? These are a few of the questions calling for attention at this time. And the future of the nation, the happiness of posterity depends upon the manner in which men and women voters of today meet these questions.

Who Who and What What Weekly brieflet by WESTERN PUBLICITY BUREAU Considerable interest has already been taken in the announcement made last week in this column of the proposed speaking engagement here of the Hon. J. C. Napier, one of the prominent men of the race. The Western Publicity Bureau has received a number of communications asking for information, and expressing satisfaction at the announcement. However, the date for the appearance of the distinguished banker and stavsman has not been fully determined. It is expected that the exact date will be set within the next few days and an official announcement will be made soon thereafter. May Speak at Pueblo. One of the communications received was from Pueblo, where Mr. Napier is urgently requested to come and speak following his Denver address. The Pueblo branch, N.A.A.C.P. is said to be behind the movement at that place. It probably should be stated here and now that there is no political significance in the coming to Denver of Mr. Napier, those interested in having him speak here state that it is for purely racial purposes. Mr. Napier is one of the greatest financiers of the Negro race in this country, having established one of the first banking institutions of the race. He is still at the head of this bank. He has been an executive in the treasury department of the United States which position greatly added to his banking experience and knowledge. As president of the National Negro Business League he was in position to acquire much additional technical knowledge as to financial conditions generally. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS Is the Negro ready for his emancipation? The Young People's Progressive Club stirred up quite an interest at their meeting Friday night at the Second Baptist Church on the discussion as to whether the Negro was entirely ready for his emancipation. Mr. W. M. Logan says: "The Negro is ready for his emancipation and has proved it during the World war that he is worthy of his emancipation." Mr. Ed. Gaither: "The Negro is not sufficiently educated for his entire emancipation." He asks, what would become of the world if it was turned entirely over to the Negro? Why, he said, they would turn the world upside down. Miss A. Widener: "The Negro is fully ready for his emancipation. Why," she said, "his inventions perhaps the white man would never thought of, and if he were given the privilege and show as other races, he would prove that he was ready." Mr. H. Clark; "The Negro is not ready, and will not be ready for his emancipation until he has realized the fact that they must come together and do business together, and be led by men of the race instead of being led so much by the white man." Mr. Clark is pretty well informed, and became much interested in the meeting, though being his first time to attend. He said: "This meeting has put me to thinking, and I am glad that I came out." When President Alexander called for new members, Mr. Clark gave his name as a member of the club. Others spoke on the above subject, but no decision was made on the subject as it was only a round table discussion. Miss A. Widener read a lovely paper on "Life." In their program for their next meeting there will be a debate, "Resolved, that Mixed Schools are Best for the Negro." Miss L. Ramus, Negative, Mr. Ed. Gaiter. The Pacific Car Building Company that purchased ten acres of land just outside of the city limits of East Woodland, is expecting to begin building on the factory at once. The Woodland people are much pleased because of the fact that it has been published that one of the officials said, within the next eighteen months the company would be working from 700 to 1,000 men. This will mean much to Woodland. Mrs. S. Wright went to Stockton Sunday morning and returned Sunday evening.

BOY SCOUT WEEK, BEGINNING MAY 30, 1920 Has it ever occurred to you, Mr. Citizen, that you are personally responsible for the welfare of the boys in your community.

Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Those who attended the meeting at Fern hall last Sunday afternoon came away more than repaid for their going. The Japanese minister did not meet his appointment, but no one missed him; because, through the tireless efforts of that splendid worker, Mr. Sie H. Green, there were musicians a-plenty to fill the hour; and a royal program they had, too. The quartet of young ladies who sang several selections was repeatedly called back, as were also the boys of Scout Troop 53, who rendered several numbers on their instruments. Madame Norton, whose voice was in excellent condition, was handicapped by reason of the fact that no accompanist was present who could properly handle her music. The croquet committee will meet tonight to organize the work for the season. They have ordered a fine new set of balls and mallets specially prepared for expert players. It will be only a short while before the sport will be in full swing. Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be a great time for the Y. M. and Y. W. The two branches will hold a joint public meeting at Shorter Church, where addresses will be made to them by the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Ward of Los Angeles, and former Chaplain Scott. Dr. Ward was the founder of the Y. M. C. A. in this city, and during all his years here was a staunch and steady friend of the work. Mrs. Ward was the first president of the Y. W. C. A., and knows about the work from the very beginning. The meeting will begin promptly at 3:30 o'clock. A great, great time is expected. The 700 members of the Y. M. C.

AMERICAN M DEMOCRACY Two Hundred and Fifty Denver C ney-at-Law, Demand Removal ers from 2649 Gaylord Street Residents of City—Not Desired NOTHER test in the great question of DEMOCRACY that our nation in its attempt to deceive the world as to the splendid government of its local affairs and will brook no interference from outsiders, is brought to our notice, and that strongly too, in the demand made by 250 whites of the Clayton Addition, when they called at the home of Claude De Priest, a city fireman, at 2640 Gaylord street, last Tuesday evening, and coolly informed him that Negroes were not allowed to live in this part of the city and they would see to his removal. This committee (as it is called) was led by Foster Cline, a duly registered attorney-at-law, who was a member of the district attorney's staff some years ago, and who was a vigorous prosecutor of law breakers as well as an ardent advocate of the constitution of this country granting every legal right to the citizen who has given proof of his support, respect and obedience to our great Republican commonwealth. We have said it again and again; expressed it often in the columns of this journal, that however much the members of this dominant race, in their respective capacities, officials or otherwise, will pat you on the shoulder and wishing "they were many more like you," the usual expression, there is always the little margin for them to play in. It was this same Foster Cline who remained perfectly quiescent at the time when our legal champion, the late William Bolden Townsend, fought that vicious and pernicious "segregated property owner's bill" that came up to our city council and was thrown out by Townsend's explanation of the Colorado statute, which made a great impression, backed up by the array of evidence from leading colored and white residents of this city of several years' residence and unquestionable reputation. This Foster Cline, who played the dual part even though he was in the people's service and receiving the people's money, comes again in the limelight and says in leading this noble, representative (?) class of American citizens (and we can remind him of the records of how Australia began its population by a certain class of English-speaking people, and how some OR ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION THE CAMMEL UNDERTAKING CO.

HOLMES. EANING OF DEMONSTRATED citizens, Led by Foster Cline, Attorof Respected Negro Property Own- DePriest Family Among Oldest us for Friction. of "Clayton Addition" former residents descended from those people). "Now, it is the sense of the people of Clayton Addition that the presence of residents of any colored persons will depreciate the value of property in the addition to the extent of approximately a half million dollars." We are made to understand that Foster Cline is one of the administrators of the Clayton Estate, and that there's a clause where property must not be sold to people of color. If this is true, did Mr. Cline's Realtor fail to discern in Mrs. Emma Davis, mother-in-law of De Priest, and who bought the property two years ago, renting it to whites, that she was colored? And if Mrs. Davis was of the appearance to be taken for a member of the white race, or the Realtor was after BUSINESS and not COLOR, who, we ask, is to blame? Truly, as Mrs. Talbert, who lectured here recently to our people, said there are over 2,000,000 of us who cannot be distinguished from this prejudicial white race, and hence they are always getting into trouble. Now, if the property that these folks own, pay taxes for, and fill every other government requirement, cannot be enjoyed by them as peaceful citizens of Denver, then we agree with the De Priest family that they should be specially compensated for the threatened dispossession, and as well as Cline knows "that if it goes into court we will prove to him that he hasn't the ghost of a chance to get away from a verdict against him and his clan. Contrast this expression relative to "depreciation of property by Negro's presence" with the remarks of a Mrs. C. G. Beck and her husband, who stated they were not joining in the complaint against Negro residents, and further said: "I have seen nothing wrong about them. I would rather have them for neighbors than some white folks." Well, we must only hope that the day is not far distant when the true spirit of Democracy will permeate the real American, who will in turn help not a white or black cause, but the cause AMERICAN and blot out from our nation everything that savors of AN UN-AMERICAN NATURE. Meeting the Demand Meeting the demand for more efficient telephone service is just as difficult as meeting the demand on any other public concern--whether it be an over-crowded grocery store, a popular ticket window, a bargain counter or anything else where supply is running short. Conditions are unusual throughout the entire manufacturing, mercantile and domestic world. Deficiencies in telephone service which have been quite obvious for some time are directly due to these abnormal conditions. Materials are scarce--manufacturers are not able to meet the demand--telephone supplies cannot be had--the war diverted all activities in other directions, and they are just beginning to come back. Until the normal level is struck, there is bound to be shortage of supplies and this means unavoidable deficiencies. The telephone service is probably no better or no worse than the general average of the business and domestic routine. The telephone management is in a vigorous campaign to get its service back to the old standard of speed and accuracy. Patience and co-operation on the part of the public will greatly aid in bringing about mutual satisfaction. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co.

Born in the state of Illinois in 1858, and arriving in Denver in 1888 from Chicago, Mr. Greenleaf gave proof of a desirable, hard-worked citizen, afterwards uniting in marriage to Mrs. Emma Collins on September 10, 1891, and residing here continuously to the day of his death. He was very popular in lodge circles, being one of the leading members of the Knights of Pythias order, under whose auspices the funeral will be conducted. Mr. Greenleaf was a relative of the late William Slade, who predeceased him three years ago, and he leaves a sorrowing widow and a host of friends to mourn his loss.

FAVORS SMALL REGULAR ARMY National Organization Supplemented by Large Citizen Army Is Ideal Sought by Legion. A small regular army supplemented by a large citizen army is the ideal sought in the American Legion Army Reorganization bill (Senate Bill 3792) to the which the support of the legion is pledged through its national legislative committee in accordance with resolutions adopted at the Minneapolis convention. The provisions of the bill may be summarized as follows: The large citizen army would be composed of all young men between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, who would take a four-months' course in intensive training—vocational, educational and military. Veterans of the war would not be called upon to serve these four months or to take any other training, although provisions probably would be made to accept veterans who volunteered to assist in the training program. Young men could elect, if they so desired, to substitute for the four months of intensive training an enlistment of three years in the National Guard. This National Guard service would be under rules specified by the federal government requiring weekly drills and certain standards of proficiency. The training proposed would not interfere unduly with the regular occupations of the young men enrolled because there would be both winter and summer periods of which they could make their choice. This would enable the youth working on a northern farm to select the winter training period and be assigned to a training camp in the south. In any event, he would be away from home a comparatively short time and he would not be absent during the harvest season. Furthermore, young men would be placed in training according to the service for which they are best suited. For example, negro youths of the south, who had not gone far in schooling might be enrolled in labor battalions. In these they would acquire the rudiments of drill, but, more important, would learn habits of right living. A careful selection of officers would be relied on to insure the system against any abuse of authority. Officers unsuited for training work, whether they belonged to the regular army, the national guard or the reserve corps, would not be assigned to training camps. Those developing traits that impaired their usefulness would be relieved. Civilian officers would have an equal share with regular army officers in the training program. Advocates of the system of compulsory training say that a small regular army together with a large citizen army as contemplated would cost less than even the regular army establishment, which would be set up under the bill which the house of representatives now is considering seriously. Union Favors Legion's Stand. Franklin D'Ollier, national commander of the American Legion, is in receipt of a letter from the Bricklayers' union of Ames, Ia., favoring the stand taken by the legion on adjustment of compensation of ex-service men. The letter which is signed by Charles Cooney, financial secretary, is as follows: "We wish to express our attitude on the question of bonuses for soldiers. The question was taken up at our meeting and I am glad to state that we are heartily in accord with the movement and hope it will be of sufficient size to show our appreciation of service rendered. Please let us know what we can do to be of service." It's All Over Now. "Did you read about that French army aviator who made 314 loops in one flight the other day?" "Lucky dog! Ive had that sensation myself, but not since last June." LEGION NOT MILITARY BODY Aims and Objects of Organization Made Clear by Lemuel Bolles, National Adjutant. Numerous reports received from all parts of the country at National headquarters of the American Legion, show that there is a misunderstanding on the part of many regarding the organization, and particularly with regard to its purpose along military lines. This misunderstanding has resulted in the issuing of the following statement, by Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant: "It has been brought to my notice on several occasions that there is a belief on the part of many that the American Legion is a military organization. Of course it is not. The American Legion is a civilian organization and membership does not affect or increase liability for military or police service. We maintain our civilian status and our military obligations are the same as those of all other citizens. "The organization has interested itself actively in the military policy of the country, not because we are a military organization but because we are able from the inside to detect certain mistakes and weaknesses in the military organization as now established. Our work in this direction is but an effort on the part of patriotic citizens to serve their country along lines in which they feel they are specially prepared to speak intelligently. "The military policy of the American Legion was determined at the Minneapolis convention and has been clearly defined by the military policy committee there appointed. "The American Legion is in favor of universal military training, but the national convention of the American Legion also provided, as a condition precedent thereto and as an essential safeguard thereof, for civilian control. The convention recognized the fact that a thorough housecleaning and elimination of the inefficient officers and methods of our entire military establishment was necessary and also favored equality of obligation and opportunity for all American citizens, and adequate protection against an enlarged or stronger military caste. "While the convention favored the policy of universal military training, at the same time a stand was taken against compulsory military service in time of peace. The American Legion favors a national military and naval system based on universal military obligations to include a relatively small regular army and navy and a citizen army and navy capable of rapid expansion sufficient to meet any national emergency on a plan which will provide competitive and progressive training for all officers, both of the regular army and navy and of the citizen forces. "But our military obligations are the same as those of all other citizens—the same as the obligations of any of the many fraternal organizations in the country." Much Proposed Legislation. So many ideas have developed in congress as to what should be done for the former service man, that Senator Robinson of Kansas has proposed the appointment of a special joint committee to keep tab on proposed legislation of that nature. Some 1,300 measures relating to insurance compensation, back pay, bonuses, homesteading privileges, home buying schemes, proposed loans and many other matters of interest to those who served with the colors, have been introduced in the present congress and referred to various committees. The average is almost three bills per member for both houses. Senator Robinson would have three men from the house and three from the senate appointed to sift the wheat from the chaff in all such legislation.

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?

MORAL—ADVERTISE BREAD Baked Cucumbers Are Pleasing to the Palate and Make an Inexpensive Dish. TRY CUCUMBERS IN MANY WAYS Not Many American Housekeepers Know Their Possibilities as Cooked Vegetable. FAVORED BY FOREIGN COOKS In Other Countries They Are Used in Same Manner as Corn, Eggplant and Squash—Afford Pleasant Change in Diet. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Cucumbers, when in season, are usually cheap—much cheaper than corn, beans, or peas—but the average family grows tired of them served raw and so by early fall comparatively few are being eaten in American homes. Not many American housekeepers know their possibilities as a cooked vegetable, but in other countries they are used in the same way as are eggplant, squash, and corn. They have a flavor all their own and afford a pleasant change in the diet. The following recipes have been taken largely from foreign cookbooks and are favorites of housewives of other countries. They have been tested by United States department of agriculture home economies specialists. Some day, when there are more cucumbers on the vines than can be used for pickles or in the usual salads, try one of these recipes. You may Baked Cucumbers Are Pleasing to find that your family will like them baked, boiled, or fried as well as do the Swiss or the French. Carnish for Fish and Meats. Garnish for Fish and Meats.

Time Used in Attention to Clothing Is Well Spent—Rods and Hangers Save Space and Prevent Unsightly Wrinkles. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Outer garments which are given careful attention wear so much longer and look so much better than those which are neglected that time spent in caring for them is well spent. The following hints for their care are given by home economic experts in the United States department of agriculture: Hang outer garments carefully when not in use. Plenty of rods and hangers save space and prevent wrinkles. Keep covers over delicate garments or those worn only occasionally to protect against dust and rubbing. Do not keep partly soiled garments in an unaired place. They are likely to become discolored. In putting garments away for the season, guard against wrinkling, stretching, fading and insects. Fold so that creases will correspond as far as possible with the folds into which the garment falls in use. Do not allow weight to rest on folded garments. Garments of firm materials may be left hanging if carefully covered against dust and insects; but sleazy materials, heavily trimmed garments, and circular skirts are likely to be stretched out of shape by their own weight. Keep in the dark to avoid changing color. Removable and washable collars, cuffs, and linings save cleaning in waven's dresses, waists and coats. --- ing the shell one-quarter to one-half inch in thickness. To four cucumbers use: 1 cup bread crumbs. 2 teaspoons onion. 1 tablespoon butter. finely chopped. 2 teaspoons salt. Pepper. The part of the cucumber scooped out.

HIGH LIVING COST REDUCED Housewives Must Be Informed as to High Nutritive Value of the Cheaper Foods. It is commonly remarked by those who study the living conditions of people of limited means in different parts of this country, for substantial improvement of their household economics, housewives must be informed as to the high nutritive value of the cheaper foods as compared with the costlier kinds, and the methods of cooking must be improved. A great deal of fuel is wasted in the preparation of food and even then a great deal of food is badly cooked say home economic specialists of the United States department of agriculture. To replace dear food badly cooked by cheaper food well cooked is important for both health and purse. To make the table more attractive is an efficient means for making the home life more enjoyable. All Around the House All Around the House Every child must be trained to brush its teeth twice a day. Do not place meat directly on ice, but on a plate over the ice. A freshly whitewashed cellar will give butter a strong taste. In making candy a teaspoonful of vinegar will prevent stickiness. Eliminate many of the rocking chairs from the living room and have more room to move about. Creamed vegetables are improved by standing over hot water for a quarter of an hour before serving. DEMAND REDS FREE CAPTIVES BOLSHEVISTS HOLDING AMERICANS IN PRISON, MUST RELEASE THEM. U. S. WILL RETALIATE REDS FEAR REFUGEES WILL REPORT ACTUAL CONDITIONS IN RUSSIA. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington, May 21.—Aroused by reports of the imprisonment and detention in soviet Russia of various American citizens, the State Department has taken steps to bring to bear indirect pressure on the Bolshevist authorities to obtain their release. A request has been addressed to the Austrian government through the American commissioner in Vienna asking that Hungarian communists, detained since their escape to Vienna from Budapest last year, and whose release has been made the subject of overtures by the Bolsheviki, shall be refused release pending the freeing of American citizens detained in Russia. Action by this government was taken, it was said, as a result of the suggestion of another government and was in accord with the views of other countries. One of the Americans known to be imprisoned in Russia by the Bolsheviks, Xenophon J. Kalamatiano, has been mad the subject of ineffectual representations for more than a year. According to latest reports received by the department, Kalamatiano is in close confinement and is being starved to death. No complete list of Americans held by the Bolsheviks is available, but enough is known of conditions in Russia to make the State Department cognizant of a rigorous system of surveillance on the part of the soviet authorities toward Americans. The Bolshevist government is holding as prisoners in Moscow the following Americans: Acnophon B. Kalamatiano, formerly of Racine, WIs., and Chicago, who is reported to be in a starving condition and under constant threat of execution. Mrs. Elizabeth Maria Julia T. Doty, wife of the American consul at Cardiff, Wales. Maron Hipman, formerly clerk in the American consulate general at Moscow. Dr. Lamble, an American dentist, and his wife (address not given). Mrs. Esther M. Hipman of Park Ridge, N. J., has made inquiries at the State Department regarding Maron Hipman. Other Americans, it was said, probably are being detained in Russia, but the department has been unable to obtain their names. To "Grubstake" Prospectors. Victoria, B, C.—A loan of $50,000 has been made to the British Columbia Department of Mines by the provincial advisory council of the Department of Industries to finance a plan to send out twenty-five parties of returned soldiers to prospect for minerals in this province. Mrs. Bergdoll Found Guilty. Philadelphia.—A verdict of guilty has been rendered against Mrs. Emma C. Bergdoll, who was charged with resisting a raiding party that captured her son, Grover Bergdoll, now serving five years for desertion from the army. Mrs. Bergdoll was fined $200-$50 on each of four counts of the indictment. French Editor Faces Jail. Paris.—Criminal proceedings have been begun against Populaire, edited by Jean Longuet, leader of Minority Socialists, in connection with an article under the caption, "The Recall of the Blacks," concerning the evacuation of Frankfort by French troops. The newspaper is charged with having committed "an outrage against the army." Woman Dies at 103 Years. Lewiston, Idaho,—Mrs. Harriet Boe said to be Idaho's oldest citizen, is dead at her home in Juliatta. She celebrated her 103rd birthday April 1. She has resided in Latha county for more than thirty years. Although she had been blind for several years she found pleasure in knitting until recently. Butter Too High for Huns. New York.-The American steamer South Pole which arrived here from Rotterdam, brought back a cargo of 208 tons of American butter shipped to Germany by Armour & Co. On account of the high prices, the German consignees refused to accept the butter. Villa Demands Guarantees In Camp With General Villa, Boquillas, Chilh.—Francisco Villa will not be satisfied with mere guarantees of personal safety from the newest revolutionary lenders in Mexico, he told the Associated Press in an exclusive interview at his camp in the mountains. Villa will demand guarantees concerning how the government is to be operated and before he returns to private life must see the guarantees in actual operation. Villa's force will not be disguised immediately. TheCammelUndertakingCo. Our motto: Service, Efficiency and Modern Conditions throughout. We care for our patrons as we would for ourselves. E. V.

Norman OFFICE PHONE CHAMPA 5960 Photo by Western Newspaper Union L BEAUTIFUL June is to see more bridal processions than ever helped to make it glorious before, at least so seF those who are making trousseux. There were a good many weddings at Easter time—and June brides are profiting by them—for they revealed more latitude in the styles adopted for wedding dresses than was expected, including many extreme departures from the conventional high neck and long sleeve. But heavy white satin remains unchallenged as the best of materials for the stately, regulation wedding gown, and brides selected it, even when they rejected the conventional in style. There is something so beautiful in the sheen of satin under the bridal vell that nothing will take its place. It is said that the Americans and the English showed more independence in adopting short-sleeved modes than the French, as they do in the matter of bridesmaids' dresses and hats. The advocate of long sleeves and high neck, of lace or net or other alry material, has the best au- Supplying Nee TAKING it for granted that something a little warmth giving is sure to be needed, especially at summer resorts, and remembering the spice that smart sweaters add to the dressrobe, a good many sweaters have been provided for summer wear. But even a greater number of substitutes for the sweater find a place in the displays at the shops, merely by way of variety. The favorite among these substitutes is the sweater coat usually made of tricolette in the knitted weaves, or of jersey cloth in silk or wool. Suits of these materials are furnished with coats that do double duty—worn quite as often with separate skirts as with those that belong to them. Angora cloth is a favorite accessory in collar and cuffs and in hands on these coats. Another substitute for the sweater is the wide scarf of knitted wool which has already made itself familiar and it comes in colors gay or sedate to suit all tastes. It is more or less wide—usually more—and quite long. Sometimes its ends are provided with pockets and a belt to match bears it company so that it can be held in place on the figure like a sleeveless sweater, or thrown about the neck when the belt is not needed. These scarfs are very cozy. Among the new arrivals in sweaters the lace-like patterns in knitting are great favorites and the lacy weaves in tricolette are popular for sweater coats. Avowing itself as belonging to --- thorties back of her, and cannot go wrong in following this mode, but fashion not only tolerates others, she encourages them, and the June bride may make her own choice. Nearly all sainn dresses are draped, many of them made up in combination with lace or lace trimmed. The draping is not intricate or the trimming lavish, and the result is the gowns are beautiful, like the example of the designers' conception of this year's wedding gown, shown in the picture. If one is willing to concede the short sleeves and low neck, there is nothing about it that could be improved upon. The pretty cap, with its very scant drill across the front, is made of fine duchess lace and has a long wreath of small orange buds that trail over it and fall in a slender spray at each side. The tulle veil is posed on the cap with the short end at the right side and the remainder falling to the end of the train. Lillies of the valley, with three or four white orchids among them, make the bouquet. d for Sweaters the summer season comes the slip-over, sleeveless sweater, knitted to hug the figure, like the model shown in the picture. It has a girdle to match with ends finished with little yarn tassels, and an angora collar in contrasting color. Another substitute for the regulation sweater is made of two short scarfs finished at the ends with knotted fringe of wool like that used in knitting them. They are tacked together at the back and held in place by a knitted girdle also finished with knotted fringe. The story of sweater coats can't be told without a line about the cloth and velvet coats to be worn with sport skirts. They are made in black and dark blue, worn with plain, striped or plaid skirts and conceded to be the most dignified of their kind—which makes them a favorite with women who look best in things of this character. Julia Bottomly Coat With Little Dress. Alone, a little dress may not be particularly distinctive, but just add a coat to "go with" the little dress, and a distinctive costume is usually the result. On the other hand, one has to pay dearly in the shops for that sort of thing. --- MADAM C. J. WALKER. President of the Madam Y.
