LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY "The World is Not a White Man's World- The Church of Jesus Christ is Not a White Mans Church." The Premises From Which the Ecumenical Address Delivered to the Methodist Conference Discusses the Race Question—Message to the Connection by Episcopal Bench Rings True on Present Day Problems; Deals Frankly With Economic, Political and Religious Crisis and Challenges Membership to Rise to Higher Ideals of Christian Service. VOL. XXVI. "The World is No World- The Church is Not a White I The Premises From Which the Ecu Methodist Conference Discusses the Connection by Episcopal Day Problems; Deals Frank and Religious Crisis and to Rise to Higher Ideas forces of the country are awakening, as never before, to a sense of their duty to assume aggressive and militant leadership in combating the forces of evil threatening the nation has been strikingly apparent in the official utterances, consisting of messages, charges and addresses emanating from representative religious gatherings which have been meeting for the last few months. These pronouncements have been confined to no one denomination. Religious bodies called orthodox and others accounted unorthodox have spoken. Protestants of various names—Jews, Roman Catholics and Episcopalians—in varying degrees, if judged by their official utterances, seem to have awakened to the fact that religion, if it means anything, has to correct conditions here and now; to teach men and women to live as brethren here and now; to see to it that men and women and little children have well-paved and clean streets and live in sanitary conditions in earthly cities rather than having to wait for the gold-paved streets of the heavenly Jerusalem hereafter. It is being gradually driven home that the church is not to follow public sentiment, but to lead and make public sentiment; not to bow to prejudice, which arrays man against man and class against class, but to combat it. Whenever the religious forces of America really awaken to a realization of this their true mission and faithfully and fearlessly insist upon a consistent practice of its tenets, man's injustice and inhumanity to man will cease. It is therefore a most hopeful sign that official religious bodies are taking high ground in their utterances which we believe must have a salutary effect upon their adherents. One of the most striking of these encouraging pronouncements is that issued by the Methodist Conference which has just closed its sessions at Des Moines. The Houston Informer epitomizes many of the salient points of the address and draws significant and noteworthy deductions therefrom with which the Monitor heartily agrees, in the following editorial: The Episcopal address, presented at the Methodist Episcopal general conference in Des Moines, Iowa, May 2, by Bishop William Fraser McDowell on behalf of the bishopric board of said church is the most fearless, comprehensive, prolific and far-reaching ecumenical deliverance in the history of that church or any church similarly constituted and situated. Employing as a theme, "What is our chief business at this conference?" the Episcopal address is pregnant and replete with a masterly and able presentation of the duty of the church in the present economic, political and religious crisis. ligious crisis: It deals at length upon the church and the youth, charging that not enough attention is paid to the youths of the country, who (those below 21 years of age) constitute 40 per cent of our entire population. It lays particular stress upon the kind of literature the children should read, as well as the type of education and caliber and capacity of the instructors. The message takes up the social and economic conditions; proclaims to the world "no compromise now and no nullification anywhere" on the iniquitous liquor traffic. The address contained this pertinent truth: "Evasion of laws regularly passed leads to anarchy and disregard of law. Lynching and other crimes follow the evasion of the Fifteenth Amendment. Anarchy will follow the evasion of the Eighteenth." In the discussion of the eternal "race question," the Episcopal address was predicated on two negative premises, viz.; (a) "The world is not a white man's world." (b) "The church of Jesus Christ is not a white man's church." It deplores the universality and acuteness of "race misunderstanding, race prejudice, race assertion and race discrimination," and sets forth the fact that a militant and aggressive Christianity is the only panacea for all our ills. It longs for the day when each professed believer in the teachings of the Lowly Nazarene will daily and hourly apply the Golden Rule, and become fully and completely reconciled and converted to the doctrine of the "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man." The Episcopal address took up every phase of church and connectional life and human endeavor, concluding with this admonition: "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Taken by and large, the message is a masterpiece and its main subject matter makes interesting and illuminating reading and nutritious spiritual food for all men, regardless of racial connection or denominational affiliation. Coming at such a crucial and trying period in our racial, national and international career, the message, and especially the adoption and execution of its suggested, well defined and ably outlined program, is sure to have a sobering and steadying effect. The church must become an aggressive, potential, active, alert, assertive, energetic and militant institution. It must blaze the pathway and not be content to serve in the role of "second fiddle." It must not only point the way to Christ, but it must lead both by precept and example, and decisively and permanently rout and overthrow the forces of obstruction and destruction; of oppression, Pharisaical hypocrisy and sham. The church has been asleep on its job, apparently, and the cause has suffered as a consequence. It has dealt too much in negative religion and not enough in positive Christianity. If the civilized world is to be saved from a terrible and terrifying calamity and catastrophe, if the race prejudice, antipathy, antagonism and discrimination are to be suppressed and obliterated; if truth is ever to ascend the throne and justice care naught for the color of the skin or texture of the hair; if swords are to be beaten into ploughshares and the reign of Mars cut short; if man's humanity to man is to cause countless thousands to rejoice and be exceedingly glad—the church of Christ must get on the job now and contend for the "faith once delivered unto the saints," realizing that "God is no respecter of persons." Unless the church becomes and remains militant, it can never hope to be triumphant.—The Monitor. DECISION OF EXECUTIVE ON ANTI LYNCHING BILL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People announced today the decision of its executive committee at headquarters, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, to support energetically the anti-lynching bill which was reported favorably by the House Judiciary committee on May 22nd and placed on the House calendar for early consideration. The association has requested its branches in states where colored people have a vote and can affect the political situation to let our congressmen know at once that they wish to have this bill passed. The association further stated that this favorable report of the House judiciary committee is the first direct result of the efforts of the association to secure federal action against lynching. Last fall and winter the association carried on an active campaign in the press and before Congress to secure an investigation of race riots and lynching and the passage of an act making lynching a federal offense, and on January 29, 1920, the national association and other organizations appeared at a hearing of the House judiciary committee in Washington on this matter, at which time the association was represented by James Weldon Johnson, field secretary; Arthur B Spingarn, chairman of the legal committee; Archibald H. Grimke, president of the association's District of Columbia branch; Neval H. Thomas, and George William Cook, members of the board of directors. The proposed bill entitles any resident of a state to appeal to federal courts for protection if he has reasonable cause to believe that the equal protection of the laws will be denied him in the state courts and provides that members of mobs will be subject to fine and imprisonment and that counties in which lynchings occur will be subject to a forfeiture of $10,000.

New Bedford, Mass., May 28.—The term, "marrying parson," has been applied to Rev. W. H. B. Heath, formerly of this city, but recently pastor of Hosannab A. M. E. Church of East Camden, N. J., following his death here a few weeks ago. It has been learned that Rev. Heath, although a stanch believer in the Bible, leaned slightly toward polygamy, in that he had three wives. The marrying parson's nuptial adventures came to light when a will was filed here shortly after his death. Rev. Heath married Miss Annie E. Vassals at East Camden in 1877. According to her story, they lived together for twenty years, until she left him on account of cruelty and bad treatment. After the separation, Rev. Heath wrote his wife asking her to return, but she refused. He was then pastoring a church in New Jersey and married wife No. 2. The second wife remained with the minister only a few weeks and left him when she learned he had not gotten a divorce from his first wife. Mrs. Annie Vassalsa-Heath, the minister's first wife, had heard nothing from her husband in recent years, until several weeks ago, when she saw a notice of his death and burial in the Christian Recorder. She left here for East Camden and there met her husband's third wife, whose maiden name was Miss Bertha Guy, Wife No. 1 immediately employed a lawyer to protect her rights and secured possession of several houses, money and pensions left by the minister. She also laid a claim before Bishop Evans Tyree. The bishop placed the claim before the church conference and was advised to give wife No. 3 a clergyman's pension, but wife No. 1 declares she will take the matter to court. While the question was pending the bishop gave meal tickets and obtained lodging places for both widows alike. FOREIGN.

Representative farmers of virtually every community in Morgan county met at Fort Morgan and effected the organization of the Morgan County Live Stock Co-operative Shipping Association. The purpose of the movement is to give the local farmer a direct market where he can make the last dollar possible for every head of livestock he sells. Two persons are injured almost every day in auto accidents in Denver according to figures compiled by the police surgeons in city hall. This year's report, which covers the period from Jan. 1 to May thus far, shows that sixty persons have been seriously injured, ninety-one slightly injured and seven killed in auto accidents during 1920. The Colorado Aggies have recently received a full sized silver football as a trophy for winning the Rocky Mountain Conference football championship last year. The token is a gift of J. A.

Grand Junction office girls have organized two baseball teams and plan to wear complete men's baseball suits, absolutely ignoring bloomer style suits.

WE MAKE OLD HATS NEW. The American Legion (Copi for This Department Supplied by National Headquarters of the American Legion.) DISCUSSES FOURFOLD PLAN National Commander D'Ollier Advises That Prompt Action Is Necessary to Get Results. Attempts of opponents of the American Legion's fourfold optional compensation plan to divert attention from the main issue by embroiling congress in a dispute over different revenue-producing schemes, playing off advocates of various plans against one another, are exposed by Franklin D'Ollier, national commander of the legion, in a divert attention from the main issue by embroiling congress in a dispute over different revenue-producing schemes, playing off advocates of various plans against one another, are exposed by Franklin D'Ollier, national commander of the legion, in a signed article in a recent issue of the American Legion Weekly. He writes: "The American Legion's fight for the fourfold optional compensation plan has entered a new phase. "The opposition, defeated in its attempt to invoke popular sentiment against the measure itself, has turned from the direct to the indirect method of attack. The new strategy is to strike the bill, through the instrument of a fomented controversy over methods of money raising. "Already the attempt is being made to divert attention from the bill to the question of the means by which the money shall be raised to carry out its provisions. If the advocates of different revenue-producing schemes can be played off against one another the congress embroiled in a dispute over money raising, in which the bill, occupying the role of innocent bystander, shall receive a mortal blow, this design will have succeeded. "The fourfold plan has withstood the closest scrutiny. The economic soundness of the land settlement, home aid and vocational training options and the fact that the fourth option can be paid automatically to the dependents of those who died, to all disabled and to those needing assistance, unknew the plan the best solution of the problem of beneficial legislation. "A majority of congress favor the bill. Congress, however, begins its summer vacation soon. Unless the bill is passed before that adjournment, the chances of its ultimate passage will be greatly impaired and the future of all ex-service beneficial legislation injuriously affected. National headquarters has pressed the legion's case with all the vigor It can command and has received admirable support from the membership. It is imperative that these efforts be sustained. State departments, posts and individuals throughout the country should continue to impress upon their senators and congressmen that the bill should be passed before adjournment and the question of money raising not be permitted to obstruct the real issue." BACK TO EARTH WITH BUMP Oregon and Wyoming Land Fliascos Not Creditable to Nation, Says Legion Weekly. The Oregon and Wyoming land flascos, states a writer in The American Legion Weekly, are not exactly creditable to a nation that prides itself, above all else, on its business efficiency. The machinery jammed somewhere—what machinery there was— for when farms go to 79 men out of 170,000, who exhibit enough interest to write to Washington about the land, then it is evident too few wheels are grinding. To the returning soldier his familiar America took on the aspect of an El Dorado. He reapproached it with something of the practical idealism of the immigrant. To be sure, he knew its streets were not gold paved, but he recollected how he had always heard it was the land of opportunity and how, from boyhood, he had seen people taking advantage of the opportunity. And to whom would America quicker extend the helping hand than her home-coming defenders? He had been shaken out of a rut in which he probably would have lived and died but for the war's coming. Being out, he determined not to drop back. He heard the call of the land. Picture the feelings, then, of some 800 of these pioneers who traveled to Wyoming only to find that less than a tenth of them could get the land they sought. Picture the feelings of the men who went to Oregon to be shown desolate tracts that reminded of the rockiest, thorniest passes of the Argonne. The land and home features of the legion's four-fold compensation plan cannot make the desert bloom, nor can they divide government sections so as to make room for all comers. But they can see to it that the machinery is adequate to give all land-loving ex-service men opportunity to establish their homes wherever they want them; and to prevent such costly and disappointing stumpties as Oregon and Wyoming lost have witnessed. OBJECTS OF THE AUXILIARY Women's Branch of Legion Has Same Ideas and Plans as Men's Organization. The objects of the women's auxiliary are the same as those expressed in the constitution of the American Legion, and as that constitution was adopted conformably to the act of congress of September 16, 1919, incorporating the legion, the auxiliary and all its units. "For God and Country," reads the preamble to the constitution, "we associate ourselves together for the following purposes: "To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America; to maintain law and order, to foster and perpetuate a 100 per cent Americanism; to preserve the memories and incidents of our association in the great war; to inculcate a sense of individual obligation to the community, state and nation; to combat the autocracy of both the classes and the masses; to make right the master of might; to promote peace and good will on earth; to safeguard and transmit to posterity the principles of justice, freedom and democracy; to consecrate and sanctify our comradeship by our devotion to mutual helpfulness." There are many forces which have served to give impetus to the movement among eligible American women to become actively identified with the legion through one or another of its more than 9,000 community posts, but to this preamble, more than to any other one thing, is attributed the success and nation-wide enthusiasm which has greeted everywhere the suggestion of forming an auxiliary unit. When it is considered that this suggestion usually comes from the individual legionnaire direct to his mother, wife, sister or daughter, who in turn transmits it to women relatives of other legionnaires in her community, thus invited to join by the double instigation both within and outside the immediate family circle, it is easily understood that such an appeal proves almost universally irresistible. LEGION'S FOURFOLD PROGRAM Members Urged to Familiarize Themselves With Facts Concerning Beneficial Legislation. The American Legion's fourfold optional plan of beneficial legislation embraces the following provisions: 1. Land settlement, whereby ex-service men will be assisted in purchasing a farm in any state, reimbursing the government for funds advanced by easy payments extending over a period of ten years or more. 2. Home aid, whereby ex-service men will get government assistance in purchasing a home. 3. Vocational training, whereby an ex-service man may learn a trade or vocation with the assistance of the government. 4. Adjusted compensation based on length of military service. This would go automatically to the beneficiaries of those who died in service, to all disabled men, and to those ex-service men who do not elect to avail themselves of one of the foregoing provisions. The plan is designed to overcome the financial disadvantages incidental to military service. It is the result of a careful study of the needs and wishes of ex-service men of every state. The economic value to the United States of re-establishing the ex-soldier in the present period of adjustment and low production is considered to be great. The legion has asked that congress in meeting the nation's obligation to the ex-service man, be as liberal as is consistent with the welfare of the country. It has recommended that the extent to which assistance is given the individual ex-service man be based upon his length of service. Members of the legion are urged to familiarize themselves with these facts so that they may assist in dispelling the misunderstanding now surrounding the legion's program. Ohio Post Sets Record Springfield, O., has hung up a record in getting new members for the Legion that other communities will have a hard time bettering. The Springfield post put on its campaign for four days recently. The city was organized into ward and precinct teams. Solicitors worked in pairs and backed applicants into corners and took their cash, usually without protest. The names of men who refused to join were turned in at post headquarters and a corps of expert salesmen were put on the trail of these hard nuts. The friendly co-operation of business houses, newspapers and motion picture theaters was secured. The result loomed up when the dust settled after the four days and it was discovered that the post had increased its membership from 150 to 1,700. Sure Was Embarrassed. "I suppose you were very frightened once or twice in France?" "Naw. Once, though. I was sure embarrassed. I was just going into an estaminet. Had my hand on the door-knob, when along comes a Boche seventy-seven. knocks the whole blamed shanty into kingdom come, and leaves me there with the door-knob in my hand. I sure felt foolish." Two Posts Combine Two posts of the American Legio organized in Galveston, Tex., combine their membership and the organization is now known as Argonne post No. 20. The post has its own clubrooms with a library, billiard room and bathrooms LIVES IN MEMORY New Yorker Recalls Delightful Evening With Twain. Satisfied That He Saw Great Humorist at His Best When He Sat by the Fireside and Smoked With Him. It is only about forty years since I spent a most delightful evening with Mr. and Mrs. Clemens at their newly-built home in Hartford, yet the Sun and New York Herald refers to the house as "one of the oldest residences in New England from the point of construction," says the writer of a letter to that newspaper. Undoubtedly your reporter wrote that it was "one of the oddest," and he was right. The types were guilty of a characteristic prank. We sat in front of a goodly old-fashioned fireplace and smoked such tobacco as Mark liked—that is, he and I did—in the long-stemmed clay pipes they call churchwardens, while Mrs. Clemens looked on with smiling toleration, contributing the gracious charm of her presence to the entertainment he was giving to a casual guest who had scant claim to the hospitality he was enjoying. I had called as a stranger on professional business and had been received socially. Clemens was at his best—and let me say that best was never bettered by anyone else. His monologue of narrative and epigrams was drawled out through a long evening, as I laughed and Mrs. Clemens smiled, and Mark busied himself cleaning, burning out and filling pipe after pipe—there were a dozen of them standing in the corners of the fireplace—and handling them to me or lighting one for himself as fast or even faster than they were needed. There were two of them alight all the time. I wish I could remember what he said, but I can recall only one remark, and that was too trivial to repeat, though I laughed at it as heartily as I did at all the other nonsense. It was not what he said so much as the way he said it. P. T. Barnum, the great showman, told me that he, too, kept on laughing all the time Mark Twain talked to him. "But my wife doesn't," he said. "Mrs. Barnum has not a very keen sense of humor and she is a little afraid of laughing at the wrong time, so she sometimes seems unappreciative when Mark is really funny even for him. "She has found out for herself, though, a pretty good rule to go by," he continued. "You see, she and I frequently visit with Mr. and Mrs. Clemens, and I noticed after a while that she was always watching Mrs. Clemens, so I asked her why she did it, and she told me that it was because Mrs. Clemens did not always laugh as other people did when Mark spoke. 'But when she laughs,' said Mrs. Barnum. 'I know it must be really funny, so I laugh too.' "I call that pretty shrewd," continued the old showman with one of his own hearty ha-has, "and I took to doing the same thing myself. It worked well, I must say, for I noticed after a while that Mrs. Clemens never laughed excepting at the very best of Mark's jokes. I suppose she must have got tired laughing all the time before that." I knew the great man for a long time after that wonderful evening, but I never felt that I knew him any better. Colossal German Theater. Colossal German Theater One of the world's most colossal theaters, and by far the most bizarre, is the great auditorium recently opened in Berlin. The dreary exterior of the building is monstrous, but gives little promise of the surprise within. The curving walls of the foyer, says an illustrated article in Popular Mechanics Magazine for May, merge into a domed roof, supported by carved mahogany columns. The upper portion of each column is formed by many disks that radiate orange and blue light from concealed bulbs. The auditorium itself suggests the Greek openair amphitheater. The 3,000 seats are ranged in horseshoe plan around an arena, or more properly, an orchestra. Chess Expert Doomed. Senor Capablanca has set up as remarkable a record as ever was made in any sport in his chess exhibitions in Great Britain and Ireland. His total score in 1,352 games is 1,253 wins, 71 draws, and 28 losses. His opponents have included all the best English players. He takes them on thirty or more at a time. To each move on the board the Cuban master devotes an average of nine seconds, his victims six minutes. Recalling the tragic history of the great chess experts, of Morphy and others, one asks fearfully, when will Capablanca go insane?—New York Globe. Made Vacation Profitable.

ANTI-LYNCH LAW LEGISLATION. AT LAST the Congress of the United States is awakening to the danger of the frequency, enormity and spread of "mob law," especially in the southern states, and an "Anti-Lynch Law," prepared and presented by Hon. L. C. Dyer, congressman from St. Louis, has recently been reported out of committee and recommended for speedy passage by the judiciary committee which had the bill under consideration. Representative Dyer, who drafted the bill, made a lengthy report on the matter of lynching, giving accurate statistics of the number of lynchings that have occurred in each state in the United States, and attributed the great unrest among Negroes largely to lynching and that several ex-presidents have urged that such a law was necessary to curb lynching and should be placed upon the statute books. We heartily commend Congressman Dyer forh is humane efforts to put an end to such brutal barbarity that has become a regular pastime in some parts of the country, accompanied by big bonfires and parades headed by brass bands, with the participants bearing aloft on poles parts of the charred remains of the victims. Too long has Congress delayed in the passage of such a law. This nation has been degraded, disgraced and made ashamed before the world because of the lack of courage of Congress to put a stop to this crime. This practice of lynching does not stop crime, but on the other hand tends to undermine the laws of the state which affords protection to all citizens alike. If lynching was allowed to go on and on, some day the lynchers will begin to lynch even those who are of the same race. What are the provisions of this ANTI-LYNCHING LAW? It provides that any resident would be entitled to appeal to the federal courts for protection on the ground that he had reasonable cause to believe that equal protection of the laws would be denied him in the state courts. Participants in mobs would be subject to fine and imprisonment, and counties in which lynchings occur would be subject to the forfeiture of $10,000. This last clause will have a greater tendency to put a stop to lynching than any other feature of the bill. Let one or two southern counties be compelled to forfeit $10,000 because of a lynching bee, and cause the taxes to pile up, and you will see the taxpayers electing sheriffs and constables who will protect all prisoners alike. That Congress has the undisputed right and constitutional power to enact such a law is beyond question. A MAN'S WORD. TO ANY MAN, rich or poor, black or white, there is no greater stigma that can be placed against him, than to be known in the community in which he lives "AS A MAN WHOSE WORD CANNOT BE DEPENDED UPON." On the other hand, there is no greater honor that can come to a man than to be known by friend or foe alike as "HE IS A MAN OF HIS WORD." How often, in this busy world of ours, do we find many men who do not regard their word for a moment. They will tell you solemnly that you can absolutely depend upon them, that they will never go back upon their world, and you will believe them. But just wait until you have the need to call upon these men of their word to fulfill, then you will see them doing the "Crab Stunt." Then, again, how refreshing, inspiring and encouraging to see a man in your community that is known, loved and respected by everyone simply because he is known as "a man of his word." It is a common weakness of many of us to hold our word too lightly. We give our word too freely and quickly, without proper consideration, and when the time comes to live up to our given word we fail. Real men are not wont to disregard their word and hold their promises as sacred. There can be hardly any excuse for a man to deliberately and wilfully make a promise or give his word and then to carelessly and lightly break that promise or fail to keep his word. Show us a man who scrupulously keeps his word or his promise and we will show you a man who is self-respecting and reliable and honorable. As little as we may think, many men, in fact all men, may be judged as to their character by the manner in which they regard their word. What we need today is men of honor, men who regard their word the same as they regard their life. What is more disgusting, contemptible than to be bored by a worthless, no-man-of-his-word-man. Such a person is a scourge to society, a nuisance and fit only to live to himself in a cave. Then to our young men, especially, let us advise the cultivation of the beautiful and honorable habit of standing upon your word. and all efforts to locate them have proved futile, although the country teems with armed posses intent upon dealing summary justice to the two colored men. Following the killing, feeling between the races ran so high that riots were narrowly averted several times. LABORERS DESERT ALABAMA FARMS. Castleberry, Ala., May 21.—Strawberries on the berry plantations in this section are rotting on the vines, and farmers are standing to lose thousands of dollars because of the sudden and almost complete exodus of colored farm hands from this county following the intense race feeling and threatened mob violence on account of the killing of a white farmer by two colored boys. All Colored Residents Threatened. Failure to capture the slayers so infuriated the whites that threats were made that unless they were captured every colored man in town would be whipped. These threats had an unexpected result in the fleeing of practically all the colored farm help of the county. Agriculture is now at a standstill, and unless the colored farmers can be induced to return, all crops will be practically a failure. Exertiment Forbewed Riding. Dan Whittle and Willis Whittle engaged in a fight with Charles Saren, white, resulting from an automobile collision, and killed him. The two men escaped to the swamps heavily armed. Reasons Why the Excess Profits Tax Should Be Abolished at Once. Reasons Why the Excess Profits Tax Should Be Abolished at Once. By J. H. TREGO, Sec'y-Treas. Nat'l Ass'n of Credit Men. There are many reasons why the so-called excess profits tax should be abolished. One of the principal ones is the inequalities that are so evident. Under the present system of taxing the earnings of corporate investment, there has been no relation between the tax assessed against the income of the corporation (which income is the property of the stockholders) and the income and ability to pay of the individual stockholder, to whom in reality the income belongs and against whose income the tax is in reality assessed. Therefore, the percentage of tax paid by the corpora- There are many reasons why the so-called excess profits tax should be abolished. One of the principal ones is the inequalities that are so evident. Under the present system of taxing the earnings of corporate investment, there has been no relation between the tax assessed against the income of the corporation (which income is the property of the stockholders) and the income and ability to pay of the individual stockholder, to whom in reality the income belongs and against whose income the tax is in reality assessed. Therefore, the percentage of tax paid by the corporation has in effect been a flat rate tax on the income of all stockholders, both large and small (regardless of whether they may have a total income exceeding their exemption or not), and has not in any sense been assessed with regard to the individual's income and ability to pay. This means that the small stockholder has paid indirectly the same per cent of tax with respect to his income from corporate investment as the large stockholder in the same enterprise. Many people do not realize that a corporation is really just a group of everyday, plain, honest American citizens, acting as a single person under a corporate name. There are thousands of cases where the stockholders have only small incomes, of a size that does not make them liable for any income tax. Congress instituted the present excess profits tax on corporations for the purpose of having it paid by people of wealth and large income. That capital must have its reward if it accepts a hazard and that the prospect of reward must be greater than if there were no hazard, is generally acknowledged. Most of our great inventions never would have been developed if they had been dependent for capital on an 8 per cent return with no compensation promised for the losses and only a half interest in the profits over the 8 per cent. The United States has grown to be what it is today because its citizens were courageous and were willing to back new enterprises and enter new fields, to put their capital at building or developing something new and untried in the hope of extra returns. If these returns are to be denied them, they are not likely to venture in these hazardous enterprises and the country as a whole will lose because of this lack of development. If American ingenuity is to be encouraged, if new fields of endeavor are to be sought, if the United States is to progress, the people who take the chances must be rewarded. The time has arrived for our lawmakers at Washington to eliminate the excess profits tax and the corporation income tax. I believe that congress should take such action which will result in every individual paying his share of government expenses in proportion to his total personal income and ability to pay; thus doing away with the inequalities now existing. United States Commerce Has Greater Need for Waterways Than Ever. By BRIG. GEN. F. T. HINES, Transportation Division, War Dep't. Commerce has a greater, more urgent need for waterways today than ever before. The present rail situation is sufficient evidence of this. The railroad today views the waterway not as an undesirable competitor, but as a very necessary ally in the solution of the enormous national transportation problems which we are now facing. The demands which the railroads are being called upon to meet are greatly in excess of their combined facilities. There is an existing unsupplied demand for 800,000 freight cars alone. Railroad men have admitted that every locomotive plant in the country would have to work at capacity for three years to enable the railroads to even catch up with the actual demands now made upon them. It will thus be seen that the railroads are physically unable to meet the transportation demands of this new era. Of this work the waterway must perform an important share. And in assisting waterways to assume a considerable portion of the transportation burdens of commerce, the war department, which has control over government inland waterways transportation, desires to become a material factor. The operation of the several barge services already initiated is but a single, although vital, phase of this new undertaking. Within the next few months it is anticipated that the complete river fleet, as originally planned for Mississippi operation by the railroad administration, will be in service. This equipment will total forty steel cargo barges and six steel twin-screw towboats. Manufacturers Are Ready for an Era of "Standardized Dress" for Women. By HELEN LOUISE JOHNSON, Editor General Federation Magazine. I made an investigation of the matter from the producers' standpoint as well as from the consumers'. I visited the houses of ready-to-wear clothes makers. In the case of big concerns I found that the manufacturers were ready for an era of "standardized dress." The big firms showed me that there was great loss to them in the vagaries and variations of style. The styles in suits and dresses are unstable, and it is practically a gamble each year for the manufacturer and even for the retailer as to how many of each to make and how many to buy. The same state of things holds true for collars and frills and blouses. The precariousness of choosing and making women's ready-to-wear garments has one result: women's clothes are of poorer material than men's clothes of the same price. There are three requisites for standardized dress. First the style must be one that can be made becoming to any woman, large or small, thin or deshy. Second, it must be adaptable to any material. Third, it must be convertible to a suit or a dress. This style may be varied with trimmings, with a shortening of the tunic, with a new collar and by widening or narrowing the plaits. Changes in color and in combination of color make it a different dress, although the basic principles are the same. 9 THE COLORADO STATESMAN --- The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West --- A RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

Chaplain Scott of the Tenth U. S. cavalry stopped off in Denver from the general conference of the A. M. E. church at St. Louis. He preached on last Sunday morning at Shorter A. M.

The chaplain was pastor of Shorter's church 20 years ago and it seemed natural to him and to all of the older members of the church to see him in the pulpit. The chaplain spent a very enjoyable visit while here and was royally entertained by several of his old friends and admirers. On Monday evening he delivered a lecture at the Shorter A. M.

Special mention must be made of our boys in the band, instructed by Conductor Innes, who is always glad to teach those who have the ability to grasp as well as appreciate his services. The following boys are members of the band: Fred Polk, playing the baritone; Harry Polk, the French horn; Quentin Harrington, the saxophone, and Henry Gale, the alto horn. We extend our congratulations to the Boy Scout Movement and hope parents and the public in general will be particularly interested. OUR GRADUATES. Is our race progressing? Are we striving for more knowledge These are perhaps two of the numerous queries which cause much talk concerning our people. Yes, our race is progressing, and each one of us is doing all in our ability to sustain its rapid, successful progressiveness. We, as a race, are always eager for more knowledge. It is one of our highest ideals to become a more progressive, intelligent race. It remains upon the development of the young men and women of today to be the makers of our race. We are proud of the young men and women who have striven and will attain the honor of receiving from the public high schools of this city their diplomas at the city Auditorium, June 11, at 8 p. m. They are: East Side High—Stella Reed, Zula Gwyn, Edna Over, Cleo Hobson, Pennie Elliot, Milton Wilson, Louise Maise. North Side High—Oressa McCullough. Manual High—Carrie Brickler, Myrtel Smith, Myra Glenn, Genive Coby, --- Mary Todd Lincoln Mrs. Isabel Stewart, Republican national organizer for the Negro Women of the West, left this afternoon to attend the Republican National Convention at Chicago, Ill., to be absent about two or three weeks. Upon her return she will assume the duties of her appointment and will be prepared to bring final instructions along all lines pertaining to her work.

The heavy, black clouds that hung so low over the city that morning began to break by 9 o'clock, and by noon the skies were as clear as a bell. The people were hungering and thirsting for just such an outing. For by the time it was ascertained that the day was to be clear, they began pouring into Rocky Mountain Lake park in streams. They came on foot, they came on trolley cars, they came on bicycles and in automobiles—men, and handsomely dressed women, and boys and girls—all bent upon having a full, rich day. It was estimated that twelve hundred people were in attendance. The manager of the park declared to members of the committee that he had never seen a finer and better behaved crowd than the one on that day. The joint committee of the Y. M. and the Y. W. C. A. are justly pleased with the result. The winners in the contests will be given in these notes next week. The regular monthly meeting of the committee of Management was held last Wednesday evening, at which a great deal of business was transacted. Among other things the committee decided to bring Prof. Kelly Miller of Howard University to Denver to deliver a lecture early in July. It was also decided to close the Sunday afternoon meetings for the summer. Should anything else arise of interest to the membership and public as a whole, they will be called in a special meeting. This meeting will be the last regular meeting of the committee until the early fall, unless something of importance should arise requiring their attention. Croquet is beginning to warm up, and every day finds some players on the court. Great times are just ahead. As there will be no meeting of the Y. M. C. A. next Sunday afternoon, it is hoped that as many of our members as possible will attend the dedicatory services of the new Y. W. C. A. building and help to give them a fine "sound-off."

A pupil quickly answered: "Throw water on yourself!" The professional mixer of paints knows that fierce color discord can easily be created by a misplacing of green. But Nature never misplaces it. Even blue stands without tying, cheek by cheek with Nature's greens. Lark-spurs and lobellias go quietly arm in arm with their respective foliage. Any rose of any that or color is best set off by a green rose leaf. Every spring or fall color, pale or florid, will shade pleasantly into green on the very same leaf. Isle of Napoleon's Exile False conceptions prevail of St. Helena, where Napoleon lived and died after his defeat and humiliation at Waterloo. It is credited with being a most ugly island. Exactly the opposite is the case. Not only is it not a rock, but a very beautiful, well-wooded and well-watered island, and also, on the whole, if one had to choose the most perfect climate existing anywhere in this world, the prize would have to go to St. Helena, and especially that part in which Longwood (Napoleon's residence) is situated. Beware of Lost Minutes. "In the dynamics of human affairs," said a learned man, "two qualities are essential to greatness—power and promptitude. The former is often the fruit of the latter. A man or woman who is impressed with the value of time will make every minute count to such purpose that his or her life will inevitably bear the stamp of power." —Orison Swett Marden in Chicago Daily News.

Source of Tears. "Where do tears come from?" In each eye there is a small duct called the tear duct. This little gland is constantly making tears and washing the eye. The eye "winkers" are the brushes that wash the particles of dust away from the delicate portions of the eye. When we cry the tear gland "works overtime" sending one tear chasing another, like rain drops on the window pane. Children and Books. It does the child no harm to make the acquaintance of books which were not written for children. In a home where the great books that have inspired or amused successive generations are accessible, an active-minded child is likely at some time or other to get at them. If we want our children to fall in love with the better kind of books, let us provide them with opportunities for meeting such books without too much formality. Hellenist Hellenes was one of the names of the inhabitants of ancient Greece, and the word Hellenist meant one who affected Greek manners, especially a person of Jewish extraction who used the Greek language as his mother tongue, as did the Jews of Asia Minor, Greece, Syria and elsewhere. Many of the Jews scattered through the provinces of Asia Minor during the first century of the Christian era were Hellenists. No Fear of Phosphate Famine. Reserves of phosphate on the Island of Naurn, in the Pacific, are believed to be sufficient to meet the demands of the world for 200 years. Anything from 80,000,000 to 100,000,000 tons are available, and possibly more. From the early times gold was used for the wedding ring, and tradition has it that the ring should be absolutely plain. It has been long recognized that the diamond ring can never replace the plain band ring. A reason for the preference given to the ring without the setting is offered by Fuller in his "Holy State," where he says: "Marrige with a diamond ring foreshadows evil, because the interruption of the circle augured that the reciprocal regard of the spouse might not be perpetual." Patience the Greatest Ellixir. Life has such hard conditions that every dear and precious gift, every rare virtue, every genial endowment, love, hope, joy, wilt, sprightfulness, be nevolence, must sometimes be put into the crucible to distill the one elixir—patience—Gail Hamilton.

Michaelson's 15TH AND LARIMER STS. THE MOTORCAR Glenn H. Curtiss, the celebrated airplane inventor and builder, has come to the fore with a "motor bungalow," which in compactness and serviceability, far surpasses any vehicle yet produced along those lines. The idea back of the car is that of a miniature Biltmore which is easily hitched to an automobile and can be whisked along at a speed of from 50 to 60 miles an hour without the occupants being conscious of the added burden. The useful characteristic of the attached car comes when it is opened for camp service. By raising the sides and inserting screen frames, the car may be made up into two complete rooms with ample sleeping facilities for two people in the fore end and four people in the aft end. There is a full screen equipment for protection against flies and mosquitoes. A door at the rear leads to a compartment where equipment necessary to put up camp is stored. A kitchen, pantry, toilet facilities, ice box, electric lights, a running water system and a tent cot for the use of the chauffeur are amongst its improvements. LUBRICATION IS OF IMPORTANCE Life of Engine and Car Depends on Proper Oiling of Many Different Parts. PREVENT METALS TOUCHING To Avoid Trouble With Bearings or Cylinders Put in an Extra Pint of Oil Every Hundred Miles—Don't Wait for Squeak. "The life of your engine and car depends upon lubrication," is the subject of an article appearing in a recent issue of an automobile magazine. The principle of lubrication is to prevent any two pieces of metal that are working one against the other from touching. This is accomplished by having a film of oil between these two metals. Upon this film of oil depends the life of bearings, cylinders and piston rings. Only three different grades of lubricants are used. The owner should provide himself with a supply of gas cylinder oil, grease and steam engine oil. Right Oil for Engine. Never use steam engine oil or anything but a pure mineral oil in the engine. Fast running or riding over heavy and billy roads uses up oil much faster than city driving. Put in an extra pint of oil every hundred miles or so. This precaution will avoid trouble with bearings or cylinders. Once a month or every thousand miles, the oil in the crank case should be drained off and a fresh supply poured in. The oil may be drained by removing the drain plug at the bottom of oil pan. After draining, flush the crank case with kerosene through the breather pipe, replace drain plug and retill with clean oil. Be absolutely sure that all the kerosene is drained off, otherwise it will mix with the fresh oil and will cut down its lubricating qualities. Trouble Follows Squeak. Don't wait until you hear a "squeak" before oiling. A "squeak" means a rusted or dry bearing, and when once in that condition trouble soon follows. The compact construction of some cars makes necessary the placing of oil holes and grease cups under the floor boards of the car. Don't, because it might cause you a little extra trouble, forget to remove them and lubricate as directed. PREVENT RATTLES IN DOORS Apply Small Piece of Rubber to Fill Out Vibrating Space-Anti-Rattlers Are Very Good. When something seems to rattle around the body of your machine and you don't know just what it is, get someone to hold the doors tight while you drive, says American Motorist. If that stops the rattle, get some anti-rattlers for the doors and apply them; or fasten a small piece of rubber on your door to fill out the vibrating space. ATTACH CABLE TO BATTERY In Case of Emergency Insulation May Be Stripped Back for Two or Three Inches. In cases of emergency, it is possible to attach a cable to the battery by stripping back the insulation for two or three inches, prying apart the strands and then placing a washer on each side of the cable, after which the aut is screwed down, holding the cable firmly in place. WOULD YOU BELIEVE? The first New York automobile was in 1900. In 1898 gasoline sold for six cents a gallon. The first four cylinder car brought out in 1900. In 1896 Barnum & Bailey announced that they would exhibit a horseless carriage. In 1898 Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Chauncey M. Depew and John Jacob Astor were judges of the second automobile contest held in this country. There were only four automobiles in the United States in 1896. The first long-distance auto tour from Cleveland to New York was made in ten days. The first transcontinental run from New York to San Francisco was made in two months. --- TAKE DENTS OUT OF GUARDS Difficult Task May Be Performed by Cutting Out Protruding Parts and Soldering. During my experience as a mechanic in the automobile business, I have found that to remove dents in fenders and mudguards is a rather difficult job. To try and hammer DENT MUD GUARD SAW CUTS SOLDERED SOLDER SCRAPED PLUSH PAINTED A decidedly novel way to eliminate dents and restore the original luster of the enamel. them out, flat, will only buckle the dent from one side to the other. A better method is to saw the dent or protruding portion into an X-shape (see illustration). The saw-cuts will relieve the strain and the dent can then be hammered out. The saw-cuts are hammered out flat, soldered up, the solder being scraped flush. When the section is repainted one cannot tell where the dent formerly was. William Farrell in Popular Science Monthly. AUTOMOBILE NEWS In case of a blowout examine the tube you are going to use carefully. Water condenses during the cold weather much more readily than in hot. The life of the bearings of a car determines the usefulness of the entire machine. See that your brakes are properly set if you leave your car on an incline, and also turn your front wheels toward the curb. Watch for the pedestrian who tries to cross the street after you have received the traffic officer's signal to go ahead. No garage pit is needed to make repairs beneath an auto conveniently if an automobile lift of recent invention is available. When metal parts are to be exposed to the air any length of time precaution should be taken to prevent the formation of rust. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS To Establish Redwoods National Park U. S. Senators Human Beings After All The Old Capable of Useful Achievements The Old Capable of Useful Achievements Dewey's House to Be Turned Into Store WASHINGTON.—The house has passed the following resolution: "Resolved, That the secretary of the interior be, and is hereby, directed to investigate and report to the house of representatives as to the suitability, location, cost, if any, and advisability of securing a tract or tracts of land in the state of California containing a stand of typical redwood trees of the species 'Sequoia Sempervirens' with a view that such land be set apart and dedicated as a national park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people of the United States and for the purpose of preserving such trees from destruction and extinction, and also as to whether or not the whole or any part of such lands or the purchase price thereof would be donated to the United States, and the probable cost of maintaining such lands as a part of the national park system." UNITED States senators—members of the "most august legislative body" in the world—as a rule take themselves mighty seriously. Yet they have been given nicknames, just like small boys, prize fighters and ball players. The Washington newspaper correspondents are responsible for most of these nicknames. It's easier, you see, to say "Quinice" than to say "Joslah Quintus Bobb of Massyviana." Also, these correspondents in the senate press gallery have learned that senators are only human beings after all. Some of these nicknames are rather clever; others are decidedly forced. For example, the two leaders in the treaty fight, Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, and Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, both have their nicknames. Senator Hitchcock is regularly alluded to as "Hitchy-Koo," while the "Cabot" in his opponent's name has resulted in "Cabbage." The identity of some of the senators bearing picturesque sobriquets may not be revealed, for obvious reasons. For instance, it would be impossible to tell the name of the senator who is called "Polonius," because of his heavy style and podgy wit. Nor would it be wise to disclose the name of the senator who is termed "Sweetheart" on account of his dapper manner, minding way of speaking and general cunningness. It would never do to divulge the individuality of "The Boy Orator," or of "The Migratory Bird." I'M ONLY 98 YEARS OLD SENATOR Thomas of Colorado read into a Record the other day, dur- ing a discussion of pension matters, a letter from John W. Riley, eighty-two years, a veteran of the Civil war, in part, as follows: "Nowadays mere years are no sign of either physical or mental diminution. There is living at the Dayton Military home a veteran who will be 100 years old next June—Comrade W. E. Bayne, of Barracks No. 7. He is as active in body and mind as any man half his age; is commander of Veteran Post, No. 5, of the Grand Army of the Republic. Look at 'Uncle Joe' Cannon, ex-speaker of the house, over eight-three, hale and hearty. "And lest we forget. Tittan was PURCHASED with pennies of school children and the contributions of patriotic citizens as a tribute to a hero, the house at 1747 Rhode Island avenue, given to Admiral George Dewey in 1890, has been sold out of the family and is being converted into a store. The permit for dismantling this gift of the people is issued to Mrs. Francis Pitney of New Jersey, wife of John Ballantyne Pitney, a relative of Supreme Court Justice Mahon H. Pitney. Mrs. Pitney is a daughter of Mrs. John R. Williams of Washington. The property was transferred to her several weeks ago under deed by Milfred McLean Dewey, widow of the admiral, and George G. Dewey, his son. This residence was possibly the largest factor in dimming the halo of one of the most popular figures ever before the American public. The admiral was more than a year reaching America after his exploit of May day, 1898. The American people invaded upon doing some handsome 图 When the clerk read the resolution, which came up on the unanimous consent calendar, the following took place: Mr. Walsh—Mr. Speaker, reserving the right to object, I would like to ask the gentleman if the secretary of the interior has exclusive jurisdiction over forest reserves? Mr. Lea of California—I think the department of agriculture has exclusive jurisdiction over the forest reserves and the secretary of the interior has jurisdiction over the parks. Mr. Walsh—This would be treated differently from forest reserves if this tract was acquired? Mr. Lea of California—Yes; so I understand. Mr. Walsh is from Massachusetts and New England is always active in nation; I park legislation. But the expected opposition didn't develop. Sequoia National park (to be enlarged and its name changed to Roosevelt) preserves the "Sequoia gigantia," or Big Trees. The redwood is its first cousin and is being extensively lumbered. The movement to save the redwood from extinction by establishing the Redwoods National park has resulted in the formation of a "Save the Redwoods League," with nation-wide membership. THERES' KENTUCKY GAMBLER AN 'HOG EYE - THAT SO ? It would not be quite sporting, either, to tell who is called "The Kentucky Gambler." It is disagreeable, but true that another senator is known as "Hog Eye." Senator Owen of Oklahoma is referred to as "Oconostota," he is part Cherokee and this is his Indian name. Senator Simmons of North Carolina is known as "Fern," his given name being Furnifold. "Meddle" McCormick of Illinois. "Carter" Glass of Virginia—the way he pronounces it himself—"Doc" France of Maryland, who is a physician, and "Atlas" Pomerene of Ohio, whose actual name is Atlee, cannot object to these puns.

The deed to the house was delivered to Admiral Dewey October 25, 1899, about two weeks before his wedding. Three weeks later there was a wave of protest when he transferred the house to Mrs. Dewey. It was afterward transferred to the admiral's son George Dewey. Admiral Dewey died January 16, 1917. REPORT POLISH ARMY IN FLIGHT REPORT POLISH ARMY IN FLIGHT RUSSIAN BOLSHEVIST FORCES ARE ADVANCING ON EACH END POLISH FRONT. POLES HOLDING RIVER TRADE RELATIONS BETWEEN ENGLAND AND RUSSIA HAVE NOT YET BEGUN. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Copenhagen, June 4.—It is reported here that the Polish army is in wild flight, pursued by an enormous Bolshevist force. Constantinople.—The Persian legation here has received a dispatch saying that the Bolsheviki had entered Teheran, the capital of Persia. London.—Russian Bolshevist forces are advancing on each end of the Polish front, but are being held along the Beresina river, according to an official statement issued at Moscow and received here by wireless. Reports that Poland had requested British intervention in order to effect a Russo-Polish armistice were denied in British official circles. Trade negotiations between the allies and Gregory Krassis, Russian soviet minister of trade and commerce, have not yet begun, according to a statement by Premier Lloyd George in the House of Commons. Replying to a flood of queries, the premier said Russia must guarantee that there will be no attacks on British interests in the east or at home while negotiations are proceeding, Mr. Lloyd George declared, and must guarantee to release all British prisoners, whether civil or military. Representatives of the French and Italian governments are in London. Washington.—The United States will be represented unofficially at the forthcoming conference at London between Gregory Krassin, Bolshevist minister of trade and commerce, and representatives of the supreme economic council, it was said by officials here. Officials explained that the purpose was to only keep in immediate touch with the negotiations and with the views of other nations on the question. Reports of confidence in the military situation, together with favorable progress in organizing Ukrainian forces were contained in a cablegram received by the Polish legation from the Warsaw government. Living Costs Falling Chicago.—The cost of living is now descending and railroad employés must take this fact into consideration in demanding higher wages, E. T. Whiter, representing the roads, told the railway labor board in reply to testimony previously introduced by the employés that "many of the workers now are not making enough money to support themselves" and that "common labor in the railroad crafts should receive a minimum wage of $2500 a year. Six Men Buried Alive. Pittsburg.—At least six men were killed by an explosion in the coal shaft of the Ontario Gas Coal Company, near Cokesburg, Pa. The men were buried under tons of earth, and the foreman said he would not be able to tell the exact number of dead until the bodies had been recovered. Soon after the miners went down the shaft there was an explosion which dislodged great masses of earth and buried every man in the shaft. Millions in Fake Stocks. Omaha, Neb.—Warrants for the arrest of seven men, charged with selling stock without a license, were sworn out here at the instance of Attorney General Clarence Davis, Assistant Attorney General A.

I would have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronising a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality." The farmer looked at the store about a moment and then said: "Why don't you patronize your home paper and advertise? I read it and didn't know that you had the stuff I have here." MORAL—ADVERTISE THE KITCHEN A Farm Kitchen With Conveniences Like This Is One of the Urgent Needs on Many Farms, Investigations Show. Walking 457 miles a year to get water for her family's use is the record of one New Mexico woman, as revealed by a survey of farm home conditions made not long ago by the United States department of agriculture and the state extension service. In addition to carrying 32 tons of water, which is a minimum for a family of six to use in a year, she did all the housework and helped with the field work and care of the live stock. Here is the story she tells: "We live on a farm of 800 acres located one and a quarter miles from a small town. We have no automobile, but use horses and wagons as a means of transportation to town or elsewhere. We live in a six-room house which is lighted by lamps and heated by stoves, I have no labor-saving devices, except a built-in kitchen cabinet or cupboard, a sewing machine and a washing machine run by hand power. "There are six members in the family, including two children between ten and sixteen and two under ten years of age. During harvest, silo filling, or thrashing we have eight extra helpers. I have no help in the house except that of three children in carrying wood and coal and running errands. During the first six months of 1919 five members of the family were ill in bed a total of twenty-three days. Why Farmers' Wives Grow Old Early. "I do the washing and ironing for the entire family, make my own outer garments and part of the children's clothing, and bake all my own bread. The water for household purposes must be carried a distance of 400 feet, and this is one of my daily tasks as well as the care of 50 chickens. The eggs from this flock are marketed at the nearest store and the money is used for general housekeeping purposes. "I help with the milking of 32 cows and wash the milk palis and separator. The cream is sold and used for general housekeeping expenses. During eight months in the year I help with the farm work, care for the vegetable garden and help care for the live stock. "In the summer I rise at five o'clock and my working day ends at 9:30 p.m. with no time free. In winter the day begins at 6 a.m. and lasts until 8 p.m. with no time off. I work on an average of fifteen and a half hours a day, three hundred and sixty-five days in the year, with not even my noon hour free." Survey blanks were filled out by 244 New Mexico farm women, and about one-half of them reported water brought by hand from a distance of 300 to 400 feet. The average was 47 feet. In over 60 per cent of the cases the housewives did the carrying. One gallon of water with a bucket weighs at least 8½ pounds. One woman who lived on a farm and carried water for a family of five, which statistics show to be the size of the average American family, reports that it takes six pails of water for the ordinary day, and she has counted many times the 16 pails required for the family washing. Six pails of water 365 days in the year make 2,190 pails: 16 pails for the washing, 52 weeks in the year, make 832 pails, or a total of 3,022 pails of water for a family of five in a year. Taking this as the usual amount of water used, and the 47 feet as the average distance carried, the distance traveled in one year is 53 miles. Woman Carries Water 457 Miles. Besides traveling this distance she must bear the weight of the water. Ordinary pails contain from $2\frac{1}{2}$ to 3 gallons; 3,022 pails of $2\frac{1}{2}$ gallons will equal 7,555 gallons. Using $8\frac{1}{2}$ pounds which is a low estimate, as the weight of one gallon of water and the container, Mrs. Average Farmer in New Mexico carries in one year 64,217 pounds or 32.1 tons. This is not all, for the water she carries into the house must all be carried out again. So she lifts another 32.1 tons in carrying it out, which makes 64 tons carried in a year. But That's Only One Item. The woman who bears children and cares for them, their father and the hired man, cooks for them, does the washing, froning and family sewing, does the housecleaning, cares for the chickens, weeds the garden, travels miles about an inconvenient kitchen doting her housework, walks 58 miles and carries 64 tons of water during the year, is not getting a fair show, the United States department of agriculture believes. Small wonder it is, under these conditions, that as soon as possible the farm woman wants to move into town, where she can have more conveniences and where she thinks life is more pleasant and less strenuous. The home demonstration agents are teaching farm women the value of simple and inexpensive equipment which eliminates inconvenience and drudgery. In many instances it is lack of thought on the subject rather than lack of money that compels the farm housewife to do work under such handicaps. If the exodus from the farm to the city is to be stopped, the farmer's wife must be given a chance at health and happiness on the farm; otherwise she will use her influence toward moving to town. MUCH WASTEFULNESS IN AWKWARD HABIT MUCH WASTEFULNESS IN AWKWARD HABIT Considerable Energy Saved in Doing Things Right Way. One of Several Facts Disclosed by Experiments Made by Office of Home Economics, Low Kitchen From buttoning shoes to washing dishes, there is an easy and awkward way of doing all work, as everyone well knows. Now, along comes the scientist, who says his experiments show that, aside from feeling and looking more comfortable when you do your work in the right way, you also save considerable energy. This fact is one of several which recent experiments made by the office of home economics of the United States department of agriculture have disclosed. These experiments have been made for the purpose of determining the energy requirements of an individual in the various circumstances of his daily life and for use in estimating the amounts and kinds of food required by him to meet the needs of his body-for energy. It was found in the homely everyday task of dish washing that, when a woman washed dishes on a table so low that she was obliged to bend over, her energy output was 30 calories per hour. When she washed them on a table that was a little too high for comfort, it required 25 calories per hour, while only 21 calories were used when the working surface was of the right height. It doesn't take long to saw off the legs of a table or to put blocks under it which will make it the right height. Household Questions Beefsteak and oysters make a good shepherd's ple.

The KITCHEN CABINET Few things are harder to put up with than the annoyance of a good example. - Mar. Twain. F'/E.R.Y.DAY FOOD. A can of salmon on the emergency shelf is a most convenient form of food. It may be served in a variety of ways. CIGARETTE BOX Salmon Souffles. -Remove the skin and bones from canned salmon; separate into flakes and season with one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of lemon juice and pepper and paprika to taste. Cook one-half cupful of bread crumbs with one-half cupful of milk five minutes. And the salmon, the yolks of three eggs baten thick and the whites beaten stiff; these are folded in lightly at the last. Turn into a buttered baking dish and set into a pan of hot water to serve with: Spanish Sauce.—Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour; stir until well blended, then pour on gradually, stirring constantly, one cupful of milk and one-half cupful cream. Bring to the boiling point. Add one-half cupful of pimento purée, one teaspoonful of salt and a few dashes of cayenne. To prepare the purée, put a can of pimentos through a sieve, after draining them. Faked Rhubarb.—Wash and soak eight prunes; when soft, remove the stones and cut in pieces. Cut up two cupfuls of rhubarb without removing the peeling, add one cupful of boiling water to the rhubarb and prunes and bake in a moderate oven until nearly cooked, then add two-thirds of a cupful of sugar. Meat and Potato Pie.—Take one cupful of cold chopped meat, t o tablespoonfuls of minced onion, one-half cupful of eanned tomatoes, two cupfuls of mashed potatoes, with salt and pepper to season. Put a layer of meat in the bottom of the baking dish, add a little onion and seasonings, and half the tomato; repeat and cover with the mashed potato. Cover, and bake in a hot oven. Hot String Bean Salad.—Take cooked string beans and a tablespoonful or two of shredded onion. Pour over them a little hot bacon fat and a few slices of bacon cut in cubes and rooked brown. Add salt and pepper and enoug' boiling 'egar to give the proper zest. What a young man earns during the day goes into his pocket; but what he spends in the evening goes into his character. Dr. T. L. Cuyler. GOOD THINGS TO EAT. A salad is always enjoyed and any new combination welcomed. Cheese Salad — Take half a pound of rich American cheese, one cream cheese, one tablespoonful of cream, two green peppers and one Southern Cheese Salad. Take half a pound of rich American cheese one cream cheese one tablespoonful of cream, two green peppers and one Southern onion chopped fine. Rub the cream cheese, cream and grated or minced American cheese to a smooth paste. Add the finely chopped onion, a stalk of celery and the peppers all finely minced. Season with paprika, add salt and cayenne and mold into a loaf. Place on ice to harden. Serve with hot toasted crackers. Lobster With Rice.—Cut the white meat of one chicken and one lobster into dice. Put two tablespoonfuls of sweet fat into a shallow frying pan, add one sweet green pepper and one sweet red pepper chopped fine; stir until they are soft. Add the lobster and chicken, one teaspoonful of salt; heat slowly, while a cupful of seasoned tomato sauce is prepared. Put two cupfuls of hot seasoned rice in the center of a platter, put the meat mixture over the top and pour over the tomato sauce and send to the table. Cadillac Codfish.—Pick over salt codfish and separate into small pieces. Measure two-thirds of a cupful. Cover with lukewarm water, cook until soft and drain. Cut four medium-sized cooked potatoes into slices, arrange a layer of potatoes and a layer of fish sprinkle with salt and pepper; repeat. Pour over one and one-half cupfuls of tomato sauce, sprinkle with buttered crumbs and brown in a moderate over. Venetian Sauce.—Melt one-fourth of a cupful of butter, add four tablespoonfuls of flour and stir until well blended; then pour on gradually while stirring constantly two cupfuls of boiling water. Bring to the boiling point and add the juice of half a lemon, one-fourth of a cupful of capers, one tablespoonful of finely chopped parsley and two tablespoonfuls of finely chopped pickles. Again bring to the boiling point, season with salt and add two tablespoonfuls of butter bit by bit. Dutch Peppernuts—Mix a pound and a quarter of brown sugar, two tablespoonfuls of cinnamon, one tablespoonful of cloves and one teaspoonful of baking powder. Into this stir three eggs, and add as much flour as it is possible to work in, for this dough must be very stiff. Roll moderately thin, and cut in circles the size of a quarter, bake in a very slow oven. These little cakes will puff up, and are delicious. They will keep for months. Glisse Sauce—Cook two dozen large cakes in hot water for 30 min- uties, pare and chop. Into a saucepan put four tablespoonfuls of finely minced onion, and cook brown. Add four tablespoonfuls of flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper; stir together to a paste and add one and one-half cupfuls of brown stock. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils, then stir into it the chopped olives, and serve. This is a sauce especially nice for fish, game or cold meat. The creation of a joyous, harmonious, altruistic home is a work sacred enough to win an angel from her harp or a monarch from his throne—E. B. Herbert. The every day problem of preparing nourishing food in the right quan tity, with little waste and a reasonable expereience, in the work of twenty million housewives in the United States. In cities where the community waste and a reasonable expeniture, in the work of twenty million housewives in the United States. In cities where the community kitchen has been established, where families may purchase a cooked meal, much of the labor, fuel and good health of the women may be conserved. Where the servant problem was difficult in days past it is now unsolvable, for we are coming to the place where "there ain't no such animal;" they are not to be bad at any price. The labor saving in this plan is worth considering. If 40 homes in any community bought meals, even the saving of dish-washing (as the dishes in some places are sent and returned to be washed) would give the housemother many hours a day to attend to other household duties, saving her strength, good looks and temper. Instead of using the telephone to order the day's supply of foods or marketing from place to place, in towns where co-operative or community kitchens are established, she simply orders the meal prepared for that day, and it is delivered in piping-hot receptacles, with dishes for serving if so desired. In a few minutes the meal is on the table, and afterward there are no cooking dishes to be washed. A motor appears and gathers the food containers; these will be washed in steam vats, hundreds of them at once. The economy of this enterprise will appeal to most householders, as it does away with the cost of the fuel burned in the forty or a hundred homes preparing that meal. Food bought in such quantities can be purchased much cheaper as everyone knows. These community kitchens have proved successful in several cities, and are growing in popularity. The cost of the plant, to begin with, the salary of the manager and helpers, has all been met with a fair profit in most cases, and so far this seems to be the only ray of light for the servantless home. "If thou art worn and hard beset With sorrows thou wouldst fain forget; If thou wouldst read a lesson that will keep Thy heart from fainting and thy soul from sleep. Go to the woods and hills no tears Dim the sweet look that nature wears." WHAT TO EAT. Bread made with buttermilk is fine of texture, tender and especially good. Take one and one-fourth pints of sweet fresh buttermilk, add one tablespoonful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half of a compressed yeast take one four-fourth pints of sweet fresh buttermilk, add one tablespoonful of sugar, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half of a compressed yeast cake and flour to make a stiff batter. Scald half a pint of sifted flour with the buttermilk, then add the salt and sugar. Dissolve the yeast in a little tepid water. When it is a little more than lukewarm add it to the batter. Beat thoroughly and set to rise over night in a warm place. In the morning it should be very light and covered with air bubbles, which break when the cover is removed. When mixing the batter take three quartz of flour, a tablespoonful of lard and one-half teaspoonful of soda, and more salt if needed. Add to the sponge and water to make a smooth stiff dough. Knead fifteen minutes and set to rise in a warm place. Cover closely to exclude the air. When the dough light mold into loaves. Set to rise again and when light bake as carefully as if it were cake. Sally Lunna.—Take four cupfuls of flour, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of butter, one quarter of a tablespoonful of salt, one yeast cake, two eggs, half a cupful of milk and water. Crumble the yeast cake into a cup, put with it one teaspoonful each of sugar and flour; add half a cupful of lukewarm water and stand in a warm place for fifteen minutes. Sift into a bowl the flour, salt and sugar; rub in the butter. Pour the yeast into the center of the flour, add the eggs well beaten, milk and enough lukewarm water to make a very soft dough. Mix and bend well with a wooden spoon; set in a warm place to rise for one hour. Grease three round cake tins and place the mixture in these. Let stand in warm place till risen to the top of the tins. Brush over with beaten egg. Bake in a hot oven for ten minutes. They should be lightly browned all over. Stand a minute before turning out. They may be buttered and eaten fresh but are usually split in three and toasted when a day old. Nellie Maxwell TheCammelUndertakingCo. Our motto: Service, Efficiency and Modern Conditions throughout.

They are shown in everything, from capes to negliges. In the soft, their materials, the thin, supple silks and satins, they are at their very best, and in the heavier fabrics, used for suits or skirts or capes, designers have managed them cleverly. In stripes and plaids, plaits change the lines and predominating colors so that manufacturers of separate skirts appear to be fascinated by them; they give so much opportunity for the exercise of ingenuity. It seems like painting the lily and adorning the rose a change or add anything to some of the beautiful plaids and stripes that appear in silk and wool materials—but it is done, and we have to concede that something of interest is added to the garment made in this way. One of the skirts pictured here fea- New Departu ALL at once and with one accord, the creators of smocks and blouses seemed to have seized upon tricolette as a promising material for their purposes. Whoever started it uncovered an idea that has flourished from the beginning and has led into several by-paths in apparel. Besides smocks, close-fitting jackets, or bodices, often sleeveless and extended at the front into girdles or sash ends, have made their entry for summer wear, in gay and beautiful colors. Tricolette and other weaves in the same silk fiber, make many of these; they will be rivals of the silk sweater later on and belong among the glorified sports clothes that are intrenched for a long stay and crowding tailored modes for street wear. Tricolette in one of the most popular smocks is shown here, with a finish of silk fringe at the bottom and embellishment embroidered of flower sprays about the neck and down the front opening. Gray is a favorite color for smocks of this kind and gay colors appear in the flowers, but the smocks are made in many colors. A plain girdle, made of the material, or a silk cord and tassel, matching the smock in color, furnish the best management of the waistline. The neck and short front opening are bound with plain satin and small round buttons, covered with it, add a last touch to a delightful piece of work. A handsome georgette smock, with all-over pattern in silk embroidery, is used for the dressier model shown in the picture. It is one of many in which georgette, in a dark color, serves as a background for rich embroidered effects and these pretty garments are much favor for formal afternoon and tures stripes running horizontally and the material laid in moderately wide side plaits. Odd and fanciful pockets, without plaitings are set on at each side. They are something like saddle-bag pockets, with rounded flaps, and they hang as if separate from the skirt. Four balls covered with the material make an unusual finish across the bottom of them. The girdle is ingenious, too. Its ends are split at the front, forming two straps, the top straps fastening with a large button while the lower ones cross and are finished at the ends with balls. Accordion plaiting has been chosen by the designer of the plaid silk skirt and he has shown his independence of any other material in this model. It sets close to the figure and this, with its girdle of silk with flat hanging ends at the front, somehow suggests an Egyptian inspiration. The sash ends are folded over the belt and gathered into silk ornaments at the bottom. re in Smocks dinner dress. Two colors in georgette are sometimes combined in them, vivid shades of green proving particularly effective with the quater colors. It appears in smocks for evening wear, along with turquoise and lighter colors, adorned with beads or with the richest and most colorful embroideries. Julia Bottomly Nothing looks worse than shabby gloves, and as they are expensive articles in dress, they require a little management. A good glove will, with care, outlast three cheap ones. Do not wear your best gloves at night. The heat of the gas, etc., gives a moisture to the hands that spoils the gloves; do not wear them in very wet weather, as carrying umbrellas and drops of rain spoil them. Trimming for Child's Frock. Unique trimming for children's frocks is made from striped material. The stripes are connected or divided by a chain stitch of red worsted. A band of this trimming can be used round the sleeves and down each side of the frock, at back and front. Unique Millinery Novelty.
