LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY WHAT COLORED CLUB WOMEN HAVE DONE MANY LEADING CHARACTERS WHOSE SUCCESS HAS MADE THEM FAMOUS. VOL. XXVI. WHAT COLOR WOMEN MANY LEADING CHARACTERS THEM F TWENTY-FIVE years ago Colored women failed to exercise any force in world affairs, owing to their lack of organization. Save in the church there were few clubs other than the fraternal organization that embraced the women of the race. Individually Colored women have always exercised great influence. During the abolition period Sojourner Truth walked side by side with Frederic Douglas in the struggle to crush slavery in America. During the Reconstruction, Frances Harper led in the work of uplifting the freedman. During the nineties and the early part of the twentieth century Ida B. Wells Barnett led her memorable crusade against the lynching evil, and at the dawn of the present generation Mary Church Terrell became a recognized authority on racial questions. The club movement had its nucleus in the East. The East is the greatest advocate of the melting pot, and when it failed to amalgamate the Colored women's clubs with the white women's clubs, the Northwestern Federation and the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs were born. Foremost in the councils of the early organization were Mrs. Margaret Murray Washington, wife of Booker T. Washington, and Mary Church Terrell. At the Chicago convention Mrs. Blanche K. Bruce, widow of the Col-ordered senator, lomed into national prominence. Josephine Silone Yates, a Kansas school teacher, led the organization during the period that Josephine Ruffin, a Massachusetts woman, attempted to force the entrance of the New Era Club into the ranks of the white association. Mrs. Ruffin failed, but the National Association of Colored Women loomed up stronger than ever and its effects on the national development of the Negro became evident. The most loved woman that has ever led the forces of the National Association was Miss Elizabeth Carter, a New Bedford school teacher and social worker. As president of the organization she increased the membership until it became the greatest group of Colored people (other than fraternal and religious organizations) in the world. Following Miss Carter came Mrs. Washington. Her administration was marked by the spectacular tour of Mary Talbert, a Brooklyn woman who visited the Colored women everywhere, impressing upon them the importance of organization and the message of her association. Mrs. Talbert is the present executive of the organization. Her first and greatest achievement was saving the home of the lamented Frederic Douglass. It was a tremendous task, but she went about it with all the vim and courage that has made her a force in the life of the nation and the race. I remember that Richard Greener wrote this comment on Mrs. Talbert's movement: "Women! Colored women; Save the Douglass home! For humanity's sake save the Douglass home!" The world heard Mrs. Talbert and the women saved the home of the great leader. I do not know who will succeed Mrs. Talbert. It is not in my province to predict. All I know is that everywhere throughout the nation there is evidence of the great good our women are doing. Homes for the aged and self-supporting women and orphanages, housestess houses, Y. W. C. A.'s and other evidences of social welfare are to be marked as the outgrowth of the women's movement. The advancement of the race is not left to men alone. Politically, economically, religiously and socially the Colorder woman is doing a lion's share. I have seen Colored women, single handed, and with very little money, almost defeat a political organization backed by the slush barrels of corrupt politicians and saloon-keepers. I have seen Colored women purchase and maintain a home for their sex without aid from the other race or even from the men in African descent. I have seen Colored women build and maintain schools in the heart of the Southland, that the youth of our race might have a chance in the world. Colored women, daughters of that Ethiopia that is stretching forth her hands to weigh the nation in the balance, we still need you. Reconstruction is at hand, and whomsoever you choose to lead you will have a mighty task, but a great opportunity for a permanent niche in the Hall of Fame.—Favorite Weekly Magazine. WEALTHY FARMER GIVES HIS CHILDREN $1,000 EACH WEALTHY FARMER GIVES HIS CHILDREN $1,000 EACH Mr. George W. Jones Distributes Wealth Among His Children. Mr. George W. Jones, for over 30 years a successful farmer and stock grower in Jefferson county, near Oskaloosa, but who since his retirement several years ago has been residing in Topeka, cut a big melon a few days ago and passed each of his children a handsome chunk of the heart. Mr. Jones is one of the few men of the race who, in his day, that were able to see that the future of the race was in the soil. Coming to Kansas when land was cheap, he settled on a farm in Jefferson county, where he acquired over 200 acres of fine land and there reared a large family and today they are leading men and women in their respective communities, and a credit to the state. Mr. Jones is justly proud of them. The farm, was purchased by Messrs. George and Grant Jones, who besides farming are also engaged in buying and selling mules. Like their illustrious father, they have grown wealthy. Mr. Jones is the first man of the race in Kansas to thus endow his children. The following received $1,000 each: M. J. Jones, Wichita, Kansas.

AN ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING AN ENTHUSIASTIC RATIFICATION MEETING AT AUDITORIUM LAST SATURDAY EVENING UNDER AUSPICES OF HARDING-COOLIDGE CLUB. THE Harding-Coolidge ratification meeting at the Denver Auditorium Saturday evening not only brought out a remarkably large crowd for a political gathering so early in the season, but an enthusiasm was shown that indicates the feelings of the people. As the opening gun of the 1920 campaign its echo will resound in every section of Colorado, and re-echo beyond the borders of the state. Senator Sherman of Illinois, was given an ovation when introduced by Senator Phipps of Colorado. He gave considerable attention to the League of Nations, the one plank that disrupted the Democratic convention and which required much time on the part of the committee that a declaration might be written that would prove satisfactory to all in the party, and a declaration which, in the end, was not at all in accord with the desires of President Wilson. He was loudly cheered when he said the San Francisco Platform and the presidential nominee must be indorsed or condemned, and that the Democrats could not hope to separate the issues as between endorsement of the policies and terms of Woodrow Wilson on the one hand, and the presidential ticket which, on its surface, was anything but an administration lineup. He called attention to the fact that the Republican platform was frank and above board on the railroad question, and that it was not in harmony with the national move, more or less approved by the Democrats, to turn the transportation system over to the government to be operated by an employés - government - Russian - soviet plan. The meeting will have great effect throughout the state as many from different sections attended and they will carry home with them the message of prosperity and pure construction brought to Colorado by Senator Sherman. That there is a market lack of harmony in Democratic ranks in Colorado becomes more pronounced from day to day. As yet no man of gubernatorial timber has been presented and the old-time Democrats are wondering whether their organization is to be taken over body and soul by outsiders who have selected a ticket, many of those so selected not Democrats, which this outside organization insist must be accepted by the Democratic party. This "cookoo" method of stealing others' nests is not approved by old-time Democrats and they are frank and open in their expressions of disapproval. While they fully understand this ticket presented them is more for trading purposes than anything else, they say that even to recognize, in any way, this outside organization and trade with them would result in a platform which no old-time Democrat could stand, and the adoption as Democratic principles of things which are obnoxious to every Democrat and out of harmony with American ideals. The result of the Assembly at Pueblo the last of this month will be watched with a great deal of interest by all concerned. Probably never in the history of the Republican party in Colorado have all those who believe in the principles of that party been so thoroughly in harmony. There is no deflection from Republican ranks this year. What differences may have cropped out in the past have been forgotten, because all recognize the necessity of returning this nation to the rule of the people, rather than to the dictates of one man, governed in his demands by certain classes. The problems of the war are big. They must be met. History has demonstrated the Republican party is the party to meet them squarely and correctly. Thousands of old-time Democrats in Colorado are even going so far as to say they see no hopes of this country getting back to sanity and where men want to work, will work and work their best, under a Democratic administration that gives more time to catering to clamor than to ascertaining the real desires of the people. George Creel, he of Wilson fame, he with the lavish expenditure of public money, he with the muck-raking disposition, he with a friendly feeling for Soviet Russia, in an interview in Denver said he wrote most of the Democratic platform. Well, it sounds like Creel whether he is responsible or not. Wilson's victory at San Francisco Wilson's victory at San Francisco was of the negative character. BONUS TO COLORED SOLDIERS (By James H. Moody.) Speaking about giving the soldiers who fought in the war against Germany a bonus, there seems to be a sudden halt made by the United States Chamber of Commerce, and serious agitation appears among them on the question of giving the soldiers the bonus, on account as it seems, they fear that the Negro soldiers coming into possession of five or six hundred dollars all in a lump sum, would cause them to immediately quit work until the money was spent. Taking into consideration the small pay received by these soldiers in exposing their lives and health for the good of this country, this objection just at this time seems a little far fetched. For the sake of argument, suppose all the soldiers, both black and white, who received this measly bonus would all quit work, go on a high lonesome to spend it—how long would they be away from their work to spend this money at the present high cost of living? The way commodities are selling now, I imagine that they would spend their bonus so quickly that the boss would hardly miss them off the job. So that the bonus should not be withheld on that account. The United States Chamber of Commerce says that "half a million Negroes in the South would probably receive five or six hundred dollars each, would immediately quit work until the money was spent." In justice to the Colored young men of the South who faced German bullets and other privations that this country might be saved, it can be truthfully said that no set of young men are more thrifty and industrious, and have acquired the saving habit more than the young Negro of the Southland. It is therefore in very poor grace to undertake to deny the bonus on such flimsy excuse — The Favorite Magazine. DEAD SOLDIER IS CITED FOR HEROISM. Washington, D. C., July 8.—Russell Lewis, a young colored soldier who died here last summer a victim of tuberculosis, has just been cited by the War Department for exceptional bravery in action. GROWING ORANGES AND GOOD WILL. Florida papers report the sale in DeLand of a 40-acre orange grove for $18,000, the seller retaining the year's crop, which is valued at $6,000. The grove was bought by white men from its colored owner of whom the DeLand paper says: "James Wright is a Negro, and this grove is only one of several he owns. Jim is probably worth from $80,000 to $100,000, all of which he has made during the past twenty years around DeLand by hard work and by attending to his own business. He is a live wire. His name can always be found among the large donors to any fund for the public good. The News wishes that DeLand had a hundred Negroes like Jim Wright, who makes two blades of grass grow where none grew before." —Southern Publicity Committee. THE SOUTH AND NEGRO SCHOOLS. The last legislature of South Carolina appropriated $72,000 to the State Colored Agricultural and Mechanical College at Orangeburg. This is but one of the many signs of a quickening appreciation of the value of better education for Negroes. The Louisiana legislature has appropriated $25,000 for a new building at the state normal school for colored students to meet $25,00 offered by the General Education Board, and the State Superintendent of Education of North Carolina announces as the aim of his department a high school for colored boys and girls in every county of the state. LOST DEED FOUND; MAKES WOMAN RICH. Flushing. N. Y., July 9.—Mrs. Mary A. Barney, 3 Taggar avenue, has just become wealthy by obtaining possession of valuable property through the discovery of a misplaced deed, dated Nov. 21, 1848. The deed conveyed the property to Mrs. Barney's grandfather, Daniel Bayman, but because of the disappearance of the papers and the failure to record the deed at the time the ownership could not be legally established. The deed gives Mrs. Barney full possession of 16 acres of property at Oyster Bay overlooking the Sound. The valuation of the property is said to be about $50,000. CHANGE YOUR REGISTRATION NOW.

His name is Rev. J. E. Allen. The greatest spiritual awakening during a generation is now on in this city. The revival meeting conducted by Rev. Allen at the Second Baptist Church is a grand success. Many a sinner has repented of his sins and many "backsliders" have returned to the fold. Rev. Allen of Sacramento is an able and eloquent speaker and has been a wonderful assistance to the cause of Christ. The good citizens of Cheyenne started their big feasts last week and entertained Rev. and Mrs. Allen in most sumptuous manner, but the reverend gentleman called a halt to feasts and this week is a week of fasting and prayer. Mr. and Mrs. Otis West entertained at luncheon Friday afternoon, July 9th, in honor of Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Allen of Sacramento, Cal. An elegant menu was prepared by the hostess. The table was decorated with pink and white peonias. The guests included Rev. and Mrs. C. O. Smith, Mrs. M. Crawley, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McCombs and Mrs. A. Dickerson. Mrs. Anna Dickerson entertained at breakfast Wednesday morning, July 7th, Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Allen and Rev. and Mrs. C. O. Smith. Everyone enjoyed themselves immensely. On Wednesday afternoon, July 7th, Mr. and Mrs. Frank McCombs entertained at dinner Rev. J. E. Allen and Mrs. Allen of Sacramento, Cal.; Rev. and Mrs. C. O. Smith, Mrs. Anna Dickerson and Mrs. Otis West of Cheyenne. The color scheme of pink and white was carried out to a T. A profusion of beautiful carnations decorated the table. The four course dinner consisted of all the delicacies of the season from fried chicken to strawberries and ice cream. Rev. C. O. Smith entertained at dinner Thursday, July 8th, in honor of Rev. and Mrs. J. E. Allen. Mrs. J. M.

The women, about 22 years old, are being held by the federal authorities on a charge of violating the Mann act in eloping from their Texas home to California with C. H. Kledger of Oklahoma and L. C. Everett of Abilene, Tex., following their arrest with Kledger at Bakersfield. Everett escaped and was said to have enlisted in the United States army with an infantry detachment ordered for service in China. The quartet was indicted at Abilene on the complaint of A. L. Roberts, husband of Mrs. Roberts. However, it was no repentant, weeping pair of women that answered questions regarding the double elopement. Instead, both women refused to believe their plight was serious, laughed when asked if they feared being punished for their offense against the laws of the federal government, and only became fearful when they admitted it was possible that they might RED OAK, IA.—Has Tarzan of the Apes had another relapse? Anyway, there's a naked wild man in the woods in the northern end of Montgomery county who takes to the trees when pursued and swings from branch to branch a la Tarzan. For a month reports of a wild man, entirely nude, roaming over the northern end of the county with Seeley's mill as a center, have been coming into Red Oak. He was seen by a dozen different people. He was reported as about 30 years old, with a long, matted beard and hair and with muscles like an orang outang. The wild man has returned to the primeval and is roaming the woods like an animal. His body has been colored a deep tan by exposure to sun and weather, and from appearances he WAUKEGAN, ILL. -Six years ago began Lake county's celebrated mule case. James F. Doyle of Deerfield originally owned the mule. That much is sure. John R. Morris, likewise of Deerfield, is the other party to the suit. That's sure too. It's also certain that there has been at least one trial in a justice court and three hearings on appeal in the circuit court. But that's about as far as even a Philadelphia lawyer could be expected to get the hang of this famous case. However, when it came up before Judge C. C. Edwards of Waukegan the other day, it seemed to be reasonably clear that Morris had possession of the mule. Doyle, to all appearances, wanted Morris to pay him $750 for the use of the mule—$10 a month for 75 months. On the other hand, it appeared to be plain that Morris wanted the sum of $150 from Doyle. According to his This rival contribution from the other Dillon. "Long hair, flowing tie, Frayed cuffs, soulful eye" This from Brady, not to be outdone.

"I had my hands up before he got to 'look.' So he just dipped into the cash register with his free hand and picked out $54.

Again Mrs. Connors echoed her companion's sentiments with a fervent, "Isn't it the truth?" Only once did she express an opinion and this was when she declared she was "content to live the rest of her life amid the bright lights of California cities, at any cost. But to return to Texas?

At times he retains the power of speech, as he called to three boys one day. At other times he grimaces and makes signs and jabbers, but speaks no words. For his haunts he has chosen a heavily wooded island created by a fork in the Nishnahobotra river near the site of Seeley's old mill. The mill was the pioneer water mill of southern Iowa and has long since fallen to decay. The mill dam is broken and the whole thing is now but a pile of rocky ruins. The whole country side turns out Sundays to hunt the ape-man. Last time the hunt was on 1,000 people, headed by Sheriff Ed Peterson, spent the entire day searching the bottoms along the Nishnahotoba river. Automobile parties from Stanton, Elliott, Red Oak, Griswood, Coburg, Villisca and the surrounding towns were on the scene. Farmers from practically every township in the county took part in the hunt. More than 250 automobiles were parked in the district and during the search fifty automobiles patrolled the roads. Many members of the posses brought their families and made a picnic day of it. figuring it had cost him $12 a month to board the mule. Board for 75 months at this rate is evidently an offset to $750 and $150 over. Judge Edwards evidently had mastered the intricacies of this celebrated case. Anyway, he ordered Morris to return the mule, pay Doyle $750 and pay the costs of the four hearings mentioned. But the six years of suspense had been too much for the mule The American Legion Copy for This Department Supplied by National Headquarters of the American Legion. Copy for This Department Supplied by National Headquarters of the SAYS READOPT WAR ORPHANS Editor Harold Ross of American Legion Weekly Urges Care by Posts of Unfortunates. Harold W. Ross, formerly managing editor of the Stars and Stripes, which was the official publication of the American expeditionary forces in France during the war, has been appointed editor of the American Legion Weekly, official magazine of the American Legion. Mr. Ross, a native of Colorado, entered the newspaper field more than ten years ago and worked on various papers in Salt Lake City, San Francisco, New Orleans, Atlanta, New York and Panama, but chiefly in San Francisco and the West. He enlisted as a private in April, 1917, and sailed for France August 1. He was sent to the 1910 Harold W. Ross. First officers' training camp at Langres, France, but was detached before receiving a commission and assigned to duty on the Stars and Stripes when that publication was started in February, 1918, and remained with it, most of the time as managing editor, until its career came to an end with the home-coming of the A. E. F. He received a citation from General Perling and recently received a medal from the French government for originating the plan which led to the adoption of the 3,567 war orphans by American soldiers overseas. As editor of the Weekly Mr. Ross is now conducting an active campaign for the readoption of these same orphans by the more than 9,000 American Legion posts throughout the United States and in many foreign countries. HE ADOPTS FRENCH ORPHAN Le Roy Tucker, Former Captain, Aids Legion's Campaign in Memory of His Father. Another contribution of $75 for the adoption of a French war orphan, in the Legion's campaign to aid 3,000 late proteges of the A. E. F., making a total of four to date, was received at Legion national headquarters during the week ending May 29. The adopter is Le Roy Tucker, formerly captain, Twenty-fifth Engineer Service company, Twentieth Engineers, now living at 1501 West Sixth street, Topeka, Kan. "In memory of my father, James Walter Tucker of the One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Indiana infantry of the Civil war," the captain writes, "I want to adopt a French orphan on this Memorial day. "As I spent most of my time in France in the Vosges mountains, doing forestry duty, I would like a little girl from the department of the Vosges, if possible. And if you have any way of knowing, select a little girl with brown eyes and hair. "P. S.—If the young lady will write in French, I will improve my knowledge of French a bit, and if she cares to receive letters in English, I will be glad to write." Mr. Tucker's request was forwarded, with his contribution, to the American Red Cross. National headquarters of the American Legion has adopted two of the orphans and another has been taken under the paternal wing of Karl Ross post, Stockton, Cal. Home for Sons of Service Men. The national adjutant has received service of the founding at Bennington, Vt., of a home for the care, maintenance, education and scientific instruction in agriculture and horticulture of the minor sons of soldiers or tailors who have served in the army or navy of the United States of America, or in the army or navy of any of its European allies; and thereafter for the like care, maintenance, education and scientific instruction of the lineal male descendants of such sons.

Appropriations of $46,000,000 for hospitalization of disabled discharged ex-service persons and $120,000,000 for vocational training for maimed heroes of the world war have been obtained from congress to date through the efforts of the American Legion, according to a report recently received at Legion national headquarters from Thomas W. Miller, chairman of the organization's national legislative committee in Washington. "The sundry civil bill," the report reads, "carried an appropriation of $90,000,000 to be expended by the federal board for vocational education, and it is the belief of this committee that the board will be able, in the near future, to render more efficient diversified service to all of our disabled comrades." The committee previously had obtained from congress a $30,000,000 appropriation, which, together with the Legion's co-operative plan for rounding up eligibles and for assisting the federal board in placing them in training, had gone far toward remedying conditions which induced the Legion to institute a congressional investigation resulting in sweeping reforms. The report is a summary of recent activities of the committee in its efforts to carry out the Legion's program of beneficial legislation as outlined at the Minneapolis convention last year. Among others, it cites the following provisions embodied in various measures recently adopted: All disabled personnel still in hospitals may continue to travel on furlough at a one-cent rate per mile. All men now in receipt of hospitalization from the United States public health service will be entitled to purchase quartermaster supplies from the government at cost. The compensation originally allowed vocational board students was $30 a month. The Legion induced congress to increase this to $80 a month, and the recent passage of the Darrow bill fixes their allowance at $100 a month during the period of training, with additional allowances for married men. LUDLOFF ASSUMES NEW TASK Resigns as Executive Secretary in Headquarters Office to Take Up Work in New York. H. E. Ludloff, who was a member of the national headquarters staff of the American Legion since May, 1919, recently resigned as executive secretary in the Indianapolis offices to take up his duties with the Equitable Life Assurance society, New York, as secretary to the second vice president, William J. Graham. When Henry D. Lindsley, first national commander of the Legion first opened the national headquarters at New York, Mr. Ludloff became manager and helped in the early organization work. He served in this capacity and also as secretary of the national executive committee until after the national convention of the A. H. E. Ludleff. Legion in Minneapolis, last year. When the headquarters were moved to Indianapolis, he continued his work with the organization as executive secretary, which position he held until his resignation a short time ago. LOOKING BACKWARD LOOKING BACKWARD By WILLIAM R. SHIELDS I love to think of days in camp, when early in the morn I faintly heard—and deeply cursed—the bugler's raucous horn; I sit at the camp, waiting days when I would blink and drill. I love to lie in bed and think, I needn't do it now. I love to think of days—and nights—when in the snow and rair I stood on guard and froze my feet and almost went insane; I love to think of slushy days when on my sturdy back I'd tote through France's sticky mud a hefty army pack; And oft at night I'd hunt a berth in some chilly mow; I love to lie in bed and think, I needn't do it now. Ah, well: 'the moving finger writes, and, living writ, moves on.' Those days (alas!) will ne'er return—they are forever gone; The time has passed when I was wont to stick the husky Hun; I'm just a drab civilian, be-I miss the old-time fun; But still I don't feel very blue: I kiss my love frau.

Army Uniforms Will Now Fit the Men Old Employees to Lose Jobs and Pensions Fuel Oil Distribution to Be Regulated WASHINGTON. — The air service people are saying the aeronautical beans have been spilled. They had thought that the bringing into this country of huge shipments of war-salvaged aircraft would stir congress to action, and on that account the British invasion would be beneficial. The house acted promptly and passed a bill originating in the ways and means committee and fathered by Representative John Q. Tilson, of Connecticut, called the "Aeroplane Anti-Dumping act." This bill was designed to protect the aircraft manufacturers of this country from a competition which really meant, and still means, a knockout. The dumping into a nervous and inordinately shy market of thousands of planes, motors and acces- THE ARMY has found the perfect man. It all came about because of the poor fitting uniforms with which Uncle Sam had to equip his army. The uniforms have been made to order on antiquated patterns, held to by the war department from time immemorial. Try as they could, army officers couldn't fit the recruits. Every now and then, by accident, a uniform would "fit like the paper on the wall," but in the majority of cases the soldier found himself wrapped in swaddling clothes instead of wearing a snug-fitting military dress. Just before the war the army took measurements of 1,000 men. From the average, the patterns were made by which uniforms were ordered. But the result was the same. The clothes wouldn't fit. But from now on they probably will. Dr. C. B. Davenport, of the Carnegie institute of Washington, and a major in the surgeon general's department of the army, has solved the problem. Measurements of 100,000 men of military age, the number being made up from every state and the District of Columbia, were taken during the war. The measurements show that while a man in Washington has an average chest measurement of from 86 to 89 centimeters, or 33.85 to 34.01 inches, his brother from the golden West pos- EMPLOYEES of the interior department who have attained the age of seventy years but have not rendered the minimum of fifteen years of service required for retirement on an annuity shall be automatically dropped, according to a decision handed down by Attorney General Palmer. While the decision was in reply to a letter from Secretary Payne of the interior department and refers specifically only to employees of that department, the answer of the attorney general in reality covers all such superannuated employees in all federal departments, both in this city and elsewhere, it is held. SOME plan for the regulation of the distribution of fuel oil may be resorted to if the present menace of a serious shortage continues. A conference of representatives of the leading refineries and users of fuel oil to work out some joint plan of distribution has been suggested by Secretary of Commerce Alexander. The suggestion has been made particularly with reference to the situation in California, in a letter to Senator Phelan of that state. Secretary Alexander opposes any embargo because of its effect upon American export trade. He takes the position that an embargo should be used only as a last resort. Latest figures show that the navy now needs 8,000,000 barrels of fuel oil a year and that the shipping board, with its new merchant fleet, will require 40,000,000 barrels for 1920 and 60,000,000 barrels for 1921. The demand for fuel oil for the ships of the navy and government-owned merchant marine alone equal the present output of American refineries for about four months. Prices of oil have rapidly advanced, contracts awarded by the shipping board and navy during recent months about double those of a year sories which cost the importers only 1 per cent of the value of the materials and which they propose to sell at any price necessary to scoop the trade and in which the sellers are to get practically one-half of the gross sales as profits is certainly no aid to the development of aircraft manufacturing in this country. That is a sure thing. The members of the house realized the pernicious effect of the sale of great quantities of aeronautical materials and equipment at salvage prices and the Tilson bill was hailed as a piece of beneficial legislation. Then, on Friday evening, the day before congress adjourned, the "Aeroplane Anti-Dumping act," as passed by the house, was introduced into the senate for action. The bill was sponsored by Senator Harry S. New, of Indiana, who has been more or less active in attempted legislation along aeronautical lines during the entire session of the Sixty-sixth congress. What happened is this: Senator New made a motion for favorable consideration of the bill and Senator Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska objected, and his objection held his gavel on the historical marble slab and declared the senate adjourned. The bill was dead. EIGHTY SEVER AND A HALF sesses a chest which measures from 94 to 97 centimeters or 36 to 38.18 inches in circumference. Washington, Alabama, Montana, Illinois, Maine and Oklahoma men have chests which measure approximately the same, as an average. Arizona is a land of giants, for the men there have larger chests than those of any other state, measuring as an average 94 to 97 centimeters. California, Colorado and Texas men show the same measurements, averaging 90 to 93 centimeters. To reduce centimeters to inches, multiply by .3937. The statistical branch of the general staff has taken the figures under consideration, and within a short time will be able to announce the complete measurements for the "perfect man" of military age in the United States—this perfect man being the one whose measurements coincide with the average. No comparatively large number of federal employees is affected by the decision, it is believed, but among those employees who will be deprived of retirement under annuity, and of their jobs at the same time, there are said to be some rather pathetic cases. Particularly will it come hard, it is declared, to automatically separate from the service next August 20 one watchman of the interior department, who is now more than eighty years old and has served in the department just fourteen years, one less than necessary. A charwoman in the pension bureau, which is handling the administration of the retirement law, is more than eighty years old, but has not served fifteen years. Attorney General Palmer in his decision takes up in detail the various clauses of the retirement law which seemed to make ambiguous the matter of retiring or not retiring certain employees and led Secretary Payne to ask whether such employees in his department who have attained the age of seventy years, but have not rendered the minimum fifteen years of service, shall be automatically dropped. ago. Data supplied the federal trade commission by oil producers recently, in response to a house resolution, support their contention that further increases of prices are inevitable. Legislative action on the oil situation will be a subject for the next congress. The report made to the house by the federal trade commission suggested the advisability of restriction upon the exportation of domestic crude oil. Another Recommendation, and one which has been made by all of those who have given the subject consideration, is that everything possible be done by the United States to encourage the development by Americans of production in foreign countries which have all resources.

It is a great time saver to have the numbers that are most frequently called written conveniently and placed where you can see them. Some persons have this on a card that is posted on the wall beside the instrument but this sometimes does not look very attractive. It is better to attach them to a card that hangs on the phone intended for this purpose. For instance on the card the busy housewife should have the numbers of the butcher, baker, grocer and other tradesmen. A man sits on a bed, holding his leg. He looks relaxed and content. Oh!

Carelessness in handling the truth has destroyed confidence and interest in each other's purpose and welfare, and left each one of us to mistrust the other. Many of the enemies we have made is the result of our having deceived them. A man prefers that we be honest with him even if we are against him and have a preference for another. There is no use in lying. It is a malicious habit and the facts are certain in due time to come to the surface and make against us in the end. in due time to come to the scene. We need every man's respect and friendship and we only have and retain it on the basis of truthfulness. When people understand that we will not lie to or for them, they are willing to converse freely, but when they are skeptical about our reliability they will withhold much that is important. Truthfulness is dual in its nature. A man that won't lie himself, first, will not lie on others; and second, will not believe or use lies told to him. Thus if a man will resolve to take the right of understanding of facts and clear the atmosphere of intrigue and dishonesty, it will do more in re-establishing confidence and rehabilitate the race with hope and courage and purpose than anything that could possibly come to us now. CRITICISM. CONSTRUCTIVE criticism that is made in good faith, that leads to more efficient work and greater accomplishment is good for mankind, but destructive criticism born of hatred and jealousy is a dangerous thing and works to the harm and detriment of the race. All honest men who strive to attain the highest in life invite and welcome criticism that tends to uplift them in their work, but the world despises a jealous, sordid, destructive, evil minded critic. To criticise is an art, an accomplishment, and requires a delicately trained mind to reach the realms of higher criticism so helpful to mankind. But, on the other hand, we have many ignorant persons who are given to buldozing and brow-beating under the foolish and mistaken idea that they are great critics. These ignorant and misguided persons are a menace to any people and a detriment to all progress. They belong to the age of the cave-man and would drive and rule with a club rather than an intelligent and powerful pen. Again we are cursed with many men who oppose everything and attempt to take a shot with their poisoned arrow at everything that appears upon the surface for good. It requires much brain and devoted labor to construct and build up anything worth while, but it takes only a few minutes for the abusive critic to walk in and with his cave club destroy the great work that took the best brains years to accomplish. took the best brains yet. Take in the last great struggle of nations, the Germans destroyed in one day in Belgium and France all the great works of art and beautiful structures that required the best thought and brains of Europe many years to accomplish. The countless ruins of Europe are but forceful examples of that sordid hatred and jealousy born of a brutish and destructive mind. As with the Germans in war, so with the unscrupulous black-hearted critic in society. His only desire is to disrupt all organizations, whether it be a church, a social, civil or political organization, simply because he was perhaps not consulted in regard to its organization, or that he is not the self-constituted boss of the church or the organization. It is regretable that society is afflicted with such characters, but so are afflicted with flys, snakes and contemptible, poisonous vermin of all kinds for some unknown purpose. These, civilized people shun, because they are dangerous. Criticism born of hatred and jealousy is a dangerous thing. It harms and draws the Critic more than it benefits the one criticised. Just, broad and constructive criticism is always helpful and even an ignorant, misguided individual finally understands and is greatly helped and benefited. WHY NOT COLORADO? WE NOTE with extreme satisfaction and pride that countless numbers of prominent, well-to-do respectable colored citizens in many of the Southern states are leaving the Southland and migrating to the North and West because of the vicious and inhuman conditions that prevail in the South. Under the present democratic administration the Negro in the South, regardless of his wealth and standing, has suffered untold barbarities and unspeakable, inhumane treatment. The proper school facilities and advantages have even been denied them, they are robbed of their reward for honest toil, and a scandalous systematic propaganda is carried on in the South against the Negro to create the impression generally that he is a rapist and a criminal as a justification in the eyes of the world for the wholesale lynchings that take place in the South almost daily. No justice in the courts, poor housing conditions for the Negro laborer, peonage, lack of protection to the Negro under the laws of the South—all these things and many more are breaking the back of the camel and he is becoming restless and dissatisfied, and hence the GREAT EXODUS. Governmental statistics report that upwards of 300,000 Negroes have left the South in the past four years and settled in the North and West. These immigrants are composed of all classes—the poor, the well-to-do, the professional man, the common laborer and the bad, along with the good. Many excellent families have left, looking and hoping for better school advantages for their children and stronger protection for themselves and their families under the laws of the states wherever they may cast their lot. Yet in the face of all this great exodus and the cry of alarm sent out by the white man of the South because of the exodus of the thousands of Negroes, they do not pretend in the least to adjust or ameliorate the intolerable conditions that exist in the South in so far as the Negro is concerned. Can you blame the Negro for moving? No, not for a moment. Any other race of people would have gone long, long ago, rather than to have lived under such intolerable conditions and unjust laws. Therefore we ask our southern brother the question, when contemplating a change of residence, WHY NOT COLORADO? To the sturdy farmer, the honest laborer and the educated professional man, we invite you to Colorado, whose sunny, health-giving and cheerful climate will renew your vigor and strength, and whose laws will throw around you and your family the same protection that is afforded to all citizens, regardless of race or color. Colorado is famous for many things. Her climate is ideal, superb; her scenery is unequalled; she is noted for her mining industry and her agricultural interests are taking first rank; stock raising is also forging to the front. Then with thousands of acres of vacant land waiting you, why not try Colorado? The present indications this year for the production of corn and wheat in Colorado show that the crops will be the greatest in the history of the state. The Colorado Crop Reporting Service estimates a crop of 24,498,000 bushels of wheat, compared with 17,645,000 last year; 15,203,000 bushels of corn, compared with 11,205,000 bushels last year. The production of potatoes for this year is estimated at 13,072,000 bushels, compared with 11,040,000 bushels last year. So we see that there is an increase each year both in crops and in the acreage. THE COLORADO STATESMAN advises and urges the settlement of honest, upright, sturdy and industrious farmers from the South into Colorado. LEWIS & SON Sixteenth and Stout Streets.

Tilford, Jr., at their beautiful home, 1840 Marion street. Mr. Gash is formerly of Galesburg. On last Friday afternoon old East Turner Hall, located between 21st and 22nd Sts., was destroyed by fire. East Turner Hall has been for years one of the greatest entertainment and convention halls in Denver. It was a large blaze and although many fire engines and apparatus were called out the fire could not be controlled. Had a strong wind been blowing at the time probably the entire block would have been lost. As it was considerable damage was done to many residences in and around the vicinity. Mrs. Mary Holmes' residence on Curtis St., was considerably damaged by the fire. PEOPLES' PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH DRIVE. A big financial drive is now in progress by the members and friends of the Peoples' Presbyterian Church for the purpose of remodeling the church in general. All friends and well-wishers are especially asked to assist them in this most worthy effort. THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION On last Tuesday evening the Denver Colored Civic Association held forth in regular monthly session at their new headquarters, No. 609 27th St. Many members were present to hear the able and eloquent addresses, delivered by Rev. J. C. Olden, of Birmingham, Ala., and Rev. J. A. Thomas Hazell of the Peoples Presbyterian church, Denver. Both gentlemen were at their best and delivered most able and eloquent talks, pungent with broad ideas and new inspiration to each and everyone present. There were many new applications presented by the chairman of the membership committee as a result of the effective drive for members now being conducted by the Western Publicity Bureau. This organization is progressing rapidly and bids fair to become the strongest and most representative nonpolitical organization among the colored citizens of Denver and the state of Colorado. Mr. Price, formerly of Texas, who has recently come to Denver to live, also made a brief and interesting talk and became a member of the association. CAMPBELL A. M. E.

THE open season on peanuts, pink lemonade, spangles and sawdust is on. John Robinson's Circus is coming to Denver on July 19-20 and according to the press agent every performer is in fine fettle, from Little Casino, the dwarf clown, to Emma Battersby, the 500-pound feature of the side show. And from Jocko, the wonderful performing ape, to Big Nemo, monarch of elephants. Clowns, artists, and the hundreds of trained wild animals, and are prepared to put on the show of their careers. Tetu Robinson, a pretty native of Japan, spelled in caps in the circus advertising, is said to make the audience gasp. Called "Queen of Aerial Gymnasts," she will live up to her name, and Irene Montgomery and Nettie Dill, occupying opposite rings at the same time, are billed as the "World's Greatest Bareback Riders," and will present many new and novel feats of horsemanship. A big surprise for the grown-ups as well as the kids is promised by the circus management, presenting, for the first time here, a new and gorgeous spectacle, entitled: "Golden Days and Olden Ways," which is said to be the greatest panoramis pageant ever attempted by this circus.

This is the time to buy anything and everything in the way of wearables for man, woman or child. The Strength of Organization THE WIRE IN THE BRIEF span of forty years scientific advancement has brought the telephone from a crude experiment to one of the most nearly perfect of all mechanical devices. Engineering has mastered countless problems involved in the distribution of service. Construction has carried the telephone into the most remote corners of the country. Operative skill has combined the efforts of executives, scientists, engineers and commercial management. Together with vision and foresight these are the powers which, united, have made possible the accomplishments of the Bell System. Nothing less than the finest loyalty, the most untiring devotion, the recognition of the great importance of their task, a fixed determination to serve faithfully; nothing less than this unified strength which has been so wonderfully displayed by the men and women engaged in the business of rendering telephone service could have carried the system through the great strain which began with the war and which has not yet passed. Seldom, if ever, has public service required so long and so severe a test of a business organization. And never has an employee body responded with more hearty, united and loyal support. And they are still carrying on. The Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Co.

Grand Junction's three banks, in their statements just issued, show total resources of more than $3,900,000. This is the largest total ever known at this time of the year in that valley. A number of new professors and instructors have just been appointed to positions in the Colorado Agricultural College at Fort Collins. Among the departments which have found it necessary to increase the size of their teaching staffs are the farm management, mathematics, horticulture, library, animal husbandry, agronomy and chemistry. J. C. Thompson was arrested by Sheriff J. F. Whittier at Sterling after the discovery of a well-appointed whisky still in Thompson's home. The still, which was of fifteen-gallon capacity, is the most complete yet found in that part of the country, according to Sheriff Whittier. Four barrels of mash and four gallons of "moonshine" were confiscated. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Two men were instantly killed and one badly injured in an explosion at the Sunnyside mine, Silverton. The dead are L. Edmunio Martinez and J. W. Virgil, I. Valdez was injured. Six shots had been put into a drift and the men, thinking all of the blasts had exploded, went into the mine. They were caught by the last explosion and literally blown to pieces. That all the lakes on Grand Mesa are full to overflowing is the report of C. Jacques, superintendent, who has just visited all of the important lakes. He makes one exception only in reporting that Deep Ward lake only has 14.7 feet of water. The snow has not all melted yet in the lake section and the supply of water for irrigation purposes is very large. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. The State Land Board held a sale in the House of Representatives chamber in the Capitol at Denver at which 387 acres of state land were disposed of at an average price of $22.60 an acre. The highest price paid was $412 for land in Jefferson county, and the total proceeds of the sale amounted to $144,380. The land sold at the sale last month was 5,840 acres. The gain this month was 547 acres. Harvey C. Neese, 50, night marshal of Cripple Creek, was shot through the lung at Cripple Creek by William Sloane, former city fireman, and died in the Sisters' hospital seven hours later. Sloan is in jail charged with the killing. The shooting took place in the middle of the main business street. Sloane, it is said, was under the influence of intoxicants and was causing a disturbance. THE COLORADO STATESMAN The body of an unidentified man, murdered, was found by a party of tourists on the Salt Creek road, just off the Santa Fe trail near Pueblo. There were indications that the man, who is believed to have been an Italian, had been assaulted within the city and the body carried by automobile to the point where it was found. The head had been beaten by a heavy instrument. The number of inquiries being received by the State Immigration Department at the present time indicate that the demand for Colorado lands by people in other states is not quite so heavy as it was last fall and winter. The general impression is that a considerable constriction in the money market has slowed down the demand for land to some extent in all parts of the country, but that a renewed demand will be evident immediately after crops begin to market. Crop conditions in Colorado are exceptionally good at this time and land men generally look for an excellent movement of farm land this fall. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. The Colorado Packing Company plant at Delta is nearly done and the plant is casting about for 500 girls to be employed there as soon as business opens up. News has reached Nucla of the death in Laurel, Mont., of Thomas Anderson, 6-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. G. J. Anderson, formerly of Nucla. The little boy was struck by a string of freight cars, run over and killed. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Jason C. Brown, 68, pioneer rancher of Turkey Creek Cañon and of late years a resident of Cañon City, was killed early today when he walked out on the porch of the Cliff House, where he was stopping, and fell off, his head striking a large boulder. He was unmarried and came to this region fifty years ago from Adell, Iowa. Golden is about to initiate an extensive paving program. It is the intention of the Golden city officials to issue bonds for the construction of asphalt or concrete paving from the end of the Denver-Golden paved road, through the city, and to the foot of Lookout mountain. Other thoroughfares in the town are to be paved also. The cost of the proposed improvements is estimated at $100,000. TWODOLLARSAYEAR N. M. Sharp and Foster White, both of Haxtun, Colo., narrowly escaped death when the airplane in which they were riding fell about 800 feet into a huge sand pile. The boys were giving an exhibition during the celebration at Haxtun and were trying a tail spin when the accident occurred. A large crowd witnessed the accident. J. F. Chase, who has accepted the position of farm management demonstrator in the extension department of the Colorado Agricultural College, has arrived in Fort Collins to take up his work. He came from Monbeck, Mont. Of twenty-four counties for which complete reports on agricultural statistics had been received by the State Immigration Department from county assessors on July 1, sixteen showed increases in the number of farms reported and eight showed decreases, total number of schedules reported for the twenty-four counties being about 400 more than for last year. The largest decrease shown was for Logan county, which reported 2,521 farms last year and only 2,295 this year. The decrease is due largely to the temporary abandonment of farms that were cropped by renters last year and are not being cropped at all this year. A considerable number of wheat growers whose winter wheat was blown out by the heavy spring winds did not replant to any other crop and have temporarily abandoned their farms. The increases reported in most counties are small, and are perhaps accounted for largely by the fact that county assessors have had better opportunities for obtaining complete reports this year than they did in 1919. Present indications are that the total number of farms reported for the state this year will be close to 5,000 greater than for last year, the reports for the counties showing the largest increases in number of farms not yet being complete. Almost famished, thirsty, feet swollen and sore from aimless wandering, Carl larson, 16-year-old son of Mr. N. A. Barto of Peach Valley, stumbled into his mother's home at Delta after having been lost in the wilds of the Gunnison River caffon above Peach Valley for three days and nights. He had been fishing and became lost when he started home and wandered for hours before getting his bearings. He had no food and no shelter. The youth suffered greatly from exposure. The bodies of 400 Colorado boys who were killed in action or who died in the military or naval service overseas will be brought to Denver and Colorado for burial within the next six months. This is the statement of O. A. Brown, member of the relief committee of Leo Leyden post of the American Legion. The legion has started a movement to raise funds with which to provide a suitable funeral for each of the Denver soldiers whose bodies are brought to Denver for burial. A petition asking the Colorado Supreme Court to reverse a decision made by Judge Charles C. Butler has been filed by Victor E. Keyes, attorney general, in the case of the State against the United Mine Workers of America, tried last November. Butler ruled that a strike of the coal miners could not be considered a violation of the industrial relations law, because the coal mining industry, as conducted in the state, is not affected by public interest. Approximately $700,000 had been collected from automobile licenses up to July 1 this year with several large counties yet to be heard from, according to figures at the secretary of state's office. During the entire year of 1919 $468,000 in licenses were issued. Floyd Fairhurst, state automobile supervisor, said that Colorado is almost out of tags and that no possibility of obtaining more immediately now exists. During the month of June 3,669,038 gallons of gasoline were consumed in the state of Colorado, according to a report issued by James Duce, state oil inspector. There is an increase of almost half a million gallons over the same period last year, according to Mr. Duce. The gasoline tax for the month, based on a collection of 1 cent per gallon, was $36,690.38, as compared with $31,985.07 during the month of June a year ago. Only a few hours after they had escaped from a convict road camp near Glenwood Springs, Jack Gustafson and Ray Dunham, convicts from the state penitentiary at Cannon City, were recaptured fifty miles to the west on the road to Grand Junction. The Fort Collins city council has adopted a report of a committee appointed to ascertain whether the rates of the Poudre Valley Gas Company should be raised. No action will be taken, however, until a decision in the case of the city against the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company, in order that no conflict with the authority of the State Utilities Commission might result. Delta people are not satisfied with the government census of the city. The 1920 report gives Delta 2,623, while it is believed the city has 4,000. Efforts will be made to have a municipal census taken soon. This is 417 less than the count made by the Chamber of Commerce two years ago and Delta has grown greatly since then. The Chamber of Commerce count gave 3,050 in 1918. Two young men, caught following the robbery of $1,550 from the Bank of Waterloo, at Waterloo, Neb., pleaded guilty in the County Court at Omaha and were held under $10,000 bond for action in District Court. After their arrest they gave the names of Oscar Yoos of Granada, Colo., and J. W. Grau of Council Bluffs, Iowa. Mrs. Joseph R. Foutch, the wife of a rancher living in the Pomona district, four miles northwest of Grand Junction, rushed into flames enveloping the Foutch home and rescued her twin baby girls just before the roof crashed down into the bed where the infants were asleep. A new and uniform system of bookkeeping for all state departments and institutions and all county offices under the direction of the state auditor will be established shortly, according to announcement made by State Auditor Stong.

SPORTS styles—not sports clothes—appear to have put everything else into eclipse for midsummer wear. A sort of festival spirit seems to have taken possession of designers, and clothes for morning, afternoon and night have a pastime flavor, as the two afternoon costumes shown here bear witness. Of course these two costumes were never intended for anything more strenuous than a promemade or tea dance or band concert, but in the great sport of wearing pretty apparel they will do their owners undisputed credit, and this is a leading pastime of fair women now, as it always has been. We should be grateful for the passion for lovely colors and beautiful materials that has enthralled the hearts of the world. Everywhere there is color to please the eye and daintiness to charm the mind. Both the costumes displayed here are very simple, and many are the women who are undertaking to make st such charming things for them- Gossip Abo HAPPENS that the blouse or smock of georgette crepe is an all-the-year-round garment, so that one may buy it at any time and anywhere, and use it until it is worn out. This is fortunate, for just now manufacturers have placed numbers of new blouses with retailers at prices that are lower than they have been for some time. From the present outlook they will not be lower, and the fall demand may see them move up again, so now would seem to be a good time to buy either the ready-made blouses or the georgette for making them. Nearly all midsummer styles reveal the sleeve of elbow length, many frills, and several styles in collars that are higher at the back and have square or "V" shaped front openings. There are always some round necks. Narrow lace, used to edge the frills, and vestests of net, tucked or trimmed, help dignify the new models, and tucks play their usual important role in them. Besides these there are some lovely slip-over kimono blouses, with yarn flowers that stand out on them in prettily colored clusters. These are done with a chain stitch, that is combined with embroidery stitches in floral motifs that look like small bouquets flattened against the blouse. Blouses of this kind usually have short peplums, and one of them appears at the right of the two illustrated here. This one adds a little bead fringe to its other allurements, and a sash of georgette, and it may be counted on as good style for fall. The other house pictured shows two selves. By eliminating the cost of labor, the price is cut in half at least, and sometimes even a greater saving is accomplished. A delicious shade of light pink, in georgette crepe, with a yoke of satin to match to the bodice and a band of satin about the skirt makes the one-piece and one-color frock at the left of the group. With it a satin scarf faced and lined with georgette is worn, a georgette girdle, and a pretty hat with slashed brim made of a soft straw. A small cluster of flowers at the left side gives chance for a bit of contrast in colors. Every one from Paris to San Francisco has a blouse made like that shown on the figure at the right, and a satin skirt to wear with many sorts of blouses. This one is a brocaded silk crepe, with kimono sleeve, and round neck. A blas fold makes the collar. You can imagine this blouse in bright green figured in white with a ribbon hat, like it in color, trimmed with white daisies and faced with white georgette. out Blouses colors in georgette combined in an unusual manner, and is further distinguished by long sleeves and peculiar cuffs. The under blouse is in a dark color, perhaps the brown which shows promise for fall, and a much lighter sleeveless overblouse, with small figures embroidered on it. Little crepe-covered buttons add to its adornment at the front and on the cuffs. Julia Bottomly That one's stockings can carry the burden of proof for the success of a chic street costume is proved by a fad which combines with a plain suit of navy tricot and a navy hat, mauve silk stockings and patent leather pumps. In fact, more attention is being paid to the feet now than for some time past. French sandal cuts on American shoes are gaining in favor, and now, if one has courage, one can wear red kid pumps, or at least black patent ones with red Louis heels. Panama Hat Decorations. The annual panama hat has taken to decorating itself with many bright colors. Some have crowns of bright-colored cretonne, some are painted in patchwork design and some have the brims lined with gold tissue. --- J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
