LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY WELL-KNOWN NEGRO WOMAN TELLS RACE HARDING MUST WIN MRS. MARIE CRAWFORD HAS STRONG COMMENDATION FOR REPUBLICAN POSITION. SHE IS DISTINGUISHED WRITER One of Foremost Colored Women of Nation Compares Harding to Abraham Lincoln. VOL. XXVI. WELL-KNOWN NE TELLS RACE HAR MRS. MARIE CRAWFORD HAS REPUBLICA SHE IS DISTINGU One of Foremost Colored Women Abraham NEW YORK.—Speaking before the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs, at Concord Baptist church, Brooklyn, Thursday evening, August 5, Mrs. Marie A. Crawford, L. L. B., forcibly outlined the position of the colored people of the country in this political campaign and warmly praised Senator Harding for his outspoken utterances in behalf of justice to colored people. Mrs. Crawford is one of the foremost colored women of the nation, graduate of a university as well as in law, and has destination as a writer and speaker. She was designated by the Republican national committee as its representative at the session of the New England federation and commissioned by the committee to extend greetings. Her speech made a fine impression. Mrs. Crawford spoke as follows: Madame President, members of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs: "I extend to you the greetings of the national republican committee in your work for self betterment and I am instructed to say to you, in behalf of the republican national committee, that it is the earnest wish of the committee that the present session of the Northeastern Federation of Women's Clubs will be a continuance of the splendid work you have done in the past. With us, as a people, we are confronted with questions of graver concern than economic problems or even the all important Wilson league of nations. This national campaign confronts us at a time when not only is our liberty denied in a large section of this republic, but the lives of our people are without valuation in the consideration of the southern democracy. We, therefore, unlike other more fortunate American citizens, are not permitted to merely concern ourselves in such issues as finance and foreign affairs, for we are now compelled to face the most serious condition which is one involving the very fundamental principles of human life and human liberty. "That the great leadership of the republican party is now conscious of this situation confronting the colored people of the nation there can be no doubt. The man of the hour is here as the man of the hour has always come. Not since Lincoln has colored America heard such a message as has come from Harding. In his acceptance speech of the nomination for president, at Marion, Ohio, July 22, 1920, this great leader of the republican party, without evasion, assumed the mantle of Lincoln. "We, as a people, suffer keenly because the American constitution is not upheld in its letter and in its spirit and because the law is not enforced. Listen to these words of Senator Harding, from his speech of acceptance, State Hist. & Nat Hist Book State House "I believe in law enforcement. If elected I mean to be a constitutional president, and it is impossible to ignore the constitution, unthinkable to evade the law, when our every committal is to orderly government. "Neither government nor party can afford to cheat the American people. The laws of congress must harmonize with the constitution, else they soon are adjudged to be void; congress enacts the laws, and the executive branch of government is charged with enforcement. We cannot nullify because of divided opinion, we cannot jeopardize orderly government with contempt and law enforcement. Modification or repeal is the right of a free people, whenever the deliberate and intelligent public sentiment commands, but perversion and evasion mark the paths to failure of government itself." "I know, women of the federation, that you have, at every session of this body, petitioned the leaders of this nation in the behalf of law and order. Time and again you have sent telegrams of protest against the inhuman butchery and mob murder of our people. I have been with you in your sessions of prayer for deliverance from this great wrong. During all these long and trying years of the persecution of our people it has seemed to us that no great and powerful voice would rise up in our behalf. In the midst of our seeming hopelessness, however, God has raised up Warren G. Harding. In answer to the prayers of mothers and fathers of slavery days chattel slavery was overthrown. The prayers of their sons and daughters of today are being heard and political slavery will as inevitably end. Mob murder will go down with mob government. At the last, after all our waiting, thank God we have a statesman who has the courage and the conscience to declare, in the language of Senator Harding, these words: "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America." "This is not all that Senator Harding has said. In his creed of political beliefs, he emphatically proclaims: "I believe the Negro citizen of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights; that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." "No such assurance as this from the head of the republican party has ever come to us before. The outspoken utterances of Senator Harding, as the party standard bearer, become the commitment of the republican party. Our very all is involved in the success on this subject; ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, SA DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21 1920 of the Republican party in the coming election. I shudder to think what would befall our people in the South in the event of republican defeat." VICTIM OF JIM CROWISM. Sergeant Caldwell has died, a victim of the Jim Crow car laws of the South. He was a soldier of good reputation, who had served his country overseas. Upon his return to his home in Anniston, Ala., an altercation arose between him and a street car conductor over a seat. The conductor sought to evict him. A fight ensued in which Caldwell killed Linton. That there was extenuating circumstances in Caldwell's case is clear from the fact that influential persons pleaded for clemency, and please remember, that this was in the very heart of the South, where it is not the custom to either show or plead for mercy for a black man who kills a white man under any circumstances. Caldwell's case was even brought to the attention of President Wilson. All efforts to save Caldwell's life proved unavailing. He went to the scaffold and paid the penalty of his crime. He met his doom like a man. He died, we repeat, a victim of the Jim Crow car laws of the South. Some will call Edgar Caldwell foolish because he did not quietly submit to the customs of the section in which he was. Those who so reason, overlook the fact that a man who has risked his life on the battlefield for his country cannot tamely submit to conditions which rob him of his rights of manhood. This is a fact which America must squarely face, in the case of the returned overseas soldier who has come back with a new sense of manhood and personal rights. Linton died because he was trying to enforce discriminatory practices of his section, and Caldwell died because he rebelled against them.-The Monitor.

History of Wilson's Policy in Republic of Haiti Is a Bad Blemish Which Must Be Erased Pounces on Debt-Ridden Country for Bankers Here—Seizes Custom Houses of Negro Republic—Places for Deserving Democrats. WASHINGTON. August 19.—William Jennings Bryan, with a halo of puritanical righteousness encircling his classic brow, introduced the Democratic policy of dealing with struggling Negro republics, when he sent to his appointee down in Haiti that notorious letter: "As soon as you are settled I hope that you will find some places for deserving Democrats." Colonel Bryan was then secretary of state, and has since received his walking papers after differences with the President upon other matters, but the policy he inaugurated in the treatment of darker races was so fully in accord with Democratic ideals, that none of his successors has seen fit to change it in the slightest degree. Poor, struggling, debt-ridden Haiti would afford a few skimpy loaves and emaciated fishes for the Democratic office-holding class to fatten on, so the great Democratic party pounced on her like a buzzard on a sick chicken, to satisfy its greed. The Democratic party disagreed with Colonel Bryan on some matters, but the administration was one with him when he suggested that the slender income of the custom house at Port au Prince be parcelled out among "deserving Democrats." Grabbing the Crumbs of Lazarus. It would be hard to find in history a parallel of the administration's exploitation of Haiti's discomfiture. The story is kept fresh in the minds of the public because it is being enacted at present. Haiti was represented as owing to certain European and New York bankers sums of money that were overdue, and the administration constituted itself as a constable to collect these dues, by forcibly taking over the customs machinery of the Negro republic and disbursing the receipts to its creditors. Instead of adopting the methods of economy, as might be suggested to a conscientious receiver, the administration, through its secretary of state, wrote in black and white, that its agent there should first "find some places for deserving Democrats," stealing the crumbs from Lazarus. The story of Democratic administration of the affairs in Haiti is one of greed and intolerance. Native clerks were displaced by deserving Democrats, and all "deserving Democrats, according to the Democratic curriculum, are white. The few Haitian employés that were retained were held only for the drudgery, and there exists a difference of 60 percent between the compensation of a native employé in the custom house of his own country and that of a Democratic employé, alien and unsympathetic, who had been sent down there to fill his pockets. As a Democratic idea of the self-determination of peoples this is a powerful illustration. Even the poverty of a poor, Negro republic is not NO.45 immune in providing places for "deserving Democrats." Engendered Race Hatred. Under Republican administrations a fine friendly feeling has always obtained between Haiti and the United States. It had been the rule of Republican Presidents, never once violated, to send a representative colored American to represent this government, and by this means every amicable end was served. The United States enjoyed the commercial profits of trade and Haiti fully appreciated having men of nativity similar to her own to deal with. But in the Democratic zeal to provide places for "deserving Democrats," this rule has been as constantly broken as it has been observed by the Republicans. DETAILED TO TUSKEGEE. Washington, D.

Esteban Cantu, the governor of Lower California, is willing to abandon his rebellion against the government if he is permitted to remain in office until December, when he agrees to surrender office to the successful candidate.

Denver. — Enthusiastic over the prospect of a continuous motor highway connecting twelve national parks and traversing nine western states, the California State Automobile Association is sending a car from San Francisco to enter the official caravan that will take officials of the National Park Service and the National Park to Park Highway Association on a sixty-day tour of the new automobile course, starting from Denver August 25th. The car is accompanying the pathfinder car driven by A. L. Westgard, representing the American Automobile Association, who passed through California recently and is on his way back to Denver.

S. Shipping Board Calls Another Halt Protecting the Birds—and Other Things "One of the Most Revolting of Crimes" ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION ILL NEED 65 NEW SEATS FOR TH' HOUSE WASHINGTON.—Unless the membership of the house is increased from 485 to at least 500 to meet the increased population shown by the 1920 census, ten states will lose one or more representatives, according to Representative Siegel of New York, chairman of the census committee which will frame the new apportionment bill. Those states are: Indiana, Iowa and Missouri, which will lose two congressmen each; and Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia, which will lose one congressman each. Mr. Siegel explains that if the house membership is retained at its present figure it will be necessary to increase the population basis in each congressional district beyond the 211-. OPERATION of the section of the new merchant marine act providing preferential rail rates on exports sent to seaboard for movement in American bottoms will be suspended until January 1, 1921, it has been announced by the shipping board. Chairman Benson explained that this time would be necessary for an investigation of facts and intelligent application of the provisions of the act. This section is one of those to which foreign steamship companies have objected and ultimately it is expected to be made the basis for diplomatic conversations between the American and other foreign governments. This is the second suspension under the provision of the law that the shipping board may certify to the interstate commerce commission that it desires suspensions of ninety days' duration. The first suspension was certified on June 9. Announcing the further certification, Chairman Benson said: "This section of the act is in the interest of American commerce and shipping. Congress had in view that the movement of our commerce to or treated to pealed higidory birds Congress IN ACCORDANCE with a resolution passed by the senate asking the president to negotiate treaties with countries south of the United States border for the protection of our migratory birds, the bureau of biological survey is now proceeding actively to secure information. It is sending a competent ornithologist to Argentina, Uguguy, Paraguay and southern Brazil for the purpose of studying migratory birds from the United States that pass our winter season in those regions. As such a treaty is now in effect with Canada, the birds will ultimately be protected all along the line of migration. ACTIVITIES of the last session of congress have been made public by E. M. Martin, tally clerk of the house. The house was in session 149 days. EVIDENCE against fourteen young men, former employees of the war risk bureau, charged with defrauding disabled soldiers out of claims aggregating more than $100,000, has been presented to the grand jury by District Attorney John E. Laskey. Thirty-five specific cases of soldiers having been victimized were presented, although there are seventy-two cases in which veterans of the war have been defrauded "and only the top of the conspiracy has been scraped," according to the secret service officials. A big force of secret service operatives are working on the plot, and 18,000 claims are being investigated on the suspicion that several thousand more victims of the alleged swindlers may be found. The ramifications of the investigation cover the whole country, including the army hospitals and rehabilitation institutions. Other arrests are expected, as the secret service have trailed a number of suspects to the remotest sections of the country. "None shall escape," declared W. H. Moran, chief of the secret service, who characterizes the conspiracy as "one of the most revolting of crimes." 000 or major portion thereof now fixed. If this is done, he says, the ten states named will lose one or more of the present districts because their populations have not increased in proportion to those of other states. On the basis of the estimated population of 103,000,000 for the whole country, in 1920, an increase of approximately 14,000,000 in ten years. Mr. Siegel says sixty-five or sixty-six new seats in the house must be created if the ten states are to retain their present numerical representation. While precedent warrants the increase. Mr. Siegel declares there is strong opposition to it on the part of some of the present representatives while others favor reduction to as few as 300 members. Mr. Siegel expects the work of framing the new apportionment bill in accord with the new population to begin with the reconvening of congress in December, and he anticipates that the measure will be passed early in 1921. Every decade since 1790, with the single exception of 1840, the house membership has been enlarged to keep pace with the growing population. Now the house floor is crowded when all members are present. HALT from any foreign port or a port in a dependency or possession of the United States should not be restricted and so required the board to certify this to the interstate commerce commission and authorized the commission to suspend the provisions of Section 28, where American facilities be tween such ports and the United States were inadequate. "The board has decided that ninety days' suspension does not afford opportunity for proper inquiry into the subject. Until fully informed it could not make intelligent application of the provisions of Section 28, and has certified to the interstate commerce commission the desirability of further suspension of those provisions until January 1, 1921." over a period of 188 days. During that time 3,725 bills, 132 joint resolutions, 193 simple resolutions, and 23 concurrent resolutions were introduced. The president aproved 193 public laws and 34 public resolutions. House committees reported to the house calendar 400 bills and resolutions, while the house acted on 231 bills and 127 resolutions. There will be pending for immediate action when the house convenes 259 bills. DANGER of a strike of radio operators on American vessels has been averted for at least pinny days. An agreement has been entered into by Admiral Benson, chairman of the shipping board, with leaders of the National Radio Telegraphers' association to extend the present agreement to November 1. MANY collections of Americana having to do with the tercentenary of the Pilgrims will be on exhibit this year. One of the largest exhibition will be in the library of congress which has an unusually valuable store of colonial curios, and Herbert Putnam, the librarian, has offered to ar range large collections that will be changed from time to time, so that many phases of the early colonial life may be dealt with. There is no safety in the flight of the accused or suspected, according to Chief Moran, who has information about the intention of a number of college men to flee to Mexico. A least two who planned to escape the penalty by fleeing the United States have already been apprehended. The inevitable part of a "woman in the case" has developed, and two young women are under suspicion. Two have been taken to the head quarters of the secret service and closely questioned about their suspected complicity, as they took par in joy rides and in other ways helped the defendants spend score of the money taken from the disabled soldier.

You look upon "the trouble of a soul in thrall to mean despairs." Then you watch this man as the great unselfish fires are kindled in his life.

THE LAW SHOULD BE OBEYED. GOVERNOR CALVIN COOLIDGE, in accepting the vice presidential nomination on the Republican ticket the other day, among many pungent and striking phrases throughout his remarkable speech, said: "One with the law is a majority." So, in the case of the decision by Judge Whitford, when on last Monday he sentenced the seven street car strike leaders to ninety days in jail for willful contempt of court. In sentencing the men—the leaders—to jail he was free from malice or feeling, neither for or against the tramway company on the one hand, nor the union on the other, but simply upholding the law and the dignity of the court when his injunctive orders were ruthlessly violated. We dare say that had the tramway company violated the injunction issued by Judge Whitford he would have met out to the officers of the company the same punishment, and perhaps even more severe. But the time is at hand when the law must not be trifled with if the government is to stand. Judge Whitford, in fearlessly punishing the men for their uncalled for violation of his order, has not only served the cause of the city of Denver and the state of Colorado and the people at large, but he has saved the union itself from destruction. As Governor Coolidge said: "Observance of the law is the greatest solvent of public ills." In this case the leaders were persuaded by the mayor not to call a strike, but wait upon the law. They were obdurate and listened only to the harangue of the destructive agitator. In the words of Governor Coolidge they "rejected the rule of law and accepted the sword of force." We quote these poignant words of this great governor in order to drive home the more forcibly the disastrous effects of running amuck with the law. Civilization has progressed too far to countenance mob-law, and the destruction of property by anyone or any set of men to enforce their grievances, whether they be right or wrong. The actions of the labor unions in the last few years have become so domineering, intolerant and arrogant in their demands that it has aroused the entire business world, and as a result we see, not the capitalists alone, but every business man, big and little, openly declaring for the "Open Shop." So pronounced has the sentiment become all over the country for the open shop that we even see men running for important office declaring for open shop. The most notable instance in this campaign is that of ex-Senator Joseph Bailey of Texas, who is making the race for governor of his state, upon the platform of the open shop, and leading all candidates in the race by more than four thousand. In a speech by him during his recent campaign before a large audience he said: "The closed shop is a boycott against labor itself. I cannot agree that any American citizen is to be denied the right to make a living for himself and his wife and children because he does not belong to a labor union or to the Democratic party or to the Presbyterian church. I deny the right of any organization to proscribe him and turn him out an outcast from honest employment, because he is not a member of this or that." And then he exclaimed that he would destroy every labor union in Texas before he would allow the labor unions to destroy the government. This eloquent declaration was received with an outbust of applause and cheering by his great audience, which showed clearly that the people were with him. So we say, let the labor unions beware—they are arousing public sentiment against them. This is not Judge Whitford's first experience with labor unions. When he was on the bench a few years ago it was his painful duty to send some coal miners to jail. Judge Whitford deserves the gratitude of the people in fearlessly and impartially upholding the law. More judges like him will create a healthy respect for the law and the courts and discourage mob law and violence. SUFFRAGE RATIFICATION AN ESTABLISHED FACT. THAT women will vote in the November election for president was made certain by the action of the Tennessee Legislature last Wednesday, when a majority vote gave the tairty-sixth state creating the amendment which extends equal suffrage to all the women of America, bringing the Nineteenth Amendment to the constitution in vogue as soon as the secretary of state gets the official communication from Tennessee and he in turn declares to the nation. The women of America in their long struggle for national exercise of the franchise felt every confidence in the championing of their cause to a successful issue, as the action of England in recognition of the great services rendered to that nation in the time of stress and the perilous and darkened days that she recently passed through, lent an inspiration to the women of America that their cause was nearing the goal of success. There are some people who are afraid that as a whole the franchise may be misused or applied in such a manner as to render ineffective or create impediments in the way of progressive methods beneficial to the nation; but from our experience in the West for several years we can assert with emphasis that we find in "women vote" an intelligent, reasonable and very judicious use of this element that makes a citizen conscious of his or her usefulness to a community, to a nation, to a government, and therefore Colorado joins with those other states possessing the privilege for years in extending heartiest congratulations to the country at large for the great success attendant with the persevering efforts and the determination of the women to prove our government—a government by all of the people irrespective of sex. Of the thirty-six states that have ratified woman suffrage, twenty-nine are Republicans, while seven are Democrats; and even in the action of Tennessee, where the vote was tied in the Senate and another tie would have meant certain defeat, Representative Harry T. Burn, Republican, cast his vote for the women and won the day for them. Seeing now that Secretary of State Colby in his announcement is prepared to promulgate the necessary proclamation of ratification of the suffrage amendment as soon as he is formally notified, those of our women who have been in the enjoyment of this right for years should immediately start their missionary work, among their sisters of the Southland especially, educating them to the high ideals involved in the exercise of the franchise, and then the realization of our hopes for the intelligent use of the only weapon of defense against the onslaught of unfairness and discrimination, also deprivation of our civil rights, will come at last. Both presidential nominees have welcomed the ratification, and as Senator Hardling expresses in his gratification of the outcome in which he said: "All along I have wished for the completion of ratification and have said so, and I am glad to hear all the citizenship of the United States is to take part in presidential elections. The Republican party will welcome the response of American womanhood to its appeal to the confidence of all our people." So THE COLORADO STATESMAN, on behalf of Colorado and other Western states rejoices in the fact of the advantage given to the women to assist in the government of the country by the exercise of that which will prove their worthy of the name and honor of American citizenship, which means so much in the helping to adjust national and international affairs at this momentous period of our country. AGAIN, WE CONGRATULATE THE WOMEN. Importance of Universal Kindergarten Work for All of Our Children. By MAJ. GEN. W. G. HAAN, U. S. Army. If I should be permitted to step for a moment outside of the educational work in the army, I would be persuaded to mention the importance of universal kindergarten work for all of our children. It is in these early states that the mind is pliable and susceptible to proper guidance in correct thinking; in learning to reason honestly to correct conclusions, simple as they may seem, yet complex as they probably appear to the youthful mind. M. H. It is in these early stages that I believe we could and should lead the children's minds in the correct way of thinking, in coming to correct and elementary conclusions, and in their later work to keep constantly before their minds the principles so inculcated. I think one of the greatest deficiencies in our entire system of education is a lack of leadership among the very young, the children of kindergarten age. "The Fires of God:" The Story of the Awakening of a Selfish Man. By LYNN HAROLD HOUGH, President Northwestern University John Drinkwater's play, "Abraham Lincoln," has secured an unusual hearing in London. Mr. Drinkwater himself recently spoke on the campus of Northwestern university. He is not only a writer of plays, but he is a poet of no mean ability. One of his particularly vivid and telling poems is called "The Fires of God." It tells the story of the awakening of a selfish man. First you feel his shame "Of having been unstirred of all the sound Of the deep music of the men that move Through the world's days in suffering and love." "All girt with passionate truth to wage High battle for the word unsaid, The song unsung, the cause unled, The freedom that no hope can gauge." You surrender with him to their appeal, and you, too, cry, "Together we will march toward the ways Wherein the marshalled hosts of morning wait In sleepless watch, with banners wide unfurled Across the skies in ceremonial state, To greet the men who lived triumphant days, And stormed the secret beauty of the world." World May Be Safe for Democracy; America Safe for Bureaucracy. The number of bureaus and other agencies in the various departments is steadily multiplying. We are a bureau-governed country. The world may have been made safe for democracy, but this country was long ago made safe for bureau- eracy. Martians May Resemble Straddle-Bugs; Cannot Communicate With Us. Now, while it may be possible that Mars is inhabited by some sort of creatures, they could not by any possibility be like ourselves in any essential respect. They are just as likely to resemble straddle-bugs, spiders, or ground-moles as they are to resemble us. Mars is much smaller than the earth; its atmosphere is much lighter; it must have cooled off much more quickly than the earth; the action of the elements upon it must have been vastly different from that of the elements on the earth, and changes took place upon it with far greater rapidity, so that there was not sufficient time for the slow evolution of various species of animals upon it of such high types as we have upon the earth. If one were to take a form of printer's types, set to print the Lord's prayer, throw it into pi, and then throw it back again upon the galley, there would be as much chance of the types falling back into their proper places to print the prayer without an error as there is of there being inhabitants on the planet Mars with whom we might by any possibility communicate.

We are deeply indebted to Mrs. William Sprague for the following splendid additions to our library: "Leaders of the Nineteenth Century," "The Life of William McKinley," "The Remarkable Advancement of the Afro-American," "Is the Negro Making Good?" "Heroes of the Plains," "The Promise and Promiser." "The Afternoon of Life," and "Sport in Many Lands." These books are very inspiring, and the books are in excellent condition. It was very kind in the giver to remember us in this fashion. Would you have a member of the race represent you in the State Assembly? Then place your vote where it will count; where you have a chance to win. E. P. BLAKEMORE has that chance. Several thousand voters of the opposite race have pledged to vote for him because of his PECULIAR FITNESS and because he is WELL KNOWN as a public man. No one can be nominated without the support of these thousands of white friends. Plans are still in formation for the fall work. In a year like this, when the minds of the people are so deeply absorbed in local, state and national politics, it is not altogether an easy matter to lay out definite plans for the fall. This is being done, however, to the extent to which it is possible to be done at this time, though many of our plans will doubtless have to be altered or revised. We are still waiting to hear from the board of directors as to what they have learned concerning the plans for the new building, the blueprints of which they have been waiting for some time. Until we hear from them it will be impossible for us to give out any definite information to our many inquirers and members who are seeking information from us on that point. The public may rest assured that this information will be given out by us as soon as it has been received from the board. INC.

FREE COURSE IN HAIR AND BEAUTY CULTURE MAILED FREE UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS "SEND NO MONEY" THE OZONIZED OX MARROW CO. 46 W. KINZIE ST. CHICAGO, ILL. --- with some part of the field work. All of this is in addition to cooking the family meals and caring for the children. This, of course, is the dark side of the shield. It does not take into consideration the many compensations that come with the woman's daily round of work for the comfort of her family, and anyone who has experienced the satisfaction of living in the open country knows that the average farm woman is more fortunately placed than her average city sister. But the task is sufficiently grinding, as Miss Ward says, to send the farm woman to bed "breathing a prayer that her strength may be equal to tomorrow's duties." Labor-Saving Equipment Important. What is to be done about it? The department suggests some very definite things. "The interest of the department of agriculture in the returns from these studies as to labor, working equipment, and compensations of the farm women are as practical," says Miss Ward. "as its interest in farm studies regarding labor, machinery and crop returns, and for the same general reason." The farm woman's working hours might be shortened, she continues, if the principles of modern business were applied to the farm home. Running water for the 60 per cent who now must carry water, and bathrooms for the 80 per cent who now have none are other things that would lighten the woman's labor and add to her comfort and contentment. Labor could be lessened if the farm house were as well equipped as the up-to-date barn, which the farmer looks upon as so much currency with which to buy efficiency. The installation of modern lighting systems would release some of the time of the women in the 79 per cent of homes where kerosene lamps are used. The initial cost would be small when weighed against convenience and comfort. The installation of heating systems would release some of the time of the 54 per cent of women who care for two coal or wood stoves. "As power on the farm is the greatest of time and labor savers for the farmer," Miss Ward's report says. "so power in the home is the greatest boom to the housewife." Forty-eight percent of the farms covered by the survey reported power for operating farm machinery but only 22 per cent have this advantage for the home. "That," says Miss Ward. "Is a singular fact when we consider that frequently it is a simple matter to connect the engine used at the barn with the household equipment." The washing machine is another labor-saver. Selling the cream to a creamery wherever possible instead of churning it at home is still another. In short, the same sort of intelligence and a fraction of the money applied to making field and barn work convenient would, if applied to the home, save untold drudgery to the women of the farms and would add both to the profit and the comfort of farm life. Quite Convenient for School, Club or Grange. Experienced Cooks Are Often Troubled in Preparing Food for a Large Number—Formulas for Cocoa and Cream Soup. Cooking in large amounts often troubles even the experienced cooks, for most women are accustomed to plan for only small numbers. When a hot dish is to be served in school, club, or grange a recipe for a large number is convenient to have, say home economic experts of the United States department of agriculture. The following recipes for cocoa and cream soup will serve fifty. Cocoa. Cocoa, 1½ cups. Boiling water, 1 Sugar, 2 cups. quart. Milk, 8 quarts. Water, 1 pint. Mix cocoa with pint of cold water until smooth; add boiling water and boil twenty to thirty minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar to hot milk in double boiler, and pour cocoa mixture into this. Beat with egg beaten until froth forms on surface. Grate the rind of a small lemon or half an orange into the bread pudding before baking WOMAN POWER IS WASTED ON FARM One of Greatest Menaces to Rural Life of Nation, According to Specialists. MODERN EQUIPMENT IS NEED Instead of Using Increased Incomes for Purchase of More Land Farmers Should Spend Some of It in Raising Standards. The waste of woman power is one of the greatest menaces to the rural life of the nation, according to deductions that specialists of the United States department of agriculture draw from a farm survey conducted in the 33 northern and western states. The survey was made under the direction of Miss Florence E. Ward, in charge of extension work with women, office of extension work, north and west, states relations service. The records cover 10,015 farm homes, averaged by taking typical communities of the counties in which the survey was made. Much of the information was gathered personally by home demonstration agents, who are the field representatives of the United States department of agriculture and the state agricultural colleges. Miss Ward points out, from the facts shown by the survey, that a reasonable amount of planning and well-directed investment in modern equipment for farm homes would prevent a large part of this wastage of the energy of the nation's rural homemakers. "This is a serious matter," she continues, "because we have a live national problem now in working out the economics of country living in such way as to make them satisfied to stay on the land and help build it up. Perhaps the greatest factor in bringing this about will be the healthy, alert, and expert home-maker who will see to it that part of the increased income from the farm goes into improvement of the home. At a time like this, when A woman washing clothes in a bucket. Ninety-Six Per Cent of Farm Women Interviewed in Recent Survey Do the Family Washing, About Half of Them Doing the Work With Tub, Washboard and Boiler, a Back-Breaking Task. the dearth of farm labor is a limiting factor in production, it is very doubtful business policy for farmers to use increased income to buy more land instead of using a part of it in raising standards of living so that women and young people will not want to go to the cities in search of attractive living conditions and amusement." Picture of Farm Woman's Work Day. The survey discloses a number of the reasons why many women do not find farm life attractive. The working day of the average farm woman, as shown by the survey, is 11.3 hours, the year round. In summer, it is 13.12 hours. And 87 out of each 100 women have no regular vacation during the year. O. O. the average, the farm woman can find only 1.6 hours of leisure during the summer and only 2.4 hours in winter. Half of the farm women are up and at work at 5 o'clock in the morning. Forty per cent have water in the kitchen, but the other 60 per cent must go to the spring or the pump to bring the water for cooking breakfast. Thirty-six per cent help with the milking. On the average, the farm woman has a 7-room house to keep in order. Seventy-nine per cent have kerosene lamps to trim and fill. Ninety-six per cent do the family washing, about half of them having washing machines and the other half doing the work with tub, wash-board and boiler. Twenty-six per cent have gas or electric irons to make more comfortable the task of ironing. Ninety-two per cent do some or all of the family sewing. Garden work is done by 56 per cent, 94 per cent make all or part of the family bread and 60 per cent have churning to do. Eighty-one per cent of all poultry flocks are cared for by women. One fourth of the farm women help to feed and bed the live stock, and 24 per cent of them spend over six weeks in the year assisting RECIPES WHICH WILL SERVE FIFTY PEOPLE RECIPES WHICH WILL SERVE FIFTY PEOPLE Cream Soup—Potato Potatoes, 8 pounds, scalded milk, 10 of medium size. quarta.

THE KITCHEN CABINET It is a pleasant thing to reflect upon that every baby born into the world is a finer one than the last.—"Nicholas Nickleby." WHAT SHALL WE HAVE TO EAT When there is a cupful or two left of baked or boiled fish, try: Turban of Fish.—Seal one and one-half cupfuls of milk with one slice of onion, a blade of mace and a sprig of parsley; remove the seasonings. Melt one-fourth of a cupful of butter, add the same amount of flour, half a teaspoonful of one and one-half cupfuls of milk with one slice of onion, a blade of mace and a sprig of parsley; remove the seasonings. Melt one-fourth of a cupful of butter, add the same amount of flour, half a teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of cayenne, then add the scalded milk gradually and two well-beaten yolks. Put a layer of fish on a buttered dish, sprinkle with salt and pepper and add a few drops of lemon juice. Cover with sauce, continuing with the fish and sauce, shaping in a pyramid form. Cover with buttered crumbs and brown in a hot oven. Macaroni and Cheese in the Fireless Cooker.—Boll one cupful of macaroni three minutes, adding one teaspoonful of salt to a quart of boiling water. Rinse, drain and place in a casserole. Fill the dish with milk, stir in one tablespoonful of flour cooked in two tablespoonfuls of butter long enough to blend it. Add one cupful of grated cheese and sprinkle thickly with paprika. Pack in a cooker between two moderately heated radiators, using one radiator as a cover to the casserole. Bake one and one-half hours. Do not heat the stones too hot or the dish will be baked hard and dry. Salmon Box.—Line a bread pan slightly buttered with warm, cooked rice well seasoned, cooking it in broth of milk if possible. Skim milk will do nicely. Fill the center with cold-boiled salmon flaked and seasoned with salt, pepper and a slight grating of nutmeg. Cover with rice and steam one hour. Turn out on a hot platter and surround with an egg sauce. The egg sauce is a simple drawn butter sauce to which the beaten yolks of two eggs are added with a teaspoonful of lemon juice. Fried Egg Plant.—Pare and cut in thin slices. Pile the slices on a platter, sprinkling each slice with salt, cover with a plate and weight. Let stand one hour, drain, rinse each slice in cold water, dip in beaten egg, then in seasoned crumbs-and fry until brown. August brings the snowy illies, Clad in robes of spotless white, Walking like a queen among them As she flings them left and right; Lillies pure and lovely crown her, And her dress in every fold Wears the semblance of a lily In its dream of white and gold. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. For the beginning of a dinner a soup of some kind is always in season; hot or cold, they add to the meal. Corn and Chicken Soup. Take six cupfuls of chicken broth, add one cupful of corn pulp and Corn and Chicken Soup. Take six cupfuls of chicken broth, add one cupful of corn pulp and half a cupful of cold chicken cut very fine. Season with salt, pepper and celery salt. Simmer half an hour, then add a tablespoonful of butter and half a cupful of milk. Bring to the boiling point and serve. This soup may be thickened with egg yolk, making it more nourishing. Lamb in Aspic.—Make a highly seasoned soup stock of vegetables, broth or beef extract, using a package of gelatine for each quart of stock. Soak the gelatine and add to the hot stock; stir until dissolved. Rinse a plain mold in cold water and pour in a layer of the aspic jelly, keeping the remainder warm. When the jelly in the mold is congealed but not hard, cover with thin slices of cold roast lamb and sprinkle with mint sauce. Cover with more jelly and repeat when the jelly hardens. Continue until the d'ch is full, having jelly on top. Set on ice to harden. Veal Croquettes.—Chop cold cooked veal very fine. Season with salt, pepper, grated onion, paprika and a little tomato catsup. Bind with raw egg, or a very little thick cream sauce. Shape into croquettes, dip in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat. Raspberry Charlotte.—Take two cupfuls of fresh raspberries, or canned will do, the juice of half a lemon, four ladyfingers, rolled into crumbs, and the whites of four eggs beaten stiff; mix lightly and pour into a buttered baking dish and bake 25 minutes. Serve with a thin custard sauce. Swiss Eggs.—Spread a stoneware platter with butter and lay on it very thin slices of cheese. Sprinkle with nutmeg and salt, then break over this enough eggs to serve the family. Pour over a half cupful of cream, sprinkle TO PROTECT ALUMINUM. To protect aluminum and aluminum alloys from corrosion, says the Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry, L. von Grotthuss has tried browning the metal electrolytically. By using this method, the aluminum may be bent or rolled without the coating. Aluminum thus treated was immersed in a salt solution for two months without showing the slightest trace of corrosion—Chemical Round Table with salt and bake until the eggs ar firm. Serve from the platter. A commonplace life, we say and we sigh; Yet why do we sigh as we say? The commonplace sun in the commonplace sky Makes up the commonplace day. The moon and the stars are commonplace things. The flower that blooms and the bird that sings; But sad were the world and dark the lot, If the flowers failed and the sun shone not, And God, who sees each separate soul, Out of commonplace lives makes his beautiful whole. —Susan Coolidge. FOOD FOR THE ILL. Indigestion, stomach trouble of various kinds as well as intestinal troubles have so many forms and causes that it is never safe to trust one's own ideas in regard to the kind of food one should eat. A physician after forms and causes that it is never safe to trust one's own ideas in regard to the kind of food one should eat. A physician after diagnosis will give a list of the various foods it is safe to eat; however it is probable that toast which is lightly toasted on the outside, soft and full of moisture inside is unwholesome for the most healthy stomach. Toast should be made of bread at least two days old, cut one half inch thick and dried for a few moments in the oven to remove any moisture, then while still hot from the oven slowly toasted a golden brown. Too many cooks serve toast by the recipe given by the small boy—"toast bread until black, then scrape it at the kitchen sink." Eggs, milk and combinations of eggs and milk when carefully prepared in regard to the one who is to eat the dish are foods which will be taken with comfort. Custards of all kinds, cooked just long enough to be smooth and velvety are not monotonous though served often. Fried foods of all kinds should be eliminated as they are especially hard to digest. Fruit juices, jellies, gelatine dishes and sea moss are desserts which may be commonly served in ordinary cases. Apple Custard.—Take five well-beaten eggs, add a quart of milk and one pint of strained apple sauce. Sweeten and flavor to taste and bake carefully until firm. Set the pan of custard into a pan of hot water to bake. SOME GOOD SUMMER SALADS. In no season of the year are salads as much enjoyed as during the warm weather when the appetite lags and crisp fresh things are most welcome. PINEAPPLE Cucumber Jelly.—Cut peeled cucumbers and tomatoes into dice, saving the juice. Season with grated onion, pepper and salt. Dissolve half a package of gelatin to two cupfuls of liquid, add to the vegetable juices, stir until well mixed, cool, cut-in cubes and serve in tomato cups with mayonnaise. String Beans.—Wash the beans and put them to cook with a little bacon fat stirring and cooking for five minutes, then add a very little water, set back where they can simmer, adding a very small amount of water when needed. Season and cook for two hours. Serve hot with curled bacon. Steamed Radishes.—Cook without peeling, the radishes, and if small, leave whole. Serve in a white sauce, using plenty of seasoning. If boiled, use very little water and reserve it for making the white sauce, so that the nutrient and flavor may be saved. Corn and Green Peppers.—Cook a medium-sized pepper in sweet fat, then add corn, seasoning and cook until slightly browned. Serve hot. Icebergs.—Dissolve two cupfuls of sugar in three cupfuls of water (boiling); cool, add three-fourths of a cupful of lemon juice, color leaf green and freeze. Serve in stemmed sherbet glasses. Put a teaspoonful of cream de menthe in each glass, sprinkle with finely chopped nuts, using almonds, filberts, pecans and walnuts in equal proportions. These may be used with the meat course, or between courses, or as a finish to the meal. Sicilian Sorbet.—Press a can or an equal amount of fresh peaches through a sieve, add one cupful of sugar, two cupfuls of orange juice, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, and when well mixed freeze.

A FARMER carrying an express package from a big mail-order house was accosted by a local dealer. "Why didn't you buy that bill of goods from me? I would have saved you the express, and besides you would have been patronizing a home store, which helps pay the taxes and builds up this locality." The farmer looked at the merchant 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 AMERICAN LEGION (Copy for This Department Supplied by National Library of the American Legion.) EX-SERVICE MEN IN SPORTS Olympic Games Will Recall Ancient Days When All Athletes Were Fighting Men. Until the Oxford-Cambridge relay team went to the Prensylvania relay carnival a short time ago and won the mile relay race from some of the fleetest teams in the United States, American athletes looked upon the Olympic games to be held at Antwerp as being designed more or less for their own particular amusement. The victory of the English runners at Philadelphia was something of a shock, and some dopesters are willing to concede that the Stars and Stripes may not after all break tape first in all the events. Contrary to general belief, there will be quite a sprinkling of ex-service men in the American team. One athletic expert has estimated that 60 per cent or more of the competitors will be veterans of some branch of the service. Many of these on form should be placed high in the events. Athletes—the amateurs—travel at so fast a pace that they do not remain at their top form for long, but many of the ex-service men still are leading in track and field. We have, for instance, Pat Ryan, former artilleryman, for the artillery is an ideal branch for a hammer thrower. Pat is still the world's champion and the record holder. In the Inter-Allied games in Paris a year ago he was only allowed to give an exhibition. The French were afraid that Pat would mess up some of the spectators if he were permitted to put the full heave into the hammer. Earl W. Eby is one of the best middle distance runners in the United States. He won the 400-meter race and finished second in the 800-meter race at the Inter-Allied games. Nick Gianakopolis is a likely winner of the Marathon. Nick not only served in the world war, but he was nutting around through the Mexican expedition under Pershing. Nick was such an expert at k. p. that he was known to two armies as "Soup." Ex-service men are looming up in all sections as candidates for the American Olympic team. The Middle West 10 Copyright Underwood & Underwood NICK GIANAKOPOLOS. is putting up C. E. Higgins in two of the ancient sports, the javelin and discus events. California is banking on Charles Paddock to take the 100 and 200-meter races. He won both of these events in the Inter-Allied games. WHAT THE LEGION HAS DONE Established service station at national headquarters and system of cooperating war risk officers in every state, thereby adjusting thousands of compensation claims for dependents of men who died or were disabled. National headquarters alone, which takes up only the most complicated cases that cannot be handled by posts or state headquarters, has settled individual claims aggregating approximately $1,000,000, between November 11, 1919, and May 15, 1920. The American Legion was conceived in Paris, February 15, 1919, at a gathering of twenty members of the A. E. F. Prior to the "Membership Push" it had more than 1,500,000 members in more than 9,000 posts throughout America and foreign countries, besides more than 800 women's auxiliary units. How's that for a "youngster" fifteen months old? The senate recently passed the bill adopted in the house October 30, 1919, providing for the deportation of certain undesirable aliens and denying readmission to those thus deported. This measure embodied principles favored by the Legion at its St. Louis caucus in May, 1919, and its passage was largely due to the efforts of the Legion's national legislative committee, of which Thomas W. Miller is chairman. FIGHT THE FOUR-FOLD BILL Rotary Club of North Carolina Among Others Expressing Disapproval of the Measure. Members of the Rotary club of Wilmington, North Carolina, who recently wired senators and congressmen urging rejection of the American Legion's four-fold optional compensation bill saving they did not believe ex-service men wanted a "free will offering from the government," are denounced in a resolution adopted at a mass meeting of approximately 500 ex-service men of their own community. The resolution recites that the Wilmington post of the American Legion had already gone on record in favor of the bill and that therefore the Rotary club members could not have felt they were expressing the real sentiment of ex-service men. "We believe," the resolution reads in part, "that said Rotary club members have used this phrase as a cloak to cover their true selfish desires, be- M. H. H. LEMUEL BOLLES. cause they would be affected financially by the passage of such a bill. Commenting on the resolution and the situation which gave rise to It. Lemuel Bolles, national adjutant of the Legion, declared the case was characteristic of the stand taken by opponents of the measure generally in various parts of the country. "These enemies of the bill," he said "have deliberately and repeatedly garbled the truth even to the extent of disseminating as facts statements which they knew to be false. Every intelligent American knows that the sentiment of ex-service men as a whole is overwhelmingly in favor of adjusted compensation. They have weighed the argument on both sides and fully believe the measure to be not only just and fair but consistent with the welfare of the country as well. This has been repeatedly proven and reported to congress following exhaustive canvasses in every state under the direct supervision of members of the Legion's national executive committee." WILL CONVENE IN CLEVELAND Call Issued for Second National Convention of Legion to Be Held September 27-29. The call for the second national convention of the American Legion, to be held at Cleveland September 27, 28 and 29, and which approximately 3,500 delegates and alternates, in addition to some 10,000 visiting Legionnaires and their families, are expected to attend, was issued from Legion national headquarters recently. Representation in the convention will be by state departments, each department being entitled to five delegates and an additional delegate for each 1,000 members fully paid up by that department according to the books of the national treasurer at the close of business August 28, 1920 Each department also is entitled to a number of alternates equal to the number of its delegates, but alternates will have power to vote only in the absence of the regular delegates. The convention is called, the call recites, for the purpose of electing officers for the ensuing year, amending the national constitution and for the transaction of such other business as may be brought before it in conformity with the national constitution. The term of office of the present national executive committee will expire with the adjournment of the convention and the new committee will convene within twenty-four hours after this adjournment. Members of both old and new committees are expected to attend this meeting, and one to be held by the old committee, probably September 25. Each delegation may be accompanied to the convention by such members of the Legion and their families as it sees fit to invite. As far as space will permit, tickets to the convention will be issued to each department delegation for the convenience of these guests. The convention committee, of which C. C. Chambers, 1729 East Twenty-second street, Cleveland, O., is chairman, has charge of arrangements for the convention.

REDS RETREAT BEFORE POLES ROUTED SOVIET FORCES LEAVE FIELD STREWN WITH CANNON AND SUPPLIES. 10,000 REDS CAPTURED SUCCESS OF POLISH ARMIES LEAD DELEGATES TO REJECT RED PEACE TERMS. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Warsaw, Aug. 20.—The Polish offensive is in full swing. More than 10,000 prisoners, thirty cannon, 300 machine guns and thousands of supply carts have been captured. The Poles have occupied Plonsk, Pultusk and Wyskow. Owing to the Polish pressure from the northeast it is reported that the Bolshevists are withdrawing their forces which reached the Vistula south of the Prussian border and to the northwest of Warsaw. The Warsaw sector is rapidly being cleared. North and northeast of the capital the Reds are being shoved back by the Poles, who are following them up all along the front, using artillery in such quantities as to cause great confusion among the invaders, who are on the run. London.—Polish delegates at the Minsk conference have refused to accept a peace condition advanced by the soviet for the disarmament of the Polish army unless the Russians disarm, says a wireless from Berlin, quoting a report from Minsk. Paris.—Polish forces are advancing with undiminished speed along the line running from north of Warsaw to Włodawa, about 110 miles southeast of Warsaw. Principal interest, however, attaches to the maneuvers of General Pilsudski's forces. Massed reserves which he had concentrated at Ivangorod have advanced sixty miles in three days and effected a junction with another army operating from Cholm, United, these armies are within eighteen miles of Brest-Litovsk, 120 miles east of Warsaw, and have now probably reoccupied the important center of communications, which the Reds were reported to be evacuating. The initial tactical aim of this maneuver, say military experts, is more than attained, as the left wing of the Bolshevist army, based on Brest Litovsk, has become separated, the Red center is being held before the forts of Warsaw and on the right they are reported in a critical situation. According to the latest news, the Poles have almost reached their next objective—the course of the middle Bug below Brest-Litovsk. Once attained, it is believed the retreat of the Bolshevik, concentrated in the Sledge region, will be cut off and they will be left with only one way to retire beyond the Bug. North of the Narew, the Polish left wing is continuing to advance and is now well up in the fork between the Narew and Bug. Near Thorn, in the Danzig corridor northeast of Warsaw, fresh troops have appeared. They surrounded the Red detachments, which reached the Vistula and removed all danger to communication between Warsaw and Danzig by the Vistula and also cleared the railroad from Danzig to Soldau. To Prohibit Importing Luxuries. Christiania.—Importation into Norway of articles of luxury, such as automobiles, diamonds, laces, paintings, pianos and phonographs is forbidden by a government order effective at once. Woman Saves Boys Drifting to Sea. New York.—The eye of a woman scanning the ocean through a telescope, "just for fun," caught sight of four boys clinging to the gunwale of an overturned rowowt, drifting to sea a mile off shore. The woman, Mrs. Earl Monger of Manhattan, dropped the glass and rushed to a life saving station, where she directed rescuers to the boys' aid. All were saved. Washington.—An immediate embargo on the movement of coal to tidewater except upon a definite showing that the coal upon arrival at piers would be unloaded into vessels with reasonable promptness, has been agreed upon by the railroads, it was announced by the American Railroad Association. Civil War Veterans Killed. Loraine, Ohio.—Capt. George Norton, 81, of Los Angeles, Cal., and Lyman Knowles, 82, of Elyria, Ohio, Civil War veterans, were instantly killed when they were struck by an interurban car near here. Robberies Continue in Ireland. Dublin, Ireland.—The huddling up and robbing of mail trains and mail motors by armed and masked gangs continues. A party boarded a Dublin southeastern train at Ferns, taking all the official mails. Twenty raiders held up a mail car near Kilbrittain and seized six bags of mail. Postal officials with mails from Buncrana, naval and military center, were warylaid and the mails taken, while official letters were reengived from another train held up near Buncrana.

THE FASHION OF THE TIME WHEN a dress is called "practical" we are apt to feel that it has been condemned with cold praise and "practical" offered as its excuse for not being pretty. House frocks for the average woman must be practical and their manufacturers have undertaken to make them at least good looking. They have succeeded so well that there are many models that are both practical and pretty. The simpler designs are planned to launder easily; usually cut with kimono body and sleeves, made in one piece, and with a loose adjustment about the waistline, where a belt of the material slips through straps of it, to give the waistline the required definition. House dresses for everyday, ordinary wear are shown in a variety of designs that are really attractive. After experimenting with other good fabrics, and successfully, designers return to gingham with unshaken confidence. In plaids and checks it has been a great favorite this season without having any claim to novel. But Blouses Invite Blouses Invite Embroideries J JUDGING by such blouses as have lately arrived from the hands of those who create them, we have not seen the last of the bright-hued embroideries on dark-colored georgette. Nor the last of blouses made of vivid colors in georgette, with silk or bead embroidery, in contrasting colors, as an embellishment. But we are seeing the first of long sleeves, and they are causing much surmise as to the fate of sleeves for the coming fall season. Some very handsome blouses, as well as gowns, for fall, feature rather delicate embroidery in all-over patterns on georgette, crepe de chine, marquisette and chiffon. The early styles make cheerful promise of alluring color in new blouses for dressy wear at least. A fore-runner of the fall mode is shown here. Whoever is fond of embroidery will be arrested by this model, since it goes to great lengths in its decoration. To make it one has to select a dark colored georgette and designers have managed it cleverly as one of many good models will prove. This is shown in the picture. It is noticeable that the skirt and tunic are cut on the straight of the goods and the tunic left open at the front. It is bordered with a bliss band of the goods. The waist is plain, with three-quarter length sleeves, and has an organdie vestee and rolled collar, plotteded, with four flat pearl buttons making a neat finish at each side of it. The vestee has two picot-edged flouces set on a plain foundation and there are rather large patch pockets capped with organdie. - Checked ginghams in the dainter colors with white are particularly pretty made up with organdle, but they are out of the class of practical house frocks. Plain chambray with organdle and these checked ginghams have made some of the prettiest summer dresses. Usually they have organdle collars, cuffs, vestes and sashes and occasionally organdle vells the entire waist. Embroideries seen in a lighter, contrasting color for bindings. And it employs narrow picot-edged ribbon, declaring itself as opposed to simple things, with bindings and ribbons and embroidery all amplifying its story. The ribbon heads the deep flaring cuffs with a band terminating in a bow and ends. But we cannot give undivided attention to this pretty finish while bindings of satin insist on the fact that sleeves are long and cuffs are full, falling over the hands. The neck is round, with bound edge and the large embroidered motif at the front is in several rich colors. But in the blouse itself it is not as conspicuous as in the photograph. Flannel Skirts. Flannel skirts make their appearance occasionally. --- --- MADAM Have you wondered how you beauty; how you might wavy hair and a smooth Have you wondered how you income so that you might take annual vacations an Write today for our solut Dept.
