SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE PEOPLE'S PAPER IN COLORADO "THE COLORADO STATESMAN" MY EXPERIENCE ABROAD VOL. XXVI. (By Mrs. Mary B. Talbert.) ATTENDING the International Congress of Women was as interesting, as illuminating and as gratifying an experience as it falls to the lot of the average woman to have. It was held in Zurich, Switzerland, from May 13th to 17th, inclusive. Women from all over the world were present. On sober second thought it is more truthful to say that women from all over the "white world" were present, for there was not a single, solitary delegate from Japan or China or India or from any other country whose inhabitants were not white. Since I was the only woman present who had a single drop of African blood in her vein, it was my duty and privilege to represent not only the colored women from the United States, but the whole continent of Africa as well. In fact, I was the only delegate who gave any color to the occasion at the other side. In the first place I was invited to be one of thirty-five delegates to the International Congress of Women. But the government refused to give passport to more than twelve. Miss Jane Addams, president of the congress, insisted that I should be one of the twelve, and did everything in her power to have me to go. It would have been very easy in reducing the number from thirty-five to twelve to leave the colored delegate out. The other incident occurred when Addams came to me Wednesday morning during the convention and said that the first large public meeting would be held the next evening, Thursday, in the magnificent old cathedral, the largest auditorium in Zurich, and that the American delegation had decided unanimously to have me represent it. Since Zurich is in the German division of Switzerland and I knew my audience would understand German better than any other language, I decided to deliver my address in the tongue which the greatest number would understand, so I spoke in German. Naturally I discussed the race problem, stating the progress we have made along all lines of human endeavor in spite of almost unsurmountable obstacles and appealing for justice and fair play to all the dark races of the earth. I also emphasized as strongly as I could that white people might talk about permanent peace till doomsday, but they could never have it unless the dark races were treated fairly and squarely. I can give no better proof of the breadth of view and the generosity of heart manifested by the delegates than to state that the following resolution which I presented was unanimously passed: "We believe no human being should be deprived of an education, prevented from earning a living, debarred from any legitimate pursuit in which he wishes to engage, or be subjected to any humiliation on account of race or color. We recommend that members of this congress should do everything in their power to abrogate laws and change customs which lead to discrimination against human beings on account of race, color or creed." In Paris where I remained five months, I had a delightful visit with Monsieur Jean Finot, whom I met for the first time fifteen years ago returning for the International Congress of Women which was held in Berlin. M. Finot, as is well known, is the editor of La Revue Mondiale and is the author of the most remarkable book on the race question which has appeared for years. Le Prejuge des Races, a thick volume in French, was translated into English by the well-known W. T. Stead, formerly editor of the Review of Reviews in England, and greatly abbreviated under the title of "The Death Agong" or "The Science of Race." M. Finot presented me with both the shortened English and French editions and has given me permission to have it reprinted in the United States. It is impossible to find stronger and more scientific arguments against the natural superiority or inferiority of certain races than are given in M. Finot's book. Nothing is more exhilarating and encouraging than a talk with this great French writer, who believes heart and soul in the superb mental and spiritual endowments of his dark brothers. MRS. MARY B. TALBERT For many reasons the interview of an hour and a half with Baron Makino, at the Hotel Meurice, is in delibly stamped upon my mind. I felt when I left him that I had been in the presence of one of the foremost diplomats of the present day. With Captain Boutte as guide, who was with the visitors' bureau in Paris, I saw a large part of the devastated section of France. I have not the power to give the faintest idea of the terrible, wanton destruction I saw and the pathetic efforts made by the returning refugees to re-establish their homes. While I was in Paris Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Wells extended me a cordial invitation to be their house guest when I reached England. Many will recall, no doubt, the very stirring article which the great English novelist wrote on the "Tragedy of Color Line" after he had visited the United States about fifteen years ago. Mr. Wells lives on one of the estates belonging to the Countess of Warwick, about one hour and a half by rail from London. The grounds around the estate are very beautiful and seem boundless. The house itself is large, furnished in exquisite taste and contains everything that makes for happiness and comfort. State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House LIABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S. The other house guests, invited at the same time, were Mr. St. John Ervine, a most successful young author and playwright, whose play, "John Ferguson," ran in a New York theater nearly the whole of last summer; his wife, Mrs. Irvine, a charming young woman; Mr. Thomas Lamont of New York, who bought the Evening Post from Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard not long ago, is one of J. Pierpont Morgan's representatives in Europe and was a valued member of President Wilson's party in the Paris conference on the League of Nations, and Mrs. Lamont, a very vivacious, attractive woman. I shall always be sorry that I know nothing about stenography since that memorable visit with all those interesting, well-informed and delightful people under one roof and at one table, then all gathered together after dinner in a single circle. Mrs. Wells herself is a very charming, vivacious and attractive woman, who likes to entertain her friends. Mr. Wells is one of the most approachable, unaffected, entertaining and hospitable hosts imaginable. He must have found the fountain of youth, for he has the energy, activity and zest of a young man who has just reached his majority. I saw him play the game of ball described in "Mr. Brittling Sees It Through" an entire morning, and then later on he played tennis the whole afternoon. While I was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Wells, the Countess of Warwick, whom I met in London fifteen years ago, invited me to tea. The baby, who was just a few months old then, had grown to be a beautiful young woman, and one of the pleasant experiences during that visit was a rather exciting game of ball with this little Lady Mercy Greville in Mr. Wells' gymnasium. At the Countess of Warwick's tea I met a number of people distinguished in the literary, social and political life of England. It was my privilege to meet personally and to hear on several occasions Sir Henry Johnson, the noted expert on Africa. Once when he presided at a dinner given by the African Society and again when he addressed the National Liberty Club, the largest club in London. I also heard at this same dinner Sir Hugh Clifford, governor of the Gold Coast, and met Lady Clifford also. It would be a great mistake not to say at the dinner given by this so-called African Society there were about five in all out of possibly 250 who attended who had any African blood in their veins at all, the others being people who were interested in the dark continent for one reason or another—and some of these were people of high degree. Mrs. medial quest many stirlish y of the years theses of half bands auti- house sit that. It was a rare privilege and a genuine pleasure to spend the afternoon at Mrs. Coleridge-Taylor's home with her two interesting children, and to attend a concert with her at which several songs written by the great composer were sung. Mrs. Coleridge-Taylor's loyalty to the memory of her husband is evident in everything she says and does. Her daughter, Gwendolyn, has undoubtedly inherited her father's talent; I asked her to play an instrumental solo and she granted my request by rendering a very brilliant and difficult selection. I told her mother that I could not recall having heard it before and asked the name of the composer. "It's Gwen- nie's composition," Mrs. Taylor replied, looking at this very promising child with affection and pride. Hiwatha has also inherited some of his father's talent. He is very musical and has already written several scenarios which have been accepted. Altogether the trip abroad last summer was profitable and pleasurable in every way. There were a few bits of information I gleaned first-hand which were not very reassuring, but that was to be expected under the circumstances after the whole world had practically been turned upside down for four years. In a short sketch it is impossible to mention in detail the subjects discussed, the measures proposed or the work actually done by the International Congress of Women. No group of human beings could have made more earnest and more conscientious efforts to help solve the problems of reconstruction and readjustment incident to the World war than did the women who took part in that congress. A striking and never-to-beforgotten feature was the good feeling existing between the French and German women. The letters exchanged between the women of those two hostile countries showed their breadth of view, their sincerity of purpose and willingness to heal the breach beyond question or doubt.—Tuskegee Student. CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS THE Woman's Searchlight Club met at the home of Mrs. George Ballinger on Thursday afternoon, Sept. 9th. The work of this organization is all manners a success, because good women work in unity. In fact there is no place in women's work for discontented and selfish women. Each woman does her "bit," thereby making this organization the most successful of its kind. Follows an address delivered at the meeting on Sept. 9th by Mrs. DeMarge Toliver, president elected for the club year: "Madam Chairman and Members of the Woman's Searchlight Club: "I am indeed thankful to the good Lord to be spared to meet with you again in the second meeting of this club year. I realize the dignity and intelligence of the women of the Searchlight club. I feel that you have paid me a distinguished honor by electing me your president for this year. The Lord has blessed us and kept us through the past summer with health and we have enjoyed the pleasures of life and prosperity. As we journey together this year, I shall pray that God will smile on you in your homes, your labors and our club work. Carry in your hand the banner of friendship; in your hearts, peace, harmony and good will toward each other. To be a good and true woman, one must be a part and parcel of everything that will help us to lift as we climb to the stars through difficulties in our club work. The success of being your president this year, as in all other years, will depend on your faithfulness and interest in everything we do. It means something to preside over women of your ability and intelligence and it means I shall do my best to reach the standard of those who have served you before as president. I would that I could bring to you again the old lucky thirteen that once constituted the membersLip of the Women's Searchlight Club, the women of education, culture and refinement. It means I must be able to carry out every plan you shall place before me. When the year has closed, let each one of us look with pride on what we have accomplished. Again I ask you to be careful and help each other climb; if at any time things go wrong with you, be careful what you say. Our deportment means much to our standing as citizens. We form a body of colored women who stand for civic pride in our city. Being president of this distinguished body of women, I must be ever ready to stand by you in every undertaking. The successful work of the year will be credited to the team work of this organization. Let harmony, peace and good will prevail and your organization will have a successful year." At a meeting of the Cheyenne Civic Association on Thursday evening, Sept. 9th, the subject for discussion was opened by Rev. C. O. Smith. The subject was "Our President." Rev. Smith was at his best on this eventful evening and paid a high tribute to the Christian character, gentlemanly conduct and racial and civic pride of our president, Mr. H. C. Jefferson. All members present took a part in the discussion. Many truly good things were said of our president, and it was the unity of opinion that successful organizations were those wherein officers were Christian gentlemen. It was further agreed that the civic league was a "booster" organization and not a band of "knockers." Mrs. James Randle entertained a selected party of friends on Thursday evening, Sept. 9th, the event being her birthday. Those who were fortunate to attend declare Mrs. Randle to be an agreeable hostess. Mr. Frank McCombs has returned from Denver.

Mrs. Ida Anderson has moved to 923 West Twenty-seventh street with Mrs. McCormack. WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS Woodland surely has had her share of fires this year! Not counting the many small fires that have occurred in the past eight months. Little over a month ago a warehouse was completely destroyed, which loss was reported to be $50,000. A couple of weeks ago, Woodland's only hotel was destroyed, and the loss reported to be $100,000. A few weeks prior to this, a hotel was destroyed at Dixon, a little town twenty miles from here. The loss was reported to be $80,000. The Second Baptist church enjoyed unusually large congregations last Sunday, at both morning and evening services. A young lady of Yuba City, who was converted here a few Sundays ago, was baptized at the evening service. The church is still undergoing repairs and the pastor, Rev. Muse, says that he hopes to have everything completed and shining by the third Sunday of this month. Mr. and Mrs. Berry of Stockton, Calif., were visitors and dinner guests of Miss J. Gavies, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Earl were the delighted entertainers of Mrs. M. F. Gaither of Esparto and her guest, Mrs. E. Lee of San Francisco, with an auto ride Sunday evening after church service to Esparto. Mrs. T. Reeves and daughter, Anna, and son, Willie, of Stockton, Calif., were here last week visiting with Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Keith. Rev. and Mrs. J. T. Muse were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Earl, Sunday Mr. and Mrs. L. O. Gaither and family of Esparto, who have been visiting in Oakland, San Francisco and other points of California, traveling via auto, have returned and report a lovely trip. BOTH A PROMISE AND A BLESSING. "If I should be, as I fully expect to be, elected president of this just and honorable republic, I will not empower an assistant secretary of the navy to draft a constitution for helpless neighbors in the West Indies and jam it down their throats at the point of bayonets borne by U. S. marines. Nor will I misuse the power of the executive to cover with a veil of secrecy repeated acts of unwarranted interference in domestic affairs of the little republics of the western hemisphere." This to my mind is one most significant as well as most hopeful utterances that has come to the American people and especially to the American Negro since he entered the wilderness of proscription and segregation now nearly eight years ago. Many of us, though appreciating to the full the horrors of mob law and other American enormities, have at the same time had our indignation aroused and our deepest sympathies touched by the tales of injustice and outrage perpetrated upon the governments and persons of our defenseless brothers in the republics of Hayti and San Domingo. This, too, under the specific will and authority of the powerful government of the United States. Those words of Senator Harding, uttered as a just and broad-minded and honorable statesman, carry the conviction of their truth and sincerity and are big, not only with the promise that he will not sanction these disgraceful and arbitrary action, but with the intimation as well that the powerful agencies of the great office of president will be directed towards the redress of their grievances and the protection of their just aspirations to live their life as a self-governing, dependable and progressive people. It would be an insult to believe that any American Negro would be opposed to such a man or to so beneficent a program. FOREIGN Fifteen thousand cholera cases have been reported officially from Korea with 6,000 deaths, in the present epidemic. Armed and masked men attacked four police officers at Tullow, Ireland. Two of the constables were shot dead and another seriously wounded.

COMING EVENTS. Hugo, Colo.—The Lincoln County Fair will be held at Hugo, Sept. 29-30, Oct. 1-2. Nels Melvin Peterson, 12-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Peterson, living near Wild Horse, thirty miles southeast of Hugo, was instantly killed when he was dragged to death by a horse. One of the many innovations and special attractions at the Colorado state fair this year is the Sunday opening on Sept. 19, with a full program of entertainment events and all the exhibits in order. After wandering for two days in the mountains without food and sleeping in the open, Allen Robbins, 15, and Gilbert Russell, 13, both of Loveland, were found on the Fall river road north of Estes Park. Sheriff Trabing of Laramie, Wyo., positively identified the body found near the Ames monument, at Sherman, as that of W. H. Pfleiderer, the Longmont optician, who perished in a storm last April 17. The body was taken to Laramie. A sheepherd discovered the decomposed form lying in a ravine.

Irvin of Colorado Springs, a bellboy at the Broadmoor hotel, was instantly killed near the Hackey sheep ranch, Lincoln county, thirty miles north of Ordway, when his revolver was exploded accidentally in a fall. The bullet pierced his heart. The boy had been to Rocky Ford for the Watermelon Day festivities and was returning here on his motorcycle. His body was not found for an hour, as the road is little used. Mrs. W. L. White and her son, Homer, 8 years old, who were on their way to school at Montrose, were both knocked unconscious by a live wire carrying 2,300 volts. They were rescued by a passing farmer. Young White was walking along with his mother, when he reached to the ground and grabbed a wire which had been thrown across a live wire. The child was knocked unconscious. His mother attempted to pull him away and she also was knocked to the ground. The body of Michael Mellick of Chandler, who was washed from his automobile and drowned in a cloudburst in Chandler, was found in the Arkansas river three miles below Florence by Joseph Orr, a nine-year-old boy, who dragged the body to shore unaided.

In the sidecar was Bruce Morgan, age 20, who was only slightly injured. A common inquiry nowadays is how to treat wheat for the prevention of smut. "Winter wheat that is to be planted this season should be treated for smut prevention," says J. D. Marshall of the Colorado Agricultural College. The formaldehyde solution treatment is the cheapest, safest, cleanest and most easily applied. To make the treatment, the seed should first be run through a fanning mill so as to remove the light weight nutty kernels. The cleaned seed may be treated by one of two common methods—sprinkling and dipping. Joseph Chapman, 26, of Boulder, who was killed in the Interurban collision near Globeville, was a former United States marine, and served in the battles of Belleau wood and Chateau-Thierry. He was wounded twice and badly gassed. He was decorated for bravery. A car of potatoes shipped out of Olathe for every citizen within Olathe is the record that place is boasting of. In 1919 more than 700 cars of potatoes were shipped from there. The shipments for this season will greatly exceed this amount. 3 For the last five or six years a strange disease has appeared among cattle during the summer months, in eastern Colorado. It is reported again this year. Cattle, one after another, in a herd, becomes blind and are unable to eat or drink. There is temporary paralysis of certain nerves which supply the lips, eye balls, and tongue. There is also moderate congestion of the brain but with very little fever. The cause of this condition has not been definitely determined but it is quite generally assumed to be a form of forage poisoning. Artificial feeding and watering will save most of these cases. Water is of most importance THE COLORADO STATESMAN With a numerical increase of 140,325 in the last ten years, the state of Colorado showed a growth since 1910 of only a little more than half of that made in the previous ten years. Denver shows a population of 256,491, an increase of 43,110, or 20.2 per cent. Denver's population was previously announced at 256,369. Boulder is announced as 10,989, showing an increase of 1,450, or 15.2 per cent. The census bureau's announcement gave the state a total of 939,376 inhabitants. Colorado's rate of growth in the last decade was 17.6 per cent, compared with 48 per cent in the previous ten years. The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Demands of bituminous coal miners in two counties of Colorado for a working agreement and pay increases may lead to a strike of more than 3,000 members of the United Mine Workers of America who have voted to file notice with the State Industrial Commission and John McLennan, district president of the union, that they would stop work at the end of thirty days unless an agreement is reached on their demands. Ray Kallas fell beneath a string of loaded coal cars in the Gorham mine at Gorham and was so badly injured that he died before he could be removed to the surface of the mine. Kallas had just whipped up his mules with the intention of uncoupling the cars and switching part of the train to another track. The trucks of the first car passed over his body. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. A. H. Anderson, a University of Colorado student, had a narrow escape from death when the horse he was riding ran in front of a Boulder street cah. The horse was instantly killed. Mr. Anderson was thrown on the fender of the car and escaped with but a few bruises. Frank Bertorello of Uncompahgre lost two fingers in a machine at a Montrose garage; Edward Schmidt cut his hand badly with a sickle, and George Miller, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Miller, broke an arm—the most accidents that town has experienced in such a short time for months. Six persons were injured at Colorado Springs when a tourist car, driven by William Irvine of Colorado Springs, turned over twice at the Narrows, on the Pike's Peak automobile highway, after a trip to the summit. THE COLORADO STATESMAN Seven miles of concrete highway between Denver and Arvada have been approved by the local office of the United States Bureau of Public Roads and will be submitted to Washington for final action. The Sedalia copper mine north of Salida a few miles is to be reopened soon and operated indefinitely. A force of men has been busy getting the property in operating condition for some time. Bert Hughes, who was thrown fifty feet when his motorcycle broke on the quarter stretch in a race at the Logan county fair, is dead. His jaw and skull were fractured. No inquest was held. Sept. 29 and 30 and Oct. 1 and 2 have been fixed as the dates for the Lincoln county annual fair at Hugo. Plans are under way to make this the largest and best ever held in that county. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. With an enrollment of more than 500, the largest total in the history of the institution, the Colorado School of Mines opened for the 1920-21 year at Golden. Two armed men held up and robbed the crews of Colfax avenue car and trailer of more than $100 as the train backed into the switch preparatory to turning around at Colfax avenue and Birch street in Denver. The robbers, who are said to have been mere youths, then ran to Fourteenth avenue and Birch street, where they entered a large touring car and started toward the city at a high rate of speed. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. The 1920 crop of wild raspberries proved to be a bumper one and the service berries and choke cherries have added a great deal to the larders of Ouray folk. The high price of sugar is not so keenly felt when the berries are free for the picking, and many have put up a great deal of preserves, jams and jells this summer, drawing upon nature's supply of wild berries almost exclusively. The people of the new Consolidated Bear Creek Valley School District have voted a bond issue of $80,000 for the erection of a modern school building at Midway. The district consists of Midway, Montana and Lakeview. Work on the new building will begin probably within the next month. TWODOLLARSAYEAR THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE The new Windsor consolidated district in Weld county has decided to take a step toward the solution of the housing problem in providing accommodations for school teachers that is unique in the state and perhaps in the entire West. The school board has decided to build a $35,000 home to accommodate thirty-two teachers. Leadville's once famous gambling row in State street was destroyed by fire following an explosion of an alleged moonshine still in a room above the Arcade Pastime Club. The damage is estimated at about $20,000.

WARSAW: THE PARIS OF POLAND No other people, in all the world's history, has borne oppression so bravely and gloriously as the Poles, except the Jews; and Warsaw, where the "Russians had to keep a garrison of 200,000 troops to overwea a city of 900,000 people," is to Poland what Paris is to France. Indeed the vivacity, the gayety and the quick wit of Warsaw's people are a constant reminder of Paris; as well as those deeper likenesses which spring from Warsaw's ascendancy in the letters, the arts and the social graces. All this, too, in a city where the most gruesome tragedies have stalked. As recently as the years of our own Civil war the Russian army moved down thousands of men and women as they knelt in the snow, singing their national anthem. Deportations are an old story in Warsaw, every effort at nationalization was followed by slaughter, and hundreds marched the long trail to Siberian exile. But Poland's spirit meanwhile, became a synonym for the indomitable. The success of the Russification of Poland has been described as the process of keeping 12,000,000 Poles pinned to Russia by bayonets. Politically nonexistent, for even Poland's name was expunged from all official Russian records, the pre-war Warsaw vied with world capitals in science, particularly medicine, in manufacturing, in trade and in literature. Though Warsaw betrayed none of the grimness characteristic of Russian cities, reminders of her by-gone glories and tragedies were to be found even before the World war restored her autocracy. In the Lazienki gardens is a monument to John Sobieski, who stemmed the advance of the Turks in Europe, a figure as picturesque as Paderewski who now sees his land a barrier to bolshevism's westward spread. It was in 1683 that a Turkish force had thrown itself in crescent formation around Vienna. The encampment was no less threatening because it resembled a circus rather than a siege, with its herds of camels, and luxurious tents with baths and parrots within and fountains without. Mighty events often hinge on slender circumstances. Sobieski hesitated because Leopold, Austria's emperor, first declined to address him as "Your Majesty." But Sobieski's hesitation is said to have vanished when he learned that the French ambassador had written to Louis XIV., who rather hoped for the worst for Austria. "Don't trouble yourself, Sobieski is too fat to sit on a horse and fight." The "fat man" rode his charger into the thick of the fight, helping hew his way to where the Turkish grand vizier stood, and after the battle handed one of that dignitary's stirrups to an aide, with the command, "Take it to the queen and tell her that he to whom it belonged is defeated and slain." HOW ANTS CAN HINDER AIRPLANES Ants have assumed a new role in Africa—that of enemies of aviation. Reports from surveyors of the proposed air route from Rhodesia to Capetown say that ant hills have interfered seriously with the placing of aerodromes. To understand this phenomenon one must understand how ubiquitous is the ant in South Africa, writes William Morton Wheeler to the National Geographic society. He continues: "Ants are to be found everywhere, from the arctic regions to the tropics, from timber line on the loftiest mountains to the shifting sands of the dunes and seashores, and from the dampest forests to the driest deserts. Not only do they outnumber in individuals all other terrestrial animals, but their colonies even in very circumscribed localities often defy enumeration. "One subfamily of the ants, the Dorylinae, embracing the wonderful driver ants of Africa and the legionary ants of the American tropics, are highly carnivorous, but nevertheless succeed in forming immense colonies, often of hundreds of thousands of individuals. This they accomplish by reinquishing the sedentary habits so characteristic of the great majority of ants. They keep moving in long flies through the jungles, capturing or killing all the insects they encounter, and even overrunning dwellings, and, in their search for cockroaches and other vermin, driving out the human inhabitants. "From time to time these strange ants bivouac for the night or for a few days in some hole in the ground, or under a tree, but soon continue their predatory march. Evidently they are able to remain carnivorous, and at the same time to develop large colonies, only because they are nomadic and can thus draw their food supply from a large area. "Certain individuals, the 'repletes' of the colony refrain from leaving the nest and foraging for food and become converted into flagons by distending the crop to such enormous dimensions that the abdomen looks like a transparent bead. In this condition they hang by their claws from the roof of the nest chamber and thenceforth spend all their lives receiving liquid food from the tongues of the foraging ants, storing it in their crops and regurgitating it to hungry individuals when the liquid food supply outside the nest becomes inadequate. "This is, of course, apt to be the case periodically in dry regions, so that we find the true honey ants only in deserts like those of the southwestern states, northern Mexico, South Africa and central Australia." TACNA AND ARICA: SIA-MESE TWINS OF GEOGRAPHY Tacna and Arica! The words are fast becoming as inseparable as the Gold Dust Twins, the Dolly Sisters, or Mutt and Jeff. The regions form a territorial bone of contention among Chile, Peru and Bolivia. The province of Tacna, composed of the department of Tacna and Arica, is shown on maps made in Chile as the northernmost province of that country, and on maps made in Peru as the southernmost province of Peru, bordered on the north by the Rio Sama and on the east by Bolivia. Its broad uplands are rich in nitrate, and on the Bay of Arica, at the terminus of one railroad leading to La Paz and the interior of Bolivia, and of another running to ports to the south, the delightful city of Arica is situated, giving the possessor of the territory a great advantage in South American affairs from both political and commercial standpoints. Here is ample reason why these two South American republics want it, and why Bolivia hopes that, in the adjustment, she will have an outlet to the sea accorded her. The trouble over this region arose originally from the fact that, in the days of the early Spanish settlers, the country was so vast that a few hundred square miles more or less made no difference in the affairs of the colony, and when the colonies organized themselves into republics they still were too busy with their internal problems to bother about where their boundaries began and where they ended. This condition was true not only of Peru, Chile and Bolivia, but of most of the other South American republics, as indicated by the numerous boundary questions which have been in dispute during the last decade. So matters drifted until the middle of the nineteenth century, when guano and nitrate were discovered in this formerly ignored region. The guano alone was then hastily estimated as worth $20,000,000, not to mention the nitrate. What friends could be expected to remain friendly with such a mountain of dollars between them? Since that time the Peru-Chile-Bolivia story has been one of controversies, treaties, counter-charges and plebiscites never taken. THE MAIL MAN: COURIER OF CIVILIZATION Did it ever occur to you that your city letter carrier, your village postmaster or your rural route carrier has a past? He is the agent by which the long arm of Uncle Sam taps your shoulder one, two, maybe three times a day, yet he is so unobtrusive that you probably do not know him half so well as most other agents of your government, the school teacher or the policeman, for example. But he not only is an essential, but a historic figure. The history of the postal service and its employees extends to the days of the Romans when the earliest known means of transmitting a message was by carrier. These admirable organizers, the Romans, marked by a "post" the place in the road where the relay of one runner by another was effected; thus they named our system long before it was born. The first letter post seems to have existed in the Hanse towns in the thirteenth century in order to facilitate relations between the merchants of the various members of the Hanseatic League. The British post office had its beginning in the sixteenth century, and our own colonial methods of handling mail were inherited from our British forefathers. Long before the people had any means of exchanging either personal or official letters, the king had established a system of conveying his personal messages and official documents by royal messengers. In the reign of King John that petulant monarch paid out a large sum for a postal service and charged it to the household and wardrobe accounts. Messengers who were thus entrusted with matters of state had to be above suspicion. They went the whole distance and were paid according to the length and danger of their journeys. In 1638 New England proposed to the British sovereign that a postoffice system be established in the colonies, as it was "so useful and absolutely necessary." His majesty paid no attention to the plea, but Richard Fairbanks, in the same year, set up an office in Boston to receive letters from ships. He undertook to deliver the letters received and charged a penny for each letter. He also received mail for out-going ships, but no one was forced to send mail through his office. A thrilling story of the devotion of mail men to their duties is that of the pony express, the first rapid transit mail line across the 1,966 miles of prairie, desert, snow-capped mountain peaks, and alkali wastes between the Missouri river and the Pacific coast. It was inaugurated early in 1860 in order that the West might be kept more closely in touch with the North in view of the trouble brewing from the slavery question, and, though it had an existence of only sixteen months, it made the East and West only ten days apart at a time of crisis. The date of starting was to be March 26, 1860, and Forts Kearney, Laramie, Bridger, Great Salt Lake City, Camp Floyd, Carson City, the Washoe Silver mines, Placerville and Sacramento were to be the points of delivery of mail. In St. Joseph, Mo. eager and excited crowds gathered in the streets to see the first courier, the wiry, twenty-year-old Johnnie Frey, as he dashed away on his jet black steed for the first lap of the race of flesh, blood and determination against the desolate spaces of an unpeopled country. These riders were clad in buckskin shirts, ordinary trousers, high boots and soft slouch hats, and were armed with sheath knives, Colt's revolvers and Spencer carbines. The best time they made across the trackless waste was in carrying President Lincoln's inaugural speech to San Francisco—seven days and seventeen hours. ADRIANOPLE: A WEATHER VANE OF EMPIRES Entry of Greek troops into Adrianople is an event in secular history fairly comparable to the investiture of Jerusalem by Allenby's army, for this Turkish city has for nearly 2,000 years been a weathervane of world politics. The rebuilding of the ancient Thracian town of Hadrian, who gave it his name, signalized a high point in the power of the Roman empire. The decline of Rome was foreshadowed some two centuries later when the Goths defeated Valens there and made their first break through the Roman frontier. Next Adrianople was the setting for the Turk's advent into Europe. There Murad I. established himself, planned the capture of Constantinople, and sent out expeditions to subdue various Christian peoples. For a time the European capital of the sultans, Adrianople was relegated to be the chief bulwark of Constantinople. There Turk first met Slav, and there the Russians finally forced their way to the Black sea by a treaty which also loosened the Turkish hold on the Caucasus and compelled recognition of the independence of Greece. Adrianople is on the Maritza—Hebrus of Grecian legend, where Orpheus was dismembered by the Thracian women; also celebrated, under its later name, in Bulgarian song and story. It is 137 miles by rail northwest of Constantinople. Today the city wears its past glory with a sort of shabby gentility, with no pretension of prosperity but less squalor than the usual Turkish city. It possesses the grave of the first Murad, or Amurath, who was assassinated in his tent after he had vanquished an army of Christian allies on the field of Kossovo. A mosque bearing the name of Sultan Balezid recalls that monarch, whose first official act was to order the execution of his brother, who was first Ottoman ruler to call himself sultan and whose conquests finally were checked when he was taken prisoner by Tamerlane. But the architectural masterpiece of Adrianople is the Sellmleh, product of a Greek tribute-boy's genius, and relic of the reign of Sellm II, the Louis XV of Turkey. Yearly the Turks would seize a certain number of sons of their Christian subjects, and in Sinan they found they had acquired a skilled bridge builder. They allowed him to follow his bent, and the Shahzadeh at Constantinople, the Suleiman at Stamboul and the third famed mosque at Adrianople were given to posterity. The Selimieh stands upon the highest hill in Adrianople and four lofty minarets tower far above a massive dome. STEEL AFFECTED BY FIRE Figures Gathered by the United States Bureau of Standards Reveal Stability of Structure. Some interesting figures relating to the behavior of structural steel at the high temperature of ordinary fires have been given by the United States bureau of standards. Naturally, the strength of steel at high temperatures has a very important bearing upon the stability of a structure which may be subjected to fire. Without any protective covering, steel columns fall after only 10 or 15 minutes of exposure to temperatures such as are reached in ordinary fires. Resistance can be greatly increased by the use of coverings of brick, concrete, plaster, tile, etc., to such an extent that columns so protected are unaffected after several hours' exposure to intense heat, says the New York Evening Post. Tests have been made to determine the compression strength of specimens of structural steel when heated in an electric furnace to temperatures corresponding to dull red heat (1,100 degrees Fahrenheit) and loaded up to 20,000 pounds per square inch. It was found that structural steel loaded to 10,000 pounds per square inch falls at about 1,075 degrees Fahrenheit, and under a load of 20,000 pounds per square inch failure occurs at 925 degrees Fahrenheit. For practical considerations, however, the limit of utility may be regarded as reached at temperatures of about 130 degrees Fahrenheit below those given above BOMB WRECKS MORGAN & CO. PROPERTY DAMAGE ESTIMATED IN EXCESS OF $1,000,000 TO BOND BANK. 31 PEOPLE ARE KILLED 31 PEOPLE ARE KILLED MORE THAN 200 INJURED IN EX PLOSION THAT ROCKED WALL STREET, NEW YORK. New York, Sept. 17.—A mysterious explosion in Wall street, near Broad, believed by trained Department of Justice and police investigators to have been caused by an infernal machine, rocked the heart of New York's financial district, leaving death and destruction in its wake. At least thirty-one persons were killed, more than 200 were injured, the banking house of J. P. Morgan and Company, the subtreasury and the assay office were partially wrecked and property damage estimated in excess of $1,000,000 was caused. The noon hour had struck and an endless stream of office workers had just started pouring into the streets from buildings in the neighborhood. Suddenly a cloud of yellowish, black smoke and a piercing jet of flame leaped from the street outside. the Morgan office. Then came a deafening blast. A moment later scores of men, women and children were lying prostrate on the ground and the streets were covered with debris from thousands of broken windows and the torn facade of adjacent buildings. Two minutes later the stock and curb exchanges, the financial pulse of the world, had closed. Panic and confusion reigned in the heart of New York's financial district. Thousands of clerks and stenographers fled in terror from adjoining structures. Scores falted, fell and were trampled on in the rush. Meanwhile, the noise of the explosion, which was heard throughout lower Manhattan and across the river in Brooklyn, brought thousands of the curious to the scene. The few police on duty in the district were unable to cope with the crowds and a hurry call for police reserves was sent to all downtown police stations. Subtreasury officials, fearing that an attempt might be made to rob the building, all the windows of which were broken, requested assistance of the military authorities at Governor's Island and a company of soldiers was sent to guard the institution. Hurry calls were also sent to all hospitals in the downtown section of New York and scores of ambulances were soon speeding through the narrow streets. Dressing stations were established in the lobbies of buildings nearby, where the less seriously injured were given treatment. Evidence tending to confirm the theory that the explosion was caused by a bomb or some other infernal machine came from several sources. Chief Police Inspector Lahey reported that he had found evidence to justify the conclusion that the explosion was caused by a huge bomb loaded with T. N. T. (trinitrotoluol), reinforced with iron slugs fashioned from window weight bars. Robbers Get $11,000. Sloux City, Iowa.—Robbers dynamited the Pierce bank of Linn Grove, Iowa, 100 miles northeast of here, and stole $10,000 in United States bonds and $1,000 in cash. The bandits escaped in a motor car. Urge Miners to Work. Hazleton, Pa.—Claiming the present situation in the anthracite coal region is the result of the "unwise action of a few unthinking men," the policy committee of the United Mine Workers of the hard coal fields issued a proclamation advising and recommending that "all loyal union men return to their work and vindicate the faithfulness to contracts and the justice of our cause." Bandits Get $7,000. Omaha, Neb. — Two armed and masked bandits held, up and robbed about twenty men who were gambling in a private apartment here, escaping with about $7,000, according to a report reaching the police. The report, however, was not made by any of the holdup men's victims, it was said. Japan to Relieve Silk Industry. Tokio.—The government has decided to come to the relief of the silk industry. It will loan the silk syndicate 40,000,000 yen, with an additional 15,000,000 yen through the bank of Japan. The object is to keep up the price of silk and control exports. Gold Production Dwindles. Washington.—A joint report by the mint and Geological Survey fixes the total American production of gold during the calendar year 1919 at 2,918,628 fine ounces, valued at $60,333,400; silver, 56,682,445 fine ounces, valued at $63,533,652, taken at the average New York price of $1,12087 per ounce. This represented a reduction of $8,313,300 in gold and $11,127,694 in silver from the 1918 output of the mines, the report said, California led with an output valued at $17,308,200. TEETH'S BIG FOE Pyorrhea Responsible for Impense Amount of Suffering. Infection of the Gums Which Frequently Is Not Suspected Until Much Harm Has Been Done—How to Recognize It. (Supplied by the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D. C.) Pyorrhea is an infection of the gums or tooth-sockets. It begins beneath the edges of the gums that have been injured and especially where there has been an accumulation of tartar or lime-deposit. As the infection progresses and destroys the membranes that attach the root of the tooth to the socket, a pocket is formed around the root and the tooth becomes loosened. It is said that this disease is responsible for far more loss of teeth than is decay. But this is not the only evil. In the pocket pus is continually being formed and discharged into the mouth and swallowed. Also, as the teeth rise and fall in their diseased sockets in ordinary chewing, bacteria are forced into the circulation and may be carried to distant parts, where they work harm according to their nature, selecting tissues for their operation in which they can best thrive. It was formerly supposed that the ill effects from such conditions as dental abscess and other pus foci were wholly due to the toxins or poisonous products thrown into the blood-stream by the bacteria at the focus. It is now known, however, that the bacteria migrate into outside tissues through the blood and lymph-streams. In joint affections they clog and obstruct the small blood-vessels, interfering with the nutrition of the joint-tissues, causing deformity and enlargement, as in arthritis deformans, as well as in acute inflammation, such as rheumatic fever. Indeed, this condition of subinfection, or "focal infection," is coming to be recognized as a far more important cause of disease than the time-honored autointoxication, a term which has been greatly abused and misused. Wanted an Audience During my vacation I started in a canoe one afternoon on a four-mile trip across the lake. There had been a hard storm the night before, and the lake was quite rough. The wind carried me out of my course, the canoe dipped water with every roller, and I was soaked and terrified. When I reached the opposite side I decided that I would never go back until something more substantial should come along and pick me up. An hour later one of the finest speed boats on the lake docked at the wharf. I boldly asked the pilot to take me back to the hotel. On the return trip I entertained him with a gay line of chatter, and as we came near the hotel I noticed that there were very few guests out, and asked him if he would mind going on a little further, coming back when there was more of an audience to appreciate my impressive home coming. When I finally did get out of his boat I offered him the 40 cents, which is the usual fee for hired boat service on the lake. The most embarrassing moment of my life came when the guests excitedly informed me that I had been riding with one of the most important and dignified political figures of the day, who had a summer estate nearby.—Exchange. Vacuum Best Known Insulator. In answer to a question, the Scientific American says: "A vacuum is the best insulator against heat which is attainable. A perfect vacuum would be a complete insulator and would retain or exclude heat indefinitely. The common thermos bottle is an example of the use of a vacuum for keeping liquids either hot or cold. Heat is retained in hot liquids and kept out of cold liquids. However, there is a difference between heat from a white hot body like the sun or an electric lamp and heat from a liquid or solid such as may be contained in a thermos bottle. The intense heat from a white* hot body will pass easily through the best vacuum man can make, as witness the heat given off by an incandescent lamp bulb, which will char and set paper on fire. A vacuum will restrain heat of low intensity, but not heat of high intensity." Krupps May Build Plant in Spain. Spain is one of the great iron-ore centers of the world, shipping ore heavily to other European countries as well as to the United States, and while it has some large iron and steel works, its output of the finished product has never been commensurate with its ore developments. Now, however, according to the London letter of the Whaley Eaton Service, there is a well-defined project of the Krupps to set up a great branch at Bilboa. Spain, to manufacture agricultural machinery for the purpose of driving out of the market American companies who now have a large share of the business. Manufacturers' Record.

HE COLORADO STATESMAN takes much pleasure in offering its congratulations to the successful candidates in the primary election of the state of Colorado and the county of Denver and other counties of the state. We, in our political faith of over half a century, do all in our power to maintain and strengthen party ties, as we have always con- tended that, being a political government, partisan politics must have sway. It is, therefore, with more than ordinary pleasure we congratulate you and trust this is the beginning of a glorious end at the November election, when Republican administration will restore full and free CON- STITUTIONAL LIBERTY TO ALL CITIZENS. PUBLIC OPINION. HE greatest force in the affairs of a nation, or of a people, is that "T intanty lever, public opinion. If public opinion is with you, the seem- ingly impossibilities that block our progress are easily and silently re- moved and we go on our way smiling. But let public opinion be against you, then the way is barred and you can do but little. What we desire now is to get on the favorable side of public opinion, and we can then attain the heights that our ambition calls for. It is public opinion that makes, to a large degree, success in many ways; that without it we would never get anywhere. Take, for instance, the recent serious street car strike that we had. It was public opinion against the strike, more than anything, that actually broke the strike. If public opinion in England today favored home rule for Ireland, it would not be many days before that struggling nation would be given her independence. It was the public opinion of the world that did as much in defeating Germany in the late world conflict as anything else. ‘Then what the Negro needs, in order to overcome the many obstacles that barr his progress, is to get public opinion on his side. And to get, public opinion with us we must begin an active and impressive propa* ganda, not against the dominant race, but against the evils of our own race. ‘We must win by showing that we deserve to win because of our loyalty to country and home; because of our honesty and industry; because of our integrity and self respect, The laws of our land are upheld because they are backed by public opinion. Obnoxious laws are repealed and thrown in the scrap heap because they are contrary to public opinion. The suc- cess or defeat of national parties is due to public opinion. What is true, of parties in that respect is also true of individuals. If public opinion is for a man, he will be elected to high office, but if it is against him, his doon: is sealed. No man can well run counter to public opinion. If we can but arouse the public opinion of the nation against lynching, Jim- Crowism and segregation, our troubles will soon end. It is public opinion | that closes the+door of hope against us. Instead of congregating and bewailing the wrongs against us, let us try organizing an effective propa- ganda in the effort to capture public opinion in our behalf. We have been striving for many years for favorable public opinion and in many instances we have driven it away because of our actions and our intemperate speech at times. Had public opinion decreed that a col- ored man should be represented in the Colorado Assembly this year, no doubt but that we would have been so represented. ‘The sooner we learn that public opinion is the controlling factor in the recognition and upbuilding of the race, the sooner we will overcome the difficulties that surround us on every hand at the present moment. PRIMARY ELECTION LAST TUESDAY GIVES US | LESSONS. HE primary election of a few days ago has given the citizens of Den- Tee some special lessons which they will not easily forget. Among others, the principal ones are as follows: That LAW and ORDER must prevail if this is to be a community for decent persons to live in and the protection of life and property insured; that a certain element of labor is determined to force a political issue in the government of this state whether it be advantageous to the general labor organization or not; that backers or supporters of candidates for offices must not indulge in calumny with respect to opposing candidates, as it invariably results in sympathy being given them, and, finally, this all-important lesson to colored electors, that however much our friends of the other side would appreciate and advise, encourage us and actually promise to stand by us if we stand by them, yet any time we can be induced to divide and sub-divide our ranks we will never succeed in securing the necessary help to put us over the top. : With the nomination of Judge Greeley Whitford for judge of the Supreme Court, the indorsement of Victor E. Keyes for attorney general, George A. Luxford for county judge, and Phillip S. Van Cise for district attorney, the proof is clearly given that the people of Colorado are de- termined to put a stop for this and all time to the powers that delight in besmirching the good name of Colorado and exposing our state to the criticism and apprehension from those who would invest in our industries and also become permanent citizens of this steadily advancing country of the west. Republicans (and we welcome others who are with us in the extermination of lawlessness from the nation) must here resolve to carry this support to the finals in November, clinching our success with an over- whelming victory that will remove all impediments in the way of Repub- lican administration in city, state and nation, ‘Then labor, with its great and powerful organizations, must not allow itself to be misguided by leaders whose purposes are bent on disintegra- tion, as refusal to arbitrate and an acceptance of an element with a tendency to dominate must be ruinous In the end. Labor has its sympa~ thizers, and sane, sober, judicious actions on its part will create an ad- miration and win for it a profound respect; but as its organizations from time to time gain such respect and add to their strength numerically, which means greater political representation, so must they, in turn, use their influence to eradicate from their midst that lawless ‘element bent upon destruction of the fundamental principles of good government, and who to survive means the return of a world calamity greater than our recent experience. Labor, then, we are fully confident, will play its part faithfully and well in securing an administration that will adjust matters satisfactorily to all the people and restore the nation to an equilibrium— the enjoyment of which will be shared by all. AND THIS CAN ONLY BE ASSURED US THROUGH THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. ‘The lesson dearly bought by us and which we will continue to pay for at the highest prices if we refuse to profit by the experiences of “dark past,” “present deception”—terms we take the liberty to use as we come face to face with facts which presented themselves conspicuously at the’ “yecent primary.’ ‘Three colored candidates endorsed by the Republican | Assembly for state representatives. ‘Thirty-seven whites also endorsed. | "Number of candidates to be nominated, twelve, On the stump, white can- didates played the usual game. ‘Throw your strength to us (meaning the body of colored electors) and we will do the same to you” was the ex- | pression uttered in the meetings, in the canvassing, the button-holing pro- cess and every way possible. WE DID. DID THEY? With much em- | phasis we say “NO!” Negroes supported both Nicholson and Schuyler, can-— didates for U. 8. senator, Al] the state and county candidates now nomi-— nated were supported by our people in the majority, and with the final re- | turns, giving us Mary E, Holmes, 5,422; Lawrence H. Lightner, 6,321, and | E. P. Blakemore, 2,974, polling a total of 13,717 votes, we could not nominate a colored representative from these three, as they came in the eighteenth, nineteenth and thirty-eighth places on the list and only twelve were required. Now does this look like our “gracious benefactors” car- ried out their side of the agreement? We are conscious of the fact that & few white electors voted for one of the three, or, to be generous, the three, but is it not clear that we did not get the support to carry us over and give us what we are entitled to by THEIR BOND OF AGREEMENT? Why not throw their strength to Holmes or Lightner, as they were up in the 5,000, and 2,000 more could have secured us @ nomination, as the two white candidates in the eleventh and twelfth places only received 6,925 and 6,650 respectively? “But this is not a problem and we must take a portion of the blame in this manner,” said an elector who although he supported one of the three, was anxious that if his candidate did not succeed he would be as happy if any of the other two succeeded. HE WAS VERY MUCH DISSATISFIED, and, from the general expression, telephone messages pouring into our office since Wednesday up to the time of going to press, we are in a position to say that GREAT DISSAT- ISFACTION PREVAILS among the thousands of coiored voters who were specially interested in the primary election. WE ARE REPUBLICANS. Negroes have paid the debt that we were continuously being told we owe the party, Now, if we are equally obligated to one another, let us have a share in the government of ourselves—the right provided by our constitu- tion—and while we cannot make it imperative that you support our cause, we will insist on treatment as a people possessing integrity, as a people who have the soul of honor as anybody else, as a people who have enough intelligence to understand and to feel what non-fulfillment of a contract means to the other party after the one has faithfully and consistently dis- charged his part, The COLORADO STATESMAN, in voicing the expres- sion of the Colored Voters of Denver and Colorado, asserts that we feel this result deeply and contrasting the action of our white fel- low-electors in Denver and Colorado with the action of the white electors of Ohio, who manfully kept their promise and, throwing their support to the colored electors, nominated Harry G. Smith, colored, for secretary of state with over 68,000, a greater number than that polled by the candi- date for U. S. senator of that state at their primary. We have reason to hope that some day the spirit that moves in Ohio may move in Colorado when we elect a REPUBLICAN FROM OHIO in the highly honored person of SENATOR WARREN G. HARDING, who, from personal experience and continuous keeping in touch with the mass of Negro citizens in this state, whereby he credits us with qualities meriting representation through our own, as other races through their's, we may unite our forces here in Den- ver for the gommon interest of ourselves, not enjoying in any contract but that which serves us to our advaftage, when we will, by such united efforts, command a following that will win for us the recognition that we merit in bearing our portion of the nation’s load. “Which of you, if your brethren ask for bread, will ye give him a stone?" asks the good book. Fellow colored electors, it is high time that we MAKE OUR OWN BREAD. Baltic Sea Leads in Amber.

Women Now Becoming Emancipated by Leaps Like Those of a Kangaroo. By AGNES EGERTON CASTLE, British Novelist. A startling new gospel is being preached nowadays in England, « gospel far from the message of the Sermon on the Mount; one pared down, if not entirely composed, to fit the modern frantic desire for enjoyment at all cost. Everything that is irksome, everything that entails self-sacrifice, or is even binding within what used to be considered the best limits of exist- ence—home and its affections—is to be cast aside. It is interesting to watch the trend of the modern fiction, in jour- nalism, and on the platform. The code of law once regarded a8 paramount by Christian and Jew alike, the ten commandments, is now derided as hideously out of date. ; ‘The modern woman, cries an enthusiastic preacher of the new doc- trines, will more and more abandon the savage instinct which leads her to cling to the nurture of her infant; she will perceive the immense ad~ vantage which must accrue to herself and the whole sex when children are reared, not as individuals, but as citizens, in state establishments and she is from the first relieved of all the irksome duties connected with their upbringing. ‘The state, the orator goes on to say, will have beautiful in- stiutions where everything will be done for the child from the point of view of its citizenship far better than the mother could do it, in a manner which it will be extreiiely gratifying to her to contemplate. At the same time she will be free for self-cultivation and the glorious opportunities open to her in the new revelation. Women are undoubtedly becoming emancipated by leaps as grotesque: as those of a kangaroo, but there must be some still so chained to the sav- age instincts of the past that they actually prefer to nurse and care for their own children ; who might resent being deprived of their infants after taking the trouble to bring them into the world. Ragtime and Jazz, When Vulgarized, a Menace to Young America. By MRS. A. FAULKNER OBENDORFER, Reform Crusade Leader. I have worked for twenty years on the theory that sazz and ragtime, in ‘its original form, would be the basis of the future American school. But that is no reason why I can not see that ragtime and jazz, when vul- garized, are an actual menace to the life, morals and education of young America today. When one knows that in one of Chicago's biggest and best high schools the students bought two thousand popular songs in two weeks, and that the committee of students appointed by the school found only forty which they considered fit for boys and girls to sing together, don't you really think something should happen to awaken American parents to their responsibilities? In a middle-western city where I had been giving talks in which T attacked the evil popular songs I said to the manager of a music shoo that I hoped I had not hurt her business. She replied: “If I could help you in this campaign I’d give up everything else in the world to do it.” She told me that seventy-five per cent of her customers were high-school boys and girls who bought nothing but this trash, and she said that they blushed when they asked for it. “T Send My Mind Out to a Tailor to Be Pressed Every Morning.” || By LYNN HAROLD HOUGH, Retiring Pres’t Northwestern Univers'y. “I send my mind out to a tailor to be pressed every morning,” said a whimsical man whose speech has no end of odd and interesting turns. “How do you do it?” asked his friend. ‘The man of whimsical speech dropped his figure. “T read bright and beautiful things quite away from my own field,” was the reply. “I read poetry which has a gay rhythm and paints pit- tures all full of soft sunshine. I read essays pungent with keen epigrams and well turned phrases. 1 read books where men have poured their sou!s into words and drink strength from the robust old speech. It only takes a little while each morning, but I bring a new mind to the work of the day.” You have to trke care of an automobile, Some men do not know that you have to’ take care of your mind. s ry: oN ow * CHLURONIC GROVUTIDS Hendrix. po.

The mother of a dead soldier whose grave had never been located recently was told by one of these parasites that he would visit Washington, if she paid his expenses, and find out at first-hand what could be done. Later, the impostor reported success and advised the bereaved family that the body would be sent home. A brother became suspicious and by a personal call at the war department learned that no inquiry ever had been made. Another woman, whose son had not been heard from since he was reported wounded while fighting in the Argonne, received a letter signed with her son's name, asking her to send him money. She made a trip to Cleveland, O., only to find that the letter was a honex. Later, she received a telegram signed with her son's name and notified the police in the town from which the message had been sent. The man who had attempted to defraud her was arrested. At the instigation of the Legion, police of a California city are on the trail of a man said to have made a practice of corresponding with the next of kin of deceased soldiers with a view to defrauding them. He wrote a letter purporting to give first-hand information concerning the death of one of these missing soldiers, whereas investigation showed that the writer of the letter had never been outside the United States during the war. Lemuel Bolles, Legion national adjutant, has urged all posts and departments to assist in warning relatives of missing heroes against paying any money for information or service of this nature, as both the Legion and the war department are willing to provide all available authentic information at all times without charge. “40 MEN AND EIGHT HORSES” Organization Within Organization Attracting Large Membership From Men Who Served in France. Formed as an organization within an organization, Le Societe des 40 Hommes et 8 Chevaux of The American Legion is attracting a heavy membership from the ranks of those veterans who recall the days and nights of rolling by box car over the rails of France. Charters for local volunteers are being issued by the Chef de Chemin de Fer at Philadelphia, and a distinctive chapeau with a bronze badge has been adopted. Much mystery enshrounds the doings of Le Societe, which possesses a ritual all its own and demands an initiation fee of $2. Only members of the Legion are eligible to belong to the society and termination of membership in the Legion brings with it elimination from 40 Hommes. Almost 1,000 members of the new society, it is expected, will be in Cleveland during the Legion convention September 27. 28. 29. at which time they will effect a permanent organization. Large National Reading Class of 13,000 Large National Reading Class of 13,000 WASHINGTON.—The home educational division of the department of the interior has undertaken the task of supplying Uncle Sam's scattered family circle with proper reading courses. This work was started about six years ago under the direction of the bureau of education, and today the big national reading class numbers 13,000. Not only is this circulating library information distributed in United States territory, but readers are studying one or more of the twenty-two courses in ar away India, China, Philippine slands, Porto Rico, France and Canada. Particularly is the reading course 'or boys of great value, for any boy may before he is twenty years old, even without the advantage of schools, be- "Times Change; We Change With Them" CHAMP CLARK, when a small boy, worked for a farmer down in Kentucky who had a disposition like a battlesnake. The man used to beat Champ on slight provocation, and as he latter did not stand six-feet-two ior weigh 240 pounds there was nothing for him to do but take the beatings—and bide his time. As he saw himself developing into turdy young manhood, Champ watched his muscles waxing strong with much gleeful satisfaction. He purposed to hunt up that farmer who had abused him and deal him out a little retributive justice. His idea was to give him a thrashing that would not only even up all scores to date, but that would linger long in the man's memory as one of the noteworthy events of his life. It was ten years before Champ Clark determined that conditions were right for going back to that farm and creating a red-letter day for his former employer. And these ten years didn't softened his feelings toward the man who had trounced him when he was a small youngster. Champ had a good memory. Well, anyway, Champ knocked off from his schoolteaching job one evening and set out on a day's journey to find the man he had been waiting "Own Your Own Half-After-Six Clothes" WHEN Represenative Albert Johnson of Washington entered congress he brought with him a dress suit all his own. What of it? Well, stop, look listen! Years ago Representative Johnson was a police reporter on a Washington (D. C.) morning newspaper. He decided to buy a claw-hammer suit. Johnson had a room-mate, Smith, who also had spike-tail ambitions. He forthwith had an inspiration. He proposed that they go fifty-fifty on cost and wear. Johnson agreed. Johnson made the acquaintance of Mrs. Stewart, wife of the senator from Nevada. She had a big, formal reception and asked Johnson's city editor to send him to write it up. Thus it befall that Johnson got a chance to try out the co-operative "Legal Right to Remain in Ignorance" THE legal right to remain in ignorance is annually granted to thousands of children in states where child labor and education laws are backward, is the information furnished by the children's bureau of the department of labor. According to an account of the administration of the federal child labor law soon to be published by the bureau, only 783 children out of 19,696 to whom working certificates were issued, or less than 4 per cent, had attended or completed the eighth grade, though completion of the eighth grade is generally regarded as necessary to secure even the rudiments of an education, the bulletin says. Only one of these five states has a compulsory law for children up to sixteen, even when unemployed, and that law permits many exemptions. In a recent study of school attendance in Cleveland it was found that 2,550 children were so irregular in their attendance at school as to interfere with their studies, and that the reasons for staying out of school were in many cases trivial In addition to lax school attendanceaws, three of the five states permit children sixteen years old and younger to go to work even if they cannot read or write or never have been to IN THE "MISSING MEN" LIST Additional Cases in Which Information Is Being Sought by Relatives and Friends.

The reduction of the indebtedness of the American Legion from $343,648 to $197,214 in five months, or at the rate of approximately $30,000 a month, has been announced by Robert H. Tyndall, national treasurer, at Indianapolis. His statement covers the indebtedness up to June 30. The high mark of $343,648 was reached on January 31, and since then there has been a steady reduction of the deficit. In a previous announcement Mr. Tyndall declared that the Legion's old indebtedness of $257,000, borrowed last summer for preliminary organization work, had been paid in full. The treasurer's books show that the indebtedness of $197,214 outstanding on June 30 is offset easily threefold by the assets of the American Legion. The deficits at the end of the first six months of the year are shown in the following table: January 31, $343,648.13; February 29, $294,183.88; March 31, $256,963.61; April 30, $238,254.47; May 31, $240,650.91; June 30, $197,214.22. Greeks Honor Defender Naming their organization after the immortal defender of Thermopylae, more than 350 Greeks of Gary, Ind., have organized Leonidas Post No. 253 of the American Legion. The charter was granted with the qualification that the post conduct its meetings in the American language and membership be not restricted to Greeks. PUBLIC SCHOOL come familiar with a large part of the best literature of the world. The course usually requires three years. Each member must notify the Washington bureau when the book is begun and when it is finished, including a summary of episodes and characters and the reader's impressions. It must not be understood that the bureau of education furnishes the books to be read; it simply furnishes courses of reading and encourages the co-operation of the state superintendent of public instruction as well as the directors of the extension division of state universities. Nine states are already actively co-operating in this work and include Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, North Carolina, Arizona, Wisconsin and North and South Dakota. This reading circle embodies literature, history, biography, fiction, homemaking, vocational subjects such as shipbuilding, iron and steel, merchant marine and machine shop work. It is only necessary to send name and address, age and a brief statement of education and occupation to the home education division of the department of education in order to be enrolled without pay on the National Reading Circle Register. OW WOW JUST WAIT those ten years to meet again. As he neared the old farmhouse, the recollections of the beatings he had endured there came back as if they had occurred within a week instead of a decade. It had been a long wait, but, at last, his time had come. He knocked at the door, and even then clenched his fists, ready to begin the exercises. But there was a hitch in the program. Ten years had dealt harshly with Champ Clark's former employer. His wife and children had died, and he lay ill. He was all alone when Champ entered the house, and there were signs of poverty and distress about the place. "I came here to beat you up," remarked the future speaker of the house; "been waiting to do that for ten years, but—I guess I won't." dress suit. Besides the evening suit, Johnson also wore a new and costly pair of patent leather shoes. He was in an optimistic mood when he bought them and believed that he could be comfortable in a slightly smaller sized shoe than nature had in mind for him when his feet were designed. A sad-eyed butler let him into the Stewart mansion. Mrs. Stewart came forward with much cordiality to greet him. He stepped toward her, but his shoes were not the antiskid kind and they did not assimilate with the floor. The floor started to rear up and strike the defenseless Johnson and he clutched at a support which chanced to be a massive and high-priced vase —pronounced vawze—containing a huge palm. This was surrounded by smaller palms and ferns and flowers. All went down with Johnson. Everything was a total loss, including his dress suit, which split with a sort of low wall. All was a blank to Johnson after that until he found himself in the street. That was 25 years ago, but to this day Johnson grows pale and nervous when he thinks of it. Anyway, "Own your own half-after-six clothes" is his motto nowadays. I HAYE A LEGAL RIGHT TO REMAIN IGNORANT school. Two require only that the child applying for work shall have gone to school for a brief period during the preceding year. Among the other states in the United States 23 require the completion of a specified grade. And 12 more and the District of Columbia require the ability to read and write. None of the five states where children were granted certificates makes any provision for continuation schools in order to make up for defective education in childhood. Only 18 states in the United States have laws which make such a provision. England, under the Fisher education act, which went into effect April 1, is rapidly establishing continuation schools throughout the country, and will shortly compel attendance up to the age of eighteen.

Is it possible to can fruits successfully without sugar and, if so, what is the best method, are questions asked nowadays by many housewives in view of the scarcity and high price of sugar. Sometimes fruits needed to make the diet more palatable and varied during the winter have gone to waste because sugar was not available for canning when they were ripe. Such waste can be prevented; for, according to the experts of the United States department of agriculture, apples somewhat underderripe, also gooseberries, raspberries, blueberries, and other berries, and sweet varieties of plums and cherries may all be canned in their own juices without the addition of sugar. In fact, many housewives think that the flavor of many fruits canned without sugar and sweetened just before using is better and more like that of fresh fruit than when canned with large quantities of sugar or in a heavy syrup. If the fruit is very sour or is canned in large pieces, heating for a few minutes when adding the sugar before serving will make it penetrate the fruit more thoroughly and evenly. Fruits may be canned in their own juices without the addition of any sweetening in at least three ways: A simple method of canning, especially good for such soft, juicy fruits as berries, is as follows: Pack the washed fruit into the jar and, without adding any liquid of any kind, process the fruit in the customary way for DRY FOODSTUFFS BY SUN OR HEAT Sundrying Demands Rainless Season of High Temperature and Bright Sunshine. IDEAL CONDITIONS OUTLINED Where a Glass-Covered Solar Drier Is Employed, Both Dust and Insects Are Excluded—Home-Made Equipment Efficient. Wherever climatic conditions make it possible, sundrying is the least expensive method of preserving foodstuffs. Successful sundrying demands a rainless season of bright sunshine and high temperature, and the extent to which it can be carried on in any district is determined by the length of its rainless midsummer and autumn period. Ideal conditions for sundrying all fruits, both early and late, are found in the interior districts of California, where sundrying has become an industry of large proportions, and throughout the Southwest. In the intermountain region of the Northwestern states, over the larger part of the Great Plains area, and in all but the coastal portions of the Southern states, the sundrying of such early-maturing fruits as berries, cherries, apricots, and peaches is everywhere possible. In much of this territory warm, rainless weather usually continues sufficiently far into the autumn to permit sundrying of such late-maturing fruits as apples, pears, and plums, as well as of such vegetables as sweet corn, pumpkin and squash. Outside these areas and in any region in which the late summer and early autumn are characterized by frequent rainfall or periods of low temperature and high humidity, it will not be wise to depend wholly upon sundrying, as a few days of rainy weather may cause the loss of a large amount of valuable material, specialists in United States department of agriculture say. Dleadvantage of Sundrying. As ordinarily conducted, sundrying in the open air has the disadvantage that the drying material is exposed for a considerable length of time to the visits of insects which deposit their eggs in it and also to dust borne by air currents. Insects may be excluded by providing the trays in which the material is dried with covers of mosquito netting tacked tightly in place over the top, but such covers do not wholly prevent the entrance of dust. Both dust and insects are excluded if a glass-covered solar drier is employed, and a device of this character should be used in any district in which the usual period, or perhaps four or five minutes longer. The processing draws the juice from the fruit and the canned product often has an even better flavor than when syrup is added. Another way of canning fruit without sugar is to cook the ripest fruits over moderate heat until the juice is drawn from them, adding no water unless necessary and in any case only a very little. Drain the juice from the fruit through a jelly bag, bring this juice to the boll, and use it like boiling syrup to fill the jars into which the firmer fruit has been packed. Then process the jars of fruit in the usual way. Still Another Method. Still another method is to cook the fruit to a sauce of the desired consistency in an open kettle, and, without adding any sugar, pour it into jars scalded in the following way: Cover the jars, tops, and rubbers with boiling water, remove them from the water one at a time as needed, being careful not to touch or wipe the jars inside, pour in the fruit while boiling hot, and seal each jar at once. This method is not so uniformly successful as when the fruit is cooked in the jar, because it is difficult to prevent bacteria and molds from getting into the fruit and the jar while they are being filled and sealed. Many housekeepers, however, can acid fruits and tomatoes in this way successfully year after year. high winds carrying much dust prevail during the drying season. If artificial heat is used, the work is independent of weather conditions, and it is possible to dry a considerable number of foodstuffs which ordinarily cannot be dried in the sun; for example, winter varieties of apples, prunes, and such vegetables as potatoes and carrots. It has the disadvantage of requiring close supervision in order that overheating and subsequent injury to the material may be avoided, but if the work is properly done the products will retain their natural appearance and flavor to a greater degree than it is possible in sundrying. The process is more expensive than sundrying, since an evaporator must be constructed or purchased and a supply of fuel provided. For the individual family the investment represented by the evaporator need not be a burden; anyone who can use ordinary tools can construct in spare time and with a trifling outlay for material a cook-stove drier, while the heat of the stove or range employed for cooking can be utilized for operating the drier. If this home-made equipment is properly constructed it is quite as efficient as the similar small drier sold on the market at several times its cost.

Take one cupful each of water and buttermilk, one half cupful of flour, one and one-half cupfuls of corn meal, one-half teaspoonful Take one cupful each of water and buttermilk, one-half cupful of flour, one and one-half cupfuls of corn meal, one-half teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoonful of baking powder and one egg. Sift the soda and baking powder with the flour, add the other ingredients, with a teaspoonful of salt; and bake in a hot oven. Corn Mush Bread. Heat one pint of milk until boiling; add three-quarters of a cupful of corn meal, one teaspoonful of salt, one tablespoonful of butter, and cook this batter on the top of the stove until it is thick. Remove from the heat and cool. When cold, stir in the well-beaten yolks of four eggs and fold in the stiffly 'beaten whites; bake in a well greased pudding dish and serve hot from the pan. This quantity makes sufficient for six. Compote of Rice With Peaches. Add two-thirds of a cupful of well-washed rice to a cupful of boiling water; steam until the rice has absorbed the water, then add one and one-third cupfuls of milk, boiling hot, one teaspoonful of salt and one-quarter of a cupful of sugar. Cook until the rice is soft. Turn into a buttered mold and when firm remove to a serving dish and arrange sections of very ripe peaches, dipped into macaroon crumbs. Use whipped cream and garnish with candied cherries for a sauce with which to serve the rice. Dutch Apple Cake. Separate the whites and yolks of two eggs. Beat the yolks and add one and one-half cupfuls of milk, a table-spoonful of butter, melted, one-half teaspoonful of salt, two cupfuls of flour that have been sifted with three level teaspoonfuls of baking powder; beat quickly, fold in the well-beaten whites of the eggs and turn into a shallow baking pan. Cover the top with cored, peeled and quartered apples; dust with half a cupful of sugar and a bit of cinnamon if liked. Bake in a moderate oven for half an hour and serve with cream and sugar or as a hot bread with tea or coffee.

GENERAL DIRECTIONS FOR CLEANING. Mary fabrics when wet with a cleanser show the outline of the stain. To obviate this, blotting paper should be placed under the spot to be cleaned and a circle of fuller's earth spread around it. This will define the outer edge of the spot and will absorb the cleanser as it spreads, thus preventing the unwhisky is often left. When paper should be placed under the spot to be cleaned and a circle of fuller's earth spread around it. This will define the outer edge of the spot and will absorb the cleanser as it spreads, thus preventing the unsightly ring which is often left. When sponging a stain, commence at the outside and work towards the center; this prevents the spreading of the grease. It is always safer to test the cleanser on a scrap of material to see that the color is not affected. Chloroform and ether are good grease solvents for delicate fabrics. Cut four ounces of castle soap into a quart of soft water and heat until the soap is melted. Remove from the fire and add two quarts of cold soft water. When the liquid is quite cold, pour into it four ounces of ammonia, two ounces of alcohol and two of ether. Bottle and cork tightly. When using shake the bottle well and apply with a sponge or cloth and rinse in clear water. When fast-colored dress goods are to be washed, add a cupful of the fluid to a pailful of soft water; soak the garment in this water, wash and rinse thoroughly. To remove grease spots from woolen garments, first rinse in alcohol, to which salt has been added (two tablespoonfuls to one cupful of alcohol). The grease will come out as if by magic. Then wash in warm suds to restore the softness which they had when new. To Clean Gold or Silver Lace. Place the lace on a woolen cloth and free it from all dust, then apply alum which has been burnt, powdered and sifted through a fine sieve, with a soft brush. A druggist will supply the alum burnt and powdered. Steel trimming, beads and ornaments will be restored to their former brightness by an application of unlaked lime. Kerosene will remove vaseline pots if it is applied before the spots have been washed. A bottle of the tincture of iodine is necessity in the home. Apply it for all minor cuts or bruises. Let your head save your heels. Sometimes a minute of think is betrayed. WHAT TO EAT. A simple salad and one which is a great favorite with all lovers of onions is this: Slice young tender onions in thin slices and pour over them thick sweet cream which has been well seasoned with salt and cayenne. This is fine with bread and butter for a late lunch. Macedone Salad. ```markdown ``` Take one cupful each of cooked carrots and turnips cut in strips, one cupful of cooked potato cut in balls, one cupful of string beans, two tablespoonfuls of parsley finely minced. Marinate in French dressing separately. Arrange in sections on lettuce and garnish with the parsley. Corn Omelette. Take one cupful of fresh grated corn, four eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper, a tablespoonful of oil or butter. Separate the eggs and beat the yolks until thick, adding two tablespoonfuls of cold water, salt and pepper. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites and pour into a buttered omelette pan. Shake the pan and lift the edges while cooking to cook in the center. Cover with corn and fold, turn out on a hot platter. The corn is seasoned with butter and pepper, then cooked over hot water for twenty minutes. The corn should be ready before the omelette is made. Appledore Bean Soup. Appledore Bean Soup.

The following is a famous New Orleans dish which is well worth adding to one's treasured cook book: Okra Gumbo. Take one chicken, one onion, two cans of cooked tomatoes, two cans of sliced onion, one half of a Okra Gumbo. Take one chicken, one onion, two cans of cooked tomatoes, two cans of sliced okra, one-half of a red pepper pod, one pound of sliced ham, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley and one tablespoonful of fat. Clean and cut up the chicken. Cut the ham into small squares. Put the fat into a soup kettle and when hot add the chicken and ham. Cover closely and simmer ten minutes or until well browned. Add the onion minced and the parsley. Cook to a light brown. Fry the okra separately. Pour in the tomatoes, okra and three quarts of water; add seasonings and simmer until the meat is tender. Serve hot with boiled rice. The seasoning of okra gumbo should be high. Heat until crisp three cupfuls of puffed rice, stirring often to prevent burning. Boil two cupfuls of brown sugar, one-half cupful of water, one tablespoonful of vinegar, one teaspoonful of butter, a pinch of soda and a pinch of salt, until the mixture forms a soft ball in cold water. Beat in the rice and pour into buttered tins. Canned Apple Sauce. Take fine flavored apples, pare, quarter and core them. Prepare a rich sirup of sugar and water and drop in a few of the apples, letting them cook just long enough to scald through then drop them into the can. Boll down, the sirup until quite heavy, and pour over the apples. Seal as usual. Peel, cut in halves and remove the stores from six peaches. Place in a shallow baking pan.

JESSE DOUGLASS, MANAGER DENVER OFFICE. 4 EARLY fall has come along, bringing with it suits so altogether satisfying to women of good taste that they are more than thankful for them. There is real joy in their many excellencies—all up to the level of the most discriminating and sophisticated of demands. The colors, lines, cloths, trimings and the marvelous tailoring combine to place them a little ahead of anything else in our regard. We may expect to see our streets filled with women so well outfitted that it is a pleasure to look at them. All those velvety, luxurious looking materials that are soft and pliable and that seem to show colors at their best, are at hand for designers, and seem to have inspired them. Lines are conservative and pleasing and there is sufficient variety in styles. Furs we would expect to find in the company of fabrics that resemble and suggest them and they are used with great discretion on the new suits. Millinery in Miniature X X MILLINERY for small girls includes many pressed shapes of beaver or felt and some "made" hats—that is hats of fabrics placed over frames and usually made by hand. The shapes are simple and childish and among the milliner-made hats there are small replicas of a few of the shapes worn by grown-ups with finishing touches that make them amusing miniatures of the headwear which they are patterned after. But the group of hats for small girls shown here is a little different from either of these* classes—it contains made hats that are characteristically childish in shape and finishing. Duvetty and velvet play as important a part in children's hats as in any other. At the top of this group a round shape with upturned brim is covered with velvet and the brim decorated with two rows of fancy silk braid. It has for trimming a silk tassel that dangles from a cord fastened to the top of the crown, but otherwise left free to dance about as it will. The top crown is soft, the side crown plaited and the brim plain in the hat at the left, finished with a bias band of velvet. Heavy wool yarn is button-holed to the brim-edge and two small wool pompons nestle together at the front of the crown, posed against a band of ribbon that is finished with a flat bow at the back. At the right of the picture a little velvet hat indulges in an abbreviated tam crown and contents itself with a "k" cord for trimming on the upward --- Two smart models illustrated here tell better than words can the virtues of the new modes. The suit at the left, of taupe velour, is a Russian inspiration with coat fastened at the left with large buttons set on a curved line. The back of the coat is longer than the front, and this feature is emphasized by embroidery in a handsome band. At the front there are rows of narrow bands or braid. The sleeves have deep flaring cuffs ornamented with buttons, and there are interesting slit pockets at the sides, crescent shape and finished with arrow heads. The choker collar is of beaver fur. The skirt is plain and rather full. The suit at the right is plainer, with a smart belted coat, the belt unusually narrow and crossed at the front. It is in a new strong blue, and its handsome choker collar is of dark gray squirrel fur. X rolling brim. The hat at the bottom is as simply trimmed with band and bow of ribbon, but it has a facing of stitched silk and its top crown is plaited. These little models are all of velvet, but they might be of duvetyn or silk. Julia Bottomly The pale pastel taffetas, sometimes changeable, will challenge any girl to dare try making them up without lace. One of the most fascinating models made of just such materials was in shot green taffetas, with tiny underskirt of lace and small sleeves of the same. There were two tunics. The first, long and somewhat narrow, was cut shorter than the lace all around, but on one side specially curved up in one place to show the lace. It was bound, like the upper draped and panniered tunic, with sky blue taffetas and had a bowknot finishing the highest point. At the girdle a little bouquet of mauve buds gave that knowing which all high-class dressmakers know how to give. In preparation for the anticipate carmine revival in dress, much scarlet and crimson is being used on shoes. J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.

When a Siberian bride enters her husband's house for the first time she must be prepared to show her skill in cooking. She is expected to give a dinner prepared with her own hands as a test of her education in the culinary art. The name was first applied to Lower California, and probably was taken from the name of a fictitious island abounding in gold and precious stones, which was described in the Spanish romance, "Las Sergas de Esplandian," published in 1510.
