THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY TWO SECTIONS OF THE WHERE COLORED EXERCISE PRIV UNDER THE MIN TWO SECTIONS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE COLORED WOMEN WILL NOT EXERCISE PRIVILEGES GRANTED UNDER THE MINTEENTH AMENDMENT (By Col. Winfield Jones.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. Though the woman suffrage amendment is now part of the Constitution, and women of the Republic are on a political equality with men, there are two sections of the country where women will not exercise the privileges guaranteed under the Nineteenth Amendment. In the Southern states the Negro women will not be allowed to vote, no more so than the Negro men. In the District of Columbia, the National Capital, which is completely disfranchised, neither men nor women can vote, even for municipal officials. It is a fact taken for granted in the sixteen Southern states that Negro women, despite ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment, cannot use the newly won ballot. In the South the Negro man is not allowed to vote—a fact well known to every Southern and to all Northern people who are conversant with political conditions throughout the country. Since the end of reconstruction days the whites have politically dominated the sixteen Southern states. The cornerstone of this domination has been disfranchisement of the Negro. Were this not so and the Negro allowed to vote on an equality with the whites in this section, there would be no more "Solid South." Instead most of the Southern states would be Republican, for the Negro, when he does vote, is always found in the Republican column. It could not be otherwise, as it was the Republican party, under the immortal Lincoln, that abolished slavery. The Democratic party has disfranchised the Negro in the South. During the campaign to pass the Nineteenth Amendment through Congress, Southern Senators and Representatives served notice on suffrage advocates that if the amendment was ratified the South proposed to nullify it as far as the Negro women were concerned. In the final lineup when the Nineteenth Amendment was passed by Congress, it was the Southern Senators and Representatives who voted against it to the last roll call. A Democratic Congress, under leadership of President Wilson, refused to pass the Amendment. It was not until the Republicans gained control of House and Senate that the amendment was passed. Twenty-nine Republican states voted to ratify the Nineteenth Amendment, and only seven Democratic states. Seven Democratic states refused to ratify. The Republicans can well claim the credit for ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment. Practically all the opposition to women suffrage came from the Bourbon South. In the South the Negro is now disfranchised by various devices which effectively destroy his political rights as an American citizen under the Constitution. The "literacy test," property qualifications, the "grandfather clause," which requires the voter's father or grandfather to have served ```markdown ``` VOL. XXVI. in the Confederate army, or plain "shotgun tactics" are resorted to by the white political bosses to keep the Negro away from the polls. These meneuvers succed and very few Negroes are allowed to vote in any of the Southern states. If the Negro insists on his constitutional privilege he soon "disappears," according to Henry Lincoln Johnson, National Republican committeeman from Georgia, himself a colored man. There are approximately 4,000,000 Negro women of voting age in the South. Under the white domination and the terrorist tactics of the Southern politicians practically all of them are disfranchised now, despite the Nineteenth Amendment. It is preposterous to suppose that if the Negro man is not allowed to vote in the South the Negro women will be given the ballot. In the Northern states, where the Negro can vote on a parity with the white man, the Negro voter in the November election will have an opportunity to avenge, in a measure, the political disfranchisement of his brothers and sisters in the South. But he can register his indignation only by voting the Republican ticket. CHALLENGE AMERICAN LEGION ON RACE ISSUE. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People telegraphed the American Legion, during its session in Cleveland, charging that Southern states had refused to grant charters to colored post of the Legion, and asking that a clause be inserted in the Legion's National Constitution, providing that no charters be refused to any post on the ground of race, creed or color. The telegram which was sent by James Weldon Johnson, acting secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., was addressed to Major Hamilton Fish, who commanded colored troops in France. The telegram is as follows: "American Legion has not kept faith with colored soldiers. Southern states have absolutely refused to grant charters to colored posts in Mississippi, Louisiana and other Southern states. National organizer has written Major Joel E. Spingarm that it is useless to make any protest to national organizer. It is highly essential that a clause be added to national constitution providing that no charters be refused to any post by any department organization on the grounds of race, creed or color. Knowing your record in World War and since, we rely on you to see that this provision is submitted and adopted. "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, "Acting Secretary." DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9 1920 DESENDING INTO HELL WITH THE DEMOCRATS DESENDING INTO HELL WITH THE DEMOCRATS By Jonathan Cover. THE above is the caption of an extremely interesting article printed in the September number of The Crisis. It is the product of the fertile brain of Mr. Ernest McKinney, a young man of considerable experience in representative capacities at home, and with a highly creditable record for bravery and endurance with the expeditionary forces in the World War. Mr. McKinney expresses in a forceful way a dissatisfaction with political conditions brought about and maintained in a greater or less degree by both Republicans and Democrats and under which every red-blooded Negro chafes and is thoroughly resentful. The meat of the article is contained in the statement that the Negro is confronted with the problem of "Embarking on an uncharted sea with a new candidate, or descending into hell with the Democrats." The first horn of the dilemma is scarcely stated with accuracy for the Republican course was charted by Lincoln, Grant and Sumner and though the old ship has been driven from her course very frequently and compelled to "shorten sail" to avoid the southern "trades" and the angry gulf stream "tides," she is still seaworthy and under a skillful, capable and dutiful commander, such as Warren G. Harding, there is no good reason why she should not reach port with her cargo of Equal Civil Rights for all Americans intact. The article is vaguely suggestive of a new political alignment for Negroes, but what would be the use, when no minority party has the ghost of a chance and he can expect no title of the consideration from the other major party, as is his through his Republican affiliation. Contrary also to the idea of Mr. McKinney, few Negroes hold to the theory "that because father was a Republican, I am a Republican and forsooth, must remain a Republican." This it is admitted was quite generally the sentiment once, but the Negro has long since cut his political eyeteeth and is much less of a sentimental impressionist than formerly. He is doing his own thinking now, as Mr. McKinney would have him and seems to have concluded that any considerable deflection from the highway of Republican politics can only lead him into bypaths which are a veritable tangle of socialistic and laboristic theories, out of which the blue sky of opportunity is not so much as even indistinctly visible. "Descending into Hell with the Democrats" is very well put, but this could not be in the nature of an experiment, since we seem to have been there quite prominently for nearly eight years. Our real problem is to get out and the only way to do it, is to put Harding in. There was a time when Democracy made a reasonable and sensible bid for the Negro vote, but that was under the leadership of northern Democrats who were both big men and big Democrats, rather than big Democrats and little men. They were men who had heart and conscience in a fifty-fifty combination, and out of which there was in process of evolvement much of equity and righteous regard for Negro citizenship. Cleveland, Carlisle, Bissell, Whitney and Olney were Democrats of a class whose integrity and staunch Americanism must be invoked from the shades of twenty-five years ago, to make even respectable, the torn and tattered garments of latter-day Democracy. The Republican candidate promises much through the unqualified denunciation of the wrongs and injustice Negroes have suffered and through the definite promise to extend that justice for which Lincoln himself would have prayed. CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS The society matrons are interested in the presidential election and there are no social functions scheduled for the month. Since 1892 the Republican politicians have been asleep and are now faintly awakening to the fact that real work is to be done. Cheyenne has two political clubs, one officered by women and one by men. The woman's organization is controlled by intelligent women who are trained in methods of organization. Many women and men will be induced to exercise the franchise. Some of the ladies who are members of the Searchlight Club are active in the campaign to register a 100 per cent vote. The men's organization is not as strong as the ladies' organization. The men lack the training in organized work. Why are not most of the active members of the Cheyenne Civic League of Colored people taking an active part in the Frederick Douglass Campaign Club? The experience of such men could be of much benefit to these experienced young men who have endevoured to organize in a way believed proper to organize. Our old men should not feel slighted because of the fact that there was not a published call for a mass meeting of Republican voters at some public hall. You old men should get out and assist the young men with that organized team work and racial helpfulness, of which you are so fond. Mr. William Ashford is an able presiding officer, has patience and in time could make the Douglass Club a strong organization, now if he was assisted by the old, stalwart Republicans with political speeches and organized training it would make our young men understand the spirit of Republicanism. Come out next Monday evening and help the boys make a booster meeting. Morgan Stone, aged about 45, died of pneumonia. Funeral services were held from Early Undertaking Parlors on Sunday, October 3rd, Rev. J. M. Endicott officiated. Mr. and Mrs. John A. Baker accompanied by Mrs. Redd and Mrs. Hopkins motored to Sterling to spend Sunday with Mrs. Lena Ward. Mrs. H. C. Jefferson departed for Atchison, Kan., called to the bedside of her mother, who is seriously ill. A letter received from Rev. J. T. Muse states the sad news of the death of the mother of Mrs. Muse at Roanoke, Virginia. The Civic League of colored people passed resolutions of sympathy at the death of the mother of Mrs. Muse. A copy of the resolutions will be sent to Mrs. Muse at Woodland, California. Mrs. J. H. Moss is the big "booster" for the Frederick Douglass Campaign Club. Colored Voters Will Get Scant Thought of Cox Democratic Nominee Does Not Intend to Recognize Negro in Appointments. HICAGO, Sept.—If there is any difference between Candidate Cox and J. Thomas Heflin in their attitude toward the struggling and aspiring colored American citizenship in this country, it is the difference that the former is subtle, underhand and effective in his practice of racial reprisals, while the latter, being from Which means they may have this difference: with ends they are identical. If the comparison should go into prog-Alabama, is loud-mouthedly outspoken, session, it might be charged that Cox is infinitely more dangerous that Heflin because of his influence as governor of a state that has for upward of half a century taken forward steps to protect the colored man's citizenship. learned not to expect anything from the mushroom growth of Southern statesmen, the qualifications of whom are bounded by their ability to apply invective against the Negro and their ingenuity to evolve plans against his citizenship, but a Democratic governor, such as Cox, who aspires to be President of the United States, is really a menace against the race that must be met with every honorable means of defense. MRS. DUNBAR, POET'S MOTHER, PENNILESS Paul Laurence Dunbar's Aged Mother Faces Poverty Unless Club Since Cox has been governor he has covertly and often openly fostered propaganda against the colored man and woman, permitting the exhibition of the Birth of a Nation and applying other insidious ways and means of humiliation for the colored people. Although the employment of colored labor was absolutely necessary to sustain the industrial activities in Ohio during the war, he openly discouraged the migration of this labor from the South, saying in so many words that "the Southern Negro has about as much chance to thrive in Ohio as the cotton blossom has to thrive in the Yukon." Damaging propaganda and official practices against the race can be traced to Cox in such a manner as to leave no doubt that he is in full harmony with the approved methods of the South. Under Republican governors and their administrations Ohio was famous for the recognition accorded to colored people. That state was foremost in supplying educational advantages for the race and was always out in front with inducements for its advancement. Under Cox, but one colored man is employed by the state, and he is the messenger In the governor's office, a menial place that gives full estimate of the Democratic candidate's gauge of the worth of the colored citizen. Laws passed by the Republicans according rights to colored people are practically dead letters under Cox. In fact, the best answer to an oft-repeated question as to whether there is a difference between the Northern Democrats and the Southern Democrats is the attitude of Cox himself. He has by some means imbibed all of the prejudice of the South and is permit- ing it to gain a foothold in Ohio. It is announced in Chicago, from the Democratic headquarters, that Congressman Heflin will take the stump for Cox. This is as it should be because the difference between Heflin and Cox on the race question is just as the difference is between tweedleum and tweedleee. Heflin may be a trifle more demonstrative and melodramatic by shooting colored men who happen to rub against him on street cars, introducing bills in Congress for the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, etc., but he has been none the less a factor in retarding the progress of the race, nor more enterprising against its rights and privileges. Colored men and women have NO.52 learned not to expect anything from the mushroom growth of Southern statesmen, the qualifications of whom are bounded by their ability to apply invective against the Negro and their ingenuity to evolve plans against his citizenship, but a Democratic governor, such as Cox, who aspires to be President of the United States, is really a menace against the race that must be met with every honorable means of defense. MRS. DUNBAR, POET'S MOTHER, PENNILESS Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 1.—With want and poverty apparent in a little two-story frame cottage at 219 North Summit street an old woman, nearing 75 years, weeps bitterly. The world has forgotten her. Although thousands of persons visit her home during the year, she remains a lonely and neglected woman. This is the present chapter in the life of Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, mother of the late poet, Paul Laurence Dunbar, whose lyrics of lowly life touched sympathetic chords in the hearts of every American and introduced our race in the world of letters. Mother Penniless The poet's mother confessed that she is almost penniless and was disturbed over the fact that she was unable to purchase coal in which to drive the icy fingers of winter from her little cottage. An inspection of the house confirmed her statement. On the dining room table is a little tin box, with card attached, asking visitors to contribute to her needs. Dayton Disinterested Residents of Dayton of both races show little interest in the Dunbar home, and one secretary of the Y. M. C. A. admitted he did not know where it was located. The city and state have refused to take the place in charge, appoint a caretaker and pension Mrs. Dunbar. Persons who know the poet are endeavoring to solicit the aid of the various Dunbar clubs throughout the country, schools and colleges to help make the home a national monument and shrine. Unscrupulous publishers, who seized the poet's works when he was broken in health, have sold copies of his books throughout the world and carried the money to their own pockets, denying the aged mother any rights or royalties and her fate now rests with the public at large. Post's Room Unharmed Dunbar's room, where he wrote poems that later immortalized him, is located on the second floor of the home. His desk, covered with manuscripts and many autographed books of his contemporaries, is as he left it. Many of these documents of the highest literary value, are exposed to light and dust, and unless protected will soon be worthless. The poet's clothing and other personal belongings are in the room, placed there by him, shortly before he was confined to his bed. Unless help comes from some outside source the Dunbar home may be sold at public auction. | THE A B O'S OF BANKING SERVICE YOUTH is the accelerator of banking service. ‘‘Step on her” = - and watch the whole organiza- it tion respond !

Denver, Colorado a ae Re ee Oe heels MANY MORE TO CITIES OVER HALF OF POPULATION [8 LIVING IN CITIES AND ; TOWNS. | Pieetern Newer Ye Te Washington, Oct. 8.—The total pop- ulation of continental United States is 105,688,108, an increase of 13,710,842, or 14.9 per cent. ‘This figure does not include approx- imately 12,250,000 people living in the country’s outlying possessions. The Population of Aluska and the total classed under the military aud naval service abrond are yet to be an- nounced, Director Rogers of the census bu- reau in making the announcement of the country’s population said that while the figures were preliminary and subject to correction, the final offi- cial population as transmitted to Con- arose in December for apportionment purposes was not likely to be greatly different, although It might be slight- ly larger through the addition of popu- lation for small sections of territory claimed not to have been properly can- vassed by the census enumerators in January and which are now being In- vestigated. “The population of the United | States as announced toduy,” said Mr. Rogers, “is 105,683,108, as compared with a total in 1910 of 91,972,266 and in 1900 of 75,994,575. ‘This is an in- crease since 1910 of 18,710,842, or 14.9 |per cent, as compared with an in- | crease from 190) to 1910 of 15,977, | 091, or 21 per cent. | ‘The large falling off in the rate of | growth for the country as a whole a= | shown by these figures is due mainly | to an almost complete cessation of im- | migration for more than five years | preceding the tuking of the census in | January last, and in some degree also | to an epidemic of influenza and to the | easunities resulting from the World war. “The results of the census of popu- }tation in 1920 at first glance may | seem somewhat disappointing and | open to question, possibly, but the sub: | stantial accurncy of the enumeration in January js fully borne out by con: parison with estimates based up@ the | probable excess of births over deaths | throughout the decade and the excess of immigration over emigration. From jal available data it may be roughly estimated that the annual excess of [births over deaths thraughout the “United States is approximately 1 per | cent.” | ‘The figures of the present census | also show that the trend of popula: [tion from the country to the city has | become greatly accentuated since 1910 | and that for the first time in the coun- | try’s history more than half the entire | population is now living in urban ter- [ritory, ay defined by the census bi reau, That is to sy, of the 105,683,108 | persons enumerated in the fourteenth | census, preliminary tabulations show that 4,516,200, or 51.9 per cent, are living in incorporated places of 2,500 fnhabitants or more, and that 5,888,899, or 48.4 per cent, in rural territory. “Yo show more clearly the change in the proportion of the population living in rural territory compared with ten years ngo, the rural population can be divided Into two classes, name- ly, 9,864,196, or 9.3 per cent of the to: ‘tal population living in incorporated | places of less than 2,500 inhabitants, and 41,002,708, or 38.8 per cent of the total population living in what may be | called purely country districts. At the | census of 1910 the population living in | incorporated places of less than 2,500 inhabitants formed 8.8 per cent, while the population living in purely country districts formed 44.8 per cent of the total population.” ‘There are in the United States 6,- 459,998 farms, an Increase of 98,496, | or 1.5 per cent over the total number recorded in 1910, the census bureau | announced today.

HARDING'S MESSAGE TO COLORED AMERICANS "Fear not! Here upon this beloved soil you shall have the justice that every man and woman of us knows would have been prayed for by Abraham Lincoln. Fear not! Your people, by their restraint, their patience, their wisdom, integrity, labor and belief in God, will earn the right to that justice, and America will bestow it.—Senator Harding's address to colored pilgrims at Marion, September 10, 1920. Many seem to think it is a sin to use money in political campaigns. When a campaign of education is necessary on public questions, when voters have to be visited and coaxed to come out and vote, and perhaps automobiles hired to haul them to the polls, money must be raised to do it. This may be wrong in principle, but the voters, not the political parties, are to blame. HELPFUL HINTS TO NEWSPAPERMEN AND THE PUBLIC. ANY member of the newspaper family who had the opportunity of listening to Mr. Charles S. Patterson of New York City, for forty-one years an analyst and authority on circulation values, when he spoke at the regular weekly meeting of the Advertising Bureau of the Denver Civic and Commercial Association, could not help from receiving something permanently beneficial from the very interesting talk, in which the declaration that quality of circulation rather than mere quantity was clearly and impressively brought out. "Weighing Circulations" was the speaker's subject and showed clearly the difference between the use of advertising by those who merely use it as a quick and profitable agent to sell their goods, generally the order of bulk circulation, as against character circulation backed up by readers' confidence and buying responsiveness. From Mr. Patterson's years of experience as audit expert in Philadelphia with the large advertising firm of Ayer & Son and afterwards as a special agent and circulation analyst in New York, he is in a position to instruct advertisers and their agents how to insure a good return, and in the following expression he offers the bulwarks for the maintenance of a successful advertising medium: "Ability to buy, based on individual income; buying responsiveness, based on reader buying habit, and credence in the publication itself; attachment for the publication through long association; cleanliness of the paper's columns; the value placed on the publication, based on the subscription price, and the means employed to get the circulation." We can faithfully subscribe to the foregoing facts, which we have always enjoyed since we have entered the newspaper field, as the quality of our advertisements for the long years of our existence has proven to the critical public, among who we live and associate, for a period extending over three decades. Everyone who is acquainted with the COLORADO STATESMAN can offer a certificate as to the make-up of our paper, the healthiness of its articles, the quality of its advertisements, which, we maintain, make our publication one of the best advertising in the country. We aim at quality instead of quantity, which Mr. Patterson determines to be the real criterion of a newspaper's merit, and as our paper appears each succeeding week, the classy advertisements of the leading merchants of our city and state in every line prove beyond a doubt that we have insured the confidence of our readers, gotten the best results for the publicity agents of the many business firms that deal with us, and establish a prestige in the newspaper world that cannot be easily overcome. With such interesting talks and wise suggestions coming from such an authority as Mr. Patterson, the public will surely be guided by the agency that will bring them the results they expect, and not be patrons of a publication which, because of its "bulk circulation," will admit any fake financial or repulsive medical advertisement. We are much encouraged by the address of Mr. Patterson and hope to continue the usefulness of the COLORADO STATESMAN to the public by its QUALITY. OUR DICTATORS. THE COLORADO STATESMAN has repeatedly urged that the Republican leaders of Denver and Colorado recognize some representative colored person or some reputable organization among us, through whom or which the most important efforts and most reasonable desires of the colored voters might be intelligently communicated and understood, to the end that a more thorough and more satisfactory political alliance might be maintained. We have repeatedly expressed the opinion that the old-time custom of relying upon the colored man's blind loyalty to the party and of placating him with campaign promises and the few sporadic crumbs of office which exceptional individual officials might see fit to drop was not in keeping with the times and the increasing importance of the colored vote. If our advice has been in any manner responsible for the condition of affairs which exist in the county and state, in which a few unauthorized individuals have apparently assumed or been endowed with the dictatorship over the political fortunes of the colored people of the state, we want to express openly to politicians our dissatisfaction with any such presumptuous arrangement and to repudiate the inference that the colored people accept the situation as an improvement upon former conditions. The insinuating process by which some individuals wormed themselves into the confidence of political leaders, the success of which has so inflated absolute control of the political affairs of the colored people, is not the process which any intelligent class of voters will sanction or long endure. It is a concession, we admit, when politicians put into any colored men's hands the partial direction of the people's political affairs, but we want such individuals to represent something more than the pliant, clerkship of political bosses. These men have never stood up for the things that the colored people demand or the opinion which they hold. They have always sacrificed the better interests of their race to stand in with the official leaders with whom they have been thrown in contact. Instead of aiming to unite the colored people into a self-asserting force, they have lost no opportunity to oppose those who have honorably striven to give the people this rightful power. "More Systematic, Orderly and Expeditious Movement of the Mails." By REPRESENTATIVE MARTIN B. MADDEN of Illinois. The work about to be undertaken by the joint postal service commission, which was appointed during the closing days of the last session of congress, is not an investigation of the postoffice department. It is a study of the best methods to be pursued in the operation of the department. PETER HARRIS The purpose of the commission is to devise plans and recommend them to congress for legislation for the better handling, dispatching and transporting of the mails. The commission will study all phases of the postal service with a view to formulating plans which it is hoped will eventually result in a more systematic, orderly and expeditious movement of the mails. From the information now in the hands of the commission, it is apparent that something must be done to give more prompt mail delivery to the people of the country. Among the things the commission will study is the question of separating the parcel post from the first-class mail, the purpose being to give the first-class mail the right of way without in any wise slowing up parcel post. An advisory council of seven prominent business men of the country has been elected by the commission. It is proposed also to employ expert engineering talent to make a survey of the facilities necessary to accomplish the purpose for which the commission was appointed. The postal business is expanding at such a rapid rate that it seems almost impossible to supply facilities to keep pace with the growth. It is hoped that when the commission completes its work it will be able to recommend a system of handling the mail which will be up to date and meet the needs of the present and the future for some years to come. "Constant Assault of Immigrants on English Language in America." By ANATOLE FRANCE, in New York Evening Post. In the case of America there is one factor which, interesting enough, seems to point both for and against the promise of a great literary art developing. I mean the great and constant assault of immigrants on the English language in America. They come from all over the world in great numbers there, bringing their own languages. In the fusion that comes of the native and the acquired languages English must suffer; just as in South America Spanish has degenerated to such an extent that I doubt if many of the literate people of the lower classes could read "Don Quixote" in the original. In the United States and Canada, however, this assault on the English language has had nothing like that effect. On the contrary, I believe that the lower classes in America speak a purer English than the corresponding classes in England. Such an astonishing vitality in the language promises something, just as the assault on it threatens the opposite. But then the Americans are an expressive people. So far from allowing such a splendid medium of expression as the English language to deteriorate they are enriching it with their own raciness. Type of Man Who "Redoubles His Efforts When He Has Forgotten His Aim." A famous Harvard professor with a gift for telling phrases once spoke of the type of man who "redoubles his efforts when he has forgotten his aim." There is a great deal of meaningless activity in the world. There are no end of people who do not know where they are going but use up a great amount of energy in the process of being on the way. The most pathetic product of contemporary education is the man who has found a method but has not found a purpose. He has developed a technique but he is really quite at a loss as to what use to make of it. The quest for a purpose is a noble and notable adventure. Books and people, the past and the present, are all the while trying to guide the searching pilgrim. Every great biography reaches out summoning hands. History is trying to make its dominant motions contemporary every time it finds a reader. Literature would pour its passion into every responsive brain. And our unique literature sets all the fires of noble idealism burning. In the midst of all this and all the summons of real lives about him, the student who knows that he must become a man of action and that great actions must have great motives behind them, must make his choice. It ought not to be difficult for him to find a purpose. The unrest in the world, which we have to meet today, is the product of the industrialization of the nation. In order to find a solution for the problems of unrest, the nations of European stock must declare a peace for Europe if civilization is to continue without a collapse. The very foundation of friendship between the nations, that this end may be brought about, is the development of close sympathy between the British nations and that other great English-speaking nation, the United States of America. On the basis of such a friendship the peace of Europe can be established. I doubt if for many years it could exist on any other foundation. If we succeed in doing that, if you succeed, we will have taken the first step on the path which leads to the world of our dreams, a world of peace and a world of justice. M. B.

WILLIAM N. VAILE M. REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF SUPREME COURT. The popularity of Hon. Greeley W. Whitford as a candidate for the Supreme Court was well shown in the returns of the recent primary election just completed. His majority throughout the entire state was only twenty-eight less than 10,000, or 9,972—a most remarkable showing. The result is easily understood. Judge Whitford has made a name and record for himself by enforcing the laws of the state for the protection of all its citizens. His firm stands for law and order has made his name a household word, and his fearlessness in the face of threats has put him in a class by himself. The platform of the Republican party recently adopted was a ringing declaration for law and order and the protection of the people in all their property and personal rights. Judge Whitford fits the platform perfectly, for there is no candidate who, by his public record of service, has better represented this issue or commanded the respect of all classes for the courts and laws of this state.

Lange is now installing the private printing plant for the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and will have charge of the same. The plant will be equipped with every modern appliance, including a multi-color press that runs 5,000 impressions per hour. Lawyer E. P. Blakemore has just returned from Laramie, Wye., after having made his third trip in the last thirty days, on a contested will, in which he was successful on behalf of his client, Mr. Samuel Scott of Denver, in which is involved several thousand dollars' worth of property. After a visit in Dearfield with Mr. and Mrs. Ford, Mrs. W. A. Cooper of Chicago stopped a few days in Denver this week, the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. E. Gross of 2612 Downing. She has many friends here who were glad to renew her acquaintance. Mrs. Henry Hicks of 2918½ Marion street writes from Los Angeles, Cal., that she is enjoying her stay and is improving very much in health. She meets quite a number of Denver folks and is much in praise of the A. M. E. work at Eighth and Towne, under the Rev. A. M. Ward. Deputy Sheriff Edward Allison left Tuesday for St. Paul, Minn., to bring back to Denver, Dennis Humphrey, who was arrested in that city recently. Humphrey killed a colored woman in Denver in 1918, and escaped, and no trace was heard of him until he was arrested in St. Paul last week. It is stated that he has confessed to Killing the woman, and Deputy Sheriff Victor Walker left the same day for Albany, N. Y., to bring a prisoner by the name of Simmons, back. ONE DAY LEFT FOR REGISTRATION FOR ELECTION NOV. 2 Citizens who failed to vote at the last state election or who have not registered this year must register on Thursday, October 14th, or lose their votes in the general election on November 2nd. Registration books will be open at the precinct polling places, Thursday, October 14th, and that will be the only day upon which unregistered voters may enter their names. THE DENVER COLORED An interesting meeting and smoker of the Denver Colored Civic Association will be held Tuesday evening October 12th, at 8:15 p. m., at 2745 Welton Street.

MORRISON'S BENEFIT RECITAL The Pond Lily Art Club scored a big hit when it presented Prof. Geo. Morrison and orchestra in their initial classical recital last Thursday eve at Shorter's. It was excellent in every respect, the only regret being that the house was not packed. Each number was splendid in its rendition, as was manifested by the hearty applause. The club presented the orchestra to raise funds for charity, and Mr. Morrison and orchestra willingly donated their services for this worthy cause. It is the expressed desire of the general public that the recital will be repeated at some future date. MADAME AZALIA HACKLEY IN TOWN. Our renowned musician and chorus leader, Madame Azalia Hackley, arrived here last week from Detroit, Michigan, and is the house guest of Mrs. Charles Muse, 1223 Gaylord street. The madam, who is well known in Denver, having spent some years here, during which time she brought our musical circles to a highly recognized standard, will remain in the city for one month, and her large circle of admirers will be glad to have another opportunity of seeing her in the direction of chorus work, in which she is skilled. She recently conducted a successful chorus in Detroit, where the wonderful talent possessed by our people, especially in the reendi- tion of the folk songs, was brought cut to such a degree that the Daily Detroit Journal offered the following comment: "The lover of ensemble who did not attend the second folk song festival of the colored people of Detroit held Monday evening, Sept. 20, in the Board of Commerce missed a genuine treat. There is no reason why every season should not see a concert by the pick of the local colored singers that would pack the largest auditorium in the city with music lovers of all races and color." We again welcome Madame Hackley to Denver and hope our city will be favored with a musical event during her stay. EX-SENATOR ALBERT J. BEVERIDGE OF INDIANA MAKES STIRRING REPUBLICAN ADDRESS TO MORE THAN 5,000 IN AUDITORIUM. On last Wednesday eve, at the great Auditorium the Republicans and citizens turned out en mass to hear one of the nation's most popular and eloquent statesmen present the political issues of the day and discuss the League of Nations as it really would affect this country if adopted in the form that President Wilson would have us to accept. Senator Beveridge was in true form and filled with wonderful knowledge. He kept his large audience spellbound as he tore to shreds the position and arguments of the Democrats concerning the League of Nations. He began his great speech with the remark that this was the most peculiar campaign he had ever witnessed or that the world had ever seen, because the Republicans had already won the contest. He was not, therefore, here to make votes, but to count them. He exposed the method and manner in which the inner circle of the peace conference disposed of the fourteen points of President Wilson and consigned them to the international potter's field at Paris, without even a shroud. The senator spoke of the complex population of our country and showed that as a people and a nation we were not in the same position as other nations in regards to the League, because of their homogenous population. He urged upon his hearers that it was necessary for the people of this country to become more united by blood ties. That anyone who advocated a racial strata in this country was not a patriot. We were proud to hear the senator come out so strongly along these lines. The election of Harding and Coolidge was positively assured and the people went home filled with enthusiasm and assurance of the success of the Republicans, both in the state and the nation. The senator stated that this was the first instance in the history of the nation that a party out of power rallied to the president and the nation in the time of war. PEOPLE'S CHURCH GAVE VERY SUCCESSFUL CONCERT LAST TUESDAY AT CENTRAL PRESBYTERIAN. A rare musical treat was offered the public last Tuesday evening when a chorus of thirty voices of the People's Presbyterian church, assisted by the Olinger quartet, Morrison's orchestra and Mrs. Jessie Zackery, vocal soloist, gave a program that merited such commendation. Old plantation melodies and jubilee songs formed one of the features, and Mrs. Mable Berry, promet social worker, who gave several readings in dialect, and Mrs. Jessie Zackery contributed much to the rendition. The Olinger quartet lived up to its reputation, offering a rendition which always pleases. There was a good attendance and the proceeds were for the benefit of the People's church renovation.

Florida Mob Slays Four Negroes and Hunts Fifth. Great Days for Democracy. "These were the 'beautiful' head lines" in a white daily newspaper of the south when Ray Field, Ben Givens, Milton Smith were taken from the county jail at McClenny, Florida, and lynched last Tuesday evening, and the body of Sam Duncan was found in the woods riddled with bullets. Is it anything to wonder at that this crime increases, when the putting to death of Negroes in this nation resolves itself into the days of the savage of Rome, when the Coliseum afforded sports for the feeding to wild beasts in the arena the bodies of persons who professed the Christian religion? We ask in all earnestness: How can this nation escape punishment? Will she be the exception to the rule when Rome, Spain, England, France, Russia and recently Germany have paid the toll exacted from every nation that plays fast and loose with the civilization that we are taught is intended to uplift humanity and place us in the rank superior to the lower species of creation? It is all very well to hear from our leaders the old expression "Be patient;" it is helpful, possibly, to listen to the pleadings and exhortations from pulpits and platforms, restrums and stages, "Abide a little time," "Bear it with fortitude," but we are afraid if times does not hasten its action in giving the meritorious award to this lawless element of our American population, a turning point will be reached with a suddenness that will wring the heart of this nation now and for a long time to come. Our cry for relief from this cruel bondage will be heard by someone at sometime, and if ever there would be an eye witness to a nation's repentance, it will be when the repentant action of our country will find no solace or consolation in a forgiving agent. "Weeping may endure for a night," etc., says the good book. What about the joy, brother? Y. M. C. A. NOTES. It is nothing but life around the building now—life, life and more life. And the life has just begun. We are getting a large and splendid set of boys, both large and smaller boys. And every evening after school it is a joy to see them coming around entering into everything we have to offer. Mr. Townsend's coming to take up the work of city-wide secretary among our colored boys of Denver has greatly stimulated the interest of the boys. His pleasing personality and thorough knowledge of everything pertaining to the department has at once won the respect of the boys, and they know that great things are now at hand for them. Hereafter the program for the following week will be given in these notes. The fine, pleasant weather we have been having serves to keep the spirit of croquet as keenly alive as ever. The most exciting game of the week was played between Stripling and Maxwell on the one side, and King and Dr. Broyles on the other. All the players did surprisingly well and for a while the result was in doubt. Finally, by a purely "luck" shot, King became rover and the opposing players were soon outdistanced. Sims and Blakemore crossed mallets, but Sims was in fine condition and kept Blakemore continually beaten back from his position and rolled up a big score against him. Tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon our great Sunday meetings will begin in a great gathering at Shorter church. At that meeting the blue-printe containing the plans and specifications of the new building will be on exhibition, so that all may see and examine them. The meeting will begin at 3:30 o'clock. We trust that every man and boy and every woman and girl will come out to that meeting so as to see what is shortly in store for our people. Electric coupe in good condition Bargain.

AFRICAN NATIVES BUILD $50,000 HOMES, BUY AUTOS, WHEN COCOA BOOM COMES London, Oct. 4.—With a big cocoa boom on, untold wealth is being won by the natives of the gold coast, West Africa. More than 200 of them now run their own automobiles and another 200 are impatiently awaiting delivery of theirs. European style houses, costing in some instances as much as $50,000, have been built by the most prosperous. During the war astute Negroes bought cocoa at $50 a ton, and after the armistice they were able to sell it at $300. More than a hundred native shippers flourish in such towns as Seccondee and Accra. Even native women are bitten with the "get-rich-quick" craze, several having set up as brokers.

Main Street of Desdemona, Tex., Legion headquarters in lower part of white building at the right. IN BEHALF OF WAR-DISABLED | ATTENTION TO DISABLED MEN How a post of the American Legion purified a little oil-boom town in Texas when respect for law and order had become a mockery is told in the American Legion Weekly. Desdemona, Tex., was hardly more than a stop for wayfarers on the road, a slumbrous, dusty community, until oil came and the town took on new life and lured hosts of brawny adventurers. The treasure hunters came to prospect and pioneer, but, as is inevitably the case, there followed after them a horde of shifty-eyed gentry and red-lipped women. The word was passed out that the lid was off in Desdemona. Then the ring ran up against The American Legion. Individually for a long time the members of Peavy-Brice post tried quietly to combat the spread of vice in Desdemona. The ring, aided by the town constable, a deputy sheriff and the justice of the peace, decided that it would crush this organization of veterans who stood for ideals that were not compatible with places of unsavory repute. It began by threatening the Legionnaires with violence and when it found them unwilling to retaliate it grew more arrogant. The post quietly called a captain of Texas rangers from Austin. Mrs. Wendell Phillips Sails for Belgium to Represent Legion at Inter-Allied Meet. Mrs. Wendell Phillips has sailed for Belgium to represent the American Legion at the fourth inter-allied conference to study questions concerning the war-disabled. The Legion has led the fight to obtain more favorable treatment for the men who gave their health and strength in battle and has been responsible for the enactment and the proper administration of many Mary E. Mrs. Wendell Phillips. of the present laws looking toward the rehabilitation of wounded men. Following the sessions of the conference Mrs. Phillips will tour England, France and Italy studying the methods of the various governments. Mrs. Phillips served with the ambulance corps in the war and was wounded in action near Verdun. She spent five and one-half months in hospitals. She was decorated for gallantry by the French government and has been recommended to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, the highest reward for valor in the gift of the United States government. As president of the National Carry On association her work for the disabled is widely known. She is a member of Wendell Phillips post, New York city Voted for Cigarettes Anti-cigarette reformers met their Waterloo when a Legion post at Downers Grove, an exclusive suburb of Chicago, restored the banned "smokes" to the shelves of local stores by means of a referendum. The vote was almost two to one in favor of bringing back the cigarettes and more women voted for the restoration than against it. The captain found Desdemona in tumult. Armed members of the vice ring were parading through the streets in confident bravado. The post marshaled its forces and ordered the three offending "peace" officers of the town to leave within twenty-four hours. The latter returned a contemptuous refusal. Desdemona seethed. From oil fields and camps hundreds of men poured into town to be present when the ultimatum should expire. Eighteen Legionnaires were sworn in as deputy rangers and mingled with the crowd while the offending officers swaggered down the main street. Just as the time limit expired one unarmed member of the Legion post stepped up to the officers and ordered them to surrender. A dozen revolvers leaped from a dozen hips and all the bravado went out of the ring. The Legion deputies disarmed the leaders and marched them off to an office, where they wrote out their resignations as town officials. The next morning the roads from Desdemona were dotted with automobiles bearing the exodus of the sporting fraternity to newer and greener pastures. Desdemona was through with them. Many Posts Join in Campaign to Provide Aid and Care for Afflicted Ex-Service Boys. Quick response has been manifested by scores of posts of the Legion in the campaign launched by the Americanism commission to aid and care for disabled service men. Reports from all sections of the country tell of entertainments arranged for the wounded and of visits to the hospitals where they are confined. Eight service men who are now in the Fox Hills (N. Y.) hospital have been assigned to the Scarsdale post, which is planning to look after them following their discharge from the institution, while the New Haven (Conn.) post presents a weekly entertainment for the 400 veterans convalescing in the hospital in that city. Plans along similar lines are being carried out by the John Purroy Mitchell post of New York city, which has appointed a committee to advise and assist wounded men in the Pollinic hospital, and a group of patients from this institution are entertained each week at the Knollwood Country club at White Plains. The men are taken out into the country in motorcars. Henry J. Ryan, state Americanism chairman of Massachusetts, arranged an outing when many soldier convalescents in the hospitals in and around Boston were motored to a country estate in Chestnut Hill, where they were guests at a luncheon and a horse show was staged for their benefit.

Cheerful Sights Seen in Districts Ravaged by the Hun Hordes—New Villages Arising From Heaps of Ruins. La France is "an American magazine" which aims to promote Franco-American sympathy and understanding, says the New York Times, and is conducted by a group of public-spirited citizens. Recent numbers have contained notable records of the revival of agriculture and industry in the devastated region, photographs showing the progress which has been made in rebuilding churches and canals, and significant statistics as to the great recent increases in taxation, thanks to which France hopes to fund and eventually wipe out her war-time debt. Most impressive of all, however, is the story of a French failure as told by Claude Riviere. In certain devastated districts the villages had been so thoroughly pulverized and the soil so completely blasted that it seemed impossible to repopulate them. Not a house was remaining, nor a tree; and instead of the familiar green burbage there came "a curious yellowish grass, utterly unlike anything seen before in this part of the country." With a characteristically dramatic instinct, the authorities planned to keep these districts as they were, and especially such places as had been the scene of signal and memorable examples of German barbarity. They were to be an example and a warning—the "red zone." But these dramatists reckoned without their hero—and heroine. Deep in the heart of the zone rouge, amid scenes of "volcanic" devastation. M. Riviere saw through his field glass a tiny green square upon a distant hillside. It proved to be a cultivated field, "an oasis in the desert." Disregarding the new law which "protected" the zone rouge, a peasant had returned to the site of his old home, had himself removed the unexploded shells from his soil—24 of them were lined up by the road—and so he had established himself as a producer once more, if only on a tiny strip. "We have always plowed the land," he said to M. Riviere; "we must plow again." In what was once the village of Nanteuil la Fosse, M. Riviere found an old woman who was somehow managing to live alone in the dismal mud of her home, though she had to walk ten miles to buy food. She said simply that she wanted to die in her own nose—"Je veux mourir dans ma maison." A more cheerful sight in the zone rouge is a village which formerly housed 800 people, all but five of whom have returned. A correspondent of the London Times bears similar witness. The most recent battlefield guide book contains a picture entitled, "All That Is Left of Hooge—the Signboard." But the traveler finds that a new Hooge is already rising upon this site of so many bitter scenes in the battles for Ypres. Even the local guides have their troubles. One of them, having announced to his tourists that Guillemont was so completely destroyed that no attempt could ever be made to rebuild it, discovered upon reaching the site that four houses had been erected in his brief absence, and were already occupied, the children playing in the streets. From the nation to which such things are possible much is to be expected. Heroic as it was in war, it has equal vigor and tenacity in the arts of peace. Restoring Stonehenge. Now that Stonehenge, the grandest and most mysterious monument in Britain, has become the property of the nation, the government is putting it to careful and painstaking repair in order to prevent the ultimate collapse of its mighty "hanging stones." It was five years ago that Sir Edward Antrobus, a Wiltshire baronet, sold the ancient monument to E. H. E. Chubb of Salisbury for $33,000, and it was two years ago when Mr. Chubb presented his purchase to the British government. The war was then still on and the office of works, to whose care it fell, had other things to think about, but now that the war is ended the office of works has speedily set about the task of preserving the great monoliths of Stonehenge. Half a dozen men under the direction of Sir Frank Baines of the office of works, are making the ancient circle of stones look as it did when it was completed by the sun worshipers of Salisbury plain some 3,000 years ago. Camels Hard Hit by War. According to the report of the veterinary section of the war department of Great Britain, the loss of animals in the war was much lower in proportion than the loss of men, amounting to less than 15 per cent. This is the lowest percentage of any war in which England every took part. The total number of animals lost by the English during the war was 484,143, including 5,589 that were drowned or died at sea. England's greatest loss was in camels, 22,812 of which were killed. This is accounted for by the fact that the camels were always used in the most dangerous positions and subjected to the greatest hardships. Of the camels used in Mesopotamia during the last year of the war 86.5 per cent were killed or died from exposure. A. HASER, Prop.

CANNERS ADVISED TO PUT MORE FOOD AND LESS LIQUID IN CANS More Food and Less Liquid in These Containers. ```markdown ``` Packed as Full as Practicable Without Injury to Quality. The "gospel of the full can" is being preached to commercial canners by the United States department of agriculture, through its bureau of chemistry, which enforces the federal food and drugs act, commonly called the "Pure Food Law." Inspectors of the bureau of chemistry advise that all cans of food should be packed as full as practicable without injury to quality. They also advise housewives and other purchasers to note the relative amounts of solids and liquids in the cans they buy, and to give preference to the products of firms that seem to want to give a square deal to the home larder. Examinations of a large number of cans put up by different firms reveal a wide divergence in this particular. The bureau of chemistry specialists have made investigations to determine exactly how much solid food—food from which the liquid has been drained—may be put up in the cans of different sizes in common use without in any way injuring the quality of the product. A certain amount of liquid which carries with the different Packed as Full as Practical WISE HOUSEKEEPERS TO USE LESS SUGAR Usual Amount of Canning of Fruits and Vegetables. Abundant Supply of Sugar Is Predicted for Next Winter—High Prices Have Encouraged Increased Planting of Cane. It will be wisdom on the part of housekeepers to can the usual amount of fruit and vegetables this year, even if part or all of the fruit must be canned without sugar, according to a statement issued by the United States department of agriculture. From all present indications, sugar will be more abundant next winter, when the fruit will be used on the table, the department says. There will apparently be an increased acreage of both cane and beet sugar this year in the United States, Cuba and in other countries in the northern hemisphere. The rise in the price of sugar has encouraged increased plantings of cane and beets. In spite of a world shortage of sugar and a decrease of 400,000,000 pounds in domestic production, there has been used or hoarded during the current year in the United States 15 per cent more sugar than in former years. In fact, a greater supply of sugar than ever before has been handled in this country during the past few months with net imports 25 per cent, or over 1,000,000,000 pounds, greater than in any previous period. It is obvious, therefore, that there has been no actual sugar shortage here this year. The difficulties encountered have arisen from the inability of the consumer to secure his share of the supply. Unless enormously increased amounts have been consumed, the trouble must be laid to hoarding and it is very evident that large quantities are being held for future use both housewives and commercial concerns. During the past 50 years the consumption of sugar in the United States has steadily increased, at an average annual rate of one pound per year, until in the last few years the average yearly per capita consumption for all purposes is between 85 and 90 pounds. This compares with a per capita consumption of 58.9 pounds in 1899. The increased consumption of sugar by the soft drink, candy and ice-cream industries during recent years has helped raise the total average, but to what extent is not known. products, is necessary. The addition of more liquid than is necessary results in less food in the can, make an inferior product, wastes shipping and storing space, and is unfair to the consumer. An honest pack promotes fair dealing, conserves containers, food and shipping facilities, and aids the development of the canning industry. Quantity in Each Can. The quantity of drained food, which is the solid food exclusive of liquid, that can be put more efficiently and economically in each of the various sized cans in common use, has been determined for peas, beans, cherries, pears and peaches, and the canning industry been advised of the results. In making a declaration of contents on cans of fruits and vegetables under the net weight requirement of the federal food and drugs act, the total weight of the contents of the can, liquid included, should be declared. Complete information regarding the application of the federal food and drugs act to canned fruits and vegetables will be sent upon application to the United States department of agriculture.

The baby should usually be completely weaned at the end of the first year. Up to this time breast milk should be given to the baby as long as it thrives. It is better, when possible, to continue nursing through the summer and to wean in the fall, but if the year has not been completed in the spring, it is better to wean in the summer than in the spring. Do not wean the baby suddenly; it should be done gradually by replacing one breast feeding at a time with a bottle feeding. Several weeks are required for weaning. It is dangerous to wean a young baby. It should not be done for the convenience of the mother and should never be done without the advice of a physician. TO CLEAN NICKEL ARTICLES Wash Frequently in Hot Soapy Water and Dry With Soft Cloth—Whit ing Can Be Used. Nickel and nickel-plated articles do not tarnish so readily as silver. Washing them frequently with hot soapy water and drying them with soft cloth or paper will usually keep them in good condition. Whiting, or some other fine scourer, may sometimes be used to brighten nickel that has become dull, but such a condition often means that the surface is scratched or the plating broken. Replating is the only remedy in such cases. Household Questions Remove the burned surface of bread with a grater. Slip covers for the furniture are desirable in summer. Do not place cold jars, either filled or unfilled, in hot water. Amber or gold is easier on the eyes than any other color for a lamp shade or bulb. For paring or cutting vegetables a knife with a blade only three inches long is best. THE KITCHEN CABINET (©. 1920. Western Newspaper Union.) This world that we're a-livin' in is mighty hard to beat.

Allow one pint of cider vinegar to three plums of grape pulp. Place in a kettle with two pounds of sugar and a bag containing the following spices: Two teaspoonfuls each of alispice, salt, cinnamon, cloves and white pepper. Boll until reduced to one-half the bulk, then bottle and seal. Walnut Graham Bread.—Take one cupful of flour, two and one-half cupfuls of graham flour, one-half cupful of molasses, two cupfuls of sour milk, two well-beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of soda and one cupful of chopped walnut meats. Mix and bake as usual. Rice and Almond Cream.—Blanch one-half cupful of almonds and cut them in thin strips. Put into a double boiler with the almonds three cupfuls of milk, one-fourth of a cupful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of salt and, when hot, one cupful of well-washed rice. Cook until the rice is tender. When ready to serve dip it out into sheerb cupts with whipped cream on top and garnished with apple jelly. Salmon Salad.—Flake a little left-over salmon, add to a clear lemon jelly made without sugar. Put a thin slice of lemon in the bottom of an individual mold and fill with seasoned jellied salmon. Serve unmolded on lettuce with mayonnaise dressing. Nuts With Tomatoes.—Mix one cupful of nuts chopped (any variety preferred) with two cupfuls of bread crumbs. Molsten with cream, season with salt, pepper and grated nutmeg. Mix the whole thoroughly, then beat in the yolks of three eggs and the stiffly beaten white of one. Spread the bottom of a platter with this mixture and on it arrange whole tomatoes. Dot with bits of butter and bake in a moderate oven. Serve with a butter sauce.

Thousands of women annually are disappointed, often discouraged and decide never to enter a contest again, because of a lack of understanding of the requirements of entry and often because of poor judgment in decisions provided by the judge enter a contest again, because of a lack of understanding of the requirements of entry and often because of poor judgment in decisions rendered by the judge. A woman may be a marvelous cook and good housekeeper, yet not be able to scientifically and justly judge foods, because of lack of training. Take jelly for example—flavor, consistency, transparency and general appearance all must be considered. A score card worked out by those qualified by training as well as experience should be the criterion by which all judging should be done. We have all heard some very good cook remark over a glass of very opaque and altogether poor jelly: "This is the kind of jelly I like." Such a person for a judge will give the premiums to the kind of jelly she likes, thinking it is the best product. Unless we like the standardized perfect article, or will keep our likes in the background, we are unfitted to judge foods. There should be an effort made at every fair to explain the score card for judging, so that every person who has an exhibit may know why she did not win and why some other woman did. In places where this method has been followed the women strive to reach the standards set and the following year a marked improvement is shown in the quality of exhibits. Here are a few of the many things to be remembered by the amateur in jelly making: The fruit must never be used after a heavy rain as it will be watery and tasteless. When using fruits which lack pectin, or the thickening quality which makes the fruit jell, apple or other fruit juices rich in pectin may be combined with the juice of such fruits, as strawberry, which lack it. The white pulp of the orange or lemon cooked for an hour or more in water to cover may be used in small quantities to thicken jelly. This may be bottled and kept. There should be a standard score card used for all other foods, such as bread, cake, doughnuts, cookies, ples or other made dishes. All state universities have worked out or accepted score cards for the judging of foods which may be obtained free by writing for them, or the department at Washington will furnish them.

THE WINTER COAT EVER since the curtain rose on the drama of fall and winter fashions the discerning, practical woman has found reason to congratulate herself in the matter of coat styles. They are of a simplicity that warrants their wear everywhere and of a beauty that makes gind the heart. Some of them are nothing more than capes with sleeves added, all of them are cut in long and almost unbroken lines, except those made of fabrics that imitate furs, which follow the lines of the coats made of skins. Velours, duvetyn, bolivia, and similar soft and pliable cloths give grace and comfort to the coats for this winter, and high fur collars, that fit smugly, top them off with the luxury of fur. Occasionally there are cuffs of fur, and where there is no fur at all, very ample nuffler collars of cloth, or crepe collars, provide the same suggestion of comfort, aided by the fact that coats are long enough to reach to the bottom of the dress skirt. Two Suits We Two Suits Worthy of Note M THOSE who are partial to long coats and to double-breasted models will approve the handsome suit at the left of the two shown here. With the authority of a great Parisian name back of it, it can take its place among many companions, with shorter coats, secure in the knowledge of its origin and its fine style. It is made of velours in one of those new strong blue shades, and black caracul fur never found a more effective background to serve as a foli to its richness. Paquin is among those who have sponsored the long coat, and she is not alone. In this coat there is at least a hint of the Russian inspiration. It fastens with a single large and handsome button at the left side, its collar of caracul is very wide, and its deep pointed pockets of fur are finished with two buttons and a long tassel on each. The loose, narrow belt is extended into a girdle and looped over at the front, after the manner of belts generally, and the plain skirt also follows the mode attending the increased Designers who must produce variety while they preserve simplicity of line introduce ingenious cutting and unusual management of details and accessories for this purpose. An example appears in the handsome cloth coat shown in the picture, in which capacious pockets are formed by means of panels inserted under arms. These pockets are curved at the top and finished with machine stitching. The second coat is one of those woven fur garments that look so much like sealskin. Women who like the richness of fur, but have scruples against it ought to be pleased with this model, for it is hard to distinquish the fabric from the pelt. Real fur is used for the wide collar, plain cuffs, and shaped bands on the pockets, and there are many kinds that might be employed, as skunk, squirrel, fox, beaver. The coat hangs almost straight, with a slight flare toward the bottom at the back, emphasized by a band of fur placed as a border. orthy of Note length of skirts to at least the shoe tops. The suit at the right is as unusual as to its coat, as its companion. This coat is noteworthy because of its full, rippled skirt, which begins at the front by adopting the average length of coat, but adds both length and fullness as it progresses toward the back. Imagine it in brown cheviot with the large motifs about the waistline embroidered in silk to match, or in any other of the season's favorite colors that look well with sealskin, which is used for the wide collar. It has a narrow belt of the material, which follows the lap-across fashion at the front. In this suit, as in the majority of others, the skirt, it almost goes without saying, is plain, a little longer and a little wider than those that preceded it in the early fall.
