LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY BETTER EDUCATION PLANNED FOR NEGRO RURAL MINISTERS Negroes of South Carolina and Georgia Are Improving Their Homes, Schools and Churches—"Increase and Spread of Knowledge Is the Basis of Progress"—Sacrifices Made for Colored Youth. VOL. XXVII. BETTER EDUCATION FOR NEGRO Negroes of South Carolina Their Homes, Schools a Spread of Knowledge Is rifices Made for Colored (By Wm. Anthony Aery.) HAMPTON, VA. — Community day at the Bettis Academy Minis- ters' Institute proved to be "chicken day" in the sand-hill country six or eight miles from Trenton, S. C., which is not far from the late Senator Tillman's home. Fifty upstanding, prosperous-looking, devoted colored women from the Mt. Canaan Baptist church, which is a rural church with a membership of 1,500, brought their long, low, wooden baskets, richly laden with fried chicken and ham, pies, cakes, biscuits, freshly-cooked vegetables — tomatoes, cabbages, lima beans and corn—and hominy, to say nothing of watermelons and good old-fashioned muskmelons (not small, modern cantaloupes). They fed at home-made tables the 100 Negro rural preachers and forty-odd church workers who had assembled to receive valuable instruction from white and colored teachers — from southerners and northerners — from friends of struggling men and women. Dr. James Hardy Dillard of Charlottesville, Va., former dean of Tulane University in New Orleans and present president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, which aim to improve Negro rural elementary and secondary schools, offered the blessing at this preachers' community-day feast. Meanwhile the faithful, generous colored women, dressed neatly and listening attentively, formed a hollow human square about the delighted, hungr, expectant ministers who had traveled miles and miles over rough, muddy, red-clay roads to get new ideas and fresh inspiration. Some ministers had come 150 miles, others 200 miles, and one almost 300 miles. Dr. Dillard and a number of associates came to Bettis Academy for their second ministers' institute. The summer experience in 1919 had proved the usefulness and feasibility of bringing together for study those Negro rural preachers who were ambitious to give their congregations a fuller measure of social and religious service. Dr. Dillard and his party received on both occasions the cordial support of Negroes for miles and miles about this pioneer school, which has spread unfailingly the gospel of racial goodwill. Negro neighbors for days and days kept sending to Alfred W. Nicholson, principal of Bettis Academy, dozens upon dozens of chickens of fryer size, bushels upon bushels of potatoes and beans, and small wagon loads of cabages and corn, as well as generous supplies of beef, lamb and veal. Even a kid was presented as a gift to feed the visiting instructors! These thrifty, ambitious, isolated Negroes of South Carolina, in spite of poor schools and a deficient social life, have been steadily making money and slowly improving their homes, schools and churches. They show signs of new life and hope as the result of the coming of Dr. Dillard and his New Educational Life. Principal Nicholson also conducts a summer school for ambitious colored teachers, many of whom are struggling bravely, not only to teach boys and girls the rudiments of education, but also extend the school terms to five and six months. These South Carolina Negro teachers were greatly encouraged by the recent visit of the state superintendent of education, Hon. J. E. Swearingen of Columbia, S. C., and J. B. Felton, state agent for colored schools in South Carolina. Both of these white educational officers expressed deep interest in the work of Negro teachers and ministers. Both men spoke sympathetically and encouragingly, on the value and need of sound public education, to the Negro ministers and the 120 teachers who were attending the 1920 summer session at Bettis Academy. Superintendent Swearingen, who is a nephew of the late Senator Tillman of South Carolina and himself a plantation owner, declared his faith in teaching people "to wash themselves clean, to work hard and to tell the truth." He gave facts to prove the economic improvement which has come to the South, including the Negroes of the South. "Cotton, which sold for $25 a bale in 1914, brought $250 a bale last season," said Superintendent Swearingen. "Last year South Carolina spent $42,000,00 for automobiles, accessories and gasoline; but only $4,500,000 on education. Last year the people of South Carolina sold crops worth $500,000,000—half of which went to Negroes; but only 1 per cent was put into education." Help for Worthy Leaders. The ministers' institute program at Bettis Academy follows: "How to Make a Sermon," Dr. James E. Gregg principal of Hampton Institute; "The Minister and His Correspondence," B. C. Caldwell of New Orleans, field secretary of the Jeanes and Slater Boards; "The Church and the Neighborhood," Jackson Davis of Richmond, Va., field agent of the General Education Board; "Church Records and Finance," W. T. B. Williams of Tuskegee Institute, field secretary of the Jeanes and Slater Boards; "Sunday-school Work," Rev. Laurence Fenninger, chaplain of Hampton Institute; and "Bible Interpretation," Dr. J. H. Dillard. Addresses were also delivered by the Rev. G. Lake Imes of Tuskegee Institute on "Rural Church Problems." Philip B. Warner of Columbia, S. C., executive secretary of the South Carolina Tuberculosis Association, on "Christianity and Health"; Dr. C. E. Burts of South Carolina on "Church Efficiency"; and James L. Quimby, a well-known merchant of Graniteville, S. C., and life-long friend of Principal Nicholson, on "How to Make the Church Live." Negro teachers and ministers of South Carolina in coming together at Bettis Academy learned that they had many problems in common. They also learned how they could make greater progress without coming into conflict with their white neighbors. These race leaders are learning to solve their problems through applied Christian education. Confidence in Dr. Dillard. The strong, Christian personality and leadership of Dr. Dillard pervaded the entire work of bringing together helpfully the Negro rural ministers, both of South Carolina and Georgia, who are powerful forces in Southern community life and who need sympathetic, frank counsel, if they are to hold their present leadership among Negroes, many of whom have begun to look to their school teachers, lawyers, business men and fraternal order officers for some guidance in the everyday affairs of community life. Dr. Dillard said: "What a blessing it is to be here together! We meet as friends. The obligation rests upon all of us to get all that we can so that we can help bring to our communities the same spirit of brotherhood and good-will that we have here. Ours is the spirit of fellowship and friendship. "One colored man came sixty miles from Laureens County to talk over the educational problems in his county. I know of no state in which the colored people have a keener sense of the value of education than in the state of South Carolina. During the past twelve years I have received many letters concerning education. Probably nine out of every ten letters concerning Negro education in South Carolina have come from Negro preachers, who have thus shown their interest in public education. The South Carolina leg- DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 13 1920 State Hist. & Nat Hist Hoe State House ABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, islature has given the colored state normal school at Orangeburg $100,000 out of tax funds. Superintendent Swearingen wants every child to have a fair educational opportunity. "The basis of progress is the increase and the spread of knowledge. Men must learn how to do better work, think better, pray better, and live better lives. Religion must be an intelligent religion, if it is to be the kind of religion that Christ would have." Dr. Dillard, in his brief closing address, said: "We have all had a good week. We all want to grow. What we really are, after all, is what counts for most. Righteous living can best be shown by our daily lives. Our business is to apply faith, hope, and charity here and now. God is on the side of right. Hope gives us courage. Go on in the struggle for good homes, good schools, and good churches—for all the people." "Honor to Whom Honor." The constructive work, which is rapidly going on throughout the South, especially in the kindred fields of education and religion, is closely linked to the past and, indeed, is given added significance by the vitalizing presence of a small but interesting group of aged Negroes—men and women of real wisdom, born of wide experience in the ways of the world, and of strong Christian faith, born of severe trials. These aged, wise Negroes, with their eyes set clearly "toward the better world," as they delight to repent, know well the terrible struggles and bitter disappointments through which white and black people alike have come in the South during the past fifty or sixty years. At the Bettis Academy Institute there were present two such venerable Negroes—Solomon Simmons and Michael Morgan. Solomon Simmons, who was born in 1837, was owned by Frank Pickens, war governor of South Carolina and a very wealthy planter, and was given as a deed of trust to the governor's eldest grandson. Simmons went into the war with James Lipscomb of Newberry, S. C., and played the role of faithful body servant. Finally Mrs. Lipscomb wrote urgently for the return of Simmons to take care of her and the Lipscomb children, offering to send to the war another faithful servant, if only trustworthy and efficient Simmons, beloved of white and colored people, could be released to help care for the home folks and their pressing needs. When freedom came, Lipscomb offered Simmons several choices. Simmons, after visiting his mother, who lived twenty-five miles away, decided to remain on the home plantation for a year and cultivate a small plot of corn, for which service he received a small amount of ready cash. Referring to his dealings with Governor Pickens' grandson, Simmons said with pride: "He kept his word, and I kept mine." Today Solomon Simmons, at the age of 83, is living with his nephew on a farm which his mother had bought during the second year of freedom. He plows and hoes—and occasionally preaches "when called." He rejoices in his ability to cultivate corn and cotton—or, as he prefers to say, "COTTON—and corn"—for to him cotton still is king. Simmons' nephew is an upstanding Negro of 45, who is a farmer and a teacher, a graduate of Bettis Academy. The relations between uncle and nephew show the respect of the old Negro for the land and of the so-called new Negro for land, work, and education. Looking Backward. Michael Morgan, who was 85 years old in April, 1920, still preaches and farms. "While some old fellows are put on the trash heap, I mean to keep at work," said Morgan, who was also one of Pickens' house servants. . . . "Governor Pickens," he said, "had so many slaves he didn't even know them when he met them on the road. He decided he would mark his slaves with strange hats—hats that were short before and long behind. He made his slaves, when they were dressed up, wear short coats with big brass buttons. He had three plantations below Saluda, three at Edgefield, and some others, too. He didn't object to his slaves learning to read and write. He was good to colored people and didnt allow the overseers to abuse colored women." What did the Negro rural ministers and teachers think of the Bettis Acad- emy Institute? Rev. Caleb Griffen said: "Brothers, you wait until I get to Mt. Olive on Sunday! If you can't preach, send for Griffen!" Professor Hightower said: "For many years I didn't believe white folks had any religion. Now I believe there are sincere Christian men among white people." The ministers, speaking through their committee on resolutions, expressed their appreciation of the services rendered by Dr. Dillard and his party and by Principal Nicholson and his faithful, hard-working, unselfish associates. Institute in Georgia. A similar institute for Negro rural ministers was held at the County Training School, Forsyth, Georgia, which is in charge of William M. Hubbard, a faithful colored leader who has been struggling for twenty years to bring educational opportunities within the reach of worthy Georgia Negroes. In 1900 Professor Hubbard came to Forsyth in order that his wife's health might be improved. The Negroes in Forsyth at that time had no school facilities, except a one-room cabin in which a single teacher taught school at $20 to $25 a month for five months each year. One of the local Negro ministers asked Professor Hubbard to remain in Forsyth and "stir an educational pride." Professor Hubbard worked for a year without receiving any pay. Finally, through the Rev. Dr. William S. Beard, of the American Missionary Association, who had helped Professor Hubbard struggle through Fisk for an education, a yearly salary allowance of $300 was secured for this unselfish Nego leader. For fourteen years the American Missionary Association made an appropriation of $300 to Professor Hubbard's work. For the first two years of his educational struggle in Forsyth, Professor Hubbard received no money from the local public school treasury. Indeed he had to invest his own small savings in the school to keep the work from falling utterly! Little by little, however, Professor Hubbard was able to bring the local school officials in contact with this pioneer work. At last he won public support. The early appropriations from public funds were very small—only $150 per school term; now they are very much larger—$3,700 per school term. The County Training School has for several years been receiving financial aid through the Slater Board and the General Education Board. The white people of Forsyth are coming to see more and more clearly the value of Professor Hubbard's work and are willing to make even larger appropriations. Professor Hubbard has won and kept the confidence of white and colored townpeople. Last year the County Training School at Forsyth employed nine teachers, had a school term of nine months, and helped to train 427 boys and girls for more useful American citizenship. Last year some forty boys produced farm crops which had a market value of more than $10,000. Professor Hubbard persuaded his boys to put their money in the bank or invest it wisely. He refrained from taking anything for himself. What has been the result? White and colored people, for example, joined some months ago in buying Professor Hubbard a fine automobile. These same citizens look with pride upon their Negro County Training School and regard it as an important community center. These citizens were glad to have Dr. Dillard hold a ministers' institute at Forsyth. The institute, like the one at Bettis Academy, was undenominational and inspiration. The Negro ministers were encouraged by Dr. Dillard and his co-workers to present freely the vital questions which arise in the work of making the country church minister more satisfactorily to the economic, educational, social, and religious needs of their respective communities. No one can doubt the sincerity of these words of appreciation from Professor Hubbard: "The good of the Preachers' Institute, held at Forsyth, is being felt. Every preacher who attended says that he was much benefited. Dr. Bivens has spoken from his pulpit in commendation of the conference. He is very certain that an everlasting good has been accomplished by it. Dr. Bivens joins heartily in the request with the colored preachers for the institute next year." RACE NEWS Gathered From Various Sources New York, N. Y., October 12.—Master Ivan Premdas, the eleven-year-old son of Mr. Philip Premdas, the chief clerk of the Black Star Line, won a Queens' College scholarship in Demerara. He will get free tuition for four years and $10 a quarter for books. Although in poor health, in competition with all of the other children, he won the highest mark in the examination. TENNESSEE TOWN ELECTS COLORED ALDERMAN Cleveland, Tenn., Oct.—In the municipal election held here last Tuesday, Dr. T. E. Stevens, prominent local colored physician was elected alderman of the third ward, and the remarkable part about the situation is, he led the ticket over all his white opponents. He received 107 votes and his closest opponent received seventy-six votes. The vote of the women figured prominently, they having cast a majority of the votes. Dr. Stevens has been active in affairs of the city for a number of years, having come here from Jellico, Tenn., where he was a member of the city port of practically all of the members board of health. He received the sup of the race, as well as many of the white people. COLORED BOYS FIND $200,000 IN CHECKS ON INDIAN GRAVE. Mail Pouch From Kansas City Bank Had Been Ripped Open and Abandoned. Okmulgee, Okla., Oct. 29.—Two Negro boys playing near an Indian cemetery just north of Okmulgee today found a mail pouch containing scores of letters, in some of which checks aggregating nearly $200,000 and letters were strewn about an Indian grave. The pouch had been ripped open remittance had not been received. The boys reported their discovery to the police, who learned that practically every bank in Okmulgee had received telegrams from their correspondents in Kansas City this morning advising them that their Monday remittance had not been received. Until these telegrams were received, Another message of appreciation from Professor Nicholson follows: "I find that you have worked a greater influence for good and for the Christion training of our ministers and the people than you have any idea of. You have brought them what they were unable to get elsewhere. You have reached the masses and they are grateful. They are discussing you and the conference far and near. They are expressing their desire to continue the work which you and your good co-workers are doing for their benefit. Our people are hungry for the light which God is sending through you and this movement. Our people are thoroughly awake to their need of this training and they are full of appreciation and gratitude for it." Negro leaders of Georgia and South Carolina, as shown by these institutes, have clearly made up their minds that they will get rid of ignorance and will make the schools and churches minister more directly to the community. They are self-respecting and loyal citizens. They have at heart the interests of their own people and also the interests of good white people. They are valuable assets which the white South, as never before, is coming to appreciate. — The Southern Workman, published by Hampton Institute. NO.5 postoffice officials here had not known that the pouch was missing. Greenville, S. C., Nov. 5.—Children have been driven from schools and women forced to leave housework following the warning of the Ku Klux Klan and White Caps that all members of our race must enter the cotton fields as pickers. Teachers are not excluded in the general round up. They must abandon work and enter the fields along with their students, or leave the community within the next twent-four hours, the petition, or warning, stated. The order, however, does not effect the white children and teachers. The first arrests in South Carolina as a result of the action of "night riders" in warning cotton gins to close until the price of cotton advances were made at Junction City. Jake and Ben Burton (white) were taken itno custody charged with posting warnings on cotton gins at that place. CHEYENNE, WYO. NEWS Some weeks ago Rev. C. O. Smith tendered his resignation to the officers and members of the Second Baptist church, to take effect on Nov. 1st. At the regular church meeting last Friday evening, Rev. Smiths resignation was indefinitely tabled. It is not the desire of the members of the church nor the Christian citizens to dispense with Rev. Smith's services. The city needs ministers who stand for right-eousness. The moral welfare of a community depends upon the stand taken by the church and its ministry. Mrs. Frank McCombs is a visitor in the city. Rev. J. M. Endicott delivered a stirring appeal to his church membership to join with the Civic League to assist in civic work and discussions tending to uplift. Rev. Endicott will possibly make many more appeals before some of our people will understand that it is better to attend the meeting than to pay for a privilege to go places where they are not wanted. Mrs. Betty Davis of Pineville, Ky., writes a letter to Rev. C. O. Smith, inquiring the whereabouts of her son, Elijah Davis. Last heard from him at Cheyenne last December.

The banks find millions of dollars in bills they are unable to collect and a number of firms already have entered bankruptcy. The question of the legal rights of Madame Manos, morganatic wife of the late King Alexander, seems likely to create some difficulty, according to leading jurists of Athens. Her attorney asked the court to remove the seals from the apartments of the dead king, asserting Madame Manos, thru her marriage, and also because of her approaching motherhood, would inherit Alexander's property. The shortage and high prices of bread in Argentine will be relieved through an agreement entered into by the government and the millers whereby the government's stock of approximately 120,000 tons will be released at a price amounting to about half the current quotation. This decision was reported after the closing of a number of mills due to lack of grain and the increase of the price of bread to record figures. The spectacular rush of hundreds of oil prospectors to the far north where "strikes" have been reported, has caused the Canadian government to revive the old grubstake ordinances of Yukon days. As the situation threatens to become serious, it is proposed to prevent those who go in from becoming charges upon the Royal Canadian mounted police. Therefore, only those in physical condition to stand the rigors of an arctic winter and with enough "grub" to keep them will be permitted to go.

The shooting occurred during a raid upon the inn. Albert Ellis, alleged murderer of 18-year-old Edna Ellis, his former sweetheart, is in jail in St. Louis, awaiting the action of the grand jury. The alleged confession followed three hours of steady questioning by authorities during which they disproved an alibb that Ellis spent the morning following the murder with an acquaintance. Jealousy was given as the motive for the murder. The body of Edna Ellis, a pretty telephone operator, was found in a vacant lot. She had been slashed numerous times with a razor. His memory completely obliterated and his own name and identity lost somewhere in the shadow of his own mind, an amnesia victim, believed to be James Morton, was claimed at Indianapolis, Ind., by Mrs. James Morton of Cleveland, Ohio, as her husband. The Rockefeller Foundation at New York announced a gift to the state of Louisiana of the 85,000-acre Grand Chenir wild life refuge, purchased from individual holders in 1914 and since under supervision of the Louisiana department of conservation. The tract, in Cameron and Vermillion parishes, Louisiana, was bought as a contribution to the country's wild life preservation. Governor Morrow of Kentucky pardoned Fess Whitaker, jailer of Letcher county, who was elected a county judge while serving a sentence in the jail over which he had charge. Whitaker was convicted of attacking county officers. Governor Morrow, it was said at the state house, took the position that Whitaker, although in jail, led his opponent by more than 1,000 votes and that such popular indorsement was sufficient ground for issuing a pardon. Following a custom less formally observed through all the centuries since the works of Anaxagoras was relegated to the top shelf to make room for those of Aesop, the electors of the New York University Hall of Fame announced the dedication of a niche to Mark T.rain.

The Kansas Supreme Court in a sweeping decision upheld the anti-cigarette law, which forbids not only the smoking of cigarettes but the possession of cigarette or even cigarette papers. The court's decision was based on verdicts handed down by courts in Illinois and Tennessee. The point raised in the appeal was that the state did not have authority to forbid possession of cigarettes when it permitted the sale of tobacco in other forms. WASHINGTON Selection of Abraham I.

Mr. Wilson was taken to the hospital at Ouray. Practically every department in the city government of Colorado Springs presented requests for additional appropriations for the remainder of this year when the City Council met. The total amount needed, according to the estimates, is $6,873.82 in addition to $1,265.74 already expended for necessary outlays not included in the year's budget. The primary object of the mining convention in Denver is the revival of mining. From 1913 to 1920 seven typical Colorado mining counties showed a decrease of about $20,000,000 in valuation assessment for taxation purposes. This decrease has to be made up for by other counties. Every taxpayer in Colorado is interested in the revival of mining. Unusual alarm is felt by the beet growers of the country near Montrose that the large crop will be a total loss unless a host of laborers are procured at once to harvest the large crop before it is frozen in the ground. While virtually the entire crop in the eastern section of the state has been harvested, only a small percentage has been marketed there. While it may not be the most desirable occupation in the world, because of being under the control of the state at all times and subject to a call to any remote part of Colorado, the position of official state trapper proved a profitable occupation for John Platz, near Estes Park, after over four months of service, came out with a cash balance of a little over $1,600, or more than $400 per month.

State lands aggregating 6,900 acres, sold at public auction in the state capitol, brought a total of $144,200, according to John F. Vivian, register of the state land board. The lands were located in seven counties and the average price was $21.84 per acre. One block of 160 acres of irrigated land, located in the Rio Grande county, brought $100 per acre. This was one of the biggest sales conducted by the state board in several months. Forty-four counties in Colorado will get $118,512 from national forest business in the Rocky Mountain district of the United States Forest Service during the fiscal year 1920. Thirty-two counties in Wyoming, South Dakota, Nebraska, Michigan and Minnesota will share $95,120. The total amount turned over to the several states from this source in 1919 was $197,074. The money goes to road and school purposes. Due to the increase and shifting of population in Colorado during the past ten years, the four-district congressional map may have its boundaries considerably changed by reapportments of the new Congress, which will be made after the decennial census is officially announced. A reapportionment of the representation in the State Legislature also is believed to be a probability, in view of the greatly increased population of certain farming districts and the decrease in mining communities.

Fire of undetermined origin destroyed the machine shop, tool house and stationery supply building of the Denver & Salt Lake railroad (the Moffat road), at Utah Junction, two miles north of Globeville. The total loss is estimated at nearly $1,000,000, according to W. R. Freeman, receiver for the road. Half of the loss is covered by insurance. The roundhouse adjoining the three buildings which were burned was saved from destruction by the prompt action of the night crew employed in the structure. Three locomotives, valued at $200,000, tools inventoried recently for $100,000, two boxcars, dynamos, electric motors and shop equipment formed the chief loss in the blaze. The structures, which were of frame construction, burned like tinder. They were a total loss. Efforts to extinguish the flames proved futile, and volunteer workers on the scene confined their activities to preventing the spread of the flames to adjoining structures. Gasoline and acetylene tanks used for welding purposes in the shops exploded when the fire had reached its height, throwing flaming embers high into the sky and sending hundreds of curious onlookers scurrying for shelter. COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West Sugar beet production in Colorado this year will be the largest on record in any state in the country, according to reports from county assessors announced yesterday by the state immigration department. These reports show about 250,000 acres devoted to the crop. It is estimated the crop will bring $32,880,000 on a production of 2,740,000 tons. This is the third crop in the state in point of value, being surpassed only by wheat and hay. However, it is predicted that the value of the corn crop, including silage and forage, will be very close to that of sugar beets. The Custer Peak section of the Denver-Deadwood highway has just been completed under the supervision of the United States Forest Service, Allen S. Peck, district forester, announced yesterday, and the road is ready for use. The Custer Peak section of this interstate highway is said to embrace about seven miles of the most scenic part in the Western states. The cost was $50,000 and the project was part of the program for the United States Forest Service to improve the entire line of travel between Denver and Deadwood, S. D. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Cultivated area in Colorado has increased 143.5 per cent in the past decade, according to statistics compiled by the State Immigration Department, it was announced by Howard D. Sullivan, deputy commissioner. County assessors' reports show approximately 2,000,000 acres were under irrigation in the state this year, out of a total cultivated area of approximately 5,600,000 acres. In 1909 the census bureau reported 1,629,604 acres under irrigation, and a total cultivated area of 2,300,000 acres. Mrs. Stella Francis, who shot and killed her husband, Roy Francis, last Wednesday, was exonerated by the coroner's jury at Greeley. The jury's verdict stated the shooting was in self defense. Evidence showed Francis had not only threatened his wife with death, but also their two small children. Examination of the man's pistol and cartridges revealed he had tried to shoot his wife six times, but had failed through weakness of the gun spring. A total of $17,823,700 has been paid out of the state treasury for all purposes in the period from Jan. 1, 1919, to Nov. 1, 1920, according to a report made by the state auditor to Governor Shoup. Auditor Stong's report shows that of this amount $12,801,808.51 was paid out in cash, $776,816.84 on the capitol building, $262,531.30 in compensation; $68,912 in warrants, $176,763.75 in certificates of indebtedness, $2,303,211.79 in 1919 revenue and $1,490,127 in 1920 revenue. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. During the mining convention in Denver, November 15-19, a subsidiary conference will be held on taxation to consider the proposed revision of the present excess war profits tax law as affecting mining-coal, oil, metals and chemicals-as the present law has proved unworkable, unfair and destructive to business. State tax laws will also be discussed as they are now confusing and burdensome. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Clyde B. Taylor, banker, had his automobile stolen when he was in Colorado Springs. Search was quickly instituted, but without avail, until the alleged thief, H. P. McManus, parked the machine, unthinking, in front of the banker's home in Monument and was promptly arrested. Salary increases for Denver school teachers totaling $489,590, to become effective in most part December 1, 1920, are recommended in a report of a special salaries committee of the Denver school board, which was adopted by the whole board. TWODOLLARSAYEAR W. K. Kelley has assumed his duties as principal of the Trinidad High School, succeeding D. T. Petty, who resigned recently. Mr. Kelley is a graduate of Purdue University. THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE Shot in full sight of a score of pedestrians, Joseph Ferguson is in a critical condition at the county hospital in Denver from the effects of a bullet wound through his right lung. Earl H. Young and Alonzo Holman are held as suspects by the police in connection with the shooting. Federal appropriations to boost travel in the United States will be the plea of Colorado Springs hotel and scenic attraction men at the conference of the Western Hotels Scenic Association, to be held at Santa Barbara, Colif., this month. The American Legion (Copy for This Department Supplied by the American Legion News Service.) SENIORITY OF G. A. R. HOLDS Praise of Principles Embodied in Message From Spanish War Veterans and American Legion. Recognition of the seniority of the Grand Army of the Republic among ex-service organizations and praise of its principles are embodied in a recent message from representatives of the United Spanish War Veterans and The American Legion. The statement, which is signed by Thomas J. Cunningham of the United Spanish War Veterans, and Dr. T. Victor Keene of The American Legion, is as follows: "The representatives of the United Spanish War Veterans and The American Legion, appointed by their respective national commanders, extend to you hearty greetings. At a joint meeting called by your past commander-in-chief, Col. C. N. Adams, a declaration of principles was unanimously adopted. It was agreed that one of our nation's most valuable institutions for the teaching of patriotism has been the Grand Army ceremonies in many localities, and it was believed that a wider recognition by all of the national veteran groups in a formal manner of the opportunity so afforded would result in mutual good and profit. "The younger veteran groups desire the Grand Army to clearly and definitely understand that we recognize their seniority, and hold the Grand Army, composed as it is of our fathers and grandfathers, in reverent affection. We hold it a splendid thing to be permitted to aid and help the Grand Army in its work during its life; and when the Grand Army shall be no more, with the appreciation that all men who have seen service feel for brothers in arms, to continue the customs and honor the memory of the Grand Army as we will our own." POPPIES FROM THE TRENCHES Pomona (Cal.) Post Plants Flowers From Flanders Fields Before Its New Home. Popples of Flanders fields, blossoming out from seeds brought back from the land of the trenches itself, have been planted before the new home of Charles P. Rowe post of the American Legion in Pomona, Cal., in Home of Charles P. Rowe Post, Pomona, Cal. Home of Charles P. Rowe Post, Pomona, Cal. token that the faith with those who died shall never be broken. Above the door of the home is a magnificent emblem of the Legion in stained glass, worked out in the true organization colors, which at night is illuminated. An elaborate decorative scheme enhances the rooms of the home, the walls of which are hung with autographed photographs of leaders in the World war. TRIBUTE TO WORLD WAR MEN Pamphlet Is Being Distributed by French Government to American Participants in Conflict. "And you yourselves?" And you yourself. "You have taken part in the greatest adventure upon which humanity has so far ever been launched. You have seen your friends fall by your side; you have yourselves, perhaps, been face to face with death. "The American army was great because the men in it were moved to be their best. Though you disperse as soon as you touch the shores of the United States, a common determination will hold you together, it will bind you in fraternal union to the comrades in arms by whose side you fought in France. In 1776 Americans conquered for the liberty of their own country. In this war you have helped to win the freedom of the universe." These stirring passages are excerpts from the souvenir pamphlet being distributed by the French government to each American soldier, sailor and marine who served overseas during the World war. The pamphlet contains autographed photographs of high officials of the French government and brief accounts of some of the important episodes of the war. The adjutant general of the army has appealed to The American Legion to aid in the distribution of the pamphlet which is being carried out through the various army recruiting stations. LEGION MEN AS LIFE-SAVERS Members of Havana Post Lend Aid in Protecting Bathers at the Playa de Marianao. Bathers on the beach at Havana now are placing reliance for their safety on members of The American Legion who are doing duty as life-savers. As the laws of Cuba do not compel the public beaches to supply life guards Havana post of the Legion offered the services of 20 of its members, who had qualified for the American Red Cross life saving corps, and excellent work has been done by them at the Playa de Marianao, where they are stationed. Havana post numbers 112 members and has long been active in the life of O Left to Right—Morris Heller, Tom Wheeldon, Harry Chemidiva, the city. In the Mardi Gras parade Legion floats were entered and aroused much favorable comment. The post is planning to take charge of the American celebration of Armistice day in Havana. 20,000 IN LINE OF MARCH Ex-Service Men Representing Every State and Far-Off Outposts at Cleveland Convention. Twenty thousand ex-service men, representing every state in the Union and far-off outposts where the Stars and Stripes flies, swung through the streets of Cleveland, O., in the great opening parade at the second annual convention of The American Legion. Leading the parade were hundreds of disabled veterans of the World war in automobiles, while behind them came 31 winners of the Congressional Medal of Honor. For two solid miles the sidewalks and stands were packed with cheering spectators as the veterans passed in review. Frequent picturesque Incidents served to lend color to the parade as the long column of olive-drab and navy blue trumped down the line of march. Le Roy Williams, a Grand Army of the Republic veteran, who won the Congressional Medal of Honor at the battle of Cold Harbor, joined the medal of honor men and marched the entire route. A huge flag that stretched across the street, borne by Legionnales of Akron, O., was showered with coins by the spectators until more than $5,000 was in its folds. The delegates from Paris, Cuba, Panama, Hawaii, Porto Rico, Mexico and the Philippine islands, who had traveled thousands of miles to attend the convention, received a tremendous ovation from the crowd. Army nurses and former yeomanettes came in for their share of the applause, and a sensation was created by the Montana delegation, which appeared in leather chaps, spurs and somberos. More than 300,000 spectators viewed the parade, which was declared to be the greatest spectacle ever staged in Cleveland. HE IS YOUNGEST COMMANDER Edward J. Whitehead, Twenty-Two, Directs Destinies of Wolf Point (Mont.) Post. The honor of being the youngest commander of a post of The American Legion is borne off by Edward J. Whitehead, who directs the destinies Edward J. Whitehead. of Leonard Dethman post, of Wolf Point, Mont. He is twenty-two years of age. His fellow Legionnaires are enthusiastic over the way in which he took over the post when its activities were at a low ebb and brought it to a high point of usefulness and efficiency. COMMONS PASS IRISH MEASURE COMMONS PASS IRISH MEASURE LLOYD GEORGE SAYS THE BILL IS VERY GENEROUS TO COUNTRY. HOME RULE GRANTED MEASURE IS PASSED WITHOUT ANY NOTEWORTHY Western Newspaper Union News Service. London, Nov. 12.—The Irish home rule bill passed the House of Commons on its third reading after a motion for rejection of the measure proposed by William C. Adamson, the opposition leader, had been defeated by 183 to 52. The measure passed without any noteworthy incident in a rather tame debate. The liberal and labor members who have boyscotted it through most of its stages as a sign of their conviction of its hopelessness as a settlement of the Irish problem were absent. The final stage was reached in a small and rather listless gathering of members of the house. Former Premier Asquith appealed for advantage to be taken of the associations and emotions aroused by the anniversary of Armistice day, which could not be put to worthier use than an endeavor to find a basis of real settlement for Ireland. Premier Lloyd George, replying, contended that the present bill was a generous measure, but the Irish people were not in a temper to give it proper understanding and consideration. He declared that documents to be published at an early date, found in the possession of Sinn Fein leaders in 1918, providing they were involved in a German plot, would show the necessity of England retaining complete control of Irish harbors. To give Ireland the power to raise a conscript army, he said, would be a dangerous menace to Great Britain, and he warned the Laborites that with an army of that kind in Ireland under full power of Irish dominion rule, conscription in England would become inevitable. The premier contended that it was equally impossible to allow Ireland her own navy, which was quite needless for her national life, and could only be used for the peril of Great Britain and her own destruction. He argued that it was fruitless to talk of granting fiscal autonomy to people still demanding a republic. Expressing a fervent hope for the removal of misunderstandings which would make the future so dark, the premier closed with a note of emotion: "It may be that it was an Irish soldier we honored today. Ireland has had a great and brilliant share in the empire. Some of her greatest and most gallant warriors helped to fight for the empire. Some of her greatest statesmen—the shining wisdom of Burke and the stern leadership of Wellington—all contributed to build the empire. 'All we ask is that Ireland should not in a moment of anger cast away an inheritance which is as much hers as ours, but join in the empire she helped to build and adorn." Train Wrecked. Grand Junction, Colo.—Sixteen persons have been injured in a wreck of Denver & Rio Grande passenger train near Grand Valley. The day coach and baggage car were overturned. The sleeper, third car of the train, remained on the tracks. Model Sues Millionaire New York.—The $500,000 breach of promise and damage suit which Miss Mary B. Rollins, an artist's model, has begun against Robert Barbour, multimillionaire manufacturer of Paterson, N. J., came in for their first review in open court when the case came up before Justice Manning for argument on two motions. Counsel for the defendant moved that the suit be dismissed; counsel for Miss Rollins moved that judgment be awarded the plaintiff. Miss Rollins, who is young and handsome, with a willowy figure, alleges that the manufacturer invited her to his bachelor apartments on July 13, and after binding her arms, beat her with a whip. Then he told her he would never marry her. Miss Rollins said she suffered extreme mental and bodily injuries. Gives Himself Up. Ottawa.—Admission that he "engineered the whole thing himself" was made, according to county officials, by Francis J. Carey, 21-year-old teller of the National City Bank of Ottawa, who gave himself up following robbery of the bank. Bakers Strike in Madrid Madrid.—Bakers in this city have declared a strike. Government authorities have taken steps to supply the people with bread and military bakers have been called to the ovens. They have been unable to fill all demands, however, and lines of people stand all day outside of shops. The master bakers had discharged 700 workers employed in making what is known as "luxury bread" and retained those making "controlled bread," for which there is a fixed government price.

THERE is nothing that adds more to the distinctiveness of an individual than moderation. And now at this time when a political cataclysm has swept the than moderation. And now at this time, when a political cataclysm has swept the country and our party has been victorious, we, as a race, rejoice, of course. We rejoice for many reasons, perhaps more rightfully than any other people, because the Wilson administration has certainly been the winter of our discontent; it has hung over us and the nation like an evil shadow; sectional and prejudiced to the extreme; incompetent and extravagant beyond the ordinary conception of most men. Yes, we rejoice over the repudiation of Wilson, which was so emphatic it was profound. Yet, with all of our rejoicing, let us not forget to be moderate. Because Mr. Harding was elected President that alone will not secure for us in any great degree the reduction of the high cost of living. The reduction in the high cost of living will be brought about largely by the economy and unselfishness of the masses. Moderation should mark our actions in all things, just at this particular time. Let us not become too demonstrative and over exultant because of the election. Things will right themselves, of course, if we use discretion and economy in our actions and manner of living. Let us keep our feet on terra firma for awhile yet, for the winter has just begun and it will be several months before Mr. Harding will take hold of the reins of government. We are told that the President-elect has a large program of reconstruction and retrenchment mapped out and the people have been generous enough to give him a large working majority in both houses of Congress. While we, as a race, did our duty in helping to put the Republicans over, yet we cannot say that we did it all and, therefore, must be reasonable and moderate in our hopes and expectations. There is a big task confronting the Republicans and fortunately we have a big man at the helm who will be able to guide us aright. Free from prejudice and having the entire nation at heart, we can expect big things. But to bring the country back to "normalcy" is more than a notion and cannot be accomplished in a day. It will take many months of hard work and steady grinding to put the country and the people back to their former security. As has been pointed out, this has been purely a one-man administration with mere automatons at the head of the different departments with wires attached running to the "White House," and they acted only when the wires were pulled. The Republicans have been returned to power by a big majority; they have both houses of Congress and gladly accept the responsibility placed upon them by the people. They will give to the people a fearless and positive government. The business men have been hampered with doubt and uncertainty for eight long years and now they want that business stability which the Republicans have always given them when in power. That our people will receive justice and a generous consideration at the hands of the next administration, we have not the slightest fear. Let us be patient and calm in the moment of our rejoicing and thank Him for having delivered us from the enemy. CRACKING THE SOLID SOUTH. JUST one more sledge-hammer blow by the people, such as was given the South on November the second, and there will be a rent in the ranks of the southern democracy that will forever wipe out the term "the Solid South." The past administration has done more to break up the solid south than any other agency. Not that Mr. Wilson has opposed the south in any manner whatever, but from the fact that he has so catered to the south and cajoled, petted and favored it to such an extent that he has not only disgusted the people elsewhere, but the southerners themselves have become nauseated and tired. The Wilson administration should serve as a lesson to all future administrations that a lop-sided, sectional and prejudiced administration will, in the end, prove more disastrous than profitable. When we see such states as Tennessee, Kentucky and especially Missouri going republican, it is time for the rest of the bogy states to take warning and stop deceiving themselves with their phobiastic ideas concerning the Negro. The great bug-bear has been the false idea of SOCIAL EQUALITY and Negro domination. When the real white leaders and progressive element of the south had the veil of prejudice and ignorance torn from their eyes and they realized that the Negro was not seeking to dominate politically and that the idea of social equality never entered his brain, the south began to see where in the political demagogues were keeping back the industrial development of their section and causing capital to pass them up simply because capital will not and cannot thrive in any country where rioting, murder and lynching prevail. The Negro has long since set about in the southland to cultivate farms and establish successful and prosperous business enterprises. While disfranchisement was a curse and a shame—a blot upon the escutcheon of the nation, as well as a deplorable injustice to the Negro—it has worked around to the commercial advantage of the Negro. Instead of wrangling in cheap local politics, he has been wrestling with industrial and commercial problems that have been far more helpful and elevating. Then why should we wonder at the sudden breaking up of the south? As people travel, come in contact with educated and broader people, they cannot help but be benefited. It is but natural, then, that this progressive element in the south, that has been somewhere and has seen some things, are alive to the necessity of cracking the solid south for their own protection and prosperity. A little judicious and determined legislation for the south by the Republicans, when in power, will further the breaking up process. The south has been spoiled and wheedled until it has become a weakling. A little political spanking now and then is good for the south, and what they got Tuesday, November the second, will bring them to their senses. . "The Kindergarten Should Become Part of Every Public School System." By P. P. CLAXTON, U. S. Commissioner of Education. The kindergarten is a vital factor in American education, both for its direct work with young children in the kindergarten and for its influence on the care of children in the home. The boys and girls of today are to be the nation tomorrow. Very unwise, it seems to me, is the community that refuses to insure and guarantee its country for the future, by withholding from its children an educational advantage to which they are clearly entitled and which would increase their value to the nation and to the world. The kindergarten ought to become a part of the The kindergarten is a vital factor in American education, both for its direct work with young children in the kindergarten and for its influence on the care of children in the home. The boys and girls of today are to be the nation tomorrow. Very unwise, it seems to me, is the community that refuses to insure and guarantee its country for the future, by withholding from its children an educational advantage to which they are clearly entitled and which would increase their value to the nation and to the world. The kindergarten ought to become a part of the public school system of every city, town and village in the country, and a sufficient number of classes should be maintained to give every child the pleasures and benefits of this training. The children of foreign origin especially should receive this preparation for American citizenship. "Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory of the Coming of the Lord." The next change in the Constitution may come in order to establish a prohibition of child labor, and long hours for women and minors in industry. The Constitution must be amended to give congress full rights over commerce and industry, instead of the limited rights congress now enjoys. The Constitution must be made more flexible. A petition from twenty states—through their legislatures or through the initiative—should place an amendment in the Constitution upon the ballot at any biennium where a two-third majority of the popular vote or a two-thirds of the states would establish the amendment. The right of the people to vote upon a declaration of war except in case of physical invasion, should be incorporated in the American Constitution. That will make for international peace. For if America adopts that provision, it can insist upon associating with no country in a league or a council or court of nations, which does not give the people that right. Then the President and his cabinet should be made responsible to congress; if the political complexion of congress changes, it should affect the President's status. These four amendments are as "wild" and as "visionary" as the four just adopted were twenty years ago. But they are coming. The Constitution is not the laws of the Medes and Persians. It is a living, growing document. It is sacred only as the will of the people is sacred. And the more it is changed the nearer it will come to the will of the people. But more than any other amendment that has been passed since the Civil war this last amendment—the Susan B. Anthony amendment—has the seeds of dynamic change in it. It has more than all the others recently adopted combined. "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord!" "I Have Never Yet Met an American Officer Who Wished to Be at War." When I became secretary of war about five years ago, I think I was not less well informed than the average man in civil life about the army, and yet when I think back to my state of mind at that time I am driven to wonder how many people in the United States feel now as I felt then; how many have as little knowledge about the army and its impulses, its performances and its real mission as I had at that time. For instance, I had an idea that all army officers belonged to a class which had as its chief purpose in life the bringing about of active military operations, because they offered the only opportunity they could have for the exercise of their talents. I don't think I ever did the army the injustice of feeling that men wanted to have a war so that they might get promotion, but I had the erroneous feeling that, after spending years in fitting themselves to perform expertly a particular task, they would want to see the machine work, and, therefore, that the military viewpoint was the one we would expect the professional soldier to assume . . . I have learned in the course of my five years of very intimate association with army officers the fallacy of these beliefs and opinions. Having associated on most intimate terms with officers of the army, from the highest nearly through the whole official list, I can say, and am happy to say, that I have never yet met an American officer who either wished to be at war or wanted war. I think all officers I have seen have believed that it was the duty of the officer to be, in Stephen Decatur's phrase, ready for any duty which his country might summon him to perform, and that if we were going to have any army at all it should be an efficient army and an army in which the best of success was the measure of efficiency. Greater Realization by Young America of the Value of an Education. The tremendous registration of this September in the state universities means a greater realization by young America of the value of education. The student army training corps, that wartime device of the war department for enlisting men in college, deserves a great measure of the credit. Every young man in the United States had it brought home to him that the government of this country thought a college education such a fine thing that it would send him to college for a while. It was the biggest advertisement for the colleges and universities that ever was. Coupled with it was the broadening and stimulating effect on young minds of the movement of vast bodies of young men into different parts of this country and into other countries. They realized that if they were to go out for bigger things they must have a bigger equipment, and so this unprecedented rush to the college began. It is one of the precious results of the war and one of the most picturesque events in the history of human culture.

Who Who and What What Weekly brieflet by WESTERN PUBLICITY BUREAU Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock there will be real motion pictures seen in the People's Presbyterian Church, according to announcement of the Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell, the progressive pastor of that church. The People's Church has purchased a picture machine, had its booth erected and will in future show regular moving pictures for the benefit of its congregation and those living in the community who may desire to take advantage of the opportunity to witness high-class pictures free from any taint of the world. There will be no admission charged at the door, but the expense of furnishing the exhibitions are expected to be met through the contribution basket which will be passed during the exhibition of the films. It is believed that these voluntary contributions by an appreciative audience will be sufficient for the church to maintain an exceptionally high-class service of motion pictures each Sunday afternoon at the church. Those who will visit the People's Church Sunday afternoon have been promised a splendid entertainment. The Rev. I. S. Wilson has need to feel proud of the Campbell A. M. E. Church of which he is pastor. During the past few months the congregation of this church has raised several thousand dollars and have thoroughly renovated the interior of that edifice, put in a new carpet, new pews, purchased a parsonage and is now preparing to put in a new furnace. This is most commendable and shows this congregation to be united and working together under the leadership of Reverend Wilson. This kind of work shows racial progress. The Denver Colored Civic Association has recently held a number of very interesting and beneficial business meetings. President Thomas Campbell is proving to be the right man in the right place. The public has at last concluded that the Civic Association is not a political organization, but a community need. That it is trying to help develop the interests of the colored citizens of Denver. Each meeting held of this organization shows more and more the need of a strong body of colored men to work for the public welfare and uplift. There should be at least 500 members on its roster. Mr. Colored Citizen, you should send in your application today or hand it to any friend who is a member. The recital to be given at the People's Tabernacle Thursday evening, November 18th, by Maud Cuney Hare, pianist, accompanied by William H. Richardson, promises to be highly successful in every way. The entertainment is to be under the auspices of the Negro Woman's Club Association, and the proceeds are to go towards the support of the day nursery. This is a most worthy cause and should will receive liberal support from the citizens of Denver. Recently a committee of Denver's prominent Masons headed by Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, visited Pueblo on official business. The committee reports an interesting trip, all being highly pleased with the reception given them by the Pueblo fraternity. Among those in the party it is learned, in addition to Dr. Westbrook, were George W. Derry, Mrs. Georgia Contee, Frederick W. Perkins and Mrs. Corrine O'Brien. The Denver Colored Civic Association has recently added among its many new members, two young colored business men whom investigation has found are doing a highly creditable and successful business. However, along different lines. These young colored men use strictly business methods, are giving excellent service and are reliable and worthy of patronage. They are Mr. T. G. Granberry of the Granberry Taxi Company, and Mr. Earnest Howard, the contractor. The Civic Association feels that it can recommend both these business men to the favorable consideration of the Denver public. The Western Publicity Bureau has taken numerous orders among the business and professional people for Christmas calendars, souvenirs, greeting cards, etc. The Publicity Bureau, through special arrangement, is in position to effect quite a saving to those who desire such novelties. Persons who desire to save on Christmas souvenirs of any kind are requested to get in touch with the secretary of the Western Publicity Bureau, Mrs. Mabel R. Berry, Telephone Main 5595, or York 3574-W. The many friends of Mr. C. W. Buford are congratulating him upon the splendid showing he made as a candidate for Regent of the State University. Mr. Buford was nominated and accepted the honor on the Farmer-Labor ticket of which he is a warm supporter and ran far ahead of his associate on that ticket. This shows that Mr. Buford drew considerable support from his immediate friends and of the race, although running on an unpopular ticket. It appears from the extra support received that it is beginning to pay to nominate a colored man on a ballot, no matter what political affiliation. CHRONIC GROVCHES Hendrix. HE NEVER BUYS A PAPER © U.S. FEATURE SERVICE INC. NYC. HENDRIX 20 THANKS BY DONALD D. 81 A recent communication, which was of a personal nature, sent to Dr. and Mrs. Westbrook by Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, gives great praise to the citizens of Denver by that distinguished orator. Mention was made of the hospitality received in the Westbrook home, the numerous personal favors shown and various courtesies which were extended while in the city. Special praise was given by Col. Simmons to the party of business and professional men who participated in the sight-seeing trip over the city and who otherwise made it pleasant for him here. BIG MUSICAL SHOW COMING. Famous Marcus Show of 1920 en Route From Pacific Coast to New York City. The biggest musical attraction that has invaded the west since pre-war days is now en route from San Francisco and Los Angeles to New York. Therentergoers in this section will have an opportunity to see this attraction, the Marcus Show of 1920, during its engagement in Denver at the Broadway for the week commencing with a matinee Sunday, November 14. There are nearly one hundred persons engaged. Many of these are the famous Marcus peaches. There is a special orchestra and it requires a special train of three baggage cars and an equal number of Pullmans to transport the big organization. Not in years has an attraction made such an unqualified hit on the coast as that enjoyed by the Marcus Show. But few cities are being visited between the coast and New York, where the Marcus Show inaugurates its metropolitan engagement early next month. In commenting on the attraction the San Francisco Examiner of September 21 had the following to say: "A musical revue with a sort of indoor circus tone and liveliness of action, the Marcus Show of 1920, won the approval of an audience that last night filled the Columbia. "Girls, gorgeous costumes and agreeable comedy are the features, and though it seems to have been the intention of the producers to give an advance impression that the show might engage the attention of the censor, if such an official still be among us, there was nothing to seriously warrant objection. "It must have cost the managers a lot of money to bring this big organization of girls out from the east with the higher railroad rates now in force. Considerable has been saved by doing away with tights, but this item alone cannot offset the increased transportation charges. There must be sixty or seventy people in the company being Klaw & Erlangered over the west." "Really, it is an astonishing show—that of Marcus, 1920." "After all, the girls and costumes, with the vivid and artistic lighting effects, and stage pictures, such as the Birth of Venus, are what lend importance to the show. The costumes certainly are daring, and the girls have to be to wear them." Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The regular meeting of the Committee of Management of the Branch was held on the evening of the 3rd, right after election day, when all of them were feeling good. Much important business was transacted, and plans made for future work. Much interest was manifested in the report of the boys' work for the month. The report showed the following: Privileges used, 1,736; total boys visiting building during month, 2,020; public schools visited, 35; Sunday schools visited, 3; boys' Sunday meetings started will be known as "The Other Fellows' Club. James Washington elected president, Frederick Polk, secretary and Artemus Stripling treasurer. Musical numbers were rendered by Messrs. Carpenter and Polk. Mr Townsend outlined the work of the club for the future. There were 26 boys present at the meeting. Mr. Parks will speak at the boys' meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, and special music will be rendered by the Syncapation Club of the Church of the Redeemer. The meeting begins at 3 o'clock, and is held at the "Y" building. The regular men's meeting was held at the Scott M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Rev. Dr. Ezra W.

Washington, Nov. 6.—The $5,000,000 United States government loan to Liberia, authorized while the republic was at war with Germany may fall flat. The Liberian authorities object to certain conditions attached to the loan. British interests, supposedly backed by their government, have offered Liberia a loan of similar size without the conditions carried by the proposed American loan. Liberians fear that America will carry out its reign of terror similar to the Haitian scandal if payments on the debt are a little tardy. Already an American collector of general customs, H. F. Worley (white), holds his commission under the terms of previous loans, which call for an American chief customs collector, with British and French assistants. Regardless of any offer made by British financial interests, the United States government will continue to insist that any loan offered by it shall be adequately safeguarded.

"Do you think the judge will be hard on me?" asked an offender who was waiting for that tardy official to return to his bench." "I don't know," said the court clerk." He told me he was going to have some roast pork for lunch, and roast pork always disagrees with him." Ratiocination With a Twist. A certain minister of state, rather well known throughout this world for shiftiness, had pledged himself densely to a certain course of action; and some honorable members were discussing the probability of his keeping his word. One with a pretty wit said: "I think he will, although he said he would."-London Morning Post. Original "Humpty Dumpty." The original of the Mother Goos melody was a satire on James II of England, who fed for aid to the court of Laula XIV of France, then the most powerful monarch of Europe, but "all the king's horses and all the king's men couldn't put Humpty Dumpty together again." First Negroes in America. The first appearance of the negro in the English colonies in America was in 1610, when a cargo of negro slaves were landed at Jamestown. In 1790, when the first census was taken, there were 757,208 negroes in the United States. Lloyd's Is World Famous.

On that lake's shores William Tell ts reputed to have exhibited his marks- manship to the discomfiture of Gesster, and on its waters tradition holds he won his revenge by seizing the rudder of the vessel on which that tyrant held him privoner and guided {t to the rock where he aimed, nat at an apple, but ‘at his oppressor’s heart. Less picturesque, but more signifi- cant, was the formulation of the per petual feague. ‘That famous Instru- ment not only was the antecedent of the Swiss confederation, but marked a mile post in humanity's political freedom. Beloved by tourists and crowded with them in normal years, Lucerne fas retuined many of its ancient as- pects, Its crumbling wall with Its watch towers give it a medieval stamp; two of its covered wooden bridges also serve as art galleries. On the walls of one are depicted scenes of the city's history and the other bas paintings of the “Dance of Death.” Perhaps the most famed art object of the city is the Lion of Lucerne, con- sidered by one critic “the most appro- printe und touching monument in ex- Istence.” In a grotto, hewn from the uatural rock, is a dying lon plereed by a lance, with his paw protecting the fleur-de-lys of the Bourbons. ‘Thor- waldsen, Danish sculptor, designed this tribute to the Swiss guard who died in seeking to protect Louis XVI against the mob of Paris revolution ists that stormed the Tuileries in 1792. Many quaint houses remain, includ- fag the wooden structures whose in- flammability gave rise to curious fire regulations. Wood for building could not lie in the streets more than 24 hours. No smithy could work between vespers and early mass.

Unth two centuries ago the city fathers were assigned special dudes in fire fighting.

Sitlington Sterrett to the National Geographic society describes the Cappadocians as follows: “Residing within a stone's throw, metaphorically speaking, of the won- derful civilization which flourished on the banks of the Nile 6,000 years ago; of the mighty kingdoms of Assyria and p oe} ee Bees BOG hk & sak es be ia Ae a ee Five-Story Cone Owelling. Babylonia which arose in the valleys of the Euphrates and the Tigris, their yower and splendor dazzling the world 2,000 years before the Christian era; and at the very threshold of ancient Greece, with [ts unrivaled culture and political advancement, the ‘Troglodytes of Cappadocia still retain toward their fellow men an attitude of mind akin to that which obtained in the stone age, when there was no such thing as hu- man society, but every man was his own law nnd the mortal enemy of his peighbor. ‘he caves, cones and cliff dwellings et the Cappadocian Troglodytes of ‘both anctent and modern times are to be found in greatest number in the sbedow of Asin Minor’ loftiest peak, ‘snow-clad Mt. Argaeus (called by the Turks Erjlas Dagh), an extinct vol- cano whose eruption in the dim past jad the foundations and supplied the iuaterial for these remarkable habita- tluns, while the Halys river of the ancients (now known as Ktzil Irmal) in subceoging centuries became thelr tireless aFehitect. “The practice of living in caves, In gilff# or in excavated cavities in the ‘open plain is to be traced to a state of soctety which we of today have some difficulty In depicting to our- selves. And yet the central thought of the Troglodytic habit Iv the baste principle upon which ancient elviliza- tion was founded, “they have sought and found for themseives complete isolation. ‘They seem to have none of the instincts of agricultural man and they are wholly Inhos) table, “The entrances to their dwellings are high up in the almost perpendicu- lar wally of the cliffs, and they, are reached solely by means of long poles, which are light enough to be drawn up when the lord of the den and his family are safely housed. And when housed they really are safe from in- trusion, for It would require a host to force an entrance uguinst the will of the family. 3 “One ancient writer tells ts that some Troglodytes made a practice of killing all those who were not In first- rate physical condition, on the ground that a man who cannot earn his own living has no right to live; and when one sees these dwellings, one can {m- ngine still another reason for killing off the aged and the infirm—because of their inability to get in or out of the house.” THE TEMPLE CITIES OF JAPAN Many feet have been treading thelr way to the shrines iy the temple cities of Japan in recent months. In the temples of Tokyo many bits of American pocket money went to a priest for writing a pretty prayer on a slip of paper, which the visitor, in true pilgrim fashion, pressed to his forehead und to his breast and then fastened to the temple wall in order that it might be a perpetual petition. “Phere are 30,000 deities to whom de- vout Japanese write, so a few Amer- jeans’ pleas scarcely clogged the ce- lestial postal service. ‘There were many native pilgrims on the way to the shrines. During the summer months when the erops have been taken care of, the village folk, though they hye the temples of their own patron deity and the fox god, feel that they must send out a pilgrim or two to the sacred mountains and holy places of Japan to woyship in behalf of those who cannot go, and so they provide a fund for his expenses. Nor does the emissary travel tn state. Life for him loses most of its complexities. He is equipped with a cheap white cotton shirt that can be easily washed, tight-fitting trousers and a loose white cotton Jacket which he tucks in with a girdle, He wears an enormous broad, stiff straw hat, and on his back he carries a piece of matting which serves him as an um- brella by day and as a bed by night. He carries his luggage in two bundles, one on his back and the other in front, usually labeled with the name of the shrine he 1s to visit, and somewhere about his person there 1g hung a little bell which tinkles as he stumps along over the weary road from mountain to mountain, - In August the pilgrim rolls off his mat and the visitor from foreign lands climbs out of bed at the crack of dawn to hear the lotus flower bloom, for the buds burst with a pleasing characteristic sound. If Nikko Is the most beautiful elty in Japan, Kyoto can be called the most interesting. Here the feminine visitor finds herself bewildered by the most exquisitely wrought of all the exquis- ite pottery, cloisonne, bronzes, fans and yelvets. After she has bought more than she can comfortably get home with, she probably will want to see a bit of the mikado’s palace which covers over twenty-five acres of ground and Is surrounded by a great wall with six gates, or Journey out to see the largest Inke in Japan, Lake Biwa, and the 1,200-year-old pine tree Which stands near It. HOW SUGAR MADE CUBA A WORLD EL DORADO Sugary like shoes, we once took for granted. But procuring enough for the preserving season was a problem and sugar “speak eastes" are still not uncommon in lands where the supply Is rationed. Writing to the National Geographic society, William Joseph Showalter says: “with a sugar production nearly doubled and prices more than quad- rupled since 1912, one can readily see why Cuba 1s the world's El Dorado of 1920, and why sugar Is Its king, “The imagination {s almost over- powered in attempting to comprehend the vast proportions of the sugar in- dustry of the Island as it exists this year. “The cane produced 1s of such tre- mendous volume that a procession of pull teams four abreast, reaching ‘round the earth, would be required ‘to move it. The crop would suftice to build a solid wall around the entire two thousand miles of the Island's coast line as high as an ordinary dwell- Ing houge and thick enough for a file of four men to walk abreast ou it. “The sugar extracted from this cane would load a fleet of steamers reach- ing from Havana to New York, with a ship for every mile of the twelve hundred that stretch between the two ports. The great pyramid of Cheops, before whose awednspiring propor- tions millions of people have stood and gazed in open-mouthed amaze- ment, remains, after five thousand years, unrivaled as a monumental pile; but Cuba's sugar output this year would make two pyramids, each out- basing and overtopping Cheops. “The wealth the’outgoing sugar crop brings in is not less remarkable in tts proportions, Four hundred dollars out of a single crop for every human be- ing who llves on the island—a sum almost as great as the per capita wealth produced by all the farms, all the factories, and all the mines of the United States. “What wonder, then, that Cuba to- day 1s a land of gold and gems, richer than Midas ever was, converting Croesus, by contrast, Into a beggar? “How much net profit the cane grow- er reaps at 1920 prices 1s hard to es- timate, but that It 1s large will appear when the methods of cane growing are stated, To begin with, after the first crop the planter does not have to bother with seed time for about ten years, The soll is so deep and so fertile that one planting produces ten harvests, Neither does cultivation bother him after the first season, for the blades stripped from one crop form a mulch that keeps the weeds from competing with the next one.” WHEN. THE NEAR EAST IS CIVILIZED “Roughly speaking, Turkey was dl- vided Into five great provinces or dix tricts—Anatolia, Armenia, Kurdistan, Mesopotamia and Syria.” With this introduction William H. Hall, writing to the Nattonal Geograph- fe society, sketches the resources of ‘Turk@y, which have an opportunity for development with measures that may lessen the horrors of misrule, injustice, deportations, massacres and famines. He continues: “The same broad plains that once fed and clothed a population of 40,- 000,000 human beings are waiting to- day for the plow, the seed and the reaper, The mountains still hold riches of coal and {ron and copper. ‘Phe quarries still have abundance of choice marbles, The rivers are po- tent with power to turn the wheels of industry. ‘The natural harbors in- vite the fleets of merchantmen and the river valleys and mountain passes offer natural lines of communication and transportation, as in the days when great caravans passed along these natural highways, bringing the merchandise of the East to the mar- kets of the West. “The whole land has been lying fal- low for centurles—a land that modern exploration reveals as one of the rich- est In natural resources and as unsur- passed by Its geographic location for being the trade center of the world. “Exchisive of Arabia, which was never inore than nominally under the Ottoman dominion, the Turkish empire embraced about 540,000 square miles of territory at the beginning of the World war. Only about 10,000 square miles of this were In Europe. The ‘Turkish empire was equivalent to the combined areas of the British Isles, France and pre-war Germany. It was larger than all of the area east of the Mississippi und north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. “The boundaries were the Black sea and Caucasus on the north, Pzypt on the south, the Aegean and Mediter- ranean seas on the west, and the Syrian desert and Persia on the east. “Turkey In Europe was almost a negligible area, as the Balkan wars stripped the Turks of all their Bu- ropean possessions except Constantl- nople and a narrow territory along the Bosporus and Dardanelles some 40 miles in width; so that when the ‘Turk- ish empire has been referred to In re- cent years, Asiatle Turkey was nearly all that the term embraced. BIRDS HAVE YANKEE ACCENT Londoners Compjain That Imported Parrots Are Siting the Pronun- ciation of Their Fellows. ‘The American accent has inyaded even the parrot house at the zoological gardens here, according to a London correspondent of the Detroit News. ‘A large consignment of birds has arrived from America, Many have names that suggest cocktails, Hither- to scientists may have doubted the ability of cockatoos to acquire a rec- cognizable accent, but two of these birds fresh from the New York z00 speak unmistakable American, “They ask repeatedly for “clam oysters on a half shell” and beg thelr amused visitors for hominy or Call- fornia peanuts.

CH I HK = fans at = 56 EE Hare War genera sons discovered America before Christopher Columbus? The latest addition to the line of claimants 1s Jon Skolp, a Norwegian explorer. Sofus Larsen, a Danish scientist who has recently made a report found- ed on researches of archives of the middle ages, has completed a work which he says proves that Skolp, the Norwegian, “rediscovered America,” in 1478, sixteen years ahead of Colum- bus and twenty years before John Cab- ot reached the strait of Hudson. Larsen uses the term “rediscov- ered,” considering that the original discoverer was Lief Ercison, the Norse- man, in the year 1000. Larsen's researches developed, he says, that about 1475 the king of Por- tugal sent a message to the king of Denmark and Norway, Christian I., re- questing him to fit out an expedition and attempt to find a sea passage to Asia—in reality a northwest passage. ‘An old Yocument to that effect was CTF eeane spas of revenue to the government of which but few persons are aware—that proceeding from the large number of stamps that are wasted by the people. There are two ways In which the government profits by the carelessness and ignorance of the public. In the first place many stamps are destroyed. ‘This means a profit to the Post Office department of many thousands of dol- lars a year; how much cannot be esti- mated, for there {s no means of zet- tng figures, except by elaborate and untrustworthy calculation, A person carries stamps in his pockets until they are so worn that he does not dare use them. In point of fact, anything that looks like a good stamp, no mat- ter if it Is somewhat mutilated, ts passed by the clerks, Just as a dilapt- dated bank note Is good If there is enough of it to show what It is. Wear and dirt cannot, without almost de- stroying the stamp, give it the look of one that has been canceled. Yet few persons will put a damaged stamp on a letter. Besides, many stamps are lost or destroyed entirely and the gov- ernment makes a clear gain. ‘The other source of loss to the in- dividual by which the government profits is the number of stamps that. ‘re wasted in excess postage.

The expedition was headed by the Norwegian-German privateer—Captaln Didrik Pining and piloted by the Nor- wegian pilot Jon Skolp, to whom cred- it is given for having reached as far as Labrador and found part of the actual entrance to the northwest passage. Later on new material was found pointing in the same direction, One of the sources was a famous globe, dating 1537, and made by the Dutch physician and mathematician, Gemma Frisius, who points out that North America was reached in 1476 by Jo- hannes Scolvus. Johannes Scolvus is a name un- known In Norwegian history. Dr. Lar- gen connects it with the Norwegian surname Skolp, which means a man from the shores or fishing places of northern Norway. His deed became famous in his ewn times, but on ac- count of various conditions not trace- able now, It was velled in obscurity and forgotten. ‘The account of his voyage undoubt- edly has been of significance to other expeditions, Norwegians as well as English and Portuguese. Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, in one of his sclentific works has proved that even 100 years later English explorers were familiar with the expedition of Johannes Skolp, namely when preparing for Martin Frobisher's travel to Greenland In 1576, TLL BE SURE TO) £3 PUT ON ENOUGH | & (a4 STAMPS — Sef UA : Sah Se oe ewe Wy) : hy Nm ah Ly i cgay,’ SS EF who have not a five ecnt stamp put three two cent stamps on foreign let- ters, thus making the Post Office de- purtment a present of one cent. Moreover few persons know any: thing about the rates for newspapers and think that because a newspaper rolls into such a solid bundle it costs a great deal to send. So they go on overpaying the postage. On the other hand much matter 1s underpaid. Here the government loses nothing, for the shortage is col- lected from the receiver, who must pay the due stamp. Knowing this, and being anxious not to seem nig- gardly to the friend who must make up any deficiency in postage, a person in doubt often puts on too many stamps—and Uncle Sam gets the dif- ference. farm work. It extended productive ef- fort. “Each truck displaced on an aver- age 1.2 head of work stock and saved an average of $163 worth of hired help. “These trucks averaged 2,777 miles a year at a cost of 16.5 to 17 cents per mile, making the total annual opera- tion cost from $460 to $470. This In- cludes depreciation on the basis that the average life of a truck is six and one-half years, the largest single Item of expenses.” As It costs about $200 a year to keep a horse in the corn belt, the saving from displaced stock was $240; from reduced help $163, cuts the average expense to $60 or $70. To offset this, custom hauling amounted to $50 a year each for all the 831 farms, leaving the net expense between $10 and $20. More than one-half of these farmers have not reduced their work stock since buying trucks, and do all the hauling in the fields and around the bulldings by horses and wagons. About one-fourth have disposed of one or two head and 20 per cent have reduced thelr stock two head, the average for all farms being 1.2 head.

That’s Fai %, Isn’t It? GIVE WOODWORK DILIGENT CARE Treatment That Oiled, Painted, Waxed and Varnished Floors Should Receive. FEW HINTS BY SPECIALISTS Unfinished Wood eae Absorb Grease and Dirt More Readily Than Those With Pores Filled —Covering for Kitchen. Wood forms a large percentage of the surfaces that must be cared for in a home. The following suggestions made by household specialists of the United States Department of Agricul- ture are to help the housekeeper to preserve and keep in good condi- tion the wood, both in the Interior of the house itself and in the furniture. Unfinished wood surfaces absorb grease and dirt more readily, are more likely to stain, and are harder to keep clean than those in which the Pores of the wood are filled with varnish, ofl, paint, or other finish. In general a house should contain as few unfinished wood surfaces as possible. In the kitchen, for example, labor may be saved by finishing or covering the floor, by covering the table with oil- cloth, linoleum, or zinc, and by paint- ing or varnishing the rest of the furniture. Scrubbing Unfinished Surfaces. Unfinished wood surfaces may be scrubbed with the grain of the wood, using small quantities of water and a mild soap, rinsed with a cloth wrung out of clear water, and wiped dry. Strong soaps, alkalis, and too much water darken wood and may soften It. If the dirt cannot be removed with soap and water, a scourer, such as fine steel wood or powdered pumice may be used. Unfinished wood can ; A ys : *? | j org , oe ney ? fe ie ‘ | a ‘ ae oo) so = Do Not Use Too Much Water on Any ‘Woodwork. be bleached witn oxalic-acid solution, which is poisonous. The wood should be covered thinly with the solution, allowed to dry, and then thoroughly washed until all traces of the acid are removed. If grease is spilled on unfinished wood, cold water should be applied at once, if possible, in order to hard- en the grease and prevent its spread- ing, then as much grease as possible should be scraped off with a knife, and the spot scrubbed with a washing soda or lye solution. If the spot ap- pears dark, a paste made of fuller's earth and water shduld be spread over it and allowed to remain overnight. It is advisable to sweep oiled floors with a soft brush and dust them with a dry or oiled mop. Occasionally they may be washed and afterwards wiped with an oily cloth. Water should be used sparingly, and care taken to rub the oll in well and, not to use so much that a surplus is left on the surface to hold dust and be tracked onto rugs. Varnished and shellacked surfaces should ordinarily be dusted clean with ‘a soft brush or cloth and polished with fan oiled mop or soft cloth moistened with a few drops of light lubricating ofl, lemon oil, or furniture polish. Rub in well the oil or polish and remove any surplus with a soft cloth, In gen- eral, varnished and shellacked surfaces should not be touched with water; however. if badly soiled they may be wiped with a cloth wrung out of warm, slightly soapy water, wiped dry at ‘once, and then polished with oil. The appearance of badly worn, varnished woodwork may be improved by rub- bing it with a good grade of floor wax. Cleaning Waxed Surfaces. * Waxed surfaces may be cleaned with ‘a soft, dry duster, or, in the case of floors, a soft brush or a mop free from oll. The film of dirt and wax which darkens the surface may be removed with a cloth wrung out of warm soapy water, or, better, with one moistened with turpentine or gasoline; the latter method brightens as well as cleans the surface, whereas water dulls and whitens wax. Both turpentine and gas- oline are highly inflammable and should never be used in a room where there is a fire or a lighted lamp or can- die. Where a waxed surface has been dulled by water the luster and color may be restored by rubbing with a warm woolen cloth or @ weighted brush. Many spots on waxed surfaces may be removed by rubbing with a Ht- tle turpentine and refimshing with a fittle wux. PRECAUTIONS IN USE OF PRESSURE COOKER Specialists Outline Some Useful Canning Hints. Uniform Pressure May Be Maintained During Sterilizing Period by Manipulation of Gas or Oil Flame or Moving Canner. To secure the best results in the operation of steam-pressure canners in canning in glass jars, the following precautions should be observed, say canning specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Place each Jar in hot water or in the canner as soon as packed. Have the water come to the plat. form, but not above it; add hot water occasionally to prevent its boiling dry before the lid 1s clamped down, Have the canner absolutely steam: tight. When the canner has been filled, fasten down the ld evenly and mod- erately tight; then tighten fully. Allow the petcock to remain open until live steam escapes from it; then close completely. Force the pressure to the required point before counting time. Maintain a uniform pressure during the sterilizing period. This may be done by turning down gas or oil flame or moving canner away from the hot- test part of the stove. Allow the canner to cool until the steam gauge registers zero before opening the petcock. Remove lid of canner very soon after steam gauge registers zero. Remove the Jars from the canner and tighten the lids os soon as the canner Is opened. Liquid will be lost from jars ‘during the sterilizing period if steam leaks at the joint and around the fittings; if the pressure is allowed to fluctuate, as by running up to 12 pounds, down to seven pounds, and back to ten pounds; if steam 1s allowed to blow from the peteock during or at the close of the processing perlod; If a vacuum forms in the canner; or ff the wire bales on. the glass-top jars are so loose that they will not go in with a snap. REAL SUPERIORITY OF COOK Not So Much in Preparation of Fancy Dishes as in Setting Table at Lowest Cost. The real superiority of a good cook lies not so much in making fancy or expensive dishes as in the attractive preparation of inexpensive, every-day dishes, and In the skillful combina- tion of flavors, he appetizing dishes a good cook can make out of the cheaper cuts of meat or of meat “left- overs” are almost endless. More skill and time are required in thelr prep- aration than in the simple cooking of the more expensive cuts, Just as more time and skill are required for care- ful, intelligent marketing than for bap- hazard ordering. Once upon a time some housekeepers seemed to have a prejudice against economizing. ‘To- day most of them are glad to have sug- gestions tor economical methods which will insure the comfort of the family and keep the meals as varied and ap- petizing as when they cost more. A good housekeeper, the United States Department of Agriculture suggests, should take as much pride in setting a good table at a low price as a manu- facturer does in lessening the cost of production in his factory. TESTING STRENGTH OF CLOTH Plan Outlined for Determining Amount of Strain Material Will Stand— Examine Threads. ‘To test the strength of a piece of material, place the ends of the thumbs together, holding the material between them and the first fingers; then pull first on the warp, or lengthwise, threads and then on the woof, or cross- wise, threads to see how much strain they will stand. In examining the rayeled threads of a piece of cloth, notice how the warp threads compare in strength with the woof, or filling, threads. A fine warp will not stand the strain from a heavy filling thread, therefore mate- rials so woven are not so strong; neither are those which have a heavy cord woven in beside a very fine thresd, as in the striped dimities and muslin, PLAN TO KEEP CRANBERRIES After Carefully Removing Soft Ones Place in Crock and Cover Ber- ries With Water. Cranberries, after careful removal of the soft ones, may be kept if placed in a crock and covered with water. A plate or round board should be placed over them and weighted down to keep the berries under water. Change the water once a month.

Dredge the citron with flour and put it in layers’ between the cake mixture when put- ting in the pan, Steam three hours in deep buttered pans, well covered with greased paper, then bake one and one- half hours in a slow oven. Cake cooked this way is moist and keeps well with- out becoming dry or soggy. Cakes, if to be frosted, should never have the frosting put on until the day before using. Fruit cake of this kind is much better six weeks or even months after baking, as the spices und flavors have then had time to flayar the whole mixture. a ee ee en A. HASEF, Prop.

Designers have spent thought and time on them, and in the shops that cater to the best informed clientele they are to be found in materials and styles appropriate to the school girl and so made and ornamented as to express her sweet, very youthful, personality. Many of them are in wool jersey, mostly long-waisted with narrow girdles of the material and made in the regulation style, as shown above, or in surplice fashion. Necks are round, but come up to the neckline at the back usually. Wool yarn or silk floss in needle-work and embroidery, and occasionally applique of goods in contrast colors, with needle-work, angora cloth and crocheted flowers ac- Standards of STANDARDS of dress for children have been raised and fixed by those who make a business of producing clothes for them. The charming and sensible things these specialists produce prove an education and an inspiration to the big army of mothers who make or supervise the making of their little ones' clothes at home. As an example of perfect outfitting for school take the dress, footwear and hat shown here and note how sturdy each garment is and how well suited to the little girl. This frock employs a soft wool fabric in blue and brown with an indistinct stripe to make a plaited skirt. This is attached to a plain bodice made of the same goods and fastening with buttons in the back. Over this bodice the plainest and quintest of little jackets abbreviates its length and spreads open at the front to reveal the bodice. The jacket is bound with narrow silk braid and is ornamented with small, round buttons set along the front edges. At the throat it is fastened with a tie of narrow, picot-edged ribbon. The jack- AND SMOCKS Q count for the very clever embellishments which liven up or tone down the colors used, and colors include dark and strong blues, taupe, brown, beige and red. Yarn embroideryes, yarn fringes and angora cloth in bands and cuffs make a fine combination with wool jersey. Blouses with the regulation waist line are made for the young miss in dimity or pongee and with Buster Brown or open collars. There is almost no trimming on them. The middle must not be overlooked when the talk is of things for school wear. It is shown in blue and dark red flannel, with the usual decoration of narrow white braid with insignia embroidered on the sleever; and it is always good style; but choice lies between it and overblouses. Of the latter a fine example is pictured here, made of wool jersey with needlework and applique in a light color. Dress for Girls et is cut with large arm holes which allow the plain sleeves of the bodice to slip through them, so that the jacket may be dispensed with if need be, when schoolrooms are too warm. The sturdy ribbed stockings and thick-soled shoes invite their wearer to wander where she will out of doors. Plaids, now as always, are favorites for children, and especially so for school wear. For very little girls, not much more than well started on the long road of learning, there are delightful frocks made of plain woolens with long-waisted bodies that support knee-length plaited skirts. They have rather high round necks and three-quarter length or shorter sleeves. Needlework in parallel rows of stitches border the neck and lower edge of the sleeves, cover the waist band and occasionally are used for the hem in the skirt also.
