Senator Knauss was chosen president of the Senate and Representative Davis of El Paso county as speaker of the lower house. Chief Justice James E. Garrigues of the State Supreme Court administered the oath to the new members of the Senate, while Justice George W. Allen performed a like ceremony in the lower house. The Rev. Cyrus L. Brooks of Denver was appointed chaplain of the Senate, the chaplain for the House to be selected from the Revs. Rader and Martin. Harmony Prevails. If this is the slogan of this session of the Colorado Legislature, then the people of this state cannot help from becoming vitally interested in its workings, as the wasting of time in the introduction of motions not very beneficial to the people, and the long drawn out debates that have characterized some of the former sessions will be woefully absent. Members in their preparation to give the best there is in them will find time very precious, and the public demand for practical measures to combat with the great reaction, the return to normal, will necessarily compel expeditious action on the part of their representatives. With harmony therefore permeating this law-making body there appears every certainty of our having a session that we will be proud of. The Governor's Message. This speaks for itself and from time to time we will quote from it, as laying the foundation for a permanent constructive program for Colorado, every indication points to the achievement of a greatness which will result in an impression on outsiders that will make them feel, IN COLORADO BUSINESS CAN BE TRANSACTED WITH SAFETY.

Serving in the capacity of messenger in the Ninth and Tenth General Assembly, he afterwards served for a number of years as license inspector of the city and county of Denver, the first member of his race to succeed such a position, and performing his duties with that efficiency which won him popularity, he was nominated on the Republican ticket for member of the Legislature, but was defeated when his party lost the election. After the Democrats got in power he was offered at various times responsible positions under them, but with the unshaken confidence in his party, unlike many others he never yielded to the tempting positions offered him and remained a devotee until the tables turned toward the Republican side. In the present Assembly he has been appointed assistant sergeat-at-arms, in which position he hopes to give every satisfaction. A native of Virginia, Mr. Rivers was educated in the public schools and afterwards graduated with honors from the Hampton Normal Agricultural Institute with the class of 1882, and three years afterwards resolved to locate in the West, contributing at the same time his quota to its growth by being a large taxpayer, the president of the Western Loan and investment Association and the owner of a newspaper that is doing great service in the maintenance of civic pride and progress of the thousands of citizens of Colorado and other Western states. He has a wife, who may be termed one of the main springs of his successes and a daughter, son-in-law and grandson, Mr. and Mrs. Greenwood and Master Greenwood, residing here, besides other relatives of talent who are filling eminent positions in their respective professional spheres in Washington, New York and Baltimore.

Patronage Committee Remembers Colored Citizens. The following persons were appointed on the report of the committee on patronage, which appointments result from faithfulness to the Republican party, consistency of action in going down with the party to defeat but never dishonoring or defaming it, and then being worthy contributors to its victory, they merit some consideration in being recipients of rewards: Mrs. Jessie Zachary, on the clerical staff of the House; Jos. D. D. Rivers, assistant sergeant-at-arms; Mrs. Lillie Burton, matron of the Senate; I. H. Harper, cloak room attendant. Besides these there are clerks, messengers, janitors in various departments of the state who retain their positions during the present administration. That these persons will establish a prestige and maintain a reputation, setting a standard for other colored citizens to pattern, there is no doubt, and with best wishes for a very successful administration for the chief executive and other state officers, the members of the Senate and House, the employés and all persons who are part --- of the great machinery, the COLORADO STATESMAN predicts the most successful REPUBLICAN ADMINISTRATION for the TWENTY-THIRD GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF COLORADO.

The Republican party of Colorado took a long step toward justifying the solid support given it by the colored voters of the state in the recent election when, upon the opening of the Twenty-third General Assembly Wednesday noon, Mrs. Jessie Andrews Zachary was appointed a clerk in the House of Representatives.

WOMAN FAKES ASSAULT; NEGROES ARE CHARGED Pittsburgh, Pa.—The Negro race was again made to suffer an undeserved acception when an aged white woman, whose wealthy husband would not stay home at nights, staged a "hold-up" in her home and charged that "two Negroes" had attacked her. Police officers called in found the woman in a semi-prostrate state, according to Associated Press dispatches, with her clothing virtually torn to ribbons, furniture in various rooms overturned and broken and the interior of the house bearing every indication of having been ransacked and of having been the scene of a terrific struggle. The "brutal attack" soon faded away, however, under questioning by the police officers, and the woman confessed that she had faked the attack in order to frighten her husband and keep him home at night. She is Mrs. Dandridge Robertson, aged 60, of 7232 Meade street, this city, and her husband is vice president and treasurer of the Pittsburgh Oil and Gas Company, with offices in the Farmers' Bank building. The exclusive residential neighborhood was thrilled by the reported attack and for awhile the officers were at their wits' end to find a tangible clue to the alleged assault. The affair was staged about 10 p. m. and the call sent in to the Frankstown Avenue Police station carried a detail of detectives to the house in short order. --- MME.

NO 13 NEGRO EMPLOYES AT ELLIIS ISL- AND STOP JIM CROWING. Order Alleged to Have Been Issued by Commissioner of Immigration Barring Them from Upper Deck Quickly Rescinded. Colored employés of the United States government whose duties take them to Ellis Island were met on Sunday morning, Dec. 19, by an order alleged to have come from the commissioner of immigration, segregating them and prohibiting them from riding in the upper cabins which had always been assigned to "Employés and Visitors." Shortly after they boarded the boat on Sunday morning the captain came to them and showed an order purporting to be signed by the secretary to the commissioner, carrying the jim crow instructions. All of the men quietly obeyed the order and rode to the island as passengers on the lower decks of the boat. Commissioner Withdraws Order But—when Ellis Island was reached the indignant and insulted employees went immediately to the commissioner of immigration and so warm did they make it for that official that the order was withdrawn before noon. The commissioner denied all knowledge of the order, but the secretary is firm in his declaration that he was simply obeying orders when he issued the obnoxious document. The colored men employed on Ellis Island ride in any cabin on any deck of the boat that is used by any other employ, and they do not hesitate to express their opinion of the abortive attempt at jim crowing, the blame for which lies somewhere between the commissioner and his secretary.

Moreover, the team, which defeated Illinois university for the conference title, was coached by a Legionnaire. Legionnaires on the team say that the only reason why the team is not all Legion is because Harry Workman, sophomore quarterback, was too young to enter the service. Seventeen members of the first squad are Legionnaires. Ohio State won from Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin, Purdue, Oberlin and Ohio Wesleyan and scored 58 points in conference games against 20 for its opponents. American Legion members carried the ball over the goal lines for 14 touchdowns out of a total of 20 made by the team during the 1920 season and also scored five of its touchdowns out of seven made against conference teams. OBJECTIVES OF THE LEGION National Commander Galbraith Outlines What Is Planned to Be Accomplished During the Year. The objectives of the American Legion for the year 1921 were told by F. W. Galbraith, Jr., national commander, in a recent speech in Cincinnati, at a dinner attended by Legionnalres and business men. Mr. Galbraith cited the disabled man's problems as the Legion's paramount concern and termed the finding of a satisfactory solution as "one job that is going to be done." "Woe unto the man," he added, "or the bureau or bureau chief who wilfully stands in the way of paying the honorable obligation the government owes these men. Whoever he is he will have to get out." He warned against the activities of the I. W. W. and kindred organizations and outlined the position of the Legion as follows: "The time has come when a line must be drawn between loyal and disloyal Americans. We do not claim to have a monopoly on patriotism but because of our service our loyalty is a little clearer to our hearts and is a little more intense. We intend to crush this thing, if it ever raises its head, that we already have fought and licked." Mr. Galbraith also spoke of the desire of the Legion to unite with the veterans' associations of the allies, in order to promote international amity. "People accuse us of being overenthusiastic," he said. "They declare that we believe ourselves to be the only patriots. God knows we are not. If we were it would be a sorry day for the nation. We know we have a hundred million associates and we ask them to help us because without their good will and assistance we can accomplish nothing."

(Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Denver.—Colorado's 1920 agricultural output was the largest in the state's history. The total area under cultivation, according to compilations made by the State Immigration Department from reports of county assessors, was 5,635,339 acres, or about 15,500 acres less than the acreage under cultivation in 1919. The 1920 season was much more favorable for crop production, however, than the previous season, and the total crop output, including fruits, was many thousand tons in excess of that for 1919. A single example will suffice to illustrate this increase. The area devoted to wheat in 1920 was 1,471,242 acres, compared with 1,524,594 acres in 1920. The production in 1920 was 27,117,043 bushels, compared with 18,435,386 the previous year. But the value of the crop was more than $30,000,000 less than that of 1919, due to the very sharp fall in prices of all farm products that begun soon after harvest time and has continued till the present time. The value of all crops, including fruits, grown in the state in 1920 is estimated at $167,554,000, compare with $199,947,000 for the 1919 crop. One of the heaviest decreases in value was in the potato crop. The 1919 crop was worth, at prices prevailing on December 1st last year, $18,870,000. The 1920 crop, which was only about 250,000 bushels short of that of the preceding year, was worth at prices prevailing December 1st only $8,695,000. Wheat was the state's leading crop in 1920, both in acreage and value. Reports of county assessors show that the area devoted to this crop was 1,471,242 acres, and the total production was 27,117,000 bushels. This was worth at prices prevailing on December 1st about $36,308,000, while at prices prevailing on September 1, 1920, it would have been worth about $55,000,000. About three-fourths of the crop is winter wheat, which is grown chiefly without irrigation. Reports of county assessors show that about one-half of the spring wheat is irrigated. Corn ranked second among the state's crops in acreage and fourth in value. The area devoted to the crop was 1,203,792 acres, of which 70 per cent was harvested for grain, 15 per cent cut for fodder without being husked, 8.7 per cent cut for silage and 6.3 per cent fed to livestock in the field. The total value of the crop is estimated at a little more than $20,000,000. Sugar beets ranked second among the state's crops in value and eighth in acreage, while potatoes ranked fifth in value and tenth in acreage. Sorghums ranked forth in acreage and sixth in value.

Reports from the Denver Union Stockyards show a decrease in every class of livestock received for market there in 1920 as compared with 1919. The following table shows the receipts for the two years: 1920. 1919. Cattle 622,299 823,727 Hogs 341,220 367,634 Sheep 2,079,415 2,087,152 Horses and Mules. 18,120 22,936 Experts connected with the Denver Union Stockyards also estimate that there is a decrease in the number of range cattle, hogs and sheep in the state at the beginning of 1921 as compared with a year ago, but a slight increase in the number of dairy cattle, horses and mules. The value of all livestock in the state at the beginning of 1921 is estimated to be $151,317,970, compared with $200,506,010 at the beginning of 1920. The biggest decrease shown by any class of livestock was for sheep, the estimated value of sheep being $8,107,590. COAL FOR ARMY COST $7 A TON COAL FOR ARMY COST $7 A TON BUREAU OF MINES ONLY PAID $4.70 FOR SAME COAL, IS REPORT. WENTZ MADE $31,000 COLONEL TELLS COMMITTEE HE COULD HAVE MADE $101,000. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington, Jan. 7.—The Senate committee inquiring into the high cost of coal last year was informed that while the bureau of mines was buying coal at $4.70 a ton, through an arrangement with the National Coal Association, which required no fees, the War Department was buying coal at over $7 a ton through Col. D. B. Wentz, president of the association, on a commission basis. The statement concerning the arrangement of the bureau of mines was made by Chairman Calder of New York when Colonel Wentz was testifying as to his services for the War Department during last year's shortage. The latter said he had purchased and delivered to the department 70,000 tons of coal at slightly above $7 a ton, for which he had received commissions aggregating $31,000. His contract, he added, would have allowed him to purchase 275,000 tons and earn additional commissions of $101,000, but he had refused to do so because of the falling market. Senator Edge, Republican, New Jersey, told the witness his conduct "had been very fair to the government, much better than your contract required." Senator Kenyon, Republican, of Iowa brought up specific items in Colonel Wentz's sales schedule, under which on Sept. 25 and 27 seven cars were sold by the Watkins Coal Company, Pennsylvania, to the War Department for $9.25 a ton. That company reported to the coal association, he said, its September mining costs were $3.25 a ton. "What became of this $6 profit?" Senator Kenyon demanded. "Who got it? Isn't it, in your opinion, more than a fair profit?" Colonel Wentz answered that his responsibility ended in getting the coal at the market price, but said the profit indicated was "more than I should allow at mines under my control." "I realize it's not your business, but it might be the attorney general's," Senator Kenyon retorted. Colonel Wentz said there was a real shortage of coal during 1920, because of the coal strike and transportation difficulties. "You know there is the charge that coal operators and miners' union officials combined to bring about strikes and cause a shortage?" asked Senator Kenyon. "I have heard that, and I know it's impossible," was the reply. "Well, you know that some of your members and labor union leaders are indicted under the Lever law on exactly that charge?" Senator Kenyon pursued. "Yes, and I know it's foolish," Mr. Wentz retorted. 44.500.643 Gallons of Whisky Washington.—Counted in gallons, this is how much spirits there was in government warehouses last Sept. 30, according to the record given Congress; Whisky, 44,500,643; rum, 405,556; gin, 906,462; high wines, 2,395; alcohol, 876,908; cologne spirits, 559,585, and brandy, 739,977. Grocers Want Restraining Order. Washington.—Packers will be able to create a monopoly of the wholesale grocery business unless they are restrained from shipping anything but perishables in refrigerator cars, the Interstate Commerce Commission was told by representatives of the National Wholesale Grocers' Association, who asked for such a restraining order. Representatives of the packers claimed in reply that a refrigerator car could not return empty from its destination, and where perishable goods were not available, carried any commodity. Bill to Increase Membership. Washington. — Membership of the House would be increased to 483 under a bill to be reported by Chairman Siegel of the census committee to fix the reapportionment for ten years under the 1920 census. The bill would mean an increase of forty-eight over the present membership. No state would lose any representation. Representative Siegel also will introduce a constitutional amendment to limit the size of future Houses to 500. Crown Jewels Safe. London—MaJ. Gen. Sir George J. Younghusband, keeper of the jewel house of the Tower of London, in which the crown jewels are stored, speaking concerning the recent discovery of a plot to blow up the jewel house, said: "Well, they would get it in the neck if they ever made such an attempt." He expressed the belief that it virtually was impossible for any such attempt to succeed, as the jewel house has been made secure in recent years and was constantly guarded.

GREECE; NEW NATION OF AN ANCIENT PEOPLE. The question of succession to the throne of King Alexander of Greece turned world interest once more to southeastern Europe. The changes Greece has undergone territorially and the part it has played in the wars and crises of its corner of the world, are discussed in the following bulletin issued by the National Geographic society: "What Is Greece? "In the light of the past the answer might well be tentative, for a definition of Greece's area at any time during the thousands of years of its history would have held good hardly for a quarter century; and in latter years, so swift have been the changes in the new Greece, each decade has seen the fixing of new boundaries. "Not until modern times—except during the momentary empire of Alexander—has 'Greece' meant a nation. In the Grecian Golden Age, as well as before and since, Greece was a house divided against itself. Its detailed history would mean the history of more than 150 separate states. And yet there was at all times some feeling of Hellenic nationality even though the rivalries among the various groups stood in the way of fusion into a single nation. "While Great Britain may be described as a land surrounded by seas, Greece may be said to be 'a sea surrounded by land.' The Hellenes have always been a sea-faring folk, and the Mediterranean sea, and more particularly the Aegean have been their own particular 'herring ponds.' The islands of the eastern Mediterranean became Greek territory in their entirety, and this was true also of the island-like Peloponnesus and some other portions of the Greek peninsula. But an equally important part of Greece—or better, of the land of the Hellenes—were the settlements made by its mariners on the shores of the mainland that hem in the Mediterranean. These settlements constituted an unbroken fringe of Hellas along the shores of Asia Minor, and scattered communities on the shores of Italy, in Sicily, even in northern Africa and what is now southern France. This was the loose 'Greece' or Hellenes at its greatest—a domain of one people but of many states. "Greece gave the world its first League of Nations, the Delian league, organized in 447 B. C. by way of mutual protection against the 'external aggression' of Persia, which had a sort of Berlin-to-Bagdad ambition of its own in those days. Athens was the only 'principal power' in this league, and was the recognized leader of the organization. "Later came the hegemony of Athens by force, the paradoxical empire of a democracy, bereft even of the trappings of monarchy. At this period and under what may be termed the empires of Sparta and Thebes, a close approach to a Greek nation may be said to have existed; but in none of these eras were most of the territories peopled by Greeks included, and even large parts of the Greek peninsula itself were governed by other Hellenic states. For a brief period under Alexander the Great, Greece reached the status of a nation, but it was a fusion forced by a virtual outsider and contained much territory inhabited by others than Greeks; and on the death of the great military genius the Hellenes separated again into numerous governmental units. "Greece, expanding from the city state, had comprised for a moment almost the whole civilized world; but the great dilation was followed by an equally great contraction. Greece fell under the rising power of Rome, and became a mere province in the western empire. "The military ability and power of the Greeks died under the Roman yoke; but when the Eastern empire was formed with Constantinople as its seat, Greek culture conquered where Greek arms could not, and Byzantium became in reality a great Greek state. Once more the territory that, by construction at least, can be regarded as Greece, spread outward until it held within its boundaries much of southeastern Europe. It is on reviving the glory of this period in Grecian history that Greek ambition, when it could live at all, has dwelt." MONGOLIA: SHE SEEKS TO THROW OFF YOKE OF CHINA. Mongolia, fighting along its eastern border to throw off the yoke of China once more, is one of the most interesting countries in the world today and also one of the most primitive, according to a communication to the National Geographic society, from Ethan C. Le Munyon. "The inhabitants in many ways resemble our own North American Indians," says he. "They have a written language, are blindly devoted to the Buddhist religion, and are very fanatical. The lamas, or Buddhist monks, are the curse of Mongolia, and are parasites living on the religious credulity of their lay brethren. Ev- ery third man in Mongolia is a lama. ery third man in Mongolia is a man "The highlands of Mongolia vary in altitude from 3,000 to 5,500 feet. There are many mountain ranges, and in very few places is the country level for any considerable distance. The word Gobi means a 'barren or desolate plain.' Vegetation is absent on the Gobi desert, with the exception of a few grasses, so that argol (or dried camel dung) is the only fuel used. It is collected and stored in large quantities for use during the winter. "Water is scarce, a few wells along the caravan route furnishing the entire supply. During the winter and spring the camel is the only animal that can cross the desert and substist on dried-up grasses. At this season of the year blocks of ice are carried for water supply, and at other seasons, two large tubs are carried on each camel, used for this purpose, one tub on each side of the camel. "The Mongol is a great meat eater, living in some cases entirely on mutton. In comparing other foods, he will ask if they are as good as mutton. It is not uncommon for a Mongol to consume ten pounds of this meat at one sitting. He puts mutton fat in his tea, which is prepared with milk from the brick tea (poorest grade pressed in bricks), and of this he drinks enormous quantities; 30 cupfuls per day is not an uncommon amount for an adult. There are no regular hours for eating; the native eats when opportunity offers. Game is not common near Urga, but many varieties are found in the mountains, though hunting on Bogda Ol (Buddha's Mountain) is prohibited." ANATOLIA AWAKE FROM SLEEP OF AGES. Anatolia, which in Greek means a rising, is literally living up to its name. The leaven which during the past two or three years has been working such drastic changes in countries in Europe and Asia, recently threw this portion of Asia Minor in a ferment. Anatolia, which lies between the Black and Mediterranean seas and touches Armenia on the east and Syria on the south, is the home of some 7,000,000 Turks. Even though Mohammedan Turks, these people have suffered almost as much at the hands of their own governing officials as have the subject Greeks and Armenians. The original Turks in this area are descendants of tribes which have drifted in from Central Asia, but into Anatolia's crucible have poured streams from many sources—Turanians, Persians, Armenians and Greeks, warrior tribes, nomads and merchants, many of whom have lost their names and traditions. In fact, most of the earth's animate creatures have at some time passed over it. The molten products of the centuries are nomads, who often change a wandering life into one of agriculture, living in houses built of bricks of clay dried in the sun. The principal wealth of Anatolia lies in its agriculture. Portions of the land are easily worked and fertile, the tract from the Sea of Marmora to Trebizond being particularly rich. Other parts are rocky or are interspersed with salt tracts. Due to the paucity of a population numbering scarcely twenty-two persons to the square mile, and to the fact that the inhabitants are lmbued deeply with the fatalism and suave imperturbability of Mohammedanism, which to the American mind seems about 90 per cent laziness, two-thirds of the tillable area is covered with spirits and useless weeds. When the natives bestir themselves and raise the common grains, grapes and olives, cotton, tobacco and poppy seeds which the land is capable of producing, there are not yet sufficient transportation facilities to take care of the harvests. The Germans saw the possibilities of these regions and were planning, when they shipped railroad ties, steam tractors and agricultural machinery into the country, practical steps toward the realization of their dream. Now travelers from the Near East tell us that "soon the locomotive, the motor truck, and the airplane will open up Anatolia in a new way, binding it to the world commercially, politically, and geographically, as the historic bridge land between East and West." SAN MARINO IS LIVING PROOF THAT PEACE ENDURES. Founded by a man whose parting prayer was that it never should increase its territory by violence, San Marino emerges upon the map of the new Europe, from which empires are disappearing and new nations are outlined. With Germany crippled and laid low by an exactly opposite ambition, San Marino remains as an enduring monument to her ideal. This tiny nation, "our littlest ally," is described by Alice Rohe in a communication to the National Geographic society, as follows: "The position of San Marino, 13 miles from Rimini, is singular. This little republic, whose greatest length is nine miles, is completely surrounded by Italy, who respects its autonomy, as have rulers of the past with a few fleeting exceptions, since the plous Dalmatian stonecutter left the mountain to his followers, "free from every other man." "That this little republic, which today has 11,000 inhabitants and an area of 38 square miles, has maintained its independence, its ideal of liberty, in the midst of strife and bloodshed, of changing social conditions, for sixteen centuries, adds dignity to the unwavering belief of the trusting ones in the neverceasing protection of the saintly founder. "In the life of the republic today the influence of the Dalmatian saint is strongly reflected. For a country to maintain the characteristics of its primitive founder is a social phenomenon of which possibly San Marino alone can boost. "During the days of Christian persecutions, in the middle of the Fourth century, Marino and Leo, two stone-cutters of Arbe, Dalmatia, crossed the Adriatic and came to Rimini. Their reason, says tradition, was to aid Christians, condemned by pagan rulers, to reconstruct the walls of that city. "The walls of Rimini having been finished, Leo and Marino looked longingly upon the solitude of the two mountains. As the hermits of the Thebaid, who flourished at this same period, they sought peace and solitude in those impenetrable heights. Hewing a bed from the rock and cultivating a little garden, Marino found all his material wants supplied. This rough bed and site of the garden are pointed out today by reverent peasants. A few slaves followed their former overseers in order to practice, undisturbed, their Christian faith. "Marino's desire was to found a free society, based upon liberty, justice, simplicity, charity, virtue, and, above all, of love of peace. When the good man came to die he called his followers about him and bequeathed to them his mountain, 'free from every other man.' His parting prayer was that they never seek enlargement of territory by violent means. War, though a painful necessity for those acting in self-defense, was an unpardonable crime in those who caused it. Begging his followers to remain true to the faith and to live in perfect accord, freemen all, he passed away, little dreaming that in the Twentieth century his little community would stand, a monument to his peaceful teachings and simple form of government, in the midst of a war-torn world." MADE FAMOUS BY NOAH; WANTED U. S. TO MAKE IT FREE. One of the states which asked the United States to be its mandatory is Nakhichevan. If you have not heard of Nakhichevan, first consult Genesis 8:4, for the district in question lies at the foot of Mt. Ararat, and the town of Nakhichevan contains the alleged graveyard of Noah. The builder of the Ark, local tradition affirms, went down into the land that sought the wing of the United States. There he is said to have died of thirst in the parched plain after his ark had broken up on the snowy peak of the world's most famous mountain. The Nakhlichevan district, inhabited by Tartars, is bounded on the north by the Armenian district of Erivan. Along the south flows the Arax river, which is the subject of many an Armenian song and which here forms the boundary between Aslatic Russia and Persia. In the hills to the northeast is Shusha, a strong Armenian center, where the Armenians held out against a circle of foes in the summer of 1918. When Russia's power in the Caucasus declined and the soldats flowed back from the former Russian front in Turkey through the Nakhichevan district, the traditional hatred between the Armenians of the Erivan district and the Mohammed Tartars broke out. This closed the carriage road to Tabriz and later closed the railway. At great risk several members of the American Committee for Armenian and Syrian Relief, with headquarters at Erivan, went to Tabriz and brought back several million roubles in a train that was so crowded with retreating Russian soldats that one of the committee members, upholstered with hundreds of thousands of roubles, was forced to sleep on the roof of the car in a temperature near zero. Within a week the railway service was stopped by Armenian-Tartar fighting. The uprising of the Nakhichevan Tartars was ill timed. German propagandists had placarded the district with posters exhorting these Tartars, who are related to the Turks and are of the same religion, to arise against the Armenians, whom the retreating Russians had left to their own devices. This they did. But the Armenians had spent the winter in raising an army to take over the former Russian front and about 25,000 of these volunteers were assembled in Erivan. When the writer crossed the Igdir plain, where Armenians are starving today, these much persecuted people were having their inning and the smoke from a score of burning Tartar villages could be seen. Tartars with arms were allowed to live if they surrendered their guns, and women and children were not touched, but their villages were looted and burned by the Armenians. This was in March, 1919. All the Tartars retreated to the Nakhichevan district where they formed a majority of the population. There they have remained. Hatred between them and the Armenians is strong. The whole problem is made difficult by the diversity of the population. In the mountain villages the Kurds are most numerous. A strong hand will be necessary to control these several tribes. The Kurds have been forced to be butchers by the Turks, who gave them guns as their only tools, and who kept agriculture and education from them. Their condition was as bad for a time as that of the Armenians, and along the Turko-Russian boundary scores of Kurds were to be seen with only one garment and bare-foot at an altitude of seven thousand feet, in March. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS National Parks and Water Power Act To Group the Federal Government Jobs Protection for Maternity and Infancy Sure; Why Spoil a Perfectly Good Lake? POWER HOUSE WASHINGTON.—One of the first bills introduced at this session of congress was a bill (S. 4554) to amend an act entitled "An act to create a federal power commission; to provide for the improvement of navigation, the development of water power, the use of the public lands in relation thereto; and to repeal section 18 of the river and harbor appropriation act approved August 8, 1917, and for other purposes," approved June 10, 1920; referred to the committee on commerce. This bill was introduced by Senator Jones of Washington, chairman of the committee on commerce, who pledged himself to this action to Secretary Payne of the Interior department before the President signed the water power act last June. THERE appears to be considerable vim to the movement to reorganize the executive department. Senator Knox of Pennsylvania introduced the following resolution for Senator McCormick of Illinois (absent in Europe) : "Resolved, That there be appointed a special committee of the senate to be composed of 10 members, 6 to be chosen from the majority party and 4 from the minority party, to consider measures for the reorganization of the executive departments and the creation of a department of public works and a department of public welfare." Senator Jones of Washington submitted the following concurrent resolution (S. Con. Res. 32), which goes fully into details: "Resolved by the senate (the house of representatives concurring), That a joint committee of the house and senate, to be composed of five members of the senate, to be appointed by the vice president, and five members of the house of representatives, to be appointed by the speaker thereof, be, and the same same is hereby, created and authorized and directed to investigate the various activities of the several departments and agencies of the government and submit reports to congress from time to time recommending the reorganization of the various departments and agencies and the plac- CONGRESS S.T. GILL BILLS REPRESENTATIVES of eleven national organizations of women have created a joint congressional committee to work in Washington for the passage of various measures, among them the Sheppard-Towner bill to provide protection for maternity and infancy. Among the members of the committee are Miss Ethel Smith, National Women's Trade Union league; Mrs. Kate Trenholme Abrams and Miss Lida Hafford, General Federation of Women's Clubs; Mrs. Ellis Yost, Women's Christian Temperance union; Miss Louise Stanley, American Home Economics association; Miss Mary O'Toole, District of Columbia Woman Suffrage association; Mrs. Maud Wood Park, chairman National League of Women Voters; Miss Jean- SOUTH DAKOTA evidently knows a good thing when she sees it—and wants to keep it, especially if Uncle Sam is willing to pay the bills. Anyway, Representative Sterling of that state presented a resolution of the legislature of South Dakota in favor of the enactment of legislation relating to appropriations to reimburse owners of land flooded by government artesian wells, which was referred to the committee on public lands, as follows: "Be it resolved by the house of representatives of the State of South Dakota (the senate concurring)— "Whereas the congress of the United States in years past has appropriated money for the sinking of four 6-inch wells on the shores of Lake Andes, in the County of Charles Mix, State of South Dakota, for the purpose and object of keeping lake filled with water to at least its normal depth, which result has been fully and successfully realized, to the great pleasure, satisfaction and enjoyment of the general public, and all persons interested, with the exception of certain landowners, whose lands abutting the shores of salt lake have become flooded and covered with water; and E Apparently the national park service was asleep at the switch, for the new water power act permits the filing of applications for power sites in the national parks. The power commission consists of the secretaries of war, interior and agriculture. Secretary Payne protested to the President, holding that the granting of a national park power permit should be only by act of congress. Then came the pledge by Senator Jones. The official statement of the national park policy is "That the national parks must be maintained in absolutely unimpaired form for the use of future generations as well as those of your own time." The organic act creating the national park service specifies that the purpose of the national parks is "to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein." Applications for permits, however, have already been filed in Grand Canon, Yosemite and Sequoia. Friends of the national parks have already begun the bombardment of congress, the women being especially active. A glance at the list of memorials, petitions, etc., shows protest from women's organizations from Rhode Island to California. RECOGNIZATION ing under one department or agency the various activities of the government relating to the same or correlated subject matter, with a view to doing away with duplication in government work and promoting efficiency and economy in the government service. The committee shall submit a final report to each house of congress on or before the first Monday of December, 1923, unless further time be given by a resolution of congress. Sald committee or any subcommittee thereof is authorized to sit during the sessions of the senate and the house of representatives and during any recess of the house of representatives or the senate or of congress; to employ experts, clerks, stenographers, and such other assistants as may be necessary, etc." The department of public works in the Knox resolution would be the reorganized Interior department. nette Rankin, National Consumers' league; Miss Lena M. Phillips, National Federation of Professional and Business Women's clubs; Mrs. Arthur C. Watkins, National Congress of Mothers. Some of these organizations are very large. The General Federation of Women's Clubs is known to have a membership of about 2,500,000. That the women of the country want this bill passed is evident from the flood of petitions presented to congress. In a single number of the Congressional Record are these petitions: Fruit Hill Women's club, New Providence, R. I.; Ragozza club of Rockford, Ill.; residents of Washington county, Pa.; Woman's Club of Dover, N. H.; Woman's Club of New London, N. H.; Women's City club of Calals, Ma.; P. E.

USEFUL RECIPES FOR HOUSEWIFE How to Make All Kinds of Yeast and Quick Breads From Variety of Flours. Bulletin Issued by Department of Agriculture Gives Formulas for Dishes a Little Out of Ordinary—How to Score Bread. Do you know how to make all kinds yeast and quick breads, or are your efforts confined to the making of white bread and baking-powder biscuits? Do you know whether the bread you make is perfect of its kind or not? If you don't you can learn from Farmers Bulletin 1136, "Baking in the Home," recently issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, which gives recipes for making all kinds of yeast and quick breads, from different kinds of flour, as well as rolls, muffins, pastry, and cookies. Directions for scoring bread, as it is now done at the best fairs, are also included. One of the many excellent features of this A woman kneeling in front of an oven, cleaning the stove with a brush. Finished Except for the Baking. bulletin is that the number each recipe will serve is given. This is particularly useful for the inexperienced housekeeper. Some recipes a little out of the ordinary which are to be found in the bulletin follow: $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls cooked 1 or 2 tablespoon-pumpkin, 1 teaspoonful salt. $1\frac{1}{2}$ cupfuls corn $8$ tablespoonpill meal. shortening. To the pumpkin, which has been cooked very tender and mashed free from lumps, add the salt, sweetening, melted shortening, and cornmeal, and PLANS OUTLINED FOR CLEANING FURNITURE Not Wise to Put Water on Varnished Surfaces. Vacuum Cleaner or Brush Is Most Effective for Upholstery—Leather Coverings Last Longer and Look Better If Oiled. The varnish on some furniture is so hard and smooth that finger marks and soiled places may be removed with a cloth wrung out of lukewarm suds made with neutral soap and the finish restored by rubbing with a cloth on which a few drops of light lubricating oil or furniture polish has been sprinkled. In many cases this is a good method to use on the tops of dining tables, but in general it is unwise to put water on varnished, oiled, or waxed surfaces. Painted, and enameled furniture may, of course, be washed like any other surface so finished. For upholstery either a vacuum cleaner or a brush is most effective. A soft brush is best for velvet or velours, a stiffer one for tapestry and other strong, firm materials, and a pointed one for tufted upholstery. If convenient, upholstered furniture should be taken out of doors occasionally and beaten with a flat carpet beater, or it may be cleaned indoors by the following methods: The article to be cleaned is first covered with a cloth that has been dipped in water and wrung as dry as possible, then beaten with a flat beater, the dust being taken up by the damp cloth. Leather furniture coverings last longer and look better if rubbed occasionally with castor oil or a commercial leather polish to restore the oil that gradually dries out. The liquid should be well rubbed in and any excess wiped off the surface, otherwise this film of oil will collect and hold dirt, which will darken the leather and soil whatever touches it. Protection for Buttons. When a garment is put through the wringer protect the buttons by pressing them flat inside the folded garment. mix thoroughly. Have the mixture just soft enough to take up by spoonfuls and pat into flat cakes in the hand. Place on a griddle or greased baking sheet and bake for about twenty minutes in a hot oven. If desired, the cornmeal may be added to the hot pumpkin and allowed to steam with the latter for ten minutes before adding the other ingredients. Bread Griddle Cakes. (Serves 5.) 1½ cupfuls bread crumbs 1½ cupfuls sweet milk. 1/4 teaspoonful salt. 1 or 2 teaspoonful sweetening, if ossired 1 tablespoonful shortening. 1 egg. ½ cupful flour, 2 teaspoonful baking powder. Scald the milk, add the crumbs, let stand for 15 minutes, then mash and beat to a paste. Add the salt, sweetening, melted shortening, and well-beaten egg. Finally, add the flour and baking powder, which have been sifted together. Bake on a hot griddle until nicely browned on both sides. (In place of baking powder and sweet milk alone, one-half cupful sweet milk may be used to moisten the crumbs and one cupful of sour milk with one-half teaspoonful baking soda for thinning and leavening the mixture.) 1½ cupfuls wheat flour. ½ teaspoonful salt. 3 teaspoonfuls baking powder. 1 cupful cooked sweet potato (Irish pota- toast may be used instead). 1 or 2 eggs. 2 tablespoonfuls shortening. Liquid sufficient to make a rather stiff batter (about ½ cupful). Boll the potatoes in the skins until tender; drain, peel, and mash fine. Putting the potato through a ricker or colander is better than mashing. Sift together the flour, salt, and baking powder. Beat the eggs until light and add to the cool mashed potato. Next add the melted shortening, then the flour mixture, alternating with portions of the liquid, until a batter is formed somewhat stiffer than for ordi- nary flour muffins. Drop by spoonfuls into greased muffin pans until half- filled and bake for about thirty minutes in a moderately hot oven. 1½ cupups dry bread crumbs. 1 teaspoon salt. 1 teaspoon salt. 2 cupful hour. 2 teaspoonfuls baking powder. Scald the milk, add the crumbs, allow to stand for 15 minutes, then mash and beat to a paste. Add the salt, beaten egg yolk, melted shortening, sweetening, and the flour and baking powder sifted together. Pour into gem pans until half-filled, then bake for about twenty minutes in a moderately hot oven. Soy-Bean Muffins. (10 small muffins.) 1 scant cupful soy-bean meal or flour. 1 cupful wheat flour. $ \frac{3}{4} $ teaspoonful baking powder, $ \frac{2}{4} $ teaspoonfuls baking powder, 2-3 cupful raisins, or chopped dates, if desired. Blend the dry materials and add the liquid. Add the fruit, previously dusted with flour. Do not have this batter too soft, as it does not thicken so much in baking as that made with other flours. WHOLESOME FOOD FOR CHILD Liking for Large Range of Foods Is Desirable for Diet and Best Table Manners. A meal in which all the important kinds of food are represented tends to keep the child in good condition and to give him good habits of eating, food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture say. The liking for a large range of foods is desirable from the standpoint of diet and also of manners, for it helps to prevent a person from becoming a disagreeable table companion—one who is "fussy" about his food. Meals that are planned carefully help also to give the child some little idea of what those who know most about foods have in mind when they speak of a "balanced"—or, better, a "rightly chosen"—ration. With children it is far more important to suggest the value of such a ration by the character of the meals given to them than to try to tell them what it is or to what extent it has been worked out. HOUSEHOLD NOTES Carrots are said to be a good skin clearer. Tapioca makes a delicious thickening for soups. Rinse a saucepan in cold water, before heating milk in it. To produce the most perfect peonies and roses they should be planted in the fall. Appliqued figures of cretonne on black sateen can be used for circular pillows and table runners. Left-overs of meat, fish or vegetables may be minced or diced and heated in a cupful of white sauce or gravy. * * * * The best method of cleansing black silk is to sponge it with a weak solution of coffee water. * * * * A sheet that is all worn out can still be utilized by making it into a good garment protector.

"Wear a smile on your face, Keep a laugh in your heart, Let your lips bubble over with song; 'Twill lighten your load As you travel life's road And help other sinners along." THE AVOCADO OR ALLIGATOR PEAR. For many years the avocado has been brought to this country from Mexico, and in limited number has been in the markets of late from north to south. Even now the demand for the fruit at almost prohibitive ```markdown ``` prices, far exceeds the supply. Experimenters have tested to their satisfaction that this much prized fruit can be produced commercially in a wide area of territory and they are busy developing an industry that gives much promise. The avocado belongs to the laurel family and is a native of tropical and semi-tropical America. The tree is large and spreading, its leathery leaves of a spicy taste and odor. The bay tree, whose leaves are used largely for seasoning, belongs to the laurel family. The fruit of the avocado varies in shape from round to pear-shaped, with color from green to deep purple, weighing from a few ounces up to five pounds. It contains a large single seed around which is a thick creamy yellow and green-colored flesh, of delightful nutty flavor. The thick-skinned fruit is more often shipped, as it carries well. It has been said of the avocado that it is in a class by itself. It is a natural combination of food-fruit and oil. It averages 984 calories, or heat units per pound, more than twice the maximum calories of the best fresh fruits. Its fuel value corresponds to 75 per cent of that of cereals. Its chief value however is in its fat content, which in some cases is as high as 28 to 30 per cent. The only fruit comparable to it is the olive and that is a processed fruit. The increase in population, making land too valuable merely for producing meat, makes the production of such a substitute worthy of consideration. In Mexico a salad of the pear is used as follows: Cut the fruit in dice after peeling and add to two parts of the fruit one part of Bermuda onion, chopped fine, and a small sweet pepper. Prepare two hours before serving. Season with salt, pepper and vinegar. In Santiago.—Peel the fruit, remove the seed and cut in cubes. Mix with mayonnaise, sprinkle with the yolk of hard cooked egg put through a sleeve. Such a salad should constitute a meal, with the fat of the fruit, in the dressing and in the yolk of the egg. Havana Paste.—Take the meat of three avocados, add three tomatoes, half a green pepper cut into fine shreds. Crush and pound this mass to a paste. Add a little onion juice, lime juice and salt. Mix thoroughly and serve at once. Avacado au Natural.—Remove the skin and slice the fruit. Serve on a plate garnished with celery hearts, tomato or sweet red peppers. To be eaten with a fork with or without salt and pepper, as preferred. If you'd make life worth livin' Try these big things worth while; They're three 'I'll sum 'em up ag'in. Jest love an 'work an' smile. A DAY OF SAUCES. A sauce as an accompaniment to a dish is as essential as the ordinary seasoning of salt and pepper to make a dish appetizing. A very ordinary dish with a pliant and appropriate sauce has made many a chef and Cooking hotel famous. Certain foods need certain sauces. A lamb roast with mint sauce, pork roast with apple sauce, turkey with cranberry, are always associated. Veal without a snappy tomato sauce, or one of onion, is usually flat and tasteless. Boiled mutton is improved by a caper sauce and currant jelly with a roast. With venison a spiced grape jelly is especially appropriate, and wild duck needs a tart jelly or a salad of sliced oranges. Wild rice is excellent and most appropriate to serve with wild duck. Fish, too, of any kind is always better served with a sauce. Oyster sauce is one which may be used with any kind. Bechamel and brown sauce are good fish sauces. Lemon and egg sauces are good with some kinds of fish. Wild fowl is especially good with: Ripe Olive Sauce.—Melt four tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add one sliced onion and cook until slightly brown. Remove the onion and stir the butter until brown. Add five and one-half tablespoonfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of salt, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper and stir to a smooth paste. Add two cupfuls of brown stock gradually and continue browning, stirring constantly. Cut the meat from a dozen ripe olives, cover with boiling water and cook seven minutes. Drain and add the sauce.

The partings left us sad and broken-hearted; The twilight shades of evening bring them near. —Edith Louise Farrell. A CHAPTER ON ORANGES. From the present time up to April and May oranges will be plentiful. Most people judge an orange by the size and color, if marketing in person ```markdown ``` if over the phone the price, perhaps, is the best qualification. Oranges should be chosen by weight, as well as grape-fruit. The fruit may or may not be all edible; if the skin is heavy there is not much left after peeling, as the peel is of little value for eating purposes. The oranges that are heavy with seeds cannot be called a good purchase. By testing one of each of various prices and weighing the pulp after peeling and seeds, if any, are removed, one may have a means of comparing values and of judging of the right kind of purchase. As to quality, that elusive something which may taste like the aroma of flowers or be as tasteless as water is hard to choose. So really the old proverb "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" is the only real test of a fine orange. The Florida orange is usually much thinner skinned than the California navel, but is often full of seeds. However, one will not sacrifice flavor at the expense of removing a few seeds. Oranges are not at their best until after Christmas and are usually cheapest in February and March. Orange Souffle.—To the whites of three eggs add a small pinch of salt and beat until stiff, then gradually beat in three tablespoonfuls of sugar. Beat the yolks of three eggs until light and lemon colored, add six tablespoonfuls of powdered sugar and stir in enough orange juice to thin to the consistency of coffee cream. Into this fold carefully one-half of the beaten whites, turn into a baking dish and cook in a dish of water until it puffs. Spread over it the pulp of three oranges, cover with the remainder of the egg whites and set in the oven to brown over lightly. It is always well to remember when using oranges that the pulp becomes bitter if cooked at a high temperature. All the past things are gone and over; The tasks are done and the tears are shed. Yesterday's sorrows let yesterday cover; Yesterday's wounds which smarted and bled Are healed with a healing which night hath shed. —Susan Coolidge. WHAT TO EAT. Each year the value of apples as a health fruit is being more appreci- ated. Whatever aids in promoting health, of course aids beauty as well and the habit of eat- ing an apple or more a day is one which it is wise to cultivate. There are few who are not able to digest a raw apple; for those unfortunates a CHERRIES baked apple may take its place. A cooked apple eaten at breakfast time is a natural cathartic, so with two apples a day, one at breakfast and the other at night, one will be healthy and wise, if not wealthy. It has been said by those who have made a study of such things, that the teeth are preserved by the eating of an apple at night, followed by a good brushing, which protects them from the action of bacteria during the night. The lemon is another good fruit to have with you at all times; taken internally or externally it is a good partner to the apple. If the skin is sallow, take the juice of half a lemon in a glassful of hot water. If the face needs a bleach, the lemon is one that can be used without fear. Apple Glace With Marshmallows.—Make a sirup of a cupful each of boiling water and granulated sugar; in this cook six or seven apples, cored and pared. Turn the apples often to keep them whole, and test them with a skewer to see when they are tender. Remove them to a baking dish as they are done; baste with the sirup and dredge generously with sugar. Set into a hot oven to glaze them. Remove to a serving dish with a spatula; pour the sirup from both dishes around them, and when cooled a little press one or two marshmallows into the center of each. Serve with or without cream. Eggless Devil's Food.—This is the season when eggless dishes are sought for, not because we like them, but as a matter of economy. Take two 'tablespoonfuls of softened shortening, one cupful of sugar, one cupful of sour milk, one teaspoonful of soda, two cupfuls of flour, one-half cupful of cocoa sifted with the flour. Mix as usual and bake in loaf or layers. Candle Light Salad.—Arrange one half of a banana in the center of a ring of pineapple placed on a white leaf of lettuce. Top the tapering point with a red cherry and serve with mayonnaise dressing and nuts. Nellie Maxwell A. HASER, Prop.

DRESSES INVITING TO THE SEAMSTRESS L L EARLIER than the first robins come harbinger of spring in the shops. They are those cotton materials, as well known and as welcome as the red-breast, and distributed over the length and breadth of the land. January finds our old friends among fabrics - ginghams, chambray, percale, dimly, volle, chaille and the like - flaunting their springtime colors and inviting the foresighted mothers to make selections and begin the children's sewing. One can almost forget the winter by working on garments and with materials that constantly suggest summer time and getting this work out of the way, in a leisurely fashion before the more important matter of dress for the grown-up members of the family comes up for consideration. At the time that the shops make a display of new wash dresses, fashion publications, and also the shops, provide examples of new frocks for little folks. Those on display show simple and practical dresses that have the charm of neatness for one thing and ingenious design for another. Spring colors, too, are pleasing and beautiful- Gay and Pictur THE trend of the styles in children's headwear for several seasons past has been toward the plainest of hats and bonnets, and is not changing. But these plainer styles have not entirely crowded out gay and picturesque little affairs in millinery that crown the heads of lucky children who are allowed several hats each season. Cozy bonnets frame rosy faces with the softest and fluffiest of facings, made of fabrics or feathers or anything which takes the fancy of designers as suited to small ladies. They are meant to be worn on state occasions when one must be quite dressed up. A group of these fascinating models for the younger generation is shown above, all designed for midwinter wear, with the qualit, always beautiful poke-bonnet shape featured among them. At the bottom a small poke of batter's plush would be very prim with its band of ribbon if it were not for a soft curly ostrich plume that curls at the side. Usually bonnets of this kind have a colored facing of silk and the plume is in the same color. A much ly combined, in ginghams especially. A frock of this material, suited to girls from seven to fourteen, is pictured here. It will be noted that it differs very little from present styles and is easy to make. It has a plaited skirt set on to a plain bodice, having a little fullness at the front, which is managed by gathering the front pieces along the shoulder seams. The long sleeves are finished off with bias bands of the gingham, bound with tape. The collar is cut and bound in the same way and a smaller collar of white goods is worn over it. The girdle and a bib front are cut in one and the girdle buttons at the back. Small, slit pockets, set in at each side, are bound with tape and five little pearl buttons, set in a row under each pocket, make a prim and pretty finish. The dress of plain chambray, with bloomers to match, meets the needs of little girls of three to six. It is made with a plain skirt, gathered onto a short yoke, and has short sleeves with turned back cuffs. Gayly colored coarse linens make very durable dresses of this kind. resque Bonnets larger poke bonnet made of velvet is shown at the left of the group. It has a dignified sash of moire ribbon and glories in a large red velvet poppy. A rival of these bonnets appears above them in an amusing miniature hat with gay crown of brocaded ribbon—just like grown-up millinery—and side crown of velvet. The slashed, upturned brim is bound with faille ribbon and there is a sash with long ends of the same. The most pretentious of dressy bonnets finishes the group, a regular poke shape with brim entirely covered with curled ostrich plumes, making the softest of settings for pretty faces and ringlets. It has ties of velvet ribbon with satin edge. Julia Bottomley COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION Fur Trimming. Fur-trimmed dresses and fur trimmed blouses are being worn. J. R.
