LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY GOLDEN OPPORTUNITIES IN WEST FOR COLORED FARMERS—CHANCE FOR SOME CONSTRUCTIVE WORK BY U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AND INTERIOR VOL. XXVII. GOLDEN OPPORTUN COLORED FARM SOME CONSTRU S. DEPARTMENT AND INTERIOR (By Charles E. Hall.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Recently compiled United States census statistics show that in twenty-five states, including the District of Columbia, the number of farms decreased nearly 190,000 during the ten-year census period. To what extent the farmers of our racial group contributed to this decrease will be interesting information when considered in connection with the fact that ten years ago and in these same states they operated about 295,000 farms, valued at nearly 354,000,000 dollars, one-fourth of which were owned. Taking the country as a whole, our farmers constitute the only class in our racial group doing business on assets aggregating a billion dollars or more. They operate in every state, and ten years ago reports were received from 2,180 of the 2,953 counties showing 893,380 farms comprising more than 42,000,000 acres and valued at one billion, one hundred forty-two million dollars. Whether there has been an increase or decrease in the number is yet to be determined, but it is believed that while a considerable decrease may be shown in the number of farms operated, the general rise in the value of farm land will offset any decrease in the total value of farm property occasioned by the loss in the number operated. Within recent years there has been a noticeable drift of our farmers to the Western states, and we find that they operated, as long ago as 1910, in 33 counties in California, 23 in Colorado, 8 in Idaho, 44 in Iowa, 81 in Kansas, 58 in Michigan, 17 in Minnesota, 12 in Montana, 35 in Nebraska, 13 in North Dakota, 15 in Oregon, 28 in South Dakota, 22 in Washington and 20 in Wisconsin. It is hoped that the settlements that are located in Vernon County, Wisconsin; Sully County, South Dakota; Weld County, Colorado; Cascade County, Montana; Yakima County, Washington, and Tulare County, California, will show such progress as will influence a goodly number of those who know how to farm to settle in the West and Northwest. In these sections of the country where conditions are favorable to agriculture, where there are no humiliating "Jim Crow" laws, where the children can attend school eight or nine months during the year instead of eight or ten weeks, and where all of the rights and privileges of American citizenship are enjoyed, there is every reason to believe that colored farmers would prosper. The state land commissioners and the railroad companies are anxious to have people settle in these states, and they will send upon application, free of charge, booklets and other printed matter showing the advantages and possibilities open to those who are seeking new homes, but they are not running free excursion trains nor conducting any charitable institutions. They are looking for settlers who will become permanent, who will help to build up the country by developing its resources, and to this type they are offering attractive easy payment plans that assure early ownership. No special inducements are being offered to any nationality, race or creed. As the type of foreigners now coming to this country are not greatly interested in agricultural pursuits and will not contribute much, if anything, to the production of foodstuffs, it is believed that if several thousand colored farmers were properly directed to different localities in some of the states mentioned, where land is reasonably cheap, payment easy, timber plentiful and market facilities good, that they would not only benefit themselves, but would constitute an asset to the agricultural interests of the state or states in which they settle. Many of those who have recently moved north have always farmed and can not easily adapt themselves to the living conditions peculiar to our large and highly organized industrial communities, and if properly informed would no doubt gladly resume the production of foodstuffs. There are vast acreages of undeveloped and cheap agricultural land in North Michigan and Wisconsin, near the heart of the nation's industry, and in both of these states splendid school systems obtain, the markets are near, railroad facilities good and timber plentiful. Our farmers in these states, although few in number as compared with states farther south, are happy and prosperous, and are looking forward to the day when others will join them. In the year 1910 about one-fourth of our farmers were owners, while slightly more than two-thirds of the farms operated by whites were owned, but the percentage of ownership by our group increased more than twice that of the whites during the ten-year period, 1900 to 1910, and the value of property operated by our farmers increased nearly $642,000,000, or at a rate in excess of five million dollars every thirty days during the ten years. If a few thousand of these men who know how to farm could be advantageously placed in the grain producing states and taught through county agents the best methods of farming, it is highly probable that there would be a considerable increase in the production of foodstuffs. Every colored farm operator of average intelligence nurses the hope of becoming an owner, but if the acreage value is prohibitive, as is true in most of the north-central states, and if the tenant system is discouraging, as it is in certain southern states, where a system of robbery obtains at the commissary and at the cotton gins, it is quite natural for them to seek industrial centers where there is at least a chance to become a home-owner. Such conditions kill all interest in farming. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JANUARY 29 1921 State Hist. & Nat Hist Sos. State House ABLE PEOPLE'S P ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, especially among the tenant class, and make menials out of producers, and although we had 91 farm operators per 1,000 population in 1910 as compared with 67 among the whites, it is not improbable that the 1920 census will reveal a decided decrease. Conditions that make menials and industrial pariahs out of men who produce staple crops valued at more than $500,000,000 each year should be remedies, if possible, and the remedy appears to lie in the West and Northwest, where land is cheap and where success depends entirely upon the individual. Possibly a better representation than we now have in the Departments of Agriculture and Interior would also greatly aid our colored farmers, and, in fact, all classes of people. DR. R. R. MOTON URGES HIGHER EDUCATION FOR NEGROES OF SOUTHERN STATES DR. R. R. MOTON URGES HIGHER EDUCATION FOR NEGROES OF SOUTHERN STATES MONTGOMERY, Ala., Jan. 10.—In a conference of federal and state educational officials held here in the Senate chamber last week, Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, was invited to speak on the subject of Negro Education, and in the course of his remarks strongly urged the South to make more provision for higher education as well as better vocational training for Negroes. He said: "The country at large is suffering because of the shortage of well-trained teachers, and I am glad that the federal government, through the Smith-Hughes act, is co-operating with state authorities in providing better teacher-training for both colored and white people. "This leads me to refer to the generally inadequate provisions made by our own state of Alabama as well as other Southern states for the higher education of Negroes, most of whom become teachers. "Many of the Negro teachers in the secondary schools and colleges of Alabama have, I dare say, received their training in other states, but this is not true. I judge, of the white schools. It is my earnest hope, therefore, that the day is not far distant when Alabama will make the same provisions for its Negro youth as are made for its white youth in institutions like the University of Alabama and the State Polytechnic Institute of Auburn. "It is clear that the Negro is determined, that his children shall be educated, and if this education cannot be secured in his own state, the children will be sent to other states. I cannot but feel that it is the business of the state to provide ample opportunities for training all of its citizens. "It is unfair to the Negro youth of the state that if they wish to secure higher education they must attend a private school here in the South or go to a Northern school to get the same sort of training that the state provides for its white youth. "Every time a young man or woman of the Negro race goes North to secure higher education the temptation to remain after the training is completed is very strong, and in a great many instances the Southern schools are deprived of the benefits of these well-trained and more intelligent citizens. "It requires some courage for a man even though born in the South, after spending four or five years in a North- ern institution, to come back to a section where he must pay first-class fare to ride in a second or third-class coach and frequently stand at the ticket windows and wait until every white person is served before he can purchase a ticket. If democracy means anything, it means equal opportunities, and I am glad that there is a large and rapidly increasing group of the best white people of the South who are determined that law-abiding, intelligent Negroes may live in peace and security and may thereby be enabled to contribute their fullest share towards the highest development of the South." CULTIVATE VIRTUE AND MANLI NESS; IT IS ESSENTIAL TO YOUR INDIVIDUAL WELFARE. (By Lewis A. Kennedy.) Give me your sentiment on the principle of virtue and I will tell the degree you register on the progressive therpimeter of the community. Show me a man who has for any length of time honestly practiced self-chastity who is not a healthy, cheerful and enterprising individual and I will introduce to you an illiterate, degenerate mendicant who is not capable of assuming the responsibility of the American republic. A man is not a man, to my estimation, until he is convinced by personal experience and self-observation that the cultivation of virtue and manliness are just as necessary to the welfare of his being as the essentiality of the sun's ray to the earth. "Virtue consists in avoiding vice and is the highest wisdom."—Horace. Define virtue as you please, call it the invention of seers and priests, analyze its ingredients into the laboratory of intellect, and you will return to the original conclusion that virtue is essential to a progressive life, while sensuality and licentiousness are impediments to individual progress. I have tried the vicious mile-a-minute life, with its nights of dissipation; I have trod the delusive pathway which terminates into the gutter of infamy and woe; I have tried, unhesitatingly, to gratify every unworthy desire that my sinister temperament demands, and with such experience I am convinced that virtue and manliness are the only rational principles capable of fortifying our personality against those unpleasant influences which so often throw us off our course, leaving us to drift in a state of wretchedness and despair. Thoughtfulness. Be a thoughtful observer, my friend, and you will be convinced that law, not confusion, is the dominating principle of the universe; righteousness, not corruption, is the moulding and moving force in the spiritual government of the world. Ignore this principle and you suffer the pangs of an earthly hell; approve and apply its moral, and you find this world a paradise. It seems to me that women, dice and booze is the current topic for discussion among our Twentieth century young men; but, to the individual who has felt the sting of ambition urging him on to a higher life; to those who are anticipating the splendor of a brilliant future, it is imperative such filthy and contemptuous atmosphere must be avoided. A young man without any honest-to-God principle about him, without any aim in life, is like a ship at sea without rudder and compass, and no port in sight—only drifting to 'some unknown destination.' It is manliness practiced with genuine moral principles that will successfully pilot us (avoiding disaster) across this transatlantic of time to the part of our anticipated millennium. Just be a man, an honest man, a true man; angels and saints are not expected. The vicious individual is only a four-flusher; his mind is never susceptible to truth; he is like a knot on a log, unnoticed and uninvited, because he will not strive in harmony with the law of his being. As long as we refuse to be manly, as long as we continue to cherish the passion of our animal nature, we shall always be (to the dominant white race) objects of ridicule and preys for angry mobs. Why not be a man? 'Tis the call loud and strong. It will mean more to you than mere drifting along. For 'tis manhood, true manhood, that will give us a stand In this tyrannical, treacherous land.

THE fundamental basis upon which the race question must be considered and determined is that the colored man of the United States is a citizen precisely as the white man of the United States is a citizen. Each is an American; each has proven his loyalty to the principals for which the flag stands; each has fought its battles and shared in its victories; each is entitled to the equal protection of the law in his life, in his property, and in his liberty. Equality of opportunity, equality before the law, equality in the sight of God and not equality in social relationship, is the demand and the right of the colored man. Senate bill No. 4262, known as the Spencer Racial Bill, was introduced into the Senate of the United States, April 21, 1920, by Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri. The following is an enacting clause: "That a commission of nine persons, citizens of the United States, be and is hereby created to be known and designated as the commission on the racial question in the United States of America. The commission shall be composed of three white men from the South, three white men from the North, and three colored men." This commission is to be appointed by the President of the United States and confirmed by the Senate, who will have authority to inquire into and thoroughly investigate conditions surrounding the colored people in the United States, and to make such recommendations to Congress as will in their judgment relieve the Negro of many of the embarrassing conditions under which he now lives. This bill is, perhaps, the best solution of the Negro problem that has ever been offered in the Congress of the United States. In it Senator Spencer sets forth the wonderful achievements of the Negro's fifty years of freedom and challenges civilization of the world for a parallel. The passage of this bill will mark the end of every form of Jim-Crowism, race discrimination, segregation, disfranchisement and other forms of brutality and injustice against the Negro. Senator Spencer, who has just been re-elected to the Senate by an overwhelming vote, is one of the ablest men in the upper branch of Congress. He is a fearless champion of "equal rights" for all people, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude. lessly champion things which tend to make the race. A respected life and a respected race is the best bet after all. "That purest treasure mortal times afford, is spotless reputation; that away, men are but gilded loam, or painted socially. The "Box Social" given by the ladies of the Baptist Church on Jan. 21 was a pronounced success, financially and ocially.

A report rendered by James Dalrymple, state coal mine inspector, shows that the tonnage for 1920 from twenty-one counties was the greatest in the history of the state—12,500,044, a net gain of 2,102,501 tons over 1919. Las Animas county was the greatest producer, with 4,342,647 tons, an increase of 1,025,775 tons over the previous year.

RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Victor E. Keyes, attorney general of Colorado, ruled that ministers licensed in other states have power to perform marriage ceremonies in Colorado. The question came up at the request of A. R. Burks of Steamboat Springs. In ruling on the question Attorney General Keyes said a minister is not a licensed official, and if the marriage was not against public policy there was no law against it. Plans for the state spelling and oratorical contests to be held in Denver during the annual meeting of the Colorado Association of County Superintendents and Institute Workers, March 29 to 31, following preliminary contests in every school and county in the state, have just been announced by Miss Emma T. Wilkins, Larimer county school superintendent and president of the State Association. All but forty-nine school children in Rio Grande county, Colorado, are enjoying the privileges and conveniences of consolidated schools. These forty-nine are getting their elementary education in four small one-room schools while the remaining 97.4 per cent of the children in the county are attending one of three consolidated schools in that county or the one at Center in the adjoining county. Mortality from all causes among sheep in the Rocky Mountain district is estimated at $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 annually, which represents more than 8 per cent of the total value of the flocks, according to Dr. George W. Stiles, bacteriologist of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, in an address before the State Veterinarians' Association, which met in Denver. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. All Colorado taxpayers must pay income tax on profits made from the sale of stocks, bonds and other securities, under the government interpretation that such profits are "income." This warning followed the publication of a statement calling attention to a recent decision by the United States District Court of Connecticut. This decision held that income from the sale of stocks and bonds is "capital increase," and therefore not taxable by the government by virtue of a constitutional provision. "The decision affects the state of Connecticut only," says Collector McCauly of Colorado. "Until the case is carried to the Supreme Court of the United States, if it is, and unless that court sustains the lower court, no other district in the United States is affected." An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. Following an agreement reached between District Attorney Louis B. Reed and counsel for the defendant, District Judge Bradfield granted a change of venue from Boulder county to Weld county to Rlenzi Dickens, charged with the murder on the night of November 30, 1915, of his father, William H. Dickens, the aged and wealthy Longmont banker, at his home in that city.

GROUP TYPEFIXING "REUNION" Jules Querlin, painter Lincoln in Washington By James P. Nornaday NATIONAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN MEMORIAL, POTOMAC PARK ASHINGTON.—Fifty-five years ago on the 12th of February George Bancroft, the historian, before a NATIONAL, ABRAHAM LINCOLN MEMORIAL, POTOMAC PARK ASHINGTON.—Fifty-five years ago on the 12th of February George Bancroft, the historian, before a joint session of the two houses of congress and in the presence of one of the most distinguished assembly of visitors that ever came together in the house of representatives delivered a eulogy on Abraham Lincoln, who had been assassinated in April of the previous year, in which he said two things that have lived: "That God rules in the affairs of ASHINGTON.—Fifty-five years ago on the 12th of February George Bancroft, the historian, before a joint session of the two houses of congress and in the presence of one of the most distinguished assembly of visitors that ever came together in the house of representatives delivered a eulogy on Abraham Lincoln, who had been assassinated in April of the previous year, in which he said two things that have lived: "That God rules in the affairs of men is as certain as any truth of physical science. On the great moving power which is from the beginning hangs the world of results and the result of thought and action. Eternal wisdom marshals the great procession of the nations, working in patient continuity through the ages, never halting and never abrupt, encompassing all events in its oversight, and ever effecting its will though nations may slumber in apathy or oppose with madness." "We build monuments to the dead, but no monuments of victory." Preserved in the Congressional Library with these quotations is the verse from an old hymn which Lincoln so often quoted: physical science. On the great moving power which is from the beginning hangs the world of results and the result of thought and action. Eternal wisdom marshals the great procession of the nations, working in patient continuity through the ages, never halting and never abrupt, encompassing all events in its oversight, and ever effecting its will though nations may slumber in apathy or oppose with madness." "We build monuments to the dead, but no monuments of victory." Preserved in the Congressional Library with these quotations is the verse from an old hymn which Lincoln so often quoted: "Supreme in wisdom and in power The Rock of Ages stands Cantert the not search His mind, And trace the working of His hands?" The great Memorial Monument to Lincoln has just been completed. It is a monument, as Bancroft said it would be, to the dead and not a monument of victory. In no way does it even suggest anything but love for the vanquished. The South has gladly helped to pay for it and the men and women in that section of the country have watched it rise with increasing pride. One may well say that its completion marks the final union of the North and the South—erases the last remnants of hate or mistrust that had continued to find an abiding place. It reflects the thought that ran through the second inaugural address of Lincoln and was summed up in the peroration of that address: "With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations." The nation will dedicate this monument when the cherry trees in the park surrounding it are blooming. The date has not been fixed, but it will be in early spring. It will undoubtedly be one of the notable events in the history of the nation's capital. The great Memorial Monument to Lincoln has just been completed.

Henry Bacon, architect of New York city, who designed the memorial, says that from the beginning of his study of what a memorial to Lincoln should be he believed that it should be composed of four events: a statue of the man, a memorial of his Gettysburg speech, a memorial of his second inaugural address, and the symbol of the union of the United States, which Lincoln said it was his paramount object to save—and which he did save. This idea has been strictly carried out. Each feature is related to the other by means of its design and position, and each is so arranged that it becomes an integral part of the whole, in order to attain unity and simplicity in the appearance of the monument. Each feature impresses the beholder with its greatest force and by means of isolation this is accomplished, though this isolation was not planned to the extent of impairing the relation of each feature to the others.

Each feature impresses the beholder with its greatest force and by means of isolation this is accomplished, though this isolation was not planned to the extent of impairing the relation of each feature to the others. The most important object is the statue of Lincoln, which is placed in the center of the memorial. This position of the memorial where the statue is placed is not occupied by any other object that might detract from its effectiveness, and the visitor finds himself alone with the statue. Each of the smaller halls opening off of the center space contains a memorial—one of the second inaugural address, and the other of the Gettyburg address. These speeches are shown in incised letters on a monumental tablet, and adjacent low reliefs, or decorations, relate in allegory Lincoln's great qualities evident in those speeches. While these memorials can be seen from any part of the hall they are partially screened from the central portion where the statue is placed by means of a row of Ionic columns giving a certain isolation to the space they occupy and augmenting thereby their importance. Architect Bacon believes that these two great speeches made by Lincoln will always have a far greater meaning to the citizens of the United States and visitors from other countries than a portrayal of periods of events by means of decoration. In this connection, however, he carried out the view that some reliefs and deco- MAC PARK WALTERS STATUE OF LINCOLN, LINCOLN MEMORIAL Daniel Chester French, Sculptor ration designed in conjunction with these memorials, and representing in allegory Lincoln's qualities such as charity, patience, intelligence, patriotism, devotion to high ideals and humaneness, would emphasize the effect of the speeches. Surrounding the walls enclosing these memorials of the man is a colonnade forming a symbol of the Union, each column representing a state—thirty-six in all—a column for each state existing at the time of Lincoln's death and on the walls appearing above the colonnade and supported at intervals by eagles are 48 memorial festoons, one for each state at the present time. The thought of the architect here was that this symbol representing the Union surrounding the memorials of the man who saved the Union would give to them a great significance that will strengthen in the hearts of beholders the feelings of reverence and honor for the memorial of Abraham Lincoln. The statue of Lincoln which occupies the central interior of the memorial is by Daniel Chester French. It is in marble. Persons who are competent to judge say that it presents a striking likeness of the martyr President. High Above Its Surroundings. By means of terraces the ground at the sides of the memorial has been raised until the floor of the memorial itself is forty-five feet higher than the normal grade. First a circular terrace 1,000 feet in diameter was raised 11 feet above the present grade and on its outer edge was placed four concentric rows of trees leaving a plateau in the center 750 feet in diameter which is greater than the length of the Capitol. In the center of this plateau, surrounded by a wide roadway and walks, rises an eminence supporting a rectangular terrace wall 14 feet high, 256 feet long and 186 feet wide. On this rectangular terrace rises the marble memorial. All the foundations of the steps, terraces and memorial have been built on concrete pilling which extends down to the solid rock. The colonnade is 188 feet long and 118 feet wide, the columns being 44 feet high and 7 feet 5 inches in diameter.

The colonnade is 188 feet long and 118 feet wide, the columns being 44 feet high and 7 feet 5 inches in diameter. The total height of the structure above the paving grade at the base of the terrace is 99 feet. The finished grade at the base of the terrace being 23 feet above the present grade, the total height of the building is 122 feet. The outside of the memorial hall is 84 feet wide and 156 feet long. The colonnade entrance to the memorial hall, which is 45 feet wide and 44 feet high, is equipped with sliding bronze grills, filled with plate glass. These grills during the day will, after the dedication of the memorial, be rolled back into the space provided in the walls and will be closed at night for the protection of the memorial. The central hall where the statue stands is 60 feet wide, 70 feet long and 60 feet high. The halls where the memorials of the speeches are placed are 37 feet wide, 57 feet long and 60 feet high. The interior columns are 50 feet high. The memorial, now complete, has cost $2,594,000. There will be a considerable additional cost connected with the beautifying of the surrounding grounds including lagoon construction between the memorial and the Washington monument. The memorial stands in Potomac park near the Potomac river in the midst of a large area of undeveloped vacant land. A mile to the east of it, in direct line with the Capitol building, is the Washington monument. There are many other Lincoln memorials in Washington. Indeed wherever one furns he is reminded that Lincoln's influence goes marching on. On the south brow of the hill occupied by the buildings of the National Soldiers' home in northwest Washington stands a plain wooden bench under the inviting shade of an old oak tree. It was just such a bench as this and under this identical tree that Lincoln during the dark days of the war sat until late into the night. A few hundred yards behind stands the frame house in which he spent many a night in order to have freedom from the cares of his office. For more than fifty years veter...ns of the Civil war have been visiting this spot in the Soldiers' home which Lincoln liked so well, and now it is frequented by men who fought in the Spanish-American war and men who did service in the World war. From this spot one can see the new Lincoln memorial three miles distant to the south-west, and just across the Potomac beyond the memorial looms up Arlington cemetery. Other Reminders of Lincoln. To the north and west of the Soldiers' home on the outskirts of the city but within the District of Columbia, are many material reminders of the days of Lincoln. For instance, there is the old fort from which Lincoln witnessed the repulse of the would-be invaders of the capital. And extending east and west from this old fort are remnants of numerous fortifications that Lincoln visited many times. On Tenth street there still stands the old Ford Theater building in which Lincoln was assassinated, and across the street in the two-story brick house in which he died is a Lincoln museum supported in part by appropriations from congress and in part from private sources. One may see there the many reminders of the early career of Lincoln, such as a log from his boyhood home, a fence rail which he split in 1830, the commission of captain which he won in the Black Hawk war in 1832, many autographed letters, the chair in which he sat in his Springfield home when he accepted the first nomination to the presidency and the old family Bible in which Lincoln's name appears. As the years have gone by congress has placed in the halls and corridors of the Capitol a number of busts and paintings of Lincoln. The bust by Albert Degrout is in the east corridor of the senate wing. There is also in the senate wing a Lincoln portrait about which sightseers may be seen any day. In the house wing there hangs a painting that represents the first reading of the emancipation proclamation before the cabinet, September 22, 1862. In the portrait are seen secretary of war, Edwin M. Stanton; secretary of the treasury, Solomon P. Chase; secretary of the navy, Gideon Wells; secretary of state, William H. Seward; secretary of the interior, Caleb B. Smith; postmaster general, Montgomery Blair, and attorney general, Edward Bates. This painting was presented to the United States by Elizabeth Thompson in 1870. Alexander H. Stephens, ex-vice president of the Southern Confederacy, who was then a member of the house of representatives, made the speech of presentation. There are few outside statues to detract from the interest that will always center around the great memorial in Potomac park. There is a Lincoln statue at Fourth and D streets, by Scott Flannery, and also a statue in Lincoln park, which is called the Emancipation monument. It is by Thomas Ball. Dedication of Memorial. As the years go by men in public life at the capital of the nation refer with increasing frequency to the wise utterances of Lincoln. A glance over the speeches in the two houses of congress will show that it is a rare thing for a senator or congressman to make a speech of consequence without quoting Lincoln. The retiring President of the United States in his last general message to congress told the legislators that as he approached the end of his term he found his thought dominated by an immortal sentence uttered by Lincoln: "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us dare to do our duty as we understand it." Apparently the present year is to bring an increase in the interest in Lincoln in his own country, if such a thing is possible. The dedication of the national memorial will be more than a national event. The plans for this affair in so far as they have been perfected call for the participation of the representatives of all foreign governments here. The ecology may be delivered by the President of the United States. The preference was for dedicatory exercises on February 12, the birthday of the martyr President, but it has been decided that it would be better to wait for the balmy weather of spring. It is nearly fifty-five years since Lincoln passed on. To quote George Bancroft, the eulogian, again: "Not in vain has Lincoln lived, for he has helped to make this republic an example of justice, with no caste but the caste of humanity." HAS FAITH IN HIS "CURE" Only Patient Who Tried Snake Diet for Leprosy Died, but Doctor Holds to His Theory. In practicing medicine for the benefit of the natives I worked out one theory in regard to leprosy, which is a fairly common ailment in the Archipelago. I asked myself why, since a snake sheds its skin, a man who is afflicted with disease should not be able to do the same thing. In Singapore there was a rich Chinese leper, known as Ong Si Chew, who asked me repeatedly why I did not bring him some new remedy for his disease. Since he had a large household of servants who took care of him, and his own carriages and richshas when he traveled, he was allowed to live untroubled by the authorities; but he was very unhappy, because he had tried all the remedies of the native doctors and was steadily growing worse. At last I told him that I had something that might help. He asked me what it was, but I would not tell him. When he insisted, I answered, "Snakes." "Ui-la!" he exclaimed, waving his arms in the air. Then I explained my theory. The ability of a snake to shed his skin might be transferred to a human being if he ate snakes; and if so, the person would be able to shed his leprosy. Ong Si Chew did not care for the idea at all, but I told him it was worth trying and I argued that a snake is much cleaner than an eel. At last he consented, and I furnished him with a number of small pythons, with the instructions that they were to be killed and cleaned immediately before they were eaten. He was to eat them raw with his rice. I left Singapore soon after that, and when I returned I found that Ong Si Chew had died. People thought it was a great joke on me because my patient had not survived the treatment, but I am far from being convinced that the cure will not work—or, at least, help to throw off leprosy. Ong Si Chew was in the last stages of the disease, and his case was not a fair test.—Charles Mayer, in Asia Magazine. Polly Remembered Cyclone. A parrot, named Polly Langston, died recently at the age of fifty-three. A native of Missouri, Polly was a feathered prodigy whose remarkable talents included many vocal and linguistic accomplishments. She could sing and talk in English as well as Spanish, her mother tongue; pray and sing several of the old familiar hymns, which she had picked up at church and social gatherings, besides having a wide repertory of conversational "small talk." At one time, when the circus came to her local town, and Polly had poured forth her sage salutations to the passing paraders, the attention of the late P. T. Barnum was attracted to her and a large cash offer was made for her, but her owner could not be induced to part with her. She remembered to her passing hour an event of her early life when a cyclone wrecked the town and brought death to scores of the inhabitants. Polly survived by a miracle, but for more than 40 years afterwards whenever the dark clouds gathered she became so frantic with fear that it was necessary to put her where she would escape the lightning's flash and the roar of thunder. To Weigh and Measure Children. To Weigh and Measure Children. To establish a standard table of the heights and weights of children a conference of representatives of the United States children's bureau, the United States bureau of education, the United States public health service and various educational and private organizations working for the betterment of children has just been held in New York city. At the present time various tables of measurement are in use by the different organizations engaged in weighing and measuring children. The results of the tests are not comparable; also considerable confusion has arisen because of apparent differences in the standards of normal development as given out by the various organizations. A complete standard table will be prepared by a committee, and all future weighing and measuring of children can then be in accordance with their uniform table. The findings of the tests will be comparable and much greater use can be made of the facts revealed. Falling Manna.

"It's by the grace of God and the Wright brothers," the laziest man confided.

We Can Print Anything and Do It Right. The masculine vigor that was only boorishness, slovenliness and neglect of person and clothes has fled before feminine criticism. But the generalization that women are refined and men rough by nature is a superficial one, holding good only when, as often happens, the man's occupation is rougher than the woman's. Whatever the great Puritan emigration was it was emphatically not the foundation of America. The Puritan emigration was not even the foundation of English America, as distinct from Spanish America. At least a whole generation before the Calvinist quarrels, one of the adventurous antagonists of Spanish America had established the first defiant frontiers of English America. Raleigh and the Elizabethans gave to their colony a magnificent Elizabethan name, however little it may have been merited by Elizabeth. But whether or no its origin was worthy of it, its history was wholly worthy of it. Nothing in the American story has been more truly heroic or humane, more truly fitted to last among men as a legend, than the story of what we may still be tempted to call the great nation of Virginia. It is a commonplace to say that Virginia was the very throne of the authority of the Revolution. From Virginia came Washington, its hero, and Jefferson, its prophet. The state was known as the Mother of Presidents. It was felt as a sort of council chamber of the Fathers of the Republic. Not to follow its pivotal political history through a thousand other things, it is enough to say that, in the Civil war, the adherence of Virginia to the side of local patriotism, which happened to be the losing side, was certainly the fact which almost turned it into the winning side. In Virginia, in the dark hour, arose the greatest of American generals, who was, perhaps, the noblest of Americans. I really can not imagine why a history which begins with Raleigh and ends with Lee, and incidentally includes Washington, should be utterly swept aside and forgotten in favor of a few sincere, but limited, non-conformists, who happened to quarrel with Charles I. The farmers and industries of the whole region that is nearer to the Great Lakes than to our salt water ports will reap the advantage of lower transportation costs from the improvement of the St. Lawrence. Herbert Hoover estimated this at a saving of certainly 6 cents per bushel on wheat, and it will be correspondingly as much on other grains. More than 90 per cent of the many thousands of tons of meat products, lard and animal oils exported from this country annually are produced in the Central West, and on every pound a large saving could be made by loading into ships at our lake ports. The people of northern New York and New England will be benefited even more than their western brethren, for they will not only have the improved transportation by water, but will have electric power for distribution to every city, town and farmstead. Their trunk line railways can be electrified, and they can banish the coal famine specter. But fundamentally the conservation phase of the St. Lawrence improvement is most important of all. Where on our own continent is there a region that is not vitally interested in a development that will every year for all future time save us from the need to burn millions of tons of our "black diamonds" and use instead the "white coal" that a beneficent Providence has laid at our doorstep? Some good judges estimate that within a decade or two, after the power demand shall have grown to meet the supply, this annual coal saving will amount to 100,000,000 tons.

WITH the vast army of unemployed workers in the many industries of the United States, it looks like a losing fight for the labor unions against the open shop movement. A year ago labor was in the saddle, so to speak, and was autocratic to an extreme degree, making unheard of demands upon capital in the matter of increased wages and shorter hours. In less than three months we have seen the pendulum swing backward and labor in many industries voluntarily agreed upon their own motion to accept a 10 or 20 per cent reduction in wages in order to be assured steady employment. A few months ago the manufacturers and great industrial heads declared for the open shop. The labor heads of the country held a convention, or council, in Washington, D. C., in November of last year to discuss the threatened onslaught against labor and make the necessary arrangements to combat the open shop movement. At the time all these things were buzzing around and the two great forces—capital and labor—were preparing for the gigantic struggle, the people sat trembling with fear of starvation and freezing as the winter was fast drawing near. But soon after the national election the big factories and other industries began to shut down and lay off the workers. Labor was then and there out-generaled by the first strategic move against them. The factories and industries had on hand a great supply of material and goods, and seeing that the European market was shutting down, the heads of these great manufactories saw plainly that a great slump in prices was coming, so they naturally shut down and began laying off the men. As a result of that move on the part of the manufacturing and industrial heads it is estimated that there are at least 3,000,000 or more workers out of jobs throughout the country today. Some states are more affected than others, as a matter of course. The New York State Industrial Commission estimates that the unemployed for the month of November in New York was approximately 200,000, and that this large number is being increased by recent labor troubles in the state. The Department of Labor reports that the auto industry is the most affected in the matter of reduction of workers. The same condition prevails in the states of Michigan, Indiana and Illinois and even in our own state of Colorado, which is reported to have more than 10,000 unemployed. Therefore, reviewing the situation hurriedly and noting the great army of unemployed throughout the country with men looking for work on every hand, it looks like the open shop movement will not have much opposition. However, we feel assured that there is no need for alarm, as the inauguration of President-elect Harding will bring about confidence and a general steadiness in business that all industries will again be running on full time and the army of unemployed mustered again into the service.

IN OFFERING an amendment to a long established law that has proven advantageous to all citizens of a state, the first thing to take into consideration is whether the proposed amendment will offer a greater advantage by increasing the penalty on law-breakers compelling their respect to law, or whether there is to be some loop-hole by which the person or persons who ignore law and tramples its authority will find a greater latitude in which to play. In referring to the Civil Rights Law passed by the Tenth General Assembly of the State of Colorado in the year 1895, the same presented and introduced by the late Hon. Joseph H. Stuart, a Negro recognized by the Supreme Courts of Kansas and Colorado, as one of the most capable practitioners of the legal profession, we find in the Colorado statutes for 1895, Chapter 61, under the head of CIVIL RIGHTS, An Act "To protect all citizens in their civil and legal rights, fixing a penalty for violation of the same, and to repeal an Act entitled, "An Act to protect all citizens in their civil rights," approved April, 1885. It is plain therefore that there was a civil rights law before the Joseph Stuart's House Bill 175 was enacted, and the fact that the 1885 act gave way to the 1895 is proof per se that the legislative body found a better protection for the citizens of Colorado in this latter act, approved April 9, 1895. After working successfully and to the good of all for a period of nearly TWENTY-SIX YEARS, a bill introduced by Mr. Iver H. Dailey, Republican representative of Huerfano and Costilla counties, has for its purpose an amendment to Chapter 61 of the Colorado Laws of 1895, relating to Civil Rights. This bill is House Bill No. 97 and in its amendment it deletes the word "Accommodations" from the Stuart's act, making the law read thus: Sec. 1. "That all persons within the jurisdiction of this state shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the advantages (the word "accommodations" coming before "advantages" being left out) facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, eating houses, barber shops, public conveyances on land or water, railroad stations, theaters and all other places of amusements (here again the word "accommodation" is left out), subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to all citizens." Now to make ourselves clear, why the omission of the word "accommodations" or "accommodation?" Have we come to the point where our American citizens are afraid to accommodate their fellow citizens in public places, whether eating houses or anywhere else? Are the few bank robberies, acts of burglary, murderous assaults, etc., sufficient to bar American citizens of the enjoyment of their civil and legal rights? Are the men who have fought so valiantly to maintain the dignity of this government and the preservation of its union, also the women that have played so nobly a part in making sacrifices and taking care of the battle scarred heroes to be subjected to non-accommodation after risking their all for the upkeep of this state and commonwealth? Surely the honorable legislator must be wrongly tutored, as our present condition merits a closer bgnd of unity as we will have to tackle a harder job in the re-adjustment that is now on foot. Let the spirit of TRUE AMERICANISM prevail, Mr. Dailey, and although you have introduced the bill, but prove to your loyal American brothers and sisters that not only are you above board but you are for JUSTICE TO ALL AND FAVORS TO NONE. WATCHING THE CLOCK. TO BE ON TIME is one of the most beneficial habits that a man can train himself to become accustomed to in life. A man who is known to be forever late to his work, or in keeping an engagement is regarded by his associates, usually, as unreliable and not much to be trusted with any responsibility. There are many young men who make the mistake of always being late to their work. There are many men who are never known to be on time at an important meeting or engagement and some times cause great inconvenience and delay in the business to be transacted. Punctuality is a priceless virtue, and every man and woman who aspires to anything in life should strive to cultivate the valuable habit of being punctual. It is important to keep your eye on the clock and move on the minute, so as never to be late. If some enterprising person should ever attempt to publish in book form the many frivolous excuses that are handed out by people in extenuation of their neglect and tardiness, it would require several volumes and much labor. To become generally known in your circle as Mr. "Late" John Jones appears to be more humiliating than jocular. On the other hand, the man who is known to be always punctual holds the respect and admiration of his fellowmen and is usually looked upon as a man out of the ordinary. Such a man is worth while, and soon you will find that he has attained wealth and position. The man who watches the clock only to be able to stop his work on the minute does not get anywhere in life, as a rule. It is the man who keeps his eye on the clock so as never to be late to work that succeeds in these changing and strenuous times. Some people are never known to be late to their work unless some unforeseen or unavoidable accident happens to prevent them. Such men as these are to be depended upon and usually are placed in positions of great responsibility. How discouraging it must be to see a man continually timing his work by the clock. With him it is not how well and how much he can do in a day, but how little and how poorly he can do before the clock strikes. Naturally, such men make the ultimate failures in life. They were shiftless and careless to begin with and probably never tried to overcome the habit of being late or watching the clock. To our coming young generation we wish to stress the paramount importance of watching the clock only when you are to begin work or keep an appointment, and not when you are to stop work. Spend more time upon the efficiency of your work and less time in watching the clock. Adopt the habit of going to work with a vim and quitting with reluctance and see how soon you will rise. Take an interest in your work and the time will go by so rapidly you will not be fatigued when the work for the day is done. When you adopt such a rule you are not only working in the interest of your employer, but in your own interest as well. Why work at all if not to your benefit? Just turn right around and change your system of working, and instead of going to work late and quitting early, try the method of going to work early and quitting late, and see what the big net results will be at the end of the year. THE HON. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL OF COLORADO CREATES FAVORABLE IMPRESSION ON PUBLIC DURING ITS EARLY SESSIONS ment of things the most careful study and deliberations must be engaged if the problem attached to those roles must be worked out successfully, thereby bringing about something of much benefit to the people. Up to the present everything that harmonious working desires is to be found between the respective parties—Republican and Democratic—anl although in the upper and lower Houses the ratio stands 2 to 1 and 8 to 1 in favor of the Republicans, yet nothing is being done to embarrass the minority legislators on the one hand, nor are any impediments and incumbrances being offered by the minority to delay the proceedings of the assembly. This, therefore, augurs for a very agreeable session, fraught with good will, void of antagonism from party standpoint and a determination of legislators to offer their best services to the people for a record that will not be easily surpassed. IF EVER a body of men and women can be found who resolve to present a program so constructive that justice will be done Colorado in the achievement of those things advantageous to the people, beneficial to business whether small or large, encouraging to the new arrivals who are so pleased with their initiation of Western life that they have permanently located, it is the present body of public representatives comprising our legislative council, legally chosen by electors at their biennial election. Following the proceedings from the time the chief executive made his address, throughout the appointment of different committees up to the present moment, very favorable impressions are being made on the public, who are outspoken in their commendations of the concerted efforts that are being put forward by legislators to insure their confidence in doing the work assigned them with as little delay as possible and to the best of their ability. OFFICERS AND EMPLOYES. With Lieut. Gov. Earl Cooley, president of the Senate; Hon. Roy A. Davis, speaker, House of Representatives; N. U. McLean, secretary of the Senate; R. L. Shaw, chief clerk, House of Representatives; Harry L. Ellman, assistant secretary of the Senate; Thos. W. Andrew, assistant chief clerk, House of Representatives; W. M. Davis, sergeant-at-arms, Senate, and Chas, H. Norman, sergeant-at-arms of the House, we see an aggregation of officials bent on a determination to carry on the work smoothly, with a oneness of spirit characteristic of men who are ever mindful of their obligation to their constituents. These persons evince particular interest in working harmoniously for the good that will be attendant with their help to the Legislature in their special attention to the duties assigned them, and the general appearance as one observes cannot fail to impress that they also are alive to their responsibility and the part they can play in helping the legislative wheels to revolve easily. Besides those already mentioned are the following officers and employés: Seward P. Stanley, reading clerk; W. H. Coover, docket clerk; Hailie Van Hook, stenographer; Ann Cronin, reporter; Regina Bornstein, chief enrolling clerk; Anna M. Garcher, revision and engrossment clerk; C. E. Jensen, Alice Lovelace, Lucille Walker, Lorraine Williams, and Jessie Zackery, assignable clerks; Gladys King, mail clerk; S. G. Worland, Jos. D. D. Rivers and Walter Hulquist, assistant sergeant-at-arms; Rebecca England, Lillie Burton, matrons women's gallery; F. G. Hausmen, Léo Crowley, doorkeepers, and a number of clerks of committees, pages, assistant printing clerks, janitors, etc., each in his and her way contributing to the success of this cause, should undoubtedly establish a prestige for Colorado's Twenty-third General Assembly, the maintenance of which will place on us an estimate at premium by our sister states for our procedure in our governmental order of things. SENATE AND HOUSE COMMITTEES The committees of the respective branches of the Legislature, numbering sixty-eight, are not slow in getting down to business and tackling the job that is before them, as with the numerous bills presented to be gone through in the time allotted for the session, a fair test of "a man for a man's job," will confront our lawmaking body. Of all the committees appointed, special attention is directed to those of agriculture and irrigation, labor, constitutional amendments, education and educational institutions, roads and bridges, railroads, the importance of which should engage the interest of every taxpayer and other citizen seriously, as with the proposed readjust- When Lovely Woman Gave Up Fainting and Took Up Smoking Instead. By G. BERNARD SHAW, English Man of Letters. © WALTER SCHWENGER NATION Masculine affectations were always a mistake. During the movement for the liberal education of women and their admission to the professions, the followers of John Stuart Mill and Henry Fawcett cut their hair short, put on men's stiff collars and cravats, wore waistcoats and shirtfronts and watchchains, and made themselves mannish above the waist while remaining quakerish below it. The counter-movement has not balanced itself yet. It culminated in the campaign of the suffragetts, which was conducted with extraordinary violence and resisted with frantic savagery. But before it broke into volcanic eruption it had obliterated the would-be manly women. The suffragetts insisted on their womanliness much more consciously and strenuously than the Victorian women. The manly phase, however, had established toleration for practices which, though formerly confined to men, were really as proper—or improper—to women as to men. For instance, women gave up crying and fainting, and took to swearing and smoking. When my mother formed her habits, smoking by women, or even in their presence, was unheard of. There was not even a smoking room in the house. Men went down to the kitchen late at night and smoked up the chimney. When women discovered that the toleration and even the practice of smoking was the price of male company, they first tolerated and then practiced. The habit is one of the most extraordinary aberrations of our civilization, imposed on us as it was by the redskin at the climax of the Renascence. Men were always a little ashamed of it, and were actually heading for its renunciation when women gave it an enormous impulse and made it quite shameless. In the nineteenth century we could hope smoking might disappear in the twentieth. Now people who do not smoke have to choose between stale tobacco and social ostracism. As refinement was supposed to be proper to women and roughness proper to men fifty years ago, the great increase in companionship between men and women during that period was bound either to refine the men or roughen the women. It has done both. The feminine refinement, which was only silliness disguised by affection, has gone, and women are hardier and healthier, and the stock sizes of their clothes are larger in consequence.

We had the privilege of hearing the Gatewood aggregation of singers for the first time at Shorter A. M. E. Church last week, Thursday evening, and the audience of over 200 persons commended very highly the efforts being made to prove to our music-loving community that talent is to be found in Denver that can be used to the bringing forward in this city to fill a prominent place in the musical world. Special comment must be made of the female voices for the qualities of the art, evidenced in their placing of tones, resonance and attention to expressions. The male voices did their part well, and under the careful training of Miss Gatewood, who is a capable instructor and accompanist, will develop to more than passing notice. Keep up the good work! Let us look forward to the GATEWOOD CHORUS in time. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS MAKING PROGRESS IN BUILDING SCHEME.

In the death of Mrs. Churchill De Neal, another of the connecting links between the old and new Denver is severed. Well-known for many years and highly respected among all classes of the community, many will shed a tear over her loss as she was quite a charity worker in her quiet, unassuming way, going from house to house and family to family. Her husband pre-deceased her a few years ago, and she leaves to mourn her loss three daughters, a number of grandchildren and a brother-in-law, James De Neal. She was a faithful member of Shorter Church and a zealous worker in fraternal societies. She died at her late residence Wednesday. Funeral arrangements announced later.

A thrilling adventure in the timberlands of New Zealand is related by Mr. David Blake, who met with it as a result of a quarrel with a man named Smertz. Do you know the great divide on Mount Siberia? asks Mr. Blake in the Wide World Magazine. I had the contract for cutting out and sending down the timber from the upper slopes. Across the gulch, taut as a bow-string, a steel cable stretched for eight hundred feet. The kauri logs, slung to an underhung trolley running on huge sheaves, were sent over the wire to the other side. A guide rope, hooked to the trolley, served to check the run and ease the timber to the landing stage below. Rod McKenzie, Duncan and Smertz worked in my gang. It was the end of the day in late autumn. The last log—a monster twenty feet long by thirty in grirth—hung ready for launching. I was on the point of giving the signal, when, fancying I noticed a slackness in one of the slings, I mounted the log. This was Smertz's moment for deferred vengeance. As quick as lightning he swung his ax and sprang the hook of the guide rope from the socket. On the instant the huge log gathered headway down the taut wire. Some one screamed, "Jump, Dave, jump!" But there was no time. All this happened in a flash. I threw myself face down upon the log and gripped the sling chains with a grip of death. Bushes, ground and tree stumps flew backward beneath me in a mad blur of speed. The racing sheaves, in their iron block casing, screamed and shrilled. Fire flashed from them. Fire ran along the wire. Showers of sparks flew out upon the wind. Suddenly there was a jar, the grind and shriek of metal on metal. I screamed and closed my eyes. There was a jerk that wrenched my arms in their sockets, and the mad rush stopped. The strained wire above sprang, bent again and hummed like a twanged bowstring. The log, hanging beneath, leaped up and down, up and down. I was jolted from my hold and, for a horrible minute, with one hand clutched in the chains, hung over the abyss. Slowly, painfully, I dragged myself up again. My nerves were in rags, my limbs shook, and my teeth chattered. I took off my belt and, receiving it through a chain link, shifted position; then I rebuckled the strong leather round my waist. This is what had happened. The pin in the lower block had worked loose. The wire had jumped the groove in the sheave wheel, becoming jammed between it and the iron casing, and the log had braked itself by its own weight. A stiff wind had blown during the afternoon, and with night it hardened into a gale from the southeast. It roared, swooping through the defile. Rain and wind-driven hail blissed across the darkness in fierce gusts. Flannel shirt and trousers, which represented all my clothing, were little protection against the fierce cold. I could not move to ease my position. Ice formed on the chains and on the wood; my clothing froze hard and stiff. The night was as dark as the mouth of a pit. A single big star broke at intervals through the wrack of flying scud. I watched it idly as I lay in a sort of trance. I awoke in a warm bed. It was Dick, my close companion, that had come out along the wire in the morning after the storm. He had brought with him a sort of chair of strong rope running on a pulley; but how he had managed on that swaying, slippery log to get me, helpless and unconscious, into the chair I do not know. Smertz? The boss got him away from the boys, locked him inside his office and stood guard over him until the police came. Otherwise they would have killed him. Famed Memorial Trees On the beautiful capitol grounds in Sacramento, Cal., there is a group of trees set out because of their historical interest, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. There is a red maple from Antietam, Md.; a white elm from near McKinley's tomb, Canton, O.; a white ash from Vicksburg, Miss., and many others from equally distinctive points. These trees are studied with surpassing interest by visitors from many states and foreign lands. Could anything be more befitting to the memory of a fallen soldier than to plant a walnut tree grown from a nut produced at such historical points as these? Keeping Up Appearance.

The committee visited all parts of the country except the Pacific coast. In discussing his report Chairman Calder sald, among other things: “The nation has had enough of gov- ernmental operation and control of business. And so the committee has recommended the establishment of a construction bureau in the Department of Commerce which may be a clearing house for all bullding actiyities and a place where information can be ob- tained concerning building materials. “Our committee has been informed that there is upward of $2,000,000,000 of savings deposits In the national banks of the country, and I have In- troduced a bill today which provides that 50 per cent of the savings depos- its In these banks may be loaned on mortgages on real estate. “Tax exempt securities have in- crensed in the last five years from $3,- 000,000,000 to over $14,000,000,000.

Senator Frelinghuysen held forth at fength on the subject the other day. He sald, among other things: “When war was declared in 1917 we had in the executive departments in Washington a total of 82,000 em- ployees. A year and a half later, at the time of the signing of the armis- tice, we had 117,000 employees. In a year congress cut this number to 87,- 000. After two years of actual if not technical peace we still have 55,000 more employees in Washington than when the war began.

The discussion on reparations was taken up in an atmosphere made un- favorable by the radical position as- sumed by M. Doumer, French minister of finance, who named 212,000,000,000 | gold marks as the total indemnity Ger- | many should pay. i M. Doumer's attitude caused embar- |rassment when the subject was re- j sumed, ‘The British premier is understood to jhaye indicated that the radical de }mands made by M. Doumer were im- possible of realization. The committee is composed of M. | Loucheur and Doumer for France, Baron D'Abernon and Sir Laming | Worhington-Evans for Great Britain, | Colonel Theunys for Belgimn, Signor | Giannini for Italy and Kengo Mori for Japan. Mr. Lloyd George took up the ques: tion of reparations at the opening: of the session of the council. He declared there was no difference of opinion regarding the merits of the problem. “Germany must pay to her utmost capacity,” he asserted. “To assure this the allies must stand together, “It is useless to try to get more than Germany cap pay, for her interests are identical with the interests of the al- lies. It is to Great Britain's interest, as well as to the interests of Belgium and France, that Germany pay to the last farthing, But the question is how to get it. “Germany could easily pay inside the Mmits of her own territory, but she cannot export her forests nor her rail- ways. “If the allies took possession of her railways and double the passenger and freight rates, they would be paid only In paper marks.” It was generally recognized France had sustained the greatest human loss and endured the greatest suffering, he said, but on the other hand, Great Brit- ain had been forced to incur the great financial expenditure. Her naval effort alone had cost £10,000,000,000, Germany, he continued, can pay only in exports. If she exported too much to the allies, it would mean the ruin of allied industries; if she exported too much to the neutrals, it would mean the loss to the allies of the neutral markets. Consequently, the question of effect: ively securing payment of reparations must be taken up with due account for these facts. ~. « Weatherhead Hat Co. ‘TELEPHONE mah PIONEER HATTERS MAIN 3208 cet OF THE WEST.

One of the biggest savers of time, strength, and labor in the kitchen is the sink. Yet many women are struggling along with none at all or, at best, a poor and badly placed one. The following suggestions in regard to sinks are given by household specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture: The size of the family and of the kitchen must determine the size of the sink, but a short sink with ample table and shelf room near it may be more convenient than a long sink. Two smaller sinks, one for the table dishes near the dining room and the other for general use in the kitchen, are very convenient. gather in the depressions when vegetable tables are cleaned, dishes washed etc. Like iron, they do not show whether they are clean or not. Enameled-iron sinks are smooth last well with careful use, and may be easily kept clean, but they are more expensive than iron. Porcelain sinks are similar to the enamele ones, but their price is almost prohibitive. Perhaps the ideal plan, if cost is not to be considered, would be to have an enameled or porcelain sink for the tableware in the kitchen or the pantry near the dining room and an iron or soapstone sink for the heavier kitchen ware. The double sinks, with one basin for No Cracks or Square Corners. The material should be the best available, nonabsorbent of grease as well as of moisture, and there should be no cracks or square corners to increase the work of keeping it clean. A wooden sink, even when it receives an annual coat of paint, will absorb moisture and grease which attract insects, and is likely to be swarming with bacteria and to "sour" and have an unpleasant odor. Even drainboards of wood are not recommended unless they have a waterproof finish of varnish, oil, or paint. If a wooden sink is necessary, it is better to have it metal lined, provided the sheets of metal, which is usually tin, zinc, galvanized iron, copper or lead, are soldered where they are joined and all parts of the sink, including the tops of the sides, are covered with the metal, so that there is no chance for the wood to absorb moisture. Another plan is to have a cement sink built into a wooden frame and lined with sheet copper or tin. Iron sinks of good quality are superior to wooden ones, since they do not absorb grease or moisture and are durable. They are easily kept clean if smooth (and they will soon wear smooth), but they have the disadvantage of neither showing dirt nor proclaiming their cleanliness. Unless the front is protected by a strip of wood, the dresses and aprons of the worker are likely to become stained with iron rust. A soapstone or a slate sink is durable, but sometimes becomes uneven with wear, and if this happens much brushing and scrubbing are required to remove the sand and grease that SUPERIOR QUALITIES OF HOME-MADE BREAD Most Appetizing of Foods When One Is Hungry. Loaf Should Be Light in Weight Considering Its Size, of Symmetrical Form, With an Unbroken, Golden-Brown Crust. Good home-made bread is about the most appetizing of foods when one is hungry, but there are many kinds of home-made bread. Some is good, some is bad, and some indifferent. Which kind do you make? If you don't know, judge it by the following description of a good loaf given by the home economics kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture: Good bread is porous and contains a large number of holes or cells, all of which are of about the same size and shape. It is better for some reasons to thick of it as a mass of tiny bubbles made of flour and water and hardened or fixed in shape by means of heat. This calls attention not only to the size of holes or cells, but also to the character of walls of the cells, which in good bread are always very thin. A loaf of bread should be light in weight, considering its size, and should have a symmetrical form and an unbroken, golden-brown crust. The crust should be smooth on top and should have a certain luster, to which the term "bloom" has been given. The loaf as a whole, the crust and the crumb, should be elastic. The loaf, if pressed out of shape, as it often is when slices are cut from it, should regain its form when the pressure is removed. Bits of the crust, if bent a little between the fingers, should show the same power to rebound, as should also the cut surface of the loaf if pressed. The crumb should be creamy white in color and should have a "sheen," which may be compared with the bloom of the crust. This sheen can best be seen by looking across a slice rather than directly down into it. The gather in the depressions when vegetables are cleaned, dishes washed, etc. Like iron, they do not show whether they are clean or not. Enameled-iron sinks are smooth, last well with careful use, and may be easily kept clean, but they are more expensive than iron. Porcelain sinks are similar to the enameled ones, but their price is almost prohibitive. Perhaps the ideal plan, if cost is not to be considered, would be to have an enameled or porcelain sink for the tableware in the kitchen or the pantry near the dining room and an iron or soapstone sink for the heavier kitchen ware. The double sinks, with one basin for washing and another for draining dishes, are very convenient, but unfortunately they are relatively expensive. A small sink with a rubber stopper for its escape pipe may be used as a dishpan. The plumbing should be easy of access, and therefore it is better that there should be no closet under the sink. Hooks or shelves under the sink or near it will accommodate everything usually kept in the dark, often musty, "sink closet" of older kitchens. A "sink closet" can be kept sweet and clean but it means extra work to do it. Location of Drain Boards If possible, there should be a wide shelf or drain board on each side of the sink on the level with the rim of the latter, one to receive soiled dishes and the other clean ones. Some housekeepers have these covered with zinc. As in all other places where it is used, the metal must be neatly fitted and closely fastened down so as not to leave any chance for loose, rough edges, or to provide breeding places for insects or a lodging place for grease and dirt. If there is no place for permanent drain boards, sliding or hinged shelves may be used. A right-handed person usually holds the dish in the left hand while washing or wiping it, and the dishcloth, dish mop, or towel in the right hand. It is convenient, therefore, to have the dishes move from right to left as they pass from disipan to rinsing pan, and from rinsing pan to drainer and tray. This should be kept in mind, and provision made for soiled dishes at the right and for a drain board at the left of the sink. distribution of the holes, on the other hand, and the thickness of the walls can best be examined by cutting a very thin slice and holding it up to the light. The flavor of the bread should be, as nearly as possible, the flavor of wheat developed or brought out by the use of salt. This flavor is not easy to describe, but is familiar to those who have tasted the wheat kernel. KITCHEN IS WORKSHOP The kitchen is the workshop in most farm homes. In it the housekeeper and her helpers prepare the food for the family, and from it as a center carry on most of the other housework. More and better work can be done in a well-lighted shop arranged for the comfort and convenience of the workers and equipped with good tools than in a dark shop where much time must be spent in unnecessary steps and energy wasted with scattered equipment. Business men have found this a sound principle, and it should be applied to the farm kitchen so that the housekeeper can do her work more quickly and with the least fatigue.

MORE GOOD THINGS. Here is an oyster stew which is a whole meal in itself: Take one pint of tomatoes, one pint of oysters, two cupfuls of diced potatoes, one pint of milk, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, one table- pint of oysters, two cupfuls of diced potatoes, one pint of milk, two teaspoonfuls of salt, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, one table-spoonful of butter, one cupful of bread cubes and two cupfuls of oyster liquor. Combine the tomatoes, potatoes and oyster liquor; cover with boiling water and cook until tender; add the oysters, milk, butter, and seasonings, and just bring to the boiling point; season, and when ready to serve, add the toasted bread cubes. Coconut Candy.—Make holes in the eyes of a coconut and drain off the milk. There should be at least half a cupful. Break the shell, remove the meat and pare off the dark rind, then put the coconut through the fine knife of the meat chopper, or grate it. There should be about three cupfuls. Add the sugar, milk and butter, and cook over a slow fire, stirring constantly until the mixture forms a soft ball when dropped in cold water. Remove, beat until it begins to thicken; add the flavoring, and pour into buttered tins. Cut into squares while still warm. If the dried coconut is used, add one cupful of milk to three cupfuls of coconut and cook in the top of a double boiler until the coconut is soft. If the fresh is used, add three cupfuls of brown sugar and a tablespoonful of butter to one-half cupful of the coconut milk. Flavor with two teaspoonfuls of vanilla just when taking from the stove. Virginia Apple Sauce.—Take three cupfuls of apple, three cupfuls of cornmeal, one teaspoonful of salt and one cupful of water. Combine the chopped apple with the cornmeal using the yellow meal; add water and salt and mix well. Drop by spoonfuls on a greased baking sheet and bake in a moderate oven until the apples are cooked and the pone brown. Serve hot with syrup.

Grape Juice Sponge—Soften one-fourth of a package of gelatin in one-fourth of a cupful of cold water and dissolve in half a cupful of hot grape juice; add two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, half cupful of cold grape juice and the juice of half a lemon. Stir over ice water until the mixture begins to tiffen. Beat the whites of three eggs until light, then gradually beat the grape juice mixture into them. Continue to beat the mixture until firm, then dispose it a teaspoonful at a time in a mold lined with marshmallows cut in halves. Cut the other half of the lemon in slices and above each slice pipe some of the gelatin mixture. Use these to decorate the unmolded sponge. Peach Cobbler.—Butter the outside of a custard cup and insert in the center of a deep pudding dish. Fill the space around with the peaches and sprinkle thickly with sugar. For the crust, take two cupfuls of flour, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one half teaspoon of salt, sift and rub in two tablespoonfuls of butter or substitute for butter. To three-quarters of a cup of milk add one beaten egg, mix, roll out and cover the peaches. Bake half an hour in a hot oven. Invert on a deep plate and the cup will be filled with a delicious sirup, to be used for sauce. Any juicy fruit may be substituted, fresh or canned. "Three" Ice Cream.-Take three lemons, the juice, three oranges, and three bananas, three cupfuls of sugar, three cupfuls of water, and one-half pint of cream. Put the bananas through a riceer, add the orange and lemon juice and sugar, pour into a freezer, add the cream and freeze as usual. This amount serves ten people.

The children of the family, being the most important members as to proper feeding, may follow the English custom, which is ideal, of having a table of their own, where they are not permitted any compromise may follow the English custom, which is ideal, of having a table of their own, where they are not permitted any compromise between what they ought to have and what they want. The result is of course sturdy, healthy youngsters. A few American families are now following this system, but the most as yet from necessity; others from indifference allow the children to eat with the family, where they usually have what they cry for, for the sake of pence at the sacrifice of manners, morals and physique. The average housemother cannot run two sets of meals and serve at the same time the needs of the young and the desires of the old. One may restrict the diet of the elders to conform to the food which should be given the young for the two meals of the day, having dinner at noon, or let the little people have supper by themselves earlier than the evening dinner hour. Children under five should never be given food not suited to their age and condition. The problem then is to serve meals which will be suitable for the whole family for breakfast and luncheon, and neither unbalanced nor inadequate for either child or adult. In the feeding of children consideration must be made in the difference between a child and an adult. In comparison of size the child is doing a great deal more work than the adult, but his natural appetite will take care of the amount of food needed to build the body and keep up energy. The child's food, because he has to use more, must be easily digested, more wholesome and be better balanced, or trouble will follow. Children should have fats, such as cream, butter and olive oil, all easily digested. Plenty of fat, two ounces of butter to a pound of bread is considered a normal amount—a great factor in growth. When the child refuses to eat stop feeding or give liquid diet, and consult a physician. The child, fortunately, who has not been pampered, does not need a variety of food to stimulate the appetite, neither sauces nor condiments; "hunger is the best sauce." Leisure misused, an idle hour waiting to be employed, idle hands waiting with no occupation, idle and empty minds with nothing to think of—these are the main temptations to evil. Fill up that empty void, employ those vacant hours, occupy those listless hands—the world is desperately in need of earnest workers—then evil will depart because it has no place to enter, because it is conquered by good. Dean Stanley. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. When the ordinary foods lose their interest try these: Italian Round Steak.—Put two pounds of round steak and two ounces of beef suet through a meat chopper; add one-fourth of a cupful of breadcrumbs, a teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of pepper, one ta- ```markdown ``` blespoonful of grated onion, two well-beaten eggs; mix well and form together into balls the size of an egg. Simmer together one can of tomatoes, one cupful of water, one onion, one clove of garlic, one green pepper sliced fine, two cloves, two tablespoonfuls of butter, one teaspoonful of salt, a small pinch of bay leaf; after one half hour press through a sieve. Reheat in a shallow dish; when boiling lay in the balls, cover and simmer one hour. Have ready two-thirds of a package of elbow macaroni cooked tender in salted water, drained and rinsed in water. Lift the meat balls from the dish to the center of the serving dish, surround the meat with the macaroni, pour the sauce over the macaroni, then sprinkle with half a cupful of grated cheese. Garnish with rings of green peppers. Jellied Fruit Salad.—Soften one ounce, or two and one-half tablespoonfuls, of gelatin in half a cupful of water, and dissolve in one cupful of boiling water; and add-thirds of a cupful of sugar, the juice of half a lemon, one cupful of pineapple juice, and stir until the sugar is dissolved; set the liquid into a dish of ice water, and when it begins to thicken stir in six slices of canned pineapple cut in small wedge-shaped bits and two-thirds of a cupful of took grapes cut in halves and seeded. When the mixture is thick enough to hold up the fruit turn into a mold or small pan. When ready to serve unmold and cut into eight pieces. Serve in crisp heart leaves of lettuce with dressing poured over it. Sprinkle with nuts and serve. FIRST CLASS MEALS SERVED HOME COOKING Phone Main 4843 J.

A Blouses Offer Wide Choice 1 NEW suits for spring have made their entry in a bevy of models that includes familiar styles, and others ingeniously designed and less familiar. A few of these new things will prove short-lived experiments, but there are several good novel styles with a promising future. There are more short coats than long ones among the new arrivals—short coats being springlike and youthful—and there are short capes and coats to be worn with one-piece frocks or skirts and blouses that are unusually good looking. These coats are much like the Chinese model, but with more flare to the body, suggestive of a cape, and there is every reason to predict that they will become a fashion. The dignified long coat and the sensible three-quarter length are always serenely sure of a following, and therefore they are well represented in the new displays, the shorter of these outnumbering other styles. A handsome Blouses Offer IN CHOOSING new blouses one is apt to waver between those that promise to be perpetually fresh looking—since they may be laundered easily—and those that entice with lovely color. In the end it turns out that both kinds find their way into the wardrobe. To wear with suits and separate skirts, the dauntiness of sheer cotton fabrics, made up with exquisite needle work and good laces, never appears in vain to women of refinement. There are many of these blouses in the shops now and they are among the things that a good seamstress can make for herself successfully. Dellicate hand work is expensive for those who must buy it, but costs the needlewoman little but her time. The new lingerie blouses are nearly all long-sleeved and have collars that reach the nape of the neck in the back but are open at the throat. Drawn work, hemsititching, pin tucks, narrow frills, fine laces in edgings and insertions tell the story of embellishments on them. Not all of them are white, for batiste is shown in some colors; porcelain blue makes a lovely blouse. The blouses shown in the picture are both made of georgette, which appears in a lovely range of soft colors for spring. A peplum blouse appears at the left of the two, made with shoulder yoke and finished with satin pipings. Scattered motifs in bead embroidery settle the question of decoration and the round neck survives in his model; but the sleeves are long, narrow belt of georgette falls short --- model in the first of these two classes is shown at the left of the two spring suits pictured and it can be recommended to the older women more particularly, just as it is. Its skirt is bordered at the bottom with a narrow band braided—or embroidered—in leaf and another color. The coat is straight with simulated belt at the long waistline, slightly flaring and long sleeves, and a loosely adjusted and interesting collar, in as much as it is a type greatly favored in collars for this spring. The sleeves make place for a deep band of braiding or embroidery that gives an invaluable finish to a rich looking suit. If one is looking for something novel the suit at the right claims attention on this score. It has a tunic skirt and a very odd and ingeniously cut jacket that is extended at the bottom into shaped sash ends. Narrow braid in two widths outlines the edges, and the sleeves add their approval to the long bell-shaped style. Wide Choice of encircling the waist, stopping at each side of the front where two small buttons punctuate its finish. Among so many colors in georgette one may choose a dark blouse, like that at the right. It has a short peplum at the back and has fallen in with the long-sleeved vogue, but chooses the flaring style. The neck reveals a pretty eccentricity in short slashes at each side, and for trimming there are bands of bugles and beads.
