TO RAISE MEMBERSHIP TO QUARTER OF MILLION BEFORE JUNE VOL. XXVII. James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced that the association was about to enter upon a drive to increase its membership to 250,000 before next June. In making the announcement Mr. Johnson made public the fighting program which the association had adopted for the coming year. Mr. Johnson's statement follows: "A quarter of a million people is a force which cannot be ignored. Neither Congress nor the oppressors of a quarter of a million colored and white people determined that the Negro shall be given in the United States what the federal constitution promises to every man irrespective of race or color. "With a totally inadequate membership the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has already undertaken and carried to a successful conclusion tasks of the first magnitude. The brutal invasion and the exploitation of Haiti was brought before the bar of judgment not only of Americans but of the civilized world. Anti-lynching legislation has been introduced, at the instance of this association, in both houses of Congress. The disfranchisement of colored people has been carried before the census committee of the House of Representatives. A campaign initiated against the Ku Klux Klan by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has met with the endorsement and support of labor unions in New York and elsewhere. Robert L. Hill, charged with leading the colored farmers in Arkansas, was defended in court and freed and the cases of his companions carried to the State Supreme Court of Arkansas, which twice reversed their convictions. "These are only a few of the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in 1920. They will be extended and given greater power as the membership increases. The association has no hesitation in making a country-wide appeal for co-operation and support, and for a quarter of a million members or more before next June, in behalf of the following program for 1921: 1. Anti-lynching legislation by Congress. 2. Abolition of segregation in the departments at Washington. 3. Enfranchisement of the Negro in the South or reduction of southern representation, if necessary. 4. Restoration of Haitian independence and reparation, as far as possible, for wrongs committed there by the American administration, through congressional investigation of both military and civil acts of the American occupation. 5. Presentation to the new President of a mammoth petition of say 100,000 bona fide signers, collected by the various branches, requesting the pardon of the soldiers of the Twenty-fourth infantry imprisoned at Leavenworth on the charge of rioting at Houston Texas. 6. The abolition of Jim Crow cars in interstate traffic. 7. Treatment of colored men in the navy; where once many ratings as non-commissioned officers were held by Negroes, now colored men can enlist only as mess boys, in other servants. words, as servants 8. Appointment of colored assist- state Hist. & Nat Hist Woo State House ant secretaries in the Departments of Labor and Agriculture which would give the Negro official representation in the two phases of national life where he needs most and suffers most. 9. Appointment of a national Inter-Racial Commission to make an earnest study of race conditions and race relations in the United States. 10. Continuance of the fight in the Arkansas cases. 11. The successful holding of the second Pan-American Congress that the colored people of the world may gain a mutual understanding of their common problems. 12. The defeat by every legitimate means of the nefarious Ku Klux Klan, both South and North. "In organization there is power. As I have said: A quarter of a million is a force which cannot be ignored."

Rome, Italy, Feb. 4.—The pope has received a special mission sent by Waisern Zaudultu, Empress of Abyssinia and the Prince Regent, Ras Tafari Makonnen, bringing messages and presents. The mission was composed of French missionaries, to whose care the Ethiopian Catholics are intrusted. The presents included a processional cross of massive silver from the Empress and a pectoral crucifix of massive gold from the Prince Regent. There was another gold pectoral cross from the governor of Harrar to the pope and a silver crucifix from the prince regent to Cardinal Gasparri. All the resents were interesting specimens of Abyssinian craftsmanship. BISHOP BROOKS GIVEN A THUS AND DOLLARS. Baltimore, Md.—One thousand dollars will be remembered that it was in this was presented to Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., as a testimonial for his work in West Africa at a meeting held in Bethel A. M. E. Church here last night. It was the most enthusiastic gathering ever held in this city for a prelate of the A. M. E. Conference. Hundreds of persons were unable to gain admittance to the church and were compelled to stand in line on outside to get a glimpse at the distinguished party who are to sail from New York at noon Saturday. During the ceremonies, which were under the auspices of the dignitaries of the church it was announced that Bishop Wm. H. Heard had been appointed to look after the Oklahoma Conference during the absence of Bishop Brooks. The popularity of Bishop Brooks was attested at this meeting by the great crowd of people who turned out. It will be remembered that it was in this city and in this church that he made his record as the "Money King" of his conference. WANTS LINCOLN MADE A STATE UNIVERSITY. Jefferson City, Mo., Feb. 4.—Representative Walthall Moore, $t. Louis, only member of our race elected to the Legislature, has introduced his first bill. It is to expand the Lincoln Institute to a state university with an appropriation of $1,000,000 for this purpose. This is one of the things demanded from the Republicans by the race during the last campaign, but white Republicans refused to include it in their platform, and Moore's election followed. Savannah, Ga., Jan. 31.—Phillip Smith, for more than forty years a porter at the Savannah Cotton Exchange, died here last Saturday. The flag was flown at half mast. OLD EMPLOYE HONORED. ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19 1921 FOOD FOR THOUGHT THE UNIVERSAL NEGRO IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION PROGRAM "You cannot expect that the other man who has no blood relation to you, who has all the wealth in the world, and you have nothing, to take you into his house and to his bosom and call you 'brother!' It is unreasonable, it is foolish; because I am expecting him to give me more than I can give him and he is not going to do it. And that is just why white folks despise Negroes. White folks travel through the world and wheresoever they find other white folks they reciprocate with each other. The Englishman can hand out something to the American white man, the American to the German white man, the German to the French white man, and so on, and that is why there is an interchange between the white peoples of the world. You hear of some rich American marrying some English noblewoman, or some titled Englishman marrying an American heiress. That is quite natural, for each has something equivalent to give. But what would white folks want to marry poor Negroes for? Why, they have everything to lose and nothing to gain; and I cannot understand why we should be crazy to believe that they should. They cannot do it and they will not do it! When you can produce to the world Morgans and Vanderbilts and Astors and Goulds and Carnegies—that time they will be willing to come and meet you on the plane of equality. Do you think white folks who dress up in diamonds and beautiful evening dresses are going to Africa and catch naked savages and bring them back and put them into their homes to enjoy everything there? Why, they are afraid they would eat up everything (Laughter.) They are not going to do it! Therefore the best thing to do is to go on, get hold of those naked savages and make men of them; and when we bring them up to the standard of human equality, the world will judge us at the standard we present to them. (Applause.) That is just what the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to do, and I cannot see why anybody should have any objection to such a program. . . . "—The Negro World. SUES GEORGIA FARMER. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 7.—Suits seeking $25,000 damages will be brought in the Federal District Court against Tom Erwin, wealthy farmer of Oglethorpe county, by two Negroes alleged to have been held in a state of peonage. Their attorney is Roy S. Drennan. They are Grover White and Walter Martin. The basis of the suit is false arrest and imprisonment, said to have been caused by Erwin, so that the men might be held in bondage on his property. Martin told District Attorney Hooper Alexander he had been worked by Erwin for eight years, receiving only his food and clothing. White told of serving three years under similar circumstances. On several occasions, the men said, they escaped, but were captured and flogged. Their story is one of many relating to peonage on which the district attorney's appeals "to the conscience of the people of Georgia" were based. Erwin was an overseer on the estate of the late Jim Smith, whose holdings of millions are involved in complicated litigation. NEGRO BANKS IN TIDEWATER. VIRGINIA NEGRO BANKS IN TIDEWATER. VIRGINIA We point with pride to the marvelous growth of Negro financial institutions in Tidewater, Virginia. There are operating today banking institutions with a combined capital and surplus of over $558,900, deposits of over $1,900,000, and total resources of nearly $3,000,000. Following a liberal policy of credit extension, safeguarded by sound and effective methods of protection, the Negro banks of Tidewater offer encouragement to all trades and professions. As a result of this policy confidence has been inspired and arid new and necessary enterprises have come into the service of the people. Perhaps the greatest service these banks are rendering to the community is the encouragement of thrift among our people. Some of the different methods which the banks are using to encourage thrift are the savings department, Christmas savings clubs, vacation clubs, home banks, and the public school savings department. All of these serve as a means of education and are very effective in encouraging thrift. The Christmas savings clubs alone this year represented a saving of nearly $500,000. At least 75 per cent of this half million dollars will be spent with white merchants because of the appalling lack of Negro merchants with sufficient volume and variety of goods to meet the public demand. Aside from encouraging thrift these banks are offering encouragement and assistance to Negro merchants with the hope that their service may in the future compete favorably with that of white merchants.—William M. Rich, in the Southern Workman. DISTINCTIVE AMERICAN MUSIC The Negro's plantation songs, known as "Spirituals," are said by competent critics to be the only distinctive American music. The honor belongs entirely to the black slave, and is immensely significant. It is also predicted that out of these sacred melodies some master composer will some day evolve a great symphony. Dvorak, the Bohemian composer, may have heralded this musical achievement. But the sister art of poetry may anticipate music in the great feat of embodying artistically the yearning, suffering, prayerful soul of the African in those centuries when he could only with patience endure and trust in God—and wall these mournfullest of melodies. Some drama like "Prometheus Bound," but more touching as being more human; some epic like "Paradise Lost," but nearer to the common heart of man: some "Divina Commedia" that shall be the voice of those silent centuries of slavery, as Dante's poem was the voice of the long-silent epoch preceding it, is the not improbable achievement of some descendant of the slaves. In a poem of merit and tender appeal, James Weldon Johnson has celebrated the "black and unknown burds," who, without art, and even without letters, produced from their hearts, weighed with sorrows, the immortal Spirituals. Unique and extraordinary praise rightly belongs to that black folk who gave to the world this treasure of religious song. To the world, I say, for I believe they belong as truly to the world as do the quaint and precious animal stories of Uncle Remus. Their appeal is to every human heart, especially to those who have known sorrow and are acquainted with grief, and who look to God for help.—Robert T. Kerlin in the Southern Workman. WHITEMAN IN LOVE WITH COLORED WOMAN KILLS SELF WHITEMAN IN LOVE WITH COLORED WOMAN KILLS SELF Vicksburg, Miss.—This fate-cursed city, almost deserted by kindly thoughts of honest men since an innocent colored boy was burned to give a holiday to school children, has been thrown into another "radical fit" over the tragedy in which Eugene McBlain, a white man, killed himself after he had attempted to murder his colored "woman." Blanche Lewis. McBlain was madly in love with Blanche. He said that he had wanted to leave her, but she had spread her charms through his life. He came to this city, it is said, from Oklahoma. He opened a grocery store in Mulberry street, and shortly after "took up" with Blanche after the fashion of white men of past times. Greatly Atached to Her. Greatly Attached. McBlain became greatly attached to Blanche, but he soon discovered that it is not easy for a white man to live with a colored woman in adultery as in former times, and he met his shadow at every turn. But Blanche held on, McBlain saw no way out of his despair. "I can't marry her," he said, "and I can't live with her, I know. Perhaps we can live together in another world." McBlain oiled up his weapon. Thursday morning McBlain opened fire on Blanche without warning. He saw her reel and fall. Thinking that she had given up the ghost, he turned his gun on himself, and a bullet tore through his brain. Will Her All. The case is a strange one, since a note was found that had been written by McBlain. "I am tired of living," it read, "Blanche Lewis is the reason. My will is in favor of Blanche Lewis." Love had driven McBlain insane, for he had given all he had on earth to the woman he sought to murder before taking his own life. McBlain is said to have left a family in Oklahoma. A NEGRO CLUB BOYS' WORK When he was 10 years old, Wallace Jones of Charles City county, Virginia, began club work as a minor club boy. He planted one row of butter beans fifty feet long the first year, and cultivated these as instructed. He harvested a bushel of beans from his row, enough to supply his father's family of eight for one month. He prepared his acre early for corn by plowing seven inches deep and harrowing it until thoroughly pulverized. He planted pure-bred Boone county corn on May 15, in drills four feet apart and twenty-eight inches in the drill. He cultivated his plot five times and kept it clean of weeds and grass. His father remarked when he saw the seed that it was the most trifling looking seed corn he had ever seen, but since the agent had secured it for him he would let it be planted. The corn came up, made a good growth, and proved to be the best on the farm. Wallace cultivated, besides his corn, two rows of peanuts and one row of sweet potatoes. He harvested thirty bushels of corn from his acre, three bushels of peanuts, and two bushels of potatoes. He exhibited at the State Fair ten ears of corn, five sweet potatoes, one quart of peanuts, and six peanut vines. He won ninth prize on corn and fourth on the best six vines of peanuts. He made the same exhibit at his county fair and won first prize on sweet potatoes. He won $4.50 in prizes and the net proceeds of his crops amounted to $37.—Southern Workman.

FIRST JURY OF NEGRO WOMEN REFUSES DAMAGES TO MAN WHOSE WAGON IS DEMOLISHED Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 17.—It took a jury of twelve Negro women—the first of this color and sex in the history of jurisprudence, so it is said—just twelve minutes to decide that Daniel Holt, Negro coal hauler, was not entitled to damages from Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Fife for crashing into his wagon with their automobile. The defendants also are of color. The whole thing was an accident, the jury decided after a solemn session in a justice of the peace court. Despite the fact that Holt was catapulted from his seat into the street, the wagon demolished and the horse so badly battered he has had to be propped up to eat, no damages were forthcoming. SEGREGATION IS GIVEN DEATH BLOW BY COURTS. Des Moines, Ia., Jan. 31.—Judge Lawrence DeGraff, formerly judge of the District, but now judge of the Supreme Court of the state of Iowa, has just signed an opinion just before he left the District bench in the very important case which had for its object to annul or cancel a contract because a clause was in said contract which prevented the purchaser from selling his property to a Negro or persons of African descent. This is the first case that has ever been brought in Iowa and no doubt will be far-reaching in its effect. The defendant in the case was Attorney John L. Thompson, who was assisted by George H. Waadson, and it was a great victory for Mr. Thompson and his assistant. FOREIGN Seven persons have been convicted of selling cocaine to the American troops at Coblenz.

A. camp in Estes Park, June 4 to 14. This is earlier than usual, the dates being advanced in order not to conflict with eastern conferences. A clash in dates in the past has divided talent. This June the students will have the advantage of all the best talent on the Y. M. C. A. circuit. RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations. Eric Gustave Gronquist, an ex-soldier who contracted tuberculosis while serving overseas, and who is now confined to the Swedish National Sanatorium in Englewood, where he is in a critical condition, was admitted to citizenship by Judge Samuel Johnson, who, with Naturalization Examiner M. F. Lence, conducted a court session at the young man's bedside. "The Grand Cañon road, a part of the Pike's Peak Ocean-to-Ocean highway, declared to be one of the most important highways in the state, will be opened by June 1, upon the completion of the Glenwood Cañon road, which is now being constructed by the State Highway Department, at a cost of $49,000," Commissioner T. J. Ehrhardt declared in Denver. THE COLORADO STATESMAN A tri-county fair with Jefferson, Arapahoe and Denver counties as the participants is assured for next summer at Overland park, Denver, according to information received in Golden. Three men from each county are to be named on a board of directors to carry out the plans. A meeting was held in Denver to perfect the arrangements. The Golden city council has voted to call the last $4,000 of a bond issue of $50,000 which was authorized in 1879 to build the old Golden waterworks system. For many years no effort was made to liquidate this indebtedness, Golden's bonded indebtedness was decreased $14,000 last year. Unequaled as an advertising medium for the business of professional men and women. Russell Downing, 14 years old, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Downing, was killed instantly in Boulder when he fell from a bicycle against a barb wire fence, which was highly charged from a high-power electric line, by a fallen telephone wire crossing the two. The case against Charles J. O'Hara, held in the Arapahoe county jail in Littleton on a charge of holding up the cashier of the bank of $3,000, has been continued, following a motion for a change of venue which was heard in the District Court before District Attorney Samuel Johnson. At a meeting in Pueblo of forest rangers and officials of five districts, the matters of grazing lands and timber sales were considered. Assistant District Foresters Thompson and John H. Hutton, District Engineer Mendenhall and P. Kiplinger, all of the Denver office, were present. An excellent family journal speaking to and for many thousand colored citizens. An unidentified negro house robber was shot and almost instantly killed and his negro companion is believed to have been injured in a gun battle in Denver by Patrolman Leslie Sawyer, after the alleged bandit and his companion had fired several shots at the officer. TWODOLLARSAYEAR Mrs. Minnie Cox, tried on a charge of murder in the first degree for killing her husband, Patrolman Albert Cox, on Oct. 30, last, was acquitted of the charge by a jury in the West Side Court in Denver. THE GREAT ORGAN OF THE Insanity in Colorado is on the increase, according to H. A. La Moure, superintendent of the state hospital for the insane at Pueblo, who shows in his biennial report to Governor Shoup that the number of inmates in the institution now is 15.2 per cent greater than the number at the beginning of the biennial period. LABORING MASSES Records in attendance, livestock entries, exhibits extraordinary were smashed with the opening of the fifth annual San Luis Valley Stock Show, held under the auspices of the High Order of Grunts at Monte Vista. WASHINGTON SIDELIGHTS No Cedar Boxes for the House This Year Water Power and the National Parks A Federal Library Information Service PUBLIQUE Honors for Liggett, BILL TO CREATE IN THE ARMY OF THE J. S. THE GRADE OF MILITEMANNT GENERAL WASHINGTON.—At the request of the committee on military affairs Senator Wadsworth of New York recently got before the senate Bill 3224, which is in part: "Be it enacted, etc., That in the army of the United States the grade of lieutenant general is hereby revived, and the President is hereby authorized, in his discretion and by and with the advice and consent of the senate, to appoint to said grade one general officer, who, within the United States, prior to the close of the recent war, rendered especially distinguished service, and two general officers, who, prior to the close of hostilities, especially distinguished themselves in command of field armies in the American expeditionary forces," etc. Senator Wadsworth said in part: "The terms confine the recognition to two generals, General Liggett and Gen- EVERY now and then congress considers a very important and serious subject—like packing boxes. The house was considering the sundry civil bill by items. Here are parts of the debate on packing boxes: Mr. Mann—"I move to strike out the last word. The next item in the current law is a provision for packing boxes. It was left out of this bill. I think there is an item in the bill for packing boxes for senators." Mr. Wood—"Nine hundred and seventy dollars." Mr. Mann—"It is not a matter of any very great importance to me personally, but I was wondering what the special reason was for refusing to make provision for packing boxes, especially for the new members of the next house." Mr. Wood—"We appropriated $6,000 for this purpose last year. The clerk, who has the expenditure in charge, ascertained that he could not get the boxes without paying three times as much as the appropriation and three times as much as he formerly paid for them. In view of that fact, no boxes were purchased." Mr. Mann—"The purpose of providing packing boxes was to furnish boxes which could be used in carrying official documents back and forth between Washington and our homes, including ```markdown ``` DEBATE in the house over the Roosevelt-Sequoia National park bill brought to the surface the fight between the water-power interests and defenders of the national parks. This bill provides for the enlargement of Sequoia and the change of name to Roosevelt. The water-power interests are desirous of getting water-power permits on waters flowing west out of the proposed addition, as the power can be easily delivered to Pacific coast cities. Under the new water-power act the water-power commission may grant permits in all public lands, including national parks. A bill to amend this act by excluding the national parks has been introduced. Roosevelt Sequoia bill came up THERE is a bill pending in congress to provide for a library information service in the bureau of education. Senator McLean of Connecticut spoke in favor of the bill the other day and said, among other things: "The bill proposes to make available to the federal government the services of the libraries of the United States as centers for the dissemination of information prepared by the government for the people. The libraries are especially fitted to place government printed matter before the people, because they are supported by the taxes of the people for the benefit of the people, and are nonpartisan in their attitude. "If the education of the American people with regard to the functions and actions of their government is an economy measure, this bill is one of the most economic measures ever reported by congressional committees. Even if it must be considered purely from a dollars-and-cents' point of view, it will stand the test. Senator Emot recently said: 'It would be U.S. CAPITAL Bullard and March eral Bullard. General Liggett commanded the First army, and General Bullard the Second. General Liggett must be retired on account of age on March 21 next. General Bullard has three more years to serve upon the active list before retirement. The committee very sincerely believes that the bill should pass, but is especially concerned over the status of General Liggett. If congress does not take any action with respect to him at this session he will be retired in the grade of major general, which he now occupies. It is accurate to say that General Liggett is the only general officer of the army who, after the war is over, finds himself in the same grade which he occupied before the war started. General Liggett had under his command approximately a million men. Next to General Pershing himself, he carried the greatest responsibility of any officer of the American expeditionary forces in the management of combat troops in the field in the face of the enemy." During debate it came out that General March was the third general officer intended to be promoted. Senators objected to immediate action, and to an amendment singling out General Liggett. Presently the whole matter of promotions of all grades of officers was under discussion. The result was that no action was taken at all. a box for shipment of plants from the Botanical Gardens. I am frank to say that I have been here long enough to get an accumulation of packing boxes." Mr. Garner.—"I should like to ask why it is that they put in the appropriation for the senate packing boxes and not for the house?" Mr. Wood.—"That was the estimate made in the senate, and the gentleman from Texas understands that it would be lese majesty to attempt any cutting in our neighbor's household." Mr. Smith—"Mr. Chairman, I desire to offer an amendment, at the bottom of page 18, to insert the following: 'For packing boxes, $6,000, or so much thereof as may be necessary.'" Mr. Blanton—"Mr. Chairman, I make the point of order against the amendment. It is unauthorized by law." The Chairman—"The Chair sustains the point of order." on the unanimous consent calendar and Smith of Idaho, who is championing the bill which grants an irrigation reservoir site in Yellowstone National park, promptly objected to its consideration. He withheld his objection while Elston of California set forth various changes that he was ready to make to meet objections and added: "I would further state that, in regard even to the use of the waters in this additional area, that subject is covered by the water-power act, and all those waters are now available for use under the administration of the water-power commission. I hope that this statement will satisfy the gentleman that all his basic objections to this bill have been met. Unless he is opposed to the general proposition of adding a new wonderland of alpine scenery to an existing park he should permit this bill to be considered at this time." After some debate Smith of Idaho said: "On general principles I am opposed to tying up in a national park any public lands which might be used for the conservation of water for irrigation purposes or might be used for the development of water power; and I therefore object." more accurate to estimate the waste in government publications to be nearly a million dollars a year.' If for $18,700, the cost of the service, which is about one fifty-fourth of a million, even one-tenth of the material could be salvaged, the new office would have justified itself as an economy measure. "The American people support expensive research sections in practically every department of the government. It is their right to have access to the results of this work which appear in printed form. It is, therefore not ruthless elimination of valuable publications that is required, but educational advertising and intelligent placing of this printed matter." HOUSE SESSION IS BROKEN UP REPRESENTATIVES HOWL AP PROVAL AS TEXAN ATTACKS COLLEAGUE. MEMBERS SHOUT LIAR DENY CHARGES OF RAIDING TREASURY FOR SALARY INCREASES. Washington, Feb. 18.—Hoots, cat calls and word "liar" were shouts in the House in the stormiest session in years. The uproar started when Representative Summers of Texas, having left a sick bed, appeared and supported by most members of his own state, attacked his colleague, Representative Blanton. Rumors had been circulated that the Texans were preparing an attack, but it was held off until Mr. Summers could direct it. When he stepped forward, holding a faded newspaper clipping, nearly every member was on the floor. Read by the clerk, the clipping revealed that Mr. Blanton, in a letter to Texas newspapers, had charged members with a plan to raid the treasury and obtain salary increases, which he alone had prevented heretofore. The press was asked to help, and many papers responded with bitter assaults on those charged with backing the alleged salary grab. There was a tense moment as the reading was concluded and Mr. Summers stepping close to Mr. Blanton's seat, shook his fist in the latter's face and shouted: "And when you sent that statement to Texas you knew it was false!" The House broke into a wild shout, half the membership rising. Blanton, jumping up and trying to make himself heard, demanded the right to speak. He was howled down, the chair sustaining a point of order that he could not be heard at that time on a question of personal privilege. Mr. Summers, walking back and forth, continued. Blanton's eyes following his every step. The speech was constantly interrupted with shouting. Mr. Summers declared the record showed no effort had been made to slip through a salary increase bill, and that Mr. Blanton's claim that he was forced to remain constantly on the floor to block it, was absurd and untrue. The question had come up twice, Mr. Summers said, and it was blocked on points of order by Representative Byrnes, Democrat, Tennessee, and Representative Wood, Republican, Indiana. Mr. Blanton, he asserted, was not even "in on the wake." The demonstration reached remarkable proportions when a tap of the gavel marked the close of the time allotted for the speech. Democrats, first on their feet, were joined instantly by every Republican. There was a rush to the front, as members struggled to shake Mr. Summers' hand. Oppose Tariff on Lumber. Washington.—Retail lumber dealers appeared before the House ways and means committee in opposition to a tariff on lumber. It was claimed such a duty would impose a hardship on home builders and reduce the building of homes. E. B. Hill of Pittsburg, representing the National Retail Lumber Dealers' Association, declared such a tariff would produce only a small revenue, and would "jeopardize the home building program." Miss Wilson Flays Congressmen. Washington.—Members of Congress who, she said, had opposed appropriations for local community centers on the ground that they were "breeding unrest," were taken to task by Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of the President, in an address before the National Woman's party convention. Declaring there was no evidence to support the charge, she asserted that, even granting there was, it was "not the business of Congress to supervise the activities of speech of those they represent." Labor Leaders Ask for Delay. Chicago.—Labor leaders appeared before the Railroad Labor Board here in an effort to check the railway executives' drive against national agreements. This drive, B. M. Jewell, chairman of the employés' committee, declared, was intended to obscure the fundamental issue at stake, which, employés have declared, were the open-shop movement and an attempt to erush organized labor. Negro Women Decide Case. Indianapolis, Ind.—It took a jury of twelve negro women—the first of this color and sex in the history of jurisprudence, so it is said—just twelve minutes to decide that Daniel Holt, negro coal hauler, was not entitled to damages from Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Fife, who crashed into his wagon with their automobile. The defendants also are negroes. The whole thing was an accident, the jury decided after a solemn session in a Justice of the Peace Court. LEGISLATIVE NEWS LEGISLATIVE NEWS UP.TO.DATE REPORT OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE AT THE STATE CAPITOL. The upper house passed on second reading seven bills recommended by the Denver district attorney's office, and two others. The seven include: S. B. 127—To permit the district attorney of Denver, with consent of the district judges, to appoint a chief deputy district attorney at an annual salary not to exceed $4,000. S. B. 128—To fix deputy district attorneys' salaries at not more than $2,000 in ordinary counties of the first and second class, and at not more than $3,000 in Denver, where the salary now is $2,400. S. B. 162—By which district attorneys and their assistants will not be required to give bond. S. B. 164—To permit the district attorney in Denver to hire stenographers—number not specified—at $1,500 a year and two special officers at $1,500 a year. Senator Knauss said the present law permits hiring of only one stenographer, although three are in the district attorney's office now to take care of the stenographic work there. S. B. 167—To amend the statute on subnation of perjury and perjury. S. B. 168—To tighten the regulations governing notaries public. S. B. 181—To permit judges, with consent of the district attorney and defendant, to direct juries to bring in sealed verdicts in all criminal cases, except those involving the death sentence or life imprisonment, when the jury is unable to reach agreement before adjournment of court for the day. The House passed on second reading a measure by Representative A. M. Wilson of El Paso county, prohibiting clairvoyancy, palmistry, astrology and other forms of fortune telling, and providing a penalty, of six months in jail and a $500 fine. Representative Mabel Ruth Baker of Denver moved that the enacting clause be stricken from the bill. She said that it was her view that any woman had a right to have her fortune told to determine who her future husband might be, if she so desired. She also declared that many women were making their living by practicing clairvoyancy and that she believed they had a right to do so and were not doing any harm. The motion to strike out the enacting clause was defeated. Representatives Wilson, Pollock and Frank E. Mortenson called clairvoyants "home wreckers" and "fakers." speed up legislation in the state House of Representatives and bring before that body some of the constructive measures introduced but still slumbering in committee, the Republican majority effected appointment of a steering committee. That there is need for a steering committee is evidenced by the fact that while 1,100 bills were introduced, the two houses so far have passed upon slightly more than 100 measures. The majority of these have been repeal bills drawn by the statute revision committee to kill laws that now are inoperative, in conflict or unconstitutional. The House adopted the Senate joint memorial introduced in the upper body calling upon Secretary of War Baker and Congress to take immediate steps to gain the release from a German prison at Eberbach, Germany, of Frank Zimmer, a Denver soldier, arrested with Charles Neuf, also an American soldier, following their reported effort to capture Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, notorious millionaire ender of the American draft law. The memorial will be sent to Washington immediately. Since the so-called anti-price discrimination bill considered in the lower house was referred to committee, a strong Republican lobby has developed against it, and opponents say it has a fragile lease on life. According to members in the last session, the same measure was passed on third reading by the House two years ago merely because it was so late in the session that members, until then opposed to it, realized that it had no chance to get through the Senate before adjournment. Various bills are pending to provide funds for another so-called department of safety—that claimed by Col. Clifton Wilder, who though employed now as a state prohibition law enforcement officer under the governor's annual $5,000 appropriation for enforcing the state prohibition law, maintains that he, and no other, is the head of the department of safety. Many members of both houses and of both political parties, are openly hostile to any proposal to appropriate for the colonel's activities. The bill for the reorganization of the National Guard again appeared, but was put over for another day. Members of the rules committee, which has complete power in determining what measures may appear before the House, say that they have nothing of consequence which they can place upon the calendar. They have many bills, but they are, for the most part, inconsequential, members said, welcoming the steering committee as greatly needed. False swearing in connection with election petitions, ballots, and the like, would be a misdemeanor also, punishable by $200 to $500 fine, or three to six months' imprisonment.

The universal proletariat were not rational enough to be economic men in either the Benthamite or the Marxian sense. Purely psychological forces, the drive of instinct to rally with the herd, the spur of sentiment, the regulation of habit, caused the proletariat to jeopardize their class interests for the sake of plans against which they had long been in obstinate intellectual opposition. Individual ambition, too, swept away the economic alignments and played its fatal part in the march of events. The war magnified the brute forces of personality. The most economic man, the proletarian, was first of all a man! TODAY the State Legislature will have been in session forty-five days, one-half the allotted time fixed by the state statutes for the regular session. It is to be ommended for the very splendid harmony that has prevailed so far, and the excellent progress being made in the matter of passing upon the important legislative measures presented for their consideration. There were one thousand or more bills presented in the lower house one for consideration. While it is doubtless true that there were a great many of these bills that were frivolous and unnecessary, yet they had to be assigned to the different committees for a legislative diagnosis, so to speak, and there decided as to whether or not there is any merit in the bill, and if Teachers feel that greater security in their positions is essential to their most effective work. We do not, however, seek to protect incompetent teachers—rather, we desire to rid the school system of incompetents. It is the competent teacher that we want to protect, and we feel that the public at large is heartily in sympathy with fair treatment to this teacher. Under existing conditions, competent teachers are humiliated by arbitrary and autocratic school authorities, who dismiss at their own pleasure and far too often without justification. Teachers demand that their cases be tried before impartial boards, that they be permitted to have counsel and that they be granted the right to appeal from the trial boards to the civil courts. The teacher is one of the strongest stabilizing influences we have, but we cannot utilize this influence if the competent teacher is not kept in the profession. Insecurity of tenure is driving many teachers out of the profession. The 100 per cent American is a man who has respect for his own rights and the rights of others, and will so order his life as to possess not only the courage but the strength to redress wrongs, and in whom self-consciousness is sufficiently powerful to preserve these qualities, which are dependent upon clean, strong bodies and capable minds. He believes in and upholds the dignity of labor, and with it the education which makes democracy worth while and protective of the interests of all.

THERE is nothing that gives a true man, or his family, greater comfort and satisfaction than the knowledge that they are protected by a gilt-edge life insurance policy. The time has not long since passed when many of our people looked upon a life insurance policy with fear and trembling, and that to think of such a thing as a life insurance policy was getting too close to death's door. Hence many of our suspicious folk put off taking out a life insurance policy, and when they passed away they had nothing to leave to their family, and consequently their grief was the more bitter and painful because they had nothing to fall back upon until they could get accustomed to their loss and make a livelihood for themselves. But fortunately our people are now beginning to take hold of life insurance policies as readily as most people, and we find that many of our people carry $10,000 policies, and a few go as high as $25,000. We are convinced that a life insurance policy is a protection for the home, and in many instances better than a bank account. Many of our young people make the greatest mistake of their lives by neglecting to take out a life insurance policy in some good, strong, reliable company while they are young. If they could only take out a life insurance policy when they became 21 years of age, by the time they have reached the age of 40 years they would be in position to be proud and ready to start into some kind of profitable business. A life insurance policy marks a man as being broad and unselfish. The man who insures his life for the benefit of his family takes the right view of life, and he becomes thereby a more desirable and stable citizen. Many times an insurance policy is better than having a bank account. We recall the day when our parents, instead of taking out a life insurance policy, joined as many benefit lodges as they could possibly do. Such a system of financing for the future is fast playing out, because it is more expensive and burdensome in the end. There was a time when we were prohibited by most life insurance companies, but in recent years they have become more liberal and actually solicit our business. We were blacklisted by many of the old line life insurance companies because the death rate among us was considered too high. But now that we are beginning to learn to live and prolong our lives and lessen the death rate among us, it is easier to obtain a policy in these standard companies. It must also be remembered that we have several Negro life insurance companies that are doing a large and successful business. We hope that our young men may, in some way, be impressed more with the importance of taking out a life insurance policy while they are young and the rates are within their means. THE COLORADO LEGISLATURE. TODAY the State Legislature will have been in session forty-five days, one half the allotted time fixed by the state statutes for the regular session. It is to be ommended for the very splendid harmony that has prevailed so far, and the excellent progress being made in the matter of passing upon the important legislative measures presented for their consideration. There were one thousand or more bills presented in the lower house alone for consideration. While it is doubtless true that there were a great many of these bills that were frivilous and unnecessary, yet they had to be assigned to the different committees for a legislative diagnosis, so to speak, and there decided as to whether or not there is any merit in the bill, and if it should be ordered out of the committee and printed. Before a bill actually gets before the Legislature for passage there is a lot of red tape to go through and then it is not safe. There are several very important measures pending before this Legislature, and it will of necessity require much time for their just consideration. The most frivilous bill that was introduced at this session was the one introduced which had in view the amending of the "civil rights" statute. Why this bill was ever introduced by a Republican in a Republican Legislature with an overwhelming majority we are at a loss to understand. But at any rate, the attempt to nullify this civil rights statute blocked in its incipiency. The moment the bill was presented the watch dogs of the Denver Colored Civic Association and the N. A. A. C. P. who were on the job sounded the alarm and the cry went up, "On to the state capitol." A strong committee from the two above-named organizations arranged for a hearing before the judiciary committee, and after a two hours' session with the judiciary committee the bill was killed and ordered not to be reported out. Among one of the many bills of great importance to the people of the state of Colorado, white as well as black, is the famous anti-lynching bill now pending for passage before the Legislature. This bill was prepared by Attorney Blakemore, modeled after the anti-lynching bill now before the Congress of the United States. It is very carefully drawn, and the Legislature should pass it for many reasons. We have no desire to impose those reasons here at this time, but suffice it to say that a very strong committee of colored citizens had a patient hearing before the committee to which the bill was referred. It is now reported out of the committee and ordered printed, and with prospects bright for its passage. Let us hope that Colorado will step in line with Ohio, Illinois and other progressive states with high ideals and for humanity and pass this just measure which upholds the dignity and sovereignty of state and protects all citizens alike. We heartily favor the passage of the resolution calling for a constitutional convention. The state constitution needs working over and made up to the times. Why Has Not U. S. Congress Granted Independence to the Filipinos? By JAMES H. FREAR of Wisconsin, Speech in House. Why has not the American congress granted to the Philippine islands their independence? The question has been asked repeatedly by the Filipinos, and exhibits have been filed wherein they furnish evidence that these islands, 10,000 miles away from our seat of government, with different interests, ambitions, and racial conditions, have made the most wonderful development in all history, entitling them to a fulfillment of our pledge. C. BANE & FROC The Philippines have 10,500,000 inhabitants in round numbers. 91 per cent of whom are classed as Christians, with a complete form of stable government, maintained by specials selected at popular elections, by a people 70 per cent of whom are able to read or write, according to accepted literacy tests. Before the Pilgrim fathers landed at Plymouth Rock the San Thomuniversity at Manila in the sixteenth century was graduating the Filipino students in the arts and sciences. A school enrollment of 884,000 day, without any compulsory attendance laws, carries its own argument the extent of its educational progress, which includes the English language in every school.

In the Light of the World War Crude Marxism Wilts Into Absurdity. By GREGORY ZILBOORG, in "Passing of the Old Order in Europe." In order to be consistent, Marx had to deny the role of the individual history. Refusing to recognize the cultural values of nationality, he is forced to reduce it to a zoological prejudice. He compelled himself deny the drive and motive force of ideas, and he thus eliminated psychology as an independent factor from his system. He had to maintain that psychological elements only arose passively from the interplay of economic forces and that they had no determinative power in themselves. But in the light of the recent war a crude Marxism wilts into absurdity. The universal proletariat were not rational enough to be economic in either the Benthamite or the Marxian sense. Purely psychological forces, the drive of instinct to rally with the herd, the spur of sentiment, regulation of habit, caused the proletariat to jeopardize their class inests for the sake of plans against which they had long been in obstinate intellectual opposition. Individual ambition, too, swept away the economic alignments and layed its fatal part in the march of events. The war magnified the brute faces of personality. The most economic man, the proletarian, was first all a man! In order to be consistent, Marx had to deny the role of the individual in history. Refusing to recognize the cultural values of nationality, he was forced to reduce it to a zoological prejudice. He compelled himself to deny the drive and motive force of ideas, and he thus eliminated psychology as an independent factor from his system.

Teachers Feel Security Is Essential to Their Most Effective Work. By CHARLES B. STILLMAN, President A. F. T. Teachers feel that greater security in their positions is essential to their most effective work. We do not, however, seek to protect incompleteness teachers—rather, we desire to rid the school system of incompetence. It is the competent teacher that we want to protect, and we feel that the public at large is heartily in sympathy with fair treatment to this teacher. Under existing conditions, competent teachers are humiliated by arbitrary and autocratic school authorities, who dismiss at their own measure and far too often without justification. Teachers demand that their cases be tried before impartial boards, but they be permitted to have counsel and that they be granted the right appeal from the trial boards to the civil courts. The teacher is one of the strongest stabilizing influences we have, we cannot utilize this influence if the competent teacher is not kept the profession. Insecurity of tenure is driving many teachers out of the profession. The 100 Per Cent American Respects Rights of Himself and of Others.

The famous Professor Metchnikoff gave it as his opinion a few years ago that old age was due to the formation of certain poisons in the system. The most deadly of these poisons are called indols and phenols, and the professor's theory was that they could be destroyed by eating sugar. Unfortunately, however, few people can absorb enough sugar to destroy the poisons, but the professor did not let this trouble him in the least. He found, he asserted, that there is a microbe in dogs called "the glycobacter," which, if put into the human system, will manufacture a large amount of sugar with which it will fight the indols and the phenols and rid the system of these enemies to youth and beauty. Doctor Metchnikoff's theory created a great amount of interest among men of science, especially in France, but apparently it "hung fire" somewhere, and we are still growing old, although dogs are as common in our midst as ever. Artificial Eyes. Today there are probably more artificial eyes in the world than there have ever been before, yet so excellent is the workmanship used in their manufacture that they can very seldom be detected. The artificial eye, however, will not serve the wearer forever. There are certain orbital fluids which destroy the enamel, thus involving considerable expense for renewal. In view of this, celluloid is often used instead of glass, and lasts longer. The minutest details are carefully reproduced even in the veins on the eyeball and the broken color of a hazel iris. Walking on Snow With the snowshoe, with its broad, latticed, rawhide bottom, serviceable in walking over soft snow, the wearer does not expect to develop much speed, says the American Forestry Magazine. The sport consists in walking on snow so soft that, without such appendages, he would sink into it. Northern hunters in former times made their own shoes with hatchet and knife, and if leather thongs were not at hand, the lattice soles could be woven of basswood bark, which can be stripped in winter as well as in summer. Wreath Awaits Innovator. We are holding a wreath, contributed by an anonymous lover of the silent drama, for the director who in arranging an artist's studio set stations the model so that the artist doesn't have to look over his shoulder at her while at his easel. We know that this suggestion violates studio rules, but the director really ought to take the law of physics into consideration or else use a periscope.—Exchange. National ank H AND CHAMPA Soda Fountain --- FOR PRESERVATION OF GAME Vast Tracts of Land in Various Countries Have Been Laid Aside—Not Yet Crowded. Naturalists have expressed a fear that, with the exploitation of the waste places of the earth, the bigger wild animals, especially if they are more trouble than they are worth, like lions, tigers, the rhinoceros and the hippo, will be crowded off the map by all-enroaching man. There is reason in this fear, and however much the tiger or the jaguar, say, or even the great snakes, may be disliked, yet there is a sentiment in the world against rendering any species extinct. This idea, with others, has led to the establishment of great national parks, which are really great game preserves. One of the largest of these is in Canada, and is called Jasper park. It is a land of lake and river and mountain between the Saskatchewan river and the Yellowstone pass. It is nearly as big as Wales, and is the haunt of bears and elks, of beavers and skunks and foxes, and its rivers teem with fish. There is room for them, and a few more visitors as well. Then there is the Yellowstone park, in Wyoming. It is 3,575 square miles in area and includes a lake 22 miles long. New Zealand has two national parks. Lake Wakatipu, 112 square miles in extent, is the center of the one in the southern island, and the other in the north island includes the famous lake district of the southern hemisphere. Pleasurable Occasion. "I was a member of the large and intelligent audience in Hefflinger's hall last night," said old Gaunt N.

"And may I ask what portion of it especially pleased you?" "The entire oration. I have always been very fond of puzzles, and it gave me much pleasure to try to discover what were the burning issues of the day, and, having done so, why we should not let them burn."—Judge. Refers to Rail Bird The saying "thin as a rail" does not refer to a fence rail, as is commonly supposed, but to the bird known as a rail. The rails, of which there are several species in this country, live in marshes and have extremely compressed bodies so that they may thread their way between reeds and rushes.

Many fairy stories have been written about how Washington personally selected the site for ‘the capital, “even driving Some of the surveyor’s Stakes,” etc, ‘The unvarnished truth is that he merely carried out the will of congress by 1p- pointing a commission which was instructed by congress to do a certain thing. From the day the tract ten miles square was staked out Washington's Impress bas been In the city and [ts environs, ‘That Impress stands out clearer as the years pass. More than a million persons, Americans by birth or adoption, gain new Inspiration every year merely by looking upon the material things that connect the days when Washington was moving about there in the flesh with the present time. ‘Thousands of for- elgners benefit in the same way. ‘There ts never any pnuse in the stream of pligrims to Mt. Vernon ‘or In the throng that is always on the way to the top of the Washington monument. Winter and summer, through sunshine and storm, the homage paying to the “Father of his Country” goes on, Every recurring anniversary of his birth seemingly fnereases the Interest in his memory. On these anniversaries floral decorations are Invariably piled high in the tomb at Mt. Vernon, und neither branch of congress ever fails to provide that his farewell address shall be read. Probably because the point has never been em- phasized many persons have the Idea, It seems, ithat Washington lived for a short time in the lelty that bears his name. ‘There is also a popu- jar belief that the Washingtons at one time oc- ‘cupled the White House. Washington was never ‘@ resident of the permanent capital. ‘The seat of government was in Philadelphia when con- igress voted to locate the capltal where it is, and ‘Washington had a temporary home in that city. ‘On returning from Philadelphia at the close of ‘ls second term as President he gaye consider- able personal attention to the early developments ‘of the new capital. He frequently rode up from (Mt. Vernon on ils favorite black horse to see how things were coming on, Who would undertake to say that he did not wisualize the national capital In some such form as it stands today? If he did, he saw tn his ‘imagination the Capitol building on Capitol hill, ithe Library of Congress with Its golden dome tn ‘the rear of the Capitol, the magnificent office fhulldings for senate and house of representatives, tthe expansive Mall extending from the Capitol to the Potomac, with the monument to his own mem- ‘ory, the most conspicuous thing on it; and he ‘algo saw the splendid memorlal to Abraham Lin- feoh. which has Just been completed, as well as ‘the memorial to U. S. Grant, which 1s almost ready to be turned over to the government. And rwho ugain would say that he did not have a vision ‘of the resident section of the clty extending far Beyond the White House to the northwest? Washington never saw the White House occu- fed. ‘To some extent {t represents his Ideas of frie a combined home and business office for e President should be—the original tdea was that the President should make the house his residence and also his workshop. Washington as a Mason assisted in laying the cornerstone of ie White House. ‘That formality was conducted yy a Masonic lodge In Alexandria of which Washington was a member. It is certain that he was deeply Interested in the work of construction, At the time of his ldeath the house was practically ready for occu- pancy. The furnishings were being placed in position, Only a few days before his death he and Mrs, Washington went through the entire pbuilding and, according to the chroniclers of the ‘time, were keenly interested In every detail of the place which was to be the home of future Presi- ents. "Today, as it has ever been, tt {s not so much the things with the Washington stamp on them, as those in the nearby districts that Interest the AR RS RE, NV eee ect connection with the capital city of the nation begun when, as President of the United States, he appointed a com- mission to locate the cuptial on the Potomuc river, “a few miles above Alexandria and adjacent to George- town.” ‘The congress sitting in Philadelphia directed that the chinmmiesioners: te ab ee a tourists. Mt. Vernon, of course, Is the Washing- ton shrine and It will continue to be that so lung as the republic endures. It wns the Virginia home on the Potomac to which Washington took his bride; there he made plans for his life work, plans that were rudely shattered by the events of later years. It was from that refuge that he went forth to command the armies of the Revo- lution, and it was from the seclusion of that attractive place that he answered the call to be President. He returned to the old home on re- tiring from office, and there he died, and there his bones le. When the national cupltal city was laid out, and for many decades afterward, Mt, Vernon was looked upon as a “long ways off” from the capital, It is only seventeen miles away. Today there are three ways of renching Mt. Vernon— by bout, by electricity, by automobile. It Is an easy hour's travel from the business center of Washington, With these facilities the number of visitors has greatly increased, It is believed the time fs not far distant when u million and a half of tourlats will annually visit Mt. Vernon. If you should happen to be in Mt. Vernon on the 22d of February you would, in imagination, see Washington as he went about bis country place on his birthday. ‘Che very atmosphere speaks to you of him," sald u distinguished Frenchman. Visitors marvel at the faithfulness with which the buildings and their contents and the grounds have been preserved. ‘There have been, of ue- cessity, some replacements, but speaking in a broad way, things are as they were when Wash- ington lust looked upon them. One can almost see the house cat coming out of the hole under the door that led to the room occupied by Mrs. Washington. And what a sense of comfort one gets as he sits in an easy chair on the veranda and looks out over the Potomne and across the river to the hills of Maryland, just as Washington did! “No wonder Washington did not wish to leave the place eyen to be President of his coun- try,” one says to himself, ‘The Mount Vernon Ladies’ Ald society continues to care for the Mt. Vernon home und lands. The country owes a debt of gratitude to this society for preserving the property. Years ago when It was about to fall Into the hands of private spec- ulators this society was formed and it has done {ts work well, Many persons belleve, however, that congress should buy the estate in the nama of the government and throw it open to the public. Always under the management of the Ald soclety a nominal charge for admittance has been made. Many of the visitors linger in the country about the old Washington home. Of course no one who knew the Washington family is now Mving, but there are plenty of descendants of the old families in the neighborhood who delight to talk of the old days. ‘The countryside hay not changed much in 120 years. Mans houses bullt while Washing- ton was alive still stand. ‘Three miles south of Mt. Vernon the old Pohick (Episcopal) church tn which Washington frequently worshiped 1s stil occupied by the Episcopal congregation. Within the last five years the interior of the old butld- ing has been restored and today visiturs may look: on the decorations precisely as they were when Washington attended. Passing time has not served to take away any of the Washington atmosphere about the old city of Alexandria, seven miles south of the national capital and on the road to Mt. Vernon. ‘The first thing the writer Is told is that Washington “did a lot for us.” “He established our public school system,” says the local gulde, “and he gave us our first fire department, He was always doing some- thing for us.” Foremost of the Washington show- places in Alexandria 1s old Christ church, of which Washington was a member for some 40 years, The church building of brick has been preserved unchanged. ‘The pew that Washington occupled 1s reserved every Sunday for strangers who may happen along at the service hour. ‘The old sexton will be certéin-to relate numerous stories of the first President. He will, first of all, tell you how Washington always came up from Mt.

The actual depreciation In the valuation of the 408,000 horses in the state during the year amounts to $6,936,000. ‘The mules in the state January 1, 1921, numbered 30,000, compared with 31,- 000 a year ugo, or a reduction of 3. per cent. ‘The fotal value this year is $2,670,000, compared . with $3,131,000 last year. ‘The actual depreciation for the number on the farms at the pres- ent time is $12 per head, amounting to $260,000. Milk Cows. ‘The milk cows in the state barely held to the same number—272,000 head—but the valuation was reduced $4,624,000, the present worth being es timated at $19,040,000. ‘The reports in- Neate that the average daily yleld per cow during the period when milked last year was 8.6 quarts. Good prices "were largely responsible for the lack jot decrease in the number of dairy cows. Other cattle on the farms and ranges of the state numbered 1,220,000 head, | compared with 1,855,000 last year—a_ reduction of 10 per cent. ‘Their aver- age value per head this year is $34.80 —a reduction of $13.30, or 27.7 per cent per head. ‘This reduetion results in a total depreciation in the value of 1,220,000 head amounting to $16,226,- 000, ‘The total valuation of the cattle In the state this year Is $42,456,000 compared with $65,176,000 on the total number of cattle in the state a year ago, Sheep. ‘The number of sheep on the Colo- rado farms and ranges Jan, 1, 1921, “was 1,073,000 head, compared with 2 121,000 head last year, ‘This number is a reduction of 7 per cent. ‘The aver- age value is $5.60 per head—a reduc- tion of $4.20, or 428 per cent, per head. ‘This reduction results in a de- preciation in the valuation on the 1,- 973,000 sheep of $8,286,000. ‘Phe pres- ent total value of the sheep in Colo- rado is $11,048,000 compared with $20,786,000, the value of the 2,121,000 head last year.

Swine. ‘There were fewer swine of all ages on Colorado farms on Jan, 1 by 57,000 head than a year ago, or a reduction of 15 per cent, ‘The number on the farms this year is 325,000 compared with 382,000 last year at this time. There was a decline of $5.70, or 31.7 per cent from the average price of last year. This reduction in the average price on the 25,000 swine in the state results In a depreciation In values to the farmer on this class of stock of $1,- 953,000. ‘The total valuation of the swine in the state is $3,997,000, com- pared with a valuation on 382,000 head last year of $6,876,000, Special reports indicate that about 19 per cent of the number of swine on hand in Colorado on January 1, 1921, were brood sows and 38 to 40 per cent were pigs under six months old, ‘The remainder is as- sumed to be hogs on hand for fatten- ing. Similar reports for January 1, 1920, showed 15 to 20 per cent of the number of swine on hand were brood sows and 45 to 60 per cent were pigs under six months old. ‘The total value on January 1, 1921, of all animals enumerated above was $6,235,569,000 as compared with $8, 507,145,000 on January 1, 1920, a de- crease of $2,271,576,000, or 26.7 per cent. ‘The total aggregate depreciation in the valuation of all animals enum- erated above on the farms of the United States at the present time ac- count of decrease in average values during the year is $1,984,060,000, or a depreciation of 24.14 per cent. lil a me seh ipteacaone F one, Sieaitinanetie Amigo se Rtn) Bag Me de a Poe eet 2g ere Mem eed - ; Oe UF hb NS ge a ce cg ot i TA Se Me ay eel a meee Fk fas al a 2 emer!

Not infrequently neighbors were guests in the coach. Another favorite rendezvous in Alexandria for sightseers is the room occupied by the Masonic lodge named for Washington. ‘This lodge still flourishes. There one may look upon the chalr in which Washington sat when he presided over the lodge of which he was master, also the Ma- sonle apron he wore, his wedding gloves, a pair of spurs he wore, a pruning knife he used on the Mount Vernon plantation, and a penknife which his mother gave him when he was a boy. Aud there 18 to be seen in the old lodge room the last authentle painting of him, a pastel from life made by William Willams of Philadelphia. Another old Washington landmark in Alexan- dria ts the Carlyle house. This structure was there when Washington was a young man, In colonial days it was one of the best-known hotels in Virginia. ‘The fine folks of the Old Dominion guthered there for balls and dinners and for good times generally, and Washington, the local his- torlans say, was present at any unusual event. General Braddock had bis headquarters In the old hotel when he was proceeding against the French and Indians. Making one’s way back to the capltal elty over the Alexandria-Arlington road numerous landmarks may be seen. This highway Ieads by Artington, the resting place of the nation’s heroes, and to Georgetown, ‘As this old highway brings the traveler around the brow of a hill four miles southwest of the national capital the Washington monument looms up across the low land and the Potomac river. From no point in the environs of the national capital does the monument appear to greater ud- vantage—a magnificent reminder of the good works of one typical American. ‘This monument ts a fitting compunion piece for the great me- morial to Abraham Lincoln soon to be dedicated. It speaks of the founder of the Republic; the other of the saviour of the Republic. Many projects were discussed before the Wash- ington monument was concelved and work on it begun. At the close of the Revolution the Con- tinental congress recommended the erection of an equestrian statue to Washington. Immediately after his death the congress, sitting In Philadel- phia, voted to erect a monument under which he should be buried. Another project was to make the Capitol bullding a memorial to him. Trav- elers may to this day have a peep at a vaulted chamber directly under the rotunda of the Capitol which was designed as a resting place for the body of Washington, ‘The Washington monument 1s the most con- spicuous work of man at the natlonal capital. The dome of the Capitol and dome of the Con- gresstonal library and the new Lincoln memorial stand out with boldness, but the monument over- tops them. On a clear day the monument may be seen from the crest of the Blue Ridge moun- tains, 45 miles away. The memorial had its in- ception in the minds of patriotic people who formed the Washington Memortal association. It was proposed to charge a membership fee of $1 and the money thus contributed was to be used in the erection of a suitable monument to the hero of the Revolution, ‘The money came in slowly and it looked at times as if this project too would have to be abandoned. Finally in 1848 congress voted a site. The spot chosen had been marked by Washington himself as a monument to the Revolution which he hoped would sometime be built. ‘The work of erecting the monument proceeded slowly. It had reached a height of 178 feet when the Civil war came on, It was roofed over and stood untouched until 1876 when congress again took hold and un- der the spur of congressional action it was com- pleted in 1885, ‘Phe helght of the monument fs 595 feet and 5 inches.

Fie | a x e- mae Wi a NT The Larger Girls Take Turns in Preparing Soup or Cocoa for the School. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) In the small rural school with only one teacher, it ts still the common cus- tom for the pupils to bring thelr lunches. ‘The parents of the children oftentimes are wide-awake to how val- uable the hot lunch has been found to be in the city schools, but they cannot see, under the existing circumstances in their school, how such an innova- tlon can be managed. Experience has proved that the child who has even one hot dish at noon does much better, mentally and phys- ically, than the one who has only cold food, especially in winter weather. ‘The country child has quite as much right to the benefits of the practice as has the city child. Usually when there is a concerted will to provide some- thing of the sort, a way is found. ‘The situation, however, will require a teacher of ingenuity and of enthus- iasm for her work. The simplest equip- ment includes a large kettle suitable to be used on the stove which heats the schoolhouse, measuring cup and spoons, paring knife, mixing spoon, dish pang, and towels. It will usual- ly be possible for the boys to make a set of shelves for the dishes, using box lumber if no other is available, and for the girls to make curtains or other coverings for protection from dust. The pupils will, as a rule, be found willing to bring plates, cups, bowls, and spoons from home, if this is necessary, in order to keep down expenses. A fireless cooker can easily be made by the pupils as a class ex- ercise. In this a hot dish for lunch can be prepared before school. The fireless cooker is convenient for meat stews, meat and bean soups, cereal mushes, and many other dishes that require long cooking. BEANS VERY POPULAR AS ECONOMICAL FOOD They Are One of Cheapest Sources of Protein. Used Chiefly as a Meat Substitute and a Cupful Equals in Food Value a Quarter of a Pound of Juicy Sirloin Steak. Beans, though higher in price than they were several years ago, are still among the cheaper foods that can be bought today. They are one of the cheapest sources of protein and may be used to help supply this valuable food constituent in the diet, according to United States Department of Agri- culture specialists. They are known chiefly as a meat substitute dish. A cup of baked beans, in which a third of a cup of dried beans are used, fur- nishes as much protein as a quarter of a pound of sirloin steak. Obviously the third of a cup of dried beans 1s much the cheaper to purchase. A pound of beef as purchased usually has some refuse in the form of skin, bone and gristle, while a pound of beans has practically no refuse. From this standpoint, therefore, as well as the difference sin price, the housewife who finds her wood allowance grow- ing low will do well to use beans often in place of meat. ‘The cheaper legumes, beans, peas, etc., should not be depended upon as the sole source of protein for a great length of time. Milk, cheese, eggs, or meat should furnish some of the protein in a week’s dietary. ‘There is lttle difference in food val- ue among the many common varieties of beans, with the exception of the soy bean, which is richer in protein and in fat than the ordinary beans. All legumes should be thoroughly cooked. Long cooking at moderate heat is best. ‘A favorite and standard recipe for baking beans 1s the following: Soak the beans over night, then rinse and boil them until the skins crack when blown upon, but the beans are not quite soft. Use one-half pound of salt pork to one quart of beans. Cut the pork nearly through the rind and add before bofling the beans. After boiling, pour into the bean pot, in- sert the pork, the cut rind being level with the top of the beans. Add a pint of water used for boiling, hav- ing first mixed with the water a tea- spoonful of salt and two tablespoons of molasses, The water should come about to the surface of the contents, Bake nix to elght hours, adding more water when needed to prevent the top drying or burning. Beans, when done, should The recipes for the dishes cooked for lunch may be given to the older girls in school, discussed in class, and tried at home. The special dish for the day, which in winter is usually hot and in summer more often cold, can be prepared and served at noon by the girls in turn, working in groups. It will often be necessary to serve the food to the children at their seats —a practice which 16 not especially objectionable if the schoolhouse 1s clean and well ventilated, the desks carefully cleaned before meals, and the building thoroughly screened to keep out files, which are always dan- gerous around food, since they can convey to It the bacteria which cause intestinal and other diseases, Clean Hands Essential, Clean hands should always be In- sisted upon, as well as clean spoons. dishes, etc., and individual drinking cups. Furthermore, children should be taught not to drink out of each other's cups or glasses or to use one another's spoons or forks. It is seldom desirable to prepare more than one dish a day in a small school, and this should, for the sake of variety, differ from day to day. ‘The others can be brought from home. The choice of the dish to be cooked should be determined partly by what it is possible to do in the way of cooking at the school, partly by what pur- chased or home-grown food 1s avall- able, and what the school garden or neighboring fields or woods afford. and partly by what the teacher has learned from experience is needed to go with the foods brought from home. The noonday meal as a whole will then be appetizing and will provide the needed nutrients as they are now understood. be thoroughly softened, but not mushy, and should retain their shape.
