LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THE VALUE OF EDUCATION An Address Delivered During Educational Week by T. Edward Owens, Director Division of Mathematics. VOL. XXVII. IT is not at all surprising that Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner of Education, has issued a call for Educational Week. The nation is just emerging from a great war. The soldiers who were at the front and the people who remained at home are sick of war, but unsatisfied with the conditions of peace. The whole world is in a state of unrest, there is trouble and turmoil everywhere. Many and varied are the problems which have arisen as the result of this war. Statesmen, educators, politicians and all who have an interest in humanity and the nation realize that the best thought of the country is required in the solution of these problems. During the war, governments rose and fell, kings and emperors lost their thrones, the old order has passed. Just what the new will be, no one can tell. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia University, in a scholarly paper recently published, showed how the nation has strayed far from sound principles in education and urged a return to these principles. Perhaps it might be well at this point to define education. There are many, many definitions of education. One of these is that of Decartes, who defines it as a discipline of the mind to the end that it may pass true and solid judgment upon all the problems of life. From this view point it is evident that no one is ever completely educated. Our education is a process that begins at birth and ends at death, and perhaps not then. Another definition often quoted asserts that it is a preparation for complete living. There are two concepts of education. One might be named the cultural and the other the utilitarian. They are the old Greek concepts of the needs of wisdom and the means of action. The cultural is that form of education which enables one to understand and appreciate the best in literature, art, science and philosophy. The utilitarian is that form which enables a man to earn a living, to satisfy his primitive needs and to get ahead in this world. Humanity, like a pendulum, swings always between these two extremes. Greece may be named an example of the first extreme. In Greece, art, literature and philosophy reached their zenith. Even today her literature and her art is generally accepted as a model. Germany can be offered as the best example of the second extreme. Literature, art, science, religion and philosophy were all developed for the service of the state. The state was everything; the individual nothing. At this present moment there is great need for a new concept of education, a concept in which both the old concepts should fuse and blend. The keynote of this new concept must be service -service to the individual, to the state, to the nation, to humanity. Dr. Washington, the dreamer of dreams, and the seer of visions, must have glimpsed something of the new concept, for how else can this doctrine of correlation be accounted for. Again and again in spoken word and written speech, he besought teachers to articulate the work of the class room into life. It is hardly necessary to speak of the value of education here at Tuskegee. Tuskegee with its beautiful build- state Hist. & Nat Hist Hoe State House RELIABLE PEOPLE RAD THE JOURN DENVER, ings and well kept grounds is the very embodiment of the value of education. Students, my message to you tonight is, make use of the opportunities for obtaining an education here offered. Endeavor to catch the light from this place and carry it forth into the world so that you may render the largest possible service to yourselves, the race, the nation, and to humanity.—Student. GIRL HEIR TO $16,- 000,000 OIL FIELD New Orleans, La., Feb. 13.—Sixteen million dollars' worth of oil land is a lot of property for most any one to acquire in a lifetime. Especially is this true when the owner is a girl of our race, who a few years ago was trotting unconcernedly about the dusty roads of Claiborne parish. Two courts, the District Court of Claiborne parish, Louisiana, and the United States District Court for the western district of this state, have declared Lillie Taylor, age 21, the owner of about 200 acres of the richest oil land in Claiborne parish, on which twelve producing wells have been sunk. The property has been leased to the Gulf Refining Company, which now operates the holdings, and is valued at about $16,000,000. There is a slight cloud on the title that Lillie holds. Several persons, including her natural mother, Mrs Lona McGee; one George West, who claims through another line title, and also the state of Louisiana, now seek recognition of their right to the property. The whole matter, which has been in the courts for several years, is under consideration by the Supreme Court of Louisiana. Decision is expected this month. General Mix-Up. Ten years ago the original owner of the 200 acres sold it to Isom McGee, a farmer, for a small sum. McGee never paid for the land, and after several years the son of the original owner, his father having died, took possession and sold it to another man named Harris. However, no deed or quit claim of the first sale was secured from McGee, and it is on this error that the whole case rests. Everything would have gone all right except that Lillie Taylor claimed the property as the illegitimate child of Lona McGee, wife of Isom McGee, and is acknowledged heir to the property. FINED FOR VIOLATING CIVIL RIGHTS BILL. Chicago, Ill., Feb. 17.—Spoehr's Candy Shop and Soda Fountain, 119 North Michigan avenue, through its atorney, paid to Miss Lillian Beale, secretary to the superintendent of the United Charities, $100 and costs of court for its refusal to serve her on August 28, 1920.

ABLE PEOPLE'S PA ADC THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, S DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 26 1921 HOWARD UNIVERSITY PLAYERS WIN APPLAUSE IN TWO PLAYS Students, Exhibit Unusual Talent in Staging "The Tents of the Arabs" and "Simon, the Cyrenian." Washington, D. C.—Followers of the drama in Washington witnesses an unusual production last week when two plays were given at the Miner Normal School by the Howard Players, under the auspices of the Department of Dramatic Art of Howard University, the program including "The Tents of the Arabs," by Lord Dunsany, and "Simon, the Cyrenian," by Ridgley Torrenge Trained under the direction of Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, the students who made up the cast of the two plays displayed a dramatic talent that would earn the respect of the most critical. Lord Dunsany's play, in two acts, is a fanciful thing, representing the longings of an oriental king for the wide wastes of the desert, which eventually becomes so strong that he forsakes his throne, abandoning it to the camel driver, who is ambitions to be king. It is an ambitious production that would tax the dramatic powers of an Otis Skinner, but John H. Broadnax as the king, and Miss Stella Skinker as the gypsy maid of the desert, wunstinted applause, the latter showing herself an emotional actress of splendid ability. A specialty dance of merit was given by Misses Ottie Graham, Sadye Spence and Eltinge Holmes. The play by Ridgley Torrence is the story of the man who helped the Lord bear the cross to Calvary when He fell beneath its weight. The title role was taken by Purvis J. Chesson, whose interpretation of the barbarian, touched and tamed by the sight of divine suffering, brought repeated applause. The leading female part was that of Pilate's wife, taken by Miss Helen L. Webb, while Miss Ottie Graham was seen as Acte, the Princess of Egypt, who vainly sought to dissuade Simon, from going to the aid of the Nazarene. The entire cast included twenty-three players, each of whom showed the results of careful application and training. The rich and beautiful stage settings and costumes, designed and made in the Howard Dramatic workshop by the students, themselves, under the supervision of Cleon Throckmorton, of the Provinietown Players, New York City, and Mrs. Forrest, added much to the success of the program. The same players will give a presentation on March 1st and April 1st and 2nd, of Eugene N'Neill's play, "The Emperor Jones," now playing in New York, with Charles Gilpin of the Broadway company in the title role. Mr. Gilpin has promised to come to Washington and appear in the title role with the Howard Players.

Change Firm Name— Harry Pace More Determined Than Ever. New York City.—Following the announcement a few weeks ago that the Pace Phonograph Corporation of New York had been organized to reproduce Negro Music, using exclusively Negro voices, notice was served on the Pace Handy Music Co., of which Mr. Harry H. Pace was president, by two large white phonograph record companies that it need not expect any more of its published music to be reproduced by them. It later developed that practically every one of the record companies had read the announcement which had been taken or sent to them by certain colored men desirous of starting such trouble, and had reached an understanding that no more songs published by the music publishing form of Pace & Handy Music Company would be brought out on their records. After a consultation with attorneys and friends of the publishing house, Mr. Pace decided to retire from all connection with Pace & Handy Music Company, publishers, and the charter of the company was amended so as to change the name to Handy Bros. Music Company. The firm will now consist of Messrs. W. C. Handy and C. E. Handy, who will conduct the business as formerly with Mr. Pace giving his entire time to the Pace Phonograph Corporation, with offices at 257 West 138th St., New York City. In respect to this matter, Mr. Pace states: "The opposition of the white companies to the entry of a race organization into the phonograph record producing field makes me all the more determined to give the race representation in an entirely new field of business endeavor, and convinces me of the necessity of preserving our race music and preserving for our children the wonderful voices and musical talent we have in the race. The public wants the kind of records I shall put out and they will get them no matter who objects." ate coincidence Sergeant Dorcy Rhodes, U. S. Army, had been ordered to the University for service. Sergeant Rhodes was formerly Band Master of the 351st Field Art. Band overseas, and had served many years in the regular army as Band Sergeant of both the 9th and 10th cavalry bands. He is a graduate of the Institute of Musical Art of New York City and a better equipped man to organize the new band can not be found. Every hour that does not interfere with the duty for which he was ordered to Howard University is spent in whipping the band into shape, and under his supervision the R. O. T. C. Band of Howard University bids fair to become a first-class organization. There is now an enrollment of fifty R. O. T. C. members and a waiting list of as many more.

The plow struck a ridge of frozen ground which jolted Crowder from the seat, causing him to fall. The business section of Pagosa Springs has been destroyed by fire with an estimated loss of between $300,000 and $400,000.

Whenever reference was made to him in the packers’ memo- randa it was by a character drawn with pen and ink. This character was represented by the letter “I” inclosed I N THE debates over promotions tn the army it cropped out that there are 11 nominations for major general, as follows: ‘Maj. Gen, James W.

It seems likely that the senate of- fice chamber will be the scene of stately ceremonials, with the senate ladies divided into appropriate groups, holding a sort of court, perhaps seated ‘on a raised dais, while the callers file past them and make their obelsances. ‘Phere may even be orders as to the kinds of dresses that are to be worn, and ushers, and all the rest of It. ‘And the fact that these ceremonies are held under the senate roof will naturally give to them a sort of ofi- cial status.

HUGHES OF NEW | YORK WILL BE SECRETARY OF STATE WILL H. HAYS, NATIONAL G. 0. P. CHAIRMAN, 1S POSTMASTER GENERAL, {{Wentera Newspaper Union Mews Rervice.) St. Augustine, Fla, Feb, 23.—Presi- Jent-elect Harding has reached a ten- tative decision on every place in his cabinet, and unless there are last-min- ute changes, it will be composed of these men: Secretury of State—Charles E. Hughes of New York, former governor, Justice of the Supreme Court and Re- publican nominee for the presidency, Secretary of the Treasury—Andrew W. Mellon of Pennsylvania, banker and financier, member of a family re- puted to be among the wealthiest in this country, Secretary of War—John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, former senator, and n 1916 a candidate for the presiden- Ual nomination. Attorney General—Harry M. Daugh- erty of Ohio, who managed Mr, Har- ding’s preconvention campaign. Postmaster General—Will H. Hays of Indiana, chairman of the Republi- can national committee. Secretary of the Navy—Edwin Den- by of Michigan, former member of Congress, who has served as an en- listed man in both the navy and ma- rine corps. Secretary of the Interior—Albert B. Fall of New Mexico, now a senator, Secretary of Agriculture — Henry Wallace of Iowa, editor of farm pub- ications. Secretary of Commerce — Herbert Hoover of California, former food ad- ministrator and leader in various movements for European relief. Secretary of Labor—James J. Davis of Pennsylvania and Illinois, a former union steel worker, who has become the highest official in the Moose fra- ternity. If changes are made, they are most likely to affect the appointments for Navy, Commerce and Labor, all of which are understood to have come to a decision within twenty-four hours, In regard to none of these has there been an exchange of formal invita- tion and acceptance, but in every case the selections are expected by Mr. Harding's associates to stand. Assignment of the navy portfolio to Mr. Denby, who is a Detroit lawyer, furnished the first real surprise, for his name had not been mentioned pub- ely in connection with the place until yesterday. It is understood that from the first he has been under considera- tion, however, and was held in reserve for just such a contingency as Mr. Harding faced last week when former Gov. F, 0. Lowden of Illinois declined to be considered. Eyer since early in the campaign Mr. Hoover's name has been one of the storm centers of the cabinet list, many Republicans urging his appoint- ‘ment as secretary of state, interior, ‘commerce or labor, and many oppos- ‘ing it because of his stand in favor of ‘the League of Nations, A formal in- vitation is expected to go forward to him within a few hours. Gives Corn for Relief. Chicago—Twenty-six hundred bush- els of corn, gift of Woodford county farmers for the starving of Europe and Asin, were loaded in cars at Eu- reka on the first of scores of “eorn days” to be observed in Tilinois, it was reported to the Illinois Agricultural ‘Association. Corn shelling machines were set up in the main street, ‘The cobs were sold and the proceeds will be added to the relief fund. Former Chairman McCombs Dead.

Poplar Bluffs, Mo.—After eleven attempts to travel the matrimonial trail, William L. Tillman, 79, died here. His marriages to eleven different wom- en had earned for him the nickname of “Solomon of the Ozarks.” Bandit Robs Auto Party. Tacoma, Wash.—Nearly $3,000 Ip diamonds and money was obtained by a lone highwayman who held up and robbed an automobile party composed of two men and one woman on the Mount Ranier highway, ‘The victims were E. C. Bengle, J. F. Righter and Mrs. Marie Rogers. Righter had stopped to examine his lights, Anoth- er car came up from the rear and stopped. A masked man approached ordered Righter into his car and ther obbed the three of their valuables. GREEKS RESENT PACT REVISION Cc. V. FAIRBANKS —Props.— N.

To what extent, however, will not be known until the interallied commission has visited the spot and decided between the claims of the Greeks and ‘Turks regarding the ratio of population in Thrace and Smyrna, ‘This decision was reached when the Supreme Council decided to invite the Greeks and ‘Turks to separate confer ences, when they will be asked if they are prepared to aecept such an inves: tigation, subject to acceptance of the remaining terms of the treaty. ‘The Central News says that the Greek delegates conferred, after which one of them declared that the premier was opposed to an interallied investl- gation regarding Smyrna and Thrace, and would refuse to consent to a re- vision of the treaty. “It looks like an insurmountable barrier,” he added. “Much as we de- test war, it appears inevitable, for we will not evacuate Smyrna.” ‘The ‘Turks have already announced approval regarding Smyrna and Thrace, but they ure likely to fight against the rest of the treaty being enforced, while the Greeks are expect- ed to oppose the scheme. After the Turks had presented pro- posals for a revision of the treaty, the Greeks were given an opportunity to refute the Turks’ claims. ‘The Greek premier pleaded for the enforcement of the treaty, quoting former Premier Venizelos, who has left for Paris greatly discouraged at the Greeks’ prospects. ‘The premier said that when he came here he did not believe the conference intended to alter the fundamental ba- sis of the treaty and he called on his experts to produce figures showing that according to population the Greeks were entitled to retain what the treaty gave them. Greece was willing to adopt the ad vice of the allies, he added, provided the fundamentals of the treaty were not changed, but further delay would exhaust Greece. When the decision was read to them, the Greeks expressed disappointment. ‘The Turks are jubilant, as delay is what they wanted, and they believe now that Smyrna and ‘Thrace will be snvedsto: thei. | Phone Main 4843s J.

USUALLY it is the unexpected that generally happens in life, and so invariably has such been the rule that it has become an adage with the American people. But this was not the case with President-elect Warren G. Harding, who wisely upset the age-old idea of the people by actually appointing to the important post of secretary of state the very man that the people throughout the country felt most certain would receive the high honor—Ex-Governor Charles E. Hughes. The country is to be congratulated upon the wise selection by Mr. Harding of Mr. Hughes as the next secretary of state. Mr. Harding has done the nation an unparalleled service in naming Mr. Hughes as the man who will direct the destinies of the country in its foreign relations for the next four years. Outside of the great statesman, Hon. Eilihu Root, we know of no man in public life today who could bring greater confidence and satisfaction to the restless millions, not only of the United States, but of the war-racked and nervous millions of all Europe. Mr. Hughes needs no eulogy or introduction to us. His marvelous accomplishments in the state and nation in the last decade have marked him as a statesman of the highest and broadest caliber. He is absolutely safe and sane and will always keep his feet on terra firma. For calmness and clearness of intellect and decision he is the most distinguished of all his contemporaries. We are aware that the country was deeply interested in the choice of the man Mr. Harding had in mind for his new premier, because the man selected would have a great bearing upon the future foreign policy of the new administration and especially as to the League of Nations and world peace. As it turns out, the country can be assured at once that the nominee stands out pre-eminently free from all the bitterness and political bias that has been aroused over the discussion of the League of Nations and the Versailles treaty both in the United States Senate and during the campaign. That being the fact he should be all the more acceptable to all factions concerned. That he is in full accord with his chief upon his foreign policies is beyond the pale of discussion. Mr. Hughes will bring back to the State Department its former dignity and high prestige. His career as governor of New York and as a justice on the Supreme bench denote him as an independent thinker possessed with no small degree of self-reliance. The new premier undertakes a tremendous task full of grave responsibilities. Our foreign relations were never in a more complex and perhaps tangled situation than will be found confronting the new secretary when he goes in to take up his new duties. But with his great legal and keen analytical mind we will soon find our Ship of State gliding safely upon calm seas. The entire cabinet presents an array of the most illustrious and outstanding men of the nation. In the appointment of Mr. Herbert C. Hoover as secretary of commerce Mr. Harding has recognized the importance of America's future world trade. Mr. Hoover, above all men, knows the business conditions of the world, through his great war activities, better than most men. Mr. Andrew Mellon of Pennsylvania is named as secretary of the treasury. He is a banker of great financial ability and experience, and has the confidence of the financial world. Mr. Harry M. Daugherty is the personal friend of Mr. Harding and managed his campaign for the nomination. As the new attorney general he will have much to do with the reconstruction work of the next administration. Senator A. B. Fall of New Mexico is a thorough westerner and possesses a wide knowledge of the needs of the West. He is a very able man and well fitted for the post of secretary of the interior. Ex-Senator John W. Weeks of Massachusetts for secretary of war is a fine selection. A better selection could not have been made. He is a graduate of Annapolis and his experience in army and naval affairs will be of great benefit. Mr. Will H. Hays, national chairman, will be to the office of postmaster general what Mr. Hughes will be to the secretaryship of state—an ideal appointment. As an organizer of great ability Mr. Hays stands out most prominently. The Postoffice Department needs such a man as Will Hays at its head. Mr. Henry Wallace of Iowa is the farmer of the cabinet and will be secretary of agriculture. Mr. Denby of Michigan and Mr. Davis of Pennsylvania take the post of secretary of the navy and secretary of the Labor Bureau, respectively. They are both excellent appointments. WHY FEAR GARVEY AND HIS RACE PROPAGANDA? IN EVERY age or generation something in the form of propaganda comes about which creates a sensation, seizes the minds of the people, in fact grips them in their very mental recesses, and after being "tried in the fire," if it stands the test, lives; if not, dies the everlasting death, NEVER TO RISE AGAIN. Now, after following the GARVEY PROPAGANDA for some time we cannot buy conclude that the task is a gigantic one, and from the layman's viewpoint seems rather impracticable; but entertaining the idea of the possibility of wonderful things being accomplished with small beginnings, and that it takes A BIG MAN to tackle and carry out A BIG JOB, we are very much in favor of giving the Garvey Propaganda a chance to try out itself and see if there's any good thing that can come out of "Africa Abroad." "The Redemption of Africa" must start with the American Negro and every other Negro in this Western hemisphere resolving on the hearty co-operation and the absolute maintenance of Negro enterprises, and whether we feel like going to the home of our ancestors or not, Garvey says, "Depend on ourselves; pool your resources, get educated along all lines and enter the fields of commerce like anybody else, and carve a niche in the hall of fame as a people, a race, who by dogged determination to lift themselves from the ditch to which their white brother consigns them, has resolved to unite their forces the world over for a betterment of their conditions and to claim and command superiority as any other race. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is the instrument, the institution, by and through which this youthful Negro leader intends to succeed, and the Denver branch for weeks has been heralding the coming of the General Secretary, the Rev. James D. Brooks, who will arrive here next week to hold a series of meetings for a week. We understand that this local division numbers fifty, among university graduates, college and high school men, as well as some of the oldest and highly respected citizens of Denver, also men and women old and young in various walks of life. They go about with the propaganda quietly, without ostentation, appealing to the intelligent thinker and gradually adding to their numbers. Mr. Brooks is coming under their auspices, and they hope to offer the public a rich treat, when their General Secretary explains thoroughly the purpose of the organization, as well as offer suggestions for the UNITING OF OUR FORCES. THE COLORADO STATESMAN says, all Denver should give him a hearing and we will be in a better position to judge this GREAT CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN, originating in the brain of a Negro and being supported absolutely by the people of his race. Success to this movement will be one of the agencies in the salvation of this vexed race problem which is becoming unhearable. WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?

What they intend to do we do not know. What they can do we certainly do know. If the committee have the notion that they can make the South Republican by attempting to create a purely white Republican party and shunting the Negro, they will be playing poor politics, based solely on prejudice and color. The Democrats of the South have been badly beaten, and what they failed to do at the polls they are attempting to do by trickery and deceit. Lately they have given the vice-president-elect, Mr. Coolidge, a royal welcome in Atlanta. Likewise they are lavishing upon Mr. Harding the hospitalities of the South, both in the hope of causing them to believe that the South is ready to break away from its Democratic moorings and float into the Republican ranks. But when that day comes the G. O. P. elephant will take wings and fly like a blue bird. The eyes of the North are upon the committee, and we will watch every move. We warn the committee to be on its guard and not let those southern Democrats outwit them. The committee has the opportunity to bring the South into line on their own terms, and why not use it. The committee should not let the idea of "white supremacy" overcome it. Be Republicans and stand up for Republicans, whether they be black or white, so they are right. If the visit of the President-elect to the South is going to be the cause of drastic measures against the Negro Republicans of the South it is to be regretted. That there have been a great many contests from the South to the national conventions of the party is true, but who is to blame and who is the cause of it all. Do not lay all the blame at the door of the Negro. He has been the one true, constant, faithful and consistent Republican in the South and is entitled to a square deal at the hands of the national committee when they begin their work of reconstruction. Two years hence, when the congressional elections will be held, we will find the South fighting as hard as ever to elect the most rabid Democrats of the land to Congress. Why the Republicans think it is even necessary to cater to the South we cannot understand. If this next Republican Congress should pass the anti-lynch law and reduce the representation of the Democrats from those states that disfranchise the Negro, then the South will be Republican. But, no; we believe that there is too much alarm by some narrow, timid and prejudiced white Republicans who fear that perhaps a Negro or two might be elected to Congress. If these narrow would-be Republicans would read the history of the Negroes who have been elected to Congress they would learn something of the ability and statesmanship of the Negro. The Republican party is standing in its own light and blocking the progress of civilization by persistently refusing to give the Negro his full political rights and fearlessly enforcing the same. The time has come that we should be a nation of full-grown men and not a nation of blind, prejudiced dwarfs. Loved Milliner's Flowers. It is a custom of the Alaskan Indians to deposit on the grave of a friend some of the things the man or woman had loved best in life. On one grave a milliner in Ketchican, Alaska, recognized a long wreath of flowers as having been purchased at her shop. Each grave is covered over with a floor, roof and balustrade in such manner as to resemble at a distance a little white house. —"SAFETY FIRST" and the Surplus Y FIRST" and the FIRST FOR Surplus Safety - "SAFETY FIRST" and the FIRST FOR SAFETY Surplus Safety # Stands Behind the Community We don't believe in preaching pessimism, but there is no use denying that the yeggs and cracksmen who may have seen us lowering that 60,000-pound vault door into our basement have good cause to be discouraged.

Forty-six perforations are made around the edge of every postage stamp. It is estimated that about 500,000,000 holes are punched every day. This means a similar number of bits of paper. They are collected, repulped and remade into sheets of paper. These are regarded so valuable by the postal authorities that barrels full of them are sold every day. FIRST FOR SAFETY Safety No bank is worthy of confidence that does not maintain adequate reserves. At The First National of Denver it has always been the policy to exceed government regulations in this respect. For over fifty years we have provided MORE safety than was asked of us. This settled practice of insisting upon a SURPLUS OF SAFETY has been carried out in the construction of our new SAFE DEPOSIT vaults. They will never be called upon to meet the extreme emergencies they are designed to resist. We will have four thousand SAFE DEPOSIT BOXES ready when the vaults open on March fifteenth. In these hectic days the advantages of storing your valuables with a bank where not merely safety, but SURPLUS SAFETY is the rule, are too obvious for argument.

It is not my intention to pen the details of feminine peculiarity, but it is my aim to impress you with the fact that modesty and simplicity are indispensable fundamentals to the girl, who must avoid the reefs of disappointment and enjoy the blessings reserved for true womanhood. It is obvious, the average girl is inclined to exhibit herself like a filly; she likes to display feathers and frills, and gab about duds, good times and society. Sooner or later her esthetic nature is stunted and she falls an easy prey to the smooth-tongued libertine. Unfortunately, this type of girls can only contribute to the moral, mental and physical inefficiency of the race. They deserve pity, if not the contempt of every right-thinking man. It is sad to see a girl existing for no other purpose but to be a vain, dashing, powder and paint vamping creature. Evidently she is a victim of mental imbecility, and by right of the law of attraction she is entitled to a place among those who existed in a state of periodic gloom and depression. We extend to her our sympathy while we ignore her ignorance. Don't deceive yourself; no normal man with sound judgment, sense and good taste cares about your fluff, paint, feathers and frills; but we certainly appreciate, respect and admire the intelligent, refined, modest, sweet and simple girls. They are like flowers among weeds. They are the pride of our race. You cannot afford to be a mere tinsel, furbelow, good-time girl and successfully keep pace with the progress and evolution of an advancing civilization. You are a product by law and not by chance; to live a same, rational and useful life is the aim of your being. Are you not aware of the fact that 75 per cent of the frivolous, aimless, drifting useless, good-time element are just about as energetic and progressive as a piece of garbage thrown into a metropolitan ash can? If not, you are still in your morbid sleep. Wake up; be the ideal girl that you promised your mother you would be some day. Conventionalism will only sap your vitality, wretch your nerves and ruin your health. Free yourself from the thraldom of artificiality and vain glory; be your true natural self. Stop drifting with the crowd and blaze a trail of your own. Happiness and love are the choiceest prizes in the game of life, but you can't secure these prizes by any artificial means. They will only lead you on a wild goose chase and never be attained. Modesty, simplicity, sweetness, sentiment, and sense are genuine qualities that will make you attractive, admirable and happy. The world is full of new-fashioned, slangy, dance, fancy, foolish girls who married for style, stunts and society, and their married life is failure, worry and regret. They do not realize, poor things, until it is too late, that money and luxury are not enough to bring happiness. When this truth comes home to them there is nothing left but disillusion, heartache and sorrow. Be true to yourself; to live to be a real girl; let modesty be your defense and simplicity your motto. Be useful, intelligent and refined. The world is HAPPINESS. too enlightened for a girl to remain ignorant, slothful and giddy. Do something worthy of your sex. Such kind of popularity will be enjoyable. Don't flatter your friends. Flattery is a practiced deceit—a dishonorable bait to catch affections. Every throb of the brain, every beat of the heart, tends to consume precious energy; so stop your gabbing and conserve your energy. Don't be sour and cantankerous. Be sweet and serene, and the God of love and happiness will pilot you from the wilderness of blues and wretchedness to the sunny isles of blessedness. AN ENDOWMENT OF $500,000 FOR MEHARRY MEDICAL COLLEGE Dr. G. W. Hubbard Elected President Emeritus; Dr. John J. Mullowney Succeeds Him as President. An endowment of $500,000 for Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tennessee, from the Carnegie Foundation, the General Educational Board, and the Board of Education for Negroes of the Methodist Episcopal Church, was announced at the annual meeting of the board of trustees, on December 22nd. The present endowment of the college is $68,000. Dr. G. W. Hubbard, who sometime ago notified the trustees of the college of his desire to retire from active duty, was unanimously chosen president emeritus of the institution, and Dr. John J. Mullowney, who occupies a chair in Girard Medical College, was elected president. Dr. Hubbard has been acting head of Meharry practically since its inception in 1876. Since the announcement that Dr. Hubbard would retire, the alumni of the institution, with the concurrence of the board of trustees, have been building a home for him on the grounds of the college. Meharry Medical College now has 678 students in the departments of medicine, pharmacy, dentistry and nursing. The college was originally the medical department of the Central Tennessee College, organized in 1876 for the purpose of furnishing an opportunity to Negroes to secure medical education. It became known as Meharry Medical College in 1900 when the Central Tennessee College changed its name to Walden University. Graduates of Meharry Medical College are to be found all over the South and the statement is made that one-half of the educated Negro physicians in the Southern states are graduates of this school.

This promises to be a great year for the N. A. A. C. P. in Colorado, as a wonderful spirit of activity is manifest all over the state. SPECIAL OFFICER W. O. STEAM KILLED. On last Friday night, about 8:30 p.m., Special Officer Steam was shot and killed in the club rooms and dance hall at 2128 Arapahoe street. He was sitting at a table playing cards with three other men and Kell O'Neill walked into the room and said, "Steam, I have come to get you," and shot him twice. Officer Steam died instantly, and his body was taken at once to the morgue. O'Neill escaped but was captured a day or two afterwards. Officer Steam was especially adapted for the work he did and was well though of by the police department for his good work as an officer. He was buried from the Douglass Undertaking partors Wednesday afternoon. John P. Morgan, who was with O'Neill at the time of the shooting, is also held for the murder. ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Chapman announce the engagement of their foster daughter, Miss Minnie Caroline Sanderlin, to James Bondurant Russell, Miss Sanderlin is the daughter of the late Wm. E. and Hattie N. Sanderlin.

Leonard White, connected with a local stock and bond house, as secretary. The organization is named in honor of the eminent anthropologist and psychologist of the Rockefeller Research Institute, and will devote much attention to sales promotion by direct mail. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The work of the Y. M. C. A. is taking more definite shape each day, and is being placed upon a firmer basis. At the last meeting of the committee of management, the committee requested the board of directors, William E. Sweet president, to name the new committee for the present year. The board accordingly has announced the following: E. P. Blakemore, S. A. Bondurant, Jesse J. Brown, S. E. Cary, Walter R. Chapman, Alfred V. Gardner, A. C. Jackson, Edward Johnson, George C. King, Oglesvle L. Lawson, L. H. Lightner, Lemuel R. Owens, William E. Parks, A. A. Waller, Luther H. Walton. Mr. Lightner was reappointed chairman. The committee reelected Mr. Parks recording secretary, and Mr. Bondurant treasurer. Mr. Townsend will also hereafter sit with the committee, and he and Secretary Bell will be members ex-officio of that body. The joint public meeting of the Y. M. and the Y. W., which was held at the Central Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon, was a great success. A large number was present, the women, however, predominating, notwithstanding the fact that the membership of the men is at least twice that of the women. Secretary Lute of the Central Association spoke on "Fundamental Rights of the Individual." It was a splendid address, and was well received by his hearers. The Rev. P. J. Price, pastor of the church, and the Rev. Dr. S. A. Stripling of the Scott M. E. Church, represented the ministry of the city. The new Bible class, which meets on Thursday evenings, has started off well, and bids fair to grow very rapidly. The meeting tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon will be held at the "Y" building. Dr. S. A. Stripling will be the speaker. His subject will be, "How the Ideas and Principles of Marcus Garvey of New York Can Be Used for the Elevation of the Race." In view of the recent notoriety of Mr. Garvey a large crowd will doubtless be present. The meeting will begin promptly at 4 o'clock, and will be open to everybody. "AH. BOY! YEA. BHO!" Heads, up, let's go to the bath house at Twentieth and Curtis Wednesdays; swimming from 5:30 p. m. to 8 p. m. Friday afternoons from 4 p. m. to 6 p. m., in the gym, basketball, volleyball, boxing, wrestling and group games for all. Don't let this great opportunity pass you by and later find you asleep at the switch. Come down and learn how to swim, one of the greatest assets in life; it is also your chance to learn America's greatest indoor game, basketball. Follow the crowd to where there will be something doing all the time. Speak to your parents about this and secure their permission to be on hand at all times. Mr. Townsend will have complete charge of all activities; enough said. Washington's birthday was well spent with the boys in the building, a crowd being on hand all day and the tension shown in the different games was of a nature only exhibited by boys. We had planned to be in the open, but the weather man fooled us. A soccer and an indoor baseball game were also on the day's program. Some of our boys attended the big and little brothers banquet Wednesday evening at the Adams hotel as guests of their big brothers. All went home feeling that the evening had been well spent. The drum corp is making wonderful progress in the art of handling two sticks and hope to be out in the open displawing their art to all. Mr. Townsend will speak at the Y. W. C. A. Sunday afternoon at 3:30 p. m. The city-wide colored boys' work committee had a most gratifying meeting and luncheon at the Y. W. C. A. Tuesday evening. The new plans for our boys' work here in the city were presented by the secretary and were heartily endorsed by the committee. As soon as advertising matter can be printed our new plans will be before the entire public. CAMPBELL A. M. E. CHURCH Lawrence and Twenty-third Streets, Rev. I. S.

Brilliant Dinner Party Brilliant Dinner Party Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Carter delightfully entertained at a formal dinner party last Saturday evening at their spacious and beautiful home, 2452 Lafayette street. Covers were laid for thirty-six, and never was a gayer or more brilliant affair given in Denver. At exactly 9 o'clock the guests marched down the stairway to the strains of entrancing music and entered the dining room where the scene of incomparable radiance and beauty of color greeted them. The color scheme of yellow and green was carried out with impressive richness in every detail. Potted yellow tulips and fragrant yellow roses with a liberal back ground of fern and palms formed the chief decorations, which, with the soft light emanating from twelve candles, lent a charm of sweetness beyond power to describe. The charming hostess, in a rich lavender gown, trimmed with silver lace and bedecked with jewels, sat at one end of the table, while to her right sat Dr. T. E. McClain, the master of ceremonies. At the other end of the table the genial host reigned and on his right was Mrs. Belle Contee in a gorgeous gown of blue silk with ornamental pearls. The dinner consisted of seven courses. Dr. T. E. McClain has long since gained a reputation as toastmaster par-excellence, but on this occasion he out-did all previous efforts. The program for the occasion was graciously arranged by Mrs. Eliza Dishman and her admitted genius was never better displayed. The program was both novel and unique, portraying by musical romance the happy married life and constant advance of Mr. and Mrs. Carter from the days of their courtship down to the present. The distinctive features of the program were a vocal solo by Mrs. Dishman, "If Flowers Could Speak," and a piano rendition of "The Rosary" by Mrs. Earl W. Mann. Appropriate toasts to the host and hostess were offered by each of the guests. One outstanding feature of the dinner was the strikingly stunning gowns worn by the ladies. Mrs. Robt. Roy appeared most charming in a black pan-velvet, with sequel beads and an American beauty rose. She carried graciely a red fan of huge ostrich feathers. Mrs. Mack Wright wore a Reseda blue, trimmed in pastel. Mrs. Frances Ratley, a hello trope gown draped in black lace. Mrs. T. E. McClain, carnary georgette crepe with pasmetric trimming. Mrs. Earl Mann, a plum colored charmeuse with gold lace. Mrs. Mayme Burns, royal purple, tulle fleure and pearls. Mrs. Lizzie Anderson, white georgette, trimmed in maribou. Mrs. Eliza Dishman, white crepe-de-chine, panel of roses. Mrs. Ada Webster, black beaded net with steel cut beads. Mrs. Mary Gross, burnt orange satin, tulle flounce trimmed with Jets. Mrs. Pitt, handsome pheasant blue with silver lace. Mrs. Mary Holmes, midnight blue gown with flowing net trimming and jewels. Mrs. Wm. Stewart, grey satin, trimmed in real lace and ornamental pearls. Mrs. Robt. Mitchel, pina cloth, hand embroidery lace, American beauty roses. Mrs. N. J. Skillem, pink georgette with gold lace and fringe. In addition to the husbands of each of the married ladies mentioned above, were Dr. E. T. Canty and Mr. A. Williams to represent the bachelor's club. Denver is noted far and wide for her lavish social functions and the Carter home has done much to sustain this by a series of stately affairs during the past year. BUSINESS VS. PLEASURE HERE is nothing which marks the progress of a people more than the character and success of its business men and women. There is nothing more helpful to a successful business man than clean, healthy, legitimate pleasure. Business and pleasure are two great essentials in life's progress, but they do not go together. They do not seem to mix well. When business and pleasure run amuck, the business is completely knocked out and consequently the pleasure fades into gloom. If a careful survey of all the business failures were taken we could safely say that the greater per cent of the failures could be traced to a reckless neglect of the business because of a wantonness, craving desire for pleasure at the wrong time. Business is most a peculiar something. It is like a fairy that must be often attended, petted and carressed or else it takes flight and is gone. Business brings pleasure, but we are not aware that pleasure brings business. Too often we are wont to disregard or defer important business engagements for a few passing moments of imaginary pleasure. Society is the greatest enemy to business that we can possibly name. Many business men get the false idea that to become a social hero or society leader among the fair sex, with frequent invitations to dine, dance or take a hand at cards means business fame, but he will soon become disillusioned when he finds his clients or patrons going to his competitor who can give them his time or keep his engagements with them. If only we could realize as a race how much really depends upon our attending strictly to business we would not be making so many lamentable excuses and complaints. If we were as prompt and eager to keep a business engagement, no matter how small or insignificant, as we are to keep a pleasure engagement we would not be so far behind the other races who are succeeding in business. We can positively say that there is not another race of people that desires more to patronize our Negro business and professional men, but become so exasperatingly disgusted at their lack of business promptitude and faithfulness in making good—in other words Keeping Their Word. So much valuable, precious time, so many golden hours are actually flitted away by us when we really know better and are actually ashamed when we come to ourselves and see whither we have allowed ourselves to drift in search of a little pleasure. Let us realize that it is not pleasure that makes a race, but rather it is business that will elevate us in the eyes of the opposite race and cause the prejudice and hatred to fade away. That a man may be fully rounded out and the better prepared to attend to business it is necessary for him to have some pleasure, but not to the total and absolute expense of his business. A business engagement should be paramount to any and all social engagements. We would hardly believe that a young man would throw up his job to attend a one night social stand, yet often has such a thing happened. Society has a tendency to make some men and women mere flippants, while business tends to make most men and women solid, dependable and worth while. The sooner we realize that one of the main elements in the formation of character and real business success is to be a man of your word—a man who, when he makes an engagement can be depended upon to keep it, the sooner our race will rise to a higher level. Ostrich's Feelings Hurt. The finest ostrich feathers are the forty or more white ones which come off the wings. The birds seem to feel very keenly the disgrace of having their feathers plucked. They go about hanging their heads and showing chagrin very plainly. A more bedraggled forlorn-looking creature than the freshly plucked ostrich does not exist. HARVEY G.

Give a thought to the Living. It is remarkable how few of us ever think that angels may be entertained unawares, that the misfit may be the one who is in time to immortalize his name and cast luster on the country of his birth or adoption. It may be all right to canonize the great when they are dead, but it is sad to think how few of them have been appreciated while alive.—Exchange. Soda Fountain "Uncle Joe"Cannon Sets Service Record EPRESENTATIVE JOSEPH GURNEY CANNON, Republican, Eighteenth district of Illinois set a new American record the other day for service in congress, when he passed the mark set by Senator Justin S. Morrill of Vermont, who, as senator and represent- ative, served 43 years, 9 months and 24 days. Counting his victory in the recent landslide, Mr. Cannon has been elected to congress 23 times. He is now ending his forty-fourth year of service. He was first elected to the Forty-third congress (1873-5) EPRESENTATIVE JOSEPH GURNEY CANNON, Republican, Eighteenth district of Illinois set a new American record the other day for service in congress, when he passed the mark set by Senator Justin S. Morrill of Vermont, who, as senator and rep- resentative, served 43 years, 9 months and 24 days. Counting his victory in the recent landslide, Mr. Cannon has been elected to congress 23 times. He is now ending his forty-fourth year of service. He was first elected to the Forty-third congress (1873-5) and failed of re-election to the Fifty-third (1893-5) and Sixty-second (1911-13) congresses. He was speaker in the Fifty-eighth, Fifty-ninth, Sixtieth and Sixty-first congresses (1903-1911). His district comprises the counties of Clark, Cumberland, Ed- gar, Iroquois, Kankakee and Vermilion, with a population of about 250,000. He lives in Danville and is a lawyer and banker. He was born in Guilford, N. C., and will be eighty-five years old May 7, 1921. "Uncle Joe" Cannon's name is exceedingly familiar to the United States at large; probably few public men are more widely known. So the foregoing facts about him are pretty generally known. While the veteran is interesting as an individual and a legislator he is also interesting as a landmark by which the progress of things may be measured. The jubilation held by the house when "Uncle Joe" set the new service mark was therefore a decidedly interesting affair. Times have changed and we have changed with them since he was elected to congress in 1872 and here are some of the utterances which hint at the changes of nearly half a century. Former Speaker Champ Clark of Missouri—When Joseph G. Cannon was born on the battlefield of Guilford Court House, a victory for Lord Cornwallis, the fruits of which were repealed by General Greene, we did not have any railroads, any telegraphs, any telephones, any sewing machines, any repeating rifles, and a thousand and one things that we consider necessary to our modern civilization. When we celebrated "Uncle Joe's eighteenth birthday I laid down the conditions on which a man could serve as long as he had. In the first place, the politics of his district must remain the same. In the second place, he must be a man of force and ability. In the third place, he must remain as faithful as the North Star. I said that "Uncle Joe" filled those conditions. I think yet that he does. William A. Rodenberg of Illinois—Joseph G. Cannon was first elected in 1872 as a representative in the Forty-third congress from the fourteenth district of Illinois, and he became a member of this body on March 4, 1873, the same day on which Ulysses S. Grant was inaugurated for the second time as President of the United States. How far we have traveled since that day may be understood when we recall that at the time of Mr. Cannon's first election the population of the United States was estimated at 40,596,000 as against 106,000,000 today; there were 37 states then as against 48 today; the public wealth, which was estimated at something over $30,000,000,000 in 1872, is placed at more than $300,000,000,000 now; the bank deposits, which then amounted to $1,250,000,000 have grown to $32,700,000,000, and our railroad service has expanded from 66,000 miles of track in operation to more than 268,000 miles. That, in brief, summarizes the vast strides that we have made in material progress since he has been a member of this house. Some idea of how the post office department has expanded can also be had when we remember that in 1873 the receipts aggregated $23,000,000 and the disbursements $29,000,000, while last year the receipts were $437,000,000 and the disbursements $454,000,000 But it will not be because of his services upon the committee on post offices and post roads, valuable as they were, that his fame will rest. After serving for six years upon that committee he was assigned by Samuel J. Randall, a Democratic speaker, to the committee on appropriations in the Forty-sixth congress, and it is because of his identity with the workings of that important committee down to the time of his elevation to the speakership that his fame will remain assured throughout the ages. It can be truthfully said that no man has proved a stronger bulwark of protection to the federal treasury at all times and under all circumstances. Irrespective of the temporary interruptions in his long and distinguished career, the event we CANNON HOME AT DANVILLE, III. commemorate today securely establishes Joseph G. Cannon in the place of "Father of all the American Congresses." When he took his seat at the beginning of the Forty-third congress, the great empire of the West was still the frontier of our civilization. That vast and powerful section, now so potent in the councils of the nation, was then without votes, excepting a narrow fringe of population on the shores of the Pacific ocean. The sovereign states of Arizona, Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, Washington and Wyoming were without votes and were represented here by delegates. What a wonderful galaxy of brilliant men were here when he came to congress! James G. Blaine, the "Plumed Knight" of American statesmen, was speaker of the house. James A. Garfield was a member of the Ohio delegation and was giving evidences of those talents of leadership which subsequently called him to the presidency. Julius C. Burrows, of Michigan; James B. Beck, of Kentucky; William P. Frye and Eugene Hale, of Malne; Joseph R. Hawley, of Connecticut; George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts; Roger Q. Mills, of Texas; and Stephen B. Elkins, of the territory of New Mexico, were elected members of the same house and were subsequently called to the other end of the capitol. But there were, in that same congress, men who rounded out their congressional careers in this body and whose names are equally familiar to the American people. Among them might be mentioned Benjamin F. Butler of Massachusetts; Richard P. Bland, of Missouri; "Sunset" Cox, of New York; William S. Holman, of Indiana; John A. Kasson, of Iowa; William R. Morrison, of Illinois; Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania; Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia. At the other end of the capitol might be mentioned Senators Allison, of Iowa; Bayard, of Delaware; Cameron, of Pennsylvania; Carpenter, of Wisconsin; Chandler, of Michigan; Roscoe Conkling, of New York; Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia; Edmunds, of Vermont; Frelinghysen, of New Jersey; Hannibal Maitlin, of Maine; John J. Ingalls, of Kansas; John A. Logan, of Illinois; Justin S. Morrill, of Vermont; Oliver P. Morton, of Indiana; Carl Schurz, of Missouri; John Sherman and Allen G. Thurman, of Ohio; William Windom, of Minnesota. Of the 371 senators, representatives and delegates who were recorded in that notable gathering, all but two have passed from the stage of public life, but a merciful Providence has left us Speaker Cannon and General Sherwood in order that we might know that in those days there were giants upon the earth. It has been given to no other man in all our history to be so intimately connected with so many historic characters. Mr. Cannon has served under 10 speakers of this house, in the following order; James G. Blaine, Michael C. Kerr, Samuel J. Randall, J. Warren Keifer, John G. Carlisle, Thomas B. Reed, Charles L. Crisp, David B. Henderson, Champ Clark and Frederick H. Gillett, while he himself occupied that exalted position for a period of eight years. He has also served under 10 presidents, as follows: Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson, and in a few weeks Harding will be added to the list.

It has been given to no other man in all our history to be so intimately connected with so many historic characters. Mr. Cannon has served under 10 speakers of this house, in the following order; James G. Blaina, Michael C. Kerr, Samuel J. Randall, J. Warren Keifer, John G. Carlisle, Thomas B. Reed, Charles L. Crisp, David B. Henderson, Champ Clark and Frederick H. Gillett, while he himself occupied that exalted position for a period of eight years. He has also served under 10 presidents, as follows: Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland, Harrison, McKinley, Roosevelt, Taft, and Wilson, and in a few weeks Harding will be added to the list. The Forty-third congress, in which Mr. Cannon began his service, will be memorable because of the passage of the act providing for the resumption of specie payments following the Civil war. The civil rights bill, the amnesty bill and much similar legislation of a reconstructive nature, made necessary by that unhappy event, need not be referred to. The great granger movement finally resulted, in 1887, in the enactment of the interstate commerce law. The numerous legislative battles growing out of Photo by Western Newspaper Union the treatment of silver and the maintenance of the country's monetary standard, not to mention such side issues as the greenback craze—contests that were only settled by the titanic struggle of 1896—were all fought out here during the term of his active service. He was an active participant in the long-extended efforts out of which was finally evolved the present civil service. He has participated in the enactment of all of the great tariff measures; in the legislation that has been passed for the protection and elevation of labor, including the Chinese exclusion law; in the so-called Sherman anti-trust law for curbing corporate greed and monopoly; in the law that built the Panama canal, linking the oceans, and realizing the dream of centuries; in the legis- lation that was made necessary by two great wars. In the first of which we brought the blessings of liberty to the struggling patriots of Cuba, acquired Porto Rico and the Philippines, and by the second brought to an end the greatest conflict that the world has ever known. Since he has been here he has seen four of the eighteen amendments to the Constitution adopted as part of the organic law. He has seen the expanding business of the nation call for the creation of three new executive departments—Agriculture, Commerce and Labor—and innumerable subsidiary bureaus. He has seen political parties rise and disappear and the issues which produced them cease to exist. But, above all, he has lived to see the American republic, which he has loved and labored for throughout all these years, and which is in no small part the result of his handwork, proclaimed as the leading nation in all the world. Gen. Isaac R. Sherwood of Ohio (born 1835)—It is true that I am the oldest man who ever served in this historic chamber, but I have always been told that there is no virtue in being old. If there were, I would be the most virtuous man here. We are here today with a living knockdown argument of the theory of Doctor Osler (laughter) in Uncle Joe, who has honored this chamber with the longest service of any man who ever served in any parliamentary body in the world. After the 4th of March next I shall bld farewell to congress, and Uncle Joe will then be the oldest member of congress and the oldest member of any parliamentary body in the world, and I wish him a parting "God bless you" with all my heart. Speaker Frederick H. Gillett of Massachusetts—The activities of the gentleman from Illinois in an official capacity have probably affected directly and indirectly more millions of Americans than those of any individual now dwelling upon the earth. Not only has he surpassed all the statesmen of America in length of service in conspicuous place in which he has been conspicuous, but he has surpassed the service of all save a very few statesmen in history, ancient and modern, and he stands today with a longer record of eminent position than any statesman now living in any nation of the world. Majority Floor Leader Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming—We have not always agreed with Uncle Joe on either side, but we have all honored him for his virile ability and, more than that, for his stalwart, unwavering courage. Long may he remain here to remind those who come that a man can be courageous, that a man can stand for what he believes is right, even though it may not for the moment be popular. "Uncle Joe" Cannon—As I look into your faces I am reminded that our honored speaker and his predecessor in that chair were approaching the tots to cast their first votes in 1872. Jim Mann, at the age of sixteen, was no doubt beginning his struggle with rival ambitions to continue a farmer or become a lawyer; today he is an ornament to both professions, a true, scientific farmer and the most industrious and useful lawmaker I have ever known. My friends Rainey and Mondell, at the age of twelve, were beginning to figure life in percentages, while Rodenberg, at the age of seven, winning his way with "You would scarcely expect one of my age," and the ambitions of Claude Kitchin and Nick Longworth, at the age of three, were centered about their first pants.

(Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Notice from opponents of the state railroad commissioner that they intend to request committee action on Senators Elliott and McFadzean's bill to abolish the commission, and announcement from another group that opposition to the thirteen so-called "Lindsey bills" will be waged immediately when they are brought up for second reading, promise an interesting session of the State House of Representatives. The railroad commission abolishment bill has lain in a pigeonhole of the state affairs and apportionment committee since it was sent over from the Senate. Representative Paul B. Godsman's reapportionment bill is reposing there also, and since friend and foe alike of both measures are members of this committee, action on either has not been pressed. Another fight in the lower House is impending over Representative Morris A. Penter's bill to penalize giving or seeking of pre-election pledges when it comes up for third reading. Supporters of a "blue sky" bill introduced by title by Senator L. E. Girard of Boulder threaten to start an eruption in the upper House when Senator W. O. Peterson's speculative securities commission bill comes up for third reading. Passage of the Peterson bill, they believe, would mean a virtual end of the Girard proposal, at least for this session. This is the only so-called administration measure on the Senate calendar. By deleting by amendment eight simple words from House bill 196, by Representatives A. M, Wilson and W. H. McIntyre, both of El Paso county, friends in the Legislature of the Denver city hall machine have transformed the bill into one of the most obviously pork barrel measures—in the Twenty-third General Assembly, members from outside counties declared as they began organizing opposition to be fired at the proposal when it comes up for third reading. The bill, as amended and passed on second reading by the lower House last week, provides that for any four months of each year the county clerk of every county may hire, for the purpose of issuing automobile licenses, one clerk at $100 a month for each 2,000 automobile licenses issued in his county. Originally the provisions read "except in the city and county of Denver." By amendment these eight simple words were cut out, making the provisions apply to Denver, as well as other counties. At the end of a bitter fight in which charges of "politics" and "pernicious lobbying" were freely exchanged, the State Senate adopted Senator W. O. Peterson's amendment to Senate Bill 315, to empower the State Industrial Commission, rather than the state treasurer, as now, to direct investment of money in the state workmen's compensation fund above those needed for payment of immediate claims. A bill providing for the leasing by the state of land dedicated to public purposes for the use of highways was passed on second reading. Representative Harbaugh is the author of the bill. Under provisions of the bill, if the road was changed because of the land being put to some other use by the owner, it would be necessary for the owner to change and rebuild the highway. A bill by Senators J. F. Church and R. C. Callen allowing the state to receive gifts and legacies was passed on final reading by the House. Final passage was given to a bill by Representative Minnie C. T. Love of Denver, preventing courts from sending children to sectarian institutions for a home or for committing crimes. The bill allowing for the selling of state land to veterans of the world war and giving them twenty years in which to pay was put over when it came up for hearing. The House passed on final reading the bill by Representative Bert M. Lake of Denver, that will reorganize the Colorado National Guard. A bill by Senator R. C. Callen, providing for the brand inspection of live stock shipped out of the state, was passed on third reading. The bill creating the Fourteenth judicial district out of Routt, Moffat and Grand counties also passed on final reading. The fee charged for each permit would be raised to $100, if the bill becomes law. The bill was put over for action. Representative George A. Pughe, author of the bill, made the request to lay the bill over. Churches would be limited to five gallons of wine on one permit and would not be allowed to take out permits for liquor for sacramental purposes more than once every three months, under the provisions of a bill by Representative Thomas Blackwell of Delta county, that came before the House. A bill providing for the time of holding District Court in Montrose county, seventh judicial district, also passed the House on final reading. The bill was introduced by Senator O. E. Bannister. DR.

IS RELATIVELY CHEAP FOOD Combines Exceptionally Well With Meat, Cheese and Fruit and Vegetables—Supplies as Much Food as Do Other Cereals. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) American rice is as good as that grown anywhere in the world; and with last year's crop about a fourth larger than ever before the housewife should plan to use more rice in the family meals, advise specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Except in the South, rice has never been so popular in this country as it deserves to be. It is relatively cheap, easily digested, so mild in flavor that it combines exceptionally well with meat, cheese, and fruits and vegetables of pronounced flavor. Pound for pound it supplies as much fuel for the body as does white flour, cornmeal and most of the other cereals. Moreover, rice can be served in so many ways that no family need grow tired of it. Good Served Hot or Cold. As a breakfast cereal, rice is good served either hot or cold with milk or cream or with fruit. If the rice is cooked in milk in a double boiler (one quart milk to one cupful dry rice), it is especially nutritious and has a richer flavor than when boiled in water. As a starchy food to eat with meat some persons prefer rice to potatoes, and many others would like it if it were always flaky and well-seasoned. Bolled rice is not sticky when washed thoroughly, cooked in plenty of water. A woman preparing a dish. Rice and Fruit Make a Good Salad, and drained as soon as the grains become soft. Overcooking and using too little salt are common mistakes that have prejudiced many persons against rice as a part of the meat course. For use in soups, rice is one of the best of all the cereals. It may be cooked in the soup stock, or left-overs of cooked rice may be added just before the soup is served. Soups or gravies may also be thickened with the water in which rice has been boiled. As a basis for scalloped and stewed dishes substantial enough to be used as the main course of a meal, rice is excellent. Relatively small amounts of some of the higher-priced foods can in this way be made to go further. Many attractive salads can be made by combining cooked rice with leftover portions of fish, meat, or vegetables. Rice desserts have long been stand-bys in the American household, but new ones are constantly being added to the list. Some of the simplest rice desserts are best, and are particularly good for children. For example, either hot or cold boiled rice is very good served with jelly, jam, or marmalade, maple syrup, or cinnamon and sugar, or a sauce of fresh, crushed fruits. The following recipes for cooking rice have been tested in the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture: Boiled Rice. 1 cupful rice or 4 quartes boiling 1 teaspoonful salt. Wash the rice through several waters, until all the loose starch is removed, and drain it. Have the boiling water—salted—ready in a deep saucepan; slowly drop in the rice, and allow it to boil rapidly for about 15 or 20 minutes or until a grain pressed between the thumb and finger is entirely soft. In order to prevent it from sticking to the pan, lift the rice, if necessary, from time to time with a fork, but do not stir it, for stirring is likely to break the grains. When sufficiently cooked, turn the rice into a colander or sieve, and after the water has drained off, cover with a cloth and set over a pan of hot water on the back of the stove or in the oven; or turn the rice into a shallow pan, cover with a lid, and place it in a warm oven for a short time. Treated in this way the grains swell and are kept separate. Cream of Celery Soup With Rice. ½ pound celery or chopped parsley, asparagus. or 1 teaspoonful onion juice 1 quart cold water 2 tablespoonful butter, drippings, or curdle 3 table spoonful 4 table spoonful 1 quart cold water. juice 2 tablespoonfuls butter. 2 teaspoonfuls salt. tender, drippings or ¼ teaspoonful pepperther preferred fat. per. 1 table spoonful 1 quart milk. Cut the celery or asparagus in half-inch pieces. Cook the rice and celeryor asparagus in the water until bothare tender. Press them through acolander and add the fat, the seasonings, and the milk, and reheat. Thiswill make five or six average servings. Oysters Scalloped With Rice. 2 cupfuls cooked rice. 1 cupful milk. 1 pint fresh oysters. 2 table spoonfuls1 cupful chopped flour. bottle. ½ teaspoonful salt ½ teaspoonful pepper. 2 tablespoonfuls but- ½ teaspoonful pepper or other fat. per. Place alternate layers of rice, oysters, and celery in a baking dish and pour over them a smooth white sauce made by melting the butter and stirring in the milk, the flour, the salt, and the pepper. Bake for 20 minutes. This will make eight or ten average servings. Savory Rice Omelette. 3 t able spoonfuls minced ham or left-over fried bacon ½ cupful cooked rice. ½ cupful milk. 1 tablespoonful butter or other fat. 1 teaspoonful chopped parsley. ter or other fat. $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful salt. teaspoonful chopped $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful pepparsey. Beat the whites and the yolks of the eggs separately. Mix all the ingredients, folding in the whites of eggs last. Pour the mixture into a hot, well-greased frying pan, and when it is brown, fold it over with a flexible-bladed knife. Turn the omelette out on a warm platter and serve immediately. Rice and Tuna Fish or Salmon Salad. Remove the bones and skin from a can of salmon or tuna fish, and mince it finely. Add an equal quantity of cold boiled rice, and season the mixture with salt, pepper, and vinegar. Stir in enough boiled salad dressing to molsten it and set it away for a while in a cool place. When ready to serve, add a little crisp celery finely cut, and shape the salad in molds molested with cold water. VEGETABLE CHOWDER RECIPE Best to Learn the Type of Dish and Not Be Confined to Any Definite Formula. Vegetable chowders offer a good way of using up vegetables and skim milk. It is best to learn the type of dish and not be confined to any definite recipe, say food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, for materials are often wasted thereby which should be used. The following typical recipe is a good one and suggestive of the kind of dish one can easily make: 1/4 pound salt pork or 4 medium-sized potbacon. Put the bacon or pork, onion and pepper through the meat chopper and cook carefully about five minutes. Add the water and tomatoes and cook until the vegetables are tender. Cut the potatoes and carrots into small pieces and cook in water until tender; drain and add with the skim milk to the other ingredients. Thicken with the flour mixed with a little cold milk. REFRESHMENT FOR CHILDREN Danger of Overeating Lessened If Food Is Served at Time to Take Place of Regular Meal. Children's parties present special problems because they give the mother the responsibility for feeding other people's children. One danger of such occasions—that of overeating—will be lessened if the refreshments are served at such a time as to take the place of one of the regular meals of the day. The same care should be taken in selecting foods as in the case of the ordinary meals. No hard, tough, rich, or highly seasoned foods should be served, say food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Cocon or some other milk drink, fruit, sandwiches, ice cream or a gelatin dessert, plain frosted cake, and simple candies make a good bill of fare. TRY OMELET WITH CROUTONS Recipe Given for Making Dish That Will Tempt Appetites of Great Many People. A well-made omelet or souffle is a dish that tempts most people. Try this omelet with croutons for variety. Make croutons by cutting stale bread into one-third-inch cubes; fry in butter until crisp and well browned. Beat five eggs slightly, add four tablespoonfuls of cream or milk, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth teaspoonful of pepper, and the browned croutons. Put two tablespoonfuls of butter in a hot omelet pan, and when the butter is melted and hot turn in the mixture. As it cooks prick and pick up with a fork until the whole is of a uniform, creamy consistency. Increase the heat and brown quickly underneath, then fold and turn on a hot platter; garnish with sprigs of parsley and serve. The Kitchen Cabinet (@. 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) Out of the suffering comes the serious mind; out of the salvation the grateful heart; out of endurance, fortitude; out of deliverance, faith.— Ruskin. HAVE A DOUGHNUT. For a small family that enjoys fresh crisp doughnuts a small recipe which makes two dozen cakes will be found most useful. Baking Pan Drop Doughnuts.—Take one egg, separate, beating the white until stiff. Add one-half cupful of sugar to the egg white and lightly stir the sugar in a little at a time. Then add the yolk, a grating of lemon peel, one quarter of a teaspoonful of ginger, one-half cupful of milk, a little salt and one and one-half cupfuls of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Mix and drop by teaspoonfuls into hot fat. When cool roll in powdered sugar. With a little practice these doughnuts may be made as round as a ball. The fat must be hot enough to brown a cube of bread in one minute. If not hot enough the doughnuts will flatten and soak fat. The following is one of the famous Salvation Army recipes for doughnuts which were served daily by the thousand during the war: Jelly Doughnuts.—Dissolve one yeast cake and one tablespoonful of sugar in one and one-fourth cupfuls of milk scalded and cooled to luke warm; add one and one-half cupfuls of flour and beat well. Cover and let stand in a warm place until light—about three-quarters of an hour. Add the sponge to three tablespoonfuls of butter, one-half cupful of sugar, one well-beaten egg, one teaspoonful of salt and three more cupfuls of flour. Let rise two hours, roll out to one-third inch in thickness, cut with a cookie cutter. Stretch the dough, add one teaspoonful of jelly, wet the edges and squeeze together. Cover and let rise again for forty-five minutes. Then drop in deep fat and cook two to three minutes on each side. Doughnut Balls.—Mix together one cupful of sugar, one-half teaspoonful of nutmeg, two well-beaten eggs. Dissolve one teaspoonful of soda in one cupful of sour milk. Add about three cupfuls of flour and drop by teaspoonfuls in hot fat. This recipe is similar to the drop doughnuts above, but it makes double the amount. The wealth of a man is the number of things he loves and blesses; which he is loved and blessed by—Carlyle. SEASONABLE FOODS. February and March are hard months for cooks. Winter foods have lost their flavor and spring vegetables are not yet in market for the average-sized pocketbook. These are the months when the pancake flourishes, and for variety try: PANCAKE Oatmeal Cakes. — Add one-half cupful of milk to two cupfuls of boiled oatmeal, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter, two well-beaten eggs, one teaspoonful of salt, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, one cupful of flour sifted with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat well and bake on a greased griddle. Honey Hermits. — Take one cupful of fat, one and one-half cupfuls of warm honey, three eggs well beaten, one teaspoonful of salt, two teaspoonfuls of cinnamon, one teaspoonful of soda, one cupful of chopped nuts and raisins. Flour to roll. Bake in a moderate oven. Caramel Rice Pudding.—Cook one half cupful of rice in boiling salted water. Drain and blanch by rinsing with cold water in a colander or sieve. Cool and add two well-beaten egg yolks, one-half cupful of brown sugar, one-half cupful of raisins; flavor with vanilla, add a dash of cinnamon and one-half cupful of nutmeats. Bake until brown and add the beaten whites as a meringue. Brown the meringue and serve with cream, sweetened with caramel sirup. To make the sirup, brown a few tablespoonfuls of sugar in a smooth saucepan, stirring until melted and brown. Add a few tablespoonfuls of water and when melted serve. Delmonico Pudding.—Turn a pint can of peaches with the sirup into a pudding dish. Heat one pint of milk in a double boiler; stir one-third of a cupful of cornstarch to a smooth paste with half a teaspoonful of salt and one-half cupful of cold milk, then stir and cook in the hot milk until the mixture thickens; cover and cook fifteen minutes. Beat the yolks of two eggs, add one-third of a cupful of sugar and beat again, then stir into the hot mixture; continue to cook until the egg is cooked. Pour over the peaches. Beat the whites of two eggs very light then add four tablespoonfuls of sugar and spread over the pudding; sprinkle a little sugar over the meringue and cook in a slow oven ten minutes, then increase the heat to color the meringue. Serve neither very hot nor very cold. Neele Maxwell The KITCHEN CABINET (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) The question for each man to settle is not what he would do if he had means, time, influence and educational advantages; but what he will do with the things he has,--Hamilton Wright Mabie. SOME GOOD MAIN DISHES. What to have for the chief dish for a meal is often a problem. Some time try this: Alaskan Dish -Cut two pounds of round steak into eight pieces for serving, dice one-half pound of salt pork—less Alaskan Dish Cut two pounds of round steak into eight pieces for serving, dice one-half pound of salt pork—less may be used. Cook the pork and one cupful of finely cut celery and one large onion minced in the pork fat. Fry the steak on both sides in the hot fat, add all to the kettle, blend two tablespoonfuls of flour with some of the fat, pour over the meat and simmer the whole thirty minutes. Just before serving add one cupful of cooked spaghetti and one pint of stewed tomatoes. Serve on a hot platter. Panned Oysters.—Scald one cupful of oysters. When the edges curl remove from the liquor. Take one table-spoonful of butter creamed with two of flour, cook with one cupful of milk; cook until thick. Add one-half cupful each of broken nut meats and chopped celery. Season to taste and add the oysters. Remove the tops from rolls, scoop out the soft part, toast the tops and shells and fill with the oysters. Serve piping hot. Baked Lima Beans With Tomatoes. —Soak a pound of beans over night, parboll for five minutes, rinse, cook in water to cover until tender. Add one teaspoonful of salt to every quart of water used. More water may be added if necessary during the boiling. Season two cupfuls of tomato with salt, pepper and onion juice. Add to the drained beans. Put into a bean pot, cover with two thick slices of bacon and bake until the bacon is crisp and brown. Fricassee of Sheep's Tongues.—Wash four sheep's tongues carefully, put into a saucepan, cover with boiling water and simmer for two hours or until they are tender.

Serve with a brown sauce seasoned with a dash of lemon juice. Serve with hot boiled rice. Music, when soft voices die, Vibrates in the memory; Odors, when sweet violets sicken, Live within the sense they quicken. Rose leaves, when the rose is dead, Are heap'd for the beloved's bed, And so thy thoughts when thou art gone SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. Cottage cheese may be used in so many dainty dishes that it should be more generally appreciated. It is especially attractive when piped on open sandwiches. Press the cheese through the potato ricer or vegetable press, season to taste with salt, paprika, cayenne and mustard. Beat in heavy cream, adding ated. It is especially attractive when piped on open sandwiches. Press the cheese through the potato ricer or vegetable press, season to taste with salt, paprika, cayenne and mustard. Beat in heavy cream, adding an equal quantity of cream, and press through the pastry tube on the sandwiches, which have been spread with apple marmalade or other fruit such as chopped cherries, prunes or baked apple. Romaine Date and Cottage Cheese Salad.—Roll cottage cheese into balls; roll the balls in chopped nuts, using pecans, walnuts or peanuts. Pour boiling water over a package of dates and drain, then dry in the oven. Cut the dates in quarters, lengthwise, removing the stones. Chill dates and cheese balls. Arrange leaves of lettuce on a serving dish, set the dates in the center and the cheese balls around them. Serve with French dressing. A good snappy cheese may be made into a delicious cream cheese. Take one and one-half cupfuls of dry grated cheese and stir it into one cupful of boiling sweet cream. Remove from heat as soon as the cheese is melted, pour into a jar to cool, and serve from the jar. Cayenne, paprika, onion juice or pimentes put through a sieve may be added to the hot mixture before pouring into the mold. Spanish Cream.—Dissolve one tablespoonful of gelatine in one-fourth of a cupful of cold water, then add to one-half cupful of scalded milk. Scald two cupfuls of milk in a double boiler, beat two egg yolks and add one-third of a cupful of sugar and one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt; gradually add the hot milk, return to the double boiler and cook until slightly thickened, add the gelatine mixture flavoring and the two egg whites beaten stiff, folded in lightly. Turn at once into a mold and the cream will settle into three layers. Serve with sugar and cream or sugared strawberries.

I THE versatile mode presents us with conflicting silhouettes in suits and a variety of styles to choose from, and leaves us to pronounce our own judgment on them. The straight and the flaring box-coat seem destined to a great success; they are developed with many ingenious variations in lines and trimmings, and have a youthfulness of style that is a great asset. But the box coat has rivals that boast the charm of novelty, in suits that have rippling peplums on their coats, and in others that have the appearance of frocks. A few things are assured; among then the success of the flaring coat sleeve on box coats, the continued use of embroidery, the vogue of slender lines and straight skirts. Two suits very different from each other in outline, invite comparison, in the picture above. One has a straight box coat and the other a coat with a rippling peplum. The first suit will To Spice Up the Wardrobe UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD HATS have long been conceded the place of first importance in the matter of smart dressing—they do wonders for those who know how to select them—but up-to-date women are inclined to dispute this supremacy. Blouses, smocks and small cateees or jackets that will dress one up to any degree of formality are making things interesting for millinery. These brilliant garments rival hats in gay beauty and are the most convenient of belongings, for they are not difficult to make, and they tone up the wardrobe without any great expenditure of time or money. A lovely example which may be classed as either a coattee or a smock appears in the illustration above. Blue and silver are combined in the supple tissue that makes a little cont posed over a blouse of filet net with vest of embroidered georgette and a girdle of blue velvet ribbon. This affair is equal to comparison with any of the brilliant headdresses and coifure ornaments that may bear it company at the theater or dance. It is find many admirers among women who are striving to achieve the appearance of slenderness, and the other will appeal to those who must make up for a lack of curves in figures a little too slender. The woman of normal weight does not have to concern herself with these things, but only to consider which style is most becoming. The suit at the left has a high waistline and is embellished with a little embroidery matching it in color. The coat has a single fastening at the bust line in link buttons, and they form the finish for the plain coat sleeve. The box coat employs silk braid, edged with a narrow plaiting of ribbon and bone buttons for decoration. A tie at the front of the collar provides a pretty new touch, and the sleeves are relieved from entire plainness by three buttons and buttonholes at the wrists. Neither of these suits accepts the flaring sleeve, but both adopt the straight skirt. only one of many fine blouses that may be toned down or toned up by the headwear that is worn with them. There are other accessories that splice up the toilette. There are mylar strings of beads in all colors—in crystal, ivory, onyx, gold, silver, pearl, and all sorts of mock jewels. There are chains and charms from China that cannot be overlooked and an endless variety of necklaces that add color or sparkle or interest to frocks. Bead girdles, and others made of beads and silk cord, find themselves conspicuously placed on afternoon and evening frocks. Fans have reappeared in many varieties to vle with those of ostrich feathers and more familiar accessories—neckwear and handkerchiefs—are growing more complicated with the introduction of color and variety of design.
