THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY HAYTIANS ASK UNITED STATES TO NEGRO LITERATURE IN NEGRO SCHOOLS WITHDRAW VOL. XXVII. NEW YORK, February 28.—H. Paulens, former Haytian minister to the United States, and Stenio Vincent, one time chairman of the Haytian Senate, arrived here yesterday to plead the cause of the Haytian people and to urge a congressional investigation of American occupation of the island. M. Sannon and M. Vincent charged that the court of inquiry sent to Haytii last autumn by Josephus Daniels, secretary of the navy, was a "humbug" and joke. The two Haytians say they come to the United States not as representatives of the Haytian government, but of the people. They come as the delegates of the Patriotic Union of Port au Prince to tell the American people just what the Marine Corps have done in the South Atlantic island and to ask that the military and naval forces be evacuated. M. Sannon and M. Vincent are stopping temporarily in the Union Square Hotel, but they will proceed to Washington to seek interviews with the leaders of both the House and the Senate. It is their intention, if possible, personally to lay the cause of the Haytian people before President-elect Harding after the inauguration. "We have come to the United States," M. Sannon said, "to say most emphatically that the naval court of inquiry presided over by Harry T. Mayo and sent by Mr. Daniels to Hayti was merely a comedy. The court went down there to make an appearance of investigation on two or three cases where some American officers were concerned. So the court called witnesses for evidence only in those cases. "It seems that things were prearranged. Everybody else was refused a hearing by the court. It did not matter that the same offender had other charges preferred against him. Take, for instance, the case of Lieut. Lang. He was charged with having shot several prisoners in the jail at Hincho. While the court was investigating these charges a notable Haytian wrote to the court that Lieut. Lang had hanged his brother at Mirebalais, but the court did not take up this charge." M. Sannon charges that the court never went near Mirebalais, Hinche or Las Cahobas, "where the reign of terror caused the most terrible damage in human life and property." The former minister says General Barnett, former head of the United States Marine Corps, was correct when he stated there had been indiscriminate killing Hayti. Tells of Tortures. Sannon added that tortures such as the water cure, hanging and electrocution "have been perpetrated on the peaceful people." He declared it would be interesting to know why the court of inquiry never left Port au Prince in the three weeks it remained on the island. M. Sannon said the Haytian people have suffered greatly during the Wilson administration because the President has made it a practice to send mostly Southerners, who have an inborn dislike for Negroes, to the island. Another thing to which M. Sannon took exception was the assertion made by Franklin D. Roosevelt during the recent campaign that he had written the Haytian constitution and had "made a pretty good job of it." What the Haytian people want, according to M. Sannon, is, first, immediate suppression of military courts; second, reorganization of the Haytian military and police forces, and the evacuation of the American forces of occupation, and thirdly, the convocation at the earliest possible moment of a constitutional assembly. JACK JOHNSON SAYS HE WILL TAKE 'EM ALL. Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 19.—Jack Johnson, once heavyweight champion of the world, is ready to re-enter the prize ring and threatens to make life miserable for Harry Wills, the giant of New Orleans, Jack Dempsey and Fulton. Although still confined in the Federal prison at Leavenworth, Kan., his time is almost up and the once great fighter has greatly improved in strength and health and claims he is a far better boxer than he ever was before. A letter was received from him by Al Lippe in this city recently, asking the recipient to become his manager. In the letter Johnson derided the present crop of heavyweights and stated that he is anxious to be matched with Wills, Fulton, Dempsey and any of the others. "I am going to furnish one big surprise when I get out and start boxing again," he wrote. BRISBANE SUGGESTS RACIAL AMALGAMATION. Chicago, Feb. 23.—Arthur Brisbane, the well-known editor and philosopher, is of the opinion that amalgamation is to be the final outcome of all racial difficulties, and that the last great race will be white, which he claims, should satisfy everyone. His opinion is: "The white men are going to rule the earth, because they are a little nearer to civilization than the other colors. Not brown men, or yellow men, or black men, or the hairy Alinus that once owned Japan, are destined to rule, Black, white, yellow and brown will disappear and go through their later incarnations in white skins. And that ought to suit them, just as it suits the white rulers now to be rid of the red hair, projecting jaws, and the great canine teeth that once marked them all." COULD NOT READ LETTER TELLING OF FINDING OIL. Man on Hunt of Twin Brother to Divide $36,000. Dayton, O., Feb. 22.—Falling heir to $36,000 as a result of finding oil on some ground in West Virginia, leased fifteen years ago for 50 cents, Russel Ikard has appealed to city legal adviser, C. L. Mills, to locate his twin brother so that he can share the fortune with him. The man claims that his father leased the ground there for them and that it has been held for fifteen years. Ikard recently received a letter from an oil company operating there that oil had been found on the place and an offer of $36,000 had been made for it. Ikard could not read the letter, so took it to Attorney Mills. He now wants to find his brother, from whom he has been separated for some time. Any information concerning his whereabouts should be sent to Attorney Mills. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MARCH 5 1921 Leading educators of both races in the South are interested in the plan of strengthening racial integrity by teaching Negro children something of the history and achievements of their own race. The main obstacle to such a course has been a lack of books suitable for school children of grammar grades. Harcourt, Brace & Howe have just published a book of this kind—the Upward Path—compiled by Mary White Ovington and Myron T. Pritchard, with an introduction by R. R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute. Fifty Negro authors are represented, with biographical notes of each. The quality and tone of the selections are excellent; and some of the names stand high with lovers of good literature. Dr. Kerlin, secretary of the Virginia Society for the Study of Education, says of the book: "It's use in Negro schools would greatly contribute to the development of that character in the Negro which we of the white race have so often expressed a desire to see. It is to be hoped that state boards of education will take this view of the matter, and will place this reader in the hands of colored school children as a prescribed book. It would be an act of justice as well as of grace that would do much toward promoting inter-racial good-will." The North Carolina department of education has put one book of Negro authorship—Up From Slavery, by Booker T. Washington—on the list of books recommended for reading by high school students of both races. A class in a white high school felt, on reading it, that they had gained a broader and more sympathetic view of Negro life. Both this book and Dr. Moton's autobiography, "Finding a Way Out," will promote good understanding between the races. Negro students need such books for the kinding of worthy racial ideals. White students would find in them, beyond this racial quality, that broader appeal to the common human basis of all racial life which must be understood before inter-racial peace can be assured. N. A. A. C. P. NOW OPEN DRIVE FOR 250.000 MEMBERS N. A. A. C. P. NOW OPEN DRIVE FOR 250.000 MEMBERS Entire Country Covered by Heads of Association Slogan: A Quarter of a Million, a Force That Cannot Be Ignored. THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today announced the opening of its drive for a quarter of a million members, the greatest massing of colored people and their white friends against discrimination ever seen in the United States. The heads of the association and the executive officers are distributed among the various states and sections and the drive is beginning simultaneously everywhere with local mass meetings. In the South Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis magazine, and William Pickens, former dean of Morgan College and now field secretary of the association, are getting the drive under way. In the Middle West, James Weldon Johnson, the national secretary, and Walter F. White, assistant secretary, together with Mrs. A. W. Hunton, are addressing meetings and responding to the calls for organization among colored people. In the Far West, Mary White Ovipton, chairman of the board of directors, is on lecture tour and will devote her efforts especially to the work in California. The executive work in the national office in New York is in charge of the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, formerly of Detroit, who has become director of branches of the association. Every means is being used in the drive to make it known to the public. Publicity committees are being formed to keep in touch with local newspapers, white and colored. Automobile committees are formed and members are to be canvassed by telephone. The local drives are in charge of colonels, who appoint their majors, captains and lieutenants where the population is large enough to warrant. In branches of over a thousand there is to be an additional major for each additional thousand members, and the majors appoint their subordinate officers. Roughly, the captains are responsible for 100 members and the lieutenants for ten members. Constant mass meetings everywhere in the country are to be held in the progress of the drive and the national office is to receive reports of the growth of membership. Reports will be sent out from the national office at short intervals announcing the status of the campaign. In addition to the motor squadrons which will consist of automobile owners willing to furnish transportation in the drive, there is to be a speakers' bureau which will co-operate with churches and other public bodies in furnishing speakers. In connection with the drive for a quarter of a million members, the N. A. A. C. P. announces the following program: 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 1,000,000 bona fide signers, collected by the various branches, requesting the pardon of the soldiers of the 24th infantry imprisoned at Leavenworth on the charge of rioting at Houston, Texas. 6. 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 words, as servants. 8. APPOINTMENT OF A NATIONAL INTER-RACIAL COMMISSION to make an earnest study of race conditions and race relations in the United States. 9. APPOINTMENT OF COLORED ASSISTANT 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. 10. CONTINUANCE OF THE FIGHT IN THE ARKANSAS CASES. 11. THE SUCCESSFUL HOLDING OF THE SECOND PAN-AFRICAN CONGRESS that the colored peoples of the world may gain a mutual understanding of their common problems. 12.

NEWS 'Honor to Crispus Attucks, who was leader and voice that day; The first to defy and the first to die, Maryland, Gray and Gray. His feet were first in perilous place to pull the King's flag down; His breast was the first one rent apart that liberty's stream might flow; For our freedom now and forever, his head was the first laid low." "And so, must we come to the learning of Boston's lesson today; The moral that Crispus Attucks taught in the old heroic way; God made mankind to be one in blood, as one in spirit and thought ; And so great a boon, by a brave man's death, is never dearly bought." March 5th is the anniversary of the death of Crispus Attucks. From the Historical Research, by George Livermore, Mass. Hist. Society, note the following: The Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770, may be regarded as the first act in the drama of the American Revolution. "From that moment," said Daniel Webster, "we may date the severance of the British Empire." The presence of the British soldiers in King street excited the patriotic indignation of the people. Led by Crispus Attucks, the mulatto slave, and shouting, "The way to get rid of these soldiers it to attack the main guard; strike at the root; this is the nest." With more valor than discretion, they rushed to King street and were fired upon by Captain Preston's company. Crispus Attucks was the first to fall. He and Samuel Gray and Jones Cladwell were killed on the spot, Samuel Maverick and Patrick Carr were mortally wounded. During the recent visit of Mrs. G. G. Ross, president of the Colorado Women's Club, a delightful luncheon was given in her honor at the home of Mrs. James Smith. Covers were laid for six. This was one of the swellest luncheons of the season, and was heartily enjoyed by those present. On the afternoon of Feb. 17th, Mrs. Henry McCormack entertained the Searchlight Club. Mrs. Ross was the honored guest. Mrs. Smith and Mrs. McCormack are unsurpassed in gracious hospitality. 'On Thursday evening, March 10th, Mr. Frank Price will address the Civic League and friends. Mr. Price is an interesting speaker and wit abounds in every sentence. Mr. Will Summerfield was held up by two holdup men, soldiers from Fort Russell. He grappled with the gunman who emptied his gun during the fight and ran. Policemen heard shots and assisted by Mr. Summerfield succeeded in capturing the thugs who were hiding in railroad yards. This is the second brace of thugs our group has caused to be caught. Cheyenne colored men will not stand to be "frisked." On Monday evening the A, M. E. Church Improvement Club gave an entertainment and social by the "Old Folk." Songs, dialogues and monologues were features of the evening. Especial mention is made of recitations from Dunbar by Mrs. Daisy Thompson. Songs by a trio composed of Messrs. Smith, Stemmons and Mossa. Mission scene by Mrs. Ida Anderson and James Gaskins. In fact the company was composed of all-stars. We hope to see them again. Mrs. Beulah Caldera entertained friends at a party on Monday evening. Mr. Theodore Brown and sister Hattie entertained the Silver Boy Social Club on Wednesday evening, Feb. 23rd. NO 21 GEORGIA ATTY. STARTLES WITH FEARLESS WORDS ON RACE MURDER A TLANTA, GA. - Probably the most startling statement ever is- most startling statement ever is sued by any public official in the South came recently from District Attorney Alexander Hooper. It is remarkable both for its fearlessness and suggestiveness. It deals with the terrible state of affairs in lawless regions of Georgia and "in the name of a just and righteous God," he declares, "I solemnly protest before the people of Georgia." Says the statement: "What I said in the papers Thursday about the mistreatment of Negroes in Georgia was a mild statement of the facts. In three separate matters that have been brought to my attention since that day, my complaint has been illustrated and emphasized. In one of them greed for a Negro's labor is charged to have resulted in a cold-blooded and atrocious murder. "I do not speak of this positively, however, as yet, because in that particular case, while I am giving a careful investigation made, the official report is not yet in hand. I wish to call attention, however, to a complaint made to me yesterday, and the circumstances of it and principally in the hope the publicity may prevent a threatened crime. Five Negroes, all apparently well behaved and industrious farmers, each working his own little farm, within thirty miles of Atlanta, have been warned by night riders to leave the neighborhood. They come to appeal to me for protection. They have been to the governor's office but as he was not in, a secretary referred them to me. I can, of course, do nothing. There is no violation of the federal laws in what is threatened. "The circumstances of the case and matters which have heretofore come to my knowledge in the same locality, lead me to entertain the belief that, in this particular case, the underlying purpose is to force the Negroes to sell and sacrifice their little homes. "I was much mortified in being compelled to say that it was out of my power to extend them any protection. But I was far more deeply mortified in not being able to answer this question when they came back, after conference to solemnly and seriously propound: "Well, we have our wives and our children and our homes. If the night riders carry out their threats and come back to attack us, what do you advise us to do? "As an officer of the United States I could not answer that question. The government cannot legislate in such cases, and has not attempted to do so. The offense is against the laws of the state. I cannot meddle in it. But, I believe my state and I are humiliated. As an individual I know what I would do. But if I advised these Negroes so, I know the consequences that would follow to them, and I was and I am humiliated beyond expression, because I could do nothing but advise them to go to the sheriff and ask protection. "The people of Georgia have no conception of the meanness and cruelty with which helpless Negroes are being treated. I wish I could make the state to see and know the horrible things that are being done and which come to my knowledge almost dally. "In the name of a just and righteous God I solemnly protest before the people of Georgia."

Loans and discounts were $219,904,440,99, compared with $211,091,505.08 a year previous.

HARDING'S INAUGURAL ADDRESS STRENGTHENS AMERICAN TIES. “TS words coming from a man who fully rem7apon his as80- sibility placed upon him as head of the nation, upon his asso- ciates in the cabinet, and the carrying out of everything for the re- Storation of this nation to sound and lasting government policies by the people’s representatives, cannot fail to impress the inhabitants of this country, and must of necessity fall upon responsive hearts, Clear minds and unusual activities hastening the status quo ante: “Service is the supreme commitment of life. L would rejoice to acelaim the era of the golden rule and crown it with the autocracy of service. I pledge an administration wherein all the agencies of government are called to serve, and ever promote an understanding Sf government purely as an expression of the popular will. if I felt that there is to be sole responsibility in the exeeutive for the America of tomorrow, I should shrink from the burden. But here are a hundred millions, with common concern and shared responsi- bility, answerable to God and country. The republic summons them to their duty and I invite co-operation.” How can these words fall on dull ears and indifferent minds when the American life of today calls for strong men and great leadership? Have we to play a part in the government of ourselves by ourselves? Have we to offer any assistance in the restoring of the fundamental principles and institutions of our great American republic? If our answer is in the affirmative, then we must buckle bn our armour, gird up our loins and prepare to combat the forces that had almost overwhelmed us. In reading the whole text of the President’s address, one clearly sees that the recommendations are reasonable, the formulae to be adopted for treating international and national questions, as well as rescuing us from the evils that seem to beset us, are very practical; the requests to make America ‘a home to command the respect and attention of the world at large ean be granted by every American citizen, and these compel one to rejoice over the inauguration of such a character as the man and ‘American—WARREN G. HARDING. In quoting the closing words of the President, THE COLORADO STATESMAN, Republican in politics, but with Negro racial pride to the core, which comes first in its public dealings, offers best wishes for a successful administration and will ever keep prominent- ly before the people the spirit and the mind from which these words emanate: “Laccept my part with single-mindedness of purpose and humility of spirit, and implore the favor and guidance of God in His heaven. With these I am afraid, and confidently face the future. I have taken the solemn oath of office on that passage of Holy Writ, wherein it is asked, ‘What doth the Lord require of thee but to do justly, and to love merey, and walk humbly with thy God." THIS | PLIGHT TO GOD AND COUNTRY.” ‘And we say, may the President ever be mindful of this wonder- ful message which he has given to a people, to a nation, who at a critical period of their existence, demonstrated their confidence in him and acclaimed their leader for the ensuing four years. “MAY HE KEEP STEADFAST,”’ is our earnest prayer. MR. HARDING INAUGURATED. AT LAST the country is once more in the hands of the Republicans. A ‘After eight long years of the one-man power government the people be- Qume tired and nauseated and determined to return to a sane and sound government basis by such an unparalleled majority that it looked like a po- litical revolt against the Democratic party. Woodrow Wilson was first elected President of the United States because of a serious split in the Republican party, When he was elected for the sec- ond term the country was at war, so to speak, and yet Mr, Wilson was elected ‘on the plea that he kept us out of war, Both times he was favored by un- precedented circumstances, and yet, with all his purported political genius, he literally scuttled the Democratic party and left it stranded upon the sands of time, We can safely say that the country has never had a chief executive Who was more autocratic, domineering and prejudiced than was Woodrow Wilson, No one would have need to ever read his biography to learn of his birth place and ancestry. A perusal of his acts as President would be suffi- Gent to determine not only his birth place but his political faith as well, Some men may call him great, but he will never approach such men as Me- Kinley and Roosevelt, and to compare him with Lincoln would be aknost 1 sacrilege, But why dwell on a man who is no more? Let us forget him. He had his opportunity and lost it by his obstinateness and narrow prejudices. He made more mistakes than any other President the country has ever lind, yet he was litterally worshiped by thousands of the most pecullar people in Jit the world and that too when he didn't care a snap for the poor misguided souls who worshiped and praised him, ‘The country welcomes Mr. Harding as its new President. What a re- freshing change from Wilson to Harding, Our next President, free from all the glamor and yain clamor that possessed his predecessor, steps into the “White House” as a plain, honest, simple American citizen, free from all that meaningless, elegant speech which kept the country guessing. For the next four years the country will have @ man as President who, when he speaks, they can clearly understand and faithfully belleve what he says in his pure, plain, straight-forward manner. He comes to us without prejudice or nar rowness, but with that great, broad spirit of heart and feeling as the Presi dent of ALL THE PEOPLE, He knows no north, nor south, no east, nor west fas a section of the country to be favored above another. He is the hope of our country and he has the confidence of the entire nation. His cabinet se- jections haye met the unanimous approval of the people. ‘They are all men of the highest caliber and training, and each man selected seems to have es- pecial qualifications for the honor conferred upon him. President Harding ‘was exceedingly fortunite in having such a fayorable field from which to select his cabinet. ‘The most remarkable and oxiginal idea that hus ever been introduced by any President, was when President Harding announced that he desired to in- Vite the vice president to sit in his cabinet meetings, That is as it should he, and we are proud that the country has produced one of the ablest and most fearless statesmen of the age, in the person of Mr, Coolidge. As gov- ‘ror of the great state of Massachusetts he carved a name for himself that Will be a credit to his state. By his election to the vice presidency of the na- tion he brings honor and distinction to the position. Often the vice president is soon forgotten and seldom spoken of except when he actually appears. But awe opine that the country will hear from Mr. Coolidge and what he will have to say will be most interesting and convincing. “There Is a Lobby on All Sides of Every Bill Before Congress.” By SENATOR WILLIAM 8. KENYON of Iowa. | ‘There is a Igbby on all sides of every bill before congress, ‘To correct this evil and to define and pun- ish lobbying I introduced « bill which by its pitiless . Ay dlicity ought to set our legislative program free =,” from the influence of agents hired to promote or op- ‘ pose legislation in the national congress. I would suggest as a remedy that a “legislation docket” be provided both the clerk of the house and secretary of the senate wherein the lobbyist must reg- ister his name, address, the address of his employer, £- \ 3 his business and the legislative matters concerning which the agent has been appointed. I would add that no person who ever has been a mem- ber of either house of congress shall act as such legislative agent. I do not know where this lobbying business is going to stop. No- body wants cougress to be shut off here on the hill and have people unable to get to congress, It is reaching a point nowadays, however, where con- gress is swarming with lobbies of every kind and description, both good and bad, ‘The general practice of law is coming to be synonymous with “gen- eral lobbying.” Men go out of the senate and men go out of the house and join up with these lobbies, and there is going to be more of it in the days to come. You cannot go to your office, you cannot get through the cor ridors without having some of these lobbyists talk to you about bills in congress. ‘The discussion of tariff measures and reforms in the taxation laws has brought on a stream of new arrivals, and we ought to be protected against this handicap during the next session of congress. Now, if we knew people doing the lobbying, whom they represent and what they are receiving in the way of fees, we would know when o whether they were interested for the public good or just for the good-sized ‘elavy: For a Better Understanding Among the Racial Groups of Immigrants.

Surrender of Educational Control by States to Federal Government. By PRESIDENT DAVID KINLEY, University of Mlinois.

The federal government a dollar from Illinois, returns perhaps 20 cents of it on condition Illinois will furnish another 20 cents, and then permits the agents e federal government a thousand miles away to tell her what to teach hildren, and how to teach it.

NOME: A CITY THAT HIBERNATES Nome, Alaska, in recent years has been a city that dwindles in winter to a population of but a few hundred, and spring has brought a lessening return of residents. Thus this remote mining camp, after a meteoric career and growth into a city, gradually is resuming the status of a town. Stunted on the bleak north coast of the ice storm-swept Bering sen, close to the Arctic circle, Nome is frozen in and snowed in for about seven months of the year. Its chief industry, placer gold mining, depends upon the use of running water, therefore the activities must stop when the water congeals. Rather than spend the long winter in the extreme cold, waiting for the return of mild weather, a large part of the population of Nome has always returned to the States in the fall, making the journey back to the north in June, when navigation opens. The over-night creature of an unusual gold discovery, the town grew up on a site that probably could not have been worse fitted for a community of human habitation. It is open to the full sweep of the violent storms and the heavy waves that often beat in from the sea. It has a relatively narrow beach and immediately within is a strip of tundra, frozen solid in winter, but a sea of mud during the open season. In this morass the town grew up. In the early days men and animals floundered through streets that were knee-deep in mud. Later the principal thoroughfares were boarded over. Each summer foolhardy newcomers built structures on the beach only to have them wholly destroyed by the blasts of September when, almost without warning, huge waves swept to the edge of the tundra and often into the town itself. Gold was first discovered near Nome in 1808, in one of the numerous creeks that rise in the hills back of the town A man stands in front of a large pile of earth, with a large metal frame above it. The earth is covered in a layer of rocks and debris. Getting Gold Out of Gravel. and cross the tundra to the sea. This discovery was widely heralded through Alaska and the western states. Thousands flocked to the neighborhood in the summer of 1890 and the town was born. That season the remarkable discovery was made that the sand of the beach at the edge of the town was rich in gold, and thousands of prospectors with crude equipment took out respectable fortunes. The beach could not be filed upon, but anyone was permitted to dig there. This unique feature of the Nome gold fields drew more than 20,000 people to the region the following summer, and the town grew into a thriving city. Placer miners burrowed into the sand like moles for 30 miles or more up and down the beach. None took its name from Cape Nome nearby, which was named as the result of a misunderstanding. It means nothing unless it can be construed to signify "the nameless." It was discovered in the examination of an early chart that when the physical features of northwestern Alaska were named one cape had been overlooked. The penciled query "name?" was made beside it. A copyst translated the scrawled question as "Nome," and the name has stuck. MEXICO'S SKYSCRAPER PYRAMID A pyramid that may rival those of Egypt, for size, and prove to be even older than the Nilesian piles, recently was found at Teothiuacan, Mexico. Long ago two other pyramids, relics of the Toltec people of pre-Columbian times, were discovered among the volcanic ashes around San Juan Teothiuacan, meaning "City of the Gods," a village about 25 miles northeast of Mexico City. Excavation of the new pyramid may help to lift the veil which dims our knowledge of these American pyramid-builders, members of a bygone race. Certain it is that the pyramids of Teothiuacan, which already are widely known, have kept their heads above the vomiting of angry volcanoes for numberless centuries, while it would appear that the cities nearby were without doubt buried in those bygone ages by volcanic eruptions. The Toltecs were by tradition famous mound-builders, and here it seems they mingled with their reverence for the Supreme Being the mythical religion of astral worship. Their earliest temples were devoted to the sun. The moon they worshiped as his wife and the stars as his sisters. No image was allowed within these temples, and their offerings were perfumed flowers and sweet-scented gums. The projecting stones of "El Sol," the highest pyramid, seen here and there over the pyramid, mark the upward progress of those indefatigable workers until they gained the summit of their ambition. The pyramid was divided into stories by placing a series of truncated pyramids one above the other. Two hundred and sixty-eight must be climbed to reach the summit. The pyramid is 216 feet in height, and has a base about 761 feet square. The summit is 59 by 105 feet square. Many strange idols have been dug up. Beautiful pieces of jade and obsidian, arrow-heads, little heads of burnt clay, earthen jars of antique form, and others similar to those in use at the present time were found. One little piece of cloth that was found is carefully guarded in the museum. What was its use? Many skulls, as well as some skeletons, have also been unarmed. THE DARDANELLES Provision has been made for an international force along the Dardanelles to guarantee free passage to ships of all nations through the straits and the Sea of Marmora. Even our own Mississippi or Pennsylvania some day may rest at anchor in this deep, swift strait, 37 miles in length, between the goose-neck peninsula of Gallipoll and the mainland of Turkey, or steam into the Sea of Marmo.a and thence to the Bosphorus, for the American jackles to "Oh!" and "Ah!" at the mosques and minarets of Constantinople in the distance. Mention of the Dardnelles conjures before the American mind the story of a fierce and interest-compelling fight in 1915 and 1916 and a history which trails back into dim mythological times when Leander swam across its three-fourths mile width at Abydos every night to tell the "same old story" to Hero, who hung her light out to inform him she wanted to hear it. Lord Byron, not to be outdone as a swimmer by his predecessor, "did" the Hellespont in 1810. Though it was regarded as rather a prodigious fent when these two accomplished it, many modern athletes could don their trunks and visit their lady loves and regard the effort as a part of their training to keep physically fit. Xerxes, in 480 B. C., having an uncanny feeling that his thousands of Persians were not Billingtons and Kellermans, lashed boats together as a bridgeway, which Herodotus tells us graned for seven days and nights, during the unloading of Aslatics on the soil of Europe. Alexander the Great, about 100 years later, before he was reduced to tears at the failure of the world to provide him excitement, tried out the thrill of Xerxes by leading his Macedonians into Asia. The approach by which the American soldier and sailor will enter Constantinople may well be likened to the entrance to a dwelling house—the Dardanelles being the outside or storm door, the Sea of Marmora the vestibule, and the Bosphorus the inner door. This storm door, which is about the width of the Hudson river, is commanded by the Dardanelles castles built by Mohammed II in 1470. One fort is on the European side and one on the Aslatic. Many guide books published before 1914 carried this ominous and prophetic sentence: "The castles on both sides have been lately restored and armed with Krupp guns." According to the treaty of July, 1841, and the Paris peace of 1856, no foreign ship of war was allowed to enter the strait without the permission of Turkey, and merchant vessels only during the daytime. On the Aslatic side a short distance from the fort lies the town of Dardanelles, which was named for Dardanus, the mythological ancestor of the Trojan king, Aeneas, and hence of the Roman people. This city of 15,000 inhabitants, situated prettily on a fertile stretch of land, is the point from which most of the excursionists start for the plains of Troy, a short distance beyond. Here, too, ships must stop to show their papers, the number of merchant vessels alone during a single year numbering more than 12,000. Across on the European side is Gallipoll or "beautiful town." It was the first European town to be captured by the Turks in 1357. Superbly located on the steep projecting coast of the Gallipoll peninsula, it commands a view of the Asiatic side—the plains of Troy and the broken foot-hills of Mount Ida. On this narrow peninsula in April, 1915, allied forces were landed in an attempt to capture the Dardanelles. When the floods drove the British soldiers from their trenches like rats out of holes Turkish snipers on the hills above picked them off almost as fast as they appeared. The campaign was abandoned in January, 1910. WHERE PEARL BUTTONS COME FROM One frequently must follow a long trail to strange places to find the origin of the most common conveniences of our home, wardrobe, or dinner table. For example, pearl buttons are de- pendent upon preservation of certain Mississippi river fish. This economic curiosity is explained in a communication to the National Geographic society by Hugh M. Smith, as follows: "The perpetuation of the fish supply in the Mississippi and its tributaries involves a very important industry besides fishing. Investigations conducted for the bureau of fisheries years ago showed an intimate relation between certain kinds of fishes and the mussels, which yield valuable pearls and support a pearl-button industry which gives employment to about 20,000 persons, and has a product worth from $5,000,000 to $6,000,-000 annually. "The young mussels, of microscopic size when thrown off by their parents in myriads, need to pass the first few weeks of their independent existence on the gills of fish. If the fishes are not present at the proper time, the mussels cannot survive. Furthermore—and this is a most interesting feature of the co-operation of fishes and mussels—the young of particular kinds of mussels require the gills of particular kinds of fishes as nurseries. "The black bass is host for several sorts of mussels, the crappies for several others, the catfish for others. The skip-jack, a kind of herring, is the only known host for the best of all mussels; and as this fish is not by any means abundant, its maintenance is of prime importance to the welfare of the button industry. In 1919 more than one and a half million skip-jacks were rescued. "The peculiar requirements of the young mussels having been carefully determined, the bureau of fisheries has gone extensively into the business of artificial propagation of pearly mussels by a method which is a vast improvement on nature. The spawning mussels, held in ponds, are at the critical period provided with the special fishes needed for the attachment of the young. "The fishes obtained in the rescue operations are turned into the ponds at the time the mussels are spawning and become thickly inoculated. They are then liberated in the open water and distribute themselves and the mussels throughout a wide stretch of river. Thus two important branches of the bureau's work go hand in hand." RUSSIA: THE HEIRESS OF FAMINES Never, in civilized times, have so many old-world nations felt the pinch of hunger at once; yet suffering from want of food is no new story to many of them. Especially has Russia been the luckless heir to periods of near starvation. Writing to the National Geographic society, Ralph A. Graves tells of Russian famines of the past as follows: "Next to the proletariat of India and China, the Russian peasant has felt the pinch of poverty and hunger more keenly and more frequently than any other citizen on earth. "One of the earliest famines in Russia of which there is any definite record was that of 1600, which continued for three years, with a death toll of 500,000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats were eaten; the strong overcame the weak, and in the shambles of the public markets human flesh was sold. Multitudes of the dead were found with their mouths stuffed with straw. "Three Russian famines of comparatively recent date were among the most severe in the history of the country. They occurred in 1891, 1906 and 1911. During the ten years following the first of these periods of dearth the government allotted nearly $125,000,000 for relief work, but the sums were not always judiciously expended. "In 1906 the government gave 40 pounds of flour a month to all persons under eighteen and over fifty-nine years of age. All peasants between those ages and infants under one year of age received no allowance, and it became necessary for the younger and older members of the family to share their bare pittance with those for whom no provision was made. The suffering was intense and the mortality exceedingly heavy, but the available statistics are not wholly reliable. "The famine of 1911 extended over one-third of the area of the empire in Europe and affected more or less directly 30,000,000 people, while 8,000,-000 were reduced to starvation. Weeds, the bark of trees, and bitter bread made from acorns constituted the chief diet for the destitute. This was unquestionably the most widespread and most severe famine that has befallen a European nation in modern times. Electric Irrigation. Wholesale generation and distribution of electric current for the special purpose of irrigation, as it is generated and distributed elsewhere for light and power, is an unusual and interesting project recently undertaken in Queensland, Australia, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The method employed is to sink a large well on each holding of land and install an electrically driven pump. There are in excess of 160 of these well pumps and some 13 miles of transmission lines radiate from the central station to supply them. For the wells, precast re-enforced concrete cylinders, 5 to 7 feet in diameter, 8 feet long, and weighing $2\frac{1}{2}$ to 3 tons, are lowered from 16 to 40 feet to the water-bearing stratum.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS UP-TO-DATE REPORT OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE AT THE STATE CAPITOL. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Only amendments by which mountainous and other regions of the state where the natural products are plantiful will be eliminated from the provisions will serve to effect easy passage for three Senate bills relating to the cutting and sale of Christmas trees, and columbines. Senate Bill 265 by Senators Golding Fairfield and Hugh R. Sleeve would require a $5 license to sell Christmas trees and would restrict cutting evergreens for such uses. Senate Bill 371 by these senators and Senator W. W. Booth would make the columbine the state emblem and fix penalties for wasteful picking and promiscuous sale of the flower. These two measures and Senate Bill 266 by Senators Fairfield and Steele are being supported by the Colorado Mountain Club. No. 266 would empower the governor to establish so-called "protected areas" in the state as he sees fit to guard wild plant and animal life. All three bills are under consideration by the Senate horticultural committee, of which Senator George E. Colgate of Cañon City is chairman. Members of this committee are not agreed on the proposals. The committee has not voted yet on the question of reporting out the bills. Four Senate bills were reported out on special orders for the calendar by Senator Knaus, chairman of the steering-calendar committee. Among them is No. 223 by Senators John Dickinson and Charles I. Colwell to create a new highway department, consisting of a commission, a commissioner and assistants. This is the first highway bill to be reported out in either house, and extended debate is expected whenever it is brought up for second reading. Governor Shoup has recommended abolition of the present commission form and creation of a department with a single head. Changes in the highway law also were pledged in the Republican state platform. Thirty-one votes were cast in the Senate following an executive session for the confirmation of six of the governor's appointments. The appointments confirmed were: Mrs. Ella S. Williams, Denver, reappointed to the State Board of Charities and Corrections; the Rev. William O'Ryan, Denver, named for the same board; Frank P. Lannon, Pueblo, reappointed to the State Public Utilities Commission; C.W. Hall, Denver, reappointed to the board of control for the Industrial Workshop for the Blind; Alva A. Swain, Denver, appointed to the State Board of Corrections and the Industrial School for Boys at Golden; Ray Baxter, appointed as public trustee for Larmer county. Senator W. W. King's bill to abolish existing right of deputy game wardens on regular salaries to receive a share of court fines in game law violation cases went through on third reading, as did also Senator Jones' bill to broaden the coal mine inspection law. The Senate took similar action on Representatives John C. Vroman, Jr., and W. B. Gordon's bill to make unlawful unauthorized wearing of badges or other insignia of the Grand Army of the Republic, other patriotic and secret organizations. Senate Bill 74, by Senator Golding Fairfield and Knaus, to increase to ten years the minimum sentence for robbery with a dangerous weapon and otherwise stiffening the robbery statute, was passed on third reading. The same action was taken on these senators' bill to regulate the issuance of local improvement bonds. House Bill 622, by Representative John J. Vandemoer, was passed on second reading. It would permit drainage district bonds to be sold at less than the 95 per cent of full value, the present restriction; they could bear more than the present maximum of 6 per cent interest, up to 8 per cent, and the county assessors of all counties would be required to make the annual valuation for them as part of their regular duties. House Bill 39, by Representative Minnie C. T. Love; House Bill 221, by Representative Carlos W. Hall, and House Bill 544, by Representative A. M. Wilson, were passed on second reading. They provide respectively for appropriations for the State Home for Dependent and Neglected Children, $120,000; for the State Industrial School for Girls and for the relief of John Gray, $427. The House of Representatives passed on third reading those, appropriating part of the mill levy for educational purposes voted at the last election to the University of Colorado, the Normal School at Gunnison and for the extension department of the State Agricultural College. Senator N. C. Warren's bill to create a game preserve in Larimer county and a revision bill to repeal chapter 17 of the session laws of 1908 was passed on second reading. The latter repeals a statute authorizing payment of bounties on wild animals killed, and granting counties the right to make tax levies for such purpose. Senators Warren and Peterson introduced a memorial asking Congress to indorse a fixed and permanent policy of reclamation for the Southwest, crop values of which, the memorial said, are $80,000,000 annually WILSON VETOED TARIFF MEASURE FORDNEY TARIFF BILL IS SENT BACK TO HOUSE WITHOUT APPROVAL. MANY BILLS SIGNED WILSON SIGNED BILL REPEALING ALL WAR MEASURES AS LAST ACT. ( Western Newspaper Union News Service. ) Washington, March 4.—Efforts to override President Wilson's veto of the Fordney emergency tariff bill failed in the House, and the measure, originally designed to aid the farmers thereby met its death. The vote on the motion to pass the measure over the President's veto was 201 for and 132 against. This was 21 votes less than the necessary two-thirds. The veto was called up and voted on without discussion. There was little expectation among Republicans that they could round up the two-thirds vote necessary to override the veto, and it was for this reason that some leaders had urged Chairman Fordney of the ways and means committee to let it lie on the table without action. In vetoting the measure, President Wilson said that the situation "in which many of the farmers find themselves cannot be remedied by a measure of this sort," and that "there is no short way out of existing conditions." Actual relief for the farmers, the President asserted, could only come from the adoption of constructive measures of a broader scope, from the restoration of peace everywhere in the world, the resumption of normal industrial pursuits, the recovery particularly of Europe and the discovery there of additional credit foundation. The President remarked that it was not a little singular that a measure "which strikes a blow at our foreign trade should follow so closely upon the action of Congress directing the resumption of certain activities of the war finance corporation, especially the urgent insistence of representatives of the farming interests, who believe its resumption would improve foreign marketing." Signature by President Wilson of the resolution to repeal virtually all the war-time laws was announced before he retired from office. The President also approved four additional appropriation measures—the Indian, legislative, executive and judicial, agricultural and fortifications bills. The army bill was the only appropriation measure before him. The President also disposed of a number of miscellaneous legislative measures, including the bill to extend for twenty-five years the oil leases held by the Osage Indians; the bill extending the time permitted foreigners to file patents in the United States and the amendment to the water power act, exempting national parks from water leases and privileges. The war law repeal resolution repeals practically all of the laws enacted during the war as strictly emergency measures. Congress Passed 400 Bills. Washington—During the Sixty-sixth Congress more than 23,000 bills and resolutions were introduced and a few more than 400 passed, according to figures compiled. In the House 17,293 bills and resolutions were introduced, while the number in the Senate was 5,784. Packing House Burned. East St. Louis, Ill.—The building housing the killing and casing rooms of Morris and Company, packers, at National Stock Yards north of here, was destroyed by fire. Officials estimated the loss at $500,000. It is believed the fire was caused by crossed electric wires. About 2,000 men will be thrown out of employment by the fire, it was said. Would Bar Governors from Senate. Would Bar Governor from Senate. Austin, Texas.—A bill has been introduced in the House providing that any person who has heretofore held the office of governor of Texas, or who may hereafter hold that office, shall be illegible to hold the office of United States senator from Texas. Argentina Threatens Boycott. Buenos Aires.—Argentina cannot continue to buy United States products if the United States ceases to be a customer of Argentina, "us must happen in case the Fordney emergency tariff bill becomes operative," says La Razon. Ship Rescued After Thirty-three Days. New York.—Thirty-three days at sea in a storm-tossed, leaking and partly dismasted twenty-six-ton yawl, ending with rescue by an ocean liner 180 miles from the nearest port, was the experience of the 83-year-old Captain Gasield and his crew of six, brought here.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Everybody likes good potato chips. Their salty crispness makes them an enjoyable addition to the luncheon or dinner menu and provides a variation in the customary methods of serving potatoes at home. Their food value is high and they offer a valuable part of last year's large potato crop. fat may be selected, it must be in condition. i. e., light-colored and from all objectionable odors and vors. Peel large, smooth Irish potatoes moving all eyes and diseased s. Slice as described above. Soak s. in cold water for at least an h changing the water frequently until it is entirely free from starch. Not all potatoes make good chips, say food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, and the excellence of the finished product depends on the materials used and the care exercised in their preparation. New potatoes in the spring or early summer do not make good chips. They should not be used before the skin sets. A waxy or soggy potato is not good chip material. Select a variety that becomes mealy when baked or boiled. Round Potatoes Are Best. Although the size and shape of the potato do not affect its cooking quality, they do influence the quantity and appearance of the chips. Round potatoes are better than long ones, as there is less waste in peeling, especially if a vegetable peeler is used. Deep eyes are objectionable because of the difficulty of paring and the waste involved, and because they make ragged-looking slices. The equipment necessary is simple and inexpensive. Some form of a vegetable slicer is essential, as it is impossible to slice the peeled potatoes thin and even enough by hand. The slices should be one-sixteenth inch thick and should be even, if they are to cook uniformly. The best vessel in which to fry the chips is one that is deep rather than wide, with a perforated basket in which the chips can be lowered and raised. Potato chips may be fried in a variety of fats, but for a number of reasons the vegetable fats are preferable to the animal fats. Whatever WAYS FOR UTILIZING LEFT-OVER CEREALS WAYS FOR UTILIZING LEFT-OVER CEREALS Housekeeper Can Make Good Use of All Remnants. Splendid for Making Scalloped Dishes, Souffles and Omeletes, in Making Muffins and In Various Oth- What can be done with the cupful of cooked cereal left from breakfast? The economical housekeeper dislikes to throw it out, but how can she use it so that her family will like its second appearance at the family board? The following solutions of the problem are offered by the home economics specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Remnants of cereal breakfast foods may often be utilized in making scalloped dishes, souffles, and omelets, in thickening soups or gravies, in making muffins and griddle cakes, and in many other ways. Also they can sometimes be reheated or thinned and added to a new supply. The practice of frying the left-overs of boiled hominy or of cornmeal mush is as old as the settlement of this country, and the nursery song about the "bag pudding the queen did make" from King Arthur's barley meal shows us that for centuries other cereal puddings have been treated in the same way. In so-called "oatmeal oysters" small portions of the left-over cereal are dipped in eggs and crumbs and fried. The use of left-over rice and other cereals in croquettes, puddings, etc., is well known. Cold cooked farina or similar cereal may be utilized in the following way: Farina Pudding. 1 cupful cold, cooked ½ cupful seeded farina. 1 tablespoonful corn- ½ teaspoonful cln-starch. 1 egg. A speck of ground 1 cupful milk. cloves. 1-¾ cupful sugar. A little salt if desired. Bake in a medium oven until brown, or heat on top of the stove. Dried figs or dates or stewed fruit may be substituted for the raisins. Bolled rice and pearl barley are oft- fat may be selected, it must be in good condition, i. e., light-colored and free from all objectionable odors and flavors. Peel large, smooth Irish potatoes, removing all eyes and diseased spots. Slice as described above. Soak slices in cold water for at least an hour, changing the water frequently until it is entirely free from starch. Where running water is available, letting cold water run over the chips for an hour is preferable to soaking in standing water. Heat a high-grade of vegetable cooking oil to a little below smoking point (210 degrees C, or 410 degrees F, if you have a thermometer) Slices Should Be Dried. The kettle should not be much more than half full of oil, otherwise the water on the potatoes will sputter and boil over when dropped into the hot fat. The moisture on the slices must be evaporated before the potatoes can brown; it also lowers very appreciably the temperature of the fat. Therefore shake the soaked slices as dry as possible. When making chips in small quantities, it is possible to partially dry the slices between towels before placing them in the basket and lowering into the oil. Do not cook too many at a time, or they will curl into little balls. Stir constantly. They will cook quickly, the time required varying with the size of the kettle and the quantity of the oil and potatoes used. Three to five minutes is a good average. When the chips are light golden brown, raise the basket, drain off the surplus oil and empty them on clean brown paper. Sprinkle lightly with salt. If fresh sweet oil is used and care is taken to store the chips in a cool, dry, clean place, they should keep without spoiling for several weeks. Place them in the oven for a few minutes before serving to make them crisp. en used in soup, and there is no reason why small quantities of coarse samp or any other cereal which will keep its shape fairly well should not be used up in the same way. Similarly, remnants of macaroni broken into small pieces may be used in the place of vermicelll or other special soup pastes. Such practices serve the double purpose of using material that would otherwise be wasted and of giving a little variety to a simple diet by inexpensive means. Oatmeal cookies, a toothsome and wholesome sweet for the school lunch, may be made of one egg, one-third cupful granulated sugar, one cupful rolled oats, two teaspoonfuls melted fat, one teaspoonful salt. Beat the egg, add sugar gradually, and stir in other ingredients. Drop a spoonful at a time on a well-greased tin and bake in a moderate oven. SPLENDID DISH FOR SUPPER Combination of Eggs and Cheese Is Recommended by Department of Agriculture. The combination of eggs and cheese makes a hearty dish suitable for supper, dinner or lunch. The following recipe is recommended by the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture: 4 eggs 1 cup or 4 ounces, 4 teaspoon salt grated cheese 1 cup of fine, soft Cayenne pepper Break the eggs into a buttered baking dish or into ramelkins and cook in a hot oven until they begin to turn white around the edge. Cover with the mixture of crumbs, cheese and seasonings. Brown in a very hot oven. In preparing this dish it is essential that the oven be very hot or the egg will be too much cooked by the time the cheese is brown. To avoid this, some cooks cover the eggs with white sauce before adding crumbs. The food value of the dish is very close to that of a pound of beef of average composition. For those who are particularly fond of cheese, the amount of cheese in this recipe may be very much increased, thus making a much more nourishing dish; or the amount may be reduced so as to give hardly more than a suggestion of the flavor of cheese. The Kitchen Cabinet (© 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) The happy man is he who is cheerful with moderate means; the unhappy he who is discontented in the midst of plenty.—Democritus. SERVE SOME SOUP. Even spoonfuls of lettowers of vegetables, stenk bones, broth from corned leftovers of vegetebroth from corned beef or from tongue, a cupful of gravy or less, celery leaves, parsley — these last may be dried and kept in bottles — in fact anything that is beer or from tongue, a cupful of gravy or less, celery leaves, parsley — these last may be dried and kept in bottles—in fact anything that is good, no matter how small the quantity, may be utilized in a soup. The trimmings sent from roasts, the bones of fowls as well as the feet may be used. The soup course planned and prepared from such combinations as above mentioned may be served at a very low cost. An occasional day of cream soup may be served to add variety. Clam Chowder.—Pour two cupfuls of water over one quart of solid clams; rinse and remove bits of shell, if present. Strain the water and clam juice through a double cheese cloth. Remove the hard portion from each clam and chop fine. Cut one slice of salt pork into small cubes and cook until well browned with one onion sliced thin; when the onion is yellowed, add the water and clam juice and simmer ten minutes. Parboil one pint of sliced potatoes, drain, rinse in cold water and drain again; pour the water from the onions and pork over the potatoes; add more water, if necessary; also the chipped clams, and let cook until the potatoes are tender; add the soft part of the clams and cook three minutes. Make a sauce of one-third of a cupful of butter, one-third of a cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of pepper, three cupfuls of milk; cook until smooth and thick, then add one cupful of hot cream; combine the two mixtures and serve at once. Cream of Salsify Soup.—Scrub six good roots of salisfy, cut off tops and let stand in cold water until ready to cook. Cook in boiling water until tender, press through a fine sieve. Put the pulp with a sliced onion and two sprigs of parsley into a double boiler. Add a pint of milk and let stand on the fire until needed. Melt one-third of a cupful of sweet fat, add one-half cupful of flour and cook until smooth. Add one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of paprika and one quart of bubbling hot milk. Then add the salisfy and milk and press all through a fine sieve. Reheat and add two well-beaten eggs mixed with a cupful of cream. Serve hot. The yolks may be cooked in the soup and the whites beaten stiff and placed on top of the hot soup as a garnish. It is difficult to be always true to ourselves, to be always what we wish to be, what we feel we ought to be. As long as we feel that, as long as we do not currender the ideal of our own life, we do not currender the true nature of our soul much more than our everyday life.—Max Muller. SEASONABLE DISHES. A potato salad is a favorite dish with the majority of people. A salad made from such vegetables as potato, beets, cabbage or others should be well seasoned or marinated with some seasoned dressing long enough to penetrate the vegetables before it is to be served. 茶 cold boiled potatoes into half-inch cubes to make a quart. Chop fine in a wooden bowl one small, peeled onion, one tablespoonful of picaillii, one tablespoonful of capers, six branches of parsley, eight olives and half of a green sweet pepper. Add six tablespoonfuls of olive oil, three tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one teaspoonful of salt; mix well and pour over the potato; let stand in a cool place for two or three hours before serving. When ready to serve sprinkle with minced parsley and serve garnished with heart leaves of lettuce with radishes cut to resemble tullips. Frikadeller Danish. — Take one eighth of a pound of suet, three-fourths of a pound of round steak, one small onion; put through a meat chopped twice, add salt and pepper to taste. Mix one tablespoonful of flour with a cupful of rich milk and mix all together. Have a hot skillet well greased. Dip a spoon into hot fat and shape the meat into oblong cakes; fry a nice brown and serve with vegetables. Pork Cake.—Take one cupful each of chopped fat salt pork and boiling water. Cook together for three hours on the back of the stove two cupfuls of chopped home-dried apples, and one cupful of molasses with one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one-half teaspoonful each of cloves and nutmeg. Add flour to make of the desired thickness; mix all together with one teaspoonful of soda and two teaspoonfuls of cream of tartar. Add one-half cupful of raisons at the last. Bake in a loaf for at least one hour in a moderate oven. This cake will keep, improving in flavor when a month old. Nellie Maxwell The KITCHEN CABINET (@. 1920, Western Newspaper Union.) "Many people in ordinary circumstances are millionaires of cheerfulness. They make their neighborhood brighter, happier, and a better place to live in by their presence; they raise the value of every lot for blocks around them." RECIPES WE LIKE TO TRY. A very savory dish of meat if carefully selected and prepared as well as well cooked is: Salisbury Steak. —Cholcer meat is used for this steak than that used in Hamburg. The ends of fillets of beef when they are cut Salisbury Steak. —Chocoré meat is used for this steak than that used in Hamburg. The ends of fillets of beef when they are cut into steaks or trimmed from roasting are used for Salisbury steak. In the home the choicest cuts from the round may be used or a mixture of fillet and round. The meat should be chopped very fine, or, better still, scraped from the fibers, first on one side, then on the other. For each pound of prepared beef, take one-quarter of a pound of beef marrow, crush the marrow and mix evenly through the meat. Add very gradually one-half cupful of cold water, press into a loaf or cakes, keeping the edges as thick as the center. Broil over coals or under gas or pan broil in a smoking hot, lightly greased frying pan. Let the meat cook on one side till a drop of juice appears, then turn at once to cook the other side. Serve garnished with broiled bacon and with French fried potatoes. Southern Sweet Potatoes.—Parbull the potatoes ten minutes, peel and cut in slices, crosswise. Dispose the slices in a buttered baking dish in layers, dotting with bits of butter. Add enough milk to nearly cover the potatoes and bake in a moderate oven until done. Velvet Jelly.—Soften one-fourth of a package of gelatine in one-fourth of a cupful of cold milk. Scald one and one-half cupfuls of milk in a double boiler. Bent the yolks of two eggs, add one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-third of a cupful of honey, and dilute with a little hot milk; then mix and cook in the rest of the milk until thickened slightly. Fold in the whites of the eggs beaten until stiff, one cupful of cake crumbs and when hot add the softened gelatine. Let chill, add a half teaspoonful of vanilla and turn into six molds. Serve cold with cream and sugar. Soft Molasses Cookies.—Put into a measuring cup four teaspoonfuls of clarified bacon fat; add three teaspoonfuls of boiling water, then fill the cup with New Orleans molasses. Add half a teaspoonful of ginger, one teaspoonful of soda, sifted with one cupful of flour; mix and add enough more flour to make a soft dough. Roll rather thick. Cut in rounds. Bake in a moderate oven. The best things are nearest—breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of God just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things of life.—Lord Houghton. NEW DISHES OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. With the many kinds of gelatin or fruit jellies put up in packages to serve the housewife there may be a variety of combinations only limited by the ingenuity of the cook. COFFEE Take ordinary lemon jelly, add chopped cucumber, pineapple, a few sections of orange, a dozen cherries or grapes or dates or raisins, mold and cut in fancy shapes and serve on lettuce or on a slice of pretty red-skinned apple with a rose of mayonnaise piped on the top—a delectable salad for almost any occasion is ready. Tomato Jelly.—Boll ten minutes one pint of strained tomato with one-eighth of a teaspoonful of cloves, a pinch of ginger, mace, allspice and mustard, a slice of onion and a sprig of parsley. Strain and add a tablespoonful of lemon juice and one envelope of plain gelatin. Stir until cool, then arrange in a mold with cooked green peas, letting the jelly set after each layer so that the peas are scattered through the jelly. Serve with a highly seasoned cooked dressing. Fruit Mold.—Make a pint of raspberry jelly and one of orange, using the ready-flavored gelatin. Place two-thirds of the raspberry jelly in a mold and when firm cover with orange jelly and pieces of orange from which all skin is removed. Cover with the rest of the raspberry and top with whipped cream when unmolded. The cream should be sweetened and flavored with orange. Rice With Orange Jelly.—Take one cupful of cooked rice. Add one cupful of boiling water, one-half cupful of sugar, a teaspoonful of orange rind and an envelope of gelatin. Mold and when firm pour over a pint of orange jelly. Serve unmolded with sweetened whipped cream or ordinary cream and sugar. The addition of nuts to any fruit salad or jelly enhances both its flavor and food value. Nellie Maxwell A. HASER, Prop.

L jacket with flaring sleeves, a platted skirt, somewhat longer than the passing styles, and a sash of brightly striped ribbon finished with knot and tassel at the ends. The hat of silk and cellophane braid has a narrow brim and the shoes are plain kid pumps with baby French heels. HERE are two youthful followers of the mode outfitted for Easter—and afterward—with new suits, new hats and new footwear. As they are experts in the art of dressing tastefully and as each has made her selections different from the others, it is worth while to study the details of their quiet, springtime apparel for the street. Their suits are widely different, but equally good style, their hats agree only in being small, but in the matter of footwear each has chosen plain silk stockings and low shoes—to be worn with spats when the weather is cool. The suit at the right is a dignified model, which might be worn by an older woman. Its coat has bands of cire ribbon as a decoration on collar and skirt, which is quite full; it owns allegiance to the coat-sleeve and is one of the few models having a wide belt that definitely defines the waist line. The skirt is a little longer than the average and quite plain; the turban is of deep blue Batavia cloth and cellophane braid and the smart shoes of suede with wrap over the instep and the fashionable baby French heel. The extremes of the box-coat style begin with the jacket at one end and end with the finger-length flaring model at the other. In the youthful, spring-like suit at the left of the picture, there is a short, loosely adjusted Within the Walls of Home UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD genious fancy has introduced an odd drapery at each side supporting a long silk tassel. Instead of a hem at the bottom a corded edge is draped up and tacked in irregular folds. This is the type of negligee that is enjoying the favor of woman-kind at present, and it is made oftenest in changeable taffetas that furnish as beautiful colors as georgette can boast. As a rule boudolr coats are shorter than the negligee pictured, and cut on more definite lines with set-in sleeves. They are often made with a long body having a deep flounce set on to form the skirt, and provided with pockets that are ornamental. Frills and ruches made of the taffeta—especially when their edges are frayed—make the prettiest trimmings. IN THE realm of special privilege—that is within the four walls of home—all sorts of negligees blossom out, as varied and unlike each other as flowers in a garden. Here splendor-loving women can go as far as they like, drawing inspiration from all quarters of the earth and of other lands; and this is what they do. If anything odd or beautiful happens to be overlooked by them, some kind genius among costumers is sure to bring the neglected treasure to their notice in an alluring form, to his gain and theirs. Considering everything the two negligeees shown in the picture above are quite unpretentious. One of them in rose and blue georgette is a lovely and fragile looking affair in which old blue in a soft shade is posed over rose color, the blue over-garment showing a wide embroidered border at the bottom and narrow embroidered bands on the bodice. The underslip provides the brief kimono sleeves, and narrow satin ribbon the loose, long girdle weighted with beads and ornaments at the ends.
