THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY PRESIDENT HARDING RE-ASSERTS HIS FAITH IN AMERICAN PROTECTION OF SMALLER NATIONS AND YOUNGER RACES ```markdown ``` VOL. XXVII. PRESIDENT HARDIN FAITH IN AMERIC OF SMALLER YOUNGE NEW YORK, April 19.—Standing in the shadow of the statue of Simon Bolivar, the great South American liberator, President Harding, in an address late Tuesday, reasserted his faith in the doctrine laid down by Monroe a century ago, and stated plainly that the United States stands ready at any time to fight, if necessary, to preserve that doctrine and to protect the young democracies of the new world against oppression and tyranny. Diplomats from all over the South and Latin American countries, and many from the countries of the old world, were in the audience which heard the President's simple utterance of faith in the destiny of the two Americas and the warning which accompanied it, that the United States is the "big brother of the smaller republics in fact as well as in theory." The republics of the new world have a great mission to perform as well, the President declared. He cited a world torn by war and conflict and strife turning to the two rich young continents of the western world in hope of aid. "Herein lie for both of us duty and opportunity," said the President, "duty to those whom we may help, opportunity in helping others to help ourselves." "With all humility, but in all sincerity, I feel that we Americans, north and south, are entitled to hold that our democracy has come as a light into the world of international relations, and that it will show us a way out of the world's present troubles into a day when mankind may know peace and plenty and happiness, and when the first duty to organized society may be to promote the welfare of its members, rather than to array itself in power against threat of destruction. "Let us stand out as an earnest of more effective co-operation and better understanding and more intimate and ever-assuring friendship." "We must have a thought for all mankind. The world is torn and harassed, and pan-Americanism means sympathetic and generous Americanism. The world needs the utmost of production, of restoration, of rehabilitation, of steadying influence, all that we can contribute to it. Our greatest service lies in standing firmly together, making ourselves strong that we may give our strength, rich that we may contribute our riches and confident that we may inspire others with confidence. "The world needs peace, enterprise, industry, frugality and commercial development. We have two rich and mighty continents which as a whole have felt far less effects of the great war than have the older continental races. To us the world is turning, with the plea that we draw upon our resources which nature and our common good fortune have assured to us, to aid those who have suffered more grievously than we. "Herein lie for us both duty and opportunity; duty to those whom we may help, opportunity in helping others, also to help ourselves. The great --- war has brought to us of the Americas a new conception of our place in the world. "We need to know each other better, to understand peoples and institutions and methods more accurately; to develop the great producing and commercial possibilities of our own countries; to encourage the larger exchanges of our products, the most sympathetic appreciation of our varied relations to one another and to the rest of the world. By accomplishing these things we shall mightily strengthen ourselves to carry forward our tasks of today and of all the tomorrows." WOODLAND, CALIFORNIA, NEWS.

TELEGRAPHS THANKS TO HARDING ON LYNCHING PRONOUNCEMENT The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a telegram to President Harding thanking him in behalf of the colored people of the United States for his recommendations that Congress pass a federal anti-lynching law and establish a joint commission to study race relations. The telegram, which was signed by James Weldon Johnson, is as follows: "April 13, 1921. "Honorable Warren G. Harding, President of the United States, Washington D.C. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in behalf of fourteen million Negroes in the United States, thanks you for the paragraphs of your message to Congress in which you urge upon Congress that it wipe out the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of this democracy, and in which you endorse the proposal made to you by this association for a joint commission of white and colored persons to make a thorough and impartial study of race relations in the United States, with particular reference to the causes of friction. "These utterances from you as President of the United States will give heart to millions of colored American citizens who were rapidly losing hope in American democracy. "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is confident that the enactment of an adequate anti-lynching law and its fearless enforcement will do more than any other single thing to wipe out lynching atrocities. "We are confident that the adjustment of race relations in the United States can be arrived at through understanding, through the recognition of the interdependence of the races and the maintenance of the equal rights of citizenship. Your action is a long step toward that adjustment. "JAMES WELDON JOHNSON, "Secretary National Association for Advancement of Colored People." NEGROES TO PRAY THAT GOD TROUBLE THE CONSCIENCE OF WHITE AMERICA. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced that colored ministers throughout the United States have been asked to preach sermons on "Justice to the Negro—the Test of Christianity in America," and to hold a noon hour service of prayer on Sunday, April 24, the opening day of its drive for a quarter of a million members. Prayer at that time will be offered that God will trouble the conscience of White America over the wrongs done the Negro, so that the nation may be moved to equity; That this country may be brought to a realization that so long as it tolerates these wrongs, the denial of equal opportunity, the denial of equal protection under the law, the slavery of peonage, and the burning of human beings at the stake, it stands as the arch-sinner among the nations, and its protestations of democracy are as sounding brass or a thkling cymbal; That our race may ever hold to the highest aspirations and ideals for ourselves and for our country, and that through closer union of purpose and action we may obtain the power to press forward into the full enjoyment of the rights and privileges of our native land. The boys' work department feels that every parent should read these suggestions and govern themselves accordingly for the best interests of their boys and girls. It is only to what extent close co-operation exists between parents and teachers that our youth will receive the greatest benefits from their scholastic training: 1. By reading carefully all notices and reports which are brought home. 2. By encouraging children to strengthen their weak points as revealed by the report card. 3. By setting aside a definite hour of the day for home study. 4. By withholding judgment regarding what happens at the school until both sides have been heard. 5. By insisting that children be punctual and regular in attendance, and that they are not excused except for most urgent reasons. 6. By restricting the child's attendance at the "movies" and exciting forms of entertainment. 7. By having children arrange their parties and dances for Friday and Saturday rather than during the school week 8. By knowing the character of a "movie" or entertainment before permitting the children to attend. 9. By knowing the character of the companions of your children. 10. For the upper grade and high school pupils I suggest that: Spending money be limited to what is necessary for lunch, carfare and other necessities. Girls be dressed "in manner which will invite admiration and respect, rather than curiosity and comment." Read this column for real live pointers every week, issued by the boys' work department. MADAME PATTI BROWN AGAIN DELIGHTS DENVER MUSIC LOVERS. OUR favorite famous artist, Anita Patti, was welcomed once more to Denver by a large audience at the People's Presbyterian Church last Thursday day evening, when she appeared in a musical program that gave the music-loving people of Denver a rich and rare treat. Madame Brown's coming to Denver is always hailed with delight, and although the notice to the public was short and in spite of other attractions the same evening, a large and appreciative audience greeted her. The "Arla" (Oberon), by Carl M. Weber, "La Traviata," by Verdi and the popular "Vilanelle," by Del Acqua, rendered by this artist of international fame, gave an opportunity to her auditors to prove her meritorious title, one of America's greatest colatura soloists, and some very good points were gotten by some of our young folks who are qualifying to be on the roster of musical artists sooner or later. This is Madame Brown's third visit to Denver, the interval between the second and this being about eight years. Her accompanist, Miss Dorcey, is a very accomplished pianist and ably supported the vocalist. She also contributed recitations to the program, proving her an elocutionist. An augmented church choir of twenty-one voices, assisted in chorus, doing their part well, Mrs. Nettle Herndon, accompanist. The Madame was pleased to renew former acquaintanceship of patrons and friends after the program, and expressed her pleasure of being in Denver and meeting us again. Messrs. Curtis M. Harris, J. P. Perkins and Wm. Robinson were ushers. NO28 Both Houses of West Virginia Legislature Approved Most Stringent Anti-Lynch Bills. CHARLESTON, W. Va., April 18. Subjecting the county to a forfeiture of $5,000 for the benefit of the family of the person lynched and making participation in a mob a felony, punishable with death, both Houses of the West Virginia Legislature have approved the most stringent anti-lynch bill thus far enacted by any of the states. H. J. Capehart, the colored member of the House of Delegates from McDowell county, drew and sponsored the measure in the lower branch, overcoming the most determined opposition of the Democratic minority which sought to emasculate it by proposing various amendments. As originally drawn, the bill provided for a forfeiture of $25,000 and made every county through which the mob might pass, jointly and severally liable. To meet the objections of many of his party members and secure their support, Capehart reduced the amount to $5,600 and limited the forfeiture to those counties whose citizens might aid and abet the lynchers. In his fight to put the measure through, the member from McDowell had the able and active support of T. G. Nutter, Kanawha county's colored delegate, and the legislative committee of the West Virginia State League, composed of all classes of Negro citizens, of which T. Edward Hill of Keystone, is president, and J. C. Gilmer of Charleston, secretary. Others of the race all over the state assisted with petitions, while members of the state administration and other influential citizens among the whites, both men and women, contributed much to the passage of the bill. Other legislation of particular benefit or interest to the race has been enacted or is pending with every prospect of favorable action. Bills creating an industrial school for colored boys and an industrial home for colored girls, introduced by Delegate Nutter, will have become laws before this gets into print, as is true of the measure establishing a bureau of Negro welfare statistics. The proposal to segregate colored passengers on railroads, disguised by its Democratic author under the deceptive title of "A bill to provide for the comfort of passengers," was before the committee just long enough to pass a motion indefinitely postponing its consideration. The full crew bill, designed to dispense with the services of colored railway porters, met a similar fate. PENNSYLVANIA LABOR TO ACT ON PEONAGE. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced receipt of a letter from James H. Mauer, president of the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor, in which Mr. Mauer stated that his organization would take action on peonage in Georgia. "In reply to your communication relative to Georgia peonage," says Mr. Mauer's letter, "will say that the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor meets in convention here in Harrisbury, May 10th, 11th and 12th next, and I shall bring the subject of your letter to the attention of the delegates who will, without doubt, draft and pass suitable resolutions condemning this worse than chattel form of slavery." FOREIGN Max Hoelz, alleged to have been the leader of the recent communist uprising in middle Germany, has been arrested. A Revolutionary court in Scolensk has pronounced sentence on 320 peasants accused of having participated in an uprising, according to advises in Stockholm. Soviet Russia's debt to Switzerland, according to statistics of the Swiss federal government, amounts to 466,000,000 rubles, 129,000,000 Swiss francs, 6,000,000 French francs, £4,500,000 and 3,000,000 marks. General tightening of the conscription laws by Japan, including extension for the first time of the application of universal military training to Japanese residents in the Philippines, East Indies and the South Sea islands, has been reported to official circles in Washington. The allies have sent a demand to the German government for the transfer of 1,000,000,000 gold marks (normally $250,000,000), constituting German gold reserve, from Berlin to Cologne banks for "safer keeping." Cologne is the center of the British army of occupation on the Rhine. The first execution of a woman in the strife in Ireland has been announced in Dublin. She was taken from her home in the Scotstown district of Monaghan and shot and killed on the bank of the river. The woman, who was Kitty MacCarron, belonged to the farming class. The imminent collapse of the Constantine government in Greece is foreseen in receipt of news on the deplorable condition of the Greek army in Asia Minor and the destitute condition of the treasury at Athens. Seven Greek divisions used in the last offensive were smashed and their morale weakened. The 6,000 troops, sent as reinforcements, are being used to fortify Smyrna, thus indicating that the forces around Ushak and Brussa are preparing to retire. GENERAL An argument for more municipal tennis courts in Philadelphia by William T. Tilden II, world's singles champion, moved the city council's committee on property and service to report favorably an ordinance authorizing the spending of $50,000 for building new city courts and for repairing thirty-two old ones. Penalties for men and women guilty of crimes violating the moral code, strict enforcement of prohibition laws, equal citizenship rights for women and standardization of American schools under federal supervision were among the issues before the League of Women Voters, in its second annual convention, in session in Cleveland. Mrs. Adah Bishop, a farmer's wife, was painfully injured when a tornado demolished the three-room house in which the family resided near Boone, thirty miles east of Pueblo. Considerable damage was done to small buildings in the vicinity, and a lumber yard shed 150 feet long was demolished in Boone. Several barns were unroofed. Because she ate oysters with her fingers and couldn't tell brown from blue, Mrs. Eliza Climer was of unsound mind, according to testimony of her sister, Mrs. Eloise Von Schrader, who is contesting the will of the dead woman in the St. Louis courts. Mrs. Climer's estate, valued at approximately $500,000, was left to her nephew, Dana Von Schrader. Reports in Memphis from six states swept by recent storms showed ninety-seven deaths, with twenty seriously injured and nearly 130 suffering lesser injuries. Property damage, it was estimated, will run into the millions and when reports come from isolated sections it is feared that the death toll will be higher. As compiled the death list was: Texas 9, Arkansas 52, Mississippi 8, Alabama 14. In Arkansas the injured totaled 66. Concealed in wads of chewing gum, ten diamonds, valued at more than $8,000, were removed from their hiding place behind a lock on an inside door of his home by Virgil Helm, former Rock Island night baggageman, who is under arrest charged with complicity in the recent $51,000 jewelry robbery in Topeka. United States secret service operatives of Chicago revealed what they declared was a plot to flood the central West with smuggled diamonds from Canada, after arresting I. Gittler, a furrier, and his wife. The government agents said they had information which led them to believe the couple were the Chicago representatives of an organized band of smugglers. "Captain" Harry W. Devore is serving a five-year term in the Oklahoma state penitentiary all because, Harry says, he has a "double" brother who likes the ladies. Devore was convicted of bigamy when three wives identified him in open court in Sapulpa, Okla. "They got me wrong," alibled the "Captain." "I'm the victim of a double. My brother is the guy who married these ladies." The court decided it was the "Captain." A searchlight sixty inches in diameter has been shipped by the General Electric Company for installation on Mount Tamalpals, near San Francisco, it has been announced in Schenectady, N. Y. This is one of the largest searchlights constructed, it was said, there being only two or three as large in use. The light was purchased by a joint organization of civic clubs of San Francisco to illuminate an amusement park. The rays of the searchlight will pick up a battleship twelve miles at sea, and is 500 times more powerful than the headlight of a locomotive.

The Canadian government May 1 will resume dispatch of its mails on the Canadian Pacific railroad vessels sailing for the Far East, according to advices received in Seattle by Edward McGrath, superintendent of the railway mail service for the Northwest. One hundred and fifty men, all jobless wanderers, were driven from the Salvation Army industrial home when fire destroyed the building in San Francisco. The men were marched in orderly style from the burning building. Each man carried a little bundle in his hands, representing, in most cases, all of his worldly belongings. Former Mayor Edmond A. Bock of Salt Lake City, sentenced last December to an indeterminate term, in the state prison, the trial judge recommending a term of seven years, on charges of embezzlement involving a total of $12,000, has been paroled by the State Board of Pardons. Prior to his trial Bock made restitution of the amount. P. S. Crawley, Siberian exporter and importer, was detained in custody aboard the Japanese liner Siberia Maru for a time soon after the vessel arrived in San Francisco bay recently as a result of an alleged attack on a steward. Crawley said the steward had tripped him and declared the act was part of an attempt to obtain papers concerning Japanese activities in Siberia which he intended to present to the United States government. Three officers of the steamship Governor, rammed and sunk by the shipping board freighter West Hartland off Point Wilson April 1, are held to blame by United States steamboat inspectors for the collision that resulted in total loss of the passenger vessel and the snuffing out of five lives. Captain Harry Marden, pilot; Ernest Kellenberger, second mate, and Arne Hage, third mate, all of the Governor, are accused in the report of "inattention to the duties of their stations," as a result of which the fatal collision occurred. WASHINGTON Curtailment of property rights is justifiable in case of public exigency, the Supreme Court held in deciding two cases involving the validity of laws affecting leases on apartments and business property. Dividing five to four, the court upheld the Ball act and the so-called New York City housing laws. The Ball act prohibits dispossession of a tenant at the expirations of his lease on any ground except undesirability. The New York laws make it obligatory on landlords to furnish certain service to tenants and prohibit the filing of disposess suits. Nominations of George Harvey of New York, to be ambassador to Great Britain and Myron T. Herrick of Ohio, to be ambassador to France, have been sent to the Senate by President Harding. Rigid restriction of immigration has been recommended by Secretary Hughes in official documents transmitted to Congress. They were interpreted by congressional leaders as reflecting increased need for immediate passage of the immigration bill reported by the House committee, limiting admission of aliens for fourteen months beginning May 10 to 3 per cent of each nationality resident in the United States in 1919. Secretary Wallace has written letters to the governors of all states asking their co-operation in the nationwide observance of forest protection week, May 22 to 28, recently proclaimed by President Harding. "Adequate provision for the safeguarding and renewal of our forests is of vital importance to the nation," the secretary said in his letter, adding that the magnitude of the area burned over the last five years "represents a territory larger than the state of Utah." Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador, members of the new Central American Union, are pledged to declare war simultaneously with Costa Rica against Panama, if Costa Rica deems such action necessary in view of the present boundary dispute with Panama, according to official advice received in Washington. A resolution authorizing an investigation of the escape of Grover C. Bergdoll, Philadelphia draft evader, who is now in Germany, was adopted by the House without opposition after brief debate. Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado (Western Newpaper Union News Service.) Only one beet sugar factory of the Holly Sugar Corporation system on the western slope will operate during 1921, according to present beet acreage, Supt. W. R. Draper of the Delta factory has stated.

Strenuous objection has been made before the Colorado Utilities Commission by citizens of the Clear Creek mining district to a proposed reduction in passenger service on the Colorado & Southern railroad. The railroad petitioned the commission for permission to reduce passenger service to one train a day. A marked revival of mining in the Cripple Creek district has been noted. What mining men consider an event of the month, was the reopening of a mine that long had been idle. Other mines have been installing new machinery and a revival of the mining industry is considered by mining interests in the state. A new townsite connecting Colorado Springs and Manitou has been opened along the southern boundary of the Garden of the Gods. The place is to be known as Lennon Park. Landscape gardeners assert that its scenic boundaries, the Garden of the Gods and Balanced Rock park, make it an ideal site for unique homes. Electric lights have been installed, and sewers are now being laid. Probably the greatest silver strike recorded in the Aspen district since the boom days was discovered in the Hope mine, according to L. A. W. Brown, Espen banker. The strike disclosed a three-inch vein assaying 2,100 ounces of silver and a twelve-inch streak assaying 1,700 ounces. As a result of the discovery old trunks and bureau drawers are being searched for stock in the Hope mine which had been laid away as probably valueless. Excitement is running high and the once famous camp is taking on new life and business is reviving as the result of the discovery. Denver will celebrate "Music Week" from May 15 to 20 and the event is attracting wide-spread interest.

Charlotte Epping, 4 years old, was burned to death when a small chicken coop in the rear yard in Denver in which she was playing caught fire from lighted matches in the hands of her 6-year-old brother, Anthony Epping, Jr. John H. Thatcher of Pueblo, recently appointed to the Colorado State Fair Commission by Governor Shoup, has been elected president. Sites were chosen for the new $35,000 cattle and horse building and the $10,000 poultry building to be erected. Both will be constructed of brick and hollow tile and located west of the state building on land recently acquired. I. N. Pepper, a farmer near Montrose, planted a surprise for sneak thieves at one of his tenant houses this week in the form of a shotgun ingeniously fixed to the door so that when the door was opened the gun would shoot rock salt at the intruders. The following morning Mr. Pepper was surprised when he found the door open and that the house had been ransacked, without any apparent injury have been inflicted upon the robbers. The gun had been discharged, blowing a hole through the door. The Telluride public and high schools are without a superintendent, as a result of the resignation of G. H. Bonner, who had acted as superintendent of the Telluride schools. Mr. Bonner's resignation came upon request of the three members of the school board. H. E. Webster of Denver, engineer of the State Highway Department, and a crew of men are in Alamosa to begin work on improving the Wolf Creek pass highway. The state will spend $30,000 on this road during the coming season. Three unmasked bandits, armed to the teeth, held up and robbed Ellis B. Hart, auditor, and J. R. Leftwich, clerk of the Stockyards National Bank of Denver of $23,000 cash. After disarming the bank men and putting the engine of their taxicab out of commission, the robber trio fled in a high-powered automobile and disappeared in a cloud of dust. One of the bandits accidentally shot himself through the foot as he was transferring money sacks from the taxicab to the robber car. The robbery, staged in broad daylight and in full sight of a number of residents of the neighborhood, was one of the most daring ever attempted in Colorado. Likewise, it was one of the most skillfully executed. It was pulled off so quickly and so smoothly that Hart and Leftwich scarcely could believe it had taken place. No clew to the slayer of S. Yamaguchi, wealthy Japanese healthseeker, whose body was found in Beaver brook at its junction with Clear creek near Golden, was developed at the coroner's inquest held at Golden. The jury returned a verdict finding that Yamaguchi, who disappeared Jan. 12, came to his death from a gunshot wound inflicted by persons unknown to the jurors. State rangers who had been investigating the case since Yamaguchi's disappearance and who found his automobile at the foot of a cliff on Genesee mountain the day before his body was discovered, were the principal witnesses at the inquest. One hour after they had entered the First State bank at Aguilar, held up W. T. Emberton, president, and Miss Jeannie Balle, cashier and teller, and escaped with more than $500 in cash, two auto bandits were in the county jail in Trinidad. The bandits, with the money in a sack, were rounded up by Undersheriff F. E. Cole and a posse of citizens on the road six miles north of Trinidad. The bandits gave their names as Will Avery and B. L. Sloan, and say they are life insurance agents. Mrs. Pearl Burgman, widow of the late Fred C. Burgman, who died in Grand Junction Sept. 18, 1920, on the operating table in the offices of Drs. J. Henry Hook and James Keen, osteopaths, has filed suit asking $10,000 damages. She charges malpractice. Burgman was operated upon on that date for the removal of tonsils. The complaint charges that the deceased came to his death through lack of ability on the part of the doctors who performed the operation. The first contest among the commercial classes of the western slope high schools will be held in Montrose May 6, when representatives from five commercial departments will compete for the western slope honors. The counties to compete in this are Montrose, Ouray, San Miguel, Delta and Hinsdale, and the victor in the contest will go to Greeley for the state tournament on May 22. Gross revenue of insurance companies of all classes in Colorado during the last year amounted to $27,208,997.39, according to the preliminary annual report issued by the state insurance commissioner. Losses paid by the companies totaled $11,417,564.85. Life insurance in force during 1920 reached $545,634,499 on which $12,223,157.99 was paid in premiums. Twelve years of litigation between the executors of the estate of J. Pierpone Morgan, who died in 1913, and Col. James A. Ownbey of Boulder, terminated when the United States Supreme Court announced a decision affirming action of the District Court of Delaware awarding judgment for $200,000 against Ownbey. Thousands of visitors from all parts of Colorado and from neighboring states are expected to be in Denver for "Music week," May 15 to 20. The committee in charge is giving wide publicity to the affair, and cities all over the state are co-operating with Denver in the Idea. Considerable uncertainty exists and there is much difference of opinion among the fruit growers as to the damage done to the fruit crop of the Cañon City district by the severe frosts of recent nights. Horticultural Inspector Bruce McIntyre estimates that nine-tenths of the fruit buds are killed, but if the surviving buds are sufficiently scattered and remain uninjured by subsequent freezes there will still be enough left for a good yield. The city council of Fort Collins has accepted the proposition of the Mountain States Telephone and Telegraph Company whereby the company will withdraw its injunction suit pending in the Federal Court to prevent the city from enforcing lower rates, and the city will permit the present rates to remain in effect. Thirty-five dollars a month, with board and room provided, is to be the maximum wage for farm laborers in Logan county this year. If a laborer elects to do without board, he will be entitled to $60 a month, and will be provided with a house, garden and a cow, the county farm bureau decided at a meeting recently held in Sterling. Passenger service between Greeley and Fort Collins on the Colorado & Southern railroad will not be curtailed, according to notice given the Colorado Utilities Commission. The railroad withdrew its request to operate only one train each way a day between the two cities. Mrs. Edwin Ard Stephens and W. Sherman Fisher, both prominent in Denver society, are in a critical condition at St. Joseph's hospital as the result of an automobile accident on the Mount Vernon cafion road between Golden and Denver. 3 THE COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West RELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

For an emergency dessert, if you have a few cream puff shells at hand or near enough to purchase on short notice, is cream puffs shells filled with vanilla ice cream and served with a hot chocolate sauce. If chocolate is to purchase on short notice, is cream puffs shells filled with vanilla ice cream and served with a hot chocolate sauce.

A dessert which may be given the children with freedom is baked apples in various ways; the following will be found a little different from the usual manner of serving them; 3 Individual Baked Apples. Use the small glass baking dishes. Cut apples in quarters and remove all the core. Set the apples in cups to resemble a whole apple. Fill the center with pieces of figs, dates or raisins. Add to each cup one tablespoonful of water. Bake until tender. The skin is not removed from the apple. Serve hot or cold with cream and sugar. Ginger Cream.—Soak three-fourths of a teaspoonful of gelatin in one tablespoonful of cold water. Make a custard of one egg, one tablespoonful of sugar, six tablespoonfuls of milk, a pinch of salt, beating all with an egg beater. Cook over water until the spoon is coated, then add one tablespoonful of minced Canton ginger and two tablespoonfuls of sirup; add the gelatin to the hot custard and when thick stir in one-half cupful of whipped cream. Pour into molds and chill. Lemon Crumb Pie.—Grate the rind and take the juice of a lemon. Mix two tablespoonfuls of butter with five tablespoonfuls of sugar. Stir the sugar mixture into three-quarters of a plint of hot milk, and cool; add the yolks of three eggs, well beaten, and the lemon juice and rind. Line a pie plate with an inch layer of buttered crumbs and pour in the mixture. Coyer when baked and firm with a meringue made from the whites. Brown in the oven and serve cold.

REFUSE GERMAN PLEA BERLIN GOVERNMENT DECLARES ITSELF READY TO ACCEPT AMERICA'S TERMS. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington, April 22.—The American government has refused an urgent request of the German government that President Harding mediate the question of reparations between Germany and the allies and fix the sum Germany is to pay. The United States agreed, however, that if the German government would formulate promptly such proposals regarding reparations "as would present a proper basis for discussion," it would "consider bringing the matter to the attention of the allied governments in a manner acceptable to them in order that negotiations may be speedily resumed." Germany's appeal, signed by Chancellor Fehrenbach and Foreign Minister Simons, was directed to President Harding. It was answered by Secretary Hughes after a conference with the President. The texts of both the appeal and the reply have been made public. The communication from Berlin said the German government was "ready and willing" to agree "without qualification or reservation" to pay such sum as the President might "find just and right" and "to fulfill, in letter and spirit, all the provisions of any award that may be made by him." In reply, Secretary Hughes said: "This government could not agree to mediate the question of reparations with a view to acting as umpire in its settlement. Impressed, however, with the seriousness of the issues involved as they affect the world, the United States feels itself deeply concerned with the question of obtaining an early and just solution. "This government strongly desires that there should be an immediate resumption of negotiations, and reiterates its earnest hope that the German government will formulate such proposals as would present a proper basis for discussion. Should the German government take this course this government will consider bringing the matter to the attention of the allied governments in a manner acceptable to them in order that negotiations may speedily be resumed." Germany's appeal was regarded here as remarkable. It was pointed out that it was directed to the head of a nation with which Germany still is technically at war and which has troops on its soil. Reference to the state of war was made in the German communication, the chancellor and foreign minister declaring that notwithstanding this they petitioned the President "in the name of the German government and German people" with "the confident hope" that the appeal would be granted. Germany has until May 1 to meet the allies' demands that the first installment in cash on the reparations bill be paid. Premiers Lloyd George of Great Britain and Briand of France are to meet in England to discuss measures to be taken if Germany falls to meet the demands. It has been reported France would insist on the occupation of additional territory and other penalties in the event of failure to comply. What steps Germany has taken to meet the demands or to what extent new reparations proposals have been prepared are not known here. From the urgent nature of the German appeal it was the belief of some officials and diplomats that the Berlin government found itself in an extreme position. Chicago.—The national headquarters of the American Association for the Recognition of the Irish Republic has started an intensive nation-wide drive to enlist a million new members. This followed the close of their convention here in which 5,000 delegates from all over the country participated. Resolutions asking Congress to recognize the Irish "republic" were passed during the closing hours of the convention. Discover Bomb Factory Under Ground, Scranton, Pa.—Arrest of a suspect in the Wall street bomb case in Scranton followed discovery by local police of an underground passage, which, it is believed, may once have led to a subterranean chamber used by makers of infernal machines. Hays Revokes Age Rule. Washington.—Revocation of the post-office order fixing retirement age of employés at 62 years for women and 65 years for men, has been announced by Postmaster General Hays. Postal employés eligible for retirement under the act, but who desire to remain in service will hereafter fill out questionnaires and each case will be passed on by the postmaster general's office. Where vacancies exist requiring experienced workers, former employees who resigned may be reinstated.

SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. This is the time of year when parsnips are at their best. Some like them cooked with vegetables in a boiled dinner; others like them cooked tender, cut in halves lengthwise and fried brown in good fat, while there are others cooked with vegetables in a boiled dinner; others like them cooked tender, cut in halves lengthwise and fried brown in good fat, while there are others who think a parsnip fritter is the dish of excellence. To prepare the fritters the vegetable is cooked, then skinned and mashed very fine, seasoned well and a teaspoonful of the mashed parsnip dipped into a fritter batter, then fried in deep fat. These fritters are usually served with some kind of sweet sauce like hot maple syrup. Cheese Souffle.—Prepare a thick white sauce using one-fourth cupful each of flour and fat with one cupful of milk; when cooked and thick, cool and add one-half cupful of grated cheese, three egg yolks, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of paprika, one-half teaspoonful of onion juice. Mix carefully and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of three eggs. Turn into a well-greased baking dish and set this dish into a pan of hot water; bake in a moderate oven until firm in the center. Oysters a la Poulet.—Prepare a poulet sauce by adding one and one-fourth cupfuls of milk to six tablespoonfuls of flour, stirring and mixing well before cooking, then cool slightly and add two well-beaten eggs. Take one pint of oysters, toss in a pan until the edges curl, then drain and add to one-half cupful of mushrooms, or the same amount of celery cut in small pieces, one chopped pimento, one hard-cooked egg also chopped, two tablespoonfuls of melted butter seasoned with salt and pepper, and serve in croustades, made by cutting bread into oblongs and hollowing out the centers; then brush with butter and brown in the oven or toast under the gas flame. Decorate the tops with minced parsley. Prune and Orange Whip—Take three-fourths of a cupful of chopped prunes, one-half cupful of orange pulp, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, three-fourths of a cupful sugar, two tablespoonfuls of gelatin, one-fourth cupful of cold water (in which dissolve gelatin), one cupful of boiling water, one cupful of prune juice. Mix and when thick and sirupy beat until foamy, then pile into a serving dish and chill. Serve with a soft custard or with cream. An aspiration is a joy forever. To have many of these is to be spiritually rich. A GROUP OF GOOD CAKES. A cake which is easy to make if one has a good strong arm to give it the Weary Willie. — No Weary Willie would have the name, and deserve it, who had ever made this cake. Take one cupful of sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a speck of salt, sift three times to blend well. Into a measuring Weary Willie. — No Weary Willie would have the name, and deserve it, who had ever made this cake. Take one cupful of sugar, one and one-half cupfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking powder, a speck of salt, sift three times to blend well. Into a measuring cup drop the whites of two eggs, fill the cup to half measure with softened butter, not melted; then fill to the top with milk and water or just water. Pour the mixture from the cup, adding flavoring; mix well, then beat with a strong spoon or egg beater for seven minutes by the clock. If Willie doesn't get too weary keep at it for ten minutes and the cake will have the most beautiful texture and grain. Bake in layers, color one and leave one white. Use color selected for layer in the iceing which may be used for the filling. Every Day Cake.—Beat four tablespoonfuls of butter to a cream, add one-half cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of chopped raisins, two egg yolks beaten light, one-fourth cupful each of maple and corn sipup, one-half cupful of milk; add one and three-fourths cupfuls of flour, a teaspoonful of cream of tartar, half teaspoonful of soda, one-half teaspoonful of salt and the same of mace, all sifted together. Lastly add the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and turn into a shallow pan. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or raisins, and dredge with one teaspoonful of sugar. Bake one hour or longer, depending upon the depth of the mixture in the pan. Fig Cake.—Take two cupfuls of stale bread crumbs, mix two tablespoonfuls of shortening with three-fourths of a cupful of sugar, a little salt and nutmeg; stir in two well-beaten eggs and the bread crumbs. Fift four teaspoonfuls of baking powder with one cupful of flour; add one-fourth pound of figs and beat well. Turn into a loaf-shaped pan or one with a cone and bake thirty to forty minutes.

HELPEUL TALKS BY THE PRESIDENT. PRESS delivered by President Harding last diplomats from all over the South and Latin from the countries of the Old World, and which Colorado Statesman, a tribute to the great Bolivar, is paid, and also great emphasis laid on Roose Doctrine, with a strong reassertion of the and the protection of young Democracies. The expressions made in respect to nations, cultures and peoples here in this mainland of the world, have a democracy unparalleled in its scope, the following: "We must have a thought for it, 'We need to know each other better, to understand and methods more accurately.' While it is referring to the knowledge that should north and south, yet we do not think it our duty to the amelioration of condition among the words, having a better and clearer understanding of one banner in peace and with good will to grand, yea, a great thing, to develop a country facing possibilities, but if the relationship is going to such development is not uniform, the many permanent maintenance can accrue. It is grodden ground, but can we find encouragement to the President, which if viewed with the true intent into a combination—one, undivided and inseparable of the President: "Herein be for us be to those whom we may help, opportunity to ourselves," places responsibility upon the two the New World, and there can be no greater than acting in strict adherence to the President to very axioms in the life of the two nation profitable, and because it was listened to by the world, surely some good is bound to live or die.

Is it from being in the order of inexperience, or from his day, or because of his foreign birth, this latter, as the writings infer, as also the fact holding of it as a new religious force which thereby causing established denominations and fearful of the retention of their jobs with us will say that from our experience of human people and their support of true leadership, a race, to make them unite their forces and in a word, organize to the tune of 5,000 years, is more than a wonder and amounts to We are informed that the Denver Branch, I am strong, having increased largely since the ages among its members—the old, middle, that Negroes are pooling their brains in movement, and our columns are opened for it and if you think race?

We are still ans are opened for its use. Why not reached. In her own words, at a meeting of the Denver Division, No. 118, of this world-wide association, held last Tuesday evening, Mrs. Bond declared: IN THE ADDRESS delivered by President Harding last Tuesday in New York before diplomats from all over the South and Latin American countries, also from the countries of the Old World, and which is reproduced in this issue of the Colorado Statesman, a tribute to the great South American liberator, Simon Bolivar, is paid, and also great emphasis laid on the preservation of the Monroe Doctrine, with a strong reassertion of the President's faith in the same and the protection of young Democracies against oppression and tyranny. A few of the expressions made in respect to nations, can be fittingly applied to the races and peoples here in this mainland of the U. S. A., and the results would be a democracy unparalleled in its scope, unlimited in its bounds, as in the following: "We must have a thought for all mankind," said the President, "We need to know each other better, to understand peoples and institutions and methods more accurately." While we are aware that the President is referring to the knowledge that should exist between the Americans north and south, yet we do not think it out of place to apply this doctrine to the amelioration of condition among the races of our country; in other words, having a better and clearer understanding of dwelling together under one banner in peace and with good will to all as American citizens. It is a grand, yea, a great thing, to develop a country, its commerce, its great producing possibilities, but if the relationship at heart between those races catering to such development is not uniform, then it seems hardly possible that any permanent maintenance can accrue. It is not necessary to go over the trodden ground, but can we find encouragement in these times by sayings of the President, which if viewed with the true American spirit, would form us into a combination—one, undivided and inseparable. The very pertinent expression of the President: "Herein be for us both duty and opportunity; duty to those whom we may help, opportunity in helping others, also to help ourselves," places responsibility upon the two great countries and nations of the New World, and there can be no greater or better assurance of success than acting in strict adherence to the President's words, which at this time amount to very axioms in the life of the two nations. Surely the address was profitable, and because it was listened to by representatives from all parts of the world, surely some good is bound to result. Let us hope. WHY ALL THIS OPPOSITION TO MARCUS GARVEY? WE ARE following this propaganda more closely every day, and we have come to the place where we are compelled to ask, "Why is all this opposition to Marcus Garvey?" If we quote correctly, as we are informed, first the propaganda was thought ridiculous, then the platform was imaginary, and the idea far-fetched and 1,000 years in advance of its time; the leader of the Movement was a fanatic and lived in the realm of his own conceit, and many other harsh and unfavorable criticisms. While we did not publish glaring headlines and institute sensational actions on behalf of this movement, yet from time to time in our editorial column, we suggested and advised our readers not to judge the movement by the opposition of a few, or engage in denouncement of the project, as the action of the people (especially because of its universal feature) would soon determine whether it ought to live or die. Following the arguments, expressions of opinions, etc., from various Negro editors, also articles from the pen of white writers in newspapers and magazines, we find ourselves confronted with the question: Why is all this opposition to Marcus Garvey, the founder of an organization that is endeavoring to make the Negro feel himself a man, live a man, act a man, the originator of a propaganda that offers to the members of his race the only, relief from serfdom, the only refuge from the enemy? Is it from his youth which generally is placed in the order of inexperience, or from his lack of business ability as some say, or because of his foreign birth, this latter apparently being the arch motive, as the writings infer, as also the fact that the people seem to be taking hold of it as a new religious force which is driving them together, and thereby causing established denominations and church dignitaries to become fearful of the retention of their jobs with the people? All we can say and will say that from our experience of human nature, the knowledge of our people and their support of true leadership, that anything that grips a people, a race, to make them unite their forces numerically, pool their resources and in a word, organize to the tune of 5,000,000 members in three and a half years, is more than a wonder and amounts almost to superhuman efforts. We are informed that the Denver Branch, No. 118, numbers over 100 members strong, having increased largely since the Brooks' visit, and the variety in ages among its members—the old, middle age and young—causes one to feel that Negroes are pooling their brains also. We are still following the movement, and our columns are opened for its use. Why not "From early in life, when I saw the burden to be lifted and the difficulties that my people had to overcome on account of COLOR over which they had no control, I yearned for relief, and through it seemed as if every hope would have been shattered when leader after leader would compromise and go down to defeat, yet I continued praying and hoping, and I am glad to live to have a realization even in part, of a leader who is shaping our ends to victory. I am glad to be identified with the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and adhering to its motto, One God! One aim! One destiny! I am very confident that this is the logical means of our salvation—the uniting of our ability in every feature for the maintenance and protection of ourselves." CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER CEL EBRATES 25TH ANNIVERSARY. Silver Jubilee Week Opens April 24th With a series of meetings beginning with a celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 7 o'clock, again at 9 and a notable high mass at 11, Sunday morning, the Church of the Redeemer will open its silver jubilee week in a most eventful manner. There will be meetings of varying character throughout the entire week. Rev. Fr. H. E. Rahming, who came to this parish the last of December, has done a remarkable work in this short period. He is a broad-gauged public spirted Christian young man who has won friends upon every hand. He has gathered a great working force around him and every auxiliary of the church is working in a way that means success. Many improvements have been made in the interior, including electric lights, and the choir has been built up to a place of real worth. During jubilee week he will be assisted in his services by Fr. Haldeman of St. Andrew's Church, Rev. Fr. Stanley and others. The social features of the week will be a dinner Tuesday at 6 o'clock, by the Girls' Friendly Society, and a Silyer Jubilee reception on Wednesday night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Victor Walker, Dr. and Mrs. Terry and Mr. and Mrs. Chester Stell assisting. The church board recently purchased the residence adjoining present property which will be used as a home for the rector, and the present vicarage will be converted into a parish house. Y. M. C. A. NOTES Bondurant and King are still in the lead in the drive for funds, which is now drawing near a close. Owens is next, with Bell a close third with Parks and Lightner. The trouble has been in getting workers, not in getting responses. The people have responded splendidly—even beyond expectation; not in large sums, to be sure, but the feeling is that they are doing the best they can under the circumstances. The members of the committee of management who know of the situation, are greatly pleased with the response the people have made. And if only the workers were sufficient in number, and showed the proper activity, the $3,000 which is needed for the budget of the year would be easily raised. The meeting last Sunday afternoon, while not largely attended, was very good. Secretary Thomas J. Bell spoke on "The Georgia Horrors." He sketched the history of the movement resulting in the recent terrible disclosures, and showed how the state was at fault in not driving the thing off the earth when it made a start some years ago. The baseball team is making rapid progress, and has already made some good records. In a game with the Manual High last Tuesday, the "Y" team won by a score of 17 to 10. More games are scheduled for next week. Owing to the mass meeting opening the membership drive of the N. A. A. C. P. tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon, there will be no meeting at the "Y" at four o'clock. This will give every one chance to help push the drive off. FUNERAL NOTICE DOUGLASS UN DERTAKING CO. Pearsall, Miss Mae Gertrude, late of Roslyn, N.

MONSTER MASS MEETING FOR THE "24TH." At Shorter Church, Sunday, 3 P. M. The Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. will hold a monster mass meeting at Shorter Church Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at which time petitions will be laid before our people in behalf of the soldiers of the Twenty-fourth U. S. Infantry, who took part in the Houston riots. Let every loyal, liberty loving Negro in Denver be on hand and implore the "Lord God of Hosts to be with us yet, lest we forget." That the brave soldiers of the Twenty-fourth refused to stand idly by and see a woman of the race brutally beaten by two white police officers; That for their part in defense of our womanhood nineteen were sentenced to death and later executed; That fifty-six others are today serving LIFE sentences in the Leavenworth penitentiary. Five others are serving sentences of fifteen years each. Their only crime is that they dared be men. We mourned for those put to death. Will we take time to petition the President for those now imprisoned? Will we also dare be men? Already they have suffered too long. Silent Criticism Powerful. Criticism that says not a word counts for most. Those who effectively rebuke us and help us to better living are not they who talk freely to us about our shortcomings, but they who are quietly doing the things we are failing to do.—Exchange.

George Simms of Kansas City, Mo., is the possessor of a fine home, recently purchased from an old Denver. It is commendable of our people in their resolution to become property owners and representative taxpayers in the community. Master Atwell Rose, the young violinist, formerly of this city, but now of Los Angeles, will head an orchestra, which, together with the choir of the First A. M. E. Church (Rev. A. M. Ward, pastor) will present a program at Philharmonic auditorium on May 2. Miss Minnie C. Sanderlin and James B.

A reception will be tendered the young couple at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Chapman as per wedding invitations.

Travick, one of the leading citizens of our community, has acquired nine lots at 2537 South Clayton street, where he intends to erect a beautiful residence. Mr. Travick has made good in Denver for the several years he has been a resident, and we wish him and family every success in his undertaking. The Hipasthia Deroloc Club, composed of sixteen young men, entertained several of their friends at a hard time party last Friday evening at Fern Hall. Thirty couples responded to invitations, and a good time was enjoyed by all present.

GRISGBY, resident of Harmon for many years and well known in fraternal circles, has been appointed to look after the interests of his people in the Building Laborers' Union.

Miss Mills is a graduate of the East Denver high school and is very efficient, while the intended groom is very capable and served with distinction in the late World's war. Hearty congratulations for the young folks are extended by the COLORADO STATESMAN. DANIEL STROTHERS, our famous football star, returned from New York last Tuesday after several months visit with his brother. Mr. Strothers speaks very encouragingly of Negro business enterprises and assists with emphasis that if you have the money to start business with, "It's right there for you." He opines that the "Garvey Movement" seems to be the logical solution of the Negro question, as it has set the world of Negroes thinking, pooling their resources, investing wisely and securing that recognition whereby they will be accepted as men. Glad to see you return, Dan, and we hope to hear from you relative to your experience in the metropolitan city. RUFUS BOLDEN, proprietor of Bolden's Barber shop, returned to the city after an absence of three months in California, where he went to regain his health. He is very much improved and after visiting San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego and Tia Juana, Mexico, is much impressed with the phases of business among his people. While climatic conditions are very favorable to restoration of health, and business on the move, yet Mr. Bolden prefers this portion of the Rocky Mountains to dwell and is of the opinion that Denver holds her own with any other city. The barber's friends are glad to see him again. FAMILY REUNION The Holley Brothers — Rankford coming from Chicago after an absence of about seven years—Miles and Benjamin of Dearfield, Colo., arrived in Denver Friday and Saturday of last week for a reunion with their mother, sisters and other relatives. The family is among the oldest and highly respected residents of this city, and the three brothers are very devoted to their mother and sisters, hence their resolution to meet once more. Dr. Rankford Holley is a practitioner in Chicago, also a musician, and his brothers are farmers of note in the Dearfield Settlement, Colo. They are always happily received and welcomed when they visit Denver. CARD OF THANKS.

EDWARD C. DAVIS, Secretary. MEMORIAL SERVICES. The memorial services and unveiling of a tablet in honor of the late Miss Cleo Irene Hobson, was held last Sunday evening at the Peoples Presbyterian Church. The program consisted of musical numbers and short addresses. Miss Velma Parsons spoke for the Sunday school and told of her splendid work she accomplished in that line of work. Mrs. Carrie Hicks followed for the High School Club of the Y. S., and her eulogy was very befitting to the beautiful character of the deceased and the great loss felt by the organization. Rev. W. H. Thomas of Shorter Chapel also paid a high tribute to the beautiful life she led and the good she had done in the community should be an inspiration for all who knew her. Mrs. M. E. Morrison, on behalf of the choir, told of her association with the deceased and cited many instances of her efforts in promoting the church work to a higher standard. Mr. Gilbert Brickler was also among the speakers who did justice to the deceased. Rev. J. A. Thomas Hazell spoke briefly of her noble character and her unceasing work in the church and community. The musical numbers consisted of a duet by Mesdames Simira Owen and Evelyn Cowan, "Open Wide the Gates," while the choir sang, "The Lord Is My Light" and "When Will Thou Save the People, Lord?" The memory of the deceased will be perpetual in the minds of her many friends on account of her sweet disposition. TWO PROMINENT YOUNG COUPLES STEAL MARCH ON FRIENDS. On last Saturday evening, April 16, at 6 p. m., Mr. James Bondurant Russell and Miss Minnie Sanderlin, Mr. Frank Lenore and Miss Pearl Osborne, quietly drove up to the parsonage and were married by the Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Shorter A. M. E. Church. After the ceremony both couples drove to the Osborne home at 3544 Tennyson street, and were served with a wedding supper. The wedding was a big surprise to their friends. Miss Sanderline is the foster daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Chapman, and is one of the beautiful buds of the younger social set. Miss Osborne, also attractive and beautiful, is a favorite social. Mr. James B. Russell is one of our most worthy and sterling young men and is making good as a letter carrier in the local postoffice. He is active in church work and a member of Shorter Church choir, where his wonderful basso voice can be heard every Sunday morning. Mr. Frank Lenore is also one of our worthy young men and is making good. THE COLORADO STATESMAN congratulates these young people on their early start in married life and wish for them much joy and happiness. PUBLIC TRUSTEE'S SALE 2095. Whereas, Helena C.

Edible Lobster the Favorite. "It is the edible variety of lobsters," remarked the Observer of Events and Things, "which can open their mouths without putting their foot in it." The Telephone Is Back to Normal During the past three or four months there has been a steady improvement in the telephone service, both Local and Long Distance. Congestion of plant has been greatly relieved; intensive training of operating employees has added to operating efficiency, and the morale of our organization's personnel is back to pre-war standards. There is a constant, determined and concerted effort on the part of the employe body to render the "old-time" quality of Telephone Service, and this spirit on their part is being rewarded by the appreciation of a grateful public. Certainly there is no other industry which was affected so adversely by war conditions that has made so rapid a recovery in point of service. We especially call attention to improvement in our Long Distance Service. The long delays occasioned by war-time activities are things of the past. Our long lines afford the most efficient means for the dispatch of business with distant points. By the way, calls on a station-to-station basis will save you at least 20 per cent. as against the cost of calls for a particular person. If you are not fully informed on this point, ask our local manager and he will explain. He will also explain our reduced Evening and Night rates for Long Distance Service.

PRICE COMPLETE $3.00 Ask Your Dealer or Write TARANTELLA CO. Pulttell Building New York PASTOR WINS CHURCH FIGHT J. A. Thomas-Hazell, S. T. B., P. G. H., Exonerated. SCANDAL is lying in state in the People's Presbyterian Church today. And the Rev. Dr. J. A. Thomas-Hazell, S. T. B., P. B. H., D.D., is vindicated. At least such is the verdict of the presbytery of the Presbyterian Church of Colorado, which met in session extraordinary at Brighton yesterday. This austere body completely reviewed the charges of bootlegging, immorality, dishonesty and general misconduct lodged against the pastor by nineteen communicants of the church, and sent him back to his flock fully exonerated. Thus the row, which, the pastor says started when he married last June and disappointed certain young women of the congregation, has been ended. The presbytery uphold the conclusions reached by the "session" of the People's Church that "it could not conscientiously request the Rev, J. A. Thomas-Hazell to tender his resignation, and cited the following reasons, contained in a letter directed to the nineteen petitioners who requested the good pastor's retirement. "First—All the names of the persons on your petition are not members of the People's Church. "Second—Some of the supposed signers of the petition disclaim having singed their names, or authorizing anyone to affix their signatures. "Third—In your alleged charges described. First, it is stated 'on the afternoon of the—— day of April, 1921, Rev. Thomas-Hazell is charged with making improper approaches toward Miss Senetta Goode in the vestry of the church.' The session is absolutely sure that Miss Senetta Goode was not on the premises of the People's Church during the time alleged, and therefore such alleged insult could not have taken place. "Fourth—In your allegations named. Second, the session is of the opinion that the 'two elders,' 'who have had financial differences with the minister,' are members of this body. They have never officially presented their grievances to the court to which they belong. Why they should leave the session and air their grievances to petitioners from the membership of the church and outsiders is difficult to understand. This is un-Preshyterian. "Fifth—Under your citation numbered 'Second,' reference is made to certain petitioners as 'faithful members of long standing in the church,' The sessional record shows that five of these persons were once suspended from the communion of the church. One withdrew from the church for nearly two years. Some of these persons have been restored into communion less than a year, and others between a year and eighteen months. "Sixth—In your citation Third," assertion is made 'that a large number of the members of the church desire the removal of the minister, believing that the best interests of the church will be served.' As a rebuke to such assertion, a counter petition of apparently bona fide members, the ratio being more than two to one, has requested that the services of the Rev. Thomas-Hazell be continued. "Seventh—This same counter-petition draws to the attention of the session that as late as Aug. 8, 1920, both the session and the congregation unanimously commended the Rev. J. A. Thomas-Hazell for the splendid work he has done for a number of years on the field, and wish him long years of usefulness for the future of the parish. Some of your petitioners were among this number, including one of the alleged elders who now has grievances. "Eighth—The session is of the opinion that a number of your petitioners are of a malignant spirit toward the accused, and are personally interested in the conviction of the accused." The letter was signed by James H. Gibbs, director of the session of the People's Church. In an interview with the exonerated pastor this morning, letters were produced wherein he showed that the ill-will of certain members of his congregation had grown out of his sudden marriage last June. The Rev. Thomas-Hazell has been pastor of the People's Church for the past thirteen years, and until last summer was the center of admiring eyes among the feminine members of his congregation. "One of the young ladies in particular," the pastor said, "was Infatuated with me. She was prodded on by an ambitious aunt, and, according to her own letters, dated as far back at April 1920, she wrote: 'I have been around you for a year and have gotten fond of you, and, oh, how I hate to give you up.'"—The Denver Times. Ambergris. For many hundreds of years ambergris has been employed in sacerdotal rites of the church, and with fragrant gums it was formerly burned in the apartments of royalty. To some extent it was used as a medicine and as a flavoring for certain dishes. Nowadays ambergris is utilized almost exclusively in the manufacture of perfumes and the preparation of fine scents being first converted into a tincture by dissolution in alcohol. For Antiquarians to Solve. In discussing the origin of names from occupations an interesting point crops up A man might have been a cooper and his son a weaver, why was the family known as coopers and not weavers? Just ar what point did the appellation crystallize into a name? Careful study has failed to clear up this point. RAISE CHICKENS TO HELP INCOME Excellent Means for Providing Needed Comfort and Home Beauty. YOUNG WOMEN LEAVE FARMS Home Demonstration Agents Exert Much Influence in Pointing Out Ways of Making Money or Producing Food for Family. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The service of the home-demonstration agent, who is supervised by the United States Department of Agriculture and the State Agricultural Colleges, is incorporated by the house, but follows the woman into the garden, the poultry yard, and dairy to assist her in outside tasks when these contribute to home comfort. Judgment as to relative values usually guide the home maker in determining the amount of outdoor work it is profitable for her to do either as a moneymaking scheme or as a means of producing food for the family table. Often when the woman lacks even small resources to bring needed comfort and beauty to the home, such industries as poultry raising and gardening provide the needed increase in income from which all the family may derive benefit. It is poor business from every standpoint, however, if work out of doors means overstrained nerves and muscles resulting from an attempt to take on these duties without releasing any household tasks or if it means neglect of housework or sacrificing attention to children, thus lowering instead of increasing the standard of living. Statistics show that young women are leaving the rural districts for the cities in larger numbers than young men. Where this is true, the influence of the home-demonstration agent has been most telling in helping young women to feel their economic importance in agricultural and home pursuits and in discovering ways of making incomes on the land equal to those that could be earned in shop or factory. Work With Poultry. Poultry work has been promoted in several states through demonstrations along lines of poultry selection, breeding, raising, feeding, housing, culling, canning, preservation of eggs, and cooperative selling of poultry products. Many flocks have been improved when farm women have found through culling demonstrations that 40 per cent of the average flock is nonproductive. Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Missouri and Vermont, carried on intensive poultry culling campaigns in which the home demonstration agents played a prominent part. Schools of instruction were held so that those trained might not only eliminate their own nonproducing birds but teach their neighbors through community demonstrations. In Missouri, 73,765 birds were eliminated from 1,593 flocks culled with an estimated saving of $50,161. In the A worker in protective gear is sorting eggs in a large wooden basket. Eggs Should Be Gathered Often. co-operative buying and selling of eggs, 8 cents a dozen more was received than on the local markets. Community working and trading centers mean much to rural women, not only from the standpoint of economy, time, money, and effort, but as a means of persuading the stay-at-home to walk through her gate and down the road to join her neighbors in some task which is made lighter through co-operation, and from which she returns refreshed and encouraged with new ideas and plans not only for her own housekeeping but for the larger housekeeping of her neighborhood. No amount of socialized work, however, takes the place of real recreation, as it looks too earnestly toward a finished result. Care-free recreation for the delight of the moment eases nervous tension, promotes good fellowship, and is as necessary for the mental and physical pulse of men and women as it is for boys and girls. Home-demonstration agents, where no other agency is meeting this need, are co-operating with farm families in home and community recreation which includes games, chorus singing, dramas, and pageants. RECESS The extension department of the Montana state college, realizing the importance of this, employs a recreation specialist whose work is stimulating a fine social-community spirit in many localities in that state, where homes are so far apart. Montana is thus putting into practice a conviction that is growing everywhere—that, while it is their first business to promote efficiency, this should be looked upon as a means of stimulating a richer and more satisfying rural life by freeing the homemaker's time and energy so that she may give attention to the attractiveness and comfort of her home, the training and companionship of her children, the enjoyment of books and neighbors, and the building up of recreational, social, and educational life of her community. This will increase the percentage of active thinking women of service to society and reduce the percentage of passive slaves of routine, whose tasks cease only to begin again with a new day. FAVOR PLASTER FOR FARM KITCHEN WALL FAVOR PLASTER FOR FARM KITCHEN WALL Most Common and Generally Satisfactory Material. Mortar Must Be Properly Mixed and Applied to Prevent Development of Cracks and Blisters—Light (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The commonest and most generally satisfactory material for the walls and ceiling of the farm kitchen is plaster. The mortar must be properly mixed and applied to prevent the development of cracks and blisters and injury to the surface finish. For the same reason freshly plastered walls should be allowed to dry thoroughly before the finishing surface is applied. Instead of plaster, some of the composition boards that do not warp may be used. They may be painted or papered and varnished, but before this is done nail holes should be filled with plastic filler made for the purpose. Steel wall and ceiling coverings are durable when they are kept well painted to prevent rusting by steam. Tile and vitrified brick, well glazed and matched, afford an excellent wall surface, but they are costly. Metal tiles are cheaper and nearly as satisfactory. The most desirable finish for walls and ceiling is one that will not peel or crack and can be easily washed or very cheaply and readily renewed. A good oil paint gives general satisfaction; it can be brushed off with a dry wall brush or cleaned more thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap. Wall paper, unless varnished, is very easily loosened by the steam from cooking. A wall covering resembling oilcloth is somewhat more expensive, but it is more durable, and has a smooth washable surface. Water must be used very sparingly on a wall covering of this kind, for if it seeps in the seams the wall covering will become loosened. The best color or tint for the kitchen walls is determined by the location and lighting of the room, say household specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Light colors are preferable for dark rooms because they reflect and diffuse the light into darker parts of the room, while dark colors absorb a much larger proportion of the light. Where the principal exposure is toward the south, greenish grays are desirable, but if toward the north or east, with little opportunity for sunshine, the light yellows or creams are better. Two shades of brown often give a satisfactory finish. GIVE PLENTY OF VEGETABLES Material Furnished to Growing Child for Forming Bone and Tissue-- Mild Acids Helpful. Vegetables and fruits are now considered a necessary part of the diet of the child. The reasons are many, but most of them may be summed up by saying that they furnish material needed to form bone and tissue and to regulate body processes. The mild acids which some of them contain help to prevent constipation; so, too, does the cellulose or fiber, especially when it is raw, though its value for this purpose may have been exaggerated in popular literature. Green vegetables are also a valuable means of introducing into the diet mineral matters, particularly iron, in a form in which the body can utilize them. Even at city prices green vegetables have been shown to be an economical source of iron. Leaf vegetables, like spinach, beet greens, kale, etc., have recently been found to contain some of the growth-promoting substances that are found in milk. All Around the House All game should be soaked in salt water over night before cooking. To prevent wool gloves from shrinking, put clothespins in the fingers while they are drying. There is no better substitute for butter in cake baking than chicken fat. It may be used for any purpose for which butter is used except on bread. Electric cooking devices that can be used at the table make the Sunday evening meal pleasant, and permit the serving of hot foods quickly and informally. Rebuilding New Salem, Ill.

O THOSE who know their Lincoln and every good American should read and reread this Bible of Americanism—the name of New Salem, Ill., calls up a chapter in his life that no man can read without smiles and tears—and wonder. T For New Salem was Abraham Lincoln's town during the six years which marked the first stage of his development from "a qualit knight-errant of the ploneers" to "a masterpiece of God." He arrived at New Salem in 1831 "a stranger, friendless, uneducated, penniless boy, working on a flatboat for $10 a month," as he himself put it. In 1837 he left New Salem to take up his law practice in Springfield. In those momentous six years he had transformed himself from an ignorant and uncouth youth of twenty-two to a man of acknowledged promise and ability, with more than a local popularity and an ambition that spurred him to travel far. Those six years were crowded years. It was at New Salem that Lincoln earned his nickname of "Honest Abe"—and incidentally fastened upon himself a burden of debt which he was never able fully to wipe out until his fortieth year, after his election to congress in 1849. It was at New Salem that he was clerk and storekeeper; that he studied grammar and Blackstone; that he was a captain in the Black Hawk war, that he was deputy surveyor, that he was postmaster, that he was defeated and then elected for the legislature. And it was at New Salem that he loved and wooed and lost Ann Rutledge, over whose death he nearly lost his reason from grief. New Salem was founded in 1828. Soon after Lincoln went to Springfield the little town began to decline. Its people left for more accessible places. By 1845 New Salem had been abandoned. Today, under the auspices of the Old Salem Lincoln League, an organization formed in 1917, "Honest Abe's" town is being restored in facsimile. It will be in every possible detall like the New Salem which he knew. Old maps, old prints, old deeds—every record obtainable—have been consulted to make the new village an exact reproduction of the old. The only new building is the Lincoln museum. William Randolph Hearst gave the property. The cost of rebuilding is being met by popular subscription. The work will be done some time this summer. It is expected. Old Salem State Park. Old Salem State park will be New Salem's new name. Its purpose is to preserve for posterity the environment and atmosphere that helped make Lincoln, the man. As to the photographs here reproduced: The portrait of "Honest Abe" is one of the earliest photographs he had taken and gives the best idea of his appearance as a young man. The numbered plan is from the architect's working model. New Salem, first called Cameron's Mill, was on the Sangamon river (then spelled Sangamo and pronounced Sangamaw), 20 miles northwest of Springfield. In those days New Salem was in Sangamon county, with Springfield as the county seat. Springfield itself was still a mere village, having a population of 1,000, or perhaps 1,100. The capital of the state was yet at Vandala, and waiting for the parliamentary tact of Abraham Lincoln and the "long nine" to take it to Springfield. The historian of the restoration project says that the first settlers of New Salem were John M. Cameron and his uncle, James Rutledge, who entered their claims on July 29, 1828. Here they erected their grist and saw mills, both housed in one structure built out into the Sangamon river, that fringed the town site. New Salem grew up around this mill. Settlements existed already at Clary's Grove, at a place now called Athens, at Sugar Grove and at Indian Point, all within ten or twelve miles of New Salem. With a mill to attract these settlers, the opportunity for business at the new settlement LINCOLN & BERRY GROCERY ON LEFT; MOSCOLN HILL & McNAMER STORE was good, and Samuel Hill and John McNellis presently erected a store building of logs. They sold tea, coffee, sugar, salt and whisky in the grocery line, and blue calico, brown muslin, cotton chain and straw hats, with a few ladies' hats and other ornamental feminine apparel in their dry goods department. John McNellis's right name was John McNamer. He quickly made a "fortune" of about $12,000 and wooded and won Ann Rutledge. Then he left to bring his mother and sisters from New York. A long delay broke off the engagement and Lincoln then won Ann. McNamer returned to find Ann dead of fever. Town Gets a Postoffice. "On Christmas day in 1829," the historian goes on to say, "a post office was established in New Salem and Samuel Hill was made postmaster, George Warburton then built a store building and put in a stock of goods, but soon sold out to the Christman Brothers, one of whom, Isaac P., became postmaster on November 24, 1831. William Clary, the brother of John, who gave his name to the grove where he settled in 1819, erected and became proprietor of Clary's grocery. Then came Doctor Allen, who erected a dwelling across the street south from the Hill & McNeill store. "In addition to his professional duties Doctor Allen conducted a Sunday school. He was an ardent temperance man and formed the first temperance society in the community. The place of meeting was in his residence or in the log school-house erected shortly before this time on the hillside south of New Salem. Doctor Allen was bothered as to whether it was right or wrong to engage in the practice of his profession on Sundays and compromised the matter by relieving the sick but giving his earnings on that day wholly to the work of the Lord. "Then, during the summer of 1830, Henry Onstott moved from Sugar Grove, erected a dwelling and established a cooper's shop, supplying the kegs and barrels for the flour and meal made at the mill, and the containers for the cured pork shipped by flatboat to the markets of the South, generally from Beardstown, to which place it was hauled in wagons. Denton Offut Arrives. "During the summer of 1831, Denton Offut, on his return from a flatbat excursion to New Orleans, contracted for lot 14 north of Main street and erected a store building, the deed thereto being dated September 2 of that year. Then came a rush of other settlers—Phillemon Morris, a tanner, erected a dwelling and established a tan yard; Joshua Miller, a blacksmith and wagon maker, built a residence and established a shop; Alexander Furgeson and Peter Lukins, the shoesmakers; Robert Johnson, the wheelwright, who made looms, spinning wheels and furniture; Martin Waddell, the hatter, who made hats out of rabbit fur, wool and the fur of other animals; the Bale family, headed by Jacob Bale, who bought and operated Hill's carding machine and storehouse for wool; the Herndon Brothers, shopkeepers, who established a store west of the James Rutledge residence and inn, and in a part of the house of Joshua Miller, which was double, lived his brother-in-law, Jack Kelso, whose wife kept boarders occasionally and who himself was the champion hunter and fisherman of the village. Henry Since came in the fall of 1831 and sold out at the end of a year to Doctor Regnier. Also came Doctor Duncan, David Wherry, Isaac Burner, Edmond Greer, Isaac Gollamer, Robert and William McNeely. Caleb Carmen moved there from Rock Center after Trent left and made shoes. . . . "Thus the town soon became self-supporting, and had it not been for the fact that it was almost inaccessible except from the west, there is no rea- THE LINCOLN CABIN son why it should not have grown and become the metropolis of the county." Lincoln first saw New Salem in April, 1831, when he and his flatboat crew had their famous adventure on the milldam. He was on his way from Beardstown to New Orleans, where he saw the selling of slaves and said, "If ever I get a chance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard." July 1, 1831, Lincoln walked into New Salem to serve as clerk in the Offutt store, when it should be ready. The town election at that time was held during the first week in August, and Lincoln, being about the polling place, was asked by Mentor Graham, the man who later became his friend and teacher, if he could write. Lincoln replied, "I can make a few rabbit tracks," whereupon he was invited in to assist in keeping tally, the regular clerk having failed to appear. It is said that during the hull in voting Lincoln improved the opportunity to tell stories. So here was Lincoln's introduction to politics. But he was a finished story-teller even then. "Tom" Reed of Maine, the famous speaker of the house of representatives, once said, "A statesman is a successful politician who is dead." The humor and sarcasm of this are exceeded only by its value as a popular gauge of politics and politicians. But where Abraham Lincoln is concerned all signs fall. He was a consummate politician all his life, and he never hesitated to seek public preferment. Lincoln's First Campaign. After "Honest Abe" had been in New Salem a year or so he ran for the state legislature. He had already learned to write, as is shown by his announcement of his candidacy, which concludes thus: this. "Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not, I can say, for one, that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellowmen by rendering myself worthy of their esteem. How far I shall succeed in gratifying this ambition is yet to be developed. I am young and unknown to many of you. I was born and have ever remained in the most humble walks of life. I have no wealth or popular relations or friends to recommend me. My case is thrown exclusively upon the independent voters of the county; and if elected, they will have conferred a favor upon me for which I shall be unremitting in my labors to compensate. But if the good people in their wisdom shall see fit to keep me in the background, I have been too familiar with disappointments to be very much chagrined." Well, Lincoln was beaten by Peter Cartwright, the itinerant preacher whom he defeated in 1846 for congress. But New Salem went for "Honest Abe" with 277 votes out of the 290 cast. And two years later he was triumphantly elected. Nobody ever saw any difference between the Abraham Lincoln of New Salem and the Abraham Lincoln of the White House. He never changed. Moreover, there was something in his lowly origin and in the story of his life that brought him close to the people as one of them. And in the development of the man there is no more fascinating chapter than New Salem, 1831-37.

LITTLE LADIES’ SUMMER DRESSES — Ma Jy | yes Hi 4 yf) | . ’ ij*4 SESS colored floss provides cross stitch or outline embellishment and sometimes quuint, small flower motifs, Odd-shaped pockets are featured on all sorts of dresses. The pretty dress at the right mighy be made up In white or light colors A strap decoration on the shonlders and at the front and back at the waist line Invites an embellishment which appears In a little simple embrotdery. Button-holed slashes at the ends of the waist straps allow a sash to slip through them, tied in a buoyant bow, with loops and ends at the left side. The very young ladies’ spring and summer frocks, for dress-up wear, are most enticing when made of organdy in gay colors. Little ruffles of or- gandy trim them but thelr chief glory Is found in small clusters of organdy flowers, In several colors, posed on each pocket, or on the girdte. There are many long-waisted frocks and gay ribbons add their enchantment to the other delightful details of organdy, swiss or batiste dresses. Durk blue or black taffetas have allurements In em- broidery as clusters of red silk cher- ries or cross-stitch patterns In colored ae eo they may, something still remains for moth- ers to make for their little ones, but the work {s not much of a task when the matter of material and style are decided on. In materials we find plain chambray, small plaid and checked ginghams, light and dark sateens, dot- ted swisses, voiles, organdies and taf- fetas, all in pretty, live colors (with a spice of black and navy blue) make up the color story as told by the uhops; chambrays, ginghams and sa- teens for utility clothes; organdies, swisses and taffetas for special oc- casions, For the small fry, from two to six years old, rompers divide favor with dresses and the latter are provided with bloomers or short pants to match. Nothing ts in greater favor than amus- ing little peg-top bloomers of plain chambray, in blue, green, ght brown or other colors, made with round neck and elbow sleeves. Very simple stitch- ery Is the usual finish for them, Dresses with bloomers to match are cut either in the smock pattern with small yoke, or with a short bodice and knee-length skirt.

The rich-looking coat at the right is a compromise between the cape and dolman styles that are arffully com- bined in it. The dolman sleeves are cleverly cut and set in and are cov- ered with a bold pattern in solid em- broidery. This embroidery reappears on the long shawl collar which is prov- ing a great success on coats and many other garments this season. Besides the staple colors, as navy, dark brown, gray, these darker coats are shown In other pleasing shades and among them certain soft blues ar@ favored. Shades of beige and taupe are elegant and always a safe choice, harmonizing with everything. ‘The coat pictured is In dark blue lined with plain satin. PO gba a T HOSE who have postponed the ac- quirement of a spring coat until now, may congratulate themselves that the styles are crystalized and that therefore It Is easy to make a choice. Coat styles have gone from good to better and it will take a captious and hypercritical person to journey far in the displays without growing enthus!- astic over the last offerings of the designers. There are several good, distinet styles to choose from, with those showing the Influence of the cape, dominating the season, This feature is given prominence fn the handsome coat shown at the left of the two illustrated here. The body of the cont Is full and hangs straight with ripple at the bottom, in the man- ner of a long cape, the sleeves simu- late a shorter cape and the embrol- dery, used for embellishment, follows the lines of a still shorter cape, or deep cape collar. By these means the de- signer affirms his approval of cape styles in coats and accomplishes a graceful germent.
