HAMPTON, VA., April 25.—That the Negro is entitled to equal and exact justice before the law and that the white man must accord him that justice or be false to all Anglo-Saxon traditions was the opinion expressed by the Hon. Thomas W. Bickett, former governor of North Carolina, in his recent address delivered at the closing session of the fifty-third anniversary of Hampton Institute, over which Principal J. E. Gregg presided. Governor Bickett said: "Though only fifty-three years old, Hampton Institute has achieved the unique and noble distinction of becoming at once a fountain and a shrine. From it are constantly flowing streams that make waste places glad, and from every quarter of the continent weary pilgrims come to Hampton Institute for a new birth of courage, faith and love. "The Negro who has to get an order from a white man before he can buy a sack of meal or a side of meat is almost as much a slave as the man who had to get a permit before he could leave his master's land. The Negro as a race will not travel far until his credit in store or in bank is as good as that of the white man. "All during my administration the hand of executive clemency knew no color line. I opened the prison doors to more than 400 Negroes. During my administration I preached against lynching, and I fought against lynching. I rushed troops to protect prisoners, leaders of mobs were indicted and convicted, and I personally walked into a mob and persuaded men to abandon their purpose." STRIKES AT KU KLUX. "In this free country the message that cannot be proclaimed from the houselot ought not to be heard by a loyal American citizen. The Ku Klux Klan believes in the whisper, and that is one of the reasons why, when the strong mep from Texas tried to establish the Ku Klux Klan in North Carolina, I rose up and hit it with all my might and drove it from our borders. Listen to your leaders who proclaim their message from the pulpit and through the local press. When the whispering agitator comes around, say to him: 'Get the behind me, Satan.' A CANDID CONFESSION. A CANDID CONFESSION. "Let me make a candid and solemn confession. The whites in the South, and in the North as well, do not always deal justly by the Negro. We sometimes do him wrong—and God knows I am ashamed of it—but violence will not hasten the day of your deliverance and hate will always hinder. The God of your redemption will come, not in the mighty wind, not in the earthquake, and not in fire, but in a 'still, small voice' that will trouble the white man's conscience and drive sleep from his eyes, until he gives to your people the fullest measure of justice. The one safe path for the Negro to follow is the path that leads straight to the door of the white man's conscience. Some day every plea that is born of wisdom and justice will be allowed. "While hate and wrath will lead to failure and destruction, love and faith will surely conquer. My message and my prayer to both races is this: 'Love one another, and all these things will be added unto you.'" ERA OF NEGRO PROSPERITY. Dr. Talcott Williams of New York, well-known publicist and former director of the Pulitzer School of Journalism, Columbia University, pald a warm tribute to Governor Bickett's "great deliverance of truth, justice and hope." Dr. Williams, in his address on "Economic Independence Through Industry," stated to the Hampton graduates that the economic conditions of Negroes are better than they have ever been before and that wages will probably not be reduced more than one third. He referred to the so-called "dreary years" in the South, 1865-1885, when colored men worked for 50 cents a day and colored women worked for twelve hours a day. He stated that Negroes have earned more wages in the last decade than they had earned in the previous fifty years. Dr. Williams said: "A Hampton graduate has the duty of becoming the economic leader of his race. In economic independence there must be peace and harmony between the two races. The advance in wages in the four years which you have been at Hampton has been largest for the day laborer and larger for skilled labor than professional labor. When the serious losses of 1920 and 1921 come to be reckoned, you will find that the proportionate advance has been greater for the day laborer, the small farmer, and the small mechanic, than for any others in the community. The margin of saving in the next five years is going to be wider than it has ever been before, owing to the fall in prices. It is for you to decide whether this fortune circumstance shall leave you at the end of five years with something to show for this opportunity. There has never been a time in the history of your race when so many owned the bonds to which you so freely subscribed. The habit of investing is growing. This is the way in which you will reach independence." ARMSTRONG'S DISCOVERY. Dr. Francis G. Peabody of Harvard University, who presented the graduating class (forty-two boys and forty girls) to the Hampton Institute board of trustee, of which he is the first vice president, declared that "the great discovery of General Armstrong was that education meant bringing the whole boy, the whole girl to committing the whole of life to the service of the world. The creed of Hampton has brought before us the three-fold nature of education—to think straight, to act promptly, to open the heart to the persuasion of love. No student graduates from Hampton who cannot earn his own living by his hands; no student graduates from Hampton, however much handwork he or she may do, who does not reinforce that hand- work with the cultural studies that give decision, definiteness and facility to the mind." EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY. During the anniversary celebration William Howard Taft, chairman of the Hampton Institute board of trustees, in his address on "The Discipline of Labor," referred to the growing idea of giving more and more men equality of opportunity. "I believe that legislation," said Mr. Taft, "may be more or less helpful in increasing the equality of opportunity, but the question is have you the courage, the character, the spirit of self-sacrifice, and the foresight individually to improve that equality of opportunity?" Mr. Taft emphasized the value of men making sacrifice in order to win success, the intimate relation of intelligent labor and material independence, and the close relation of happiness to service for others. NEED OF LEADERS. Dr. Sara W. Brown, who is a teacher of biology in the Dunbar High School. Washington, D. C., and who was graduated from Hampton in 1887, pointed out the following significant comparison: "One physician to 3,194 Negroes and 553 whites; one dentist to 20,500 Negroes and 2,070 whites; one college president or professor to 40,611 Negroes and 5,301 whites; one lawyer, judge or justice to 12,315 Negroes and 718 whites, and one school teacher to 334 Negroes and 145 whites." President Nannle H. Burroughs of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Washington, D. C., in her address on "Hampton's Spiritual Meaning" said: "Hampton's big desire for you is that you shall be just as fine as any group of American citizens. Hampton is trying to make men and women who can express the ideals of civilization of which they are a part. Hampton stands for manhood, womanhood, character and service. People of our day who amount to anything are valuing people, not because of the junk or plumber they own, but they are valuing them for the fine things that are within and for the real physical, moral and spiritual contributions they can make to the world. Hampton is building for a greater civilization." THE GIFT OF A HACE. The Rt. Rev. James de Wolf Perry, Bishop of Rhode Island, declared that "the call of Hampton is the call of the need of our country, for there is in your hearts and in your hands a contribution to make to the life of our country. There is an industrial idea which you have given to the country and a vision of an America, united, strong of hand, and with a spirit in her heart in which you are going to take a certain part that no one else in this broad land is going to take." TEACHING BY DEMONSTRATION. The Hampton anniversary program included two meetings of the board of trustees, a tour of inspection by a large party of school guests, and addresses, including demonstrations, by the following members of the graduating class: Frank B. White, "The Making of Coats;" Eliza V. Gordon, "The Preservation of Eggs;" Doctor C. Jones, "A Paradox;" Arabelle Washington, "Hard and Soft Water;" Lillian St. C. Brosier, "Good Taste in Dress;" Clarence C. Blow, "The Fear of Facing Conditions;" Susannah Boer, "In Spite of Handicaps;" Lawrence C. Potts, "How to Judge Good Laying Hens." Many men and women passed through the Armstrong-Slater Memorial Trade School and saw the work of the eleven departments which was exhibited graphically by the use of finished products. Students were at work demonstrating Hampton's practical methods of training tradesmen. There were also exhibits of modern tools and equipment, working drawings and tests which builders commonly use. Under the leadership of Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York, who is a Hampton trustee and president of the National Hampton Association, a special party of Northern friends attended the anniversary. William G. Willcox of New York, who is chairman of the Tuskegee Institute board of trustees, brought to Hampton from Tuskegee a SECOND PAN-AFRI CAN CONGRESS TO MEET IN LONDON. BRUSSELS AND PARIS. 25 Nations to Be Represented at Gathering of Colored Races of the World. Dr. Du Bois, Secretary, Outlines Plans and Predicts Renaissance of Negro Culture. PROBABLY twenty-five nations are to be represented at the Second Pan-African Congress which is to have sessions next fall in three foreign capitals, according to announcement made today at the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. 70 Fifth avenue, New York. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who was seen at the offices of the association, speaking as secretary of the Congress, made public the following statement about the Congress: "At the invitation of two secretaries of the Palais Mondial in Brussels, Senator Henri Lafontaine of Belgium and Paul Otlet, also of Belgium, who is popularly known as the 'Father of the League of Nations,' the Second Pan-African Congress will hold one of its sessions in the city of Brussels. The Congress will open with a preliminary conference in London on August 28 and 29, at which there will be a meeting with representatives of the Aborigines Protection Society, the London Missionary Society, the British Labor Party, the West India Committee, and organizations of Negroes like the African Progress Union. This is to be followed by a three-day session in Brussels, on August 31 and September 1 and 2. Here delegates from the following regions are to be heard: French West Africa, British West Africa, Liberia, Portuguese West Africa, South Africa, the Sudan, the English and French West Indies, Guiana, Haiti and the United States." Final Session in Paris. "At the final session of the Pan-African Congress, which is to be held in Paris on September 4 and 5, there will be appointed a grand committee representing colored people of the world, to wait upon the representatives of the League of Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Plans are also to be completed for a permanent headquarters for the Pan-African Congress." party of Northern friends. These parties were met at Hampton by a number of leading Southerners. HAMPTON ATHLETIC FIELD. The Hampton Institute alumni, who are engaged in raising a fund of $30,000 to provide Hampton with a modern and well-equipped athletic field, which will cover six acres, accommodate 20,000 people, and serve the entire colored student bodies in the eastern half of the United States, attended a reunion luncheon and made additional pledges. The president of the Hampton Athletic Field Association is Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; the chairman of the executive committee is Charles H. Williams of Hampton Insectite, and the treasurer is Don A. Davis of Hompton Institute. WHAT THE NEGRO HAS DONE (From the San Francisco Call and Post, John Francis Neylan, Publisher.) A READER of this newspaper writes to ask: "Just what tribute has the Negro paid to society for his freedom? How much has it to do with the balancing of the scoles of the freedom of all mankind? Has he paid his tithes as other races have paid theirs? Has he advanced by his own brain and will power, or by minicery? Where are his arts? His sciences? His music? His drama? His inventions? How much has the Negro had to do in perpetuating the rights of other men? Born and bred in the land of the free, has he since freedom advanced as far or as rapidly as, for example, the Cubans? The Filipinos? The Mexicans? . . . In all the world, where nothing is new under the sun, what has he produced, what single achievement has he added to the sum total of human achievements, since having obtained that freedom?" Here are questions from a Southerner, who believes as deeply and as sincerely as a man can believe that there is no answer to his questions except the admission that the Negro has given nothing to the world in which he lives. He is not asking for information; he is giving it by means of questions. But almost any fairly informed Negro could give him a few bits of valuable information. He could tell him these things: If the World war was fought to balance the scales in favor of freedom for mankind the Negro did his share. In the United States alone there were 342,277 in the various services; and it is worth noticing that the percentage of Negroes accepted was 31.7, compared with 26.8 for the white men. In the Revolutionary war there were 775 Negro soldiers; in the War of 1812 more than 2,000 and, naturally enough, 178,975 in the Civil war. But these are the enterprises of war—whatever their purpose—and they imply little of qualifications for the occupations of peace. Turn to other facts, not forgetting, however, that Negroes bought Liberty loan bonds worth $200,000,000. One hundred years ago there were only three Negro college graduates. Today there are 7,000, and thirty-five of these have been elected to Phi Beta Kappa, the scholarship honor society. At that time there were no Negro schools. Today there are between six and seven hundred. In music there is Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, who ranks high among composers; in poetry, Paul Laurence Dunbar—a fine spirited genius; on the stage, Ira Aldbridge, who has been called the greatest Othello that ever acted the part. And the actor, Gilpin, who is now appearing in New York in "Emperor Jones," is considered by the members of his profession to be one of the greatest actors in America. There are seventy-two Negro banks in this country, thirty-six Negro insurance companies, 218,972 Negroes who own farms, and more than 50,000 who are business men. The correspondent asks what are the Negro's inventions. Perhaps he does not know that by 1910 more than 2,000 patients had been granted to Negroes—ranging from a corn harvester in 1834 to a gas mask in 1917. A Negro aided Eli Whitney in inventing the first machine for attaching soles to shoes. A Negro holds many of the important NO29 AFFECT OF NEGRO LABOR WHILE 19.33 per cent of unskilled Negro labor in the country joined the army of unemployed during the last three months of industrial depression, only 2.63 per cent of the skilled labor was thus affected. This is a most interesting deduction from an emergency survey of selected industries made by the Department of Labor. "This fact," summarizes the report, "is strong evidence of the growing inclusion and retention of colored workers and should act as an encouraging sign to colored labor that gained a foothold in the skilled group." Disposition to apply themselves to early road construction and repairing and to return to agricultural pursuits has had an effect to reduce in some measure the number of colored unemployed. Reports from Richmond, Va., say that a revival of the building industry of that place has reduced the number of involuntary unemployed people among colored workers to practically zero The Calumet district, of which Chicago is the center, leads in the number of colored unemployed, with an approximation of 15,000. In Michigan the unemployment of colored is given as having been decreased by 2,530. In the Pittsburgh district estimates indicate that the average unemployed colored labor is 4,500. On March 31, 1921, in that district, there were 2,000 of these workers "absolutely unemployed." NEW FEATURE IN MAY NUMBER OF THE COMPETITOR. The Competitor has added a new feature. The April number devoted three pages to a digest of editorial comment by leading Negro papers on the change of administrations. The showing was commendable and the Competitor deserves credit for bringing to the people in this attractive way the pth of the editorial expression of so many of our papers. Now, the May issue comes forward with selected editorials from the colored press on the Williams' Murder Farm and Peonage in Georgia. Mr. Walter S. Buchanan, who edits this part of the Competitor, sought to show that the colored press is not rabid and revengeful, but that it cautions patience and dependence upon law and order. As Mr. Buchanan well says, "The white press might learn a good lesson from the fact that the colored papers never play up lynchings and other horrible crimes of the stranger race against the weaker in a way to make the colored people bitter and revengeful." The Competitor has reduced its news stand price from 25c to 20c per copy. In doing this it has followed the downward trend of prices, as have several of the white magazines. player piano patents, and another Negro, Granville T. Woods, owned fifty patents for railroad appliances. These facts come from a casual rummaging of the Negro Year Book, printed by the Tuskegee Institute. But what facts to equal these could be found in a Cuban Year Book, Mexican Year Book, or Philippine Year Book—when one considers the quality of the freedom that has been granted to the Negro? Yes, he has been free in a legal sense, but, in fact, he has been imprisoned more closely than any other race has ever been by the cruel walls of racial prejudice. The Negro needs no other defense than a bare recital of his accomplishments during the seventy years of partial freedom. FOREIGN The Tivoll gambling establishment, one of the largest of the kind ever operated in Mexico, has closed its doors in compliance with orders from Governor Enriquez of Chihuahua. The place has been in operation since the first of the present year and during that time paid $500,000 gold in license fees to the state government. Physicians of Dublin, regardless of politics, have ignored the order of the government military authorities to report at once the arrival in hospitals of persons suffering from gunshot wounds. Thus far no proceedings have been taken against them. The order was intended to aid the military in identifying their attackers, many of whom escape though wounded. Reports from Paris from an authoritative source say the Council of the League of Nations has decided to award the Aland islands to Finland, Sweden insisted on ownership of the islands, but the decision states that "Finland's right is incontestable." The soviets refuse to recognize the allocation of the islands to anyone except Russia, as they control the entrance to Petrograd. Rene Viviani, special French envoy, en route home, in a wireless message of congratulations to the American Legion, its national commander, Col. F. W. Galbraith, Jr., and General Pershing, invited the legion men to visit France and declared he never would forget the "courageous soldiers" of America. "Among the great people who love them, they will find anew the image of the great country which they honor," the message concluded. Dr| Koudish, Russian Soviet representative at Constantinople, who was given a British passport vise to go to London to confer with Leonid Krassin, Soviet minister of trade and commerce, was assaulted and beaten by a Russian colonel while dining with his wife in a restaurant. The colonel exclaimed: "How dare you drink champagne among the victims of Soviet Russia!" British police who were called in told Koudish: "You are free to strike back." He demanded British official protection. Riccardo Zanella, leader of the Flume people's party and head of the communistic faction in the Italian elections, by a coup d'etat, occupied the city hall at Flume. Count Caccia Dominione, the Italian minister, left Flume aboard a torpedo boat destroyer owing to the rioting. The frontier has been closed by a brigade of infantry. When the Autonomists claimed they hay won the election by more than a thousand votes, Zanella and his forces stormed the city hall and ejected the old administration. GENERAL Filling stations in the Middle West have dropped gasoline from 25 to 22 cents a gallon, it was announced by the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. Gasoline at tank wagons is now 20 instead of 23 cents. Plans for recruiting harvest hands in Kansas this season were discussed at a conference of heads of employment agencies in the various cities and the labor department of the industrial court. It was estimated 40,000 to 50,000 men would be required to gather the 1921 crop. Reports from districts swept by a violent windstorm shows that the counties of Hamilton, Webster and Adams were visited and the property damage is considerable. Fifty farms within a radius of twenty-five miles of Hastings, Neb., were swept. On a number of farms the barns and outbuildings were completely destroyed and the houses damaged. On several farms horses and sheep were either killed or injured. In the vicinity of Guide Rock the wind took the form of a tornado, unroofing several houses and in one or two instances completely destroying them. Cutt off from the fortune of George M. Oyster, the widow, Mrs. Cecil Ready Oyster of Syracuse, N. Y., will wage a bitter legal battle for a large part of the estate, it was predicted here when word came from Atlantic City that Oyster shortly before his death had executed a codicil to his will by which the society girl he-married January 15 was disinherited. With the definite selection of "Boyle's thirty acres," adjoining Montgomery park in Jersey City, as the site of the arena for the Dempsey-Carpentier heavyweight championship bout July 2, training plans of the contestants were laid accordingly. It is generally understood that the champion will select Atlantic City, while the Frenchman will train on Long Island. Miss Lucia Russell Briggs, daughter of Lebaron Russell Briggs, president of Radcliffe College, and dean of the faculty of arts and sciences at Harvard, has been chosen president of Milwaukee Dower College at Milwaukee, Wis. She succeeds Miss Ellin C. Sobin. Miss Briggs is a graduate of Radcliffe, and since 1915 has been connected with the English department at Simmons College. Papers filed in the county clerk's office at Buffalo, N. Y., state that Ethel J. Mahan, owner of a grocery store, became so worried over fear that the government would confiscate her business, because of possible errors in her income tax report, that she lost her mind. She was committed to the state hospital for the insane by Acting Judge Ottoway. Floods threatened several parts of Milwaukee and residents of the south shore faced the loss of their homes through continued crumbling of the shore as the result of steady rains. NEWS TO DATE IN PARAGRAPHS CAUGHT FROM THE NETWORK OF WIRES ROUND ABOUT THE WORLD. DURING THE PAST WEEK RECORD OF IMPORTANT EVENTS CONDENSED FOR BUSY PEOPLE. WESTERN Francis M. Goodwin of Spokane, Washington, has been nominated by President Harding to be assistant secretary of the interior. "He spanked me so hard that for a long time I couldn't sit down," testified Mrs. Irene Gerstad, known on the screen as Irene DeVoss. She was granted a divorce in Los Angeles from Harry W. Gerstad, welder of the hefty palm. In addition, Gerstad, a motion-picture camera-man, was ordered to pay her $30 a week. Dancing in the cafes of San Francisco's once-famed uptown tenderloin ceases May 1 by an order promulgated by the police commission. The order forbids further dancing in the Pup and Black Cat cafes, the last two of a score of establishments in the once-noted district, and leaves only a few resorts, all in the Barbary Coast, where dancing is permitted. Carl Nordlander, 16 years old and an orphan, was found asphyxiated in his room in San Francisco. The police version of his death was that he lost his life through his devotion to art. Lacking the prepared charcoal which artists use for drawings, he apparently had been charring in a gas jet splinters of wood to finish a drawing which was found uncompleted in the room, but had retired without turning the jet entirely off. Tagged for a journey of several thousand miles by bont and rall. Tommy Bradford, 9, and his sister, Margie, 5, are on their way to their father in Calgary, Alberta. They were shipped by the prosecuting attorney of Seattle, Wash. Held as security for a board bill, according to information reaching the prosecutor from the father and the American consul at Calgary, the children had been with Mrs. H. E. Sloan at Roy since she brought them from Calgary last summer. Mrs. Sloan gave them up as soon as an officer called. A collection was taken up to aid the children in their journey. WASHINGTON Secretary Denby has asked for $25,000 for use in obtaining a historical pictorial record of the American fleet in foreign waters during the war. Should the money be provided, the secretary said, Burnell Poole, an artist, would be engaged to do the work. By direction of President Harding the federal reserve board has undertaken a special inquiry into the problem of deflating industrial values with out serious injury to the agricultural interests. It is understood that some steps to aid agriculture in connection with the deflation trend may be taken by the board in the near future. After having reposed with moth bails for a number of years, the principal articles of dress uniform formerly worn in the navy have been restored to use by an order of Secretary Denby. It authorizes the wearing, on stated occasions, of the frock coat, full dress trousers, cocked hat, dress sword and sword belt and epaulets. Special full dress dinner dress and mess dress uniforms were not restored. The House judiciary committee ordered a favorable report on the Volstead bill permitting organization by farmers, ranchmen, dairymen and fruit growers for purposes of collective marketing. The secretary of agriculture would have supervisory powers. A brigade of "railroad artillery" has been sent to the Hawaiian islands for the better protection of that distant post. This force has in large part already arrived and as its name indicates, is intended for instant mobilization in case of emergency. The great problem of the army so far as the island of Oahu and Pearl Harbor are concerned is to safeguard them from sudden attack in the event of war. A vacation trip to the Pacific coast for President Harding late this fall is being urged by some of his friends, and is understood to be receiving favorable consideration. The President is said to have indicated that if he finds opportunity for a vacation this year he will spend it in the Northwest. The northwestern trip first was suggested as part of a trip to Alaska, but it has been indicated that the President has little hope of getting that far away during the present summer. The Interstate Commerce Commission has granted authority to the Northern Pacific and Great Northern Railroad companies to issue $230,000,000 of joint fifteen-year convertable gold bonds at not less than 91.5 per cent, and authorized the company to issue and pledge $33,000,000 of other bonds to aid in securing the joint bonds. The issue was authorized to enable the two roads to retire joint bonds amounting to $215,227,000, issued in 1901 for the purpose of purchasing the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railroad Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado Representatives from all towns between Denver and Colorado Springs met in Limon recently to form an Eastern Colorado Commercial Club.

Potato pickers will be paid 5 cents a sack with board, or 6 cents a sack without board in the section around Montrose next fall, according to a decision reached by members of the farm bureau of the Coal Creek section at a recent meeting. The public schools of Colorado Springs will hold a big May festival at Monument Valley park, May 20. It will be an all-day affair, including music and dances in the morning, a basket picnic at noon and an athletic field day in the afternoon. It will be the largest affair of the kind ever attempted in the city. Farmers of eastern Weld county plan to market their own livestock and have organized the Briggsdale Farmers' Union Shipping Association. Officers elected for the association are: R. W. Bidwell, president; H. P. Kettleson, vice president; A. W. Woolensack, secretary and treasurer, and J. F. Pitney, manager. The Denver Livestock Exchange has voted to aid livestock growers by reducing commission rates at the stockyards. This was decided at a long session at which members urged that the exchange should take the lead in helping the farmer in his drive for lower railroad rates and that a reduction on commission charges would show good faith. James T. Keeney, 47 years old, wealthy land owner of Antonito, shot and killed his 20-year-old wife Pearl, then committed suicide in the home of his wifes mother in Denver. Failure to effect reconciliation between himself and his wife was given as the cause by Mrs. M. B. Welfs, mother of the young woman, who witnessed the tragedy. More than 200 wheat growers, representing all sections of Colorado unanimously adopted the Sapiro marketing plan, providing for a 100 per ceat pool of grain, at a meeting held in Akron.

He has not been heard from since he dropped from sight. Attorney General Keyes has rendered an opinion that the new motor vehicle law enacted by the Twenty-third General Assembly is constitutional. As a result of this ruling Secretary of State Milliken announced that he will appoint eight Republican "supervisors" to replace a like number of Democratic "inspectors" who were employed under the provisions of the old law. Joseph Burghardt of Denver, apprentice seaman, U. S. N., has been named in the honor roll of the United States naval training station, San Francisco, as being one of the eleven men who have made the most progress in instruction, personal appearance and attention to duties.

"I can think of no more delightful place to go on a vacation than Colorado, a state of true western hospitality," commented President Harding after Senator Phipps, speaking on behalf of the citizens, had formally extended to the President the invitation from the Colorado Legislature to make the Rocky Mountain state his summer home. Besides Colorado's invitation to become its guest, the President was presented with a certificate of life honorary membership in the Denver Press Club. On behalf of the club, Warren R.

The old Midland railroad bed will be utilized in the construction of a county highway in the Carbondale district has become known following a trip of inspection over the route by county commissioners. By using the abandoned roadbed considerable expense can be saved to the county as the work of repairing the old highway along the Frying Pan river is in poor condition and the work of getting it into shape would be costly. Financial assistance will be given to the work by the forestry service. A "scientific kiss," purported to awaken dormant faculties, may cost James A. Murdock of Los Angeles his license.

Her mother, Mrs. Sarah Blackburn, got a bill from Murdock for $190. The board of supervisors has under consideration Mrs. Blackburn's application for revocation of Murdock's license. The latter made a sweeping denial of the charges. Several of the leading summer resorts in the Platte canon have organized an association, which will open a bureau of information, May 15, in the Albany hotel, for the benefit of the many tourists to Denver, who desire a short trip into Colorado's mountain wonderland. Besides the public informant who will be maintained, reservations for hotels and cottages may be made, and an outing of any duration will be planned. More than fifty students of the University of Colorado donned overalls and joined in the work of rebuilding the road up Bluebell canon, above Chautauqua. They were granted a half holiday to permit them to participate in the project which was carried out by the Lions' Club. Many prominent business men of Boulder, including Mayor J. O. Billig, were in the expedition. Regents of the university were also present. Twenty-month-old Robert Pierson, who fell from a third-story window of the Vincent hotel in Denver, died of injuries sustained in his fall. The baby who had been sleeping with his mother Mrs. Josephine Pierson, awakened before the mother, and crawled out of the bed over the ledge of an open window. Mrs. Pierson's first intimation of the accident was when her baby was brought to her by a policeman. The fall fractured the base of the baby's skull. After a spirited automobile ride Sheriff Lewis Worker lodged Jose M Gomez, 36, in the Crowley county jail at Ordway, following the killing of Pasquel Compos, 41, for years a resident of southern Colorado, in the main street at Sugar City. Scores of pedestrians and farmers witnessed the shooting. The shooting is said to have followed a series of quarrels between Gomez and Compos. Delegates from all quarters of the globe will gather in Montrose during the first week of June to attend the meeting of the General Missionary Society of the United Presbyterian church. More than 250 are expected to be in attendance at the convention. Two women and two men were fined for rioting, a justice of the peace lost his office and was fined for malfeasance, and one prominent Moffat county man is being sought by officers as the result of two fractions which kept Sunbeam and the whole lower section of Moffat county in a state of excitement for two weeks. Mrs. Bessie Morea, wife of Justice of the Peace C. O. Morea, her sister, Mrs. Beatrice Handside, and Ray and Roy Hanley were each fined $500. Justice of the Peace Morea resigned from office during the heat of the fray.

But according to press dispatches the Ice- landers made an appeal during the past winter to Norway, the nearest Buropean country, to ship them ice in order that they might save their her- ring harvest from being spotled by the mild weather, ‘The land which has come down in history as Iceland might with more accuracy have been given a diametri- cally opposite title, and called “The Land of Fire.” The surface of no other country, perhaps, is so deeply marked by the withering blasts that well up from time to time; and in no country of equal area are to be found so many volcanic peaks and vents, Nearly 5,000 square miles of the 40,- 000 of the country’s area are covered by lava flows. Iceland is approximately the size of Ohio and about 8,000 square miles larger than Ireland. It is only a short distance off the Europeward coast of Greenland, and its northernmost cape just touches the Arctic circle. From there the midnight sun can be seen. In spite of its position so near the North pole, Iceland, thanks to the Gulf stream, has a relatively mild win- ter climate. Reykjavik, the capital, is in the same latitude as Nome, Alas- ka, but has a January temperature milder than that of Munich, Germany, or Milan, Italy. Icelandic summers, however, are cool, due to the large fields of Ice that float down from the North. Grain cannot be grown satisfactorily, and all breadstuffs must be imported. ‘Though Icelanders, faced by implac- able natural forces and conditions, have been unable to achieve any great degree of physical development on their lava-covered, short-summered 1s- land, they have made notable advances in less material fields. A truly re- markable literary development sprang ap in this far northern island in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, a full hundred years before the Renais- sance began to make Itself felt in sunny Italy. In more recent times the Icelanders have shown themselves to be In ad- yance of many parts of the world in their social and political ideas. Wom- en had full political privileges in Ice- land earlier probably than in any oth- er civilized country. At the present time part of the Althing, the Icelandic parliament, is elected by proportional representation, Votes for women ts not the only mark which feminism has placed on the life of Iceland. The custom of women retaining thelr own names when they marry is more gen- eral In Iceland, perhaps, than In any other modern country. ‘The political status of Iceland ts in some ways pecullar. In effect it might be sald to be an autonomous state In partnership with Denmark. It has no army or navy and {s under no obll- gation to contribute either men or money to the Danish military forces. Denmark recognizes the country's per- manent neutrality. Furthermore, the present arrangement is only tempor- ary, and after December 31, 1940, elther of the associated countries may demand a revision of the “Act of Union” which now unites them, ONLY UNITED STATES HAS AL FRESCO INAUG- URATION If President, Harding had been tn- ducted into the chief office in some other republics on March 4, the cere- monies would have varied from a sim- plicity even greater than that he in- sisted upon, to an investiture of al- most regal splendor. If he had followed the customs long observed in France, the ceremony would have taken place in the White House. Insteadgpf taking a formal oath he would have uttered a pledge to consecrate himself to the service of the republic—and he would have ended by kissing the retiring President on both cheeks. If he had been made President ac cording to the practice of the Mexi- cans, he would have taken the oath in the hall of the house of represen- tatives at midnight. After the admin- {stration of the oath he would have received the embrace of his predeces- sor. In Brazil after being sworn in, he would have hung across his chest a broad band of the colors of the coun- try, supporting a medal—the insignia of the presidency. In Chile, following the taking of the oath before a Joint session of con- gress, he would have gone through streets lined with soldiers at “present arms,” to a special Te Deum service fn the principal church of the city. Immediately afterward he would have held a reception, and would then have paid a visit to the ex-president. If he had been inducted into the presidency of the war-torn and war- threatened republic of Poland, he would have gone to a “White House” ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION at whose doors were stationed cay- alrymen with drawn sabers, When he went abroad he would be preceded, not by a trim policeman or an Argus eyed secret service man, but by a her- ald who would demand that the popu- lace “uncover before the most noble President.” And if Mr, Harding, instead of be- mg installed as chief executive of the world’s biggest republic, had been sented as ong of the heads of the smallest republic, San Marino, he would have experienced the most elaborate procedure of all. He would have donned quaint medieval state garments; would have marched through the streets of the capital pre- ceded by heralds and escorted by gor- geously-uniformed soldiers; would have attended a preliminary church service during which his predecessor would sit on a canopied throne soon to be occupled by him; and finally, would have had placed on his head a headdress indicative of his office. In addition to differences in the offi- clal ceremonies by which the presi- dents of the world are Inducted into office, there are- many variations in the festivities and celebrations that accompany these events. In some cases the accompanying observances: have become practically a part of the official procedure. The newly installed French president almost invariably drives to the Hotel de Ville, the Paris city hall, after taking office, to attend a luncheon and reception as the guest of the president and members of the municipal council. In Mexico, during the evening preceding the midnight in- duction into office, the president-elect usually attends a banquet given in his honor by the mayor of the City of Mexico. There 1s a public reception at the presidential palace the morning after the Inauguration. In Chile the {tnauguration day is often closed by a special concert at the municipal theater, and on the fol- lowing evening the new president gives fa state banquet for diplomatic repre- sentatives, special envoys and high officials of the republic and the prov- inces. ‘The United States, although its cap- {tal is in a more rigorous climate than those of many republics, {s alone in having an “al fresco” inauguration. THE WINNING OF THE CA- NADIAN WEST Discovery of oil in northwest Can- ada toward the Aretic circle has in- creased the importance of the western Canadian provinces near the United States border, which will be the door- way for the new oil treasury. ‘The prairie provinces of Canada— Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta —were not without their bids to fame before this discovery. For example: ‘The last of the wild buffalo herds of America, survivors of the millions of animals which roamed the plains and woodlands of the continent, now ranges through northwestern Alberta. ‘This province alone is estimated to contain 15 per cent of the world’s known coal supply- ‘The myriad of wild ducks, geese, and other migratory fowl that fly northward each spring are for the most part bound for the northern parts of the three prairie provinces, where they build their nests and rear thelr young. The three provinces are naturally considered at once, for among them they cover all of Canada which is in process of being settled, west of the older Great Lakes province of On- tario and east of the Rocky moun- tains. ‘This is Canada’s “West,” where restless pioneer spirits from all lands are carving out an empire as kindred spirits a generation or so ago wrought the wilderness of the Missouri valley and the “great American desert” into the rich states of today. ‘The Canadian pioneers have advan- tages over those who won the Amer- ican West, in that they have better railroad methods and equipment, tele- phones and wireless. But they have fa relentless new enemy in the bitter cold of the northern regions of the provinces. For though the southern portions are separated from the United States by only an imaginary line, and are similar to the northern reaches of Minnesota, North Dakota and Mon- tana, of which they are geographically a part, to the north the three provinces sweep to within 500 miles of the Arctic circle. ‘The predominant part of the popu- lation and development of the three provinces is in their southern halves. In this region Winnipeg, capital of Manitoba, with its population close to 200,000, 1s Canada’s Chicago of a gen- eration or so ago; while Edmonton, capital of Alberta, is the St. Paul of a similar period. The northern por- tlon of the provinces 1s a region crossed: by many rivers and dotted with numberless lakes, a region divid- ‘ed between woodlands and “muskegs,” or swampy flats. ‘There the trapper still reigns supreme and life 1s prim- ‘tive. WHEN DINOSAURS GAM- BOLED IN AMERICA Spring in America. which 1s herald- ed in this age by the coming of the birds, the stirring of small animals and the emergence from hibernation and water lethargy of the few large animals that civilization has left us, was a vastly different matter a few eons ago when America produced an- imals larger than any now living here. ‘An idea of what these creatures were like 1s given In the following commu- nication to the National Geographic society from Barnum Brown: “That was so long ago that nothing remains of these creatures except their bones, and they are turned to stone. Hidden away under strata of earth, thelr spoor has long since grown cold. “The animals are dinosaurs; for the moment we will call them lzards— not the creeping, crawling kind, but huge reptiles that stalked upright through the jungles, rivaling in size the elephant, the hippopotamus and the rhinoceros, “In the marshes of prehistoric times dwelt a host of reptiles, some large, some small, and of vartous forms, flesh eaters and herb eaters, but all sharing certain characters in common and known as dinosaurs. Not any were closely related to any living rep- tile, yet they had some characters common to the lizards, crocodiles and birds. “Of the kinds charactertatic of the period one species, an herb eater named Trachodon, was more than 30 feet long and about 15 feet high when standing erect. Its head, with broad- ly-expanded mouth, resembles that of 4 duck, but back of the beak there are more than two thousand small teeth, disposed in many vertical rows, each containing several individual teeth, the new ones coming up from below as the old ones wore out. “The long hind feet terminated in three large-hoofed toes, and the short- er, slender front feet were partly webbed. A long, thin, slender tall act- ed as a powerful swimming organ, and the body was covered with rough tu- berculate skin. Having no means of defense, it ved chiefly in the water, where it was free from attacks of the flesh eaters, “Strangest of all was the herbivor- ous Ankylosaurus a stocky, short- legged, big-bodied creature, completely encased in armor. Dermal plates cov- ered the skull, followed by rings of plates over the neck and rows of flat plates over the back and hips. Its tall terminated in a huge club, and the belly was covered by a pliable mosaic of small, close-set plates. It was further protected by a movable plate that could be dropped down like shutter over each eye, thus complet- ing its protection from insects and for- midable foes.” ‘ c. V. FAIRBANKS —Props.— N.

WHERE SOME OF OUR IM- PORTS COME FROM— PERFUMES Milady America paid $4,972,541, dur- ing the last year for perfumes, cos- metics and toilet preparations, a fact which has led to confused specula- tion by mere man as to what she did with them. ‘The real romance and adventure in the statement les not so much in the uses to which these imports were put as where they came from. The sunny isles and lands along the Mediterrane- an probably grew some of the flowers, others perhaps were plucked by dark Moorish hands in Algeria, and mayhap an animal in the brooding hills of western China gave its life to furnish oue constituent of the perfume. ‘The vegetable kingdom is necessarily the most fertile source of perfumes. From its flowers such as the rose and Jessamine, and from {ts seeds, woods and barks, such as the splces and san- dalwood, even the most fastidious connoisseur would be able to select either some simple odor or a complex bouquet. Nor are they for perfumes alone, but for scenting soaps, éreams, pomades, and in making flavorings und extracts. Rosemary, thyme, sweet basil, and marjoram are found in great pro- fusion in Mediterranean countries, and here the chemist can distill the whole plant and not bother about picking the flowers. Shakespeare, the unfail- Ing naturalist that he was, made no error when he chose for Ophella the flowers she scattered. The old-fashioned lavender flowers In which our grandmothers used to pack the household linen, and their rich old lace grew best in France and England, ‘The rose geranium, which has such an exquisite odor is also grown and distilled in France, but Spain, Algiers, and the Island of Reunion engage in the industry. Unlike the lavender, however, the perfume of the rose ger- apium comes from its leaves and not from the flowers. But the country that might well be known by its scent ie Bulgaria, for its rose crop 1s second only to its tobacco. Over 12,500 neres of lund in the prov- Inces of Phillppopolis and Stara Za- gora ure given to the growth of roses from the petals of which attar of roses is distilled. In the wonderful gardens at Kazanlik, Karlovo, Klisoura and. Stara Zagora, the best of the flowers are grown. ‘About four thousand pounds of roses are produced on an agre of land, but it takes about two hundred pounds of petals to produce an ounce of oll, for an attar which before the war cost about $250 a pound. Roses are grown tn other parts of the Balkans, as well as in Asiatic Tur-, key, and in India, Persia, the Fayum province in Egypt, and in France. ‘The industry lately has been introduced into Germany. ‘Phe animal perfumes are extremely limited in number. Ambergris is se- creted by the sperm whale, clvit by the animal of the same name, and musk by the musk ox, the musk rat, and the musk deer, which ts found in the high Himalayas, Tibet, and eastern Siberia, About 15,000 ounces of musk, usually in the grain form, are annual- ly imported to the United States from China and India. Musk has one pe- cullar afd almost tnexplicable charac: teristic. One grain of it kept freely exposed to the air of a well-ventilated room, will impregnate the atmosphere for ten years without sensibly dimin ishing in welght.

Opens With Successful Meeting at Shorter. Despite the inclement weather of last Sunday the N. A. A. C. P. meeting at Shorter Church was a decided success. What the meeting lacked in numbers was made up in enthusiasm and interest manifested. Every person present took out a membership. U. S. Senator Lawrence C. Phipps sent in a check for $100 and one lady over 80 years of age, Mrs. Tabitha —— took out a $5 membership. Madame Jessie Carter and Mrs. Geo. Whitesell were also numbered among the $5 members. Rev. S. A. Stripling delivered a strong address on "The Ku Klux Klan; a Growing Menace." Rev. W. H. Thomas also delivered his usual stirring address on the "N. A. A. C. P.; a Growing Power." Attorney E. N. Burdick, who has charge of the damage suit of Mrs. Geo. Whitesell vs. the American Theater, was present and also made some interesting remarks. Mr. Burdick will be one of the principal speakers at Zion Church next Sunday, $ p. m. Perhaps the one thing that aroused the audience to the highest pitch of enthusiasm was the petition that came in from Fitzsimons Hospital at Aurora, signed by thirty-nine disabled ex-service men, appealing to President Harding, asking for pardon of the members of the Twenty-fourth infantry now imprisoned at Leavenworth. This petition, was read by Rev.D. E. Over, who suggested that among the petition to the President one should contain the names of all ex-service men in this part of the country. Following this suggestion invitations will be sent to all war veterans to appear in a body at Zion Church next Sunday. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Mr. and Mrs. J. W. White of 1402 East Twenty-fourth Avenue, royally entertained the Georgia Minstrels after the show Tuesday evening of last week.

Whitten, pastor of the Second Baptist Church, occupied the pulpit Sunday and delivered two excellent sermons to appreciative audiences. The morning sermon on "Consecration" was an advice to members to consecrate their lives to service acceptable to God. Text, Romans xii., 1, "I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. The evening service was on "Regeneration," text, John iii., 7: "Marvel not that I say unto thee, ye must be born again." Reverend Mr. Whitten is an able speaker. The Christian citizens are elated by attendance at his service. He is a gospel minister, is a stanch supporter of the doctors of which he is a leading advocate. Neither does he equivocate but informs his members of their duty they owe to the cause of Christ. We will hear more of this Christian gentleman; he is of the elements of which great preachers are made. Little Alice Gaskins, the 11-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Gaskins, fell from an automobile and was seriously injured. She has been lying unconscious since April 22nd. Mrs. Sallie Clinton, who is seriously ill at St. John's hospital, is not improving. Delayed News—Mrs. J. A. Jones and Mrs. Lille McMickens entertained at a dinner party April 6th.

Ireland leads the world in the manufacture of poplin and, although most of the silk used is of foreign manufacture, the Dublin weavers treat it in such a manner as to make Irish poplin a distinct fabric. It is composed of worsted made from the finest wool, and silk in combination, and no makers but the Irish seem to be able to produce the softness of texture and brilliance of coloring that is so characteristic of the best poplin. This is attributed to the peculiarity of the Dublin water and the skill and knowledge of the makers. Performing Duty. Let us do our duty in our shop or in our kitchen, the market, the street, the office, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if we stood in the front rank of some great battle, and we knew that victory for mankind depended upon our bravery, strength and skill. When we do that, the humbest of all will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the world.—Thedore Parker. Case Not Entirely Hopeless.

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.

Hawk Realy Parallel From early times in the eastern United States country boys, and even sportsmen, have held "hawk shoots" during the autumn flights, making their ambushes at places where woodland gives way to fields, and particularly where the flight-line is determined by an adjoining body of water. Such hunting is in general rather senseless, or worse, for most of our hawks are beneficial birds.—Exchange.

HE HAS ASKED LITTLE MORE Enemy Propaganda to Make His Visit of No Avail, Has Been Futile—Probable Amendment of the Knox Peace Resolution. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Rene Viviani, former premier of France, has had as strenuous a life of it since he arrived in this country as he had during the time in his home land of France when war was pressing hard on the people. This French envoy extraordinary has been the guest on several occasions of the President of the United States. Also he has been dined by several senators of the United States, one of whom at least is of the school of those known as irreconcilables, which means that in a way Viviani was the guest of a man who is not entirely satisfied that the United States should enter into foreign affairs, even to the extent of expressing a willingness to safeguard a sister republic from possible future attack by a militaristic power bent on revenge. Not long ago I wrote that Viviani would ask for the moral support of the United States in the attempt of France to make the Germans pay the indemnity. It also was said that there was a supplementary, or rather a subordinate mission, which, if voiced, might make itself felt in an appeal for financial aid for France from this country in case it was impossible to get part of the German indemnity at once. There seems to have been nothing since Viviani reached this country to make necessary a change in the first views written concerning his errand to the United States. Assured of Moral Support. The United States government virtually has told the Frenchman that Germany ought to pay the indemnity, and in this expression France finds the moral support of Uncle Sam. This word of support from the United States has been received in France with acclaim. The republic of western Europe seems today to feel that the great republic across the seas still feels its sense of obligation for things done in the past and also feels a responsibility to see to it that the rule of the people does not perish from the earth. Since Viviani has been here he has told Americans all about the sharp need of his country for money to restore the thousands of villages which were swept off the face of the earth by the enemy shell fire. His plea has been for moral support, and beyond this he has made few requests, but from the first he expressed willingness to answer questions, and it is understood that they came quickly and in large numbers. There have been attempts in Washington to make Viviani's visit of no avail. Insidious propaganda has been conducted by friends and agents of a country with which the United States is still at war to prevent the American administration from suggesting any means of help, even moral help, for the French republic. Recently it has been shown that the administration is sympathetic with the cause of France just as seemingly are nearly all Americans. To Amend Knox Resolution. The Knox resolution which declares that a state of peace exists between the United States and Germany is still the subject for debate in Washington, as it is just about to become one for debate in congress. It seems to be assured at this writing that if the Knox resolution shall be sanctioned, it will have as an addition a statement that the United States will not look unconcerned on any attempt to revive militaristic operations in Europe which shall imperil the life of the French republic. The French, it is known, are not keen for the passage of the Knox resolution at the present time, for they would like to have the United States become a party to the peace treaty which the European allies made with Germany, but an addition to the resolution will go a great way toward apposing the French, who lay great store on mere expressions of friendliness on the part of the United States. Secretary of State Hughes has had many talks with former Premier Viviani. The Department of State in a large measure is the keeper of the administration's conscience in all matters relating to international policies. Mr. Hughes knows definitely, probably, all that is going to be done, and it seems likely that the framework of every plan for foreign relations is Mr. Hughes' handiwork. It is understood in Washington that the Hughes and the Harding viewpoints are not far apart. Herrick Stands By France. Myron T. Herrick of Ohio, for the second time probably will be the ambassador of the United States to France. Frenchmen, official and non-official, have expressed their entire satisfaction with the appointment. There are some curious circumstances connected with the preliminaryies of the designation of Mr. Herrick for the position which he held once before. It was on the day that the United States declared it must stand with the allies on the question of the amount of the German indemnity that Mr. Herrick accepted President Harding's offer to make him the ambassador to France. There is a close connection between these two facts; at least I think I can say so without much trepidation lest somebody enter denial. I think it is safe further to add that if the United States had not sent its note to Germany more than intimating that she must pay indemnity to the full limit of her ability, Myron T. Herrick would have declined to go to France as ambassador. Mr. Herrick was the American ambassador to France when the great war broke out. He was the representative of a neutral government, and he did not allow himself to do anything which could give Germany or Austria the slightest cause of complaint that he was engaged in anything which the ambassador of a neutral country might not do. But in the shadow of the menace of the overthrow of France by a militaristic power which wanted to dominate the world there was no question then, nor is there today, as to where Myron T. Herrick's sympathies lay. France loved the man and loves him today. While Mr. Herrick was in a state of doubt as to the intentions of his government toward reparations and toward other things he felt that he could not go back to France, there perhaps to be called upon to stand as spokesman for his government in matters which the French people would regard as inimical to their interests, and which might make it appear that the United States had forgone its old time friendship for the republic over the sea. With his sympathies one way and his actions as an ambassador being forced another way, he would have been placed in a position impossible for him to take. Now that it is assured that the one thing which makes France's future prosperity assured, will be done; Mr. Herrick can go to his Paris post and feel there that he can do his whole duty by his country, and yet retain the friendships which he won by his high conduct during the trying days of 1914. Served Far From Firing Line. Every little while there come to Washington, either for temporary or for permanent duty, high officers of the United States army who during the participation of the United States in the great war were compelled by force of circumstances to serve with troops at a long distance from the firing line. They were not even given the satisfaction of serving within the boundaries of the United States proper in the work of preparing their fellow citizens for the field of battle. These men come from the Philippines, from Hawaii, or from Panama. It must not be supposed for one moment that the soldiers of the United States army who were in our noncontiguous possessions during the war did not have their high duties to perform while the American army and the American navy were at grapples with the foe. The work that these men did was an essential part of the whole scheme of warfare, and they did it well. There came to Washington the other day John Bellinger Bellinger, colonel, quartermaster's department, United States army. When the war broke out Bellinger naturally wanted to serve in the field of high action, but although he was in the prime of life and health, and had, back of him a record which had secured for him at one time a recommendation that he be made quartermaster general of the United States, he was sent to the Philippine islands as department quartermaster. How They Helped Win the War. Not long ago the Philippine senate thanked Colonel Bellinger in a resolution for the high service that he performed while department quartermaster in the islands. Taking Bellinger's case as an example of others, what was it that this officer did away off in the Far East in order that he might help to solve some of the problems confronting his country in the time of war? He knew, of course, instantly that food was a vital thing in connection with the carrying on of the war to a successful conclusion. Almost instantly on his own initiative he purchased and shipped to the United States by army transports, sugar, China beef, Australian flour and other supplies which could be obtained in the Philippine islands, China, Japan and Australia. This resulted in introducing speedily into the United States approximately 110,000,000 pounds of food supplies which could not otherwise have reached here, and it included the high necessities of sugar and beef to the amount of 63,165,000 pounds of the one and 3,188,000 of the latter. Other quick work of this man at a distance was the transfer of certain regiments of American troops from the Philippines to the United States for war service; the replacement of all regular army commissioned officers of the quartermaster's corps in the Philippine department by reserve corps commissioned officers, and the transfer from the Philippines to the United States of all enlisted personnel of the quartermaster's corps who were believed to be qualified for commissions in the reserve corps and for administrative positions in the depot and training camps. Other things without number were done in the Philippines by Colonel Bellinger and other officers to help win the war for the United States. SEA'S OLD TALES Superstitions That Are Held by Cornishmen. Phantom Lights and Phantom Ships Implicitly Believed In by Sailors Who Fear Nothing. All along the Cornish shores the phantom ship is thoroughly believed in, as also are the phantom lights. Some years ago a schooner-rigged vessel made signals of distress to the west of St. Ives bay. A cable that put out reached her, and one of the seamen made a grasp at her bulwarks in order to jump on board; but his hand met nothing solid, and as he tumbled back into the boat the schooner and her sailing lights disappeared in the darkness. Next morning a schooner out of the port of London was wrecked within the same vicinity, and all on board her perished. The phantom lights are seen generally before a gale; the Cornish seamen call them "Jack Harry's lights," and the ship seen resembles the one that is subsequently wrecked. The death ship is a superstition peculiar to Cornwall. With black hull and stumpy bowsprit, she comes in, with all her canvas set, against the wind and tide, and as she turns to reach to seaward again the doomed person dies. Most famous of the traditional stories grouping round the death ship is that of a wrecker, who lived at Tregaseal, beguiling vessels with false lights and doing to death those who escaped the waves. When he lay dying a black ship full rigged with all sail set was noticed coming in upon the land against the wind and tide; and as the man died she bore out to sea again in a half gale. Porthcurno cove, near the Logan stone, has also a ship of doom. Sometimes there is seen when the mists are rising off the marshes a black square rigged craft, which stands over to Bodelan and Chygwiden and suddenly vanishes. Upon whosoever sees her ill luck and death are sure to fall. Near St. Ives, too, is a churchyard haunted by an apparition, sight of which entails disaster to seamen. In the sixties of the last century a vessel was wrecked on the coast here. The men who went off to the rescue found on board a lady with a child in her arms. She refused to part with her charge, and in drawing her by a rope from the wreck to the boat the child was lost in the raging seas. The lady died through shock and exposure and was buried in the local churchyard. Today her wraith is said to haunt the shore, whether the day or the night is tempestuous or dark or clear or fine. And on whoever sees her, be he a seafaring man, disaster falls. The coasts of Cornwall are second to none in the wildness, the variety and originality of their sea superstitions. For nowhere else in Europe has the sea taken such a toll of dead, and still takes. Only Cape Ushant, and, perhaps, the Goodwin sands off the coast of Kent, may rank behind Cornwall in the sea's colossal ledger of death and disaster.—National Marine. Voices by Radio. Voice transmission by radio waves has passed beyond the experimental stage. The United States bureau of standards says that it is now actually possible to telephone by wireless over as great a distance as by the ordinary wire. It also states that the quality of the transmitted speech is as perfect as that which comes over the ordinary telephone and the same remark applies to music sent by radio. This highest scientific authority expresses a belief that before very long communication across the Atlantic by radiophone will be established on a commercial basis. When that has been accomplished, a person in Philadelphia or New York will be able at any time to call up and converse with a friend or business acquaintance in London or Paris, by paying a stated and moderate rate per five minutes of talk. Origin of Ophthalmia Little was known concerning the surgery of the eye in Great Britain until the expedition into Egypt under Sir Ralph Abercrombie took place following the advance of the French into the land of the pyramids led by Napoleon Bonaparte. The British troops, says the New York Medical Journal, became the victims of contagious ophthalmia, then and now widely prevalent in that country, and brought back that scourge into Great Britain. Incapacitated from further fulfilling their military duties, the disease was spread by these men throughout the length and breadth of the land. Serious study of the eye then began.

Do Not Neglect the Orchard, Nor Fail to Plant One If There Is None on the Farm-It Means Dollars and Cents in the Pocket and Adds Much to the Enjoyment of the Owners. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The ordinary individual craves a certain amount of fruit in his diet. On the average farm fruit constitutes only about 6 per cent (in value) of all food consumed. This percentage could be increased to good advantage, making fruit a more important part of the diet. Many farmsteads include fruit trees and grape arbors as a part of the planting scheme around the dwelling. A small area of the farm devoted to apple trees, peach trees, berry plants, or other fruit suited to the region, is a good investment for any farmer. About two-thirds of the fruit consumed by the average farm family is produced on the home farm. SKIM MILK HAS BIG FOOD VALUE Specialists of Department of Agriculture Recommend Its More Liberal Use. Nutritive Part Consists Very Largely of Protein and There Are Many Uses to Which It Can Be Put in Preparing Meals. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Skim milk, though often wasted, is a very economical food material, in the opinion of specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture, and could be more generally used, in cookery, as human food. Whole milk, as everyone knows, is an indispensable food for the young, and even in the diet of the adult it is desirable. For cooking purposes skim A woman is preparing a dish in a pot. Corn Chowder is an Excellent Way in Which to Utilize 6kim Milk. milk is very satisfactory, although it lacks the valuable food constituent, butterfat. There is left, however, in the skim milk, not only all of the sugar, which amounts to about $4 \frac{1}{2} $ parts in every 100, and most of the mineral substances, but also most of the proteins. The last-named class of substances are important, because, besides supplying muscle and tissue-building material, they also serve as fuel for the body, as fats, sugars and starches do. Rich in Protein. Since the nutritive part of skim milk consists very largely of protein, it is to be classed with such food materials as eggs, meat, fish, poultry and cheese (though it is more delicate than those foods), rather than with such substances as sugar, which serve only as fuel. Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain almost as much protein and yield about the same amount of energy as a pound of round of beef. Whole, unskimmed milk has, of course, a more pleasing taste to many people, and those who do not need to consider the additional cost will no doubt always prefer it. Children should always be given whole milk. When used for cooking, however, the difference in taste between skimmed and unskimmed milk is not so perceptible, and there are many uses to which skim milk can be put in the preparation of foods. In the making of cereal mushes, for instance, the use of skim milk in place of water adds greatly to the nutritive value, particularly by raising the amount of tissue-forming materials. In making milk soups, chowders, custards, and cakes also, it can be profitably used. Corn Chowder. 1 can of corn, or 1 pint of fresh corn grated. 4 cuples of potatoes, cut into small places. 2 ounces, salt pork. 4 ounces crackers. Cut the pork into small pieces and fry it with the onion until both are a delicate brown. Add the potatoes and corn; cover with water and cook until the vegetables are soft. Add the milk and salt and reheat. It is well to allow the crackers to soak in the milk while the potatoes and corn are being cooked. Some people cook the cobs from which the corn has been removed, in water, and later use this water for cooking the potatoes and corn. Curd Cup Cakes. 1 cupful dry curd. 4 eggs. % cupful sugar. % teaspoonful salt. Beat the yolks of the eggs thoroughly; add the sugar and the curd (which must be very dry), and beat until the mixture is smooth. Combine this mixture by cutting and folding with the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Bake for 20 minutes in a moderate oven, in which the heat is greater at the bottom. Use unbuttered gem tins. This amount should make about thirty cakes. In order to prepare the curd, take two and one-half or three quarts of sour skim milk; heat to the boiling point and strain; when no more liquid runs off, press the curd between cloths or dry it in a warming oven. If the curd from the quantity of milk given amounts to more than a cupful, it is too wet. If a very sweet cake is liked, as is the case in parts of South America, where these cheese cakes are well known, two cupfuls of sugar may be used with two cupfuls of the cottage cheese and four eggs. It should be remembered that skim milk does not contain so much nutriment as whole milk. Its greatest function is to give added food value at low cost when used in cookery to replace water, and is a means of utilizing the skim milk which contains much good food. Household Questions Milk, whole-wheat bread and fruit make a well-balanced luncheon. Any scrap of preserves or jelly added to mincemeat will make it richer.

If we looked for people's virtues And their faults refused to see, What a pleasant, cheerful, Happy place this world would be.

Cover the skin, bones of several fish (cod, haddock, flounder or lake (rout) with cold water, add an onion, half a carrot, half a cupful of celery leaves, three branches of parsley, chopped and cooked in two tablespoonfuls of fat; let simmer, closely covered, for half an hour. Strain off the liquid and to a quart of the soup or broth add one-third of a cupful of minute tapioca cooked in a pint of milk until transparent; add a teaspoonful or more of salt, one-third of a teaspoonful of paprika, one cupful of cream and half a pound of fresh raw fish cut in half-inch cubes. Let cook over boiling water ten minutes and serve with olives. Creole Stew.—Take one pound of lean beef or a medium-sized fowl, two cupfuls of tomatoes, one cupful of carrots, one cupful of chopped sweet peppers, one-half cupful of rice, one-fourth of a cupful of chopped onion, one teaspoonful of salt and one table-spoonful of fat. Cut the meat in pieces, melt the fat, add the onions, peppers, meat or chicken; brown in the fat. Put in the cooking vessel, with the seasoning, rice, vegetables, and one cupful of boiling water; simmer for one-half hour, then put into the cooker for three hours without the soapstones or two hours with them. With chicken and okra instead of the meat and carrots, this is a favorite southern dish. Dried beef prepared by scalding and draining and used as the chicken with macaroni, makes another good hot dish for supper or luncheon. Apple Gelatin.—Soak two tablespoonfuls of gelatin in one-half cupful of cold water. Cook six tart apples with half a lemon rind, or use a like amount of seasoned apple sauce. Put through a sieve, add the juice of a lemon, the softened gelatin and pour into a mold. Serve with cream whipped or plain.

The following will be useful in preparing a week's menus as there is some thing which each member of the family will enjoy: Squaw Dish. — Place one-half pound of thinly-sliced strips of bacon in a hot frying pan and cook until the bacon is crisp and brown, occasionally Squaw Dish. — Place one-half pound of thinly-sliced strips of bacon in a hot frying pan and cook until the bacon is crisp and brown, occasionally pouring off the fat and turning frequently to keep the bacon from burning. Drain from the fat, leaving four tablespoonfuls of fat in the pan; add one-half cupful of hot milk and one cupful of corn; cook until soft; if cooked corn is used it will not need as long cooking. Season with salt, pepper and paprika and serve on a hot platter around the bacon. Prune Pudding.—Take one cupful of ground uncooked prunes, one-half cupful of sugar and when well mixed add two well beaten eggs. three cupfuls of milk, one-half teaspoonful of orange extract and one thick slice of buttered bread. Cut the bread in small dice and stir into the custard. Bake slowly until the custard is set and the bread is brown. This takes an hour and a quarter in a slow oven to cook the prunes. Poached Eggs With Cheese Sauce. The thrifty housewife who has packed her eggs when the price was at its lowest will now be able to have egg dishes and not feel that she is extravagant. For three eggs and three slices of toast make one cupful of cream sauce, using two tablespoonfuls of butter, the same of flour and one cupful of milk with seasoning to taste. Add one-half cupful of grated cheese and stir until the cheese is melted. Break the eggs into salted water and poach them until of the desired consistency. Dip the edges of well toasted bread into hot water, arrange on individual plates, butter and pour over the sauce, then place the well-drained egg on each. If preferred the egg may be daced first and the sauce poured over Alsation Pot Dinner.—Take one cupful each of finely cut carrots, onions, yellow turnip and potatoes, two cupfuls of cabbage, one-half cupful of green peas, one clove of garlic. Remove the marrow from one pound of marrow bone, cut it in thin slices and add some to the hot iron kettle. Cut one pound of pork in cubes, then put it in alternate layers with the vegetables into the pot; add the bone, two teaspoonfuls of salt and enough pepper to season. Cover tightly and cook in a hot oven three-quarters of an hour. Do not remove cover until it's ready to serve. Neele Maxwell THE KITCHEN CABINET (C. 1521, Western Newspaper Union.)

WHAT SHALL WE HAVE TO EAT? To have variety, economy and a well balanced day's meals means care- ful thought and plan. X Fillet of Lamb.—Remove the bone from two pounds of lamb cut from the fore quarter, cut the meat in strips and pound until flat. Mix three tablespoonfuls of olive oil with three tablespoonfuls of vinegar and two tablespoonfuls each of minced onion and parsley. Pour the dressing over the meat and let stand over night. Serve browned in a hot pan. The bones may be cooked with vegetables making a fine soup. Raisin Brown Bread.—Take three cupfuls of yellow cornmeal, one and one-half cupfuls each of graham flour and white flour, one cupful of molasses, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of soda, one-half cupful of hot water, one teaspoonful of salt, three cupfuls of sour milk, one or two eggs and one and one-half cupfuls of raisins. Mix well and fill molds half full. Steam three hours or six in a fireless cooker, reheating once. Chocolate Loaf Cake.—One cupful each of sugar and sour milk, one teaspoonful of soda, two cupfuls of flour, two squares of melted chocolate, one well-beaten egg, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and one-half teaspoonful of vanilla. Beat well and bake in a loaf forty minutes. This cake, if slightly less flour is added, makes a good layer cake. Put together with boiled frosting. Tomato Fritters.—Beat one egg, add one-half cupful of water or stock, one-half teaspoonful of salt, one-quarter of a teaspoonful of pepper and one tablespoonful of finely minced parsley. Add two cupfuls of flour sifted with three teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Beat the whole together, then add two or three fresh ripe tomatoes peeled and cut in pieces, or one cupful of canned tomatoes and two heaping tablespoonfuls of grated cheese. Cook by spoonfuls in butter and serve with a highly seasoned tomato sauce as an accompaniment to roast meat.

Cream together the butter and sugar named at first; add the milk, rose extract and flour sifted with the salt and baking powder. Beat smooth and fold in the stiffly-beaten whites of six eggs. Bake in three round-layer tins lined with greased paper. Cover while baking, with paper to prevent browning. For the filling boil the two cupfuls of sugar and water together until it spins a thread when it is poured very slowly over the stiffly-beaten whites of three eggs. Beat until of the consistency of cream, then add the chopped fruit and nuts with the almond extract. Put the filling between the layers and on top. Decorate the top with strips of fig and chopped nuts. Orange Sweetbreads.—Let a pair of sweetbreads simmer gently, covered with boiling water, for twenty minutes, with a slice of lemon or one onion and one-half teaspoonful of salt. When parboiled blanch by plunging into cold water. Remove the membranes and cut the sweetbreads in slices and cook in hot fat until lightly browned. Add to the pan the following sauce: One tablespoonful of butter blended with one of flour, this added to one cupful of well-seasoned stock, chicken or veal, and cook until smooth and thick.

THE LADY'S JUMPSUIT NOW that June is not far away, the shops are all showing fine underthings, or the materials for making them, for brides-to-be; and they are entitled to point with pride to the quality and character of this year's offerings. Designs are simple and practical, materials fine and beautiful. Trimmings are not at all lavishly used, but present themselves with a flavor of refinement, which has not been excelled; with drawnwork, hemstitching, faggoting, infinitesimal tuks and delicate embroidery, all done by hand. In materials, crepe de chine, chiffon cloth, handkerchief linen, fine buttie predominate and the color favored is rose pink, which is even a little more liked than white. Other colors are shown, but none of them have become rivals of pink or white, except among negligees and dressing jackets or bed jackets. These select what they will in color and their choice falls upon many a flower-like hue in georgette. No Hat Outclasses the Sailor THE HAT THE HAT FOR sports, for travel, for street wear, there is no hat that outclasses the sailor, and therefore it returns with every season, summer and winter, in unending variations. It seems impossible that one type of hat could present itself in such an exhaustless number of modifications of the original sailor shape, but width of brim, height and shape of crown, character of material used and other items in the construction of sailors, make the endless little points of difference that maintains interest in this trim bit of headwear. The sailor hat, like the cloth tailored suit, for which it makes so good a companion, should be selected in as good a quality as one can afford to buy. Being so simple, it must have something to offer that is noteworthy, and this something is found in fine materials and irrepronachable workmanship. At the upper left of the group a lovely example appears with square crown of hatter's plush and brim of milan hemp, faced with the same braid in white. The contour of the brim edge is soft and rolls upward a little. For neatness and trimness such a sailor invites comparison with other styles of headwear. Its band is of heavy grosgrain ribbon. --- satin, crepe de chine, with cream-colored lace and ribbon flowers bearing them company. Two combinations, in which knickerbockers take the place of the usual short petticoats, are among the underslips that entice the bride, to add the most up-to-date of garments to her trousseau. In one of these the bodice is decorated with embroidered flowers and the knickers with a band of lace insertion about the knees, with little bows of narrow ribbon for embellishment. In the other, the knickers are plain and the bodice enriched by a band of filet lace at the top. Shoulder straps of satin ribbon are almost universal in combinations. Fine val lace is not outrivaled, but has competitors in net bandings and borders, which make a very new decoration for petticoats of crepe de chine. Applique flowers, cut out of silk, and outline embroidery find the net their ideal background. THE HAT Another black satin, similar in shape, but banded with a wide faille ribbon, appears at the right in a rough, high-luster braid. Its brim also rolls slightly. Between the two, a small sailor, which has been shown in many colors, appears in gray, with band of pale gray ribbon. It has a straight brim, which one finds often supporting an upright length of hair braid about its edge and boasting a cluster of cherries matching it in color. Two aristocrats in milan complete the group, one at the left, in navy blue, has a flange of blue satin on the under brim and a drape of the satin about its crown. The large buckle at the side is made of the milan braid. The straight-brimmed, square-crowned sailor in black milan at the right is suitably finished with a band of heavy faille ribbon.
