THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY HAITIAN VISITOR TO NEW YORK URGES QUICK RESTORATION OF HIS COUNTRY VOL. XXVII. HAITIAN VISITOR TO QUICK RESTORATION Pierre Eugene de Lespinasse, a member of the General Committee of the Patriotic Union, who has just arrived in New York City from Haiti, today issued a statement at the office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, in which he urged prompt action for the regeneration of his country if its ruin was not to be made complete by the American Occupation. "For the first time in 116 years," said M. Pierre Eugene de Lespinasse, "Haiti, during the last five years of American occupation, has defaulted on its interior debt. This debt is held by Haitian people, for the most part, who have suffered severe hardships because of the stoppage of their income and those who gave credit to the Haitian government by purchasing its obligations, are being ruined. "If Americans wish to do something for Haiti, it is necessary to hasten. Human powers have their limits. Haitians have endured for six years. I do not know how long they can continue to endure. Their country has been devastated by recent events. They are living in a state of destroying insecurity. There is no work to be had. Common people are miserable and under-fed, and upwards of 130,000 of them have migrated to Cuba. "The first remedy required is financial. It was a crime against the economic strength of the country to fix the value of the national currency, the gourde, at twenty cents for a gourde, when in the last twenty-five years the gourde had been worth a dollar and was several times at a premium over the dollar. 'The military devastation that has taken place in Haiti in the last five years can be repaired. It will be more difficult to maye reparation for the economic crimes which are killing the country in putting it at a disadvantage with other countries. These are the crimes committed not in the open, but in the silence of diplomatic and financial chambers.' CANON CITY NEWS Joseph Harris Died Thursday. Joseph Harris, colored, died at his home, 621 Pike avenue, about noon on Thursday, in the 93rd year of his age. His condition has been serious for some time and his death was not wholly unexpected. The deceased was unitl his las illness a remarkably healthy, vigorous man for one of his advanced time of life and was able until a few weeks ago to perform physical work that would have taxed the strength of many a person of half his years. He was a man of unusual intelligence and his larger part of the country's history, covering its most interesting period. He served in the Mexican war of 1847 as valet and personal attendant of General Zachary Taylor, who later became President of the United States. Mr. Harris recalled with distinctness the battles of Monterey, Buena Vista and Chapultepec and the capture of the City of Mexico. He was a colored Mason of high standing and is said to have been advanced to the 33rd degree in that order, taking the Scottish Rite degree. He was also a soldier in the Civil war, having served in Co. E, 60th Colored Volunteer regiment. He leaves a wife and family. He was born in Virginia in 1828 and was 92 years of age last March. He was the oldest member of Greenwood Post No. 10, Grand Army of the Republic of this city. The funeral service was held Sunday afternoon. Interment at Lakeside cemetery. A delegation of colored Masons from Pueblo was present at the funeral and had charge of the burial ceremonies at the grave.—Daily Record, Cañon City, Colo. HORROR ON THE RHINE. "It is impossible to study the Negro occupation and believe that the presence of black troops constitutes a constant terror and a horror to the Germans. The crime is rather against the black troops themselves than against the Germans. They are virtually slaves forced to military service in a cause in which they have no interest and which they do not understand." Thus writes Lewis Cannett from Mainz, Germany, after careful first-hand study. His article appears in THE NATION for May 25. About the "Horror on the Rhine," German officials told Mr. Gannett "that this propaganda was a commercial enterprise conducted for profit." The article censures the conditions of the occupation, and describes in detail not only the conduct of the black troops on the Rhine but that of the white troops as well. THE NATION publishes in the same issue the complete text of the Haitian Memoir to the United States describing the atrocities perpetrated by the military occupation of the Republic of Haiti and concluding in part: It is the most terrible regime of military autocracy which has ever been carried on in the name of the great American democracy. The Haitian people, during these past five years, has passed through such sacrifices, tortures, destructions, humiliations and misery as have never before been known in the course of its unhappy history. The American government, in spite of the attitude of wisdom, moderation and even submission which it has always found in dealing with the Haitian government, has never lived up to any of the agreements which it had solemnly entered into with regard to the Haitian people. The Haitian people is entitled to reparations for the wrongs and injuries committed against it. The great American people can only honor themselves and rise in universal esteem by hastening the restoration of justice—of all the justice due a weak and friendly nation which the agent of its government have systematically abused. DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, MAY 28 1921 "BIRTH OF A NATION" FILM IS STOPPED IN BOSTON. THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today published a statement giving in detail the events leading up to the prevention by Mayor Peters of Boston of the showing of David W. Griffith's film, "The Birth of a Nation." On May 16, the day on which the picture was to have been shown, Mayor Peters suspended the license of the Slubber Theatre, acting upon the recommendation of the Board of Censors which had received protests from the Boston Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Butler R. Wilson, secretary of the Boston Branch, N. A. A. C. P., acted as attorney for the protestants against the film, among whom were a colored post of the American Legion; the Knights of Columbus; the Colored Veterans of All Wars; the National Colored Pythian Organization; The National Equal Rights League; William H. Lewis; Rev. M. A. M. Shaw of the Twelfth Baptist church; Rev. Watter D. McLean and others. The protest submitted to the Mayor of Boston by Mr. Wilson for the N. A. A. C. P. asked that the showing of the "Birth of a Nation" be prevented; 1. Because it is a malicious misrepresentation of the colored people, depicting them as moral pervers. 2. Because it glorifies the most abominable crime of the lynching of men, women and children by irresponsible mobs. 3. Because it arouses sharp race antagonisms that embitter citizens against each other. 4. Because it tends to a breach of the public peace. As a consequence of the protest, a hearing was held on the very day on which the film was to be shown. After the hearing and the protest the theatre license was suspended that very day, and it became impossible to show the picture in Boston. The fight made against the "Birth of a Nation" in New York City by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People did not succeed as in Boston, because in New York there are no censors with the authority conferred on those in Boston. The Mayor and Police Commissioner of New York, to whom protests were carried, declared their lack of legal authority to interfere with the showing. PERRY W. HOWARD PLACED IN DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.

WHITE FIENDS ATTACK PROM- INENT DENTIST OF HOUSTON Houston, Tex., May 19.—Another crime, brutal in the extreme, and almost beyond conception, was committed last Sunday morning when Dr. J. Lafayette Cochrell, one of the leading dentists of this city, was forcibly taken from his automobile by two carloads of whites at the point of guns, carried to a lonely spot outside the city limits, tied, blindfolded, rendered unconscious, and a damnable operation performed. Relating the crime later he said: "I, with my wife and some friends, was driving in my car about 11 o'clock Sunday morning, when two large cars drove up, one of which I think, was a Velie. I did not notice anything NO 33 out of the way until the cars stopped. Several men got out and covered me and my party with drawn revolvers. I was ordered to get out of my car under pain of instant death. The men were not masked. "On getting out of my car, I was thrown into one of the other cars and both cars drove rapidly away, crossing the bridge and going in a northerly direction. I was taken to a vacant house about a mile and a half beyond Pearland. After arriving there, I heard three or four other cars drive up. I could not see who came in the house, as I was blindfolded. "I was then seized and forcibly thrown to the floor and in spite of my struggles, overpowered. While struggling, I was warned that if I continued to fight, I would have my head knocked off. I was bound so that I could not move. Later a can of ether was opened and I became unconscious. Then the ambulance came and I was taken to the infirmary. Physicians who examined Cockrell after his arrival at the hospital say that the operation was performed by a skillful surgeon and that Cockrell had been rendered completely sterile. The mayor and chief of police have stated that nothing will be left undone to apprehend the guilty parties and every available man on the police force has been detailed on the case.

Fire in the basement of the Fort Collins Express-Courier office at Fort Collins destroyed paper stock and did other damage estimated at $10,000. Two men were temporarily overcome while fighting the fire. Mable Jesser, the 8-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Jesser, northwest of Loveland, died very suddenly and was buried at a private funeral. She is the third child of this family to die in two days, the other two dying within a few hours of each other of diphtheria. At a meeting of taxpayers it was unanimously decided to instruct the board of education to call an election to decide on the issue of $12,000 in bonds to enlarge the Seibert High School building, consolidate the five schools of the district and place the school on the accredited list. Henry Fowler of Branson, tried in the District Court at Trinidad for the murder of Joe Walters at that place Feb. 16, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter by the jury, which reported Fowler shot and killed Walters, with whom he had quarreled, in a pool hall at Branson. The men were former friends. A bronze memorial tablet to the memory of Glenn E. Bryant, former superintendent of the Sunday school of the United Presbyterian church at Loveland, who was killed in battle in the Argonne, has been received in that city. Funds to pay for the tablet was raised by a class of boys whom he taught in Sunday school. In the biggest session ever held by the State Board of Pardons at Cañon City, one life-term convict was pardoned, the sentences of six prisoners were commuted, forty-two appeals were denied and seven cases were continued. Harold F. Henwood, who killed Tony von Phil, noted aeronaut, in the bar-room of the Brown Palace hotel on the night of May 24, 1911, and was sentenced to life imprisonment, was denied a parole for the second time by the board. Word has been received at Loveland that C. E. Davis, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Davis of Loveland, who is now stationed with the United States army at Fort Clark, Texas, has been promoted to captain and at the same time was selected captain of the polo team, which is said to be one of the best in the United States army. Mrs. Vonnie Smith, 25 years old, died at Montrose, following three hours of terrible suffering as a result of a large dose of poison which she drank. Two years ago Mrs. Smith's youngest daughter died, and she has been of a melancholy dispersion ever since. Brooding over her daughter's death is said to have been the cause of her taking the poison. "I want to see where the bullets come from," said 8-year-old John Klein, son of a prominent farmer of Loma, near Grand Junction. The Klein boy picked up the gun, and, with the remark quoted, put his eye to the barrel. It is not known by Kroskob how it was discharged, but it is presumed that the lad either struck the hammer against a table or touched it with his foot. More than 900 applications for prospecting permits under the oil sections of the leasing act of Feb. 25, 1920, and covering the structural relations, were reported on by the United States geological survey during the past month, according to M. D. McEniry, chief of the field division of the United States general land office in Denver. The total number of reports renerefed since July 1, 1920, is nearly 5,500, it was explained. Thirty-two reports were rendered during April on applications for coal leases from the government, the reports show. CENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Partial reports received by the State Immigration Department indicate that, in spite of the depressing effects of falling prices and money stringency, the farmers of Colorado will cultivate fully as large an acreage to crops this year as they did in 1920. Reports so far received show that the cultivated area this year will be but little short of 6,000,000 acres. County assessors reported on 49,117 farms in the state last year. Reports have been tabulated up to date this year on 11,624 farms. These farms, for eleven of the leading crops, report an acreage this year of 1,195,013, or a little more than 102 acres per farm. The entire acreage reported for these crops last year was 4,192,512, or a little more than eighty acres per farm. If all farms this year should report these-crops in the same ratio as those already in, the total acreage would be above 5,000,000. The crops included in the figures given above are corn, oats, barley, winter wheat, spring wheat, rye, potatoes, grain sorghums, sweet sorghums, beans and alfalfa. Three boys were drowned in the Bartels reservoir, a small lake seven acres in area, located one mile south of Greeley, when the flat bont in which they and two companions were paddling across the small body of water sank. The three youth are Oliver Brenhan, 13 years old; Marvin Dorey, 16, and Albert Tinker, 15. All of the boys resided in Evans. John Miller, 13 years old, and Timothy O'Grady, 15 years old, who were in the bont with the other three, swam to safety when the tiny craft sank. W. L. Burnett, in charge of rodent control of the state, and his assistant, C. L. Corkins, with the local county agent, Waldo Kidder, have completed a check of the work done in pest eradication in Adams county. County farmers have been saved from $175,000 to $200,000, Mr. Burnett says, by the extermination work thus far completed. More than 125,000 acres have been baited to date, and, with the territory now under poisoning 200,000 will have been treated. Seven graduates left the high school at Berthoud and received diplomas, Dr. J. Lackland delivered the address, and every one of the graduates was presented with a scholarship for excellence in studies. Two were given scholarships in the State Teachers College, one in the State University, one in the Agricultural College, one in the School of Mines, one in Colorado College and one in Denver University. Arrangements have been made by President Victor C. Alderson of the Colorado School of Mines for the establishment of a practical mine at Idaho Springs for demonstration work to the students of the school this summer. Miami tunnel is to be used. Mine surveying, tool sharpening and practical mining will be indulged in by the students, under the direction of Dean L. S. Grant and Prof. James Underhill. Colorado and the West will have the greatest tourist travel in the history of railroad transportation this summer, according to a statement made by H. T. Cornell, division passenger agent of the American Express Company travel department for the territory between Denver and the Pacific coast, with headquarters in San Francisco. One woman is dead and heavy damage is reported to buildings and fences as the result of a high wind north of Selbert. Mrs. Frank Robinson, a farmer's wife, was killed when the wind blew down a chicken house. Mrs. Robinson, according to reports, had rushed out of the house to try to protect her chickens from the storm. Curtis Haupt, senior in the Colorado Springs High School, was awarded a four-year scholarship in Colorado College by the local Kiwanis Club. The scholarship goes to Haupt as the most proficient student in physics in a class of 192. Partial reports from county assessors received by the State Immigration Department indicate that the acreage of winter wheat in Colorado this year is fully as large as that last year and perhaps slightly larger. Partial reports to date have been received from twenty-five counties, several of which already have reported more winter wheat than their complete reports showed for last year. The sixth and eighth grades of Garfield school at Loveland, with a membership of forty-two and thirty-nine students, respectively, have maintained a perfect record during the entire nine months of the school year, and not a single case of tardiness or absence was recorded during the entire year. This is a record for Loveland schools. Robert Bishop, 15-year-old son of H M. Bishop of the Riverside section near Montrose, is dead as a direct result of a fall four weeks ago from the roof of the house onto a pump handle, which pierced his side. Young Bishop was sweeping snow from the roof of the house when he slipped and fell, landing on the pump handle ten feet below. One of the immediate results of the reduction in wages of unskilled labor on railroads announced by the United States Labor Board, effective July 1, will be the return to work of 5,000 men on railroad lines in Colorado alone, according to statements made by railroad officials. Between 1,000 and 1,200 men will be employed by the Denver & Rio Grande and a similar number by the Colorado & Southern. Other lines operating in Colorado will expand their unskilled forces. These lines include the Santa Fé, Burlington, Union Pacific and Rock Island. UNIONISTS GET 40 OF 52 SEATS ALL ARE CELEBRATING ELEC TION OF ULSTER PARLIA-MENT IN BELLAST. DE VALERA IS BEATEN NATIONALISTS WILL WIN FOUR SEATS AND SINN FEINERS Belfast, May 27.—Unionists have done better in the elections than they anticipated, the Sinn Feiners worse than their prophets predicted and the Nationalists no more than they looked for. All are celebrating—the Unionists because they have won, the Nationalists and Sinn Fein because they have made their protest against the partition of Ireland. Daniel McCann, chief lieutenant in Belfast of Joseph Devlin, Nationalist leader, had hoped for fourteen seats, but did not really believe more than twelve Nationalists and Sinn Feiners could be returned, and he proved a good prophet. Unofficial returns show that the Unionists made their greatest gains in Belfast, where it is expected they will have fifteen or sixteen seats. Joseph Devlin is the only Nationalist or Sinn Feiner who will have a seat for Belfast, and even he was beaten in his own stronghold for first place on the poll by his Unionist opponent, T. H. Burn. His colleague, Alderman Byrne, had only 311 votes, or 10,000 fewer than his leader. This was due to the Nationalists, giving all their first votes to Devlin. Sinn Feiners did better than Byrne, but on the first ballot they were well behind the Unionists. The Socialists here, as in other constituencies lost their deposit, which they will have to forfeit if they do not receive a certain number of votes. In Antrim the Unionists were pretty certain of six of the seven seats, the other going to Devlin. Louis Walsh, Sinn Feined, who was permitted to leave the detention camp to take part in the election and who headed the poll in the county council election, is now nearer the bottom of the poll, although there are many Sinn Feiners in north Antrim and the Glens of Antrim. The Unionist, Barbour, headed the list with some 17,000 as compared with Walsh's less than 5,000. At Derry the Unionists elected their three candidates—all they had nominated—thus leaving the other two seats to Prof. John MacNell, Sinn Feiner, and his Nationalist running mate. In County Down, where Sir James Craig, Ulster premier designate, and Eamonn De Valera, Republican leader, were opponents and where both will be elected, the seats will be divided equally between the two sides, two and two. The count in Armagh and Tyrone is belated. The percentage of votes was high in West Belfast. It reached 94. It is noted that in many instances the candidate whose name was first on the list, which was arranged alphabetically, received the most votes. For example, Sir R. Anderson, Unionist, had nearly 2,000 more than Professor MacNeil in Derry, where the Sinn Feiner was expected to lead. The Nationalists probably will win eight seats and the Sinn Feiners four. Deficiency Appropriation Passed. Washington.—The $100,000,000 defiency appropriation bill, carrying $200,000 for prohibition enforcement until July 1, was passed by the House. Except for addition of the prohibition enforcement item and the elimination of a provision for a first assistant secretary of treasury at $10,000 a year, the measure went through virtually as framed. Major items in the bill include $61,852,000 for the shipping board, $15,000,000 for rehabilitation of former service men and $8,710,000 for hospital services. White Made Short Will. Washington—The will of Edward Douglas White, former chief justice of the United States, has been filed for probate. It was executed June 26, 1915, and is contained in two sentences, fifty-one words in all. It reads: "This is my last will. I give, bequeath and devise to my wife, Letta M. White, in complete and perfect ownership all my rights and property of every kind and nature, whether real, personal or mixed, wherever situated, appointing her executrix of my estate without bond and giving her seis in thereof." Sava "Oil Shale Costly." Chicago.—The oil shale industry in the United States cannot compete with petroleum until the price of the latter goes considerably above present levels, Martin J. Gavin, oil shale technologist of the United States bureau of mines, told the International Railway Fuel Association. Development work should continue, he said, in preparation for the day when the oil extracted from the shale rock of Utah, Colorado and other states can be marketed in competition with the ground oils. --- 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.

WALKER, NOTED NEGRO PHILANTHROPIST, LIVES IN OUR MEMORY. THE name of Madame C. J. Walker will not be easily effaced from the memory of Americans, especially the members of her race, as from the great philanthropic principles that guided her very existence, the results of her acts keep ever green in our memory and the hearts of our people, a character who demonstrated the great achievements to be gained when thrift, economy, perseverance to accomplish and determination, to reach the top of the ladder were essential qualities in one's life. But two years ago last Wednesday, May 25, this noble, prominent, useful, generous-hearted member of our race was cut off in the height of her career, having bowed in obedience to the summons that comes to us all sooner or later, when she died at her beautiful palatial residence at Irvington-on-Hudson. Being just in the prime of life, having been born in Delta, La., 1867, her fifty-two years of life furnish a remarkable rise from poverty to wealth, and the wonderful business acumen she exhibited when difficulties seemed insurmountable, made her command the attention, respect and admiration of both races of this as well as other countries. Her charities were extensive. Educational institutions, hospitals and several individuals have become beneficiaries during and after her lifetime, and the many expressions of thankfulness and comments upon her general acts of kindness can be heard now as when she existed in the flesh. Truly it can be said of her, "She is not dead," and a greater example could not be left a people, a race to emulate that which will be profitable to us and succeeding generations. THE COLORADO STATESMAN, in remembering the anniversary of this great and good woman, endorses the idea that she has set a standard which is being followed to the good of her people. "SLEEP ON AND TAKE THY REST." CHRISTOPHER JAMES PERRY, VETERAN EDITOR, DEAD. A MAN who proved beyond a doubt his ability to lead his people in the journalistic field, as also a defender of right and a fearless prosecutor of wrong and evildoers, and who has left a record that the people of his race can be well proud of; a man whose worth the citizens of Philadelphia can justly memorialize for his contribution to their moral, social, religious, political and literary uplift, and who by his continuous appeal to those in authority, to credit human beings with the God-given right of equality in creation, equality in death and therefore fair play and justice should be accorded every human being irrespective of the color of the skin or the racial ties while he lives, has caused a people to be hopeful and to be imbued with the spirit or the determination to overthrow the tyrant's power, this man, CHRITSOPHER JAMES PERRY, the veteran editor of his race, passed into the mysteries of the Great Beyond, Sunday, May 15, having nearly reached the biblical allotment of life, being 67 years old, and having a sorrowful community to mourn his irreparable loss. Following our deceased brother from the time he started the "Philadelphia Tribune," and exchanging journals with him since we entered the field nearly thirty years, we can faithfully bear testimony to the inspiration that we received from his editorials on momentous questions and great problems that have come about during his career, and in many instances the pen of Chris Perry demonstrated it "was mightier than the sword," from the successful results that saved his people from harm and danger. As his colleague, Elijah Hodges of Philadelphia, in a very fitting description of the man and his qualities, puts it, we, while mourning his loss and proud of the fact that such a man could be given to the world, and hence we quote the following from Mr. Hodges' tribute to the late editor: "He had a magnificent personality and as an orator he was logical and impressive. The tenor of his way was the most even of any man whom I have known. He was the same yesterday, today and always. He suffered much but was patient through it all. That Christian fortitude which enabled him to bear with calm resignation the sad realization of his approaching end must also have inspired the thought, 'Gods will be done.' Whether as a church man, member of City Council or newspaper editor he was the same unassuming, splendid type of American manhood. A gentleman to the manner born, his relations with men were conducted upon that principle. He was a public-spirited citizen and a lover of his race." The foregoing offers a consolation which we feel will help in alleviating the burden of the relatives and friends of our departed brother, and the COLORADO STATESMAN, in offering its expressions of deepest sympathy on behalf of a number of Philadelphia residents of Denver and the West, takes this opportunity of expressing how keenly it feels the loss of Christopher James Perry, and commends his relatives to the care and consolation of HIM that doeth best. MEMORIAL DAY. s again with its deep in commemoration of this day the unknown, solving the with this event it linked comes mingled with grace, our friends and acquired performed in the decora proof in itself that we among us. A reminder of joy, as life with its vicissitious with the good thou the opposite condition g place where lifes curta THIS anniversary comes again with its deep impressions, and many who shared in the usual commemoration of this day a year ago have joined the great throng in the unknown, solving the mystery of what lies beyond the grave. While with this event it linked a sadness which moves us to tears, yet a consolation comes mingled with gratitude that our loved ones, our heroes fallen in battle, our friends and acquaintances are alive in our memory, and the service performed in the decoration of their graves with flowers, flags, etc., offers proof in itself that we do not forget they lived in the flesh and moved among us. A reminder of things in common is also presented to us on this day, as life with its vicissitudes forces upon us this fact, that whether we are blessed with the good things of this world or have unfortunately experienced the opposite condition, there is an end of the journey, a common meeting place where lifes curtain falls, and all the actors on its stage play their part having the same ending in its drama or the one finale of its music—DEATH. But this reminder, however striking, is modified by the knowledge we have of the lives they lived, the service they gave, the usefulness to their fellow men and their country, and their help to civilization in offering themselves on the altar of sacrifice so that man may play true to his fellowman. Shared alike by all classes of the community, there is no chance for occupation of the mind with any evil influences, as this brings to one man's sympathy for man, and proves him a creature of a sympathetic Creator. As we go forward in this, another commemoration of Memorial Day, let those of us who will be spared to see it give thanks for our existence and our preservation, and though our hearts may be burdened with sorrow over departed ones, yet we can be relieved by the thought that they are ever green in our memory and the service we rendered in the decoration of the graves of our honored dead. Burden Concert Company Tuesday Evening, May 31st AT 8:00 P.M. TWO DANGEROUS BILLS. THE South—the Negro hating, Negro oppressing South—is still at it. The latest outburst comes from T. H. Caraway, a representative from Arkansas, who last week introduced in Congress two vicious measures aimed directly at the citizenship of the Negro. One of them, Senate Bill 1796, is designed to prevent intermarriage of the Negro and Caucasian race and is so crudely worded as to be an open insult to every self respecting citizen. However, bad as it is, the other one, Senate Bill 1795, for pure villainy, audacity and hellishness has never been surpassed in the history of the nation. A BILL "Prohibiting the enlistment of any member of the Negro race" in the military or naval services of the United States of America, and directing the discharge of all members of the Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States. Be it enacted by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled: That hereafter, in times of peace, no member of the Negro race shall be enlisted in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States of America. Sec. 2. That all members of the Negro race now serving in any branch of the military or naval service of the United States shall be discharged from such service within sixty days after the passage of this Act. Sec. 3. That no member of the Negro race shall be admitted "to either the Military Academy or the Naval Academy of the United States." In the light of the past loyalty of the Negro, his heroic devotion in every hour of the Nation's crisis, his sacrifices upon the battle fields of Europe in the world's greatest war, this is one of the most monumental insults ever offered the race. The N. A. A. C. P. has opened a bitter fight against both of these bills and has called upon the Denver Branch to send a vigorous protest. A letter from John W. Hardy, now in Washington, states he will co-operate with us in this fight. The Brushburners, the juvenile department of the American Woodmen, will give a MAY PARTY AND MUSIC-ALE at Old Colony Hall, Tuesday, May 24th. Refreshments served. Admission 15 cents.

OPEN LETTER TO COUNCILMAN 5 HARRY W. RISLEY. Mr. Harry W. Risley, Councilman, 3rd District, Denver, Colorado: Dear Sir: ‘The Denver Express of Monday, May 28rd, printed a copy of your letter to Hon, Frank M. Downer, Commissioner Hof Safety and Excise, protesting against colored citizens holding dances in your section of the city. Quoting your letter it says: “There are sec- tions of the city where there is a large } per cent of colored people and their social activities should be confined to that section,” who commissioned you to say when and where any people should indulge their social pleasures | merely hecause of race or color? You make no charge of misconduct or im- _propriety. When you do so and prove sufficient offense, we would readily join in a protest against a repetition. , But the burden of your protest rests solely upon locality and color, ‘This can only be. construed as a covert ‘though wanton effort to Introduce into the affairs of Denver the despicable principle of racial segregation. Noth- ing is more thoroughly un-American, and has been so declared by the high- yest courts in the land, In the light of your letter we cannot presume you to be aware of this. We seek no special favors but stand four-square for our every right as American citizens. ) GEORGE W. GROSS, 4 President. CARRIE STEELE McCLAIN, y Secretary. Denver Branch, N. A. A. C. P.

Delaware St. Shon: 710 6, 26th Ave. Thone York S990 FRANCE HONORS AMERICAN DEAD International French and Americans engaged in Memorial day exercises in the burial place or Suresnes, near Paris, where many American heroes were laid to rest. Under Red, White and Blue Blossoms Describing a visit paid last year to the battlefields of France, Faith Hunter Dodge wrote as follows in the New York Tribune: "Here's flowers for you," wrote Shakespeare. "Here's flowers for you," repent Americans and French, lavish in their giving for Our Boys' Memorial day. "Here's flowers for you," echo the sun-kissed hills and valleys of France, never more prodigal of blossoms. And every American soldier's grave in France is heaped high with wreaths and flowers on Memorial day. Daffodils in wild profusion, blue iris, red poppies and peonies, sweet-smelling white syringas and pale primrose find their places among the numberless wreaths of immortelles. Flowers Everywhere. From slimiest shell holes and poisonous trenches myriad violets are springing; they seem to have sought each sacred spot where a soldier fell. Down in desert dugouts we pick up bits of shrapnel and underneath find violets and anemones. They thrust their petals through the wreckage of crushed and crumbling stones and plaster of ruined houses; they hug the twisted rails of abandoned Zeppelin-torn railroad tracks; they wind their slight stems about barbed wire and peek through the fallen, tattered, torn remnants of camouflage. The sobs which rise unblidden in the throat of every visitor to this holy ground are stifled at the sight of them; for they bring an indisputable air of beauty, purity, peace hope and happiness to this desolate, devastated, striken land. Recently I went back to the battlefields of Verdun, St. Mihiel, the Argonne, Belleau Woods and Soissons, there I found ruin, desolation, destruction indescribable—and ashes. But the pussy willows were in bud beside the road, and perce-neige thrust their snowy petals through broken stone and rusted iron. Out in the American cemetery at Ploisy every grave had its own fresh, dew-molestened roses; on the graves at Juvigny were hyacinths and illies; in Belleau woods buttercups paved the ground with gold and in the Argonne violets and anemones blossomed unafraid. Where 500 Americans Lie. In the little white-cross cemetery at Verdun, where lie five hundred khaki-clad heroes under the Stars and Stripes, anemones, narcissus, hyacinths and illies are swinging in the breeze, shedding their perfume like censers in a temple. Children trudged daily out to Romagne, their black aprons filled with flowers and plants which their loving hands transplanted to the American They sleep! No music of bugle calls Can break the calm of that dreamless rest; The rattling volley of musket falls In swift farewell o'er each quiet breast. You would not wake them with battle cry! You would not call them to fight and die! --- graves guarded by their 23,000 shining white crosses and their 23,000 flags. And far away beyond the plains of the Wovee the violet blue of the clear, soft atmosphere meets the infinite blue of the skies. The very soil of France, revivified and triumphant, is joining in the people's paeans of praise to the heroic soldiers who fell for a just cause. "How kind the world is!" exclaimed Helen Wolcott when she found her aviator brother's grave, at Laffincourt. "How kind the world is!" she cried in a letter to her father, Dr. Wolcott, head of the Smithsonian institution, at Washington. And because that letter is typical, because it tells the story of the American graves in France, here it is for others who have known the anguish of bereavement: An American Boy's Grave. "Oh, Daddy dear, I found our boy today, just above a poor little ruined town, a town of qualit narrow streets, hollow-eyed houses, crumbled walls and burnt-out desolation everywhere. Just above and near the top of a low broad hill was a little cemetery in a rectangle of tall pine trees, with a vine-covered wooden fence around it. "It is a country of low rolling hills, and, as far as the eyes can reach, nothing but unfenced fields. "Stuart is almost in the middle of the rectangle, with perhaps two hun- --- True warriors they come—no bitter tears are shed; They place their flags and flowers on soldier graves; A short, sharp volley o'er their fallen braves, And then a sacred silence for the dead. I love this custom-'tis to noble men Sweet tribute—yet it seems a praver beside; And to the principles for which they died A silent pledge—a nation's great Amen! Amen! Amen! Oh, do you hear, you alm. Who sleep in peaceful glory, row on row- Here and in Flanders where the poppies blow? Amen! Amen! You have not died in vain! —Ray E. Fineholt, in New York Sun. dred others. A big wooden cross heads his grave with his name clearly marked. It is the biggest cross in the little cemetery, looking on toward the soft purple hills. Daddy, I was so happy to find our boy, so happy to find him, and as I knelt there in the cold and wet, I thanked God he wasn't 'American unknown.' "He could not have a happier resting place. I think, buried there with French on either side, in a real French burying ground, with peasants' stone crosses from before the war, and flowers." Cemeteries in France. American relatives and friends who wish to visit the graves of their dead soldiers in France will be aided by the following table of the Principal American burial places and how to reach them: The largest American cemetery is at Romague, with 23,061 graves, in which lie most of the Americans who gave their lives in the great Argonne drive. From Paris by train to Ver- Our Heroes dun (Gare de l'Est), then to Dun-Doulcon; American Red Cross transportation for relatives from Dun-Doulcon, commonly known as Dun-sur-Meuse. Here the Red Cross has opened a hotel with sleeping accommodations for 20 persons and a dining room. At Thiaucourt, reached by conveyances from Toul or Verdun, there are between 4,000 and 5,000 graves. From Paris by train (Gara de l'Est) to Toul or Verdun. More than 1,500 New Yorkers who took part in the smashing of the Hindenburg line are buried at Bony, reached by conveyance furnished by the American Red Cross to relatives from St. Quentin. From Paris to St. Quentin by train from the Gare du Nord. Three miles from Soissons is the cemetery of Ploisy, with 2,000 American graves. From Paris to Soissons by train from the Gare du Nord. At Beileau Wood. At Belleau Wood, reached from Paris by train to Chateau Thierry and from Chateau Thierry by Red Cross bus (service for relatives only), a cemetery of about 2,700 graves. There is a Red Cross hut at the cemetery. At Flesim there is located perhaps the most beautiful American cemetery in France, a plot of 1,700 graves. Behind it roll the glistening hills, now green, except where the patches of red popples, bluebells and white daisies unfurl the flag of France beside the Stars and Stripes; before it, nestled in the valley, are the splendid ruins of torn white stone houses, schools, stores and churches, crumbling, pulverized dust and broken rock. Flesim is reached direct by train from the Gare de l'Est, Paris. The cemetery at Toul is a ten-minute walk from the railroad station. Toul is reached from Paris by train direct from the Gare de l'Est. There are more than 1,200 graves. Near Paris, at Suresnes, there are more than a thousand graves. This is a 45-minutes ride by train from Paris. Take the St. Cloud car and change at Suresnes. A cemetery of nearly 4,000 graves is located at Seringes, reached from Paris by train to Fere-en-Tardenois, from Fere-en-Tardenois by auto or by train to Chateau Thierry, and from Chateau Thierry by Red Cross bus (for relatives only). At Lambezelles, reached by auto from Brest (from Paris to Brest by train from the Gare Montparnasse), a cemetery of about 1,800 graves. The isolated grave of Lieut. Quentin Roosevelt is four miles from the railroad station at Coulonges, near Fereen-Tardenois, which is reached by train from the Gare de l'Est, Paris. Day's True Significance Following the thought expressed by Lincoln, at Gettysburg, the true significance of Memorial day is a rededication of the lives and purposes of living Americans to those ideals of government for which so many of our cherished sleepers have paid "the last full measure of devotion." We can smother their resting places with flowers—it costs little. We can listen to sonorous eulogies of their deeds and their supreme sacrifices. But the highest tribute we can pay the glorious dead is to take from their hands "the falling torch" and carry it aloft.—Chicago Herald and Examiner. No flower too sweet for Our Heroes' graves! --- They paid the price for our peaceful land; They saved the banner with all its stars. And now they are resting, a silent band; Neither strife nor danger their slumber mars. You would not call them to earth again! To face its sorrow, its toil and pain! Armistice Day, 1865 and 1918 Grandfathers, fathers, uncles and great uncles of the A. E. F. remind those youngsters that there is an other date beside November 11 that is bright on the calendars of war. It's Sunday, April 9, 1865, the anniversary of the surrender of Gen. Robert E. Lee, commander of the Confederate Armies. What was that "armistice day," or rather that unconditional surrender day, fifty-six years ago like? What happened there at Appomattox Court House, Va., when the Gray gave in to the Blue? The khaki would like to know. Let John M. Surface, one time eighteen-year-old private in the Seventh Indiana volunteer infantry, and entitled to a wound chevron for a bullet hole through the right shoulder, received in the Battle of the Wilderness, tell about it. "It was Sunday, April 9, 1865, and a fine day," Mr. Surface said. "Just one week before we'd captured Richmond, the capital of the Confederacy. From there, we'd fought a rearguard action with the retreating Confederates 70 miles west to Appomattox Court House. We were in a sparsely settled, rolling country, tobacco plant and not much else sprouting in its red-black soil. We camped near the little town and stacked arms. It was an out-of-the-way place, but great things happen at little places." "Sure, Senilis was that kind of a Joint," agreed the youngster from the A. E. F. "We were encamped along an old washed out road, all of the regiment that hadn't been left at the Wilderness and other places," the older veteran continued. "Across a ravine through the timber, we could see the old McLean house. We had seen generals and their staffs entering it and coming out all day and we believed we'd seen flags of truce." "Bet the camp was chuck full of rumors," the A. E. F. ventured. "It was," admitted the former private of the Seventh Indiana. "But finally we saw a group of horsemen trotting up. I recognized the old forage cap and the hook nose of Gen. George Meade, commander of the Army of the Potomac. We hollered 'Hey, general, have they surrendered?'" "What! All you buck privates hollered 'Hey, general!'" "Certainly, we were old campaigners together," replied the old-time The McLean House, Where the Sur- render of General Lee Took Place. The McLean House, Where the Surrender of General Lee Took Place. Yank. "The general hollered back, 'The whole army of Northern Virginia has surrendered. You get to go home, boys!' "Then we started to celebrate. There were from sixty thousand to one hundred thousand Union soldiers around about. Every flag in the army was unsheathed. We wrapped our officers in the colors, put them on stumps and made them make speeches. All the din and noise was terrific." "We were quiet after 11 o'clock," offered the A. E. F., "but some of us got into Paris later." "But most all were wild to go home," the old Yank said, while the young one nodded vigorously and sympathetically, "That was April. After the grand review in Washington I was discharged in July." "Some speed," commented the A. E. F., enviously. "Say, that's the way to end a war."—Kansas City Star. The Last Salute. We pass and leave you lying, No need for rhetoric, for funeral music, for melancholy bugle- galls. No need for tears now, no need for regret. We took our risk with you; you died and we live. We take your noble gift, salute for the last time those lines of pitiable crosses, those solitary mounds, those unknown graves, and turn to live our lives out as we may. Which of us were the fortune- mate—who can tell? For you there is silence and the cold twi- light drooping in awful desi- tion over those motionless lands. For us sunlight and the sound of women's voices, song and hope and laughter, despair, gay- ey, love—life. Lost, silent terrible comrades, we, who might have died, salute you.—From the Anglo-French Review.

PIONEER HATTERS OF THE WEST. WE MAKE OLD HATS NEW. Are Those Spring and Seasons. _LOT IS SUFFICIENT Truck as Source of Mineral er and Proteins Is Much More Important Than Many People Fully Realize. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The old adage, "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," might quite as well have read "a carrot or an onion a day," and probably the result would be about the same as regards reducing the doctor's bill. Vegetables of all kinds are necessary in the diet, but particularly valuable are those available in the spring and summer, say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Value of Vegetables in Diet. Value of Vegetables in Diet Without going into definite figures it may be stated that the food value of vegetables, such as beans, peas, potatoes, sweet corn, beats and carrots, very high. When considered from the standpoint of the food value of the crop that may be produced on a given area of land, beans, beets and carrots are ahead of almost any other garden crop. One-tenth acre planted entirely to carrots will yield about a ton, and in energy this would be equal to about 370 pounds of average beef. One-tenth acre of beets would also yield about a ton and be equal to 380 pounds of average beef. One-tenth acre of lima beans would yield about 120 pounds of dry beans, equal to about 220 pounds of beef. As sources of mineral matter and proteins needed by the body, vegetables are much more valuable than 100 Vegetables Furnish Considerable Portion of Needed Mineral Substances and Vitamines in Diet, Beside Bulk, many people realize. Also they supply roughage, which is believed to keep the body in good working order. In the course of nature, human beings as well as some animals seem to have so developed that they need a certain amount of roughage, which is best supplied by the coarser vegetable foods. During recent years there has been a growing tendency to reduce the roughage in cereals and some other foods, and, in order to offset this, an extra effort should be made to supply plenty of vegetables and fruits. In addition, fresh vegetables are among the best sources of what, for lack of a better name, have been called vitamines. Nobody has ever been able to stand a vitamine up by itself, or a group of them by themselves, so that we could look at them, but it is known that they are present just the same, because of the action that they have upon the human body. Eat More Vegetables. Too much cannot be said in favor of a larger proportion of vegetables in the diet of the American people. The English are considered a nation of meat eaters, but it has been shown that Americans eat more meat per capita than do the English. A certain amount of meat in the diet is highly desirable, but this should always be balanced by a sufficient supply of vegetables. One of the reasons that many people have to a great extent cut vegetables from their diet is that they have been unable to get fresh vegetables and do not relish stale ones. The individual home vegetable garden planted either in the back yard, or a convenient piece of land, not only solves the problem of supplying the family with vegetables at low cost and in abundance, but guarantees their freshness. CARE OF HEATER IN SUMMER Avoid Danger of Rust by Cleaning In Spring and Storing in Thoroughly Dry Place. There is danger of rust when a stove or furnace stands unused for some time. Smokepipes should be taken down in the spring, cleaned and stored in a dry place. The doors should be left open to keep the interior dry. A lump of unslaked lime on the grate will collect the moisture and thus prevent rust, home economic specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture say. Leave the boiler of a steam or hot-water heater filled with water up to the safety valve, during the summer. ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION SAVE FAT OBTAINED IN PREPARING MEAT Obviates Necessity of Buying Butter and Lard. Outline of Old-Fashioned Method of Clarifying Fats So That It May Be Used in Kitchen—Ice Chest Is Quite Handy. Care used in saving and caring for all fat obtained from cooking meat in the home will save many a dollar which otherwise would have to be spent for butter, lard or other cooking fats. Fats derived from the cooking of bacon, ham, chicken, beef and other meats, should be kept, each in its own receptacle, to be used for different purposes. Household specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture say an old-fashioned method of clarifying fat from the soup kettle, or from cooked meats, so that it may be used in the kitchen, to add the cold fat to a liberal quantity of cold water, then heat slowly and let cook for an hour or more. When cold, the cake of fat is removed and the lower portion, which will contain the small particles of meat, should be scraped away and the white, clean fat saved. If the flavor or color, or both, are not satisfactory the process may be repeated several times. Another method, often recommended, is to cook a number of slices of raw potato in the boiling fat When an ice chest is used, fat in small quantities may easily be kept sweet for cooking purposes. If lard is rendered at home in quantity sufficient for a long time, it should be kept covered in tins or earthen jars, in a cool, dry place, as in a cellar or store-room. GOOD SUPPER TOMATO SAUCE New and Appetizing Ways of Prepare Ing Eggs While Cheap Add Variety to Menu. Eggs are at their cheapest now, and new and appetizing ways of preparing them add variety to the menu. Here is a recipe recommended by the experimental kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture; 2 cupfuls tomato pulp $ \frac{1}{2} $ teaspoonful cellet and lime juice $ \frac{1}{2} $ ry salt tablespoonfuls flour. Make a sauce of the ingredients. Put one-half of the sauce in a baking dish, break six eggs, one at a time, into a saucer and slide each egg into the sauce, taking care not to break the yolk. Cover with the remaining sauce and sprinkle three tablespoonfuls of grated cheese over the top. Put in the oven and bake until the eggs are set. Serve hot on toasted bread or with boiled rice. PEACHES MAKE FINE BUTTER Found Quite Useful by Housekeeper in Spring When Jams and Jellies Are Running Low. Springtime often finds the housekeeper's supply of jelly and jams in a depleted condition. When this is the case, peach butter made from canned and dried peaches may well come to the aid. The following recipe recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture food specialists' is delicious: To each four pounds of dried peaches use two quarts of canned peaches. Soak the dried peaches in water several hours and cook until tender. Add the canned peaches and rub the pulp through a colander or wire sleeve. Stir 2½ pounds of sugar into this pulp and cook slowly, stirring often, for two hours, or until of the right thickness. Pack while hot and sterilize like peach butter. GIVE ATTENTION TO CLOTHES Washing and Pressing of Linen and Cotton Suitings Can Be Done Quite Nicely at Home. Cotton and linen suits can be pressed and laundered at home. Just can generally be shaken from them, for they do not hold it as wool and silk do. Brushing tends to rub the dirt into cotton and linen fibers. Heavy cotton and linen suitings should be pressed on the wrong side or with a thin cloth spread over them. This makes them look more like new and prevents shine on seams and marks of the iron.

The power of little things has so often been noted, that we accept it as an axiom, and yet fail to see, in each beginning, the possibility of great events.—F. P. Edwards. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. A reliable cake is always an addition to any card index and the following is one which will be cherished: Cake Orange Cake.—Cream three-fourths of a cupful of butter with one and one-fourth cupfuls of sugar; add the yolks of six eggs, and one-half cupful of cold water, two and one-half cupfuls of pastry flour, four level teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Mix and beat ten minutes; bake in two layers. Filling.—Take one egg, one cupful of sugar, the juice of one-half an orange, a teaspoonful of lemon juice, two teaspoonfuls of flour, the grated rind of an orange; cook all together in a double boiler until smooth and thick. Velvet Sponge Cake.—Separate the whites and yolks of six eggs, reserving two of the whites to use for icing. To the yolks add two cupfuls of white sugar and one-quarter of a cupful of boiling water. Beat long and hard, add two and one-half cupfuls of flour which has been sifted three times with two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. Add two teaspoonfuls of lemon extract, three-fourths of a cupful of hot water, one-half teaspoonful of salt. Beat well. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and bake in a loaf. Jelly Roll.—Beat four eggs with one cupful of sugar until light; add one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, one-half teaspoonful of soda and the same of salt sifted with one cupful of flour. Flavor to taste and bake in a dripping pan. Spread with jelly and roll while hot. Turn the cake from the pan onto a dampened towel; trim edges if baked too crisp. Spread with jelly and roll in the towel. A dish made famous because a delicacy served in one of the great clubs of London is very simple and most unusual. Lamb chops are broiled until cooked, then seasoned and cooled. Prepare a white sauce, using one-fourth of a cupful each of butter and flour and one cupful of milk. Season and add three or four tablespoonfuls of finely minced, cooked ham. Cool and cover the chops on both sides. Dip in crumbs and set away to become firm, then fry in deep fat and serve piping hot.

A small bunch of chives will, if cared for, spread and furnish flavor for any number of good dishes which are easily prepared. Toasted Cheese Sandwiches. Cut rounds of bread, spread with butter, then with grated cheese which has been well seasoned and mixed with cream to the consistency for spreading. Place the sandwiches in the toasting rack and toast until brown on both sides. Another nice way to serve these is to saute them in a little butter until well browned and serve them hot with a lettuce salad. Cheese Fondu.—Scald one pint of milk, add two cupfuls of fine bread-crumbs, four well-beaten egg yolks and one cupful of finely cut cheese. Season well with cayenne and salt. Cut and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs and pour into a well-greased baking dish and bake until firm. It is best in cooking any custard dish to set the baking dish in a pan of hot water to bake. Cheese Timbals.—Mix four eggs lightly beaten with one cupful of milk, one cupful of breadcrumbs and one cupful of cheese finely chopped. Season with salt, paprika and a pinch of mustard. Turn into well-greased timbal molds and set in a pan of hot water. Bake until firm. Turn out *.nd serve with: Bread Sauce.—Cook 30 minutes in a double boiler, one cupful of milk one-fourth of a cupful of fine bread-crumbs and one-half an onion stuck with three cloves. Remove the onion, add a few grains of cayenne, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt and one tablespoonful of butter. Serve this around roast game or eggs or the cheese timbals. Sprinkle with buttered crumbs. The usual method when using the alligator pear as salad is to combine It with an equal portion of other ingredients.

WHAT TO DO WITH CHEESE. With cheese the suggested comp with the moon and equally as high in price, we have been careful in the amounts used. At present, however, it is getting back somewhat to its old price and it will be more generally In price, we have been careful in the amounts used. At present, however, it is getting back somewhat to its old price and it will be more generally used. Cheese is a valuable food, being highly concentrated and with no waste. One needs to consume twice as much beef, pound for pound, as cheese in order to have the same food value. Beef contains more iron than cheese, but this can be supplied by green vegetables. Cheese contains more lime than meat and much less is needed to make a satisfying meal. There are any number of combinations with cheese which will take the place of meat and add an infinite variety to the menu. Wisconsin produces a large part of all the cheese made in the United States and the "buy at home" slogan should be kept in mind when marketing. Imported cheeses are very popular, but at present nearly every variety is produced in the United States and in many cases of superior quality. The gastronomic delights of bread and cheese and kisses we have been taught are the sine qua non of living and though the sanitary board bars the latter we still have cheese and bread with which to worry along. The following dishes will help in suggesting a few of the ways we may use this delicious food: Cheese With Celery.—Cook the coarser portions of celery cut in half-inch pieces, or the root or celeriac may be used cut in dice. Place a layer of celery in the bottom of a well-buttered baking dish. Cover with grated or finely cut cheese, using as much or little as the occasion or supply demands, then add a few spoonfuls of a rich white sauce made of two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked together and one cupful of rich milk added; salt and pepper to taste. Repeat, having the white sauce on top, then sprinkle thickly with buttered crumbs and bake in a moderate oven until the crumbs are well browned. Serve from the dish. Once tried, this will be a cherished recipe. When Earth's last picture is dusted And the floors are washed and dried— When the oldest rug is beaten And the youngest bug has died— We shall rest and, believe me, we'll need it.

There are many tasks which seem of little importance to the woman who has kept house for year but which are a bugbear to those less experienced. The newly-wed who will not ask advice or is ashamed to confess her ignorance has many hard knockes to take as she journeys along in her housekeeping. ```markdown ``` This is the time of year to wash or send to the cleaners, the winter blankets. Prepare a suds of good soap and put the blankets into a good big tub of water and have it as hot as the hands can bear, washing one blanket at a time, using a plunger or small suction hand washer. Those who use a power machine that does not rub the clothes will find that satisfactory. Woolen needs careful handling to keep it from pulling and shrinking. Never rub on a board but squeeze with the hands and wring through a loose wringer or simply squeeze out the water and let it drip on the line. A warm windy day is the best for drying blankets, then if they are brushed vigorously to raise the nap they will be fluffy and look like new. Fold and pack with a handful of cloves or a small piece of cotton saturated with turpentine to keep the moths from troubling them. Heavy suits and wraps which will not be used during the summer should be aired, brushed and put away in moth-proof bags or chests. Leather chairs may be kept looking well by rubbing them with linseed oil and vinegar, using one part of vinegar to two of oil. Polish with a silk cloth after rubbing the oil mixture into the leather. Fresh blood stains on wool may be removed if starch is applied at once, rubbing it in well, then when dry brush and all spots will disappear. Silver if wrapped in canton flannel and kept in an airtight receptacle with a piece of camphor will not tarnish. To soften brown sugar to roll, put the nose of the teakettle steaming with boiling water into the bag of sugar for a few minutes; it will soften and moisten it so that it can be quickly rolled.
