THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY N. A. A. C. P. ISSUED CALL TO NATION Twelfth Annual Conference at Detroit Demands Square Deal for Negro. VOL. XXVII. THE National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today published the call to the Nation adopted by resolution at the final meeting of the twelfth annual conference in Detroit. The call was presented by Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio Legislature, and read as follows: Call to the Nation. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in its twelfth annual conference, meeting in this great crisis of the world's reconstruction, would remind the Nation that from our very first conference we have planted our agitation and action upon a careful and thorough investigation of the truth concerning the Negro problem. Often when we have published in our organ, The Crisis, and in letters and articles in the press, our findings and conclusions, we have been accused of exaggeration. Today we stand vindicated before the world in the revelations of Georgia, and, knowing that Georgia is little, if any, worse than half a dozen other states, we solemnly adjure this Nation to give more serious attention and more earnest action to this festering social sore. Lynching and mob violence against Negoes still looms as our most indefensible national crime, and unless the present administration takes early action by legal enactment, it will stand condemned of all thoughtful citizens, north and south. Increasingly the Negro at Washington, Chicago and Tulsa has been forced to give his life in self-defense. No man can do less for his family and people, and it is a cruel campaign of lying that represents this fight for life as organized aggression. Negroes are not fools. Eleven million poor laborers do not seek war on a hundred million powerful neighbors. But they cannot and will not die without raising a hand when the Nation lets its offscourings and bandits insult, harry, loot and kill them. What is the cause of the new conflict of race in America? It is not simply a growing sense of manhood on the part of the blacks; it is Increased lack of sympathy and sense of justice on the part of the whites, and this arises from the snapping of those human bonds which must exist between neighbors. If the Negro child is not educated; if the Negro is segregated in federal departments and Oklahoma cities; if he is publically insulted by "Jim Crow" cars; if he is treated unjustly in the courts, as in the twelve pending Arkansas peonage cases; if in the army and navy the Negro is grossly discriminated against and faces tons for further discrimination in the national guard; if he has not voice in administration of the law, especially as to labor, agriculture and education; and if, finally, the Nation is ing honeycombed by secret societies the Ku Klux Klan, who stir up hatred by inuendo and appeal to lowest brute instincts—if all these are done, how can we help but the human sympathy, the spirit of Prince of Peace, the strong faith in the desire for humble, effective operation which alone can save civilization? ORIGINAL IN FOOR CONDITION Men and women of America, the program of those who would save America from bitter racial hatred and conflict and murder is short and simple: 1. The right to vote under the same conditions as other persons vote. 2. A federal law against lynching and mob violence. 3. Justice for the convicted peons in Arkansas. 4. Equitable treatment for Negro soldiers and sailors. 5. Abolition of the "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic. 6. Free public schools for Negro children. 7. The appointment of an interracial commission of high-class, fair-minded men and women representing both races, to make a scientific survey of race relations. 8. The withdrawal of our military forces from Haiti, and carefully planned aid for Haiti and Liberia. 9. The weight of our influence to secure justice for the natives of Africa, particularly in the former German colonies. 10. A world-wide attempt to promote peace through inter-racial understanding and equality, and through a wider recognition of the basic identity of race and labor problems. RESOLUTION PASSED AT N. A. A C. P. DEROIT CONFERENCE. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, to-day made public the complete text of the resolutions submitted to the twelfth annual conference in Detroit by the resolutions committee and passed in open meeting. The committee was composed of Harry E. Davis, colored member of the Ohio State Legislature; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, George W. Gross, J. D. Moses, Shelby J. Davidson, James Weldon Johnson, George L. Vaughn and E. B. Henderson. The resolutions are as follows: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in annual conference assembled, calls the attention of the Nation to Tulsa, Oklahoma. The cause of the riot was an alleged crime which never occurred. The Negroes were not the aggressors, save in the sense that they fought to uphold law, prevent lynching, and protect their homes. We do not know what secret organizations may exist in Tulsa among whites or blacks, but we do know that our branches in Oklahoma stand with us for law and order and open legal effort to uplift the Negro and put down the mob. We are glad to commend the splendid action of the Governor and the quick measures of local relief; we now urge legal action against the corrupt city government for civil damages in not protecting the law-abiding citizens against riot; and we urge that the state demand criminal prosecution of the rioters. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People pledges its every effort to secure clemency for the convicted soldiers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry now in Leavenworth Prison, and calls the attention of the executive arm of the government to DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 16 1921 the extenuating circumstances which provoked their offense. As an association subscribing fully to the principles of law enforcement, we heartily and sincerely commend the activity of the Department of Justice in the investigation and prosecution of peonage cases, and we urge upon Attorney General Daugherty the necessity for continued energetic action, to the end that slavery and involuntary servitude, except as punishment for crime, shall disappear forever from the Land of the Free. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 337 branches, 130,000 members, in forty-four states, and speaking in behalf of eleven millions of people, strongly endorses House Resolution No. 116, introduced by Congressman Tinkham, asking for an investigation of disfranchisement. A free and honest ballot is the basis of democracy. And this country owes it to its traditions to stop the "rotten borough" system of the south. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, representing 397 branches, 130,000 members, in forty-four states, and speaking in behalf of eleven millions of people, urges the judiciary committee of the United States House of Representatives, now in charge of the Dyer antilynching bill, to expedite this bill and report it favorably to the House. The colored people of the United States demand action and not reasons for delay. If this Nation has not the power to stop lynching, it has not the power to exist. The National Association believes that colored men should make every effort to see that colored women register and vote at each election, and, conversely, we urge colored women to induce colored men to respect and use their rights of franchise. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People calls upon President Harding to invite the nations of the world to join the United States in a conference to discuss and adopt methods for world disarmament. The twelfth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires to thank the officials and citizens of the city of Detroit for their hospitality; the trustees and pastor of the Second Baptist Church for the use of their excellent quarters; the Board of Education for the use of the Central High School auditorium, and the Detroit Branch for its thoughtful arrangements. The conference especially appreciates the aid which the colored papers of the country and the colored churches and the pastors have given in making the conference so wiedly known, thus insuring so great a measure of success.

President S. J. Ross of College of West Africa, Liberia, Dies on Shipboard en Route to America Mrs. Ross Arrives THE recent arrival in this country of Mrs. Samuel John Ross, widow of the late President S. J. Ross of the College of West Africa, Monrovia, Liberia, brings to mind the untimely demise announced by cable of the end of one of the most useful and versatile members of his race. President Ross during his lifetime was identified with the Negro population of three widely separated parts of the world, and in each was an outstanding and constructive personality. He was born in British Guiana, South America, September 19, 1878. He came to the United States in 1902 and entered Lincoln University. During his college career he evinced those qualities for leadership which have made his name well known among his people of two continents. He received the degrees of Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Divinity in 1907, at which time he was president and valedictorian of his class. During his career at Lincoln he won three gold medals for oratory. In 1908 he entered the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Chicago. He married Miss Pearl F. Thomasson of Chicago in March, 1913, and in May of that year sailed for Porto Rico to finish his medical preparation with the practical work of an interne at Yauco under the direction of one of his former professors who had charge of several dispensaries there. In 1915, after two years' work, the ill health of Mrs. Ross caused their return to the United States, where Dr. Ross practiced medicine until 1918, when he was appointed medical missionary to Liberia by the Board of Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. In recognition of his ability he was soon appointed president of the College of West Africa, Monrovia, which position he was holding at the time of his death. The college grew rapidly under Dr. Ross' able administration from an enrollment of 250 to 356. In collaboration with Mrs. Ross, the president organized the Young Women's Christian Association and the Young Men's Christian Association, as well as an athletic association patterned after those of American colleges. These organizations were the first of their kind in Liberia, and attracted widespread and favorable comment. The Y. W. C. A. of Liberia has recently been received into complete affiliation with the world organization of that name. Owing to the ill health of Mrs. Ross, a furlough was granted the couple by the Board of Foreign Missions, under which they worked, and it was aboard the steamship San Carlos that Dr. Ross was stricken, and passed away a week later. He was buried at Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, Canary Islands. Mrs. Ross has recently arrived in the United States. According to officials of the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions, Dr. and Mrs. Ross occupied high rank among missionaries. They took a prominent and constructive part in the Methodist mission program for Liberia, which maintains thirty-one mission schools, with sixty-five teachers and an enrollment of several thousand pupils, many of them natives of the interior bush country, where education is the primary need in spreading American civilization and Christianity. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources Col. William Hayward, United States District Attorney for the southern district of the state of New York, announced on July 5 the appointment of J. C. Thomas, Jr., of 89 West 134th street, as an Assistant United States District Attorney. This is the third appointment announced by Colonel Hayward. PRESIDENT KING LAYS WREATH ON ROOSEVELT'S GRAVE.

During his incumbency of the Presidency Mr. Roosevelt was deeply interested in the Republic of Liberia, and in 1908 received a commission from that country looking to placing Liberia on the high plane of national efficiency. Mr. Roosevelt also arranged for an American commission to visit Liberia in 1909, but retired before the details were completed, the commission being sent by Mr. Taft within six weeks after his inauguration in 1909. President King was accompanied by the members of the Liberian Plenary Commission: R. E. R. Johnston, former Liberian Secretary of the Treasury, and Gabriel L. Dennis secretary of the commission. THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS, 1921. Dear Sir—I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find, according to the records compiled by the Department of Records and Research of the Tuskegee Institute, Monroe N. Work in charge, that in the first six months of 1921 there were 36 lynchings. This is 24 more than the number, 12, for the first six months of 1920, and 7 more than the number, 29, for the first six months of 1919. Of those lynched, 2 were whites and 34 were Negroes. Two of the latter were women. Eleven of those put to death were charged with the crime of rape. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number in each state are as follows: Alabama, 1; Arkansas, 4; Florida, 4; Georgia, 9; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 2; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 2; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1. "LILY WHITES" OBJECT TO COLLORED APPOINTMENT. TAMPA, Fla., July 9.—A bitter patronage row is on between the Florida "illy whites" or irregulars and the "black and tans" or regular Republican organization. The "illy whites" are fighting the appointment of Matthew B. Macfarlane of this city to be collector of customs for the Florida ports, and have so far succeeded in blocking his confirmation by the Senate. Macfarlane was nominated by President Harding ten days ago to succeed John F. C. Griggs of Tampa. It is expected the objection will be unavailing, and that Macfarlane's nomination will shortly be confirmed. NO 40 Are the Negroes of the North Outstripping Those of the South? Why? PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 1, 1921. "I doubt seriously whether the Negroes of the south can any longer claim the leadership in business enterprises," said A. D. Hamilton, leading contractor and financier of Atlanta, Ga., at the conclusion of his tour of inspection here, which carried him into every section of this district and practically every Negro business house. Continuing, he said: "I can remember when Negro business concerns north of the Mason and Dixon line were curiosities, but now they are so numerous and varied as to be commonplace. I am immensely pleased with what our race is doing in a business way in all sections of the north that I have visited recently, and I shall return to Dixie with a vivid impression of the rapid and inspiring strides our people are making in banking and manufacturing in the north." Mr. Hamilton was just from Columbus, Ohio, where, with a few prominent men from the south and north, he had helped to launch the Supreme Life and Casualty Company, which has a paid-up capital of $200,000. Mr. Hamilton in the third vice president of this corporation, and he is also treasurer of the Standard Life Insurance Company of Atlanta, Ga. He is especially interested in Pittsburgh, where his son, T. B. Hamilton, who has just graduated in banking and finance at the University of Pittsburgh, is now one of the tellers in the Modern Savings and Trust Company of Pittsburgh. Mr. Hamilton made a careful study of the plans and policies of the Modern Savings and Trust Company, and complimented President J. H. Phillips and the office force on the strictly businesslike manner in which the work is handled. During Mr. Hamilton's short stay in Pittsburgh he was in the hands of Dr. Walter S. Buchanan, business manager of The Competitor. Mr. Hamilton and his son were guests at dinner with Assistant City Solicitor and Mrs. R. L. Vann in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Walter S. Buchanan in Monticello street, Thursday evening, and on Saturday eveing several of the leading business men of Pittsburgh sat down to dinner with him in the home of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Writt in Susquehanna street. The party consisted of Mr. Jacob L. Phillips, Mr. T. W. Primas, Mr. W. T. Poole, Mr. William E. Woods, Dr. A. N. Levy, Mr. E. J. Bullock, Dr. Walter S. Buchanan, Mr. Frank Archeal and Mr. John T. Writt. The men spent several hours discussing business problems and possibilities in this district, and all agreed that now, as never before, the Negro should invest in his own corporations and bank in his own institutions, and so help the race to reach the rich reward which the business world makes possible.

Acting on the advice of the attorney general, President Harding has ordered the War department to declare the contracts null and void. The following statement was issued: "These contracts were entered into by the former director of sales, with the approval of Secretary Baker, and provided that the large accumulation of stock of surplus military harness and accessories were to be turned over to the United States Harness company, to be reconditioned and sold or sold in its original condition upon a profit-sharing basis. "The grounds for the recommendation of the attorney general upon which the President acted were that these contracts had been entered into in violation of sections of the criminal" NO CENSORSHIP, but—Secretary of the Navy Denby issued a general order relating to public utterances and writings of navy employees. There will be limitations concerning utterances on questions such as foreign relations, war plans and confidential matters. After setting forth the exception the Denby order says: "Nevertheless, unrestricted utterance or publication of fact and opinion may divulge information which it is not advisable to make public, and may constitute an offense against military discipline as 'conduct prejudicial to good order and discipline.'" "For information and guidance of the naval service this order enumerates some of the limitations which come under the naval regulations. "(a) Articles bearing on the foreign policy of the government. (b) Articles offensive to foreign governments. (c) Open discussion of war plans, proposed or approved strategic and tactical plans, or of new developments in naval material not yet made public. "Navy regulations of 1920 prescribe the method of caring for 'secret and WOMAN'S NATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR BUILDING TO COST $3,500,000 THE Woman's National foundation, recently organized here as a means to focus the interest of the women of the country in co-operation with women's organizations has bought a $1,000,000 tract of land in the heart of the Connecticut avenue residential district and plans to erect buildings costing about $3,500,000, Mrs. C. C. Calhoun, president of the foundation, has described its objects in an address to its 30 founders, and says, among other things: "One of the objects of the foundation is simply to invite clubs and club members who desire to feel that they have a club of their own at the nation's capital. We are not going to attempt to subordinate any club, but SECRETARY WEEKS has ordered the heads of all branches of the army to eliminate officers who do not measure up to standards of military efficiency. Officers who cannot give satisfaction in one branch will be tried out in some other, and those who fail to measure up in any of the positions will be subject to retirement on small pay or discharged under the provisions of a recent law. In an explanatory statement the War department says: "The basic principle in making assignments is to have the right officer in the right place. The best interests of the service should always be paramount in deciding this question, and it usually requires a study of the officer's whole record to determine it. An officer receives his base training in the branch in which he is commissioned, and must be fit for duty in his branch in peace and war. Should he not show fitness for any branch, then his case will be brought to the attention of the annual classification board. "There is now a law providing for the elimination of inefficient officers, and the blamo must rest entirely upon M code prohibiting officers and employees of the government from having any interest in government property or contracts. "The facts developed by the attorney general led to the conclusion that these contracts had been entered into as a result of a conspiracy on the part of certain former temporary officers of the army to obtain possession of these military supplies." The individuals involved in the action of the President, Secretary of War Weeks and Attorney General Daugherty, are former Col. George B. Goetz of Ranson, W. Va.; former Maj. Joseph C. Byron of Hagerstown, Md.; former Capt. Azel F. Cochrane, and former Capt. Henry C. Benke, all of whom held emergency commissions during the war. In July, 1920, the four men in question, it is charged, prevented the sales to the public. In September, 1920, the United States Harness company was formed, and on September 24 the contract between the company and the War department, which turned over all the surplus harness and saddles to the company, was signed. Prior to this an option upon this surplus had been given to the company, and following its execution Goetz resigned his commission and signed the contract with the War department as president of the United States Harness company. His associates were officers of the company. confidential' material. They forbid praise or censure of other persons in the naval service; state that the motives of others must not be impugned; prescribe the methods of redress for wrongs, and covers appeals. Regulations also exist for guidance in correspondence. "Any communication intended for the public should be composed only after mature reflection. In a spirit of good taste and good temper, and in a seemly and proper manner. "A signed copy of any article by any person in the navy on professional subjects must be in the hands of the Navy department at the time of publication of communication. The author will be responsible for any statements made." the foundation will supplement their work and add to it. In this central club we shall have everything that will be a convenience, including a swimming pool and gymnasium, rest rooms and a good restaurant; in fact, a club that will provide the greatest comforts at the most reasonable prices to members. "Then we plan a theater or open house. Our auditorium will not in any way interfere with the plans for the George Washington memorial, which is to be the much-needed convention hall with space for patriotic societies' headquarters. We shall have, also, an open-air auditorium or sylvan theater." It is the purpose to establish centers or branches of the foundation in every part of the country, so the most remote village or farmhouse may have a proprietary interest in the club or clubs in Washington. There will be a board of 40 governors with the president, six vice presidents and an executive committee to direct the work of the organization. The vice presidents include Mrs. Stephen B. Elkins, Mrs. James Carroll Frazer and Mrs. John Hays Hammond. the army if we retain this class of officers on active duty." The new orders issued by Secretary Weeks may serve to bring to a head a situation that has existed ever since the War department began to carry out the provisions of the recent law having for its object this elimination of "unfit" officers. Under the new army law many officers have been placed on the retired list or dropped. Cases of some are pending in the civil courts and others have appealed to the President to examine the evidence upon which they have been eliminated. There is little likelihood that any of the officers who have appealed will obtain reinstatement. TOOLS NAMED FOR ANIMALS Not Always Easy to Trace the Connection, Though Sometimes It Is Plainly Apparent. There are quite a number of tools which are named after animals, and it is interesting to find out the connection between the instrument and the animal after which it is named. In some cases the connection of ideas is evident and it is obvious why the tool is so named, observes a writer in London Answers. The "monkey wrench," for instance, which is a spanner with a movable jaw, capable of adjustment, can, by a little stretch of imagination, be thought to possess some likeness to a monkey's profile and, true, it deals with "nuts." The "donkey engine," which is capable of lifting great weights, may be considered similar in disposition to the animal noted for its stubbornness and strength. We can see how the mechanical "crane" got its name. In the distance it looks somewhat like that long-necked and long-legged bird. It is also natural that in a country like the United States, where large herds of cattle are found roaming wild, the wedge-shaped iron frame in front of a locomotive should be called "cow-catcher." The carpenter's "horse" is naturally so called because it has to carry so much on its back. The derivation of the tailor's "goose" is not very evident, but no doubt some long-forgotten, imaginative and poetically minded tailor, in a burst of inspiration, called his smoothing iron a "goose" and the name has been used ever since by his more practical successors. The trivet used to support a vessel over the fire, with its long, thin legs, is naturally called a "spider," and it is obvious why a spiral instrument or iron screw is called a "worm." Also we can all see why the large iron poker which, being made red hot, is used for lighting fires, is called a "salamander." It is not easy, however, to see the connection between a crab—a flat, clumsy animal—and the pillar used as a winch; and why a capstan is called a "crab" is difficult to imagine. Again, the bar of iron sharpened at one end and used as a lever for raising weights is named a "crowbar," for no evident reason, and I would gladly take my hat off to the man or woman who can explain to me the derivation of the name "bucksaw," "catboat" and "bullwheel." Flying Gas Cloud. A cloud of glowing gas has been discovered flying through space at a speed of 1,125 miles per second. Readers may be relieved to know that it is traveling away from us, but even if it were coming our way there would be nothing to fear, as many thousands, perhaps millions, of years must elapse before it could reach us. How it manages to remain intact while traveling at such a dizzy speed is a mystery. Equally mysterious is the manner in which it was able to get up such a speed. The most probable explanations are that it has been shot from some gigantic sun belonging to a universe of stars far beyond those we can see, or that it is a gradual accumulation of gas or gases which ultimately will be formed into stars such as we see around us at night. Copper and Calcium in the Air. Copper and Calcium in the Air. It is reported that Prof. Hartley of Dublin has photographed, in ordinary air, spectroscopic lines due, among other things, to copper and calcium. It is believed that they arise from fine dust consisting of these substances, projected into the atmosphere by road vehicles, and by smoke and the sparks of trolley wires. It is from the latter that copper is supposed to come. The quantity of copper thus found is excessively slight. Indeed it is only the delicacy of the tests that renders it appreciable. Lines due to lead, carbon, iron, manganese, nickel and magnesium have also been detected, but the quantity of these substances is even less than that of the calcium and copper, the lines of which are always prominent in the spectra. Wireless Storm Warnings. American mariners are to receive storm warnings by wireless from all parts of the world under arrangements perfected by the shipping board with most of the high-power radio stations in different countries. Managing agents and masters of shipping board vessels were notified that the warnings would be sent broadcast on schedules furnished by the ship's radio operators. Because of the number of vessels still on the seas without radio equipment, the warnings are to be passed on from ships receiving them by other means when such vessels are sighted.—Scientific American. He Was Engaged. On the Friday evening when the great strike had been planned to take place an old lady got into an omnibus.

I've got to get home to my old woman."—London Tit-Pits.

SETBACK DISARMAMENT NIPPONESE FEAR DISSENSION WILL FOLLOW IF PACIFIC PROBLEM IS TAKEN UP. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington, July 15.—Japan is ready to enter the disarmament conference, but withholds assent to an unrestricted discussion of Far Eastern questions as a part of it. The viewpoint of the American government is that a solution of the Far Eastern question is a necessary accompaniment to any disarmament program. Thus develops the first hitch—if a hitch it turns out to be—in President Harding's plan to remove the causes for heavy armaments and then reduce the armaments themselves. American officials, however, are optimistic that a way will be found for a satisfactory conference to which Japan will be a party and for a program of armament reduction acceptable to all. The Japanese reply to the preliminary question of whether she would receive an invitation to such a conference came to the State Department through the American embassy at Tokyo. Its text was not made public and department officials declined to reveal its contents except to say that it expressed approval of the disarmament discussion but did not agree to a consideration of Pacific problems. During the day, however, it became known that the attitude of the Japanese government was known to the government here. This attitude is that the disarmament question is a vast one in itself, and that if other questions are introduced into the field of discussion the conference may be so broadened as to endanger its success. Japanese officials are said to feel this to be particularly true if the questions so introduced are to affect the delicate balance of diplomatic relations in the Orient. There is manifest in Tokio a belief that such a debate might open up a Pandora's box of troublesome diplomatic intricacies, which would set for Mr. Harding's conference a task of readjustment even greater than that attempted by the peace conference at Versailles. The alternative, in the belief of Japanese statesmen, would be to agree beforehand on exactly what questions will form the subject matter of the discussions. To this is opposed the opinion of American officials that if the nations first agreed to come into the conference, whatever limitations appeared advisable could be fixed by general assent afterward.

NEWSPAPER'S DENOUNCEMENT OF BOMBING NEGRO'S HOME AMOUNTS TO CONDONEMENT OF CRIME. WE ARE always grateful to the press or any other agency that comes out fearlessly and denounces crime, whether committed by Negroes, whites, or any other persons, as the exposure may have a deterrent effect upon those persons who defy law and society, and who are satisfied to disturb the peace and harmony of good government; but when an attempt is made to appease the mob-spirit or to modify such denouncement by apologetic remarks or offering some partial excuse for a wrong against the state, a class of citizens, or an individual by indirectly questioning the wisdom of the law that grants certain rights and privileges to a people, then we have the courage to come out boldly and assert that the press has not acted fairly, has not given a square deal and has condoned a wrong—such action, in our opinion, being an incentive to the lawless and the criminal. In the Denver Times of last Monday, there appeared in the editorial column the following: "Why condemn Russia?" in which the editor, while denouncing the crime and expressing the desire that the guilty party or parties be brought to justice, reflects upon the wisdom of the law permitting citizens to enjoy their rights, and questions the judgment of such persons in ensharing such enjoyment, because of their race or color. The editorial runs thus: "The use of the bomb to discourage colored residents from acquiring property in sections occupied by white people is an invitation to a repetition in Denver of those racial conflicts which have occurred in other cities. Violence leads to riot and disorder, fans the fires of racial bitterness and brings disgrace upon the community. The police should make the utmost effort to apprehend the guilty persons who discharged a bomb the other day upon the property of a Denver Negro. The interest of society and of law and order are at stake. THE JUDGMENT OF THE NEGRO MAY BE SERIOUSLY QUESTIONED IN TAKING UP RESIDENCE IN A DISTRICT WHERE HE MAY NOT BE WANTED, but the principle involved is not at all affected by the color of the citizens against whose property bombs are used." The article concludes with a comparison to Russian Bolshevism and the injury such actions bring to the state, a public disgrace and other things. In our opinion, the portion of the editorial which we place in capital letters, clearly shows that there still lurks in the minds of even newspaper editors the doctrine of the "Inferiority of the Negro citizen" to the white man in this country, in this state and city, and therefore he cannot write freely, denouncing crime in its entirety when Negro citizens are the victims, as he may unconsciously prove the equality of all citizens under the law, and offend his superior (?) white brother, or expose himself to the scorn and ridicule of his race in America. Nor is this all, as he indulges in what at the start seems his utter abhorrence for such crimes and the perpetrators and then as he goes on he veils himself behind his prescribed law of segregation and discrimination when he questions the judgment of Negroes living in what he would term "a white district." These are the things that help to encourage the criminal; these are the suggestions and editorial writings that cause the germ of race hate to sink deeper and deeper into the very hearts of men, and when we think of all the efforts, the deeds, the gifts (for nothing can be greater than a man laying down his life for flag and country) that the Negro has contributed to maintain the cause of this nation, we sometimes shudder at the thought that some day sooner or later, this great America, this glorious nation, this head of the civilized world, as she vaunts herself, must get her just reward in the retribution that she will undergo. The support given the criminal, whether from the individual, the press or any other source, will always affect those who lend such aid in the end, and the doctrine of one law for the poor, another for the rich, one for the blacks, another for the whites, cannot fail to find an outlet in destruction of empire, republic and nation.

To the Negro Women of Colorado: Through the kindness of the editor I am using this method of calling your attention to the status of affairs confronting the women of our race, the immediate need of permanent organization and co-operation with the Negro Women's National Republican League. This organization has been carefully planned and constructed by some of the ablest and self-sacrificing women of our race. We must prayerfully and patiently work for the solution of all economic, social and political conditions facing us. The time is now, when the women of our race must organize, educate and make perfect race solidarity. We must study conditions and work for the solution of our own problems. After fifty years of struggle and conflict the eighteenth amendment has been ratified. It gives to fifty million women the right, constitutionally, to vote. The question is asked, "Now that women have the right to suffrage, how many of them will use it?" Although this amendment has been ratified, three million Negro women below the Mason and Dixon line have practically been disfranchised; they have not the full right to citizenship. By an organized effort and the use of the ballot we can speak to Congress, to the whole world for the rights and protection of the race granted by the constitution of the United States. All over the world the women are organizing to protect, promote and work for the legislation of movements essential to humanity and civilization. The Negro women have a task they are called upon to do the same as the women of all nationalities are doing. Will the presidents of each political group and the patriotic, loyal race-loving women meet Tuesday, July 19, 8 p. m., at 1919 Clarkson street, to discuss and outline future activities of our state politically?

These young ladies have been organized now for about three years, and have decided to perpetuate their name and organization by duly and legally incorporating the same. Their purpose is for purely social and literary uplift, and charitable work wherever needed. MADAME ZACKERY'S RECITAL QUITE A SUCCESS. Madame Jessie Andrews Zackery's recital in songs last week Thursday at Shorter Church was nothing short of a rich musical treat, and music lovers and others felt amply rewarded for their presence among the large and appreciative audience whose privilege it was to hear her. Madame Zackery is one of our own young ladies, and Denver feels proud that she is measuring up to the artistic standard of other larger and older cities by producing such talent. The ease, grace, tonal effect, choice of selections, etc., were of that order that showed careful training, and the performer deserved the numerous applause she received from the critical audience that greeted her. She was accompanied by Professor Wall of the Western Music Institute, whose pupil she has been for some time. We offer our congratulations to our young artist, and hope she will continue to represent us in the noble art. Madame Zackery was presented by the Loyal Legion of Shorter Church.

Over Bombing of William Chapman's Residence, at Shor ter Church, July 10. LAST Sunday afternoon upwards of six hundred citizens responded to notices given out at all the services in the morning for a meeting to be held at Shorter Church to discuss the proper methods to be adopted to assist the authorities in bringing to justice the guilty parties who bombed the residence of Walter Chapman, postoffice clerk and secretary of the Colored Civic Association. Attorney Thomas Campbell presided, giving an account of the crime and the circumstances leading up to it. District Attorney Van Clise and Manager of Safety Downer were present and were introduced to the audience. Mayor Bailey was indisposed, and the Governor was absent from the city. Remarks from the city officials gave the assurance that the police department was doing all in its power to capture the bombhrower and those connected with the unfortunate incident. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, Attorneys Carey, Blakemore and Rev. Dr. Thomas denounced the crime and impressed the people with the necessity of going about the matter in a calm and intelligent manner, not provoking any action, but with a determination to bring the criminals to justice. A vote of thanks was given the officials for their courageous action in meeting with the citizens to discuss the matter, and to advise and suggest the best means to be adopted, and the singing of a hymn brought the proceedings to a close.

I had just started typewriting and was deeply engrossed in the letter that I was transcribing when my boss called me into his office where he and six other men were holding a conference. I quickly jumped from my chair and walked into his office, forgetting my shoes. I noticed that the men were trying hard not to laugh and I finally woke up to the fact that I did not have my shoes on.—Chicago American.

DOGS, CATS AND PARROTS All Are Tenderly Cared For in the Little Bowered Cottage and Put Out of Their Misery if Too Sick to Recover. Kansas City, Mo.—Would you be willing to give more than half of your modest income to make life less rigorous for suffering or neglected animals? Such is the sacrifice being made by Miss Sarah and H. H. Jacobs of Kansas City, Kan., across the river from here. And it is no more passing hobby, they have been doing this for the last quarter century. The Jacobs are nationally known for their unselfish work. Living in a little cottage, surrounded by rose bushes, bird houses, flower beds and fruit trees, these two have consecrated their lives to amellorating the hardships visited upon man's often neglected and abused companions. H. H. Jacobs provides the income by working as a bookkeeper on the Missouri side, while Miss Sarah looks after the home and its numerous pets. And there are many dogs in the Jacobs home—ten dogs, two score cats, and two parrots. The care of these pets, however, represents only a minor part of the activities of the two workers. Both are officers in the Wyandotte County Humane society and labor incessantly to benefit animal life through that source. With all this the Jacobs are not unmindful of the needs of unfortunate children, and even adults of their city, as they are active in the Associated Charities. Miss Sarah, who was found at home busy with her charges, said that her first instruction in humane work was when she was a little girl and her father taught her that it was just as easy to step around an anthill as to crush it with her beel. Chloroform to Diseased. While thoroughly orthodox in their theology, the Jacobs believe firmly that most of the sin and suffering in the world has followed man's habit of killing and abusing animals. There is nothing mawkish about their views, however. Miss Sarah, as president of the Humane society, has personally chloroformed hundreds of diseased, deformed and homeless animals. "It sometimes is expedient," she said, "to remove them to avert further suffering. When it is necessary to put an animal to sleep, I always utter a word of prayer, taking full responsibility for the act." Most of the pets in the Jacobs home have been brought there by persons Says Farmers Go Crazy for Lack of Recreation Washington. — One of the reasons why you "can't keep 'em down on the farm" was explained here at the seventy-seventh annual convention of the American Institute of Homeopathy. More farmers go crazy every year in the United States than any other class of citizenship, Dr. J. M. Lee of Rochester, N. Y., told the convention. Work, worry and lack of recreation are the causes. Professional men—clergymen, physicians and lawyers—are less likely to go crazy, Dr. Lee said. However, Dr. Lee warned, don't be too sure of yourself, for insanity is slowly but steadily increasing. Stupid Yankees Lose in Baltic who have found them suffering in the streets or were too poor to look after them. Many carry a story of human interest, with sometimes a tragedy. There is Cinderella, who has been brutally wounded. The Jacobs decided to chloroform the animal to relieve its intense suffering. Finally it struggled over to the open fireplace and curled up in the warm ashes. Soon it showed signs of rallying and they concluded it should live. It did recover. The incident reminded them of the fairy story of the little girl sitting in the ashes and who later was able to wear the glass slipper, and the spotted hound became Cinderella. Miss Jacobs told of a cat that saved their lives. A lenky gas jet had filled the house with fumes while they slept. The cat mewed in vain and finally leaped upon the bed and scratched Miss Jacobs to a waking position and a realization of their danger. Cat's Interesting Career. Yarrow, a cat with an interesting career, was named after Mary Cralge Yarrow, a noted humane worker of Philadelphia. This cat once was a companion to a little boy. The boy died and on the night of his funeral the animal was carried away and locked in a freight car bound for Arkansas. A fortnight later the cat returned home nearly starved. The boy's mother took it to the Jacobs home. Some of the animals of other days, especial favorites who had earned some mark of distinction, are buried in the flower garden. There are no markers, save a stone border around the grave of Hermano (Mexican for brother), long in the family. Hermano had saved Miss Jacobs' life in Texas Unbelievable Ignorance Is Costing Them the Trade of the New States Over There. FAIL TO GET BIG ORDERS British, German and Dutch Firms Are Getting Millions of Dollars Because They are Better Informed Than the American Business Men. Riga, Latvia.—Millions of dollars in ready cash are going to English, German and Dutch firms from the Baltic states because of the almost unbelievable unfamiliarity of even the largest American firms with foreign trading conditions, and even geography, say Americans here. Dozens of big orders for which cash was actually in the banks in New York have been lost to America because of what American representatives in Baltic states term absolute stupidity. "It is said," said one of these Americans in Riga, who has had to place many orders in Germany and in England, when America could have had them, "that the heads of American firms realize what the subordinates in charge of their foreign trading departments are doing to them. "Most of them, brought up on so-called American efficiency systems that may work well at home but are absolutely hopeless abroad, try to do business in Europe according to 'form 22' or 'form 24' or whatever form they would apply to similar deals in America. "To illustrate, not long ago I had an urgent cash order for 40,000 suits of underclothing for a Baltic state. I telegraphed to a big American firm. 'What your price 40,000 suits heavy underwear cash against documents New York?' "Two or three days later, when some Dog Howled by His Dead Master's Side 2 Months New York.—Almost nightly for two months a dog has been howling and whining for his master, who lay dead in a small furnished room and no one went near to find out what was the trouble. The man who had died there and been forgotten was John J. Moore, pardoned criminal. When repair men, in going to fix a leaky pipe, found it necessary to get into the room and break down the door they came upon Moore lying on the bed wrapped in blankets. The dog had gone. The animal howled long the night before and it may have been that he had decided at last no one would come to his master's aid and there was nothing more to be done. when a big rattler was about to strike her. The dog pounced upon the snake and received the poisonous bite. He became blind, but lived many years. Asked about the cost of pursuing their humane work, Miss Jacobs said it amounted to $600 or $700 a year. She insisted, however, that this did not constitute a sacrifice, that they derived pleasure from it and preferred to spend their money in this way, even if it forced them to give up many comforts. Girl Must Return His Ring. Asbury Park, N. J.—When a couple in New Jersey agree to break an engagement the man is entitled to the ring he gave. That delicate point was settled by Judge Lawrence of the Court of Common Pleas, in the case of a Trenton man who resorted to the law to get back the circlet he had given a girl, who then married another man. bright young credit man had tried to digest this telegram, I received a cable saying: 'Wire your credit rating and references.' "Now, I suppose his 'form 22' required him to do that, but I wired back, 'My credit references are cash in New York bank. What are your prices?" "Some days later I received a telegram saying: 'Price dollar twenty,' or something like that. "More valuable time was lost in an exchange of cablegrams asking what they meant, per garment or per suit. The result was that I wired an English firm. My answer from it was complete, just what I wanted. The telegram gave the price per suit, weight of shipment, probable date of delivery and everything that I wanted to know. The English firm got the order and took the cash in the New York bank. "When I write American firms, for catalogs, I get catalogs without prices. I suppose they think it is undignified to print them. Then I write for price lists and get price lists without catalogs. Print Complete Catalogs. "German or British firms print complete catalogs, giving just what one wants to know. They save valuable weeks of mail correspondence and get the orders." Another American in trade in Riga showed the correspondent a cablegram from one of the biggest oil companies in America, in reply to his telegram which said: "Quote me price refined coal oil delivered Riga." The answer read: "Crude oil! has gone up 20 cents a barrel." "Now," said this American dealer, "I didn't want to know about crude oil and I haven't time to figure out what effect a rise in its price would have on coal oil that was badly wanted by my buyer." "In many of such ridiculous cases I have telegraphed directly to the heads of firms in America explaining the situation. But I haven't the time to write all of them. So the Germans and English get the orders." Incidentally, perhaps half of the letters sent by American firms to the Baltic states bear only 2-cent postage stamps, causing indignant prospective buyers to dig down in their pockets to pay postage due in rubles or marks or whatever the unit happens to be. Some of them bear fantastic addresses, such as "Riga, Russia, via the Pacific." One letter in reply to request to ship for cash a big consignment of goods from New York to Riga said the firm was sorry, "but had no shipping facilities on the Pacific." Bone From Leg Grafted Into Backbone of Boy Anaconda, Mont. — With a piece of bone six inches long taken from his left leg and grafted into a bone of his back, Eugene McHugh, aged 5 years, returned from St. James' hospital, Butte, to his home in Anaconda. The boy suffered injuries which developed complications and demanded the operation, which was performed by Dr. E. F. Maginn with apparent success. MAY SOON FORM FOREIGN POLICY ADMINISTRATION IS WORKING ON ITS PLAN FOR AN ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS. PEOPLE ASKING FOR ACTION Not Even an Outline Has Yet Been Put in Writing, But Secretary Hughes Has Been Busy in the Matter. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Is the administration soon to formulate definitely an association of nations policy? There are indications of a rather specific nature that such is to be the case. There are evidences in Washington that there is not so strong a desire today as in the immediate past to give so definitive a name as the "Association of Nations" to the plan which the President and his secretary of state have in view. Whatever the policy in connection with foreign affairs is to be, it is understood that Secretary Hughes today is working on the matter with certain ends in view. From time to time letters have come to Washington from various parts of the country, most of them going to the White House, asking if something is to be done soon with a matter which has occupied the people in one way or another ever since the armistice was signed. It is held here that the evident interest of the country, as shown in letter form, is not responsible at all for the evident quickening impulse on the part of the officials to do something. It is declared that their determination to act was fixed' some time ago and that action simply was waiting on what seemed to be the proper time. The United States senate holds members who are kindly disposed toward an association of nations of the kind which President Harding more than hinted at in his speech of acceptance of the nomination. There are a few Republican senators who do not want an association of nations any more than they want the League of Nations. Then there is another group of senators. Republicans for the main part, who want something done in the way of a foreign policy which will bring the United States into accord with its recent allies, but they are not quite sure just what form the plan should take on. Hughes Making Some Progress. It is admitted directly in high quarters that nothing has yet been put on paper to outline, or even to suggest an outline, of an association of nations plan. This does not mean, however, that mentally a plan has not been formulated. Mr. Hughes has been more or less busy in the matter and it is known that some of the greater foreign nations have been questioned with a view of finding out whether or not they would be willing to become parties to an association of nations along certain lines, even if its forming virtually should mean a repudiation of the present League of Nations. Now that it is known that other nations have been felt out on this subject, interest has been expressed in Washington as to why the "feeling out" should have been done without submitting with the queries something concrete concerning the plan in mind. The general impression is, however, that the communications to the foreign offices of other countries simply have been in the form of intimations that the United States would like to do something if the other nations eventually would give the proposition consideration. To some Washington officials it seems like a work of supererogation on the part of the state department to ask other nations whether they will give consideration to a proposition eguananting from the United States. No nation would decline* to promise to think over any matter which the United States should submit. Hope for German Treaty Soon. There seems to be an impression here that as soon as the Knox resolution, or its substitute, is adopted, declaring that a state of peace exists with Germany, and a treaty has been effected with the German government, the American administration will immediately proceed with its association of nations plan. The hope of the high officials seems to be that there will not be much more delay in the work of getting the resolution and the treaty out of the way. It must be confessed, however, that there is a cloud of doubt hanging over the future foreign relations situation. It is being asked whether if an association of nations shall be formed, it will be necessary absolutely for other nations to leave the present league to which they have given sanction. It is held by some members of the dominant party that any association of nations plan which can be accepted must keep whole existing provisions in the Versailles treaty which are intended to make it certain that Germany will fulfill her obligations. Of course it is possible that this can be done in a way through the treaty of peace between the United States and Germany, but it is held also that some of the necessary safeguarding things must be provided for in the plan for an association of nations if such an association is to be formed. Dawes to Direct Budget. The budget is to go into operation. Charles G. Dawes of ChirJo, brigadier general in the A. E. F. and director of purchases and rapplies for the army in France during the war, has been appointed as budget director. It is probable that not even the political opponents of General Dawes will intimate that he has sought a government job for the pay or the glory that is in it. His civil life position probably paid him many times the amount of the salary which the government will hand him each year. Mr. Dawes is going to take hold of a five billion dollar a year business and try to run it so that enough money can be saved to Uncle Sam each year to make the installment of the necessary machinery of accomplishment a instifiable bit of legislation. And so the long looked for budget system is to go into operation. By the provisions of the law every president of the United States in the future will be under legal obligation to send to congress in December the first budget of government. What will this budget include? Well, it must have in it estimates of every forthcoming appropriation and with them estimates of the probable government income from every source under the law as it exists, and it also must contain an estimate of the receipts as they are likely to be under such proposals for revenue raising as the budget may contain. In addition to this there must be a statement of the condition of the treasury and what it is believed the condition of the same department will be when another fiscal year is ended. In addition to this there must be a complete statement of the indebtedness of the government and such other financial statements as congress may need to its way clear to legislate wisely in what may be called a financial way. Of Prime Interest To All of Us. The country probably will watch the operation of appropriating money under the new budget system with keen interest. It is the people's money which is being spent, and therefore in a way the chairman of the budget will be the steward of the people. In the house of representatives there already is a consolidated committee on appropriations. The chairman of this committee, James W. Goode of Iowa, has left congress. Nobody knows who will succeed him. The job of the consolidated appropriations committee is a peculiar one, for it is a sort of guardian of bills proposing expenditures and it is its duty in a large measure to see to it that the smaller committees when they make their reports shall not be led into the way of extravagance. It is possible that the senate will be compelled to follow the example of the house and dissolve a large number of its smaller committees, or else keep them in their present form but with merely a narrower field in which to work. Virtually the enlarged appropriations committee of the house has taken over everything which pertains to finance, or at least it has constituted itself a sort of court of last resort in appropriation matters. If the same course shall be applied in the senate, the committee of which Senator Penrose now is chairman will have greatly enlarged powers, and while all appropriation measures must originate in the house of representatives, the fact that the senate has a last word in the matter will give to the chairman of the senate appropriations committee a power perhaps greater than that held by the house committee chairman. Dawes a Vigorous Man. Charles G. Dawes, who has been appointed director of the budget is the Charles G. Dawes who aroused the risibilities of the country, and to a considerable extent its admiration, by the course which he pursued as a witness before the sub-committee of the army expenditures investigating committee of the house of representatives. It will be remembered that Mr. Dawes served in France and doubtless made a side excursion or two into Flanders. It may be that he learned some of his picturesque language in the latter country, for it was the mud in Flanders which gave Uncle Toby the inspiration for his simile when he said, "swore like the army in Flanders." There may be no occasion for picturesque language in the office room of the new director of the budget, but if a man is to be moved to strong expressions by hard work, the moving force will not be absent. The budget is a new thing; it is intricate in its imposed duties and moreover it deals largely with finance, about which men have disagreed ever since the days when the Indians and the early settlers used wampum as a medium of exchange. A. New Version. A teacher of the deaf had an amusing experience the latter part of last October in teaching her class the Lord's Prayer. Just at this time the children were much interested in the coming of Halloween. After the children had learned the prayer by reading her lips, she requested them to write it. One began with: "Our Father, Who art in heaven, Halloween be Thy name." The rest of the prayer was correct except, "and devil us from evil."

If you want good work at prices that are right, get your job printing —At This Office Home Demonstration in the Kitchen. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Home demonstration work, though comparatively new, is looked upon as permanent, so beneficial have been the results obtained by home demonstration agents working in rural homes. The fundamental purpose of this work, according to a report just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, is to assist the rural housewife to apply business principles to her daily tasks for the purpose of making the farm home as efficient as the farm, thereby producing a more satisfactory and permanent type of rural life. The report referred to is Department Circular 141, which deals with the results of home demonstration work in the 33 northern and western states. Became Co-operative Movement. The work actually begun in August, 1914, when an agent was appointed in Erie county, N. Y., on state funds. In 1916, it became a co-operative movement supported by federal, state and local funds. During that year four agents were appointed. In 1919 the number had grown to more than 600. Then war emergency funds were cut off, and in the following year the number dropped to 286. Although in this one year the force of workers as well as state and federal funds were reduced nearly one-half, the appropriations made by the local people for home demonstration work nearly doubled, and agents were retained in direct response to requests from the people whom they served, according to the circular. Home demonstration agents afford an avenue by which the state agricultural colleges and the United States Department of Agriculture offer the practical results of their research and experiments in home economics to housewives of the country. These agents encourage the rural housewives to bring from their store of practical knowledge and experience the lessons they have learned in home management that will be valuable to other women in the community, and so help to make this information available to all. The home demonstration agent is a teacher who makes liberal PUTTING MORE MILK IN FOOD OF FAMILY Numerous Dishes Are Enumerated by Home Specialists. Milk Toast, Cream Soups, Creamed Vegetables, Fish and Scalloped Dishes Are Favored—Recipe for White Sauce. Milk toast, cream soups, creamed vegetables, creamed fish and scalloped dishes are all good ways of putting more milk into the daily food of the family, say home economics specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. The milk for all of these is thickened into a sauce, thick or thin. To make the sauces, melt the fat, stir in the flour, add the milk gradually, and cook until thickened, stirring constantly unless a double boiler is used. All measurements are level in these recipes. Thin White Sauce. 1 cup milk ½ teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon flour ½ teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon fat Medium White Sauce. 1 cup milk ½ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons flour ½ teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons fat Thick White Sauce. 1 cup milk ½ teaspoon salt 8 tablespoons flour ½ teaspoon pepper 8 tablespoons fat For milk toast and with vegetables use the thin sauce. For scalloped or creamed vegetable and ment dishes use the medium sauce. The chief use for the thick sauce is as a binding material in croquettes and loaves. BALANCED RATIONS FOR MAN Fruits, Vegetables, Whole Grains, Milk, Eggs, Butter and Nuts Are Most Healthful. How many human beings eat balanced rations? The best foods for health and strength are fruits, vegetables, whole grains, milk, eggs, butter and nuts, with meat in moderation. Heavy meat eating, artificial sugars, white flour, polished rice, peeled potatoes—these are said to create acidosis which is the forerunner of many serious diseases. use of practical demonstration rather than the lecture or text book. The most successful home demonstration agents, according to the circular, alm to train local leaders who, by putting the best practices into their own homes, extend the instruction to larger numbers of women. At least two-thirds of the agent's time is spent with farm women in their homes, discussing the varied problems of housekeeping and other matters in which farm women are interested. Aside from interesting women in better home management, modern conveniences, food production and preservation, better food for the family, home nursing, and the selection and making of clothing, the agents are devoting their efforts to promoting community enterprises. Three types of such enterprises are developed: The economic type which includes food preservation, the hot school lunch, co-operative laundries, co-operative buying and selling associations, labor-saving devices, and salvage shops. The social type is concerned with such things as recreation centers, civil improvements, and rest rooms. The educational type embraces farm home home, libraries, and magazine circles and the like. Local Aid Needed. A county organization in extension work which desires the appointment of a home demonstration agent should first communicate with the extension service at the state agricultural college, or with the agricultural agent in the county, the circular suggests. It is necessary for the local organization or county to give some financial support to the home demonstration agent, though the greater part is supplied by the state and federal funds. To supply that share which is required of the local organization, there have been organized within the past two years in the majority of the 33 northern and western states what is popularly known as the "family" or "new" farm bureau. This is an association of people interested in rural affairs, the membership of which comprises men, women, and young people who generally pay a uniform membership fee of $1 a year. WAY TO POLISH SILVERWARE After Soaking in Sour Milk Wash in Warm Water to Which Ammonia Has Been Added. It is not necessary to rub all morning polishing the silverware. Next time soak it for three hours or longer in a pan of sour milk. Wash in warm water to which a small amount of ammonia has been added, and polish with a clean chamois cloth. Shining silver makes the dinner-table look doubly attractive. SOLE OF SHOES WATERPROOF Place in Melted Mixture of Eight Ounces of Vaseline and One Ounce of Beeswax. You can save leather and make your shoe soles fairly waterproof by placing the soles for 15 minutes in a melted mixture of eight ounces of vaseline and one ounce of beeswax. The mixture should not be hotter than can be borne by the hand. WAY TO HEM STRAIGHT EDGES Run Corners Together With Needle and Thread Before Putting Goods in Hemmer. When you have a number of straight edges to hem—towels and like—run the corners together with needle and thread before putting the goods in the hemmer. This will make a continuous hem and avoid the trouble usually experienced in starting the hem neatly. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Always remove stains before washing, as soap fixes them. A pinch of sugar or a little vinegar will make the stove polish stay on. A salad made with chopped cabbage, grated raw carrots and chopped peanuts is delicious. * * * An asparagus stalk is edible only as far down the stem as it will snap easily between the hands.

Rhut arb or pie plant, when properly cooked, is a good laxative, while its agreeable acid is cooling and stimulating. The tender green leaves, combined with other greens, are especially good served as greens. Lettuce is considered a sure remedy for nervousness and insomnia. Even Shakespeare has one of his characters remark: "Did I eat any lettuce to supper last night that I am so sleepy?" And of water cress, "a cheap but wholesome salad from the brook." Containing so much sulphur, this dainty little green tends to purify the blood. This sulphur, in vegetable form, is all ready to be assimilated, while the form we buy is not. Dandelion greens carry a high percentage of iron, while the tender young leaves make a fine salad. Mixed with potato, it improves both kinds. Spinach, which is called the broom of the blood, stands at the head of vegetables in percentage of iron. This vegetable has a most healthful action on both bowels and kidneys. The onion, too often snubbed by those who would be ultra fine, holds a high place as a flavor vegetable, stimulating, laxating and generally purifying the whole system. Beets are a nerve tonic, make new blood; the Greeks held the beet ideal for brain workers. Cucumbers are rich in potassium and phosphorous; even in ancient times they were used for the complexion, internally as well as externally. Carrots rank still higher in these days with the beauty specialist; when eaten raw, one a day, they are a sure cure for a muddy complexion. Grapes are one of the favorite fruits and are usually taken by all with cleansing and tonic effect.

DAINTY COMPANY DISHES A dish of baked bananas to serve with broiled steak is a most appetizing dish and is prepared thus: Remove the peeling from a half dozen large bananas, scrap to remove all the coarse threads and lay in a well, buttered glass prepared thus: Remove the peeling from a half dozen large bananas, scrape to remove all the coarse threads and lay in a well-buttered glass baking dish. Grate the rind of an orange and one-half a lemon and add the juice of each with one-half cupful of sugar. Pour over the bananas, adding two tablespoonfuls of butter. Baste during the baking, about twenty minutes. Sour Cream Pie.—Beat the yolks of four eggs until light and creamy, add a cupful of sugar, the same of chopped raisins and sour cream, with one fourth teaspoonful of cloves.

Fill with the mixture, cover with a meringue, using the whites of the eggs mixed with four tablespoonfuls of sugar. Heap roughly over the top and place in the oven to brown lightly. Pear Salad.—Take halves of peeled very ripe pears, or the canned variety may be used if drained. Sprinkle with a teaspoonful of lemon juice and fill the center with a ball of cream cheese. Place on lettuce leaves and cover with a dressing made with the pear juice, if canned fruit is used, or with a little pheenapple juice, olive oil, catsup, lemon juice and paprika, with a dash of salt, and sugar if fresh fruit is used. Peacherino.—Rub a cupful of fresh ripe peeled peaches through a sieve, add a cupful or less depending upon the sweetness of the fruit and the taste of the family. Beat the whites of three eggs until stiff, then fold in the peaches and cream. Pour into a well-buttered baking dish and bake in water until firm. Serve with whipped cream.

Either may be used in the various Chinese dishes and are especially delightful mixed with chicken in chicken salad or creamed chicken. A can will serve eight to ten people, or more if used with other foods. Heart of Palm Salad—Remove the palm from the can, rinse in cold water and wipe dry. Cut in slices three-eighths of an inch thick. Arrange on head lettuce and pour over enough vinaigrette sauce to marinate well, then serve with: Sauce Vinaigrette.—Rub a bowl with the cut side of a clove of garlic, pressing firmly against the bowl to draw out the flavor. Add to the bowl one-quarter of a teaspoonful each of chopped chives, mustard and paprika, half a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, a teaspoonful of chili pepper, half a cupful of cider vinegar and a cupful and a half of olive oil. Bent well and it is ready to use. If desired, the dressing may be strained (any that is left) and stored in the ice chest to use later. It will keep a week or more in good condition with the vegetables left in it. Heart of Palm—Main Dish.—Take small cubes of leftover roast of pork or chops, put into a frying pan with a little fat; stir until well browned; add a little water from time to time and simmer for an hour over slow heat. About twenty minutes before serving time add a cupful of finely diced celery and one or two good-sized onions finely diced; cook until well softened—at about fifteen minutes, then add a cupful of sliced heart of palm or bamboo, a tablespoonful or more of figl sauce, paprika, salt and red pepper to taste. Serve hot with plain hot boiled rice. The rice may be heaped in the center of the platter with the meat poured around it. Who is the wisest man—he who says the right thing at the right time? No, indeed—but he who leaves unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment. SAVORY SUMMER DISHES. Gather some fresh mushrooms in field or pasture; peel the caps and cut the stems into small pieces; cook in a little butter until thoroughly done; add cream or add to a rich cream sauce and serve as a vegetable in timbal cases or 'on toast. 暴 Beefsteak Smothered in Mushrooms. — Have the mushrooms carefully cleaned, with caps peeled, cut in bits and put into a pan with a tablespoonful of butter for each cupful of mushrooms, and bake 40 minutes. Broil steak until nearly done, then put into the pan with the mushrooms; cover with some and cook a few moments. Serve with the mushrooms over the steak. Veal Loaf.—In water a pound of lean veal in water to cover. When done, remove the meat and simmer the stock until reduced to one-half cupful. To this add salt, celery salt, grated lemon peel, the juice of half a lemon, the chopped veal and a tablespoonful of chopped ham. Place in a mold and press under a weight. Turn out the next day and slice. Garnish with lemon and pursley. A most delicious icing for a sponge cake or an angel food is one made with fresh strawberries. Crush a cupful, strain carefully, add a teaspoonful of lemon juice to deepen the color, then stir in confectioner's sugar to thicken. Nellie Maxwell Hallowe'en of Pagan Origin. Halloween of Pagan Origin Halloween'en, or All Halloween'eve, is clearly a relic of pagan times, for there is nothing in the church observance of the ensuing day of All Saints to have originated such extraordinary notions as are connected with this celebrated festival, or such remarkable practices as by which it is distinguished. In Roman Catholic countries Halloween'en is the occasion for visiting the cemeteries and laying flowers on the graves of friends and relatives, but in parts of Scotland and elsewhere the night is devoted to merry-making and divination of the future. Electricity and Chinese Demons. Word has come from Shanghai that employees of the China Electric company recently called in a native priest to drive away the demon in an electric buzz saw which had cut off two of the operator's fingers. After the ceremony the workmen returned to their tasks contentedly. The manager of the plant felt that, despite the superstition displayed, these Chinese workmen were accepting electricity in their own way—North American.

AMONG NEWEST ARRIVALS FOR THE VACATION SEASON A silk or silk jersey cloth. The blouse is finished at the bottom with a turned-up cuff, widened at the side into a scallop. It is hemmed down with heavy silk floss in running stitches and contrasting color, which is also used for the embroidery on the bottom of the blouse and about the opening at the front. Cuffs of satin finish the elbow sleeves, and the same material makes the rolled collar and vestee. IN WHATEVER direction vacation time calls, to whatever part of the country it leads, the tourist, on diversion bent, is sure to need a sport suit. These smart clothes, for all sorts of outdooring, prove themselves the most adaptable of all apparel. They have an informal and a pastime flavor that exactly suits vacation time. One is well enough dressed in them, and not too much dressed in them, for all the sorts of places that traveler visit. Short box-coats in high colors and made of the same materials as this blouse are found in the company of striped skirts. The skirts repeat the color in the coat, alternating it with white, and are either side or box-plaited. White hats and white shoes are sure to look well with these suits. Loosely knitted, yarn sweater-coats in white are great favorites, to be worn with plaited skirts in white and colored plaits. The newest arrivals in pastime clothes are those suits, or one-piece dresses, of knitted wool or silk. The wool ones are very sturdy and well suited to real sport wear. Those of silk have the same smartness, but are not designed for exactly the same uses; they are well described as outdoor clothes. A chic suit of this character is pictured here. The plaited skirt is made of a white wool woven fabric, and the overblouse of knitted IIII Below at the left a hat of pale pink georgette has a soft round crown, wreathed with seeded grasses and small garden roses, that look like the heart of summer. Next a stately hat chooses black and white hair braid for its graceful body and white georgette poppies, with long, black ostrich flues floating out between them, for covering its soft round crown. This is a lovely hat for matrons. Another hat for them appears at the left of the group; it is a small shape of white hair braid with a wreath of garden flowers, berries, foliage and grasses laid about the narrow drooping brim. They are velled with wide lace which falls in the manner of a vell from the sides and back. The poke shape of pale pink georgette, at the right, is distinctly youthful with a sash of blue velvet ribbon that makes a fine background for poppies, corn flowers, grasses and little blossoms posed against it. THE most beautiful or all millinery sings its swan song in August and adds a regret for the passing of the season that brings it in. Made for the warmest days, the airy hats of midsummer vanish like a morning mist, as soon as the first hint of chill comes in September breezes; they only flourish in the balmiest air and brightest sunshine; their career is brief but glorious. Five of these dreams of summer, expressed in terms of millinery fabrics and trimmings, are shown in the group pictured here. The well-beloved, wide-brimmed, transparent hat at the top is a perennial favorite, one of the good things that every summer brings, developed in accordance with the season's styles. It is shown made of black malines on a shape that is widened at the sides by pointed curves in the generous brim. The brim is bordered with black piping braid, the crown is a soft puff of malines, and for trimming there is a wide bow, posed toward the right side and spread across the front. Always there are these pee-cess, picturesque black hats for midummer. This year they have rivals in hats of brown malines or lace.
