LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY MADDEN SAYS ANTI-LYNCHING BILL WILL PASS Tinkham Bill Considered—Mondell Beaten in Conference. VOL. XXVII. MADDEN SAYS AND WILL Tinkham Bill Consider in Conf WASHINGTON, D. C., July 10. With the Harding administration approaching the half-year mark, the people throughout the country are beginning to "stake the measure" of achievements and to see whether the "big show" is living up to advance publicity. In his campaign speeches, and even since his inauguration, Mr. Harding has himself sounded the terms of human rights on the highest plane. There have been some setbacks to the expectations of the populace, but the people have not completely lost faith. The President has given assurance to those who have recently discussed matters with him that he will keep the faith. Congressman Martin B. Madden of the First district of Illinois in Chicago, has informed The Associated Negro Press that the bill against lynching has been indorsed by the judiciary committee of the House and that the same will soon be reported to the floor. It is Congressman Madden's opinion that the bill will easily pass the House and Senate, and that the President will sign it. Congressman Tinkham continues to issue on the consideration of means to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments. Floor Leader Mondell has done all in his power to block the consideration, but sentiment is growing in favor of looking into the subject. Many congressmen sincerely wish there were some one way out, but with 1922 elections coming on, there must be action. The problems coming out of the race question are regarded by Congress as much hotter than those involving the Irish, Catholic and Jews, and anyone hereabouts will tell you that these subjects cause great annoyance. The appointment of Henry Lincoln Johnson as recorder of deeds has opened up a big new line of discussion. Colonel Johnson has all along insisted that he did not wish a position. However, it is understood that the administration regarded Johnson as the "one best bet" to initiate the administration policy of recognition, which for some time was floundering about on the shoals, until the folks back home let it be known that there should be something done. The next few weeks will without question bring some surprising developments. There are movements on in several cities in several parts of the country calculated to make political circles in all high places sit up and take notice. The Harding administration and the Republican National Committee are cognizant of the facts, and will meet the issue with a direct line of argument. Gen. Charles G. Dawes, director of the budget, recently ordered all inactive files of every government department placed in storage to make room for the new and useful records. The clerks required for their care will be dropped, along with several Negro messengers the General observed having a bark on government time this afternoon. There was evidence a short while ago that a crisis might be precipitated by the discontent existing in the House of Representatives over the ma- State Hist. & Nat Hist No. State House emplar Da 9, Admission COLORA NTI-LYNCHING BILL PASS red—Mondell Beaten erence. jority leadership. Thirty-six Republican members of the House participated in an "outlaw" caucus held in the chamber of the House last night to consider the Tinkham legislation to enforce the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution, giving votes to Negroes. The conference was held in opposition to the wishes of Frank W. Mondell of Wyoming, majority leader, and despite all his efforts to prevent it. The outlaw conference elected temporary officers, excoriated Mr. Mondell and pledged itself to an organized campaign to compel the Republican management of the House to go on record one way or another in the matter of the Fourteenth amendment. The tendency toward insurgency against the party leadership was followed by a virtual indorment of seventy-five Republicans in the House of what the "outlaws" did the night before. Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts circulated a petition for another party conference on the Fourteenth amendment. He would have the meeting held. Fifty signatures were necessary to force the conference. He passed that number within an hour. He expects to have no less than 100 Republican names, all of which he regards as indorsing his stand. With one hundred Republicans supporting Mr. Tinkham in a movement for a conference which Mr. Mondell has twice opposed, and the Minnesota and other delegates openly challenging the tariff policies of Representative Fordney, chairman of the Ways and Means committee, the situation was not regarded with equanimity by persons interested in the welfare of the Harding administration and the Republican party. There have been frequent rumblings of discontent with the party leadership in Congress, but until now the champions of harmony have blocked every effort to have the party's soiled linen washed in public. Open warfare between Messrs. Tinkham and Mondell began two weeks ago. The Bay state member obtained sixty-five signatures for a party caucus on the Fourteenth amendment. Mondell countered by having Representative Barbour of California issue a call for a conference on Congressional deportment. Accordingly Representative Towner of Iowa, chairman of the Republican conference, convened a caucus to consider both subjects. Mr. Towner, who previously had ruled that reapportionment was germane to enforcement of the Fourteenth amendment, held that enforcement was not germane to reapportionment. There was a noisy demonstration against the ruling. Mr. Mondell tried to force the adjournment of the conference, but he was outvoted five to one. Then there was an agreement to adjourn to meet later. Mr. Mondell sought to have Mr. Tinkham agree to abandon the conference. He was unsuccessful. It was charged that the majority leader then issued instructions that all Republicans in the House be notified that the conference had been cancelled. Orders were given the doorkeepers to close the chamber of the House. The question raised by Mr. Tinkham is being opposed by Republicans from border states, who declare that for them to vote for or against the Tinkham proposals would be to invite trouble. nce and E on $1.00, M ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, ATLANTA WILL WELCOME LARGE DELEGATION AT BUSINESS LEAGUE CONVENTION. WASHINGTON, D. C.—As the time for the next annual convention of the National Negros Business League convention draws near, it is interesting to note the continued enthusiasm that is being manifested in the 1921 convention, which will be held in Atlanta, Ga., August 17, 18 and 19. Coming at a time when our national business is passing through a grave period of change, and when the entire world is turning its attention to the stimulation of business interests, the approaching Negro Business League convention seems destined to become a very important factor in helping to shape and solidify the business interests of the Negro. Never before in the history of the organization has there been a more opportune time for getting together. Negro men and women see more clearly now than ever before that the future of the race lies in the advantage that is taken of the business opportunities which we ourselves must help to create. There is no wonder that the Atlanta convention is expected to surpass all previous meetings. Not only will the so-called big Negro business men and women be conspicuous, but the smaller merchants as well will be represented. Indications are that a number of those who have decided to visit Atlanta during the convention have made preparations to take their families, since it is seldom that such extensive preparations are made for the reception of visitors. Echoes From N. A. A. C. P. Meeting at Detroit. THE great convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, held in Detroit, June 26 to July 1, 1921, can be accounted a success from every point of view. With an attendance equal to any in the history of the association, and during a period of dismal business depression; with large overflow mass meetings every night; with the greatest silent protest parade ever witnessed in the United States; with delegates present from every state in the union, and enthusiasm running high, the National Association faces the future stronger in resolve and more determined in purpose than ever before. There is something sublime in the spectacle of a people meeting in solemn conclave, surrounded by the clouds of prejudice, but with an optimism beaming above all, as the starry heavens lie above and beyond the tempest. The N. A. A. C. P. is to-day conscious of its power, and, what is more important, it is aware of its duty and will not be swerved from its performance at any cost. The N. A. A. C. P. is to-day feared in the south, loved and respected in the north. It has never compromised a principle, nor shirked a single responsibility. The Detroit meeting will be known as a history-making affair. Its exposé of the atrocities perpetrated in Haiti resulted in a delegate being sent from the "Little Republic" to the national meet. Its battles against the iniquitous conditions in Africa caused an African prince to appear at the convention. Its uncompromising stand in favor of the interests and rights of Liberia brought President King of Liberia to Detroit in praise of the great DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, JULY 23 1921 TA WILL WELCOME LARGE EGATION AT BUSINESS EAGUE CONVENTION. HINGTON, D. C.—As the time for the next annual convention of the National Negros Business convention draws near, it is in- tended to the continued out- work of the association. Its exposé of peonage conditions in the south in general and in Georgia in particular led Governor Dorsey to come out squarely in behalf of law and order. Its revelations regarding the Tula disgrace showed the thoroughness of its investigations, as well as its ability to get to the bottom of things. Although Denver made a strong fight for the next convention, Newark, N. J., carried off the plum. The eastern branches were too strong for the west, though Chicago, Duluth, Omaha, Jackson, Tenn., and other places favored Denver. However, Colorado was well taken care of, as the Denver delegate was placed upon the committee on resolutions, by far the most important work of the association. This committee gives to the world the association's declaration of principles or articles of faith. Those comprising the committee were Harry E. Davis of Cleveland, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, attorneys Shelly Davidson, Washington, Dr. C. George L. Vaughn, St. Louis, Dr J. D. Moses, James Weldon Johnson, E. B. Henderson and George W. Gross. Space will not admit of a full account of the convention, but let it suffice that, of all the agencies looking to the uplift and betterment of the Negro's condition in America, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People stands alone as the greatest.

FOREIGN Sixty-five thousand Ukrainian immigrants have settled in Brazil, where they have been given every assistance by the Brazilian government. The 1921 Nova Scotia apple crop will be between 1,500,000 and 2,000,000 barrels, according to estimates made by the United Fruit Company of Nova Scotia. There are approximately 30,000 Americans in Mexico, and of this number 8,000 live in Mexico City, according to a recent estimate by the Department of Immigration. Underground passages are to be located at twenty of the principal street crossings in Mexico City to relieve the traffic situation, which has become serious. It is planned to have the cost of digging the tunnels covered by rentals from various concessions which are to be located underground. A 70-year-old German major general has been forced by poverty to become a horse groom in a Munich riding academy, testified members of a renters' meeting in Munich. The general paid half of his pension for the rent and heat, and went to work in the stalls to prevent starvation. Jewel thefts to the value of more than $8,000,000, which have puzzled the French police throughout the seasons on the Riviera and at Paris, have now been traced by the famous surety general to a band of expert international thieves led by a Spaniard named Yoquez, who claims American nationality. All countries whose nationals have suffered damages from Mexican revolutions have been invited by President Obregon to appoint delegates, who will meet Mexican representatives and form a permanent commission to pass upon claims. The invitation was issued in the form of a presidential decree at Mexico City. Following the lead of American, French and Austrian scientists and doctors, in grafting a portion of an animal gland into the interstitial gland of the human body to produce renewed vitality, the Imperial University in Fukuoka, Japan, will soon start experiments of that nature. The work by the school will be a departure from precedent, however, as it will be the first institution in the world to create a department for such work. Lieutenant Kirsch, French aviator, is declared to have reached an altitude of 10,000 meters (about 34,768 feet) Friday in an unofficial attempt to break the world's altitude record. Although the official record, made by Capt. R. W. Schroeder of the United States army at Dayton, Ohio, on Feb. 27, 1920, is only 33,000 feet, it is thought probable that the Aero Club of France will not certify Lieutenant Kirsch's record. GENERAL Albert J. Erlerston of Lisbon swam across the Fox river at Sherldan, IL, and then fell exhausted in a foot of water and drowned. Two men who robbed the First State Bank, Terlton, Okla., of $1,200 were found dead in a cornfield by a sheeriff's posse. It is believed that the men shot themselves. Mike Hastings of Cheyenne, Wyo., came within two-fifths of a second of the world's record for the time taken to bulldog a steer at the annual cowboy championship contests at Chicago, his time being 9-4-5 seconds. Chicago's holdup men flaunted the trade in the face of the police department. Two armed bandits held up and robbed Joseph Biehl of $10 in the lobby of City Hall while scores of detectives sauntered within call. The bandits escaped. The theft from his room in a hotel in Chicago of several hundred watches, including 200 diamond-studded wrist watches, valued in all at $d5,000, was reported to the police by Harry Preston, New York jewelry salesman. According to Preston, he left the watches in a suitcase in his hotel, and when he returned found them gone. Forrest Higgins was acquitted of a charge of having murdered his flancee, Lucy Wittum, by a jury in Circuit Court at Corunna, Mich. The jury deliberated on the evidence less than two hours and took but two ballots, the first being ten to two for acquittal. Capt. Beverly Grayson Chew, court-martialed on fifty-odd charges, including forgery and desertion, was found guilty at New York by an army trial board. He was sentenced to seven years at hard labor, involving dishonorable discharge from the service. He had defended his acts on the plan of insanity caused by wounds in the world war. Fifty-one specific forgeries were shown. Purchase of food and clothing aggregating more than $1,300,000,000 during the six years from September, 1914, to September, 1920, were made by the committee for relief in Belgium, according to the statement of Herbert C. Hoover, its chairman, in the final report made public. The committee is now in liquidation and the accounts are final and complete, with the exception of certain minor outstanding items remaining from the liquidation. Four negroes were killed and Monroe Ferguson, business man, severely wounded in a gun battle between a posse and a number of negroes near Rayville, La. The battle resulted from attempts of deputy sheriffs to arrest two negro women charged with beating some white boys who were swimming in a stream near Rayville. Two unidentified gunmen were shot and killed at Cleveland, Ohio, by police when the men resisted efforts to search them for weapons and attempted to escape, firing as they ran. A third man escaped.

WESTERN A $1,000 silver trophy has been offered by the Los Angeles speedway management to the first aviator making a non-stop flight from Los Angeles to the Atlantic coast. Charles F. Robinson, 28, fireman on the G. H. & S. A. train on which William Bohlman, engineer, was mysteriously killed July 8 near Sanderson, Texas, committed suicide at El Paso. Fire destroyed the refinery of the California-Fresno Oil Company at Fresno, Calif., together with ten tanks containing 50,000 gallons of fuel oil, causing damage estimated at between $250,000 and $500,000. A distillate explosion started the fire. Home preserved fish affected with botulinus germs caused the death of Mrs. Lida Lemens of San Jacinto at the county hospital at Riverside, Calif., according to health authorities. Seventy-five chickens out of a flock of 200 to which contents of the can were thrown, also died. In spite of prohibition, the number of criminal cases involving alleged intoxication on the part of automobile drivers is increasing, said a statement by three Superior Court judges at Los Angeles, announcing that hereafter persons convicted of driving a car while intoxicated would be given jail sentences instead of fines. Bewteen forty and fifty employs of the Utah Gas and Coke Company at Salt Lake City, left their places upon the expiration of the agreement with the company. The company offered the men a 20 per cent wage reduction and the men voted to accept a 10 per cent wage decrease. This the company refused and as a result the men walked out. The places of all the men leaving were immediately filled. Mrs. Paul Tacina shot and killed Fred Beckwich, a beet tender, near Minatare, Neb., she admitted, when she saw that Beckwich was getting the better of an argument with her husband over some hay, according to a dispatch from Minatare. Beckwich had been drinking intoxicating liquor before he came to the farm where Tacina was employed, according to Mrs. Tacina, who said she fired four times at him with a rifle. WASHINGTON The Dial bill, to require federal judges to devote their entire time to court duties, failed to get Senate consideration on a tie vote of 29 to 29. Passage of the bill would prevent Judge K. M. Landis from officiating both as a federal judge and big league baseball arbiter. Estimates of the amount of wheat sown in seventeen countries for which statistics are available show an acreage of 151,000,000 acres this year, against 155,000,000 last year, according to a summary of foreign crop prospects made public by the Department of Agriculture. The estimates were based upon reports from Belgium, Bulgaria, Poland, Rumania, Czecho-Slovakia, Algeria, Morocco, Spain, France, England, Italy, Luxemburg, Norway, Tunis, Canada, India and the United States. By a vote of ten to five the House postoffice committee voted to lay on the table the resolution of Representative Hardy of Colorado to postpone increase in second-class rates. "There is no more hope of obtaining this legislation," said Hardy. Idle freight cars on the railroads of the United States numbered 360,525 on July 8, a decrease of 4,266 from the previous week, according to a statement by the American Railway Association. A brisk demand for box cars to meet grain car shortages in the West reduced the surplus in that class to 145,112, which was 1,186 fewer than the excess of box cars at the end of the preceding week. The administration has opened negotiations for the resumption of diplomatic relations with Germany, it has been announced at the White House. At the direction of the administration, Ellis Loring Dresel, American commissioner in Berlin, has been carrying on informal discussions with the German foreign office-looking toward formal negotiations for the resumption of peace-time relations with the German nation. The House agreed to a Senate amendment to the bill authorizing an increase from $15,000,000 to $30,000,000 in the bonded indebtedness of the Philippines.

Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) **EVENTS.** Annual Monte Vista Stampede at Monte Vista, Aug. 3, 4. 5. Morgan County Fair, Fort Morgan, Aug. 24-26; W. J. Ott, secretary. Another important recognition to Colorado came from the Harding administration with the nomination by the President of Rush L. Holland of Colorado Springs to be an assistant attorney general. The appointment had the personal indorsement of Attorney General Daugherty and of the Colorado senators. Joseph P. Flannigan, an ex-sallor, was arrested at South Platte by Sheriff G. C. Kerr, following two attempts to commit suicide. He is in the Jefferson county jail. His sanity is to be tested, authorities say. Flannigan is said to have been gassed in France and was recently a patient at the Fitzsimons hospital. The third annual stampede, an event that now brings people from all over the intermountain region, will be held this year on August 3, 4 and 5 at Monte Vista. The committee in charge report that in the matter of attractions and general features the stampede this year will be the best so far held, and there is every reason to believe that a record-breaking crowd will attend. Capt. Arthur Talbott of Battery A, Colorado National Guard Artillery, has been notified that sixty-four horses are now en route to Pueblo for the use of the battery. There are also en route eight 75-mm. guns. With the horses now coming, the military organizations in Pueblo, Troop C of the cavalry and Battery A, will have ninety-six horses, all to be stabled at the state fair grounds. The count at the Colorado state penitentiary shows a prison population of 782, which is the highest for several years, and which is nearing the high-water mark of ante-prohibition days. Following the adoption of state-wide prohibition, the prison population gradually decreased from more than 800 to something like 550, the count on November 30, 1918, being 561, or 221 less than that of to-day. Alexander Baudino and Octavious Serrino, miners employed at one of the Triangle Coal Company mines, four miles south of Durango, were painfully burned when, after placing and firing a round of shots, they entered their coal room with lighted lamps, when an explosion of gas occurred. The former was burned around the head and the latter on the body. Their burns are not fatal. Thomas Phoenix, superintendent of the Watrous Cafe in Curtis street, Denver, his wife and his daughter, Miss Margaret Phoenix, 20 years old, were injured when an automobile in which they were driving to Colorado Springs for a day's outing skidded and tumbled over a 200-foot embankment between Monument and Husted. The top of the car, a sedan, prevented serious injuries to them when it caught the weight of the wheels and body as the machine turned over. Suffering from a serious concussion of the brain by reason of striking his head on an iron bar across a gate, Warren Steele of Estes Park is in a critical condition. He was driving a truck loaded with hay to the workers at Fall River road camp, and when he reached the entrance to Horseshoe Park, which is guarded by a high steel gate, the load was too high to get under the gate. He is said to have been driving fast, and the iron bar above the gate struck him on the head, knocking him unconscious for several hours and causing a serious concussion and possible fracture of the skull. There are twenty-four county agents at work in Colorado, devoting their entire time to the advancement of the farmers' interests. Ask your agent to help you. If he cannot he will get into communication with someone who can. The rapid increase in agricultural activity in non-irrigated sections of Colorado is especially emphasized by the statistics on irrigation for the state, just made public by the federal census bureau and partially interpreted by the State Immigration Department by comparison with statistics furnished that department by county assessors. The report of the census bureau shows that 1,923,950 acres of crops, exclusive of orchards, were harvested from irrigated land in the state in 1919, compared with 1,581,394 acres in 1909, or an increase of 21 per cent. The total area harvested in 1919, exclusive of orchards, was 5,052,955 acres, compared with 2,613,917 acres, the increase being 93 per cent. This leaves the area of non-irrigated crops harvested in 1919 at 3,129,005 acres, compared with 1,032,523 acres in 1909, the increase being about 203 per cent. The Ault school directors have accepted plans and awarded the contract for a new senior and junior high school building which will cost $85,000 and which will eventually house 500 pupils. The new building is to be completed and in use by early winter. The building will front on Liberty park, which was recently purchased and improved by the school district. All Police Court records were shattered at Pueblo when fines amounting to $2,390 were assessed in one day. The fines included $50 each assessed against forty-five vagrants rounded up. Record-breaking crops of both wheat and corn for Colorado and somewhat better than average production of most of the less important crops, are the outstanding features in the state-federal crop report for July, based upon the conditions of all crops on July 1, just issued by the Colorado Co-operative Crop Reporting Service. The condition of winter wheat on July 1 was 89 per cent of normal, the same as that for June and for July 1 last year, but seven points above the ten-year average. Revised acreage figures, based upon nearly complete reports from county assessors, place the area of winter wheat left for harvest at 1,400,000 acres, compared with 1,096,000 acres harvested in 1920 and 1,032,000 acres returned by the census bureau in 1919. If condition at harvest time is the same as that on July 1 the production will be about 27,312,000 bushels, compared with a final estimate of 19,841,000 bushels last year and 13,675,000 bushels reported by the census bureau for 1919. Organization of a new north-and-south highway has been completed at Yuma. Articles of incorporation were completed and the name of the North Star Highway Association of Colorado was adopted at a convention held at Yuma, Colo., and attended by more than 100 delegates from the towns along the route. The present highway runs from Cheyenne Wells, Colo., to Beaverton, Stratton, Joes, Kirk, Yuma, Bryant, Haxtum, Sedgwick, and then to Chappel, Neb. From the enthusiasm shown and the prominent men of eastern Colorado present, the highway is assured of a wonderful success. It will pass through the richest and best of eastern Colorado agricultural country, and form a real link to the proposed Gulf-Canadian highway. A total of $375,340.72 will be distributed among the public schools of the state of Colorado during the next three or four weeks. This sum represents the earnings of the state permanent school fund, and the revenue of the state land board during the last six months from leases on public lands. Distribution of the money will be made through Katherine M. Craig, state superintendent of public instruction, on a basis of school population. On January 1 $357,478.97 was divided among the sixty-three counties in the state. Death was cheated out of a victim when Hugh Quick, a Colorado Springs Boy Scout, saved a companion from drowning. Elmer Moore, a lad 14 years old, had gone down twice when Quick reached the scene. He immediately plunged into the water and succeeded in bringing his companion to the bank, although the drowning lad put up a struggle. The accident happened in Ridge lake, located in the Garden of the Gods. The Western Light and Power Company have voluntarily put an order into effect reducing street car rates in Boulder from 10 cents to $7½ cents a ride. Less than four months ago they were granted permission to raise the fare from 5 cents to 10 cents. The company found that the higher rate reduced the travel to such an extent that instead of profiting by the raise the company lost. The old settlers of the Arkansas valley will hold their annual picnic at the fair grounds of the Arkansas Valley Fair Association, in Pueblo, August 1, which in this state is a holiday, and there is every prospect that this year's celebration will be the greatest in the history of the organization, which is made up of people who have made the valley their home for twenty or more years.

Work has been begun on the temporary bridge over the Arkansas river east of Rocky Ford, one of the steel spans of which was carried away in the flood, is progressing satisfactorily, and it is expected that travel over the structure will be possible within a week, when that city will again be in touch with Holbrook and Cheraw. The Seibert Kaned Wheat Growers' Association has been organized at Seibert to take charge of the sale of the immense crop of Kaned wheat now being harvested. Seibert is the only place in Colorado with a large acreage of this wheat, which was developed during a fifteen-year period by the Kansas experiment stations. The National Association of Automobile Manufacturers will meet in Colorado Springs next June, according to definite information. The convention will be represented by 1,200 delegates from manufacturing centers of the country. Sixty-two students of the Colorado Agricultural College, now at their homes, has just been notified that they need not return to college the coming year, since they did not make enough credits last year to remain in the institution. The general crops summary received by the bureau of markets and crop estimates of the United States Department of Agriculture Indicates a general reduction of the potato crop throughout virtually all of the country, due to light rainfall. Colorado is in a favored position, however, in this respect, as the potato crop in this state is expected to be one of the largest in history. A survey of the Colorado potato crop, as it stands to-day, indicates an acreage of approximately 85,000, as compared to last year's acreage, which was only 72,000. ```markdown ``` 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.

WASHINGTON—Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall has reported against the Walsh bill to Senator Charles L. McNary, chairman of the irrigation committee. His letter, which is the new administration's first official statement of national parks policy, leaves no doubt whatever concerning his attitude in favor of the conservation of the national parks. The text follows: "Hon. Charles L. McNary, Chairman Committee on Irrigation and Reclamation, United States Senate. My dear Senator: I am in receipt of your request for report upon S. 274 and 275, proposing to authorize the State of Montana, or irrigation districts authorized by the State, to build a dam across Yellowstone river at a point not more than 8 miles below the outlet of Lake Yellowstone, for the regulation of the waters of the lake for irrigation purposes. This construc NOTWITHSTANDING President Harding's warning that propaganda by government officials against department reorganizations will not be tolerated, members of the senate and house are being flooded with protests against the proposed rearrangement of government bureaus in the interest of greater efficiency and decreased expense. Every mail is filled with such protests, directed not only to the members of the congressional Joint committee on reorganization, but also those legislators whose only part in the scheme will be to approve the final recommendations. The object, officials insist, is to poison the minds of legislators generally against any changes which might cost bureau chiefs and others their jobs. Investigation shows the most insidious propaganda is afoot in other ways to damage the program of reorganization, although there has been abatement since the vigorous statement of President Harding that all federal employees who interfere with the reor- JUST a mile or so outside of Chateau Thierry, France, stand the ruins of what was the village of Belleau, on the edge of the foothills of Belleau wood, through which the American forces rushed and turned back the Germans. In plain view of the village also stand the hundreds of white crosses, each marking the grave of an American hero who sacrificed his life in the great drive. The little village of Belleau, which contained about eighty-five houses, was destroyed during the conflict between the Germans and the Americans. It is proposed to rebuild the village as a lasting monument to the memory of those gallant sons of America who fought over and around its site. To carry out this project will cost approximately $300,000. The Belleau Wood Memorial Association, has been organized for the purpose. Upon receipt of one dollar a membership cer- MANUFACTURERS interested in the subject of waterpower, from the standpoint of the consumer, held a conference called by the Water Power league of America to discuss the questions of power, power shortage, cost of fuel and of amendments to be asked to the federal water power act. The league hopes to induce private capital to invest in the enterprises of waterpower development to relieve power shortage and reduce the cost of power to the consumer. The Water Power league assails the workings of the federal power act as "detrimental to waterpower development and asserts that the act has made it practically impossible for private enterprises to engage in these undertakings." The league also asserts that the federal act has taken from the several states all their rights to Intrastate streams within their borders. The league declares that "American tion would be within the limits of the Yellowstone National Park. "I can not favor the enactment of the measure. I do not believe it would be advisable for congress to permit private interests to develop irrigation or power sites within the limits of existing national parks. These parks were created by congress for the preservation of the scenery, forests, and other objects of beauty and interest in their natural condition, and they are created and maintained for general and national purposes as contradistinguished from local development. "If cases be found where it is necessary and advisable in the public interest to develop power and irrigation possibilities in national parks, and it can be done without interference with the purposes of their creation, I am of the opinion that it should only be permitted to be done, whether through the use of private or public funds, on specific authorization by congress, the works to be constructed and controlled by the Federal Government. Sincerely. "Albert B. Fall Secretary." It is probable that few statements issued by the Department of the Interior have brought satisfaction to so many people in so many states. Nature lovers and national park enthusiasts the country over are opposed to the Yellowstone Lake dam. organization plan will be dismissed if found guilty. There is apparently no way to control the receipt of independent letters on the subject, but there is a way to curb the activities of the government employees. One of the favorite means of procedure is for bureau chiefs to give elaborate dinners to representatives in congress whose influence they seek. At these dinners which of course, are staged under the most auspicious circumstances—the merits of the bureau in question are set forth with a view of influencing sentiment in their behalf. tificate and badge will be sent. In addition it is planned to have the names of every contributor entered in a book which will be deposited with the mayor of the rebuilt town.

TAKE I'M AWAY CONGRESS WATER POWER LEAGUE MROE FEDERAL POWER COMMISSION financiers refuse to consider the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars in projects which are made uncertain by the vagaries of a body of men subject to the changes which occur in American politics every four years." A league statement urges congress to "pass the power act to create a body which would be able to grant licenses to prospective power developers and relieve them of the tedious delays incident to getting a bill through congress for each proposed development." TWO CHICAGOANS TAKE HARD JOBS COUNTRY KNOWS DIFFICULTIES THAT CONFRONT A. D. LASKER AND CHARLES G. DAWES. CHANCE OF FAILURE IS BIG Chief of the Budget, Calling Attention to Niggardliness of Congress, Gets Help From the Army and Volunteer Business Men. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—When the new chief of the shipping board entered on his duties he appeared grateful because the press of the country had set forth the extreme difficulties of the work which he was to undertake. It does not take a long memory to recall that the shipping board since its organization has had various kinds of troubles to upset it. A man who takes hold of a government job with the chances of failure, from the very physical aspects of the case, fully equaling the chances of success, ie, of course, grateful if the country knows that he must work loyally and hard in order to overcome, and that if he shall fall it will not be altogether from lack of trying. The country has been pretty well informed concerning the specific duties which confront the new chief of the budget, Charles G. Dawes, formerly a brigadier general in charge in France of purchases and supplies for the American army. Like his fellow Chicagoan, A. D. Lasker, the chairman of the shipping board, Mr. Dawes, has let the country know that he also has a hard job ahead of him. In his statement to the public concerning his new work, Mr. Dawes took occasion virtually to charge congress with niggardiliness in making an appropriation for the new budget office. He gave the amount of the appropriation, outlined the necesities in the case, and then said that so far as profered implements were concerned for proper conduct of his work, he was about as badly off as a man who was given a "toothpick and told to tunnel Plke's Peak." Dawes Plain Speaking May Help. The quoted words occurred in the statement prepared by Mr. Dawes. It was not an extemporaneous delivery in any sense. He had thought over what he was going to say, and he said it. There seems to be a feeling in Washington, that his plain speaking may be of service in the future, when congress intends to put men at work on big tasks and is thinking on the subject of supplying them with the tools of the new trade. The chief of the budget will get $10,000 a year. All things are comparative. Mr. Dawes left a much better paying position in order to take up his new work. This thing is true of half a dozen other officials in Washington. It was true during the war under the Wilson administration and it continues to be true in peace under the Harding administration. The day after he made his statement Mr. Dawes went to work on his new job. In order to put it through with the limited paid force at his command, he must be given the aid of all the cabinet officers and of the heads of virtually all the bureaus and all the departments of government. It will be Mr. Dawes' job to prepare estimates for the fiscal year which ends June 30, 1923, and as congress makes the appropriations for these expenditures, at its next session, which begins in December, the work of preparation of the estimates must be done in five months' time. Mr. Dawes brought to Washington with him W. T. Abbott, vice president of the Central Trust company of Illinois, who will be acting assistant director of the budget for a few months. Then a permanent assistant director will be chosen. Gets Help From Army. The new budget chief has gone to the army for help. He had a wide field of work in France as director of purchases and supplies, and he had an opportunity there to study the qualifications of army officers who assisted him in his task. He has asked the government to assign to the budget work as his alds Brlg. Gen. George V. Moseley, who was assistant chief of staff at general headquarters in France, and Col. Harry C. Smither, who served under General Harbord in France in the great service of supplies with headquarters at Tours. In August a number of leading American business men will be asked to come to Washington to serve without pay in an advisory capacity in the budget bureau. They "first will be assigned to the different departments of government to advise and co-operate with the respective budget officers therefor, while they are at their estimating work. These business men volunteers will take up all controversial points with the director of the budget." New Legion Head Sees President. John H. Emery, wounded veteran of the great war, who has been chosen by the executive committee of the American Legion as the organization's commander to fill out the unexpired term of Col. F. W. Galbraith, who met his death accidentally recently has been in Washington. With Col. Theodore Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, he called upon President Harding and upon the officials of the war department. Commander Emery, as are all Legionnaires, is much interested in the work soon to be undertaken of recruiting the reserves of the army, and in forwarding a pact of lasting good will between the civilians who fought in the last war and the officers and men of the regular army. Mr. Emery was wounded in the left arm in France, so badly wounded that he has comparatively little use of the injured member today. He regrets apparently that this physical disability prevents him from accepting a commission in the reserves of the United States army. I had a talk with Commander Emery. He spoke as one Legion member to another. He epitomized the lesson which I think it is the desire of the American Legion officials to see fulfilled in spirit and in truth in the ranks of the former soldiers. Would Be Soldier Citizens. He said, "We were known as citizen soldiers; I hope that we will be known now as soldier citizens." This breathes the spirit of the service which seems to be in the hearts of the Legionnaires today. American Legion officials are interested deeply in the recent legislation which cuts the American army to a force of 150,000 men. Of course no Legion man thinks that an army of this size is sufficient for the needs of the republic, even in peace times. They feel also that the cut reflects what to the Legionnaires seems to be the selfish feeling of the law makers—that if war comes, and there is not adequate first line of defense force in the regular army, the men "who did it before" will instantly be willing to do it again. Of course, as the ex-soldiers seem to view it, the men of the Legion and of other veteran organizations patriotically will offer their services to do it again, but nevertheless there is a feeling that the million young men who come to military age every year in this republic, and the vast crowd of slackers in the last war, might be compelled, if unhappily war should come, to take on a part of the first burden which the belief is, will be certain to fall under coming conditions to the lot of the former fighters to assume. When it was proposed under the last administration to maintain a regular army of 280,000, the proportion of 17,000 commissioned officers was fixed as being proper. The army has been reduced to 150,000 men, 130,000 less than the number originally contemplated. Now it is said that congress possibly may legislate a large number of regular army officers out of their commissions. Eight Against Fewer Commissions. It can be said from first knowledge that the War department, and this of course means the administration, will resist any attempt to deprive some thousands of young Americans of their commission in the regular army. There are today 13,000 such commissioned officers, for the force never was brought up to the strength contemplated when the proposal for an army of 280,000 men was made. Admittedly, however, an army of 150,000 would be over-commanded if 13,000 officers were assigned to active duty with the troops. The contention of the War department is, however, that even with the reduced number of men in the ranks there will not be too many commissioned officers if the present number, 13,000, is kept at work. It is said there is plenty to be done by that part of the commissioned personnel which is not serving actively with the troops. A large number of officers, the authorities say, must be assigned to duty in connection with the reserves, the National Guard, the army schools, and to staff work. The authorities hold that there would be a crippling of the service if congress should take the action of reduction which it has been suggested it may attempt. The War department is not slow to point out the justice side of the matter. The department is borne out by the records when it says that there was an appeal made by the government of the United States to young men to enter the regular army as officers and to make the service their life work. As a result hundreds upon hundreds of them gave over good paying positions in civil life and entered the army in response to the call. Lincoln Statue Put Back. Sentiment in Washington has compelled the return to its former site of the statute of Abraham Lincoln which stood in front of the district court building facing John Marshall place. There was objection to the statue because it was said to be inartistic. Perhaps it was, but it was the first statue of Lincoln which was put up in the capital city, and for years was the only one. Sentiment hovered about it and now it is to be put back in the place from which adverse criticism caused its removal. A good many men of unquestioned judgment thought that the Lincoln statue was a fine bit of art. It stood upon a tall, almost spindling pillar rising to a height of 25 feet. The tall figure of Lincoln surmounted it, and as someone expressed it, it seemed to be simply a straight line from the base of the pillar to the head of its surmounting figure. However, the statue looks like Lincoln and the pose of the figure is true to life, and therefore perhaps ought to be appealing even to an artist. Associations May Be Sued. Massachusetts has a new law which permits all voluntary associations to be sued, including labor unions. MEASURE YIELDS HALF BILLION MAJORITY SAYS UNITED STATES MAY NOW RETURN TO SOUND POLICY OF PROTECTION. TARIFE BILL IS PASSED OIL, HIDES, ASPHALT AND COTTON REMAIN ON FREE LIST ( Western Newspaper Union News Service. ) Washington, July 22.—The Republican protective tariff bill, estimated by Shairman Fordney to raise around $500,000,000 in revenue annually, was passed by the House by a vote of 289 to 127—precisely the vote by which a Democratic motion for elimination of its American valuation provision was defeated. Seven Republicans voted against the measure, while the same number of Democratic supported it. Oil, hides, cotton and asphalt remained on the free list. The Longworth dye embargo, backed by a Republican majority on the ways and means committee, was thrown out, 209 to 193. There was not much chance of imposing a duty on hides and cotton after the House, in committee of the whole, had defeated amendments carrying compensatory rates on their manufactured products. When the oil amendment was reached there was such a shout of noes that a roll call was not demanded. After the House had passed the bill and adjourned, Chairman Fordney and Representative Garrett of Tennessee, the acting minority leader, issued statements defending and denouncing it. Declaring the measure a "monstrosity," Mr. Garrett asserted that the Democrats were given "just five opportunities to win, and they won all five." Although no direct comparison was made with rates in the Payne-Aldrich bill, which figured so largely in the political discussion, Chairman Fordney declared the average ad valorem rates in his bill were slightly lower. "The passage of the tariff bill by the House with a substantial majority," Mr. Fordney said, "marks the conclusion of an important step in the return of America to the sound policy of protection. It will yield, when enacted, close to $500,000,000 annually and the average of the tariff of 1909." The 346-page bill, with its multitude of amendments, goes to the Senate in the usual way, to be referred to Chairman Penrose's finance committee for tinkering. How long it will remain there nobody knows. Senator Penrose said, however, that open hearings would be held, but that they probably would be brief. It seemed to be pretty well understood by House members that when the bill comes back from the Senate it will not be in the same form as passed. Mob Deports Japs. Turlock, Calif.—An investigation of the deportation of a number of Japanese fruit pickers and melon field workers from the Turlock district is being made by Sheriff R. L. Dallas and District Attorney W. J. Brown of Stanislaus county. Eighty-eight male Japanese workers were forced to leave the district, according to figures issued by the police. Stanislaus county officials blamed the trouble on Industrial Workers of the World, who, they charge, planned the deportation when fruit workers' wages were cut approximately 15 per cent. Boy May See Sunday Baseball. Newark, N. J.—The right of a 4-year-old boy to attend Sunday baseball games despite his mother's objection, has been upheld. Vice Chancellor Backes refused an application of Mrs. Grace Lines of Morristown for an order prohibiting her husband, John A. Lines, from taking their son for Sunday walks, because she said, she had discovered Lines took the boy to ball games. Mrs. Lines has custody of the boy under a court order, but the father is permitted to have him on Sunday afternoons. Women Burn Selves and Babies. Cleveland, Ohio.—Believed to have been crazed by their love for two babies left with them as boarders and who were about to be taken from them, police believe two women destroyed themselves and the children on a bed which they set afire in their home here. The women are Mrs Eliza Moselman, a wealthy widow, 76 years old, and her daughter, Tillie 37. Both were eccentric the police say. Socialist Barred From England. London.—Morris Hillquit, the American Socialist party leader, who arrived at Dover from France, was refused permission to land by an immigration officer, who said he was acting on instructions from the secretary for home affairs, according to the Daily Herald, the labor organ. Mr. Hillquit, adds the Herald, eventually was permitted to spend the night in Dover. Unless the instructions are cancelled, the newspaper declares, he must return to France. DR. CLARENCE F.

Again we are reminded of Tenny- son's ,“Crossing the Bar,” in announe- ing the death of our esteemed towns man and friend, Richard K. De Priest, who, after visiting in Los Angeles, Calif, for recuperation of health, “crossed the bar” and passed Into the Great Beyond last Monday in Los An- geles, One of the ploneer residents of this city, and the head of a family well known among all classes of the community, Mr. De Priest was not only popular, but was accorded much honors in his lifetime, as a skilled mechanie in the painting and decora- tion of the interior of buildings, and served the Continental Oil Company for several years in that capacity, al- so the firm of McPhee and MeGinnity, with whom he found much favor in proving his ability as a specialist along this line, ‘The deceased was con- nected with a large family circle, and was the son of Mrs, Frances DePriest of Florence, Ala., where he was born. He then moved to Salina, Kan, and thence to Denver, where he became the husband of one of our leading citi- zeus, Mrs. Ida DePriest, who took a leading part in everything pertaining to the welfare of the people of Den- ver, having filled civic appointments in both state and city. Unassuming, and with a disposition to be of the best service to his fellow- man, Richard DePriest did many acts of kindness that were not heralded by the press or otherwise, but he has left many witnesses of the various deeds of kindness and charitable acts he en- gaged in during his several, years of residence in this’city, Having lived for over fifty years, and the father of a son, Claude DePriest, who serves in fire department of the city, “Engine Company No, 8, the deceased took a particular interest in the lives of the youths of the city, and in his own quiet way would counsel and instruct in helping to bring them to the standard of self-respecting manhood, He was, the cousin of ex-Alderman DePriest of Chicago, for years a member of the city couneil of that city, and had a number of relatives in various import- ant positions In different parts of the country. He leaves to mourn his loss, a sorrowing mother, widow, son, brothers, sisters, numerous — other relatives, and a host of friends, who share the heartfelt sympathy of those who survive him, The remains of the deceased will ar rive in Denver tomorrow — in charge of the Douglass Undertaking Company, and the funeral services will be held ‘Tuesday, 2 p. m., from his late residence, 2516 Lafayette street. We have lost a real friend and ardent supporter, and the COLORADO STATESMAN, sharing with the grief- laden family and sorrowing friends, offers in this hour of trial its sincere condolence, commending them to the care and keeping of Him Who gives und Him Who takes, May his soul rest in peace.

Sunday night last was given over to a “health service” at Shorter A. M. Be Chureh, and an intellectual feast sel- dom enjoyed was given to a large crowd. Dr. Shannon, a physician of great renown, was the first speaker, and his subject was “Common Sense,” and the address was all that the title implies. In a calm but convincing manner of speech that approached near to eloquence, he held his hearers in rapt attention for thirty minutes, and there were many who grasped his hand at the close of the meeting im grateful appreciation of the plain, homelike facts he gave out. Next came Dr. A. R. Eagleson, @ brilliant young dentist, who spoke om “The Care of the Teeth.” Dr, Eagie- son announce he would speak only five minutes, and he tried hard to stay within that limit, but when he warmed up to his subject with a complete mas~ tery of the situation, he was bidden “Go on, go on,” by the audience. The third and last speaker was Dr, ‘Tompkins, known as “Colorado's Own,”” who spoke on “How to Keep the Race Strong.” And here let us say that, though a large crowd was prevent, it is. to be regretted that the address of Dr- Tompkins could not have been heard by every Negro in Denver. It was a masterpiece of logic and inside knowl- edge truly helpful to all. aa Rev, W. H. Thomas has inaugurated a progressive policy at Shorter, and the general public is immensely bene- fitted by such meetings as that of lust Sunday night.

Office, 2626 Welton St. By Hendrix : MINIATURE AUTO BUILT BY BOY A boy driving a race car. This miniature automobile, built largely of jars or a motorcycle, is capable of attaining a speed of 60 m/s an hour. It was built by Harry Habig, a Cincinnati high school student. It took the youngster almost six months to build the "speedster," but when the fact that his "work shop" was the cellar of his home and his tools were crude are taken into consideration, the finished product is a marvel of mechanical skill. The motorcycle engine is air-cooled; therefore Harry did not have to bother with a radiator. The Habig special weighs less than 500 pounds and will make from 30 to 40 miles on a gallon of gasoline. Standard motorcycle wheels and tires are used. The photograph shows Harry in his "speedster." STETHOSCOPE TO LOCATE TROUBLE Simple and Convenient Contrivance Can Be Put Together to Find Knock of Engine. OPERATION OF DEVICE EASY Use of Instrument Will Warn Car Owner of Approaching Disturbances and Will Save Much Money in Making Repairs. A powerful stethoscope for locating knocks in machinery can be made at small expense. It consists of a cylindrical chamber about four inches in diameter and four inches long, to one end of which is attached a long rod to touch the machine being tested. From the other end are run two rubber tubes, one to each ear. The cylindrical chamber may be made of any convenient material. The rod end of the chamber is made of shim steel .007 inch thick, and the end of the rod is attached to it with rivets. Near the other end of the chamber is a copper diaphragm—16-gauge material. Operation Is Simple. The operation of the device is simple. The tubes are placed in the ears, and the point of the rod is rested on that part of the engine from which the "Listening In" on Heart-Throbs of an Automobile Engine. noise seems to come. The vibrations pass from the motor through the rod to the steel diaphragm, setting it in motion, and the vibrations are transferred to the ear. Saves Repair Bills. With this device in your tool-kit you can always be on the lookout for engine trouble. The stethoscope will warn you that trouble is approaching, and, if you heed, it will save you many dollars that would otherwise be spent in repairs.—Ernest Schwartz in Popular Science Monthly. DON'T TRY TO BEAT TRAIN AT CROSSING Do you know that a train traveling at the rate of fifty miles an hour goes 750 feet in ten seconds? That it requires about 700 feet to stop a train going at fifty miles an hour after the brakes are first applied? That many trains, especially electric trains, travel at the rate of fifty miles an hour most of the time in unobstructed territory and on open tracks? That it doesn't pay to try to beat the trains at their own game? That 100 feet away from the crossing is the best place from which to watch a train pass a crossing? SIMPLE REMEDY FOR AILING CARBURETOR Troubles Are Many and Varied, Some Common. Little Water in Gasoline Will Cause Disturbance Because It Is Heavy and Settles at Bottom—Keep Gas Strainers Clean. "Carburetor troubles are many and varied, but there are some which are common, and, as a rule, the remedy is simple in these cases," says William H. Stewart Jr., president of the Stewart Automobile school. "A little water in the gasoline will cause a lot of trouble. Water is heavier than gasoline and settles at the bottom. Therefore, when the fuel is low in the tank, any water is likely to be drawn into the carburetor. "The carburetor sometimes acts like a man when imbibing too much liquid refreshment. It has a tendency to become ill. This indicates that the float valve mechanism is out of order. A leaky float will cause the same trouble. If the valve is to blame this may be determined by looking at its seat. If the seat is rough it should be carefully ground in with oil and emery by rotating the spindle on its seat. A bent valve spindle will also cause flooding. In this case remove the float, place the spindle on a block of wood and straighten the bent part with a few light taps from a lead hammer. "Should the engine balk suddenly and the ignition system be found to be in good shape, the feed pipe is probably choked. Open the drain valve of the carburetor and if the fuel does not continue to emerge in a steady stream after the float chamber is emptied the trouble is in the pipe. Unscrew the unlons at each end of the pipe line and run a wire through its length. Also make sure that all the gas strainers are clean, both at the vacuum tank and carburetor. "The set-screw on the butterfly valve sometimes becomes loose. This trouble is easily found, inasmuch as the engine will fall to respond to the movement of the throttle. The supply valve in the feed pipe at the tank end should fit snugly in its sent, otherwise it may jgr partly shut and cut off the flow of gasoline. A leak in the intake pipe will admit too much air in the cylinders and result in a poor mixture, which cannot be set by changing the adjustments."

STATE OF WAR IS FORMALLY ENDED KNOX RESOLUTION IS CHANGED SO THAT THE DECLARATION OF WAR ISN'T REPEALED. HARDING SIGNS ARMY BILL Land Forces Now Must Be Cut Down to 150,000 by October 1 by Arbitrary Discharges—Many "Non-Coms" to Lose Chevroons. Bv EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Finally the senate and the house have agreed to compromise on the Knox resolution declaring peace with Germany, and the resolution is, at this writing, Just about to be signed by the President. Therefore war with Germany comes to an end legally, when as a matter of fact it came to an end nearly three years ago. Another legislative event which in a way has to do with war, or with preparation or lack of preparation for it, is the signing of the army bill by the President. The regular army of the United States is to be cut to 150,000 men. It is said that the president signed this last measure with extreme reluctance. If he had not signed it, it would have been necessary to pass the army appropriation bill again, and during the time that it would take to pass it in the form which the President could approve, the service would be without money to run it. It is understood that President Harding hopes legislation will be enacted quickly which will save some of the situations which have been produced by the great decrease in the enlisted personnel of the land forces of the country. It can be said that while the secretary of war and the army authorities generally are totally opposed to the great reduction in the size of the army, the decrease is not their sole concern. Sentiment and sympathy enter into the matter. By October 1 the army must be cut down to the figures given. This means that thousands of men who entered the army willing to serve their country must be discharged by arbitrary means and forced back into the civil life to try to find employment. "Non-Coms" Must Suffer. Another matter which is of high concern to the service generally is the fact that the cut in the army means that hundreds upon hundreds of men who have risen to non-commissioned rank by attention to duty and by exemplary service must of necessity lose their chevrons and become privates again. Army officers say that good non-commissioned officers are just as essential as good commissioned officers and that the men who worked hard to get their chevrons, although they may be retained in the service as privates, will be so discouraged by their loss of rank that they will either go into civil life as soon as their enlistments expire, or will ask to be included in the lists of the men who are almost at once to be arbitrarily discharged. Returning to the agreement for peace with Germany, there is some amusement in Washington because both houses of congress claim a victory in the compromise which has been effected. Senator Knox, who originated the resolution for peace, declares that he is entirely satisfied, and intimates that the house has surrendered to his view of the case. The house on the other hand, says that the senate has accepted the house amendments which make radical changes in the original senate proposition, and that the victory is a house victory. War Act Not Repealed. The main thing is that the house succeeded in changing the Knox resolution so that instead of repealing the congressional act declaring that war existed with Germany, the resolution simply puts an end to the war. It is held by the ex-soldiers of the country that to repeal the war resolution would be construed in a way as meaning that the United States was sorry that it had declared war. This view of the case was taken by the house of representatives, and it succeeded in changing the Knox document so that the war simply is declared to be at an end. It is a puzzle to some people in Washington to know why the Pennsylvania senator desired the repeal. One section of the resolution is intended to cover cases of deserters from the United States army who have found refuge in other countries. Of course, the case of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, now in Germany, from which vantage point he has been sneering at the American authorities, was the moving reason for the insertion of this provision. The specific paragraph which covers the cases of the deserters is that nothing contained in the resolution shall be construed nor be effective "to terminate the military status of any person now in desertion from the military or naval service of the United States, nor to terminate the liability to prosecution and punishment under the selective service law, approved May 18, 1917, of any person who failed to comply with the provisions of said act, or of acts amendatory thereof." There has been a sudden shift in the plans of Charles G. Dawes, director of the budget. In his preliminary statement concerning his work, which will be an attempt to cut the expenses of government, General Dawes said that he had but five months in which to prepare the budget for the opening session of congress in December, a budget which would outline probable expenses and probable revenues for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1922. Suddenly announcement is made that an attempt will be made to accomplish much saving during the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1921. President Harding called Budget Director Dawes into consultation and asked him if he did not think it would be possible to get the heads of the departments and of the bureaus together and to determine if it would not be possible to save a lot of money out of the sums already appropriated by congress for the fiscal year which was about to begin. The director said, "I'll try." In his preliminary statement he had spoken of five months as an exceedingly short time in which to prepare for savings in the fiscal year which does not begin until the summer of 1922, and this shows what the exertion must be to accomplish a like result against the appropriations already made and which are to carry the government through the fiscal year which began July 1. Of course the fiscal year already is here, and expenditures are being made, but by August 1 the hope is that there will be an understanding of the situation which will be thorough enough to enable decisive cuts to be made in the expenditures for the rest of the year. It is not believed in Washington that as much saving can be accomplished this year as next, a belief which is natural because of the necessity of working so rapidly in the work of present-day saving. Meeting With Bureau Heads. The day after President Harding and Director Dawes had their conference, a mass meeting of the heads of departments and bureaus was called. The various officials met in the auditorium of the department of interior, and President Harding presided, an unusual thing for a president to do. It was explained that the director had been asked to prepare an absolutely new budget and that its maximum it was hoped would be below the minimum amount provided for any existing governmental expenditures. There seemed to be at the meeting an enthusiasm on the part of the chiefs of the various bureaus for the work which is in hand. They promised individually and collectively to study the situation and to report on all cases in which it seemed that money might be saved, and also to report on the ways and means of saving it. It has been known for years that men who have been at the heads of bureaus in Washington for a long time always were anxious to make a showing of economy in their work, but they have been powerless in the face of the fact that appropriations were made for this work and that work, and although the chiefs might think that the cost was to be excessive, the actual spending of the money was in other hands, and it has become a truism that men who spend government money are anxious to spend it all, not necessarily simply because they want to spend it, but because they think perhaps that-better results can be obtained by big purse methods. Closer Supervision Needed. It is believed in Washington that if government work could be carried on as the work of a good many private enterprises is carried on, great economies could be accomplished. In some government construction work there never has been the sharp supervision over the employees that an economical-minded superintendent of a private corporation exercises. In some ways Uracle Sam is an easy boss. Of course as a result of a study of the budget, and of the enterprises for which the money is to be spent, attempts will be made to determine whether or not the work can be done at a less cost than the original appraisers thought it could be done. So, for instance, if ten million dollars are appropriated for a specific object and the students of the situation think it can be done for nine million dollars, a trial will be made and the treasury may benefit to the extent of one million dollars. It must not be understood that the institution of the budget system will prevent congress from making any appropriations for anything that it sees fit. Congress cannot take away through the enactment of laws the powers which are granted to it by the Constitution. Nebula Nicknames Many of the glowing gas clouds in the heavens, known as nebula, present shapes that have given rise to nicknames, used by astronomers as alternatives of the more formal catalogue numbers of these objects. Among these are the Keyhole nebula, the Crab nebula, the Pinwheel nebula, the Dumbell nebula, the Owl nebula, the Horseshoe or Swan nebula, the Whirlpool nebula, the Omega nebula and the North American nebula. The outline of the latter bears a rather striking resemblance to that of the North American continent. Things Even Up.

LACTIC ACID 48 HEALTHFUL Clabber Is Relished as Refreshing and Wholesome by Many People, Espe- pecially If Served With Sugar and Sweet Cream. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) “accidents will happen in the best- regulated families.” In spite of the most careful protection from dust, files, or exposure to the sun, milk oc- casionally turns sour in the refriger- ator during the hottest months. _ It may be that there {s more left-over milk than usual, or that the ice sup- ply is low, or that heat or thunder have affected the milk, Sour milk, nevertheless, has the same food value as it had originally, specialists In the United States Department of Agricul- ture say, because it ts still a source of Ime for bone building, of protein for tissue repair. Lactic Acid Considered Healthful. ‘The bacteria which have caused touring are not necessarily harmful, If the milk was properly cared for, and the effect of those which caused the development of the lactic acid in the milk Is thought by some to be beneficial. Many who cannot get but- termilit to drink Ike to churn thick, freshly soured milk with an egg beat- er till the curds are broken up into fine particles, and use it In the same way. Clabber—the coagulated, semiliquid rtate of fresh sour milk—tis relished as refreshing and wholesome by many people, especially if served with sugar and sweet cream. The addition of maple sirup, honey, orange marmalade, or other preserves to clabbered cream makes a delicious dessert.

Sour milk or buttermilk and baking soda may frequently be substituted where the recipe calls for sweet milk. In place of one teaspoonful of baking powder a scant half teaspoonful of soda is used to each cupful of sour milk. Chocolate cake is particularly good when this substitution is made. In griddle cakes and muflins the same plan may be followed.

Two Years of Experimental Work or Subject Made by Home Economics Kitchen—Much Corn Reported Spoiled Last Year. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) A lUttle vinegar added to beans, corn, peas, asparagus, or spinach when canned by the water-bath meth- od, will add materially in the reduc- tion of loss by spollage. Moreover, the time of processing these vegetables may be somewhat reduced when a sufficient amount of acid jx used, the home economics kitchen of the United States Department of Agriculture re- ports after two years of experimental work on the subject. In certain sections of the country in 1919 and 1920 canned sweet corn did not keep well, whether processed continuously or intermittently. In the home economies kitchen quart cans of corn processed for less than six hours continuously spoiled, while others canned at the same time, with the addition of four tablespoons of vinegar to one quart, did not spoil either year, although given only two hours process- ing. If only three tablespoonfuls of vinegar are used, process four hours; two or three tablespoonfuls of lemon Juice to a quart have equally good re- sults when processed three hours. Corn should always be boiling hot when packed into the jar, With spinach and string beans the addition of two tablespoonfuls of the acid proved equally effective in redue- ing spotlage. Vinegar or lemon juice in the small amounts used modifies to some degree the natural flavor of the vegetable, but the acid taste ts not objectionable to most persons. Moreover, much of the acid taste can be washed off before the vegetables are served. Experiments with vinegar and other acids in canning vegetables will be continued in the kitchen next weak, FRESH FRUIT IS EXCELLENT It Supplies Some Sugar and the Im. portant Mineral Matters, Mild Acids and Vitamines. Fruit Js food. It supplies some sugar and the important mineral matters, mild fruit acids, and vitamines, say experts in the United States Depart. ment of Agriculture, office of home economics. ‘These food substances help to keep the body in good health and to prevent constipation. Use fresh fruit whenever possible and can the surplus. Apples, pears, plums, peaches, cherries, oranges, grapefrult, grapes, bananas, avocados, berries—the st 1s very long. Some. where In the United States some of them are always in season, and some are in market everywhere much of the time. Use dried fruits, either home dried or those on sale almost everywhere.

The nail makes a good nut pick and has the advantage of being inexpensive. Milk bottles should be carefully wiped before opening them, for more than one reason. Hands which may not have been very clean may have handled the bottle, or bits of glass may have been chipped off and will fall into the glass when the milk Is poured out. ‘A granite dish may be a source of danger, for bits of the enamel, sharp as glass, may be mixed with the rood. Never strike the side of a granite dish with a metal spoon.

The Juice of half a lemon in a glass of water upon rising is considered a tonic and a mild laxative. To trent a cold a pint of hot lemonade with not too much sugar, taken just upon retiring, Is one of the best of home remedies. TEMPTING TABLE TRIFLES.

An author was showing a visitor over his half-completed house. She was evidently disappointed: “In your books,” she said, “you describe baron- inl halls and splendid castles. But when you start building you put up a Ittle house like this. It's frightfully disappointing. Why do you do it?” “Words,” said the author, “are cheap: er than stones.” Eider-Down Duck. There are two varieties of elder duck—the common eider and the king's elder, the latter supplying the down which Is exported from Green- land, while that of the former comes mainly from Iceland. ‘Ten thousand pounds of down Is obtained annually from the latter country, The elder fs larger than the common duck, ‘The drake is black with a white back, while the female ts brown with white spots.

EXQUISITE MATERIALS FOR SUMMER PLAYTIME FROCKS THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY white but looks well in any color, and especially so in the popular shades, as peach, jade, orchid, pale pink, blue or canary. Although many organdie and swiss dresses combine two colors, or a color and white, this dress uses only one. It has a straight skirt with wide tucks, a plain waist with tucked vestee, and an ample fichu-collar. The sleeves are elbow length and the girdle is made of organdie. SUMMERTIME sets many lovely scenes as backgrounds for the summer girl, or anyone else who takes these backgrounds into consideration when choosing her frocks. For most of us, practical clothes for this workday world in which we find ourselves are as important at least as those that are decorative, and it happens that the ginghams, chambrays, percales and other dependable cottons that make our frocks for work have attractions equal to those that make the dresses of our leisure hours. Special designers plan these dresses on lines that prove as charming as any others. Many kinds of flowers are made of organdle and used for trimmings on frocks of this material. Peach-colored organdle, in a tucked frock with bodice cut in kimono style, has flat roses in different colors set about its round neck, and makes a wonderful background for them. But the business of living requires us to have frocks for play and leisure, and summer brings with it the crisp, diaphanous stuffs that belong to it alone. Organdie and dotted swiss have their day under the skies of summer, and she is wise who makes the most of it. These materials come in the most exquisite and flower-like colorings and in white that looks as cool as snow; they are within the means of everyone and the easiest to make up neatly. The pretty models, as shown in the picture, are very simply designed and very successful. The plain organdie at the left is shown in Snowy white dots on a blue ground, in the swiss dress at the right, make one think of snowflakes against a dark blue sky and looks cool and crisp as possible. It has a white organdle collar and vestee, short sleeves with double cuffs of organdle bound with dotted swiss and a blue ribbon sash. A few sprays of follage embroidered in the tunic in white wool finish off a little dress that is equal to almost any summertime function. DRESS ACCESSORIES THAT TONE UP SUMMER COSTUME J sent novelties, like the two pictured here, in which plain satin ribbon and narrow figured ribbons are combined and the bags mounted on metal mountings. The mountings will outwear the fabric, but will serve as well for new materials. An odd bag, suspended from the body of a doll, is shown in the picture, for wear with evening dress. THERE are as many little things that tone up this summer's costume and lend it an accent, as any season has afforded. There are veils for those who like their softening lines, small fur neck-pieces that are graceful and kind to their wearers, girdles of "ivory" and beads or "composition" in different colors that are new. There are many new necklaces of crystal and of seeds, new styles in beaded purses and others of new kinds of leather, including ostrich skin, and there are even a few new parasols, with those covered with cretonne a cheerful revival. By all such means charming changes and harmonies lend interest to summer costumes. Strands of beads are the most popular of all purely decorative dress accessories and those of cut crystals vie with the universally worn strands of pearl beads. The glass beads are made in many colors, both in clear and opaque varieties; those that imitate jade are found to harmonize with nearly all summer dresses. Not much jewelry is worn, but a pretty novelty in bracelets is a delicate and flexible band of fillgree silver flowers or a strand of rhinestones for the arm. A pretty company of new shopping bags reveals these necessities made of summer silks as well as of ribbons. Tricolette and heavy crepe weavings are used for them in the same sort of mountings as are used for ribbon. In decorations they seem to have taken their cues from sport hats, the same embroideries in yarn and bead work appear on them. Those of ribbon pre- Julia Bottomley J. R. CONTEE, Pres. and Mgr.
