Lily Whites Control Virginia State Convention—Bodily Ejecting Accredited Negro Delegates-Chairman Adams Nominates Virginia to Lead Party in "the New South." VOL. XXVII. NEGRO REPUBLI PLANNING NATIONAL TREATMENT AG Lily Whites Control Virginia Ejecting Accredited Neg Adams Nominates V in "the Ne Special to the Colorado Statesman Washington, D. C., July 16, 1921: STORM is here to become a risen, tissue is likely to become nation- wide in its scope, over the seem- ing policy of the present adminis- tration to permit "Lily White" Repub- licans to dominate party affairs in the South, and especially because of the disgraceful treatment accorded duly accredited Negro delegates at the Virginia State Republican Convention, held at Norfolk, July 17th, when, for the first time in the history of a Repub- lican convention, not a single Negro delegate was seated, the police being ordered to keep out all Negroes who applied for admission, and when three regularly elected Negro de- legates with no contests pending against them were forcibly ordered to leave the floor of that convention, dominated as it was by Congressman C. Bascom Slemp, chief priest of the "Lily Whites," member of the Republican National Committee, and the leading adviser and spokesman of the present administration in the South. Not only in Virginia, but Negro leaders everywhere, are astounded at the treatment that has been and is being accorded faithful Negro Republicans, whose patriotism and party service have been so soon forgotten. Patience has ceased to be a virtue, and intelligent, organized resentment on the part of Negro voters North and South seems the only manly alternative and the only motive power that will tend to bring the Republican ship back to its traditional moorings of justice and fair play to all Americans without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. A nation-wide movement in this direction is already in progress, headed by Hon. J. R. Pollard, prominent Negro attorney of Richmond, Va., and state chairman of a large Republican faction in Virginia which polled thousands of votes last November, and Hon. H. H. Price, also of Richmond Va., the recent Negro nominee for Congress in the Third Virginia district, who polled 2.882 votes against the 646 votes cast for John L. Grubbs, the "Lily White" Republican nominee. These two gentlemen are here in Washington making arrangements to call a national conference of Negro Republican leaders and voters throughout the country to discuss the Negro's present political status and to formulate the best plan of combatting the "Lily White" movement which seems destined to envelop and control the entire Republican party. Questioned concerning their plans. Messrs. POLLARD and PRICE, of Richmond Va., said: OUR ACTION IN CALLING A NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF NEGRO REPUBLICAN LEADERS AND VOTERS is caused not only by the outrageous treatment accorded Negro delegates at the so-called Virginia Republican State Convention held in Norfolk, July 14th, where police were ordered to remove all Negroes from the floor of the convention, and where one Negro delegate, by the name of Edward T. Morton, regularly elected from Arlington county, Virginia, who refused to leave the floor, was forcibly ejected, but we are moved to take this step because we know that the "Lily White" movement, while now largely confined to the South, unless vigorously opposed and checked, will gradually eat its way into mid-central and northern states where Negro voters now constitute the balance of power, and then it will be only a short time before the party of "Lincoln and Grant and McKinley" will have become the party of "Tillman, Vardaman, Bascom State Illist & Nat Illist Nos. State House Slemp and the Devil." This "Lily White" movement, while southern born, is fast getting a strong grip on the present administration and northern party leaders, as can be seen (1) by the definitely announced policy of President Harding not to appoint a single colored Republican to federal office in the South that requires confirmation by the United States Senate, now largely Republican: (2) by the recent action of the Republican National Committee in radically cutting down Negro delegates in national conventions, over the protests of such sterling Negro Republican leaders like Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia national committeeman, and Robert R. Church of Tennessee, etc., and at the same time refusing to act in the direction of cutting down southern white representation in Congress, even in the face of clearly defined constitutional provisions and the large Republican majority now in Congress: (3) by action of the administration forces in covertly and openly encouraging C. Bascom Slemp of Virginia in spreading his slimy "Lily White" propaganda all over the Southland and in actively meddling with and "balling up" the political affairs of Georgia, Mississippi and other southern states where Negroes have any voice in party affairs, and even rewarding him for his underhanded devilty by permitting him to dictate patronage all over Virginia, including numerous jobs in the departmental service at Washington: (4) by the action of the present administration in silently acquiescing in, if not encouraging flagrant violation of the civil service law, in the matter of demoting, dismissing, segregating, denying appointment to, and mistreating colored clerks and other colored employees in the government departments at Washington and elsewhere throughout the country: (5) by the seeming intention of the present administration to let the protests of several hundred "Lily White" women employees of the Treasury Department, flying the red flag of race prejudice, defeat the claims of justice, outweigh the will and wishes of twelve million loyal Negro Americans, and upset a commendable precedent, by preventing the appointment of a Negro as registrar of the United States treasury, a position creditably filled by members of our race from time immemorial under various Republican administrations: (6) by Hon. Will H. Hays, former chairman of the Republican National Committee, gracing, by his presence, the "Lily White" convention at Roanoke, Va., last year over the protest of many Republicans of the state, both white and colored, and openly encouraging the cutting down of Negro delegates this year at the recent meeting of the national committee; and (7) by Chairman John T. Adams of the Republican National Committee falling in the same trap, by writing a special letter to Congressman C. Bascom Slemp at the recent "Lily White" state convention in Virginia, which excluded Negro delegates in flagrant violation of the resolution and mandates of the last Republican National Convention, and in which encouraging letter Mr. Adams wrote the following astounding paragraphs: "ON THE FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES VIRGINIA IN SENTIMENT IS AS STRONGLY REPUBLICAN AS IOWA. THIS STATE SHOULD ASSUME TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE IN THE COUNCILS OF THE NATION. A COUNTRY FOREVER UNITED CALLS ON OLD VIRGINIA TO HELP IN RE- ance and E on $1.00, M ADO E JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, TORING ITS INSTITUTIONS. SO WE REPUBLICANS OF THE NATION COME TO YOU OF VIRGINIA. WITH YOUR PATRIOTIC TRADIATIONS AND GENIUS FOR LEADERSHIP. WE WANT YOUR HELP. WE WANT YOUR SKILLED HAND ON THE RUDDER AS WE NEAR THE END OF THE VOYAGE TO BRING THE NEW SOUTH INTO THE HARBOR OF REPUBLICANism. WE ARE READY TO TAKE A PILOT ABOARD AND WE ASK VIRGINIA TO TAKE THE PILOT'S COMMISSION." Ye gods! Think of Bascom Slemp and Virginia piloting the Republican party! A man who carries the Ninth Virginia ditrict for himself, but didn't carry it for Harding in the last election: a state where the "Lily White" Negro exclusion policy has been tried out time and time again without any semblance of success in building up a strong white Republican party! The Republican party, by nominating Virginia to take the leadership in southern Republican affairs and by covertly and openly aiding and abetting Congressman and National Committeeman C. Bascom Slemp in his "Lily White" propaganda, is virtually digging a grave for itself and inviting a defeat in 1922 as ignominious as its national victory in 1920 was overwhelming. Republican candidates in states and districts where Negroes largely vote may well beware the ascendancy of "Lily White-ism" and the triumph of Bascom Stemp, for unless the Republican national leadership radically alters its present program Negro retaliation is certain to follow, and, in normal campaigns, when no super-normal issue like the League of Nations figures, the loss of Negro votes in northern states will give the G. O. P. a rude awakening. In commenting on the Chairman John T. Adams' letter, the RICHMOND (VA.) NEWS-LEADER of July 15th, in its editorial column, said: "It is well enough for the National Republican chairman to invoke the white Republicans of Virginia to rescue the South from the hands of Democrats; it is well enough for the delegates at Norfolk to reason that the only way of fulfilling the mandate of the national organization is to make the Republican party a white man's party in the South. But when the pinch comes in the general elections, the Negro vote IN THE DOUBTFUL STATES will be of sufficient strength to compel the Republican national organization to choose between Negro support in the North and white support in the South. The national committee may temporize and employ the usual device of deferring the whole matter to a distant date; but sooner or later it must exercise its influence in behalf of Negro representation in the Republican councils of Virginia." H. H. Price of Richmond further stated: "The Pollard faction refused to present its credentials to the 'Lily White' convention at Norfolk, July 14th, because said convention was illegally constituted in that the mass conventions which elected delegates thereto were held in places where Negroes could not attend and hence were excluded from participation in election of delegates, in direct violation of the resolution and mandates of the last Republican National Convention; those that were held in places where Negroes could attend engaged and ordered police to bar Negro delegates. Bascom Slemp's action in Virginia imperils the success of the whole Republican program not only in Virginia, but elsewhere—especially where Negro voters are the balance of power; the time is past when they can outrage Negro voters in the South without suffering retaliation on the part of Negro voters in the North. Our race is fast coming together and becoming united industrially and politically, and we intend to make a nation-wide appeal direct to Negro voters everywhere. The Pollard faction has called a state convention to be held in Richmond on Labor Day, September 5th, and will put a full state ticket in the field. This convention will be open to all Republicans, white and colored, and the place and date for the national Negro conference will soon be announced in the public press."

BOMBS I CANNOT but feel constrained to express my opinion of the misguided inbecile who recently attempted to drive a man from the home which was his by right of purchase by throwing a bomb into his front yard. Of the motive which prompted this bomb thrower there can be no doubt. He felt himself to be superior to the Negro, and did not wish the latter to occupy a house in the neighborhood in which his house is undoubtedly situated. By his bungling attempt to frighten the family from the vicinity he places himself upon a plane infinitely lower than that of the colored family against whom the act was directed. It is such headstrong and thoughtless acts as this which have time and again inflamed the spark of animosity that has burned deep in the breast of both white and black since the importation of slaves began in 1619. John Brown, wouldbe patriot and abolitionist, by his attempts to personally eliminate the pro-slavery faction of the country, precipitated a feeling which resulted in the civil war. The fact that he was for the colored man and the men in question against him is immaterial. It has the same bearing upon the question as has the recent bombing on Gilpin street, for it is an unpremilitated and thoughtless act pertaining to a delicate issue of paramount importance, the Negro question. Similarly, the race riots of Chicago, Tulsa and other sections have been the result of just such violent and unwarranted interference with personal rights and liberties. There can be no doubt that something should and must be done to arbitrate the racial difficulties of the United States, but it must be a united action, arbitration, and with both sides as well satisfied as may be. That one man, fiery and determined though he may be, should take upon himself the mission is absurd, and if the offender is discovered and captured he should be prosecuted without regard to the possible justice of his motive.-Mediator, Denver, in Rocky Mountain News. RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources RACENEWS Gathered From Various Sources St. Paul, July 25.—A. S. Legg, Negro porter on Chicago Greatwestern passenger train No. 10, Minneapolis to Omaha, jerked the gun from a train robber's hand and kicked him off the train tonight just outside the city limits.

NEGRO WOMEN ASK LAW TO PREVENT LYNCHINGS. Phoenix, Ariz., July 18.—Enactment of a federal law to provide punishment for persons guilty of lynching, mob violence and rioting was urged by Mrs. Joanna Snowden Porter of Chicago, in an address at the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's Clubs convention here tonight. Mrs. Porter, who is president of the federation, also asked for action by the Interstate Commerce Commission to secure equal railroad accommodations for all American citizens, regardless of color, and government assistance in distributing the overflow Negro population in the north. AWAKENS AFTER SLEEPING THREE YEARS. Fort Smith, Ark., July 23.—Jim Eshlinger, colored, the "sleeping wonder," who has slept steadily for more than three years, nearly rivaling the mythical Rip Van Winkle, and who awoke from his long sleep last Friday, is able to feed himself. He has been awake during the normal hours of human wakefulness since Friday, sleeping soundly and normally the last two nights. Sunday morning he was able to feed himself, eating simple, easily digested foods. His condition, though emaciated from lying as though lifeless for so long, is said to be fair. It is though that the crisis is reached and physicians are watching and waiting with the keenest interest his ultimate out come. NO 42 Mobile, Ala., July 25.—Mobile city and county Ku Klux Klan, said to number 3,500, distributed bills throughout the city threatening colored doctors. The sign said, "Seventy-two hours after this notice, you must have the word 'colored' posted on your signs! This wating on white patients must be stopped. You know this in the next case you attend, so don't blame us, because you have been warned. This is no Negro whipping organization, but should occasion arise, be assured we will not hesitate." DR. SCARBOROUGH SAILS ON CARMANIA FOR EUROPE. New York, July 22.—Dr. W. S. Scarborough sailed Saturday on the transatlantic liner Carmania of the Cunard line for Liverpool, England.

After touring through Greece and Italy the doctor intends coming home, probably late in October. ARKANSAS PRELATE TO PASTOR WHITE CHURCH. Toronto, Can., July 22.—To fill the pulpit of one of the largest white Presbyterian churches in Toronto for five weeks with a minister of our race is the interesting departure from the general rule of supply for the summer months that Knox church is making this year. For the last week in July and during all of the month of August, Rev. Joseph J. Hill of Ronnoke Baptist church, Hot Springs, Ark., will occupy the pulpit. Dr. Hill has been a professor of science in a Southern university, and is a graduate of the Academy of Music. He is a quiet, appealing and persuasive preacher, it is stated by those who have heard him, with a message all his own, which he delivers with great eloquence. During the summer holidays last year he preached in the Moose Jaw Methodist church, with a seating capacity of 1,000, which was crowded at both services. HAITIAN EDITOR REPORTED AS SAULTED IN PRISON.

OGDEN Kaious, Chicago Packer with and the first one he will want to promote to greater responsibilities. But do not be deceived. Dependablenese is a rare accomplishment— so rare that every executive is on the lookout for it wherever it may be found. It is not to be acquired by wishing for it. It is the prize that comes from self-mastery. What is a dependable man? You can tell him by these earmarks : First, he is one you can rely upon to do his own thinking. Business re- quires thinking and someone must do it, The dependable man never sidesteps his share nor tries to pass it along to someone else. Next, he is one whose judgment you can trust. He doesn’t do fool- ish things. He knows his own abilities; and, not being conceited, he is equally aware of his own weaknesses, He has the happy faculty of un- derstanding other people’s viewpoints and of seeking their advice when he ought. Also he knows when to act on his own initiative. Finally, he is a man you can listen to, taking stock in whatever he says. You are sure that he speaks only after due reflection. He does not talk to the galleries or for the purpose of grinding his own ax. He makes his own suggestions and pleads his cause solely in the interest of the business. Such a man is safe. Important duties may be intrusted to him and he will handle them with diligence, good sense and earnestness. If you are looking for the quickest route to opportunity, learn to be thi type of man. “Trying to Save Children Lest Russia Go Completely to the Devil” ~ By REV. F. F. KOMLOSY, Russian Patriot We have a school at Tuzla, Anatolia, near Constantinople, which is being enlarged as rapidly as circumstances will permit. The course of study is patterned as much as possible after the English school system, although the teaching is done by a number of highly educated Russians under English supervision. Our pupils number at present about 200. ‘They have been separated from their parents, and half of them have no idea where their parents are living at present. This may scen harsh until you understand the conditions that are existing among the Russians. Morally, Russia is dead. Mentally, she has fallen into decay. ‘The condition of the present adult generation is so appal- ling that parents are scarcely fit to have charge of their own children. The gap in the children’s lives is becoming wider every day and con- sequently harder to bridge over. ‘The result is everywhere so apparent that it is a matter of urgency to save the coming generation, lest Russia go com- pletely to the devil. “Taxation Is Increasing Much More Rapidly Than Wealth Itself” By FRANK 0. LOWDEN, Former Governor of Illinois Wise eke LL eS ee Taxation, in the United States, is increasing much more rapidly than wealth itself is increasing. One prolific cause of rapidly increasing cost of government is to be found in the number of public agencies that have authority to levy taxes. We have the federal government, the state government, the muni- cipal government, and the school districts all of which can levy taxes independently. And when the limit of the bonding power has been reached, the tendency is to create some other body with authority to levy taxes. This means that the number of persons who are obtaining their livings from the public treasury is continually growing and if the pro- portion of public employees continue, to increase as rapidly as it has in late years we will, within a reasonable time witness this phenomenon: our population divided into two classes, those holding public office, still ‘a minority, it is true, and all others working to support the minority in office. “Young Man Who Settles on Homestead Claim 100 Per Cent American” By WILLIAM SPRY, U.

EVERY colored man and woman in the United States who wants to see barbaric crime of mob murder wiped out in the United States should, as soon as it is announced that the Dyer anti-lynching bill is reported out and is before Congress, telegraph at once to his or her representative asking his support for the bill. Never before has an anti-lynching bill advanced so far as this one. Largely through the efforts of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose representatives have appeared at hearings in Washington and conducted correspondence with senators and representatives, there is every prospect that it colored people unite, the bill may become law. This will put the entire power of the federal government behind prosecution of mobists and lynchers. It is now or never, for if the present bill is not enacted, such legislation will be set back for years to come. It is, therefore, not too much to urge that every colored American citizen spend fifty cents or a dollar in telegraphing to Washington in support of this most important measure. It is now up to the colored Americans themselves. If they want this measure to pass, it is in their power to have it. If they fail to take united and nation-wide action, the responsibility for the failure will rest squarely upon their shoulders. Here is a concrete opportunity for all of us—churches, fraternal orders, all organizations and individuals—to get together and work as one unit, ten million strong. We shall keep our readers informed and shall announce the moment for action. MAYOR BAILEY AND THE KU KLUX KLAN. LE Dewey C. Bailey has nearly two years more to head of this city, and during that time he has all that the office requires. It is not his purpose, the powers of his high office to any sect or class: For weeks there have been faint but perceptible a series of lawless outbreaks by the Klan in men those who made boast that the Klan was not ready to give violent evidence of their existence. The use of a ????? of lawless outbreaks by the Klan is the whole country.

Mayor Bailey orders Klan's activities in this city, with the result that attended by Frank M. Downer, manager of safety, H. R. Williams and other officials, was held in conference, Mayor Bailey gave it out plainly than Klan or similar organization would be permitted to stand in this will be applauded by all citizens of Americanism. There is not now, nor never a resistance of such an organization. This is a court. There is no call or necessity for an invisible or no function as a government. The most dastardly, a free people is for a set of men or an organization in a boasted claim of upholding law and orally defeated by the means. That immoral care, or crime banished by criminality, or law punished by lawlessness is positively unthinkable. Many people to preside over our chosen form of government by every safe-guard essential to promote the high moment. When the time comes for an inner circle, our city affairs, the time has come when administration is a failure. Mayor Bailey may be sure to fulfilled support of all good citizens in the stand, there will be no relaxation in the effort to crush the iron heel of lawfully constituted authority. We only follow the lead of our courageous mayor of New York, it will soon be patent that America and for the species known as the Ku Klux Klan. HONORABLE Dewey C. Bailey has nearly two years more to serve as executive head of this city, and during that time he intends to be mayor in all that the office requires. It is not his purpose to abdicate or surrender the powers of his high office to any sect or class. Let us present the proof: For weeks there have been faint but persistent rumors about the time of a series of lawless outbreaks by the Klan in Texas, which there have been those who made boast that the Klan was fully organized and stood ready to give violent evidence of their existence. This came out about the time of a ????? of lawless outbreaks by the Klan in Texas, which visibly aroused the whole country. With the Denver papers carrying advertisements of the Klan's organization in this city and a covert attempt at intimidation by pseudo parade, on some of the principal streets, the city authorities deemed the time ripe for action. Mayor Bailey ordered an investigation of the Klan's activities in this city, with the result that on Monday a conference, attended by Frank M. Downer, manager of safety and excise; Chief of Police H. R. Williams and other officials, was held in city hall. Following this conference, Mayor Bailey gave it out plainly that no branch of the Ku Klux Klan or similar organization would be permitted in Denver. His positive stand in this will be applauded by all citizens possessing the true elements of Americanism. There is not now, nor never has been a reason for the existence of such an organization. This is a country of orderly government. There is no call or necessity for an invisible or imperial element seeking to function as a government. The most dastardly travesty ever fostered upon a free people is for a set of men or an organization resorting to lawless acts in a boasted claim of upholding law and order. The end sought is wholly defeated by the means. That immorality can be wiped out by the immoral, or crime banished by criminality, or law purified and rendered efficacious by lawlessness is positively unthinkable. Mayor Bailey was selected by the people to preside over our chosen form of government. He is surrounded by every safe-guard essential to promote the highest efficiency in good government. When the time comes for an inner circle or secret klan to aid in running our city affairs, the time has come when all must confess that our government is a failure. Mayor Bailey may be sure that he has the full and unqualified support of all good citizens in the stand he has taken, and we trust there will be no relaxation in the effort to crush the serpents head beneath the iron heel of lawfully constituted authority. If other communities will only follow the lead of our courageous mayor, and that of Mayor Hylan of New York, it will soon be patent that American soil is poor breeding ground for the species known as the Ku Klux Klan. THE MINISTRY OF OUTDOORS the man who, in these midsummer days, can the noise and heat of the city, and find comfort under the ministry of outdoors—the outdoors as per mood of friendliness. no denying the healing power of that ministry's cares. Life in the cliffs and canons of the m HAPPY is the man who, in these midsummer days, can escape for a while the noise and heat of the city, and find comfort for body and soul under the ministry of outdoors—the outdoors as Nature orders it when in her mood of friendliness. There is no denying the healing power of that ministry or the craving of men for its caress. Life in the cliffs and canons of the modern metropolis is not lived without friction, and we sustain the wearing process on mind and nerve only by a constant labor of adjustment—a labor which brings a very real weariness to increase the weariness of conscious effort. The eye cannot rest. It is challenged by appeals at short range, glaring, angular and unbeautiful; by a moving picture of commercial "close-ups." The ear is assailed by a cacophony of traffic noises. Through both, the mind must register multitudinous impressions, a clamorous variety, conflicting and discordant. The body, on foot, threads its way through throngs which obstruct and oppose. It rubs and bumps and avoids serious collision only by a continual side-stepping. By evening we are conscious that there are too many sights, too many sounds, too many things, too many people, and we turn our steps toward wider and less peopled spaces with a sense of relief. Trolley or train or car cannot carry us too swiftly beyond the tumult. Happy, we repeat, the man who can escape to suburban home, or links, or open road; happy the man who can tear two weeks or longer from his working calendar and lose them in the oblivion of some remote outdoors. God has put healing in the fields and woods. He rests the eyes through the great stretches of landscape or sky-horizoned waters. He rests the ears with the music of wind and moving in the trees he rests mind and nerves with harmony of sound and vision, with the balm of solitude and silence, broken only by companionships we love. He rests them with space—space in which are neither crowded nor hurried, driven nor obstructed. Those of you who are privileged to enjoy the ministry of outdoors, the re-creating influence of space and solitude and silence, should count it among the greatest of your blessings. It makes life tolerable. It makes you a possible person with whom to live. It gives you some chance to know your soul, to find God. If you miss this chance, the guilt of squandered opportunities lies heavily upon you. The above beautiful and apt editorial, appearing in the columns of the Rocky Mountain News last Sunday, was a happy follow-up of the editorial in the Colorado Statesman of Saturday on "Leisure Hours." And we repeat that Nature requires a lull, a season breaking away as it were from daily strife. One of valued institutions of our present day civilization is the vacation season. And indeed, it has only been in very recent years that it has come into general use. It is the truce in the warfare of existence, the signed armistice between labor and toll. Man is better, nobler and higher in mind and purpose wherein he avails himself fully of the ministry of outdoor life. SLIGHTS LORD NORTHCLIFFE BRITISH EMBASSY WITHDRAWS INVITATION TO DINNER, IS REPORT. METHODS USED IN INDIA BY FOREIGN SECRETARY ADOPT- ED IN WASHINGTON. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington.—Lord Northheliffe, the British publisher, now in the United States, in a statement issued here, said that "for reasons of which he is not aware," invitations extended him to attend a dinner there had been withdrawn. "Knowing the methods in India of Lord Curzon, the British foreign secretary," the statement declared, "Lord Northheliffe is pretty certain that Lord Curzon has adopted those methods here." The British publisher's statement conveyed the impression that the matter involved in the reported cancellation of invitations was an outgrowth of the controversy between Lord Northheliffe and Lord Curzon. Soon after President Harding made his overtures for a disarmament conference, the London Times, leading paper published by Northcliffe, opposed the suggestion that Lord Curzon be appointed one of the British delegates to the proposed conference and attacked both the foreign secretary and Premier Lloyd George. This attack was followed by suspension of privilege rights enjoyed for years by the London Times, a Northcliffe paper, in the obtaining of news from the British foreign office. Lord Northcliffe issued his statement after questions had been asked him concerning rumors that invitations extended him by the embassy had been withdrawn on instructions from London. The only comment obtainable from the embassy was that the reports were "inaccurate." It was established, however, that Lord Northcliffe had gone to a local hotel on his arrival here from New York. He visited the White House and spent an hour and twenty minutes with President Harding, discussing, as the visitor said, "newspapers." Failure of Sir Auckland Geddes, British ambassador, to accompany the publisher was not considered significant in that Lord Northcliffe on arriving in this country stressed that he was not here in an official capacity. Forest Fire Wipes Out Town. Sydney, N. S.—Sweeping down the coast with the impetus of a fresh southwestern breeze, a gigantic forest fire wiped out New Haven, a hamlet of 500 population, and for several hours menaced with destruction north of here. Fleeing before the flames, 400 New Haven residents sought refuge in the woods on the opposite side of the town. The flames set these on fire, however, and they were forced to flee again, after suffering intensely from smoke. It is believed that all escaped safely. Uses Ladder for Pulpit. Chicago.—With a ladder for a pulpit and the heart of the financial district for a church, Bishop Fallows and the Rev. H. A. Johnston preached sermons to crowds of office workers, bank presidents, brokers and messenger boys. The two churchmen took turns on the ladder, which rested against an office building in opening a drive to obtain 50,000 new members of Chicago churches by Easter. Germany Owes U. S. $240,744,511. Washington.—Germany owed the United States up to April 30 last, $240,744,511 for maintenance of American troops on the Rhine. Secretary Weeks sent the figures to the Senate in answer to a resolution by Senator Borah, Republican, Idaho. The total cost of the American occupation forces Dec. 18, 1918, to April 30, the last date for which accounts were available, was placed at $275,324,192. There now are 500 officers, 13,241 enlisted men and 54 nurses in German territory, Secretary Weeks stated. Ask for $16,400,000 Relief. Washington. — Additional expenditure of $16,400,000 for hospitalization of former service men, making an annual outlay of $35,000,000 for that purpose, and a re-examination of all of them were propositions laid before the Senate committee investigating soldier relief. The new program for hospital building is being worked out by Dr W. C. White, chairman, and members of the treasury board of consultants on hospitalization. Dying Man Accuses Brother. Detroit, Mich.—Accused by his dying brother of having made him a living torch, George Schmensky, 58, is being held by police here charged with murder. Herman Schmensky, 60, the brother, died in receiving hospital from the burns. According to an alleged dying statement made by Herman, the brothers engaged in a quarrel over money matters, and George, in a fit of temper, poured turpentine over him and touched a match to his soaked clothing.

REPUBLICANS REORGANIZE MACHINERY IN GEORGIA. NEW COMMITTEE FORMED. Atlanta, Ga., July 26.—Under the auspices of the Republican national committee, the machinery of the Republican party in Georgia was reorganized today and 200 delegates attending a special convention pledged themselves in resolutions adopted to "dedicate our best efforts to the maintenance of the Republican party in Georgia on such a high plane as to command the confidence of the entire party and to demand the respect of all." A new state central committee, composed of forty whites and ten Negroes, was elected with its chairman, J. L. Phillips of Thomasville, wealthy lumber manufacturer, who has heretofore taken but little part in state Republican affairs. The practical placing of the party's affairs under white control drew fire from several directions. Talk of the possible resignation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Negro national committeeman from Georgia, followed the change to white control of the committee, but nothing official was announced. Jud Tunkins says the genuine optimist is recognized by his cheerfulness at work and not by the exuberance of his recreation. August 4, promenade and Elks' Frolic, Denver Auditorium. Mesdames E. M.

Mrs. Hickman is employed in the Denver postoffice and is going away on a well earned vacation. She will be gone about a month. Rev. D. E. Johnson, D.D., of Springfield, Ill., arrived in Denver on Tuesday night. Dr. Johnson is spending his vacation in Colorado. We are glad to welcome him to his old home. Old citizens will remember Dr. Johnson as the first priest in charge of the Church of the Redeemer. The church was built during his pastorate. He will take the 7 a. m. and the 11 a. m. service on Sunday. E. V. Cammel, grand master of Colorado jurisdiction; John Adams of Puccoli, grand attorney; Mrs. E. V.

He will leave next week for his home, from whence he will go to Los Angeles to join his wife, who is sojourning on the beach. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias of Colorado and jurisdiction are holding their annual sessions in Denver this week. The Pythians have grown greatly in numerical strength and financial power in the last few years. It will be necessary at this session to elect a successor to the late Grand Chancellor Chas. S. Muse, who passed away last winter. Rumor has it that a prominent Denver man is slated. The Colorado Statesman welcomes the Pythians to our city. THE DENVER GREY BOOK, a complete directory of the Negro citizens and business men and women, made its appearance this week. The author and compiler is G. Leonard White, a brilliant young man of the race, who has been in our city for some years. It is the first work of its character ever offered to the public and is a highly pretentious production. For completeness in detail, subject matter covered and neatness in arrangement, it will take high rank as a distinct work of art. Every Negro in Denver is listed, churches, lodges and societies enumerated as well as many of the beauty spots of the city correctly portrayed. Moreover, there is a commendable liberality on the part of the advertising public, both white and colored apparent, thus sustaining the contention that merit and ability, backed by proper ambition, will win. The "Grey Book" should be in every Negro home. It is a valuable contribution to our substantiality as citizens. The Colorado Statesman believes that this first effort on the part of Mr. White will call for another and another until it becomes one of the fixed institutions of Denver. ELKS' PROMENADE AND FROLIC. The greatest event of the season will be held at City Auditorium Thursday, August 4, when Morrison's full orchestra and the Rocky Mountain Song-bird will offer a program unsurpassed in Denver. See the Elks' March at 11 p. m. BON VIVIANT OUTING. The Bon Viviant Club, the West's most noted and exclusive social club, gave their annual outing last Sunday at beautiful Tyner Lake in Boulder valley. With an ideal day, and an ideal location, the setting was perfect for one of the most enjoyable parties ever held in this region. Exactly sixty-two jolly picnickers gathered at the store of Howard and Howard early Sunday morning for the outing. A welcome innovation came in the fact the larger group were photographed by a race man, Mr. Paul Caldwell, who, by the way, has opened a studio at Five Points. With a train of fourteen autos, the party wended over hill and down through valley to the picturesque spot selected for the outing. At noon a sumptuous spread, resembling a feast, took place, and the appetites were equal to the obligation imposed. The day was spent in fishing, swimming, athletic sports and baseball. Attorney S. E. Cary easily coped all the prizes in the athletics, with Leonard Todd second, Robt. Mitchell third. Mrs. Jessie Roy proved too fleet on foot for her fair competitors and for the second time in succession, came out first in all events. The baseball game was a scream. Dr. Huff, noted spit-ball artist, and Claude Robinson, the Walter Johnson of Park Hill, were the opposing pitchers. Wesley Frierson performed a la "Babe Ruth," while Mrs. Allen of Chicago showed big league talent all through the game. Tom Edwards was the umpire and allowed no one to dispute his decisions. Among the out-of-town guests were Mrs. Thos. H. Allen, Mrs. Gertrude Jackson, Mrs. Bertha Brown and Mr. Brent of Chicago, Miss Frazier and Mrs. Chambers of Mississippi, and a Miss Brown of Leavenworth, Kan. CHURCH OF THE REDEEMER.

Are YOU such a man? Are you growing in public esteem through the practice of thrift? Is your saving systematic, or is it slip-shod? Does a certain fixed portion of your income go into sound investments each month? Or do you buy everything your heart desires, THEN think of saving and investing? The average man doesn't see clearly enough the connection between the ten-dollar bill that he might save today and the thousand-dollar bill that he will own later if he does save. In other words, they want to become wealthy without passing through the intermediate stages of saving and investing. And that's where they make their fatal mistake. IT CAN'T BE DONE. The purpose of the Bond and Mortgage Company is selling bonds on the "Partial payment plan," is to help you get a thousand dollars cash by a safe method fair to all concerned. Charles S.

Mr. Townsend has had charge of the boys at the Daily Vacation Bible school which has been in progress at the Peoples Presbyterian church during the past two weeks. He has also assisted in other ways. His work is very highly praised by the authorities. Secretary Bell was at the Grace Community M. E. church last Sunday evening, speaking first before the young people of the Epworth League on certain phases of our work here, and at the main evening service at 7:45 o'clock on "The American Race Problem." In spite of the hot weather the boys are having their usual summer pleasures. Baseball is played about three times a week, between our boys and "Bubber" Anderson's team. They have great sport—sweating and playing. Glen Stewart, who, with his charming mother, is visiting the city again for the first time in five years, calls by quite frequently to see us. He is the third best checker player in the Indianapolis association, and one of the best tennis players. He belongs to our first set of boys, and is a delightful young man. An out-door reception will be given to all mothers up to two and a half years old next Wednesday afternoon, August 3rd, from 3 to 5 o'clock. This reception is given as a token of our respect for motherhood. A committee will be on hand to receive and entertain them. All mothers are expected to bring their babies with them. RICHARD KIRKNORD DEPRIEST LAID TO REST. The funeral services of our friend and brother, Richard Kirknord DePriest, were held from his late residence, 2516 Lafayette street, last Tuesday at 2 p. m., and a large gathering of persons of both races attended to pay their last respects to a man who did well and played his part, the same meriting commendation in the community. The Methodist form of service was used and conducted by the Rev. W. H. Thomas of the Shorter A. M. E. Church, who, in an address that sent consolation to the hearts of relatives and friends, and dried the window's tears, reminding of the debt all men must pay sooner or later, proved himself a man fitted specially for the Christian miniorty. Familiar songs and hymns, the favorite of the deceased, were played on the Victrola by request, and remarks on the life of the deceased were made by the Rev. Copwood of the Seventh Day Adventist Church. The palbearers, selected from among leading citizens, who were personal friends of the deceased, were William Sprague, Jos. D. D. Rivers, David Mayo and Willis Evans. The floral offerings were rare and beautiful, some coming from the firms where Mr. DePriest was employed. Resolutions from the Denver Colored Civic Association were read by Mr. T. K. Price. The remains were interred at Riverside cemetery, under the direction of the Douglass Undertaking Company. RESOLUTION OF THE DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION. On the Death of Richard Kirknord DePriest, a Faithful Member and Foundationer. Whereas, in the inscrutable wisdom of Almighty God, our friend and brother, Richard Kirknord DePriest, has been summoned from this time to eternity's to answer the roll call to which all mankind must respond, and. Whereas, on Monday the 18th day of July, 1021, our deceased brother passed into the Great Beyond in answer to his call; be it Resolved, That in bowing to the will of our Creator, we give Him thanks for having spared unto us the life of our deceased friend for the period of over half a century, and in providing his home with such a beautiful character as father and friend for several years; also the Denver Colored Civic Association with a taunch, faithful worker, we cannot fail to offer praise for such blessings even in this hour of our bereavement. Quiet and unassuming as were the tendencies of our deceased brother, yet his loss to this community will be felt by high and low, rich and poor, old and young, for his ability in the performance of his duty in his sphere of labor as well as his good counsels and suggestions, especially in the capacity of chairman of the decoration committee of the above association. In offering our sincere and heartfelt sympathy to his bereaved widow, son and sorrowing relatives, in a sentence we express: "He was a useful man in all his relations of life," and therefore in commending them to the consolation of the Arch-Consoleer, we utter: "He is gone to that reward that must come to all just men who have lived in the sphere and love of God and in the high service of humanity. Of him we can say: No room was left for hope or fear, Of more or less; so high, so great His growth was, yet so safe his seat Safe in the circle of his friends; Safe in his loyal heart and ends; Safe in his native, valiant spirit; By favor safe, and safe by merit. Be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to the family of the deceased, one to be spread on the minutes of the Denver Colored Civic Association, and one to the press. T. K.

Annual Monte Vista Stampede at Mono Vista, Aug. 3, 4. 5. Morgan County Fair, Fort Morgan, Aug. 24-26; W. J. Ott, secretary. Harry Cutlin of South Cañon City by mistake poured some carbolic acid into his eye, thinking it was an eye lotion. The sight of the eye is believed destroyed. Mrs. A. G. Rowe, 35 years old, of Denver, was instantly killed, her husband received injuries which may result fatally, and her two children were slightly hurt in an automobile accident near Arvada recently. The Great Western railroad handled 8,000 carloads of beets during the last season and switched as many more for other roads to the various factories in northern Colorado, according to C. E. Angove, superintendent of the road. Fire destroyed an auto truck, a storage barn and some hay belonging to Toliver & Kinney at Fort Collins, causing a loss estimated at about $1,500 or more. The fire had got well started before it was discovered, and could not be extinguished. Mrs. Ernest Giesecke of Honolulu is dend, and Miss Bertha Giesecke, Ernest Giesecke and Mr. and Mrs. Albert Giesecke were seriously injured as the result of a waterspout that swept away their automobile on Wolf Creek pass, near Del Norte. An army of workmen is now employed rehabilitating the grounds, improving the grand stands, repairing the track and erecting inclosures preparatory to the third annual stampede, which will be held at Monte Vista August 3, 4 and 5. The 10-year-old girl found murdered by drowning near Eno, Adams county, was Helen Maxine Short, daughter of Mrs. Thelma Hill, a barber, employed in Denver. This is the bare statement of the latest development in probably the most brutal murder case Adams county police annuals show. Frank Allen, Jr., son of a Farmington, N. M., hotel proprietor, is in the hospital at Durango with a fractured skull received when he was hit in the back of the head with a stone thrown presumably by a young man with whom he had had trouble while both were attending a dance at Kirtland, N. M. Neil Gaurley, 17 years old, a high school girl of Arriba, Colo., was drowned and three other girls narrowly escaped death while the four were swimming in a big irrigation reservoir one mile south of Flagler. They had gone to the inke with three companions, including two men, and had been in the water only a few minutes when the tragedy occurred. Denver is to have the general offices of the operating company of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad, it is stated in articles of incorporation granted by the state of Delaware recently. A copy of the articles have been filed with Secretary of State Miltiken. Although the chief place of business of the operating company will be Wilmington, Del., the general offices will be opened in Denver. Benjamin Wilfong, 50 years old, a homesteader living with his wife seventeen miles south of Las Animas, is in the county jail at Las Animas, charged with the killing of John J. Keelon, a neighbor, about the same age, over a boundary line fence through a tract of pasture land. After the killing, which took place in Wilfong's yard, Wilfong telephoned to Sheriff Thaxson that he was willing to surrender. Accused of using improper methods and veterinary instruments in the treatment of tuberculosis. Dr. L. B. Overfelt of Boulder has suffered loss of his license, revoked by the Colorado State Board of Medical Examiners. Gunnison and Montrose counties have joined in the establishment of a splendid tourist park right in the midst of the mountains at the Halfway house, which is half way between Montrose and Gunnison on the Blue mountains. Two hundred and forty acres have been purchased jointly by the two counties for a magnificent park which will be thrown open to the tourists of the world who travel over this scenic road. The decision of the child welfare board of Pueblo, to use the $3,000 donated by Cañon City people by popular subscription for the relief of flood sufferers, for the establishment of summer children's camp in the mountains near Rye, meets with the approval of Cañon City people. It is understood that this sum will be used as a nucleus for the establishment of a permanent camp where helpless children may be given a summer outing and be restored to health and strength. Victor, Colo., must raise $38,000 by September 1 by means of an immediate tax levy, or show cause on that date why it did not do so. The First National Bank of Ithaca, N. Y., caused a writ of mandamus to be issued against George Bromley, Mayor, J. E. Riley, John J. Henkins and Edward Olson, members of the City Council, and Blanche Corbitt, Treasurer, by the federal judge of the United States District Court. The bank claims the above amount now due because Victor has failed to pay either the interest or principal, it is alleged. A field man for the county assessor has completed the reassessing of four townships along the Platte river in the southwest part of Weld county and turns in figures showing a loss of $184,500 to property along twelve miles of the course of the river. One thousand acres of land is darned for a total of $117,500. On this land a property loss of $67,000 is given, including a total loss of 350 acres of beets, $35,000; 50 acres of cabbage, $10,000; 200 acres of wheat, $8,000; 200 acres of corn, $10,000; 100 acres of oats, $2,500. Another chapter in the efforts of heirs of A. J. Mucky, Boulder banker, to deprive the University of Colorado of its full share of the estate as residuary legatee was written in the County Court by Judge E. J. Ingram. His decision sustained all three contentions of the board of regents and as a result the university will profit by some $20,000. The suit involved the real estate holdings of Mr. Mackey, which were not mentioned in his will, which disposed of some $400,000 in stocks and bonds. Colorado Springs doesn't intend that it shall be known as a heaven on earth, though its streets are to be paved gold. This gold will be poured into cement mixtures and used to finish a $100,000 paving job. The rock which will be used to make the paving is to come from the dump of the old Vindicator mine at Cripple Creek. In this dump, according to reports made by mining engineers and assayors, may be found thousands of dollars worth of pure gold. John Morgan, 9-year-old son of Frank Morgan, a sheepman, was instantly killed on Barlow creek, ten miles north of Rico, when he was caught by a rock slide. His head was crushed and his body badly bruised. Members of the family and friends from the Morgan sheep camp on Lizard Head were spending the day fishing and piening. The children were rolling rocks down the mountain when the rock slide caught young Morgan. Mrs. Alvrettie Miller has been arrested at Fort Collins on the charge of being accessory before the fact in a burglarizing of several cabins in the Big Thompson canon last winter, following the report of the jury in the district court convicting her two sons, J. R. Miller and George Miller, of burglary on the charge of stealing various articles from the cabins. The court granted the brothers fifteen days in which to file a motion for a new trial. Owing to the inability of the members of Greenwood Post, G. A. R., to climb the stairs to their old meeting quarters in the Odd Fellows' building at Canon City, the county commissioners have given them a room on the first floor of the courthouse opposite that of the county superintendent of schools for their use in holding their meetings. Since the first of the year Greenwood Post has decreased in numbers from forty-five to thirty-seven. Fully 10,000 trade unionists are expected to march in Denver's annual Labor Day parade, Monday, September 5, members of the joint Labor Day committee of the Denver Trades and Labor Assembly and the Building Trades Council said yesterday. Far more than this number will gather in the afternoon and evening, they predict, for the picnic which the organized labor bodies of the city will promote at Lakeside. Troop headquarters of the Colorado rangers have been transferred from Pueblo to Denver, and in the future all reports made by the state officers will be sent there, according to announcement made by Col. Patrick Hamrock, superintendent of the ranger force. The last of the great plains cattle herds is to pass into the realm of memory when Bill Shanahan, George Baxter and Vern Simpson move their herds from the Seibert country to homestands which they will take near Meeker, Colo. One of the finest mountain parks in the state will soon be the property of the city of Fort Collins as the result of action taken by the City Council in approving application to the forestry bureau for a park site a mile and a half above the junction of the Little South Fork with the Pondre river. According to city commissioners, the site is the prettiest piece of canon scenery up the river. Twelve small experimental fields of hubam, or annual white sweet clover, are growing in Saguache county this year. This is a new crop for this valley, and the experimental fields were planted under the direction of the Saguache county farm bureau. This crop is very scarce in the United States, and last year the seed sold for $16 a pound. Five Golden telephone girls have been made members of the Golden fire department as a result of the installation of an automatic fire alarm system by the city. Under the new order the telephone operators, by an automatic device, will cause the alarm to be sounded on a huge bell at the central fire station whenever a fire is reported. Seven hundred pounds of fossils have been received at the university museum at Boulder from various parts of Wyoming, where Prof. Junius Henderson, curator, is spending the summer. There are many duplicates in the collection, which will be traded for other specimens. Schools are to start in Longmont September 6, a week earlier than usual, due to a change in dates of the county fair. The latter is not to be held till September 13-16. Longmont boys and girls will be given a day off to attend the fair. These Certificates are good for Community Silverware, or may be exchanged for cash at the Globe National Bank of Denver.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Many families during the war formed the habit of having two or three fish days a week and some of them have kept it up ever since. Many others, if they tried it, would find that the use of more fish adds pleasant variety to the meals. America has as good a fish supply as any country in the world, say food specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, but Americans eat less fish than the people of many other countries. For instance, in England an average of 65 pounds of fish yearly for each person is eaten, while here the average is only 18 pounds. Broiled Fish.—Broiling over coals or under the gas flame until brown is a favorite way of preparing the smaller fish. Fresh fish of one to two pound size, or smoked fish, such as finna haddie or white fish, are delicious served in this way. Wash the fish, split, season, dot with fat, place on a greased broiler and broil until the flakes can be easily aerated. If a gas broiler is used, place the rack several inches below the fiam and brown. Sliced lemon makes an a tractive garnish and gives additional flavor and food value. Boiled Fish.—Boiled fish is easily prepared and, when served with All told, there are said to be about 100 kinds of edible fish available in the United States, but most persons are familiar with not more than a dozen. It is a good plan to try new kinds of fish whenever there is an opportunity and, if they are not available in the local market, to suggest to the fishman that he add them to his supply. Also, if fresh fish cannot be obtained, many kinds of salt, smoked and canned fish can be shipped anywhere at any season of the year. How to Select a Fresh Fish. Whenever possible, it is best to go to the market and select fish. A fresh fish has full, bright eyes, bright red gills, firm flesh and a fresh odor. The flesh along the backbone should be examined with special care, because that is where a fish spoils first. Frozen fish should be bought in that condition and thawed in a cool place just before cooking. Much of the prejudice against frozen fish has come from the fact that it was thawed out some time before it was sold. Fish does not change in flavor and food value so long as it remains frozen, but it spoils very quickly after it is thawed. EGGS QUITE USEFUL FOOD FOR CHILDREN EGGS QUITE USEFUL FOOD FOR CHILDREN If Overcooked They Are Likely to Cause Indigestion. Best Ways of Serving Them for Young People Are Poached, Soft Boiled or Coddled—They May Be Scrambled for Change. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) ment of Agriculture Eggs are especially useful food for young children. The chief point to remember in preparing them for children is that they must not be overcooked for such are likely to cause indigestion, say food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. Every one knows how the heat of cooking hardens the egg, and it is easy to understand why the digestive juices might have difficulty in penetrating such hard substance as the white of a hard-boiled egg. Overcooked yolks are also thought to be hard to digest. However, when eggs are cooked in the shell, the heat reaches the white before it does the yolk, and there is more danger of the white being overcooked than of the yolk. The best ways of serving eggs for children are poached, soft boiled, or coddled, though they may be scrambled for a change if one is careful not to scorch the fat used nor to overcook the egg. Many means have been suggested for cooking eggs in such a way that the yolks will be cooked and the whites will not be overcooked. One of the most satisfactory is by coddling, which is done as follows: Allow a cupful of water to each egg, bring the water to the boiling point, remove it from the fire, put in the eggs, cover the dish closely, and leave the eggs in the water for about seven minutes. There is some uncertainty about this method, for eggs differ in weight and also in temperature at the time the cooking begins. On the whole this method can be more depended upon than others. Good results can be obtained by pouring hot water over eggs, if the same dish with the same amount of water is always used, but each cook must make her own rules. Pastry should be rolled lightly that the air may not be pressed out of it. Broiled Fish.—Broiling over coals or under the gas flame until brown is a favorite way of preparing the smaller fish. Fresh fish of one to two pounds size, or smoked fish, such as finnan handle or white fish, are delicious served in this way. Wash the fish, split, season, dot with fat, place on a greased broiler and broil until the flakes can be easily separated. If a gas broiler is used, place the rack several inches below the flame and brown. Sliced lemon makes an attractive garnish and gives additional flavor and food value. Boiled Fish.—Boiled fish is easily prepared and, when served with a well-seasoned sauce, is delicious. Cook whole or, if too long, cut in pieces. Cover with boiling salted water, but do not allow it to boil rapidly, as hard boiling breaks the fish. Cook for ten minutes per pound. Strong-flavored fish, such as carp, is improved by adding a half cupful of vinegar to the cooking water. Baked Fish.—Use the whole fish or a piece from the middle of a large one. If desired, stuff with mashed potatoes, cooked rice, or bread crumbs well seasoned. Cut gashes down the back and insert strips of salt pork or dot with fat. Dredge with fine corn meal or flour, place in a baking pan and cook till tender, allowing ten to twelve minutes a pound. Sometimes fish is baked in a tomato sauce or in milk enough to cover the bottom of the pan. Fried Fish.—Small fish may be fried whole; larger ones should be cut into pieces suitable for serving. Roll the fish in corn meal or flour, or dip it in batter, or in bread crumbs, egg, and again in crumbs. Fry in deep fat, or in a small amount of fat in a skillet. Fish fried in deep fat is less likely to be greasy than when fried in a pan. RICE-STUFFED STEAK LIKED It Is Good Eating and Possesses Additional Advantage of Extending Small Amount. Stuffed steak is good eating, and possesses the additional advantage of extending a small amount of meat. The following recipe for this dish is recommended by the food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture: 1 pound round 2 tablespoonful steak. chopped parsley. 2 conufuls boiled 1 teaspoonful onion rice. juice. Salt. Paprika. Blend the rice with the seasoning. Pound the steak until thin. Spread the steak with a layer of the rice stuffing about three-quarters inch thick. Roll and tie in shape or fasten with skewers. Put in a covered pan with enough water to keep from burning and cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Take off the cover and brown before removing from the oven. Thicken the stock left in the pan for gravy. Or, if preferred, make individual servings. Cut a three-inch square of steak, place a tablespoonful of the dressing in the center, roll the steak around it, and fasten. Place it in a pan with a little water and cook as the roast was cooked. This steak is very good served with a tomato sauce. Household Questions Place a broom on its handle end when not in use. Before cleaning a radiator put dampened newspapers under radiator to catch dust. The general proportion for gelatin is one ounce of gelatin to a quart of liquid. Fish can be scaled easily if put into boiling water for a minute before sealing. Pieces of oilcloth pasted on the bottom of tin bread boxes will prevent them from rusting. * * * When sewing always thread needle before cutting the cotton from the spool and make the knot at the freshly severed end.

Choose the loin chops and have them cut quite thick; remove the surplus fat and slash them from the edge in to the bone, mak- gaint and different. Choose the loin chops and have them cut quite thick; remove the surplus fat and slash them from the edge in to the bone, making a pocket to hold the stuffing. Make any desired stuffing, sprinkle the chops with salt and pepper and place them in a buttered pan to bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven. Make a gravy from the fat in the pan and serve with the chops. A mint sauce may be served also. Calf's Liver a la Begue.—Cut a pound of calf's liver into half-inch cubes, add two onions cut in slices, a dash of paprika, and a dozen stalks of parsley cut fine; cover and let stand a half hour; shake the liver from the onions, roll in flour and fry in a basket in deep fat. Sweetbreads a la Newburg.—Parboll a pair of sweetbreads half an hour with two bay leaves. Drain, cool, remove the membranes and cut in small ice. Chop fine one cupful of fresh mushrooms. Heat a cupful of thick cream in a double boiler; add the sweetbreads and mushrooms. Beat three egg yolks, add salt, paprika and two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, one tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce and stir into the cream. Serve hot in ramekins. Fricassese of Veal.-Cut a slice of veal in serving sized pieces—a cut from the leg. Pound each piece to reduce the thickness, roll in flour and fry in salt pork fat until brown on both sides. Remove to a casserole, pour broth or hot water over the meat; the broth is made by rinsing out the frying pan with hot water. Add salt and pepper and cook covered an hour or longer. Carrots and other vegetables may be added if desired. Almond Salad.-Blanch and shred one-half cupful of almonds, add six olives stoned and chopped, one-half cupful of celery, one-half cupful of mayonnaise or a good boiled dressing. Serve on head lettuce. Our day is that of short cuts, labor saving devices and greater efficiency in all forms of labor.

When ideas seem scarce and one does not know what to serve, try some of these: Corn, California Style. —Mix a can of corn with chopped green pepper and one-half cupful of thick white sauce, well seasoned with salt. Turn into a buttered casserole and cover with strips of bacon. Bake Corn, California Style. —Mix a can of corn with chopped green pepper and one-half cupful of thick white sauce, well seasoned with salt. Turn into a buttered casserole and cover with strips of bacon. Bake in the oven until the bacon is cooked. Cabbage With Veal Balls.—Cut the center from a firm head of cabbage and boil the shell in a cloth to keep it from breaking; drain when tender and season well with salt and pepper. To the cabbage taken from the center, chop and add half as much minced veal, one chopped onion, one cupful of cooked rice and one-half cupful of butter, mix and form into balls, the size of a walnut, dip in egg and crumbs and fry in deep fat until brown. Serve the balls in the cabbage shell both steaming hot. Stuffed Rabbit.—Mix together a cupful of bread crumbs, two tablespoonfuls of chopped parsley, two tablespoonfuls of poultry dressing or any desired herbs, four tablespoonfuls of chopped suet, one teaspoonful of grated lemon rind, one egg and salt and pepper to taste. Add milk if more moisture is needed. Fill the well cleaned rabbit with this mixture and sew up carefully. Simmer for an hour or longer, according to the age or the rabbit. Serve with parsley and butter and serve buttered onions as a vegetable. Preserved Berries. — Currants, crushed, or any fruit which can be well mashed and mixed with an equal quantity of sugar, allowed to stand overnight in a cool place, or long enough to have the sugar thoroughly dissolved and mixed through the fruit, may be canned in cold sterile jars and sealed, keeping perfectly if kept in a cold cellar or in the bottom of the lee chest until cold weather comes on. Keep the jars from the light. Take a pint of whipped cream, add a cupful and a half of cream cheese, a cupful of walnut meats, and the same of dates. Serve in sherbet cups garnished with a cherry.

INTRIGUING US TO NEW STYLES IN EVENING GOWNS X of the silk underdress is round, with five narrow French folds forming a band about it. The lace overskirt is higher at the back than at the front, where there is no definition of the waist line, and a girdle of wooden beads emphasizes the classic lines of the dress. A very simple and modern rosette of satin ribbon is posed at the right side. One can imagine the elegance of this model in black lace and white silk, or in dyed lace over harmonizing colors. It is an ideal dinner gown, adapted to all sorts of evening wear. Its lines are flattering to all figures. HERE is a lovely evening gown, among the first to be presented with the stamp of the new season upon it. Its beauty is calculated to reconcile those who have questioned or opposed the edict of Paris which declares for long skirts this fall. But this gown, of American manufacture, reveals an excellent management of styles and materials—an understanding on the part of its designer that has resulted in a stately and altogether charming creation. The makers of suits and tailored dresses for street wear refuse to take the initiative in this matter of much-lengthened skirts—it is an occasion for self determination on the part of the American woman—and for the street she will, in all likelihood decree for herself the shoe-top length. The evening gown of black lace is the most useful of things in wardrobes that do not run to evening cloghes, because it can be varled by the accessories worn with it—the sashes, girdles, fans and jewelry—may be in one or another color. Cream colored or white lace has this advantage also. Dyed laces are to be reckoned with for those who must have a variety of dinner gowns, made up with always dependable satins or crepes. The foundation of the gown pictured is a crepe weave, high-tuster silk with drapery of Gulpure lace. The lace forms an overskirt and a graceful sort of mantle, ending in panels that are finished at the edges with a piping of silk. The bottom of the overskirt is also finished in this way. The neck PARIS OFFERS NEW IDEAS IN WRAPS FOR SUMMER THE FOLK FILM This season will be remembered as one of capes and capelike wraps. A cape of black satin lined with a lighter contrasting color is shown at the center of the picture. It has a scarf collar and long slits at the sides through which the arms may be thrust. For elegance and usefulness combined nothing excels a wrap of this kind. THREE names, world-renowned in the realms of fashion are signed to these three wraps for summer wear. It is easy to see at a glance that each of them is made to be a practical protection in climates that are not always genial, even in summer time, and that they embody styles that are not too fleeting. Paris has presented many wraps of many kinds this summer; the late arrivals among them foreshadowing a changed silhouette for fall. With all the instability of styles, transitions cannot be too abrupt and the wise French know it. The designer of the last wrap pictured must have cast a lingering and regretful glance backward—apparently he was lured by the long lines and casual adjustment of last winter's styles. This wrap is of smooth, beige-colored wool cloth with an emplacement of black satin, in a curious figure, at the bottom. An applique of the lighter cloth on the black ground makes an effective decoration. The very full collar is apparently a ruffle of the coat material lined with black satin. The graceful coat at the left can never be entirely out of style. It is made of light weight wool coating in tan color, with long semi-fitted body and moderately full skirt portion. The military collar, front facing and border at the bottom are of dark brown fur. The plain coat sleeves set snugly to the arms and are finished with a row of round, covered buttons on the forearm. The skirt of this coat is open at the front, disclosing the dress under it. Julia Bottomley DOUGLASS UNDERTAKING CO. INCORPORATED AND BONDED NOTARY PUBLIC FRANK S.
