SUBSCRIBE FOR THE ONLY RELIABLE PEOPLE'S PAPER IN COLORADO "THE COLORADO STATESMAN" THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY OPPORTUNITY AND LABOR (By JUDGE GARY.) "OPPORTUNITY" is a fascinating term in American life. The use of it at once attracts attention. All of us like to be told of the secret mysteries of its power and possibilities. So, when a master mind like Judge Elbert H. Gary, who represents gigantic business interests, and is himself an outstanding example of the full meaning of the word, when such a person speaks, the world listens. Added significance is given to the expressions when, in the midst of what is said for use in America every day life, the speaker throws in a multitude of vital opinions on the subject of Labor, on which he is an unquestioned authority, equal to that of the subject or Capital. The recent address of Judge Gary at Syracuse University is an unquestioned classic, under the general subject of "Opportunity." I am sure that many of you saw excerpts of it in the public print. I wish that every American might read every line of it. In fact, for the beauty of its easy and simple language, it might well be used in the literary course of the schools and colleges, along with Irving, Emerson and Holmes, to say nothing of the fine informative and inspirational thoughts. It is manifestly impossible to quote at length in an article of this kind, but I must give two or three quotations. Listen to this: "There is an expression, too frequently used, that the world owes each individual a living and occasionally it is foolishly sought to support the claim by citing the acknowledged principle that all men are created free and equal. But every fundamental law or rule of conduct relating to this subject means no more and no less than the right of equal protection and opportunity. Every person who constantly recognizes this fact and acts accordingly is of service and benefit to himself or herself and all others; and everyone who disputes and disregards it antagonizes and attacks the general community, including himself or herself, and is an obstruction to civilized progress." A little later is this: "The door of opportunity for legitimate advancement is opened to both capital and labor. Both should be grateful for the privilege. Neither should be permitted to abuse it." "Equality of opportunity is the keynote to national and individual success and contentment. This idea I believe is the avowed doctrine of our present administration, from the president throughout the whole governmental structure and will be intelligently and faithfully applied. Therefore, we have reason to look forward with confidence, expecting increasing prosperity in all directions as the months pass by." A lot of the address is replete with such fine optimistic statements and advice. To us, as a group in the great American nation, this address is fraught with significance. Much of our future destiny is largely wrapped up in the labor world, in the interests represented by Judge Gary. The attitude of mind if the head of a great organization like the United States Steel Corporation, is of great importance to us. Is this talk of opportunity merc- VOL. XXVII. A little later is this: ly lip service? I can faithfully attest that it is not. I have observed at close range the practical working out of the principles attested by Judge Gary. I have seen the wonderful welfare work of the steel industry near Birmingham, Ala., and at Gary, Ind., and other places. That this "Door of Opportunity" has been opened for our people in this field, none may question. There is much that we should know about these achievements, and what the future holds for us in this field. For the benefit of our people everywhere, and to give "honor to whom honor is due," I shall write an educational series of articles concerning labor and opportunities ahead in this great field. BISHOP FLIPPER INVESTIGATED ON WOMAN'S CHARGES Chicago, Ill., July 30. — Bishops Parks, Chappee and Fountain, as reported from here, have been appointed as a committee of the Bishops' Council of the African Methodist Episcopal church to investigate the charges made by Mrs. Candus M. Davis of Hawkinsville, Georgia, against Bishop Flipper. Mrs. Davis' charges are alleged to consist of the statement that while a married man with children, the bishop became her sweetheart, she being but sixteen years of age at the time. In an affidavit sworn to before Lewis E. Johnson, 31st and State streets, Chicago, Mrs. Davis alleges that she is a widow of five years standing, and that she met Flipper when he was forty-five years of age and head of the Morris Brown College. Further allegations are that the present bishop withheld from Mrs. Davis at that time the fact that he was married, and later became the father of her child. Mrs. Davis alleges in her affidavit that the bishop overcame her objection to the continuation of the love affair after she discovered that he was married, and told her he would get a divorce and marry her. For several years, it is stated, he made trips to her home. In 1910 she went to Little Rock and later to Muskogee, as charged, at his behest. In 1916 she lost confidence in the bishop's sincerity of purpose and intention to get a divorce and educate her, and married John H. Davis. The bishop, however, it is alleged, refused to leave her, and as a result her husband put her out of house and home. In receipt of competent support and her paramour, she did not take court action in the case. Again becoming pregnant in December, 1920, she wrote to the bishop but received no reply. Seeing him in May, 1921, at Macon, Georgia, she received $300 at one time, and $400 later through Rev. J. A. Hadley, according to her sworn statement. In Macon, she says, the bishop told her to meet him in Chicago in June, where he was expected to attend the Bishops' Council. Going to Chicago, the matter came to the attention of Attorney Lewis E. Johnson, who took an affidavit of the entire affair, covering four type-written pages—Washington Eagle.

Rev. Euson of Texas deliv a member of the white race and who BEFORE a large and appreciative crowd at Shorter Church, last Monday night, DEAN WILLIAM PICKENS, Field Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, delivered an address that will long live in the hearts of every person present. It was a masterpiece of logic, clear reasoning and wit. He carried his audience with him through varying stages of eloquence, pathos and humor for one hour, and many expressed deep regret that he did not continue for another hour. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and was a complete success. The full Shorter choir was on hand and opened the meeting by inspiringly singing "America." Rev. Euson of Texas delivered the invocation. Mr. James T. Smith, a member of the white race and who has been vice president of the Denver Branch ever since it was founded, was chosen to introduce Dean Pickens. A better selection could not have been made. Mr. Smith has been commendably zealous in his study of the problems with which the race is confronted, a confident advocate of equal opportunity and justice for all, and outspoken against the wrongs so commonly perpetrated against us. In his introduction of Mr. Pickens he took high ground and said elevation of the black race means elevation for the white race. Dean Pickens was given an ovation when he arose seldom accorded a public speaker in Denver. He opened his address by laying stress upon the importance of maintaining and supporting Negro business enterprises and organizations. "Any one with an ounce of brains should be able to see," he declared, "that a dollar spent with a race enterprise is materially helpful to all members of the race." Mr. Pickens continued: "Negroes are too prone to feel that by supporting their own institutions they are jim-crowing themselves, but such a theory is utterly fallacious." He then referred to the Jews and their recognized power, gained by racial solidarity and mutual helpfulness. "There are more Negroes in America than are Jews upon the whole face of the globe," the speaker said. "Then why our lack of power? Simply our failure to unite upon those fundamentals and support those institutions born out of a vision designed to help and fight our cause." Mr. Pickens declared that the greatest single agency in the world today battling to justly promote the cause of the Negro was the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. And that instead of a membership of merely 100,000 as is the case today, there should be a million members in the United States. He said the association was combating evils hinged upon questions that would not be wholly settled, rightfully settled, for a generation. And yet many paid in a dollar expecting an immediate solving of all problems. Nothing comes to any people with great effort and without paying for it. The man who expects to go to heaven without paying for the privilege is only fooling himself. There must be sacrifice, sometimes of money, sometimes of energy, oftentimes of blood. Humanity pays for its successes as well as for its follies. Mr. Pickens warned against the tendency at times of certain individual striving to leave the race through financial or complexion reasons. And stated that the Washington, Chicago, Omaha and Tulsa riots showed how quickly they sought to get back to their own when trouble arose. The entire address was one continued series of pointed paragraphs. It was one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in Shorter. Many new memberships were taken out as an added endorsement of the speaker's strong views. The citizens of Denver are certainly deeply obligated to Shorter Church and choir and to the Denver Branch of N. A. A. C. P. for the opportunity afforded to hear one of the foremost speakers upon the American platform today. $100,000 Bath House Going Up at Hot Springs, Ark. $100,000 Bath House Going Up at Hot Springs, Ark. John L. Webb of Hot Springs, Ark., supreme custodian of the Woodmen of the Union, accompanied by Mrs. Webb and their daughter, Miss Emma Elease, spent several days in New York and called at The Age office. The Webbs are making an extensive tour, having visited Chicago and Toronto before coming to New York Their itinerary, leaving New York, takes them to Atlantic City, Philadelphia, Washington, Richmond, Atlanta, where they will attend the National Negro Business League, Jacksonville, Pensacola and New Orleans. Mr. Webb plans to leave New Orleans in time to reach Hot Springs on August 28th, as the Supreme Session of the Supreme Lodge is to hold its annual meeting August 30-September 2. The Order was founded by Mr. Webb in 1912. In talking of its growth he stated that in 1913 the Order employed one clerk and had a monthly income of $82. In 1921, twenty-three persons make up the office force, and the monthly collections are upward of $30,000. Three of these employés are paid $3,000 a year, and others get from $2,400 down to $600 per annum. The Order owns the block front on Marion avenue running from Gulphun to Garden streets and is operating in Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Louisiana, Florida, Oklahoma, Illinois and the District of Columbia. Mr. Webb told of the bath house and hospital now being erected at Hot Springs, which was begun April 1st and is to be completed and ready for use by November 1st, 1921. It will cost $100,000 and is being paid for out of the Order's surplus funds without the levying of any tax or assessment whatsoever. Other officers of the Order are Dr. E. A. Kendall, supreme president; Prof. Geo. S. Goodman, supreme vice president; Mrs. I. W. Harper, supreme royal queen; Mrs. F. F. White, supreme vice royal queen; Mrs. Susie Woodard, supreme past royal queen; Mrs. L. A. Roberts, supreme secretary.—New York Age. A HUNDRED CAPABLE COLORED GIRLS FOR SHIRT FACTORY. Will Start to Work Sept. 1 in Greenbaum's Shirt Factory, 50th and Market Streets. Through the efforts of Rev. J. B. Atkins, pastor of M. Carmel Baptist Church, 58th and Race streets, one hundred colored girls will start to work in the shirt factory of Greenbaum & Co., 50th and Market streets, on the 1st of September. Dr. Atkins' success in persuading the Greenbaum firm to give colored girls an opportunity in their factory has acted as a great inspiration among the colored people west of the Schuylkill. Mrs. Atkins, the wife of Rev. Dr. Atkins, has opened a sewing school in the lower room of the church. Here more than three hundred girls and young women assemble twice a week and are thoroughly instructed in the work of shirt making and other branches to become useful arts of domestic science. Following the entrance of the hundred girls into the shirt factory, the colored residents of the district will hold a great gathering of rejoicing to celebrate and to give thanks for the success of the effort to place colored women in an industrial competition with their white sisters.—Philadelphia Tribune. NO 45 M. E. CHURCH BUYS SCHOOL IN MISSISSIPPI I. Garland Penn Announces the Purchase of a $350,000 Institution. Through the Education Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church of which Dr. I. Garland Penn is one of the secretaries, Meridian College and Conservatory, at Meridian, Miss., valued at $350,000.00 has been purchased for the education of colored youth. The new property was formerly a school for white girls and contains 100 acres of land comprising a well-developed farm, a large pecan farm of many trees, a spacious campus, and well paved paths and driveways. The buildings include an Administration Building four stories high of brick and cement, a three story conservatory of music, having 150 dormitory rooms and 61 pianos, a science hall, five teachers' residences, a president's cottage, and an auditorium seating 1,500 persons. The Athletic field is equipped for tennis, hockey, crochet, volley ball and basketball. The institution is to be known as The Haven Institute and Conservatory. Emphasis is to be put on teaching, training, music, domestic science and art, commercial courses and high school work preparatory to college. Dr. J. B. F. Shaw, principal of Central Alabama Institute at Birmingham, has been chosen principal of the new Haven institution. Mississippi's colored population is equal to its white, although the colored people have no opportunity for secondary training in public schools. Sweet Bill Creates New "Plums" for Politicians Washington, D. C., Aug. 12.—There is reliable information to the effect that two prominent positions in the War Risk Insurance Bureau, positions called into existence by the recent Sweet consolidation bill, are to direct the work for race soldiers. It is reported that Dr. Crossland and Hon. Charles Cottrill are to be the incumbents of the offices in question. In this connection gossip here is raising the interesting question as to whom is to be the senior in grade. This, many say, is a fit question for prognostication by a Philadelphia lawyer. Another point being raised, too, is: How will the appointment of two prominent politicians to two prominent positions of such a peculiarly military nature be looked upon by service men—boys who went "over there" instead of staying here and singing it. NATIONAL BANK READY TO OPEN Chicago, Ill., Aug. 10.—Douglass National Bank, first colored National Bank in the history of the country with $200,000 capital and $50,000 surplus, is now ready to open. P. W. Chavers is president. The Live Stock Pavilion is 240 feet front by 270 feet deep. Will house 100 Show Horses with judging ring in center of this department.

MEASURE WILL REPEAL EXCESS TAXES AND ALL TRAN- PORTATION LEVIES. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington. — The administration tax revision bill was laid before the House of Representatives after the Republican membership of that body in conference had changed it so as to make repeal of the excess profits tax and the income surtax rates in excess of 32 per cent effective next Jan. 1, instead of last Jan. 1. This change, on the basis of previous treasury estimates would result in the corporations and individuals with large incomes paying to the government in the next calendar year something like $200,000,000 more than they would have paid had the administration plan of making the repeals retroactive prevailed. Total tax reductions for this fiscal year under the bill as revised were estimated by some majority members of the ways and means committee at $350,000,000 as against approximately $550,000,00 planned by committee Republicans and the total tax yield at about $3,200,000,000. As a result of the changes made by the Republican conference, majority committee members further amended the bill before its presentation in the House so as to make corporation income tax $12½ per cent after next Jan. 1, instead of 13 per cent as originally planned and the manufacturers' tax on cereal beverages 6 cents a gallon instead of 12 cents. Much of its 16,000-odd words of text is devoted to amendments of the administrative and definitive sections of the present law, which were drafted by treasury experts with a view to clarifying specific portions of the 1918 act, and meeting situations arising from decisions of the Supreme Court. Aside from the revisions of the levy sections already referred to, the bill proposes repeal of all of the transportation taxes, effective next Jan. 1, increased exemptions to heads of families and married men having incomes of less than $5,000; decreases in the levies on candy, sporting goods, furs and art and art works; the substitution of manufacturers' taxes for the so-called nuisance and luxury levies and other changes, details of which have been given in previous Associated Press dispatches. Additional revisions include exemption from taxation of the salaries of the President of the United States and the judges of the Supreme Court and inferior Federal Courts, and also amounts received by individuals as compensation, family allotments and allowances under provisions of the war risk insurance and vocational rehabilitation acts. Mexican Oil Fields Face Crisis. Mexico City.—The Mexican petroleum industry is threatened with complete paralysis, which probably will reach a crisis in September, according to the newspapers, which quote local oil company representatives and Mexican officials as authority. It is explained that the low market price of oil is in the main responsible for the situation, although the taxes imposed by the Mexican government, to which protests have been made, "have been of no aid." Police Discover "Drug" Route: New York.—A drug route on which deliveries were made regularly after the fashion of milk and ice deliveries was disclosed here when detectives arrested three men and seized a route book containing eighty-eight names from Yonkers to Lakewood, N. J. An automobile used in making deliveries and a quantity of narcotics were taken at the same time. Mother Sues to Recover Baby. Chicago.—Charging that her 4-year-old daughter was being held until she paid a $100 board bill, Mrs. Emma Rosenfels of Los Angeles obtained a writ of habeas corpus to obtain custody of the child. Americans Whip Spaniards. Naples.—Sailors belonging to the crew of the American steamer Pocahontas handed out chastisement to a number of Spanish sailors in a free-for-all fight, which resulted from the Spaniards insulting the Americans by crying "Down with America." The Americans immediately tackled the Spaniards and forced them to withdraw their insult and kiss the American flag. Several of the Spaniards were so badly pummeled that they had to be taken to a hospital. FREIGHT RATES TOO HIGH ON HAY TRANSPORTATION RATES ON HAY WILL PREVENT SHIPPING AT ANY PROFIT. WILL REDUCE HARVEST DEALERS SAY "THOUSANDS OF TONS WILL NOT BE CUT THIS YEAR." (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington.—Movement of hay from Omaha, Kansas City and other markets has been curtailed more than 50 per cent by increased freight rates, according to dealers who appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission in hearings on hay and grain freight rates. Because hay is a cheap commodity and moves longer distances than other products, the traffic has suffered more than others, witnesses said, and thousands of acres of prairie hay in the West will not be cut this year. D. B. Tilson, traffic expert of the Kansas City hay exchange, said hay raised in the Imperial valley of California could be transported by water through the Panama canal to New York for $12.75 a ton against a freight charge by rail from Kansas City to New York amounting to $18.50. N. C. Campbell, president of the Kansas City Hay Dealers' Association, testified that before the increase in rates last year Kansas City, said to be the largest hay market in the world, handled 46,000 cars of hay a season, much of which went to the South and Southeast, to feed stock used in producing cotton, sugar and other farm products. With the increase in rates the Kansas City market tonnage was reduced by half, he said, farmers being unable to use hay costing $30 a ton as a stock feed. James T. Suttie of the transportation department of the Omaha exchange, told of conditions in Nebraska and surrounding states. Quantities of hay will not be cut this year, he said, because freight rates have been so increased that the territory to which hay could be shipped at reasonable prices has been reduced and prices have fallen with the reduction of competition. Attorneys for the carriers objected to the reading into the record of statements made by absent persons regarding the effect of freight rates, and were sustained by Commissioner Lewis. Rate experts who will be put on the stand by the grain committee, it was indicated, will undergo lengthy cross-questioning by railroad attorneys. Earthquake Kills Four. Rome.—Serious earthquake shocks are reported from the Italian colony of Erlitrea, on the African shore of the Red sea. A telegram from Asmara, the seat of the governmental residence of the colony, says four people have been killed and a score injured at Massowa, on the Red sea coast. Several houses have collapsed and others have been damaged in that town, while other casualties are reported from nearby places. Missing Flier's Body Found. Santader, Spain.—The body of the aviator Florentino Villa, who had been missing for several days, was found at the bottom of a deep gully among the Castro Sopene mountains. A mechanic, who was accompanying the aviator when he met his death, also has been found. 5.735.000 Jobless in U. S. Washington.—Best estimates available at this time show that 5,735,000 persons are out of employment in the United States, Secretary of Labor Davis reported to the senate in response to a resolution calling for figures. Life Prisoner Is Caught. Duquoin, Ill.-Jesse Jopling of this city, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 1914 for the murder of Dr. D. Winton Dunn, a local physician, and who escaped from the southern Illinois pententary at Chester nearly a year ago, has been apprehended at Honolulu, Hawaii, according to a cableum to Warden James A. White. Harry Pearson, a guard, left immediately to bring the prisoner back. When Jopling escaped he was a trusty. SITUATION IS CRITICAL LLOYD GEORGE DENIES RIGHT OF IRELAND TO SECEDE. ALL NEGOTIATIONS ON SUBJECT REVEALED—NEW DEMAND FOR INDEPENDENCE. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) London.—Eammon de Valera, leader of the Irish republicans, has refused to accept the proposals of the British government, constituting dominion government and having as their basis the bringing about of peace in Ireland. He declares that the conditions sought to be imposed constitute interference in Irish affairs and control which cannot be permitted. On the other hand, Mr. Lloyd George has informed Mr. De Valera that there can be no compromise on the question of the right of Ireland to secede from her allegiance to the king. The premier tells Mr. De Valera that the conditions of the proposed settlement contain no desire on the part of Great Britain for British ascendancy over Ireland or the impairment of Ireland's national ideals. "Our proposals present to the Irish people," says the premier, "an opportunity such as never has dawned in their history before. We have made them in a sincere desire to achieve peace, but beyond them we cannot go." Mr. Lloyd George leaves open the door for possible further negotiations with Mr. De Valera by saying that the government will discuss the application of the principles of its offer whenever acceptance of the principles is communicated to him. The official records in the Irish peace negotiations were made public unexpectedly. They show seemingly a deadlock, based on a vital difference between De Valera and the premier—De Valera's renewed insistence on independence and that Ulster shall be regarded merely as a minority faction of an Irish nation. The disclosures constitute the keenest political sensation since the close of the war. The politicians of both England and Ireland tonight were discussing the question whether the door had been closed on further negotiations. They seemed to find in the conellatory tons of the correspondence, however, ground for hope that some bridge might yet be built across the chasm of difference over the question of independence. It was the consensus of opinion that all depends on the temper of the Dail Eireann when it meets in Dublin on Tuesday but that altogether Ireland stands at present at the most critical point of her history. Great Britain offered Ireland complete autonomy in finance and taxation, military forces for home defense, her own police, and, among other things, control of the Irish postal service. Makes Record Sinking Shaft. Salt Lake City, Utah.—A world record in shaft sinking was made when a gang at the Walter Fitch, Jr., Co., of Eureka, Utah, completed $427\frac{1}{2}$ feet of a vertical three-compartment shaft on the Water Lily claim of the Chief Consolidated Mining Company of Eureka. The distance was made in thirty-one consecutive days and exceeded by $117\frac{1}{2}$ feet the previous world record made in 1920 by the Crown Mines, Ltd., of Johannesburg, South Africa, where a depth of 319 feet was made in thirty-one days. Demand Tariff Protection. Greensboro, N. C.—Demand for a protective tariff on southern and western products was advocated here before the Southern Tariff Congress by Senator Ladd of North Dakota; John H. Kirby of Houston, Texas, president of the association, and others. C. W. Parsons made an appeal for pressure upon Congress to continue the embargo against foreign dyes, charging that the recent vote in the House of Representatives against the embargo "was due to German propaganda." Three Negroes Electrocuted. Nashville, Tenn.—Will Allen and Chesly Graham, negroes, convicted of the murder of Harry Allen, a merchant in Hardin county, and Hamp Gholson, a negro convicted of the murder of Isaac Levy, a Memphis jeweler, were electrocuted at the state prison here. Gholson offered a short prayer for the fatherless children of the man he had killed. Prison Chaplain J. C. Meyers said Gholson asked, "Do you suppose God will forgive a man who has killed six men?" HARDING RECOGNIZES SENATE'S SHARE OF RESPONSIBILITY IN OUR FOREIGN AFFAIRS. WORK WITH HUGHES $200,000 APPROPRIATION IS AP PROVED TO PAY EXPENSES OF DISARMAMENT MEETING. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Washington.—The Senate claim to a share of responsibility for the foreign affairs of the nation was recognized by President Harding by the designation of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, chairman of the foreign relations committee, as a member of the American delegation to the disarmament conference. Formal announcement of the appointment was made from the White House, where it was indicated that the President felt he had formed the nucleus of a balanced delegation by choosing as the first member Senator Lodge and Secretary Hughes, whose selections to head the American representatives was made known several days ago. Other members probably will not be chosen until it is determined definitely how many places each nation is to have in the conference. While diplomatic negotiations preliminary to the conference were at a standstill awaiting formal responses to the American government's invitation, the administration advanced its physical plans for the meeting in several directions. In Congress, the President's request for a $200,000 appropriation to pay expenses was given approval by the Senate appropriation committee and was reported to the Senate for consideration as a part of the shipping board appropriation bill. By State Department officials, a virtual decision was reached as to the place of meeting here, and although announcement was withheld, it was indicated that the Pan-American building, situated near the State Department and White House, had been chosen. It is understood that negotiations with representatives of the Pan-American union for use of the building will be concluded within a few days. Meantime, it was definitely and finally disclosed that the American government has no intention of paying the expenses of the visiting delegations, a subject on which there has been much speculation abroad since the official invitations went forward. In the highest administration quarters, it was said this government saw no reason why it should be expected to pay the entire cost of the conference in which all the participating nations are as vitally interested as the United States, and that there never had been any intention of doing Meat Cutters Seek Arbitration. Omaha, Neb.—An effort to negotiate with the packers an arbitration agreement to take effect Sept. 15, when the present national or Alschuler agreement expires, will be made by the Amalgamated Ment Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America. This was decided upon here by a conference of officers and delegates of the butcher workmens' union at the conclusion of a three-day session. The agreement was drafted it was not made public. Officer Kills Mexican Smuggler. El Paso, Texas.—An unidentified Mexican killed, one man wounded, two horses killed and the seizure by custom officers, headed by J. D. Reeder, of ten gallons of alcohol, fifty-six quarts and 333 pints of tequila and one gallon of a Mexican distillate the name of which was unknown to officers, constituted the result of a pitched battle between Mr. Reeder's force of nine men and a band of Mexican smugglers. Rangers Kill Fence Cutter. Rangers Rm Pence Outter. Silver City, N. M.—Endocla Guzman was shot and killed near Fierro, N. M., by Forest Rangers J. R. McClure and Leslie Fleming. Guzman and Guiselo Acosta were alleged to have cut a fence belonging to the government, and when the officers attempted to arrest them a gun battle followed, Guzman being killed. Acosta was arrested. The coroner's jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. To Investigate Exchange. Washington.—A joint resolution authorizing the president to call a conference of the leading commercial nations to consider means of stabilizing international exchange was introduced by Senator King, Democrat, Utah. Germany Gets Austrian Arsenal. Vienna.—The Austrian government has sanctioned the sale of the Great Woellersdorff arsenal, the largest plant in Austria, to a German syndicate, a small portion of the stock being retained in the government's hands. The purchasers include the bankers Beer, Sondheimer and Company, and Ludwig Schiff, of Frankfort-on-Main, and Prince Lippe-Detmold. The plant is valued at nearly $100,000,000 and has been converted in part to peace-time products. --- COLORADO STATESMAN The Mouth-Piece of the People of Colorado and the Entire West ARELIABLE chronicle of their doings and progress; a faithful mirror of their wants, their hopes, their best aspirations.

Federal aid in the amount of $96,- 477.54 was requested by the State High- way Commission of the United States bureau of public roads In the proposed construction of five miles of concrete- paved road, covering two projects near Denver. The first project consists of a six-tenths of a mile stretch beginning at the end of the Berkeley-Arvada stretch and extending through the town of Arvada; the second proposed concrete stretch calls for four and four-tenths miles on Federal boule: yard toward Broomfield. ‘The total cost of construction is estimated at $194,- 955.09. ‘The Loveland school district has re ceived about $5,000 from the county superintendent as its share of the $13,- 096 received by the county in the dis- tribution of state school funds. The apportionment was made at the rate of $2 per school pupil as shown by the last census. ‘The War Department has no inten- tion of abandoning Fort Logan, Colo., fas an army post, but it will be impos- sible to station a complete regiment there, This information was given to the Colorado senators by Secretary Weeks, The action of Congress in re- ducing the personnel of the army makes it impracticable to increase Fort Logan to a regimental post, they were informed. ‘The July output of mines in the Cripple Creek district amounted to $194,580.78, an increase of $20,408.68 over June, while there were 647 cars of ore shipped, bringing the total shipped since Jan, 1 to 4,000. ‘The to- tal number of tons treated in July was 92,592, an increase of 3,211 over June. ‘The Golden Cycle mill In Colo- rado Springs treated 22,000 tons, the Independence mill 15,882, and the Lin- coln mill 1,710, ‘The Ignacio State Bank at Ignacio, twenty-six miles southeast of Durango, JENTENNIAL STATE ITEMS. Practically complete reports from tounty assessors to the State Inmigra- ton Department show above 52,000 farms on which land Is being cultivated in Colorado this year, compared with 49,117 farms reported by county as sessors Inst year, While there Is ap- parently a large area in cultivation In the state this year than last, the ap- parent increase in number of farms Is perhaps due to more complete returns being made by county assessors this year than previous years. ‘Phe law re- quiring county assessors to collect ag- rieultural statistics annually became effective in 1919, and this 1s the third year such statistics have been col- lected, Assessors are Improving thelr reports this year, due largely to the demands of local business men and commercial organizations for complete and accurate reports. | Excavations now being made of ‘ruins on the San Juan National forest at Chimney Rocks, near Pagosa Springs, Colorado, are proving of great ‘Interest. ‘The ruins are doubtless the oldest in the United States and show more primitive workmanship than those in other localities, A permit covering the San Juan forest was granted the Colorado State Historical and Natural History Society and J. A. Jeancon, director and curator of the department of archaeology and ethnol- ogy is in charge of the work. ‘Three iron bridges which were sent to the forestry bureau for erection in Larimer county by the government during the war, and which have never been put into service, are to be taken over by the State Highway Depart- ment and will be used on the South Platte river not far from Denver. They were Intended for use on the Poudre river, but are only eleven feet wide, and for this reason were never erected, It is thought probable that the bridges will be widened when they are put up.

Vocational men are to hive a month's vacation, beginning Aug. 27. Publication of the natfonal potate crop estimate of the United States De- partment of Agriculture for August caused much joy in the Greeley dis. trict. ‘The estimate showed a decrease from the July estimate of 61,000,000 bushels, a drop from 877,000,000 bush. els to 316,000,000 bushels. Fewer people in Larimer county will be delinquent with thelr taxes this year than for many years previous, according to County ‘Treasurer WIl- liam J. Ralph, who says 75 per cent of the taxes were paid on time. With those who: will pay before the list is published, and after it appears in the paper, it is thought that the sale of property for taxes this year will be quite small, With the completion of tha half mile track and the ‘gigantic grand: stand and corrals, everything is now in readiness for the opening of the “Ride ‘em rough roundup” at Colorado Springs, Aug.2 2, 23 and 24.

FRIENDSHIP JAPS PROVED FAITHFUL IN LATE WAR AND DESERVE FAIR TREATMENT. (Wentere Newipiper Uaten! Rees Sartten) London.—"If the alliance with Japan could be merged Into a greater under- standing with Japan and the United States on all the problems of the Pa- cific, that would be a great event, and It would be a guarantee for the peace of the world.” ‘Thus spoke David Lloyd George, the British prime minister, before the house of commons in outling the work of the recent conference of the imper- inl_premiers. ‘The premier was dealing specifical- ly with the Anglo-Japanese alliance at ‘the time, and explaining how the con- ference had unanimously recognized that Japan loyally had carried out her obligations to Great Britain during the war in letter and spirit, Mr, Lloyd George asked if it was to be suggested that Great Britain should now turn her back upon Japan with a mere thank you and good-by, after Japan's ald had proved to be one of the turning factors in the war, in that it had given protection to the transit of dominion and Indian troops across seas. Even countries disliking the Anglo-Japanese alliance would despise the British if after such services Great Britain turned her back upon Japan, he declared. ‘The premier said he saw no reason why it should be impossible to remem: ber obligations to Japan and at the ‘same time preserve a spirit of fra- ‘ternity with the United States, It was a cardinal principle of Brit- ish policy, the premier continued, that Great Britain should act in as com- plete accord with the United States as possible, He did not know of any country in the world with whom it was more Important to act in concert, He declared that the surest way to make a success of the disarmament conference was first to reach an un derstanding on Pacific questions, and he hoped his view in this respect would be taken at the Washington gathering. During his address, Mr. Lloyd George revealed the fact that the con: ference of the premiers did not dis cuss the Irish question, He said there was no burning desire to touch upon that difficult matters Want Million Tobacco Fighters.

Usually about 70 to 75 per cent of the cotal production in Colorado Is considered commercial. Winter wheat declined 5 points during July and had a harvest time figure of 84 per cent of normal. Based on this condition the production ia estimated at 24,500,000 bushels, com- pared with about 19,841,000 bushels, tentatively revised estimate for last year, and 13,675,000 bushels in 1919. ‘The spring wheat crop declined 7 poluts during July and reached August 1 with a condition of 85 per cent, 5 points lower than lust year on August 1 and 2 points above the ten-year average. ‘This condition promises a production of 6,331,000 bushels, com- pared with 5,626,000 bushels tast year. ‘The total production of both winter and spring wheat in the state, as now estimated, will amount to 30,831,000 bushels, compared with 25,467,000 bushels last year and 18,261,000 bush- els the Census Bureau figure for 1919. Colorado corn declined 11 points during July, and on August 1 was 84 per cent of normal, 6 points below. August 1 last year and 4 points high- er than the ten-year average. With this condition figure, this year’s crops of corn still promises to be the rec: ord crop for the state and amounts to approximately 19,026,000 bushels, as compared with a revised estimate of 18,910,000 bushels for last year. ‘These production figures are based on the estimate that approximately 80 per cent of the acreage planted to corn lost year was harvested for grain and that the percentage for grain will be about the saie this year. In 1919 the corn crop of the state amounted to 10,106,000 bushels, as shown by the Censtis Bureau and was produced on nbout 71 per cent of the corn acreage planted. ‘All of the other principal crops in- dicate production somewhat greater than the ten-year average.

Mrs. Baptiste is en route east and will visit Detroit, Buffalo, Niagara Falls and New York before returning home. THE COLORADO STATESMAN is proud to note that our old time friend, W. O. Scholtz, has again entered the business field. We are advised that Mr. Scholtz is one of the incorporators and president of The Western Lime Company, and are producing a very fine grade of lime for building purposes, water purification and fertilizer. They have large possessions near Manitou and is strictly a Colorado company, owned entirely by Denver people. Our intimate knowledge of the business ability and fairness of Mr. Scholtz, our very pleasant relations with him for many years prompts the suggestion that Colorado people would do well to use and specify the product of this company; first, because it equals anything in the market, then because it is a home company employing Colorado workmen and building up the industry of this state. The many friends of Mrs. Callie Campbell, our noted chiropodist, were completely surprised to hear of her marriage to Mr. Hamilton Brown of Aspen, Colo., which took place Thursday evening of last week at her home, 1398 So. Clarkson street, at 8 o'clock, the Reverend Wm. Thomas officiating. Mrs. Brown was the president of the Pond Lily Art Club, one of the most active in the city, and her departure will be keenly felt. The presents were beautiful and varied, among them a fine four-year-old thoroughbred saddle horse, the gift of the groom. The house was most artistically decorated with flowers by Mrs. Matilda Jacobs, while Mrs. Elizabeth Douglass presided over the serving of the dainty refreshments. Miss Stella Reed and Mr. Wendell Allen rendered many selections on the piano and violin. Mr. and Mrs. Brown have the best wishes and heartiest congratulations of their numerous friends and will live in Aspen. ON THE HEIGHTS. Mr. and Mrs. A. S. Hamilton, living at 2630 Arapahoe street, have demonstrated beyond question the wonderful possibilities of united effort and energy. Their newly remodeled and refinished home is a veritable palace. Every known and requisite comfort is to be found there and the genius of rare taste and culture is manifest on every side. Indeed the Hamilton home must be seen to be fully appreciated. A model of richness, with elegant draperies, paintings and hangings, the Colorado Statesman confesses its inability to offer adequate description. And yet the most important point to be considered in connection with this beautiful home is the fact that it overshadows any home owned by the dominant race in that vicinity. Thus it stands alone upon heights to which all others must seek to climb if they are not to be out-distanced in material progress and prosperity. It has been our boast in the past and we now repeat that Denver is a city of beautiful homes owned by its Negro citizens. We stand upon the heights. VISITORS IN THE CITY.

Everyone of the leading questions relating to Interna- tonal affairs that are now up would huve been answered by ratification, There is a general agreement that if the treaty had been disposed of with- in a couple of months afer it was submitted to the senate on July 10, 119, the world would, by this. time, have been well on the road to recov ery from the effects of a great war.

Limitation of Armaments. Public sentiment ut home and abroad his compelled the new admin- istration to take the initlative Ina movement for limitation of —arnia- ments. Obviously, if the Versailles treaty had been ratified, the United States would not have been put to the necessity of Inviting the principal al- i Tae of the world to meet it in Ja conference on timinition of arnt: ments, ‘The men who wrete the treaty sa clearly that limitation of arma- menis must come If the world was to Ibe spayed a greater burden of taxation [than it could bear, und if effective steps toward preserving world peace Were to he taken, and so the trenty Juade provision for tulsing up the sub: seer ot iatrmawient 6 limitation of ACME. ‘the representatives of other na- tious here while giving the plan for imitation of armaments their cordial support, remark that if the United |Stutes hud ratified the treaty in the ‘fall of 1919, limitation of armaments: ‘Would, in ull probability, be effective today. 1 is reasonuble to assume, these diplomats point out, that imi tation of armaments would have been | one of the first steps taken by the Leaxue of Nations.

Of course, if the Versailles treaty had been ratified the new administration: would not be engaged In trying to plan an ussociition of nations “equally as good” as the League of Nations. Trying to Catch Up. The truth Is that the United States Is today trying to make up for almost two years of lost time in international affairs. In four months and a balf the new administration has become convinced that the work of the Paris conference was not, after all, wholly bad. The trewty in its present form can never be accepted by the United States, the administration says—par- tleulurly that portion of the treaty pro- viding for the League of Nutions—but this government realizes not only the importance but the necessity of the world doing things which the Paris conference sald it should dy, and for which that conference made provision In the treaty. ‘The principle underlying the foreign policy of the Harding administration is almost Identiea! with the principle which guided the Wilson administra tion In dealing with world affairs. The former administration advocated an after-thewar poliey of world co-oper- ation, ‘The peace conference at Paris undertook to bring about that co-op: eration through a League of Nations. The Harding administration seems dis- posed to go as far as its predecessor in urging world co-operation. It has a way of its own in approaching inter national subjects; it tukes up things whieh the former administration han- dled and renames then, but It is striv- ing to attuin the same ends which the former administration sought to ate tain. War Weapons Developed Rapidly. While the immediate purpose of the five great powers in limitation of armaments is to suve money, the ulti- mute object Is, of course, to. save humian lives. Every one of the powers that will be represented in the con- ference here fs concerned over the rapid development of destruetive EG Be ee hae emer eK 6 gata TC eae 68 CNS Oe Brees ee ee ee ae by sluce the armistice was signed, de- velopments in the production of death dealing instruments of war have come with startling rapidity, ‘The Inventive minds which the war set to work did not cease activity with the signing of the armistice, From week to week and month to month they have gone right on developing new instruments for killing men in case of war, ‘The greatest developments have, of course, been in the air and gas serv fees. In the meantime, however, all other Implements of war, whether used by the army or the navy, are being brought to a degree of efficiency never attained before, These devel- opments must be taken Into consider- ation by the statesmen of the five great nations. There Is, of course, a erying demand that money expendl- tures in preparations for war be re- duced, but after all the big thing, as the leading statesmen of the day view the situation, Is for the great powers to get together on some plan for lim- iting the use of the new agencles for killing people by the wholesale. Gas, Too, Must Be Considered. When it first became known that the United States Intended to Invite the principal allied powers to attend the conference here on limitation of armaments, it was generally assumed that the conference would devote most of its time to a discussion of naval armaments, Now, however, partly as a result of the experiments off the Virginia capes, and partly due to the fact that it is going to be gen- erally known that everyone of the powers Is engaged in developing new poisonous gases, the general under- standing is that the conference will probably devote much of its time to the question of what Hmitattons shall be placed on the use of these modern implements of warfare. Officers of our army and navy say it is Inevitable that civilized nations, in case of unother war, would permit the unlimited use of the destructive guses that are now in process of de- velopment. It is well known that some of the powers have developed gases that could be used in the whole- sale destruction of fleets and vessels and of arms and men. Reserves to Be Made Effective. Under the new military policy of the government the reserve officers" training corps und the citizens’ train- ing corps become an essential part of the fighting organization.

Under such a system it is reasonable to expect that the units of the National Guard will be maintained at sufficient strength to be effective us a first re-enforcement for the regalur army, and that the units of the orgunized reserves will at least Include a corps of officers, honcommissioned officers and special- ists, organized and trained to receive and train recruits required in un emer- gency demanding the large forces.

It is the President's desire that the regular army shall be so organized as to carry out this Intent of congress to the full- est extent, As the regular army now contains more regiments and other units than can be muintained at effective strength with the authorized enlisted personnel, it is proposed to retain a. suitable number of units at an en- listed strength effective for immediate military service and to place the units thus rendered surplus “out of commis- sion” until such time as congress shall authorize an Increase in the enlisted strength of the regular army, ‘There True.

With a chuckle, he tells of the couples that have made their way down the river front hand in hand und often coming aboard oblivious of passengers and staring deckhands— forgetting to pay their fare as they passed the little’ counter at the dock. “Lér, yes, there's been a plenty of them,” he smiles, wagging his chin. “You can tell ‘em every time. ‘They come down all eyes for each other, and none for anybody else.

Why Not Take the Ice Cream Freezer Along? 2 (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Among 8,700 farm women, seven- eighths reported “no vacation” in a survey of the northern and western states recently made by the states re- lations service, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture. A good number mentioned scattered “days off” in the family automobile, which apparently offered the chief means of diversion from the routine work of the home. Lunch Easy as Possible. ‘There should be a deliberate effort during the out-of-doors months to seize every opportunity for providing the mother of the family with this or other means of relaxation. A whole day without cooking, dishwashing, sewing, or any of the heavier home tasks goes a long way toward resting weary muscles. But “Mother” is very apt to retort that even a picnic meal Is a good deal of bother to prepare before- hand, that sandwiches take time to make, and that a meal out-of-doors never seems as hearty as one at the table. “Mother” must be persuaded that when everyone lends a hand, and the right materials are chosen for the picnic lunch, it may be both easy and hearty and the change will do. her a world of good. If sandwiches are a bother, why take them? Any summer afternoon on the lazy, lovely Thames in England may be seen boating parties drawn up to the bank for the inevitable “tea,” usually equivalent to a hearty supper.

Canning Demonstrators Have Proven That Color, Despite Popular Opin- ion, Has Nothing to Do With Strength of Band. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) Spoilage of canned goods frequently has been traced to the use of poor rub- ber rings. ‘The fruit or vegetable canned may be fresh from the garden, the jars and tops may be perfect and absolutely clean, the processing may be done in the right way for the right = oe ie > oe coe ae Good. length of time, but if the rubber rings ure not reliable, much of the good work done goes for naught. ‘Phe best quality of rubber ring is needed by the housekeeper who uses any method of canning in which the ring is heated with the jar and its contents. If the rubber ring develops imperfections after {t has been heated the required time, It is necessary to replace it and again process the Jar. Canning demonstrators of the United States Department of Agriculture hitve been studying the requirements of a good rubber ring in order to eliminate this cause of canning trouble. Tests of thousands of rings dis- closed the fact that color, despite pop- ular opinion, bas nothing to do with the quality or strength of the rubber. ‘A ring should be able to support a weight of 13 pounds without break- ing. To make a perfect seal, rubber rings should possess elasticity enough to take up the unevenness of the jar and the cover, and be strong enough to resist cutting when the seal is made. A ring that cannot be folded or pinched without breaking is use- less for canning by methods in which the ring is heated (processed) with the jar and contents. work, is suggested by the dairy divi- sion of the United States Department of Agriculture. Why not take a freezer full of ice cream along, or a frozen ‘fruit pudding, since the work of freez- ng it Is usually done by the children and not by “Mother”? Elaborate baking should not be at- tempted in advance, When the or- dinary supply of bread is being made, a few rulsins can be added to one loaf for a change at the picnic, Good “buns” can be quickly made of ordinary bis- cult dough rolled out in a sheet, sprin- kled with raisins, or dates, cinnamon, ‘and sugar, then rolled up like a jelly roll and cut into pieces a quarter of an inch thick. Dusting them with sugar and brushing with milk helps to brown them nicely while baking. Frozen Fruit Pudding. Any preferred fruit pulp and juice may be used in the following easy recipe, which makes a quantity suf- ficient to serve about five persons: 1 cup frult pulp and 1 cup milk Juice (strawberry, 1 cup sugar raspberry, black: A Httle salt berry, pewch, ete.) A few drops of 1eup cream lemon fulce Heat the milk, add the sugar, and when the sugar is dissolved and the mixture cooled add the other ingredl- ents. Pienic dishes, cups, and tableware can hardly be dispensed with, though the mother of the family should not be permitted to “wash up” a single utensil. Paper will do wonders at a picnic. If everybody bears in mind that outings like this constitute “Moth- ex's vacation,” there will be an affee- tionate competition as to who shall attend to the few details of prepara- tion and clearing up connected with the trip.

Prepare 4 white sauce, using one cupful each of milk and chicken broth, three level tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour with one teaspoonful of salt; mix with the first combination and cover with a rich biscult dough, To keep the gravy from going into the erust, place an inverted cup or small bowl, well greased, in the center of the dish before pouring in the gravy, ‘The gravy will thus go under the cup. Loosen the crust and remove the bow! before serving. Watermelon Cocktail,—Cut a chilled melon into thick slices, remove the seeds and cut out with a vegetable stamp or a potato cutter into balls or shapes. Sprinkle with a little pow- dered sugar and serve in stemmed glasses as a beginning for a luncheon or dinner. Peach Betty.—Use the soft crumbs from the center of a stale loaf of bread. Mix three cupfuls of crumbs with one-half cupful of melted but- ter. Have ready a pint and a half of sliced peaches. Put the buttered crumbs and fruit in layers In a bak- ing dish, sprinkle each layer with sugar, grated orange or lemon peel. Bake one hour. Cover the dish during the first half of the cooking, but re- move to brown the crumbs. Serve hot, with sugar and cream. Apples may ‘be used in place of peaches, or any juley fruit. Quinces are delicious baked In a casserole. Add boiling water, o:ange peel and sugar, filling the centers with | pugar and butter.

WENN a my natural flavor; the other way unites tt with highly flavored vegetables or sea sonings which produce a combination of flavors, One of the important things to re- member in serving mutton and ‘amo witn the gravy containing any of the fat 1s to have it piping hot, as the fat hardens so quickly that it leaves ao unpleasant furry feeling on the tongue. Everything used in the serving of mut- ton, service plates, platters and gravy dishes, should be well heated. Roast Saddle of Mutton.—A saddle of mutton is the loin cut off in one plece, It is a favorite roasting plece. Sprinkle the meat with salt and pep- per, place in the baking pan on a rack and dredge with flour. Bake in a hot oven, busting frequently and allow ten or fifteen minutes to the pound, de- pending upon whether it is to. be rare or well done. ‘The leg of mutton ts roasted in the same way. Serve with a brown gravy with or without cur- rant Jelly. In making the gravy allow two tablespoonfuls of fat for eaci cuptul of gravy desired. Pour off al! the fat and measure the desired amount, add three iablespoonfuls a1 tlour for each two of fat and cook until well browned, Add broth or boiling water—one cupful to the pro: vortions of flour and fat given, Sea- son with salt and pepper and add one glass of currant jelly to a cupful of gravy. This makes a delicious sauce for reheated cold mutton. Caper Sauce.—Melt one-third of a wupful of butter, add two tablespoon- fuls of flour and cook thoroughly. Pour on gradually one and one-half cupfuls of hot mutton broth, add one: half cupful of capers drained from their liquor and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Chopped sour pickles may be substituted for the capers. This sauce 's sefved with boiled mutton. hi d ty We The Sears: aes visu ° Pog ENS EONS REND , Curtis ean ee oe Park ° V4 AY yee Ss Ae Floral ae. eNO Company . ee, FLORAL DESIGNS Sc"?

Call Main 7417 PRESS COMMENT: No library is complete without Scott's History of "The American Negro in the World War," and no better legacy could be left to posterity than this great work of Negro heroism and patriotism. Suit-Frocks and Others wraps to match but this is the exception and not the rule. The model pictured here, of dark blue cloth, has its bodice faced with beige-colored crepe de chine and turned back to form a collar. It opens to the waistline over a high-necked vest of batiste, voile, net or other sheer wash fabric and has a narrow tie of black ribbon at the throat. Wide, black, cire ribbon is used for the girdle and groups of plaits at the sides break the straight lines of the skirt. JUDGING from the examples now on exhibition, of one-piece frocks for fall, we may prophesy a season in which these dresses will follow the lines of the natural figure. It would be more accurate to say that they adjust themselves to it easily and gracefully in a way that is flattering to all figures. Many of them are of the straight line type, showing a very slight definition of the waistline which they contrive to make a little long. Others have bodices bloused, over girdles, all around and still others are bloused at the front and hang straight at the back in the fashion of a "paletot," which extends below the waistline. Several successful summer ideas are carrying over into fall and among them are long petal tunics as shown in the dress at the right. Four long petals rounded at the ends, are embroidered with a narrow band in a contrasting color and hung over a plain skirt. The embroidered band outlines the neck and finishes the sleeves. There is a vestee and a wide sash of crepe de chine which match the embroidery in color. Box and side plattings are making themselves very useful in one-piece frocks, both in suit-frocks like that at the left of the picture and in dresses that do not simulate a suit. Some of the smartest of the suit-frocks have jackets, capes or other THE HAT frames, whose outlines are more or less definitely followed, crowns are soft, or at any rate soft looking, even in blocked shapes. A duvetyn hat at the upper left of the group is a good example, with a narrow braid that has the effect of embroidery, making an irregular scroll over it. A phi with a dangling head, studded with rhinestones, is thrust in the coronet at the right side. The lovely velvet hat at the right follows the lines of a similar shape more vaguely, and has rosettes of narrow cire ribbon set in a row at each side. The wide brimmed Breton sailor draped with duvetyn is faced with satin elaborated with braid. Beads and narrow ribbon cover the coronet of the round velvet turban, with a flower and leaf design. The felt shape, with overbrim, which may be either velvet or duvetyn, makes a fine background for the wreath of chenille flowers applied to its crown. THE story of millinery for fall and winter is going to be interesting, not to say exciting. Its opening chapter, now being written in hats for early fall, is fascinating, introducing us to new arrivals in the realm of fabrics and trimmings, and intriguing us by the exhaustless ingenuity of designers. Starting with fabrics—duvetyn and similar cloths, satin, velvet, both plain and panne, are the old familiar favorites that make a foundation or a background for new kinds of brocade and new kinds of embroidery net; brocades that look like cut-out work, nets that look like metallic embroidery on heavy fabrics over which they are posed. For trimmings, the designer looks to many things, beads of the bugle and seed varieties and larger wooden beads, soutache braid, narrow ribbons, feathers, silk embroidery and stitchery. And the public, it appears, puts a premium on originality in the use and combination of all these.
