THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY SUPREME LODGE PYTHIAS ME Twenty-First Biennial Knights of Pythias America, Europe and Au SUPREME LODGE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS MEET AT TOPEKA Twenty-First Biennial Convention of the Knights of Pythias, North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. --- (By CHAS. STEWART.) TOPEKA, KANS.—Having conquered the east, the Knights of Pythias turned their attention to the west, and closed the twenty-first biennial convention of the order in Topeka with the west helplessly in their hands. To complete the story as one of union as well as action, every officer was re-elected by acclamation, from S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, down the line. Gov. Henry J. Allen, the great governor of Kansas stayed with the Pythias all the way. He welcomed them to the state, spent the day in John E. Lewis camp on Governor's Day and occupied the center of the stage in the reviewing stand on Friday when the parade tore all records to pieces. "I have got better ground to stand on," said Governor Allen, to whom the pusued Negro has never appealed for mercy in vain. In the legislative sessions of the great Negro fraternity the charter of the Grand Lodge of Virginia was revoked by an almost unanimous vote. New York was chosen as the convention city for 1923, and the Supreme Chancellor was instructed to inquire into the returns of the grand domains so that hereafter the figures will stand up to each other face to face. Topeka, capital of Kansas, found itself overrun for the first time. The entire population took a holiday during the Pythian siege; white people got off to see something new to their gaze and colored people got off because of their habit to knock off in the season of Negro triumph. Thousands came from every direction. The presence of the Pythians, their conduct, their looks, their deportment in convention, made countless friends for the race in these parts, and backed the Ku Klux Klan to the wall. Roscoe Simmons was in attendance at the convention. "This is all it takes," he said; "this is all, a little patience, a little faith and everybody keeping step to the music up in front." The supreme lodge was composed of some of the most representative men and women of the country, those who are struggling to better the condition of the race from every viewpoint. They were here from all parts of the country, and a deal of legislation of interest to the order was carried out. Dr. H. W. Conrad of Guthrie, Okla., was among the most prominent, and the same could be said of Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, who has been interested in affairs and instrumental in winning many cases. Dr. C. M. Wade of Arkansas offered resolution on the late Chief Justice White, whose manhood was tested while on the bench, and who was manly enough to speak out and render justice for all citizens regardless to race or color. Grand Chancellor S. H. Thompson made a good showing and said many good things. He threw open to the VOL. XXVII. THE ONLY RELIANCE COLOR THE KNIGHTS OF EET AT TOPEKA General Convention of the s, North and South oe, Asia, Africa ustralia. people the doors of Kansas, being backed by his jurisdiction, and he won for himself and jurisdiction laurels. The supreme lodge elected the following officers: S. W. Green of New Orleans was re-elected supreme chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias of North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia. Ernest G. Tidrington of Evansville, Ind., was re-elected vice supreme chancellor and head of the Supreme Court of Calanthe. Both are recognized leaders among the Negro in America. Green has been supreme chancellor for the past fourteen years and his election was unanimous. The other officers elected by the supreme lodge are: N. C. Nic, South Carolina, supreme prelate. Roscoe C. Simmons, Kentucky, supreme lecturer. E. E. Underwood, Kentucky, supreme keeper of records and seals. John H. Young, Arkansas, supreme master of exchequer. S. A. T.

H. Fordham, South Carolina; W. W. Andrews, Florida; Chas. V. Wickham, M. D., Oklahoma; E. D. Green, secretary, Pythian Temple and Sanitarium Commission. Every representative was present at 9:30 o'clock Thursday and the first thing in order was the report of E.D. Green of Chicago, secretary of the Pythian Temple Sanitarium and Temple Commission, which is supported by the supreme lodge. Green has held some prominent positions in Illinois, and was at one time member of the general assembly from Chicago. He has perhaps handled more money belonging to the Negroes of this country than any other official. The report made showed that the collection during the past two years had been $95,594.57, and the expenditures had been $29,768.71. The department operates a bath and sanitarium in Hot Springs for the benefit of the members of the order and all other members of the Negro race. It is the only bath house opened to the Negroes in Hot Springs, and they are planning for the erection of a Pythian Temple in Chicago at a cost of $250,000. Supreme Court officials re-elected were: Mrs. M. S. Grant, Dearim, Ga., supreme inspector; Mrs. M. J. Hazel- C State Hist. & Nat Hist Bee, State House ORIGINAL IN POOR CONDITION wood, Charleston, W.

Underwood of Frankfort, Ky., in making his report as supreme keeper of records and seal, accounted for the collection of $5,545.32 from all sources. He is one of the leading physicians of the state of Kentucky, as well as a leader in thought. He was the author of the anti-lynching bill which was put through the state legislature, and which means the protection of all. "I want to see the time come when every state in this Union will have such a law, and then let it be followed by the United States congress taking a stand against lynching. It is an evil which unless checked will undermine our free institutions and make America a laughing thing for all civilization. If we can go to Europe and help to establish democracy, then let us at home be able to maintain law and order. This monster which is now threatening our institutions must be consigned to hell where it belongs." There was a large amount of business transacted during the morning session. Supreme Attorney S. A. Watkins, whose reputation as a lawyer extends throughout the country, made a report. He has won some important cases for the supreme lodge and others in the courts. He is ever ready to defend and protect the rights of the supreme lodge. Urge Law and Order. Urge Law and Order. An appeal to the president, members of congress, governors and other public officials for a firm stand against mob rule was presented by the committee on racial conditions and adopted by the supreme lodge. The report was signed by J. H. P. Westbrook, Colorado, chairman; John W. Robinson, Illinois; secretary; Roscoe C. Simmons, Kentucky; George A. Watty, Maryland; T. G. Nutter, West Virginia; W. A. Thompson, Tennessee; A. L. Garvin, Kentucky. The resolution report follows: The twenty-first biennial session of Knights of Pythias, North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, convened in the chamber of the house of representatives, capitol building, Topeka, Kan., Aug. 19, 1921, hereby expresses its profound gratitude to Almighty God for the manifold blessings of peace and prosperity throughout Pythian borders, recognizes the ever increasing power and commanding influence that our republic holds among the world's foremost nations, heartily approves the conference called by the president of the United States to discuss a disarmament program and pledges anew our loyalty to American ideals and purposes. We desire, further, to express our grateful recognition of the rising tide of the moral conscience of our country. The president's fine delivery against lynching in his first message to congress, the attitude of the gov- ernors of several states in expressing the systems of peonage, offering protection to unfortunate Negroes accused of crime, denying extradition where it is apparent the ends of justice did not warrant it; together, with the recent pronouncement against lynching, mobs, and all other unlawful procedure delivered by the Federal Council of the Churches of Jesus Christ, representing practically all Protestantism; not to underestimate the ever increasing number of editors of leading magazines and newspapers in each section of our land; these with courageous utterances from pulpits, public forums and legislative halls, clearly indicate that America will be delivered from the shame of these barbaric and inhuman mobs. The authority to make and administer just laws which prescribe an adequate punishment for any and all crimes, marks a nation's power and strength. The impartial administration of the laws with not prejudicial favor or bias is the fundamental safe guard of society and the bulwark of every man's life, limb and property. All government is predicated on law and order. The mobs, the Ku Klux Klan, etc., are indicative of national weakness, the failure of a government, the demoralization of Christian civilization—a return to primeval savagery and barbarism. It is not ours to condone crime, apologize for the vicious and brutal, not to protect the criminal, but we are apprehensive of the nation's failure, so long as the crowd is permitted to take the life of any man with impunity. In this condition, no man's life, whether of this or that race, is safe. We love our America, and have proven our loyalty in blood and treasures upon all the nation's battlefields. Whenever or wherever the nation's champions have marched forth, we have been in line, where they have fought we have struggled, and paid the last tribute of fealty and devotion. No cause whatsoever can be dear to any loyal American that is not dear to us. Therefore, be it Resolved, That the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, appeal to His Excellency, Honorable Warren G. Harding, President of these United States, to the members of congress, to the governor of each state, as well as judges of the courts, to treat all American citizens with humane consideration, guarantee equal justice before the law; and we further challenge the entire citizenship to create an atmosphere of moral righteousness in which the mob, the Ku Klux Klan and kindred organizations, cannot exist. Resolved, That we appeal to congress to pass such legislation as will make lynching a federal crime. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be sent to the president of the United States, to the members of congress, to the governor of each state, to the Associated Press, the Negro press and spread on our journal. London, Aug. 29.—Absolute race equality, both physical, political and social, as a foundation for advancement is the claim set forth in a manifesto to the world today by the Pan-African Congress, now in session here. Various peoples of Afrtecan descent in the United States, the West Indies, Central and South America and Africa are represented. An Indian, Saklatrala Chio, prospective labor candidate for Parliament from Battersea, conveyed greetings to the delegates in the name of the Indian race. UNDERTAKERS FOUND BOY'S BODY HEAVY Jerome Whitfield, Lynched By North Carolina Mob Had Body Full of Lead Thousand Shots Fired. Winston, N. C., Aug. 25.—Undertakers engaged in cutting down the body of Jerome Withfield from the tree where it was hanging and prepared it for burial, found that it was twice its normal weight. Investigation showed Withfield to have been literally shot to pieces. Hundreds of bullets penetrated the body but many hundreds of others remained embedded in the flesh and bone. A mob, estimated at from 1,500 to 2,000 hung Withfield to a tree by the roadside near here and then riddled his body with a thousand bullets. Withfield was charged with having assaulted the wife of a white farmer. When he got word early that he was suspected of the crime, he made an attempt to escape. Members of the mob used bloodhounds to track him, however. He was placed in an automobile and rushed to the home of the allyeged assault victim. Some members of the mob say he was identified and others say he was not. It didn't make any difference; they were out for blood but heeded the woman's request not to lynch him in her back yard and they took him a mile down the road further.

J., in which that official stated he would take all possible action to thwart the progress of the Ku Klux Klan. The letter reads as follows: "I wish to take this occasion of acknowledging the letter of Aug. 6th sent to me by the committee of the Mitchel Davis Post, No. 182, protesting against the organization of a branch of the Ku Klux Klan in this city. "In reply to your letter I wish to advise your committee that as long as I remain mayor of the city of Trenton I will take every possible action to prevent the usurpation of any citizen's rights and privileges, regardless of race, creed or color. Likewise, I shall use all my official power to thwart the progress of any organization designed to upset the friendly relations that exist in Trentan between our white and colored citizens. I am strongly against the promotion of any agency that may create interracial distrust or friction and your committee may rely upon my active support at all times to prevent the fomenting of such a condition in Trenton. "This is my position, and if you care to give this letter to the public press you are at liberty to do so. Very truly yours, FREDERICK W. DONNELLY, Mayor. Oust Professor Kerlin for Letter to Arkansas Governor The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today announced receipt of news that Robert T. Kerlin, professor of English at Virginia Military Institute, and author of "The Voice of the Negro," had been expelled from his position because of a letter he wrote to the governor of Arkansas asking him to review the cases of the Negro farmers sentenced to death in connection with the Arkansas riots. In the letter Professor Kerlin wrote to the governor of Arkansas, he stated that the Negro farmers of Arkansas were the victims of peonage; that they had neither instigated nor begun the riots, as was shown in the trial before the Arkansas Supreme Court; that they had armed themselves only after being threatened and molested, and that the convicted Negro farmers had been tortured by whipping and an electric chair during their trials to make them testify as the white landlords wanted them to. "The time will yet come," said Professor Kerlin's letter, "when the world with full knowledge of this will be revolted by such Congo barbarity." Because of his championship of these victims of Arkansas "justice," Professor Kerlin was handed a resolution passed by the Board of Visitors of Virginia Military Institute, asking for his immediate resignation. Professor Kerlin refused to resign and the Board of Visitors thereupon passed another resolution depriving him of his professorship. FOREIGN The Rev.

Troop C has already received about forty finely trained cavalry horses from the War Department, and sixty more are expected soon. Battery A is to be equipped with the very best field artillery, also from the nation's War Department. Both of these army units did splendid service during the great Pueblo flood, and their usefulness locally and for the state is sure to be up to the highest military standard. The armory is to be fashioned after the armory at Philadelphia, and will cost $100,000 or more. A new cave of vast proportions has been discovered about five miles southwest of Victor, in Fremont county. It is believed by persons who have explored it partially that the cave probably extends a mile or more. The cavern is in the carboniferous lime formation and not far from the juncture of Wilson and High creeks. Spacious halls, with beautiful stalactite and stalagmite formations pillaring their walls run far off into the echoing and unexplored distance. Abrupt cliffs in the floors make exploring extremely difficult. A rock thrown over one of these dark abysses did not reach bottom for eight seconds. The body of an unidentified man, who probably had been murdered, was found partially wrapped in a sack a few miles beyond Vineland on the Santa Fé trail east of Pueblo. One bullet hole in the head and another through the body were found. The man was well dressed, about five feet ten inches high, weighed about 200 pounds and about 40 or 45 years of age. A fedora hat bore a mark of a Pawnee, Okla., dealer, and in the man's pocket was found a token from the Ford garage at Fowler, Colo. Revenue collections from Colorado for the 1921 fiscal year were $33,960,861.21 in comparison with $35,727,957.26 for 1920. This is a decrease of 5 per cent compared with the 15 per cent decrease for the entire country. The Colorado collections were divided between $25,084,574.17 from income and profits' taxes, and $8,876,287.04 from miscellaneous taxes. Only thirteen states showed increased collections, a 24 per cent in West Virginia being the largest. The use of army airplanes for fire protection in western forests will be discontinued next summer, Secretary Weeks announced, because "the larger reduction now being made in appropriations" permitted expenditures "for only the most necessary strictly military needs." Mr. Weeks made this statement in a letter to Secretary Wallace, who had asked for army aid in protecting timber lands in the West. Denver employés of the Colorado & Southern railroad will hold their eleventh annual picnic on Sunday, Sept. 4. at Idaho Springs. More than 1,200 employée and members of their families are expected to attend. Many new and novel exhibits from far eastern and southern states are announced as coming to this year's Colorado State Fair at Pueblo, while there will be entertaining features never before seen in the West. The Loveland Chamber of Commerce has started an advertising campaign for the city. Five thousand folders of the free camping ground are being issued, and 10,000 small booklets with scenes of Loveland and Estes Park will be issued this winter. More signs will be posted along the roads leading to Loveland, and special news feature articles will be sent to various trade publications of the country. Edith Pinnello, 18-months-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Pinello, ranchers at Skimmers, Colo., was drowned when she fell in a horse trough. Her parents did not find her until some time later and immediately summoned two Colorado Springs physicians, who made a record run to the ranch, eight miles away, and applied a pulmotor. Efforts to revive the child proved futile. One of the largest real estate deals in eastern Colorado was closed when George Waters of Kit Carson traded his 2,577-acre ranch, 2,300 head of cattle and all personal property to the Siemens brothers of Colorado Springs for income property in that city. The city property was put in at $75,000, while the land was valued at $30 an acre. Frank J. Hagenbarth, president of the National Wool Growers' Association, which held a joint meeting at Salt Lake with the American National Live Stock Association, declared in an address that the present will be the last "bad year" for stockmen in that conditions are becoming stabilized. He asserted that the live stock men could look with confidence to the future. So many improvements have beer made and new buildings constructed on the State Fair grounds that it will not look like the same place when the 1921 fair opens on Sept. 26 at Pueblo.

Postmaster General Hays says. Accountants and post office engineers are now checking through the entire country to learn if the parcel post is, as suspected, one of the two big losing ventures of the department. Until 1920 postal revenues exceeded expenditures for several years, but now deficits are showing, due to business depression, increased wages and increased compensation to railroads for carrying mail. OIL-BEARING shale in the United States is capable of supplying all of the country's demands for petroleum when the supply of crude oil is exhausted. This announcement is contained in a report of the bureau of mines. Oil shale up to the present time has not been mined on a commercial scale in this country. Since the middle of the last century oil shale mining has been an important origin of oil in Scotland and France. Rich and easily accessible deposits of the oil-bearing shale are said to exist in Colorado, Utah, Montana, Nevada and California, where some shale oil already has been produced and used successfully. Several small reducing plants have been in operation for some time, and others are under construction near Debeque, Colo.; Watson, Utah; Elko, Nev., and Dillon, Mont. Tests indicate that the yield of oil shale is all the way from practically nothing up to ninety gallons or more a ton. Much shale is too thin to be mined commercially, but there are extensive deposits running from several feet to 35 feet in thickness. "It is estimated by the geological survey," says the report. "that the curve of crude oil production will reach its peak within a few years, and then the country will have to look more and more to other sources for PLANS TO GUARD MAINT BIG FLOODS IN COLORADO ENGINEERS of the federal reclamation service have completed a preliminary report, based on a hasty, tentative survey, on flood prevention for the city of Pueblo and the Arkansas river valley. A copy of the report has been received by Secretary of the Interior Fall, and a second copy has been sent to the mayor of Pueblo. The engineers, James Munn and J. L. Sayage of the Denver reclamation office, have suggested several different plans and combinations of plans for flood prevention which would entail estimated costs ranging from $9,000,-000 to $17,500,000. One plan for the Arkansas river calls for flood detention storage of 210,000 acre feet with such repairs to present levees and channel as are required to provide a safe capacity of 25,000 second feet through Pueblo. Another plan provides for the en- A MOVEMENT asking congress to shift burdensome taxes from the people to nonalcoholic beer has been started throughout the country. Congress is urged to have the revenue bill provide for the manufacture and sale of beer containing 2.75 per cent alcohol, and in that way raise from $1,000,000,000 to $1,250,000,000 in taxes, and the proposition is being seriously considered. --- A serious effort has been made to get Prohibitionists to agree to a tax of $10 per barrel on "nonintoxicating cereal beverages containing not more than $24 per cent of alcohol by weight." The suggested legislation, it is argued, would not violate the spirit of the eighteenth amendment, but in effect amend the Volstead act by killing the provision prohibiting the manufacture of beer with an alcoholic content in excess of one-half of one per cent. A bill, or an amendment to that effect, will be introduced in the house to be considered when the regular revenue bill is taken up. Prof. Edwin R. Seligman, professor of political economy at Columbia uni- # "The parcel post system is a commercial venture pure and simple," Mr. Hays said. "There is every reason, therefore, why it should be made at least self-supporting. This does not hold true of some other services of the post office, which necessarily must be accomplished at a loss." Mr. Hays explained why a deficit is expected this year and gave an itemized statement showing where and how the department plans to reduce operating costs by nearly $15,000,000. "For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1920," he said, "the deficit was $17,000,000. For the fiscal year ending June 30, 1921, the deficit will be found to be approximately $84,000,000 when the reports are all available. "Of this, about $75,000,000 was due to increase in compensation ordered by congress to employees and $11,000,000 was additional pay to railroads under interstate commerce decisions. "Since April 1 there has been a serious falling off of post office business and in consequence receipts, but economies have been instituted which prevent any deficit other than that for increased wages and railroad rates." OIL SHALE TO SUPPLY U.S. IF WELLS DRY its various grades of hydrocarbon oils. "It is entirely possible that foreign oil fields, not extensively exploited as yet, will supply the deficit caused by declining production and increasing consumption in the United States for a time. "When foreign oils cannot be obtained in sufficient quantities and at reasonable prices we can turn to our oil shales for our supply." "More than 150 companies have been organized for the purpose of developing or selling stock in shale oil enterprises. Some apparently are essentially stock-selling organizations. Others have been organizing on a firm basis. "Large amounts will have to be invested before the oil shale industry becomes of commercial importance. "Estimates by engineers of the cost of a complete retorting plant, handling 1,000 tons of shale a day, are between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000. largement of the channel through Pueblo and for a concrete channel. Bank protection is one of four plans suggested for Fountain creek. The engineers make it plain that their present recommendations are based on fragmentary data available at this time and that complete study of the problems involved will require much more time and more accurate hydrographic and topographic data than is now at hand and also much detailed engineering work. They found a dearth of accurate topographic and other essential data on which to base even a preliminary study. All the alternative plans which include flood detention storage with possible use of the Steel Hollow reservoir site, would benefit property interests in the Arkansas valley below Pueblo, while the alternative plan embracing only channel enlargement or bank protection through Pueblo would not protect property interests in the valley below Pueblo. "Due to the limited storage possibilities and as a very little, if any, water is available for storage in the Arkansas river above Pueblo, there does not appear to be any project of developing irrigation storage with economy in conjunction with flood detention storage," reads the report. versity, testifying before the finance committee of the senate, made an impression when he said: "We must remember that had we not adopted prohibition we should be getting at least $1,000,000,000 we will not get under the existing law." Asked if he favored the repeal of the prohibition law, Professor Seligman replied: "No, sir; although I should be glad to see it so interpreted as to permit the sale and the heavy taxation of beer and light wines. That would help us out immensely." Practical experts have estimated that between 90,000,000 and 120,000,000 barrels of beer would be consumed if it contained $2\%$ per cent of alcohol. ONE IN FOUR WAS UNABLE TO READ ILLITERACY OF AMERICA WAS REVEALED IN THE WORK OF MAKING OUR BIG ARMY. CONDITION WAS A SURPRISE Utterances of General Pershing and Commissioner Tigert Arouse Anew Efforts to Have Federal Department of Education Created. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Recent words uttered by Gen. John J. Pershing and by Dr. L. Tigert, United States commissioner of education, have roused interest again in the proposal to create a department of education with a cabinet officer at its head to be added to the other departments of government. President Harding is committed to a department of welfare. One of the stumbling blocks in the way of securing the legislation to create such a department was the efforts of some of the educators to prevent the inclusion of education in the field of the department of welfare activities. Many of the educators wanted and still want a separate department of education. Gen. Leonard Wood, for several years made a campaign for better teachers, better pay for teachers, and better teaching facilities a general companion piece to his campaign for proper military preparedness. Hardly a speech that he delivered for two years but contained some reference to this matter. General Wood trained two divisions of American soldiers for service in France, and he had learned at first hand some of the startling conditions of illiteracy which existed in the ranks of young America. Now General Pershing has said that one man in every four who entered the American army was unable to read or write. He added that the officers of the service had their hard work much increased by the fact that many of their men could not read and that, lacking the development of even a primary education, they were not quickly susceptible to instruction. Tigert on Our Illiteracy. The words of General Pershing have been buttressed by the words of Doctor Tigert, who, among other things, has said this: "It has been declared that America, like Rome, will be destroyed by vandals from within, and not from without, through the forces of illiteracy. "One man out of every four in the American army could neither read nor write, but there was only one illiterate in 5,000 in the German army. No one can realize without seeing the seemingly impenetrable terrain of the Argonne forest what we owe to our soldiers, but it was a crime to send them in as they were against men of such literacy. I hope that there will never be another war, but if there is it will be a disgrace to the nation if our men are not better prepared, and it is the task of the schools to prepare them." Today Washington is told that before the war the United States spent more than any other nation on education, and that every state in the Union had laws requiring at least an education of an elementary kind, but it is said that the laws are not enforced and that only half of the children which the statutes require shall attend school actually are there. It is said now that during the war 16,000 teachers gave up teaching because the American people were unwilling to pay them enough to live on the average salary being $500 a year while in one state it was only $234. It is said to be increasingly difficult to get young women to enter the teaching profession. The other day it was said that the churches were having hard work to get young men to enter the ministry Poor Chance for Department. From the present outlook it seems probable that no department of education will be established by act of congress, and that the bureau of education will be included in the department of welfare, if it shall be created. Of course there is today a bureau of education, and it is doing its work with limited appropriations in the best way it can. There is no lack of heart effort, nor of physical hard work. It can be said that the disclosures made by the war that such a high percentage of illiteracy exists in the United States came as a shock to the law makers. The thing was impossible to believe, and yet the records proved the point. Prior to the war there was a general belief that the United States had a lower rate of illiteracy than any other great nation in the world. This was due, it was said, to misleading reports from the states in the Union, reports which were made on inadequate information. The 4,000,000 men who went into the service are called the flower of our youth, and yet it is a flower without education as one of its crowning beauties. It is held in Washington that if the war has done no other good, it probably accomplished something worth while because it forced Americans to know the true condition concerning the rate of illiteracy among the young men of the land. Every government which has been invited to participate in the forthcoming conference in Washington on disarmament and Far East problems has given over its demand for anything like a preliminary conference. If there had been insistence on a preliminary conference the United States would not have been that no conference at all would be held. There are constant streams of communications between the foreign offices of the various governments and the State department of this country. These streams will continue to flow until a short time before the gatherings of the chiefs of the clans which now definitely has been fixed for November 11. Armistice day. It is pretty generally believed now that a fair understanding of just what subjects will be discussed will be reached before the conference begins. There also is a belief that in a general way the State department will know in advance what the results of the conference are to be. The words which have come from Japan show pretty clearly what the attitude of the Japanese is, and in a fairly specific way one can judge of the attitude of Great Britain and France by what already has been made public concerning their "needs and desires in the case." Word has come from Great Britain that it has no intention further to urge a preliminary conference on matters pertaining to the Far East. It was known that the various premiers of the British dominions desired particularly to have some definite understanding in advance concerning the Pacific questions which are to be brought before the conference, but apparently the premiers have yielded. Objections to Preliminary Meet. It would have been impossible for all of the nations to have sent representatives to the preliminary conference. The United States government was wise enough to know that the unrepresented nations would object strongly to having the other countries arrange a program in advance to which the unrepresented ones might not agree. Furthermore, if representatives of some of the nations were given an opportunity to pass on certain questions in advance, a country like Japan or Italy, not being represented at the preliminary conference, would have some reason to say that the other countries which were represented at it had stacked the cards against it. The State department now is calling together a large body of experts on foreign affairs. Some of them are coming from the Far East, some of them from Europe, and some of them from South America. They are all men who know the economic problems and some of the diplomatic problems of the countries in which they have been residing, and where in many cases they have been representing Uncle Sam's interests. Herrick Can't Find a Residence. The ambassador of the United States to France, Myron T. Herrick, is having a time of it trying to find a plece in the French capital to lay his head. There are no residences to let. If the United States had a residence for its ambassador or its minister in each capital of the world, the appointee could go directly to it knowing that at least he would have a place to live. The United States government does not do things this way. Mr. Herrick, generally is accounted a rich man, but the riches of men frequently are exaggerated. Mr. Herrick unquestionably is well to do. If he were not, the United States government might have wanted to send him to France as its ambassador, but he could not have taken the job although qualified for it, and beloved of the French people as unquestionably he is. Paris is overcrowded today because there were no building operations during the war. There is not a vacant place at this writing which Mr. Herrick can find to turn into his abode. The ambassador has to live, and moreover he is absolutely compelled to entertain. If today he wishes to give a reception he will have to hire a salon in a hotel, or else ask the municipal authorities' permission to hold an outdoor hand-shaking party in the Place de la Concorde. Congress Will Not Remedy It. No session of congress has been held in many years at which there was not some senator or member to propose in bill form that the United States provide at least lodging houses for its ministers and ambassadors to foreign countries. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, one-time member of the house of representatives and recently governor of his home state, tried during the entire time that he was in congress to get action upon this matter. He failed where others failed before his time, and where several have failed since his time. It is perhaps happy for Myron T. Herrick that he is an optimist. Mr. Herrick probably would be cheerful if he were compelled to seek lodging in the morgue on the Seine back of the Cathedral of Notre Dame. He unquestionably is taking the situation philosophically, and when he finds a place that he can hire to live in, he probably will pay the big sum necessary out of his own pocket without so much as a grimace. Every other minister and ambassador of the United States is in the same fix that Mr. Herrick is in, so far as paying for his own roof tree is concerned, and some of them probably do not take the self-compelled payment thereof with as good grace as does this philosopher of Cleveland. Jud Tunkins says every boy would be keen for the classics if Hector and Achilles had put on the gloves and had the kind of a mixup that could be described on the sport page. Phone Main 4843 J.

HE. proclamation issued on the 29th of August by Governor Oliver TL a Shoup calling upon the people to give general observance to “Labor Day” next Monday, sets forth the following reasons why all gainful occupations should cease and the day dedicated to the dignity ef liber: “The Interests of labor are so closely Interwoven with the interests of all other classes in the community that it would be most fitting If the citizen- ship generally would participate in the ceremonies and celebrations of the day, to the end that better understandings may be developed and better feel- ing may be engendered between the citizenry of the state, for there is an inter: dependence of interest involved that demands the most tolerant and kindly treatment on the part of every citizen of the commonwealth, There is indeed a most Hberal sermon contained in the foregoing state: ments of our governor, Labor can no longer be looked upon as a thing apart from society. It iy admittedly the very fundation upon which our social he- ing rests and all continued, substantial progress is necessarily co-existent with the contestment and prosperity of labor, And it is chiefly through the ageney of wise conservative organization that lubor has come inte such high recog: nition, ‘There are those among the big labor leaders of the world who con- tend that aside from the religion of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, that organized labor has done more to elevate humanity and alleviate suffering than any other agency, We are not prepared to dispute the claim, stupendous as it may seem, This we do know, however, that organized labor has its abuses as well as its uses, Herein lies the danger; here is where the en- visioned leadership of those who would lift and dignify labor to its highest point must assert itself, Then, again, labor must constantly look through clear glasses. Tt must see men and not races, it must be moved by the actual- ity of the greatest good to the greatest number and not be halted by the bar- rier of color prejudice, Last June the American Federation of Labor held its annual convention in this city, ‘There were some sixteen colored delegates present who proved to be representatives of the highest order. ‘They added to the weight and cosmopolitan greatness of the whole body. We believe that they returned to their homes with a more comprehensive knowledge of what organized labor stunds for, In a sense, Lubor Day is not a national holiday though generally observed at the same ‘time by every state in the Union. However, its yearly approach will be the more eagerly looked for, its advent will carry higher and higher significance, only to the extent that organized labor meets the weight of its responsibilities, discharges its bounden duty. to society und does its part in the solving of the world’s perplexing problems.

First, the thankfulness to the Creator for thelr existence haying been spared to meet again after such an interval; and the gladness exhibited and expressed in the hearty handshakes, ete., appear to create a jealousy in the old school buildings as they reflect the sounds of the voices of the children in a greater and sweeter form, indicating a welcome of their return, as the sounding-boards remaining in an apparent inanimate condition during vaca- tion become animated from the footseps passing o'er them day by day as the exercises which cause them to respond cheerfully with their echoing tones to the beautiful singing In the classrooms are entered upon, The pleasure attendant with the return to school is almost indescribable, as it has a particular feeling common only to the tutor and the student, and this brings us face to face with an obligation on the part of parents to foster their children in the idea of the love for school. ‘The years in the public, then the high, stretching into the college and university appear wearisome at a glance und some there are who harp and worry over this duration, bat with the flight of time the long waiting is minimized and the goal of success is, at- tained in a comparatively short time. ‘There are many of our boys and girls who started out with -brilliant posst- bilities before them, but in some cases lack of parental support imbuing them with perserverance in thelr work, has caused them to grow weary and the misfortune of stopping short overtakes them, In our offering some help to the children we are glad to say that we have glways taken a keen interest in the education of the young and take more than ordinary pride in the same as we have a responsibility of our own; ind our advice to them is persevere and persist in the manly undertaking of get- ting educated, as education is one of the great agencies that will help to break down the walls of prejudice, lessen the increase of crime, stem the tide of evil and make surmountable the obstructions that seem hard to overcome, Study and work, work and study, and when you shall have finished your course successfully you will not only win the plaudits of your parents, friends and acquaintances, but the world will recognize In you a valuable factor con- tributing to its progress and benefitting humanity. ‘Toil on, therefore, and in your toil rejoice, and do not forget that:— “A little learning is a dangerous thing; Drink deep or taste not the Pyerian spring, For shallow draughts intoxicate the brain, i But drinking deeper sobers us again.” CHEYENNE, WYO, NEWS T 1 meting of the Cheyenne A Civic League of Colored People on Aug. 1S, renurks were nade commendable to the character and service of Hey, J.

And not sat- isfied with these preeautions the gov- emor ordered troops armed with ma- chine guns to defend the Jail against a recurrence of the attempt. At Knoxville, Tenn., following a sim- ilar repulse by deputies, unfortunately with bloodshed, of a mob which had attempted to take a Negro from the jail, the entire local police force and a state troop were detailed to preserve order This is the stern employment of the armed agencies of the law to uphold the supremacy of the law, and the honors are easy as between the seuth- ern and the northern state in the vin- dication of their dignity. In each in- stance the public authorities acted with promptness and energy to sup: press lawlessness, and it was sup- pressed. Against sueh a spirit of de- votion to duty mob violence can make no headway. Lynchings depend ordi- narily for their success on the compli- ance or cowardliness of the jail cus- todians, and where instead of a deter- mined resistance is encountered the attempt is certain to be frustrated. The simultaneous application in the North and South of this true princi- ple of dealing with the mob spirit will be commended wherever ideals of law and order are cherished. ¢ ‘ 1 3 sea CHRONIC GROVCHES - _- - & Hendrix. . | RENT OG SING ME THE SONGS: VHenRy } — eR enone | ES SUSE) Ge — <8 eg ces) caer ee Oo) soles — ——— LJ == (HENRY! ~~ (Sune oN ie) 8 (eee oe | Coe pati oy LE) wi iON _ by, ( & 4 t= WUS QUT?

Beginning at 7 a. m., with a confirmation class and holy communion, then a breakfast in the vicarage at 8:30 at which Bishop Ingley and Mr. Winnie, a prominent churchman of the cathedral, were guests of honor. At 10 o'clock a conference of the men of the church was held and presided over by Mr. Winnie. At the regular 11 o'clock service Bishop Ingley preached to a capacity audience. Taking all in all it was one of the most impressive services ever held in the Redeemer. Father Rahming is to be congratulated on the splendid showing made at these meetings. Aaron Stan, Mary L. Stan and George Brakanich are charged with making threats and disturbance in an information sworn to before Deputy District Attorney Ben L. Pollock yesterday by Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Ballard, colored. The Ballards told Pollock that they had recently moved into the house at 4440 Fillmore street, and that since then they have been the subject of numerous threatening telephone calls. The white folk of the neighborhood at first demanded that the Ballards move away, according to Mrs. Ballard, and then openly threatened them if they failed to do so. The three persons named in the complaint are responsible for all the disturbance created over the issue, and have gone further in making threats than have the other neighbors, Mrs. Ballard alleged.

Like Tennyson's book apparently there is no end. Every week brings new stunts, new thrills and new tourists. Each week has its own climax, its own peculiar zenith and "not one star differeth from another star in glory." Yet what of this social gayety, this array of teas, dancing, parties, dinners, outings and breakfasts, that have become so essentially a part of the summer life in Denver? Ours is the open gateway to visitors from far and near during twelve months in the year. But it is chiefly in the summer months, the regularly designated tourist season, that Denver becomes the great social "fueling pot." It is then that we become the Mecca of endless pilgrimages from all parts of the country. It is remarkable how many different states and cities may be represented at a single function. It may be safely said that Denver's summer social calendar is reflectory of the beautiful home life, the incomparable western hospitality and the day spring of friendships that often lasts through a life time. An auto party with the Mrs. Charley Barns and Lillian Horn as hostess, was royally entertained at dinner at Stanley hotel, Estes Park, Thursday, August 26, by Mr. Curtis Harris and Frank Dixon, both of Denver. The party returned highly elated over their Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Anderson of East Thirtieth avenue entertained most lovely at a card party last Monday night in honor of Mrs. Anna Baptiste of Pasadena, Calif. About forty persons enjoyed an evening of varied amusements and an elegant repast. The home of Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Anderson, 2415 Ogden street, was the scene of an unusually brilliant party Sunday afternoon from 4 to 6, which was attended by 150 persons. These Sunday afternoon receptions have been the popular form of entertainment this summer, and the one by Mrs. Anderson was in keeping with the high standard established. E. A. Williams, M.D., of Cincinnati, Ohio, is a visitor in Denver. Besides being editor of "The Brotherhood," Dr. Williams is president of the Fraternal Mutual Benevolent Association; Sitting Past Supreme Chancellor K. of P.; Supreme Protector and Dictator United Knights and Ladies of Honor. He was royally entertained last night by the Knights of Pythias. THE COLORADO STATESMAN is pleased to observe the constant growth and prosperity of the Santa Fe Lumber Company, located at First and Santa Fe drive. We enjoy a personal acquaintance with the officers of this company and no finer set of men can be found for square dealing and fair treatment. The officers are: J. Hamilton, president; E. H.

Office, 2626 Welton St. FIRST NATIONAL BANK Who's Who at the First National THE COUNTRY BANK The COUNTRY BANK is a sluice-gate in the financial irrigation system. Thru it flows the stream of gold which finances agriculture, stock-raising, mining and all forms of primary production. Most of the thirty thousand banks of the United States are COUNTRY BANKS, intimately identified with the needs of their respective localities. No other American business institution has done more to develop the nation. "The winning of the West" would have been impossible without the COUNTRY BANK. Fifty-six years ago, when Denver was only a frontier settlement, The First National began life as a COUNTRY BANK. Today one of its most necessary functions is to act as a depository for more than TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY other banks in the Rocky Mountain region, with balances in this institution constantly aggregating many, many millions of dollars, and assist them in meeting the seasonal demands of the interests served by the COUNTRY BANK. In more than one national economic crisis, The First National has been the abundant financial reservoir behind the COUNTRY BANK. We invite you to open an account with us and share the safety and all-around service, which have thus won the confidence and patronage of the banking fraternity itself. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK One Dollar opens a savings account. Any Reasonable Sum opens a checking account. Member Federal Reserve Bank System. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. Secretary Thomas J. Bell, who has been confined to his room for more than two weeks, has been dismissed by the doctor and is out again. The secretary wishes to thank the good people for the many deeds of good-will and kindness which they showed during his illness. In speaking of it to a caller a few days ago Mr. Bell said: "The interest and expressions of good-will manifested by the neighbors and friends while I was sick shall never be forgotten by me. If it ever fell to the lot of any patient to receive better treatment from his friends, the fact by some curious circumstance has never been recorded. So kind were they, and so attentive, that had I permitted they would have kept my table piled up with food and fruit to such an extent that I should have never wanted to look at it again. I shall ever bear them in mind for the goodness they have shown me." With the passing of the month the boys are perforce turning their minds towards school. They are trying, however, to make good of the few days still remaining. The tennis players are having their fun on the splendid court at the Y. W., and the croquet fans are as enthusiastic as ever. The game was enlivened (if it is possible to make it more so) last week by the entrance of the Lightner boys for the first time this season. King, Starr, Blakemore, Sims, Stripling and Mason are all contending, and it is difficult to say who is leading. Townsend is also making them take notice. If there is any one who wants a good drubbing, there are those aplenty who are able and willing to administer it. OBITUARY RECORD Of the Cammel Undertaking Company.

I'm thinking of you, mother, Altho you've gone away, And entered into Heaven To wait for me some day. I'm thinking of you, mother, And of the songs you use to sing, Which was the sweetest music; Within me your voice rings. I'm thinking of you, mother, And the day that I left home, Of how you pleaded with me And begged me not to roam. I'm thinking of you, mother, Oh! how I wish you were here, I can scarcely keep from crying When I think of you so dear. —By Wm. Copeland, August 17, 1921.

Supposed Site of Garden of Eden Included in Territory of Kingdom of Irak. SLICE TAKEN FROM TURKEY Under British Mandate and Arabian Rule the Section, Better Known as Mesopotamia, is Expected to Regain Former Glory. Washington.—The impending addition of a new member to the family of nations—the kingdom of Irak, to function under a British mandate—is mentioned in recent dispatches from London. How this "new" country is in reality one of the oldest and most historic patches of the earth's surface is told in the following bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society: "Irak has existed as a geographical name for ages," says the bulletin, "but in recent centuries it has had little more official sanction than 'Manhattan' for the American metropolis or 'Frisco' for a thriving Pacific port. Yet it covers more or less indefinitely a region known, and often famous, in every age of man from the dawn of tradition to the present—the fertile plain of the Tigris and Euphrates valleys, where the Garden of Eden is supposed by many students to have been situated. Strip Irak of its alias; call it Babylon — Nlneveh—Mesopotamia, and it is known to every school child. "The country which it is proposed to erect into the practically independent kingdom of Irak was placed under the mandate of Great Britain on the breaking up of the Turkish empire following the World war, and was generally spoken of as 'the mandate for Mesopotamia.' "It is difficult to exaggerate the agricultural paradise that might be built up in the lower valley of the two rivers, supplemented by the mineral wealth taken from the regions farther north, if the country were under a strong government, were peopled by alert, educated inhabitants, and if the necessary capital and modern machinery were available. Even with the factors as they are, the British, who will continue to hold the mandate, and the Arabians who will be in immediate charge of the government, are counting on the rise of a state which may be compared without disadvantage with some of the great governments that have occupied the land in the past. "To gain an idea of what wonderful development can be brought about in Mesopotamia, one need only look into the past. At the beginning of history the plain of the Tigris and Euphrates was a garden-spot teeming with a well-fed and wealthy people. If there was a 'grandeur' that was Greece and a glory that was Rome' there was as truly a splendor that was Babylon. And the splendor of Babylon was made possible 6,000 years ago largely by the wealth that sprang from the intensive cultivation of the river plain under a gigantic system of irrigation which even the most ambitious modern systems probably have failed in many ways to surpass. "Babylon's agricultural Utopia was not a short-lived affair, but continued for nearly ten times as long as the period which has passed since white men settled in America. The country throve with only minor interruptions under Babylonians, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Greeks and Romans.

Splendid, Gay, Wicked Bagdad. "Under the Abbassid Caliphus, with a combination of Arabic and Persian culture, Bagdad was founded on the Tigris in the very center of the river plain—the splendid, gay, wicked Bagdad of the Arabian Nights. Mesopotamia's prosperity, though much less, was still relatively great, and Bagdad was for awhile the metropolis of the world, its inhabitants at one time numbering 2,000,000 souls. "When the Turks got possession of the Caliphate and carried its seat to the west, Bagdad withered; and under Turkish rule the Tigris and Euphrates valley entered into its darkest period. Only a small percentage of the rich valley has for generations produced any crops. "After the Young Turks came into power in 1908 reclamation work was undertaken in the Tigris and Euphrates plain and some headway was made. Since the British occupied Bagdad in 1917 this work has been carried much farther. "It is planned under the new Arab state and the mandate to continue the work of rejuvenating the country's ancient irrigation system. But there is a Herculean task to be accomplished before 'the Garden of Eden' blooms again. It was estimated before the World war that the ambitious project of the Turks to reclaim 3,500,000 acres would cost $130,000,000. The total area that might be irrigated is placed at about 12,500,000 acres." Study W Better Noted Chemists in Conference to Discuss Improved Processes of Tanning. LOWER PRICES MAY RESULT Plan to Hasten Tanning Process Without Sacrificing Quality—Prominent Foreign Chemists to Take Part in Meeting. New York.—Shoe prices may trend downward as a result of new processes of tanning based on studies of electrical discharges and other unusual factors, which will be discussed by the leather chemistry section of the American Chemical society. The notable progress made in American tanning has gained such recognitions abroad that sessions of the section will be attended by the largest number of European leather chemists which has ever come at one time to the United States. Some of these experts will also attend the meeting of the Society of Chemical Industry of Great Britain, which, after convening with its Canadian section, will cross the border to confer with its American branch and to hold a joint session with the American Chemical society. The leather chemistry section of the American Chemical society will meet at Columbus university. At its session will be discussed revolutionary methods by which the tanning or nides can be hastened without the sacrifice of quality. The saving of time and the releasing of large sums of money from its investment in raw material thus would have the tendency to stabilize and, perhaps, eventually to lower leather prices, American chemists believe. One of the marked influences in the sessions will be that of Alfred Sey- old Gathered Here Loneliest British Isle Has No Laws.

Henry Martyn Rogers, curate in charge at Alexent, Uppingham, Rutland, and his wife have volunteered to go to Britain's loneliest possession, Tristan da Cunha. a little island in the South Atlantic, to act as priest and schoolmaster. There are 119 inhabitants of the island, which is 1,512 miles west of Cape-town and is visited only once a year by a British warship, and on remote occasions by passing vessels. The islanders have no laws and know no crime. They do not barter, and during the whole of last year the only sum of money on the island was 5s. Tea, cocoa and flour are rare delicacies. Homestead, Pa.—An eagle gave battle to Mrs. George Williams of this city and Mrs. B. Ruffing of Greensburg, when the two women attacked the big bird after it had seized Mrs. Williams' two-and-a-half-year-old daughter and was about to fly away with the child in its talons. Mrs. Ruffing, armed with a club, came to the aid of Mrs. Williams, and the two, after several minutes of desperate battle, forced the bird to flight, though it hovered menacingly over them for some time.

He co-operated with Lord Allerton in forming the leather industries department of the University of Leeds, long reputed to be the greatest leather school in the world. Foreign Chemists to Appear. Another prominent figure in the leather industry of Great Britain, who will address the section, is Joseph Turney Wood. He is the discoverer of processes of tanning in which pancreatin is used instead of the crude and obnoxious mixtures employed by the old-time journeymen tanners. Mr. Wood was the first secretary of the Society of Leather Trades Chemists. Some of the noted foreign chemists whose papers will be read if they cannot appear in person are Prof. H. R. Procter, affectionately known as the father of leather chemistry, who was long identified with the University of Leeds; Dr. E. Schell of Havre, France, and Fini Enna of Copenhagen, Denmark. How tanning as a science has advanced in recent years is shown by the fact that among those who are to address the leather chemistry section, is Dr. Jacques Loeb, a noted American biologist connected with the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Original and novel methods of tanning based upon the studies of electricity will be described by John Arthur Wilson of Milwaukee, chairman of the leather chemistry section. His discoveries have been termed revolutionary. His researches have shown the reasons for the chemical changes which take place in the tanning process as distinguished from methods which rested merely upon ancient traditions. Although tanning is one of the oldest arts in the world, it has not come under control of scientific research to the extent that many other industries have. It is expected that the papers of Mr. Wilson and of other leather chemists of the pioneer class will cause an earnest and heated discussion. Studying Electrical Discharges. closely associated with Mr. Wilson in his investigations is Prof. Arthur W. Thomas, who is making important studies of the relation of electrical discharges of materials used in tanning to the manufacture of leather. His laboratory is in Haveneyer hall, Columbus university, where the sessions of the leather chemistry section are to be held. In it is unique and costly equipment provided from a special fund given by a well-known Milwaukee tanner. The results of these researches are made available, however, for the entire tanning industry. On a bench in this laboratory, occupying an area of a square yard, is what is reputed to be the smallest tannery in the world. With it complicated processes of tanning are perfectly conducted although on a miniature scale. Dvinsk, Latvia.—Hundreds of families in the war-devastated territory about Dvinsk are still living in the dugouts used by German and Russian soldiers in the early days of the war. Little or no progress toward reconstruction has been made in the scores of razed villages because of the poverty of the people who for a long time after the war between Russia and Germany ended were under Bolshevils rule. D Charles A. Cox wanted a regular automobile, so his daddy sent to the factory and had one like his own built on a quarter-inch scale. Charles, who is only three and a half years old, is a member of the North Shore Motor club, and the youngest member of any motor club in Chicago. The automobile has a miniature four-cylinder engine, gear shifts, clutch, starter and transmission, and is a duplicate of a large-size car. MOTOR'S FRIEND IS BIG OIL CAN MOTOR'S FRIEND IS BIG OIL CAN Auto Owner Should Have Well- Filled Squirter and Squirt Lubricant Frequently. AVOID OVERHEATING ENGINE Make Careful Study of Lubricating Chart Which Goes With Car and Become Acquainted With Mechanism—Oil All Bearings. Some day I am going to write an essay about the "oil can." It will contain such phrases as "The Motorist's Best Friend"—"King of the Medicine Chest"—"A Friend in Need," etc., and every word will be true because the oil can ranks high among automobile accessories and is used only too seldom, says a writer in an exchange. Recently a friend who I had always considered a careful driver, invited me for a short run. He suddenly seemed to have changed from a careful driver to one of the most reckless. If any car happened to cross the street he would almost drive into it and then jam on the brakes. I noticed his strained expression, and asked him what was the trouble. "The throttle will insist on staying open," he replied, "and I have to hook my toe under the accelerator pedal to close it." Vistions of broken bell-cranks, bent rods, a broken spring or a tight bearing flashed through my mind. He stopped the engine and worked the accelerator while I traced the throttle action. The spring which operated the pedal ran along a guide and this part looked particularly dry. A few drops of oil from our faithful old friend, "the oil can," loosened the action so that the pedal worked freely once more. A few more drops on the bell-cranks and other joints and a complete cure was effected. Sometimes an engine overheats and the owner is perplexed. He is observing all the rules to prevent overheating—running with spark advanced, keeping on high gear, not letting the engine race and taking proper care of the pump and the rest of the cooling system. Investigation in one case disclosed that the fan belt was broken, in another that it was slipping. A selzed fan bearing was found to be the cause—and an expensive replacement might have been avoided by timely recourse to our little friend—the oil can. Such incidents could be multiplied almost indefinitely. Study the lubricating chart which goes with your car. Take up floor boards and become acquainted with the mechanism. Trace out the operating rods and connections and put oil wherever metal is in contact. Some bearings may be found to be inaccessible. In one car, which shall be nameless, the brake equalizing tubes under the body cannot be oiled from below except by an oil gun with a curved tip. Economy Not Worth While. I am sometimes asked if it will pay to use a cheaper oil in the oil can, instead of the expensive cylinder oil. Unquestionably a good lubricating oil for such purpose can be obtained for less money, one that will meet ordinary requirements. But economy in this respect is hardly worth while. If you have no chart with your machine, put oil on every bearing where there is no grease cup. Trace out the connections for clutch, brakes, accelerator, spark and throttle lever, and oil them frequently. Do not overlook fan bearings, starter and generator, magneto, or any other part of the mechanism. It will be time well spent. Replacement will be lessened and your maintenance expense reduced accordingly. GETTING CAR OUT OF MUD IS EASY MATTER Hitch Machine to Tree and Motor Does the Rest. Spool or Spindle Mounted on Front of Auto Is Rotated by Worm and Gear—Engine is Arranged to Wind Up Steel Cable. Roads in the country are by no means always in perfect condition. Every driver of an automobile who has attempted cross-country tours, especially after an extended period of rain, knows that the danger of becoming stalled in the mud is ever present. The device shown here, which is the work of an inventor in the southwestern part of Missouri, where muddy roads are frequent, offers an excellent suggestion. In front the car has a spool or spindle on a horizontal shaft on which a long piece of cable is coiled. The Another way of getting out of the mud: Hitch the car to a tree and the motor does the rest. spool can be rotated by a worm and gear, driven by the engine shaft. When the automobile becomes stalled in the mud, the cable is unwound, the free end is fastened to a tree, telegraph pole, or some other fixed object. The engine is coupled to the worm shaft and started, winding up the steel cable, thus effectually pulling the car out of the mud. $ \frac{1}{2} $ C. A. Briggs in Popular Science Monthly. DETERMINING LIFE OF TIRE Ordinarily the More Air the Longer It Will Last—Safe to Start With 20 Pounds. The life of a tire is the air it contains. The more air, ordinarily, the longer the life. Of course, there are exceptions, but it is a safe rule to start with 20 pounds of air pressure to the cross-section inch, and if more is needed, to add to it. Thus a three and a half-inch tire will require 70 pounds and a four-inch tire 80 pounds. Road, load and speed are determining factors in the pressure required.

THE CHILD'S FIRST EXPERIENCE WITH THE ELECTRIC CIRCUIT The Ease With Which a House Can Be Lighted Is the Principal Reason That Most People Put Electricity Into Their Homes. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Power on the farm has proved to be one of the greatest time and labor savers the farmer knows. Power in the home is one of the greatest of boons to the busy housewife, but a recent survey made by the United States Department of Agriculture in 10,000 homes in the Northern and Western states discloses the fact that but 15 per cent of the farm homes in the country have this advantage. Power for such frequently recurring tasks as sweeping, running the washing machine and churning would not only remove drudgery but save time and money as well. lines, central stations, or farm hydraulic plants taking current direct from the generator. It is usually supplied at 110 to 115 volts. Windmil electric plants may be of this voltage but on account of the relatively high battery investment, they are more likely to be of the 30 to 32-volt type. The engine-driven farm lighting and power plants, which are multiplying rapidly at present, are mostly of the 32-volt type; but many of the companies supply these plants operatin at 110 volts. Uses Almost Unlimited. The uses for electricity, or the task to which it can be applied about the farm home are almost unlimited. The time required to operate the churn, the separator, and the washing machine, and to do the ironing, the cleaning with the vacuum cleaner, and the pumping of water is made available for other things and not infrequently it has been possible to reduce the amount of hired help. Helps Solve Servant Problem. Today as never before is the need of labor-saving devices in the home being felt. The servant problem is rapidly becoming more serious. The increasing wages of household servants and washerwomen are approaching a point which the family of average means cannot meet. Through electricity, the tireless servant, is perhaps to be found the solution. Comparatively few of our farm homes today have electricity available. The number, however, is increasing rapidly, owing principally to the advent of the small farm lighting power plant. In addition to this means of supply, some farm homes are so situated that electricity can be obtained from high-power transmission lines that pass within a reasonable distance; others are near streams of water which may be developed as sources of energy for farm or community hydro-electric plants; while in some localities successful windmill electric generating plants have been the means of supply. Directions for conducting preliminary surveys to determine the possibilities of a particular stream have been given by the bureau of rural engineering of the United States Department of Agriculture and can be obtained for the asking. Where farm homes are supplied with electricity from transmission DRYING VEGETABLES AND FRUITS IN OVEN May Prove Convenient and Time- Saving Economy. Currants, Gooseberries and Strawber- ries Are Best Canned—Dried Parsley and Celery Tops Are Valuable for Seasoning. (Prepared by the United States Depart- ment of Agriculture.) (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture) Drying small quantities of surplus vegetables and fruits from time to time may prove a very convenient and time-saving economy. Soup ingredients, such as cabbage, corn, celery, onions, tomatoes, turnips, potatoes, carrots and lima beans, may be separately dried and stored to be combined for use according to taste. Dried parsley and celery tops are valuable additions to the seasoning shelf. Currants, gooseberries and strawberries are better canned than dried; but a variety of other fruits, including blackberries, black and red raspberries, plums, prunes, figs, apples, apricots and peaches may all be dried at home. Dried peas, young beans, cauliflower, okra and spinach are considered by specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture to be less satisfactory in flavor than other dried vegetables. The oven of the cookstove may be used. The products to be dried should be spread thinly in baking pans or pie tins and these should be placed upon racks so that they are not in direct contact with the oven wall. The door of the oven should be left open so that the water vapor driven off may pass out, and the fire should be so regulated that the material may not be porroched. Trays suspended above a cookstove lines, central stations, or farm hydroelectric plants taking current directly from the generator, it is usually supplied at 110 to 115 volts. Windmill electric plants may be of this voltage but on account of the relatively high battery investment, they are more likely to be of the 30 to 32-volt type. The engine-driven farm lighting and power plants, which are multiplying rapidly at present, are mostly of the 32-volt type; but many of the companies supply these plants operating at 110 volts. Uses Almost Unlimited. Uses Almost Omitted. The uses for electricity, or the tasks to which it can be applied about the farm home, are almost unlimited. The man who may install it primarily for lighting will soon find himself applying it to other tasks, and as he begins to see what it can do for him and the multiplylity of its usefulness becomes apparent he will realize how electricity is each day lessening his labors and making this old world a happier and better place in which to live. The first thought of electricity is usually for lighting, but it should not be overlooked as a source of power. The utility motor adapts itself wonderfully well to a number of uses, thus saving the expense of installing a separate motor for each job. Several types are available. Sometimes a support rod is attached to the motor base to steady it when in operation. This is a desirable asset. Then there are the many tasks of the kitchen where a little motor can do in but a fraction of the time consumed by handwork jobs that, though not particularly tiresome, are nevertheless irksome, such as grinding meat and coffee, stuffing sausage, mixing bread, or sharpening knives. The electric range will be better appreciated as its advantages become better known, and will be used where electric plants of sufficient size to operate a range are available. Many heating units, such as table utensils, fireless cookers, water heaters, griddles and others, are already in use and are proving themselves to be desirable under different conditions. The washing machine, electric iron, vacuum cleaner, sewing-machine motor, and motor-driven pumping units are all helping to make life on the farm more enjoyable and appreciated. may also be employed. Each tray is made of a rectangular piece of rather heavy galvanized-wire netting having four or five meshes to the inch. The finished trays should have approximately the same dimensions as the stove top. The edges are turned up so as to form sides for the tray. Four pieces of wood 1 by 2 inches in thickness form a frame for the drier which may be suspended by wires from the ceiling, or it may stand directly upon the top of the stove, if the slats making up the frame are allowed to extend six inches below the bottom of the lower tray and a good-sized nail is driven half its length into the end of each slat to form noninflammable feet upon which the drier may rest. Directions for making and using various types of home driers are given in Farmers' Bulletin 984, "Farm and Home Drying of Fruits and Vegetables."

During the sultry days of midsummer, which often last way into Sep- tember, a - light breakfast is the most desirable. ```markdown ``` The delicious melons of all kinds make a most refreshing beginning for the morning meal. with peaches, grapes, plums and other fruits. A dish of plums or grapes with their own foliage for a breakfast table center-piece is especially attractive. The bare table with simple doilies or runners of the blue and white Japanese cloth with a breakfast set of blue is a cool and restful sight on a hot morning, especially with such a centerpiece of fruit. A common practice in many hotels, and often in the home, is to serve canteloupe or muskmelons cut in halves, and the centers filled with ice. The delicious flavor of the fruit is thus destroyed. The fruit should be kept on ice long enough to be well chilled, for it is most undesirable otherwise. A dish of cereal (if one is fond of the uncooked variety) may be a different one every morning. However, most of us prefer a good dish of cooked oatmeal, cream of wheat, or graham mush once in a while for variety. An ordinary custard pie will become a special dish if a cupful of minced black walnut meats are added just before going into the oven. A few marshmallows on top will make a pleasant flavor. Any meringue will be more attractive if a half dozen marshmallows are placed on top just as the pie goes in for its browning. There are often mornings when a waffle or griddle cake will be enjoyed. Sour milk is much better for the cakes than sweet. Beat two or three eggs, separating the whites from the yolks, add a cupful of sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda, a little melted shortening, and just flour enough to make a smooth, rather thin batter. Cook on waffle iron or on a griddle. A slice or two of bacon or slivers of broiled ham with toast and an egg, if desired, a cup of coffee or milk, with or without a cooky or doughnut, makes a very satisfactory meal for the average person. The pleasures of the table may be enjoyed, in every climate at all ages, and by all conditions of men—Brillat-Savarin It is a greater compliment to be trusted to be loved. HELPFUL HINTS A housekeeper who hates bed-making starts her victoria playing the quick, liveliest tunes she has and keeps time to the music in her work.

She forgets the drudgery and the work is done in half the time it ordinarily takes. Even her laundress works faster and is happier while the music is heard. This is recommended to keep laundresses happy. When the screw tops on cans refuse to yield to ordinary twisting try a piece of sandpaper under the hand. Another use for sandpaper is to place a piece, rough side down, on the zinc top of the table to hold the meat grinder firmly to the table. Use the pie racks for carrying pies when piercing. Slip the racks into a pail which will be needed for water. When straightening the hem of linen in making table linen, save all the threads drawn to use for darning. The same thread makes the mended piece scarcely noticeable. Melt up the small pieces of toilet soap and pour into a mold. Such a cake may be used for toilet purposes, saving several new cakes. To brighten the fireplace brick, scrub with hot soap suds then apply a coat of hot boiled oil. The oil fills the pores of the brick and the dust and ashes do not settle in them. An alarm clock is a handy memory jogger for a busy day. Set it for looking in the oven, putting on the vegetables and in many other ways it will be found to be helpful. When giving medicine to one who is ill it is a valuable assistant. Watermelon Balls.—This is one of the prettiest of preserves and one which will be a delight to use as a garnish in various desserts. Use the firm pink part of the melon and scoop out the balls with a potato scoop. Soak these over night in a weak alum water, allowing an ounce of alum to a gallon of water. Pour off the water in the morning, weigh the fruit and allow three-fourths as much sugar as fruit, one thinly sliced lemon, the slices quartered, to each pound of fruit and one ounce of ginger root to every three pounds. Cook, with just enough water to melt the sugar, adding more, if there is not sirup enough to cover the fruit. Cook until clear, then boil down the sirup until thick. Can in jars and seal.

SUMMERY GOOD THINGS. Prune whip is such a favorite dessert, especially in families with young children, that it is often served. It is nice for a company dish, but needing careful watching is not a convenient dish to prepare if one has no aid. MILK The following combination will be found a good substitute which may be prepared and served cold. The size of the pudding depends upon the number to be served. Take twice as many spoonfuls of powdered sugar as there are whites of eggs to be used, and as many sifted prunes as sugar—for example, to four egg whites use eight tablespoonfuls of sugar (a half cupful) and one-half cupful of prunes cooked soft and cut fine or sifted. If preferred, Butter a tube pan and bake 20 to 25 minutes in a slow oven. Turn out carefully and when cold serve in slices with cream or a thin custard sauce. Of course, the whites of the eggs are whipped until stiff, the sugar added lightly, then the prunes and a bit of flavoring. The housewife who entertains her friends (and who does not enjoy that privilege often) will find that some of the accessories and extras for garnishing and flavoring will often add to a very plain meal when company is present. A bottle of preserved ginger, marischino cherries, capers, a glass of shelled walnuts, cheese and bacon, as well as dried beef in jars, olives, both green and ripe, will help out wonderfully. These things should be replaced at the first opportunity so that they will be ready when needed. Red French Dressing.—Take paprika, one-half teaspoonful to four tablespoons of oil to that a French dressing, either with or without chili sauce or tomato catsup. Peas With Cream.—Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan, add small whole onion, a head of lettuce well tied, a small bunch of parsley, three pints of peas, teaspoonful of salt, and just enough water, boiling hot, to cover the bottom of the saucepan. Cook rapidly ten minutes, then reduce the heat to simmering and cook an hour. When peas are tender remove the parsley and onion and add one half cupful of hot cream to the saucepan. Serve very hot on hot dishes. Teach a man how to live properly, give him a good home, and he will be a good citizen.

Just at the season when we all want to play, get away to lake, ocean or to lake, ocean or woods and mountains, old mother nature lavishes upon us with all these delights, the wealth of fruit from field and garden, and if frugality crowds tains, old mother nature lavishes upon us with all these delights, the wealth of fruit from field and garden, and if frugality crowds out pleasure, at least some days will be given to putting up good things to enjoy in the winter. For those who are fond of the choice Bar-le-duc currants, the substitute made at home is almost as good as the real article, with the exception of the seeds. If you have plenty of leisure, the seeds may be carefully removed and you have a preserve unequalled. Put the currants in a saucepan with just enough water to cover the bottom of the pan. Bring to the boiling point, and add one-half of the sugar. Weigh the fruit and use one-half to three-fourths as much sugar as currants. Cook ten minutes, then add the rest of the sugar and cook half an hour. Pour into jars or glasses and let stand to become cold before covering with paraffin. Serve this preserve with cream cheese and lettuce. To change the flavor prepare some with spices, some with spice and vinegar, making a variety which will be used with meats, while the richest, thickest preserve is served with salads. Gooseberries are delicious prepared in the same way; they are not difficult to seed, and a few glasses will add greatly to the winter supply of good things. Cherry and Pineapple Marmalade.—Measure four quartes of cherries after they have been pitted, and shred one medium-sized pineapple. Weigh the fruit together and allow an equal amount of sugar. Boil together for three-quarters of an hour after it has begun boiling. Pour into glasses and let stand in the sun for one day, carefully covered with cheesecloth. An old coffee or teapot makes a fine receptacle for holding the paraffin and to use in pouring. Breakfast Muffins.—Take one well-beaten egg, add one cupful of sour milk, one-half teaspoonful of soda, the same of salt, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, or less if you dislike them at all sweet, one cupful of graham flour. Beat, well, add three tablespoonfuls of melted fat and pour into deep gem pans, hot and well buttered, bake.
