THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RACE COUNTRY PARTY COLORED P. R. T. FOREMAN IS WORKING-WIZARD White Men Like to Work With Negro Boss- NO COLOR LINE DRAWN HERE "Honey Boy" Evans Is Champion Track Layer of P. R. T., and Is Popular With His Men. VOL. XXVII. COLORED P. R. T. P. White Men Like to Wor NO COLOR LINE "Honey Boy" Evans Is of P. R. T., and Is Po (From Philadelphia Record, Aug. 29.) VE Got a White Man Workin' for Me"—the title of a more or less one-time popular song—is suggested to residents and others in the vicinity of Sixty-third street and Lancaster avenue by the sight of a Negro boss over a gang of white men employed on the job of building a new Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company trolley loop. A Panama hat titled on the back of his head, a blue serge suit, silk-shirted sleeves, white collar, natty cravat and a big cigar stuck between gleaming white teeth on a contrasting background, and the picture of "Honey Pay" Evans, walking boss and superintendent of construction, if you please, is complete. "Honey Boy," whose real Christian name is George, however, isn't simply a fashion-plate boss, but a practical and very efficient superintendent of street railway track-laying of many years' experience. A mixed gang of workmen, of several nationalities, blacks and whites, but the latter predominating, respond to the colored man's terse and business-like orders with alacrity, and never a suggestion of resentment is apparent. His Men Like Him. With the characteristic democracy and fairness of American workmen, color lines are not drawn in this instance, as George is recognized by them as a capable workman himself, who is qualified by his general all-round knowledge of the work in hand to issue orders. One man who said he had worked for "Honey Boy" off and on for the past five years, said: "I never had any trouble with him, and don't know anyone who ever did. He's a black man, but he treats everybody white and never asks a man to do anything he can't do himself, and that's more than I can say of a lot of other bosses I know of. I guess the only reason the P. R. T. made George a boss was because he knows more about laying track than anybody else on the job." When approached by an interviewer yesterday and asked if he was "Honey Boy" Evans he replied: "That's me. What can I do for you?" He displayed no reticence to talk about himself and appeared to appreciate the responsibility of his job and freedom talk of it. "No; I have never had any trouble with men under me, because I treat them all alike," he replied to an inquiry. "All I want a man to do is his work, and it is up to me to get it done as quickly as possible. That's what the company expects of me. I have been in this work about nineteen years, both in the employ of the General Electric Company and the P. R. T. since it started." While talking, the superintendent interrupted his remarks at intervals to issue orders to different groups of State Hist. & Nat Hist Soc State House THE ONLY RELIANCE COLOR FOREMAN WORKING·WIZARD rk With Negro Boss— E DRAWN HERE Champion Track Layer popular With His Men. workmen engaged in various branches of the work. His attention from his men never deviated for a moment while he carried on a running conversation. "When I first began this kind of work everything was done by hand," he explained, "but now we have all power tools," he declared, indicating the compressed air tampers, riveters, bolters, augers and various appliances. He took great pains to explain the working of these machines, which he said enabled the laying three times as much track in the time it took to do it by the old methods. "The little old trolley wire furnishes all the power, too," he said, "for these little portable engines and motors for the compressed air." A group of people were attracted to the electric welder at work, near which a sign was placed, reading: "Danger, Do Not Look." "That sign draws a bigger audience than a barker would n front of a circus," George declared. "When they reads that, why, they just can't stay away; but if they keep their eyes on that little blue electric flame too long they're as blind as a bat for a little while." The operator of the welder wears goggles and is further protected from the intense heat by a helmet. Evans, when again diverted from his interesting explanation of the wonders of modern street railway making and asked about himself, said: "I was just a plain ordinary colored boy when I struck this town, fresh from the farm down South. My home was in Amelia county, Va., near Richmond. These trolley cars always did have a lot of interest for me, from the first one I saw in Richmond, and when I got the chance to work on the tracks it was just what I wanted. "I am now 50 years old, married and have one daughter. We live at No. 3937 Reno street. I never went any further in school than grammar school and all the technical training I have got right on the tracks. A blueprint has no mysteries for me, and one look at one and I seem to know just what the engineers want. I am subject to call for emergency work at any hour of the day or night. So I don't work on no mere salary but get $2 cents for every hour I work," he said proudly. "Honey Boy" remained perfectly natural until he spied the newspaper photographer, when he asked: "Is that fellow going to take my picture for the newspaper?" When assured that was his intention, he said: "Now wait until I spruce up a bit." He immediately placed his hat at a new angle, readjusted his tie and posed in the midst of the workmen, who also became infected with self-consciousness, striking unnatural attitudes before the camera. Real pictures, however, were caught BLE PEOPLE'S PA ADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, About Pugilists BEFORE 1914 our minds were made up and pugilism was generally disreputable, if not immoral, occupation. We were especially strengthened in this attitude because Mr. Jack Johnson became champion heavyweight in those days. As pugilists went, he was voted a good one, good-natured and fair in his tactics, and could only be criticised for his color and his wretched taste in the matter of women. Then came the war and as a result pugilism became The Manly Art. Society and government encouraged it and witnessed the bout of Mr. Dempsey and M. Carpentier; and then, lo! and unfortunately, Mr. Johnson appears upon the scene and our moral indignation begins again; but it is directed now not against pugilism but against Mr. Johnson, the reason being that Mr. Johnson has just come out of jail. That he was sent to Leavenworth on a technical charge which would put hundreds of thousands of Americans in the same place if the law were rigidly enforced, matters little. He must be kept from contaminating pugilism which has grown reputable since he was incarcerated. All this is rather funny now, but before America becomes a leader of civilization it must cease to be funny and our Moral Indignations must be made to square with the facts. Is it Pugilism or Color which calls for a throb of Christian Endeavor? And where is the correspondingly greater throb for lynching and mob violence? And if ministers and Sunday Schools are silent at the burning of human beings alive, how shocked and indignant can they get the public blows of Mr. Dempsey? And if Mr. Dempsey is a gentleman who deserves the concentrated attention of the civilized world, how much less so is Mr. Johnson, and why?—The Crisis. MUSTERED INTO FEDERAL SERVICE. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 1.—The Eighth infantry regiment of the Illinois National Guard was mustered into federal service last Thursday evening. The regiment, which is the only colored combat unit authorized by the war department, will leave Chicago, Sept. 2 for fifteen days' encampment at Camp Lincoln, Springfield. RICHEST GIRL SHUNS VISITORS Washington, D. C., Sept. 1.—Miss Sarah Rector, pupil at the Kansas City, Mo., high school and reputed to be the richest colored girl in the United States, shunned visitors when she stopped at the Whitelaw Hotel, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. Rosa Rector, and sister, Louella, and her attorney, Mr. Calloway. by the photographer surreptitiously after work had been resumed and the colored superintendent became engrossed in his work of completing the loop. The loop leaves Sixty-third street at Malvern avenue, encircling the rear of houses on the east side of Sixty-third street to Lancaster avenue and then west to Sixty-third street, completing a double-track loop. People in the neighborhood figured it would take two months to lay the tracks. "Honey Boy" finished that job yesterday in less than three weeks. --- INVESTMENTS COLORED folk in larger and larger numbers are investing their savings and so far as possible investing in such ways as will best serve the race. This is a most encouraging symptom and one has but to visit the Tidewater of Virginia, or Gary, Indiana, or a dozen other centers to see what Negro capital is doing for the Negro. At the same time the very eagerness of Negro investors brings the danger of less and reaction. Scoundrels, both white and black, are hastening to prey upon us, offering large returns in cash and race adjustment for a small amount of money. When failure and bankruptcy follow such schemes, many an honest black man will find himself robbed not simpjly of money but of faith in leadership. A word to the wise is necessary: Investment is a matter of common sense. It calls for careful investigation and thought. Any proposed scheme must be backed by HONESTY and what we may call the ABILITIES, e.g., responsibility, feasibility, ability. 1. HONESTY. By honesty we mean not necessarily ideal and perfect integrity but that minimum of common reliability, without which business is impossible: promptness in payment, the giving and taking of receipts, no deliberate misrepresentation, etc. Without these no investment is reliable. If the company with which you deal is dishonest, do not invest your funds. If you know that it is honest or if the agent who represents it is known to you to be honest, then comes the question of 2. RESPONSIBILITY. Is the agent responsible for what the company does, or is the company itself responsible or depending upon some-one else? An honest colored man of influence may be induced to become an agent of some scheme of which he really knows nothing. You invest because you know him, but he is not responsible. An honest bank may be dealing in dishonest securities, etc. Before investing be sure you know who is responsible for your funds. 3. FEASIBILITY. Next ascertain if the thing promised can probably be done. Do not buy building lots which are under water. Do not invest in the conquest of Africa. Do not invest in a business which promises 50 per cent returns the first month. Look into the scheme. Does it seem reasonable? Consult those who know. 4. ABILITY. If the business is honestly conducted by responsible persons known to you and if its objects have a reasonable chance to succeed, your final query must be: Are the persons in charge able to carry on the business; have they the necessary skill and education? If not, save your money. It will be said that few Negroes have a chance to examine all schemes with such care. In this case, ask advice. Consult those with experience. True it is that in most investments some risk is involved, but be sure that you can afford to take the risk. If, for instance, you are saving for sickness and old age, you must take the least risk possible: put your funds in the Postal Savings or in a local savings bank or in an insurance company organized in a state with proper insurance laws. Only a few Southern States have such laws. If you are investing surplus funds where a little larger risk is possible, choose either local enterprises whose promoters are known to you and whom Bomb Banker Binga's Residence Once More Seventh Attempt Made in Two Years to Destroy Beautiful South Side Home. Chicago, IL., Sept. 1.—For the seventh time in less than two years, on last Thursday night, the $30,000 dwelling in the Englewood residential district, owned by Jesse Binga, the banker, was bombed. Two men in a large automobile were seen to speed north, a woman's voice cried, "Look out!" and then the roar of the explosion sounded. As usual, the pillars of the front porch were blown out of place and scores of window panes in the neighborhood were shattered. Binga and his family were out of the city and the only one in the house was a maid who locked herself in and refused to open the door. The last time the home was bombed was last November. Previously, explosives had been hurled at the residence no less than five times in six months. The enmity of a number of white persons against Binga because he had sold property in "white" districts to colored persons is thought to be responsible for the bombing. Colored Patrolman Is Now a Detective Sergeant Colored Patrolman Is Now a Detective Sergeant Wesley Redding, colored patrolman of the West 135th street station, was called to police headquarters yesterday. "Redding, I want your shield," said Commissioner Enright. The patrolman unfastened it and tossed it on the table. There was bewilderment in his face, and his shoulders drooped slightly as he stood at attention. But the commissioner, instead of dismissing him, picked up a gold plated badge marked "detective sergeant" and pinned it on him. It was Redding's twenty-ninth birthday, which gave him extra cause for happiness. When he appeared later in Washington Heights Court with a prisoner, he received the congratulations of Magistrate Douras, who told him that the city never falls to recognize the able work of its employés. Redding joined the force eighteen months ago, and in the course of one night arrested nine highwaymen and burglaries. All were convicted later. you can watch, or invest only in well-known and proven national organizations. Do not put your moey in unknown enterprises at a distance, no matter how gib the agent is. Find out about them first. If you are prepared for considerable risk and invest for reasons of race loyalty and hope, then frankly consider how much you can afford to lose before you venture. Do not take desperate chances in flighty dreams and then rail at Negro leadership when you lose every penny invested. In all cases of investment insist on full and regular reports, and study and understand them. To give your money to friends or strangers and let them know that they do not have to keep books or render accounts, is to encourage rascality—The Crisis. NO 48 CHEYENNE, WYO.

In 1709 she married James Ferguson, of Craigdarroch, and she was the mother of Alexander Ferguson, the hero of Burns' song "The Whistle." The song of "Annie Laurie" was written by William Douglas of Finland, in the stewardry of Kirkcudbright, hero of the song "Willie Was a Wanton Wag." Addition to Commandments.

DATE SET FOR THE NEW PARLEY DATE SET FOR THE NEW PARLEY BRITISH CABINET INVITES VA LERA TO CONFERENCE TO BE HELD SEPT. 20TH. PLEBISCITE IS PLANNED IRELAND MUST REMAIN IN EMS PIRE IS ONLY CONDITION IMPOSED ( Western Newspaper Union News Service. ) London.—The British cabinet has invited Mr. De Valera to send delegates to a conference with the cabinet ministers at Inverness on Sept. 20. "Only one condition is imposed, namely, the understanding that Ireland must remain within the empire." The communical to Mr. De Valera, according to dispatch, asks for an early reply and points out the apparent uselessness of conducting negotiations by a further exchange of notes. To allay any fears regarding Ulster, the decision that northern Ireland must not be coerced was reaffirmed by the ministers. Dealing with the cabinet meeting, the Daily Mail says: "The premier told the ministers he regarded the situation as grave, and critical, and he was convinced a further interchange of notes was useless. One minister, who said he was informed that it was the real intention of Sinn Féin leaders to secure a plebiscite of the Irish people after a further exchange of notes and to ensure such plebiscite resulted in a mandate for a conference." Inverness, Scotland.—A decision which may mean peace or war with Ireland has been taken by the British cabinet. The government's reply to Eamonn De Valera, Irish Republican leader, unanimously approved by the ministers, is being carried to Dublin by Robert C. Barton, the Sinn Féin courier, who brought the Dail Eireann's message to Premier Lloyd George and who was brought into the council chamber while the council was in session. Dublin.—Activity is apparent in moderate Irish circles to prevent a rupture of negotiations and the rejection of the terms until the significance of Premier Lloyd George's offer is definitely ascertained. Sir Horace Plunkett, who was chairman of the Dublin convention, and Captain Harrison, chairman of the Dominion league, addressed a joint letter to Eamonn De Valera and his cabinet, saying: "Ireland would be well advised to accept dominion status if it implies, as we believe it must, full legislative and executive economic independence and imperial relationship, functioning as to policy and action by co-operation founded on mutual agreement arrived at by consent and carrying with it direct representation in the imperial conference and the League of Nations." Suffragists Scrub Statutes. Washington. — A volunteer scrub woman's brigade was formed by members of the National Woman's party and a scrubbing was given to the marble statues, in the capitol of Susan B.

Robey of Virginia, who hended the squad which was recruited hastily at the "Watch Tower," the suffrage headquarters opposite the capitol. Says China Must Be Liberated. Canton, China.—Dr. Sun Yat Sen, head of the Canton government, in a manifesto to the powers declares no settlement of the Far Eastern problem is possible unless China is liberated from foreign aggression, the twenty-one demands of Japan and the secret treaties, loans and concessions President Hsu Shih-Chang of the Peking government has concluded with Japan. Dr. Sun says that unless a Canton delegation participates in the decisions concerning the Far East none relating to China will be recognized. Ties Wife Up Every Night. Dallas, Texas.—A young woman, claiming to be the wife of a prominent local physician, appeared at headquarters and requested the police to ask her husband to stop tying her at night. The woman asserted that her husband is very jealous and ties her wrist to his wrist and her ankle to his ankle with a fish line each night before retiring because he fears she will desert him. Landis Cuts Wages. Chicago.—Wage reductions of from 10 to 33 per cent for many classes of construction workers in Chicago have been made by Judge Landis in a decision which is believed will end the controversy and open the way for projects valued at $50,000,000. The old pay was $1.25 an hour. Considering the elimination of all restrictions on labor-saving machinery and materials save prison made, Judge Landis estimated the saving in actual cost would be about 20 per cent.

The oral law of the Jews, consisting of many traditions touching the Mosaic law, tells that the ancient Hebrews employed large bells, which were called Merguerupita. These were used on different occasions by the multitude of temple officers and caused frequently such a noise in the streets of Jerusalem that it was hard to catch the words of a speaker. Their purpose was three-fold: To call the priests for service, to summon the Levites to come and sing, and to apprise persons generally that the unclean might be brought to the gate armed Nicanor. A charity box in the attic is a good idea. Put in it all of the outgrown clothes and then when a call is made for such material yours is already collected.

The egg dance, now confined chiefly to Spain, among the people of Valencia, was a once popular diversion in England, Scotland, Holland and other parts of Europe. A number of eggs were arranged in a prescribed form upon the dancing floor, and among them a blind-folded dancer moved as best he might, to music, the object being to execute an intricate dance without breaking the eggs. The music, like the arrangement of the eggs, also was prescribed. What Is Success? C. W.

Among the curious insects of the Malay peninsula studied by a member of the London Zoological society is one called the lanternily, which is remarkable for its sudden leaps, made without the aid of its wings. It was only after the observer had carried a specimen to London and carefully examined it that he discovered that a curious projection on the front of its head, a kind of nose with a crease in it, was the leaping organ. When bent back under the abdomen and suddenly released it sent the insect flying. Tyranny of Custom.

GETTING the car before the horse is a very awkward situation, to say the least, and there have been but few instances in history where this has been done. But if the comments, lectures, articles and cartoons appearing in the daily papers and magazines serve as a criterion, then that is just what we have done in the matter of nation-wide prohibition. Forced upon an unwilling public as a war necessity and without the due process of educating the people to its subline possibilities, prohibition is being found exceedingly difficult of enforcement. Man, being denied the genuine article, naturally turns to any substitute offered. The present vile output of moonshine is daily exacting a frightful toll of insanity, disease, blindness and death. Crime shows no dimunition and is really more vicious in its reckless abandon. The bootlegger sees only his immense profits. No thought is given to public health or morals. The open saloon will never return. It is justly outlawed. So much cannot be said of human nature that even yet craves a temporary stimulant. Some statesmanlike, common sense means of regulating that stimulant must be found or else we will awake to the awful realization that in the matter of promoting public morals we are proceeding backward. We will find that we are hitched up wrong.

Linds to the alarm of the reformers, be in Denver but by asserting that laws in curb vice merely favored the rich new angle to the situation, and calls if true, and there are indeed many authority in such matters. However, questions in the relative matters. However, also hysterically carried on for the purpose themselves to the laxity of parental responsibility for vice conditions in Denver a filthy picture upon the public scene. Will we first not learn to pity, that the "movies" are large contribution also that autos and night joy riding must admit the accuracy of both parent, when confronted with this art conscience by asserting: "Well, your moment." Yes, that is true also. But evening last week the writer was stunned of the city when his attention was held the contented, merry laughter of your home of one of our most eminent, were invited up on the porch to witness. Here were about twenty of his supervision and chaperonage, enjoying but the very highest evidences fest. The parents of the boy in whither pains nor expense to make it right. This home and these parents, people must have amusement, but them; pure, wholesome and uplifting, assume more largely its responsibility before we witness a recurrence of anger over Denver, there will be less of the city. IN days long since gone by, or "once upon a time" to be a little more romantic, older folks were ever ready to ascribe any act of daring or mischief among the younger set as being possessed of "The devil and Tom Walker. Now the devil is an institution of many centuries standing and his influence is not always confined to the young. Just why the combination, however, and just how Tom Walker gets in on the deal is a mystery rather difficult of explanation. And then who is Tom, anyway? Where he comes from and what is his lineage that he should be an attackee of such an ancient institution? But we are leaving the main point. During the past ten days the daily papers of our city have thrown spasm after spasm over an alleged revelation of moral or rather inmoral conditions in Denver. Some writer under the nom de guerre of "V. A. N." started the whole muss by sending a letter to the Rocky Mountain News, making startling disclosures and hinting at even more startling disclosures of vice among the young people of our city. The indictment was a sordid one, sufficient to cause a shudder to come over every parent in Denver. Immediately following the publishing of V. A. N.'s letter a mighty chorus of yeas and mays sprung up from all over the city. There were many who strongly supported "V. A. N." in every contention and fully as many more that were unconsciously bitter in their denunciation. and fully as many more that were unconsciously bitter in their denunciation. The leading men of the ministry, school teachers, college professors, social welfare workers, the district attorney, judges of the various courts, and prominent club women have been drawn into the controversy on one side or the other. Last Wednesday the mayor of the city, before an audience of 12,000 people, strongly berated those who have been holding up a picture of Denver's vice and exhibiting it to all the world at a time when our city was full of visiting tourists. The mayor stoutly upheld Denver's fair name and made it plain to his hearers that he regarded those who had been so in besmirching the city's reputation as being strongly possessed of "The devil and Tom Walker." And now comes Judge Ben B. Lindsey, Colorado's most noted jurist, who adds to the alarm of the reformers, by not only declaring vice conditions bad in Denver but by asserting that laws now upon the statute books presumably to curb vice merely favored the rich against the poor. Here is presented a new angle to the situation, and certainly one fraught with peril and pitfalls if true, and there are indeed many who accept Judge Lindsey as an authority in such matters. However THE COLORADO STATESMAN seriously questions the relative value of all this vice-probing and sewer-sourcing so hysterically carried on for the past ten days. We do not mean to blind ourselves to the laxity of parental supervision that is so admittedly largely responsible for vice conditions in Denver. But will the constant flashing of a filthy picture upon the public screen tend to cleanse or purify conditions? Will we first not learn to pity, then endure, then embrace? We are told that the "movies" are large contributing factors to immoral conditions and also that autos and night joy riding parties may be similarly classed. We must admit the accuracy of both of these charges. Yet an over-indulgent parent, when confronted with this array of facts will attempt to ease their conscience by asserting: "Well, young people must have some form of amusement." Yes, that is true also. But let us look at another picture. One evening last week the writer was strolling leisurely thru the residential section of the city when his attention was attracted by sweet strains of music and the contented, merry laughter of young boys and girls emanating from the home of one of our most eminent citizens. We paused for a moment and were invited up on the porch to witness a scene of unusual beauty and significance. Here were about twenty of our young boys and girls under parental supervision and chaperonage, enjoying a charming home dancing party. Nothing but the very highest evidences of culture and refinement were manifest. The parents of the boy in whose honor the party was given spared neither pain nor expense to make it a success. It was truly an inspiring sight. This home and these parents had met the emergency. Yes, the young people must have amusement, but let it be your part to provide it for them; pure, wholesome and uplifting. Let the home, the church and society assume more largely its responsibility in this regard and it will be many a day before we witness a recurrence of the wave of moral hysteria now sweeping over Denver, there will be less of "The devil and Tom Walker" to pay in the city. THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENED. It was a very pretty and attractive occasion to go to the Union depot at 11 a.m. who were leaving the city. As she a street car she noticed two suspending her.

Let it be understood block from the home that was recent ONE evening last week a very pretty and attractive young white girl of this city had occasion to go to the Union depot at 10 o'clock to bid some friends good-by who were leasing the city. As she turned to go from the depot to board a street car she noticed two suspicious looking white men apparently following her. Upon reaching her transfer point at 17th and Curtis, the actions of the men became more pronounced, and in order to more fully confirm her suspicions she walked up Curtis to meet the car. The men did likewise. Both pursued and pursuers boarded the car. At the point where she would have to leave the car was far in East Denver and but sparsely inhabited. She naturally grew very uneasy, and glancing back espied an aged Negro whom she did not know, but unhesitatingly approached and related her plight. He volunteered to see her safely home, which he did, and the young white girl was so overjoyed at the contrast between a worthy Negro and unworthy men of her own race that she related the circumstances to everyone in her neighborhood. Let it be understood that this girl lives within less than a block from the home that was recently bombed because it was occupied by a Negro family. It may also be said in perfect fairness that she and her family do not share the feeling that upright, property-owning Negroes are a menace to a community. Hence her action. She feared for her safety, her pursue and perhaps her honor at the hands of unscrupulous white men. She felt secure in all these at the hands of a Negro. And yet during the week a Georgia lawyer, speaking before the American Bar Association at Cincinnati, deplored the prevalence of mob violence all over the United States, but declared lynching would not cease until Negroes ceased attacks upon white women. What a bald, flagrant distortion of an issue so universal in its application! Just as though mob outbursts spring alone from the one CAUSE. Colorphobia is a convenient mask at times. But what about the frenzied mob outbursts in Denver a year ago when a number of lives were lost, property destroyed, and no relief came, until General Wood sent in U. S. soldiers to control the situation? And what of the tense situation in West Virginia, where scores of lives have been sacrificed to the Moloch of mob sovereignty and only tranquility restored through General Bandholtz flooding the stricken area with federal troops. Yes, mob violence really threatens the very security of this nation, but he who would uproot the evil and apply a remedy must go beyond the thin veil of color prejudice. Alexander Pope once said, "KNOW THEN THYSELF." It was a thunderous command. Let the American white man give it place within his soul.

He was severe, however, about the countries, which, he said, according to statistics are spending 20 per cent of their energies on armaments and complaining of economic instability and a bad trade situation. He blamed the United States for the delay in the adoption of the "A" and "B" manadates, and introduced a resolution that these terms be defined. The commission on amendments finished its labors by deciding not to recommend adoption of an amendment by C. J. Doherty, delegate from Canada, eliminating article X. It passed an interpretative resolution intended to meet American objections to the clause. That a President of the United States cannot alone bind his government on a question of mandates, is brought out in a paragraph of the last American note on mandates, copies of which are circulating among the delegates of the League of Nations assembly. The note is dated August 8, and is addressed to France. The note treats of "A" and "B" mandates. It states that Yap belongs in another category. The note restates the general American position on mandates. Mandates respecting the former German colonies, it says, were only made possible by the victory of the allied and associated powers, of which the United States was one. The American government affirms the right to have a voice equal to that of any other power in deciding the mandates over former Turkish possessions. The note makes suggestions of changes in the terms of the Turkish mandates, some being that consular tribunals, under capitulations from the powers, shall remain in force until the governments are organized under mandates, and that if the mandates are surrendered the consular tribunals shall be restored. To Open Shantung Question. Washington.—Cablegrams received from Tokio disclose that Japan has made another effort to open negotiations with China looking to the relinquishment by Japan of Tsing Tau and other parts of the Shantung peninsula. The step was taken by Mr. Obata, Japanese minister at Peking, who, by direction of his government, notified the Chinese foreign minister that he was prepared to comply with the Chinese desire to state the scope of the negotiations having such relinquishment in view. Many Slain in Chinese War. Peking.—A dispatch from Ichang, Hupel province, reports heavy fighting between the northern and southern forces, with the Szechuan left wing attacking the defenses of Ichang. The dispatch adds that reinforcements for the northern army are arriving. Two hundred members of the northern forces have been driven into the Yangtse river and drowned. It is estimated there have been 10,000 casualties on both sides. Steamers leaving Ichang are under fire, although crowded with refugees. Corn Crop Makes Improvement. Corn Crop Makes Improvement. Washington.—Recovery of the corn crop during August from the serious damage sustained from July weather conditions featured the September grain report of the Department of Agriculture. Favored with good growing temperatures and plenty of rain in practically the entire corn belt, the production forecast made a jump of 154,000,000 bushels, bringing the indicated production to 3,186,000,000 bushels, or only 48,000,000 bushels less than last year's corn crop, the largest grown. Cowboy Shot in Hotel. Tucumcari, N. M.—Phad Cobb, cowboy contestant in a roundup being held here, died from a bullet wound. Bill Vaught, another cowboy, was arrested. The shooting occurred in a hotel room occupied by Mrs. Fred Simmons. In an ante-mortem statement Cobb said he had gone to Mrs. Simmons' room in an effort to effect a recoil ciliation between her and her husband, who was a former partner of Cobb. Answering a knock on the door, he was shot town. THE DENVER DRY GOODS CO.

Mr. Townsend wants all boys and men to watch the "Y" notes for the opening up announcement of the municipal gymnasium to our boys and men soon. He has worked hard to get this place, so let's back him up by taking a part in the gym program. Swimming day has been changed back to Miss Nelsine Howard returned to her Y. W. C.

The regular monthly meeting of the DENVER COLORED CIVIC ASSOCIATION was held at its hall, 2630 Welton Street, on Wednesday evening, Sept. 7th. Several of the committees made their reports. They were of such a nature which shows conclusively that the association is active in carrying out the purpose for which it was organized. Rev. W. H. Thomas, beloved pastor of Shorter Church, and Rev. I. S. Wilson, equally beloved pastor of Campbell A. M. E. Church, left Wednesday for Cheyenne, Wyo., to attend the annual A. M. E. Conference. Bishops H. B. Parks, who has been resting in the city for some time accompanied them. Bishop Parks can materially add to his present popularity by returning both pastors to their Denver charges.

The public meeting of the Denver Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at Scott M. E. Church Tuesday night was not as largely attended as it should have been. The meeting was called for the purpose of hearing the financial reports of the secretary and treasurer, and also the report of the delegate to the Detroit convention. It was a highly interesting meeting and showed the Denver Branch to be in a good financial condition. One very surprising fact brought out in the report of Mr. Gross was that only 18 cities in the U. S. exceeded Denver in membership and that Denver held higher rank than any compared to her population. Another fact alone developed was that Denver alone had a larger membership than the entire states of either Indiana, Tennessee, West Virginia, Iowa or Nebraska. It was a remarkable report and proves beyond question that Coloradoans are commendably loyal to the principles and achievements of this great association. DR. TERRY EXONERATED Prominent Physician Given Clean Bill If there was ever the slightest reason for the arrest and incarceration of Dr. C. E. Terry, a prominent physician of the Race, in connection with the death of young Roy Sansell at 22nd and Washington three weeks ago, it was not brought out before repeated hearings of the coroner's jury seeking light on the case. We realize that this accident happened at a time when public indignation was at its highest point over a series of fatal mishaps that seemingly buffled all efforts of discovery. We also realize that anyone driving a car is subject to an accident at any time. But we believe the reputation a man has built up in the community should stand him in stead even when the finger of suspicion is pointed at him, justly or unjustly. Dr. Terry is one of the most eminent men in his profession, white or colored. He is a man of high ideals, clean habits, and eminently respectable. He is a member of the county hospital staff, has his home here, and maintains an office where he can be found at any time. Just why then he should have been subjected to indignities equal to those usually applied to known criminals is utterly beyond us. An over-zealous police department can bring about a great deal of unnecessary misery. The theory in police circles that one is always guilty until proven innocent is henious. We are proud to note that some of our strongest associations are protesting AGAINST AND CONDEMNING THIS PRACTICE. LABOR DAY PARADE. Various estimates of the number in the line of march Labor Day places it at about 5,000. It was a quiet, orderly parade, lacking in floats and other spectacular features that have been so large a part in Labor Day parades in years past. We noticed quite a few of our group in the parade, which is as it should be. They should be given a broader welcome into the ranks of organized labor. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to thank our many friends and acquaintances for their kindness and many beautiful floral offerings during our bereavement. Charles L. Holt, Husband. Mrs. Wines Lewis, Sister. Esther Holt, Daughter. THE ELKS' CONVENTION. Mr. Victor B. Walker, Exalted Ruler of Mountain Lodge of Elks No. 39, returned Friday from Boston where he has been attending the national convention of the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World. Mr. Walker claims that it was the greatest convention in the history of the order and clippings that have come to us from leading Boston dallies fully bear out his claim. In the parade, which was headed by Past Grand Esteemed Leading Knight Raymond H. Phillips, were upwards of 10,000 marchers, including about 3,000 women. Fifty floats representing various phases of the order and twenty-six brass bands featured the big parade. Mr Walker introduced a resolution asking the convention to appropriate $30,000 toward the building and equipment of a ward in the new Presbyterian General Hospital now under course of erection in this city. This was a progressive step and though it failed of adoption it stamps Victor Walker as one of the big men in Elkdom. He gave fitting representation to the West. In this connection the COLORADO STATESMAN is pleased to observe that Denver organizations have been singularly fortunate in the ability and character of representatives they have sent to big conventions. At the great N. A. A. C. P. convention held in Detroit our Denver delegate took a prominent part in all of its deliberations and was placed upon the committee on resolutions by far, the most important committee of that body. Dr. J. H. P. Westbrook, attending the Knights of Pythias national convention in Topeka, Kan., stood out prominently as one of the leading figures of that greatest of Pythian conventions. His exceptional ability and genius was manifest in all of its proceedings. He was selected chairman of the committee on resolutions, that drew up an especially strong appeal to the president, members of congress, governors and other public officials against mob rule and on racial conditions generally. Prof. Hewetson V. P. Watson as Colorado's representative to the famous Garvey meeting in New York assumed high rank as a leader and left a deep impression as to his ability and vision. Then comes Exalted Ruler Walker, whom we repeat was admittedly one of the big men of the now historic Elks' convention. The COLORADO STATESMAN feels that all Colorado should be proud of such representatives. SOCIAL CALENDAR. Mrs. Charlotte Jackson was hostess to a very elaborate dinner party Sunday afternoon at her residence, 2928 High street. Covers were laid for twenty-two.

Mrs. Emma Moore of 2459 Lafayette was hostess to a delightful card party last Thursday night. It was one of the exceptionally pretty affairs of the season. Mrs. Moore is a most charming hostess and everyone present had a splendid time. Mr. Fred Clements, Denver's well-known Beau Brummell, entertained Tuesday evening to a beautiful dinner party complimentary to Mrs. Louise Watt of St. Louis and to Mrs. Ida Carrie of Chicago, the charming widow that has been such a reigning favorite in gay social circles this season. Those enjoying Mr. Clement's hospitality were Mr. and Mrs. Elijah Jackson, Mrs. J. Clayton Myers, Mr. Marshall Coates, Mr. Elbert Robinson, Mrs. Ida Carrie, Mrs. Louise Watt, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. W.

Mr. Hewetson Watson, our representative in the convention, will make his report at a special meeting Saturday evening, 8 p. m., Sept. 10th, at the Masonic Hall, Twenty-eighth and Welton streets. Members only are especially invited to this meeting. Come and hear of the wonderful legislation and the program of this great organization. Our representative was there from 1st to 31st and will report in detail the purposes of this association. This is not a Colonization Movement, nor an immigrant movement, but a universal improvement movement, seeking first to arouse a Race Consciousness that will create a desire in the Negro to attain every ideal of Human Philosophy, certain of which must be attained here before we can successfully plan colonization. There will be a mass meeting at Masons' Hall, Twenty-eighth and Welton, Sunday, Sept. 11th, 3 p. m. Visitors are cordially welcomed. SEE ME BEFORE YOU BUY. A home or income property. Real bargains.

We are accustomed to speak of the "stars" on the flag. As a matter of fact, the national banner has no stars emblazoned on it. They are heraldic "mullets," or five-pointed representations of the rowels of the spurs of a knight. Thus we have today on the flag a rowel, and not a star, for every state in the Union. No Tides in the Great Lakes. There are no recognized tides in the Great Lakes similar to what occur in the oceans, for the reason that those bodies of water are too small and irregular. Occasionally, however, tidal waves occur in one or more of the lakes, due to atmospheric conditions, such as great differences in atmospheric pressure and the prevalence of gales. Prof. W. M.

C. ANDERSEN'S SCHEME TO BE PRESENTED TO THE COMING DISARMAMENT MEET. IDEA IS THIRTY YEARS OLD Headquarters for All the Nations May Be Founded Within Next Five Years—Ostend Is at Present the Favored Site. By EDWARD B. CLARK. Washington.—Efforts to interest delegates at President Harding's disarmament conference in the founding of a "word capital city" will be made by Hendrick Christian Andersen, Norwegian-American sculptor, author and writer, who has spent $125,000 fostering his international metropolis among European governments. Announcement of the revival of the movement to establish a world capital, which was halted by the war, was made by F. W. Fitzpatrick, a consulting architect, who is the United States commissioner for the Andersen organization pushing the idea. It is proposed tentatively to establish the "dream city" at Ostend, the Belgian seaport. Advocates of the plan will petition the disarmament conference delegates to approve the creating of a model city which will be the headquarters of art, science, literature, trades, commerce and world peace. Plan a Wonder City. "In Europe the League of Nations is always thought of in connection with a great peace city," said Mr. Fitzpatrick. "At present some of the best, minds of the world are at work devising means of financing, building and governing this city. Ultimately it will be not only the official center of the world, the seat of the League of Nations, but it will develop vast art galleries, colleges as clearing houses for scientific information, an exchange for fixing world prices and a gathering place for the medical profession. An international weather bureau will flash wireless reports and warnings. "Mr. Andersen, who has been hammering away at the utopian idea for the last 30 years, is coming to the United States for the Harding conference. His plans are already substantially approved by the European premiers. It is probable that his old friend, Secretary of State Hughes, will introduce him when the world capital plans are presented to the disarmament conference. "Sees Start in Five Years. "I wouldn't be surprised if we see foundations laid for the world capital within the next five years. There will be no poverty, no slums, no illiteracy in this international metropolis. An educated public opinion will be the prophylactic that will keep things straight. "Mr. Andersen's idea was so well received at the very beginning that plans were made not only for a building to house an international parliament, but a whole world community. All the great international bodies, medical, jurisprudence and so on, are interested and ready to subscribe. Ernest Hebard, architect of the French government, devoted a good part of nine years to drawing the city's plans. He and the assistance of some of the greatest engineers, sculptors and painters. "Surveys were made at different available points—near Cairo, near Antwerp, near Paris, in Switzerland and in New Jersey. General opinion today favors Ostend, a compliment to Belgium, and, for practical considerations, a seaport. "The possibilities and potentialities of the project are immeasurable. The world is ready for closer organization and greater centralization for the direction of mass efforts. Nothing would conduce more to real internationalism, ideal democracy, than the building of this city." Mr. Fitzpatrick for years was a consulting architect with the government at Washington. He was one of the designers of the Chicago post office building, and several large business structures there. He has just recently moved to Chicago, where he will maintain the offices of the world capital society. Country Club for Congressmen. Members of congress who have taken the initiative toward organizing a country club for their use and the use of government officials are encouraged to believe that they will be able to "put over" the proposition. Several weeks ago a circular letter was sent out, signed by a committee consisting of Representatives Lubring of Indiana, Cole of Ohio, Fish of New York and Bland of Indiana. Representative Lubring states that more than 200 replies have been received, indicating a strong interest in the undertaking among congressmen, government officials and army officers. The site selected is the old Campbell farm, beyond Cabin John Bridge, out on the Conduit road. There is an eleven-room house with three baths, and plenty of land there for a cottage colony. As soon as 300 members have joined the proposed club. Representative Luhring sald, it is proposed to start work on the golf course and, possibly, on remodeling the house. He expects that the club will eventually have a permanent membership of 1,500. The fav rable replies received to the circular letter are being used as a basis for personal conferences with officials, many of whom. Representative Lubring said, are signing membership blanks. The membership fee is $250, to be paid in monthly installments of $50 each. The congressional Country club property will consist of 405 acres of rolling and partly wooded land, lying about ten miles northwest of the capitol. Situated on the high ground above the Potomac river, a wide view of the valley and of the Virginia hills beyond will be had from the clubhouse porch. Ideal for Golf Purposes. The property is considered ideal for golf purposes and it is said a comparatively small amount of work and short length of time will develop a good course. Two springs of clear water join about the center of the property and Cabin John Creek flows across one end. A country home now on the property will be used temporarily as a clubhouse, but later will be devoted to the exclusive use of lady visitors. A main clubhouse is to be erected on an elevation where it will be surrounded with trees and will overlook the golf course, with entrances from Massachusetts avenue extended and from Conduit road. A locker house, caddy house, garage and stables will be erected. Another feature will be a swimming pool to be constructed within a short distance of the clubhouse, where the two brooks join. Memberships, which are transferable, will be limited to members of congress, officers of the army and the navy, departmental heads, accredited members of the press and friends properly recommended. The birds and squirrels at the grounds of the White House are to feel secure and safe from harm now that Mrs. Harding has enlisted in the cause for the protection and care of them. It was made known that the "first lady" from now on intends to take a leading part in protecting the birds and squirrels. In line with her hun., the endearers several birdhouses of the Twentieth century variety arrived at the White House and were erected in suitable places about the grounds. Two of these houses are for wrens, while others are for smaller birds. She has given instructions to the policemen and other attendants who frequent the grounds to be on the alert always to aid the birds and sourirels. Army Airmen to Bomb Alabama. Air service officials are concentrating their attention on plans for an independent bombing enterprise against naval craft in September, as a part of their program to educate congress and the people of the United States to the need of a large and efficient nerial force for the country's defense. The theoretical bombing of Washington and New York recently was a part of their program. Using virtually every type of latest war inventions, including torpedoplanes, mines, gas and missiles weighing as much as 4,000 pounds, the air service officers will attack the old battleship Alabama, in the hope of adding a new chapter to the inter-service controversy which resulted recently in the destruction from the air of a number of former German war vessels off the Virginia capes. Selection of the Alabama as the target for the aviators was the result of a request of the army. Acting Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt announced that the navy department is dismantling the vessel, and it will be ready to turn over to the land and air warriors about September 1. The event, it was said at air service headquarters, will be exclusively an army affair and efforts will be made to simulate actual battle conditions when the Alabama comes under fire. For that purpose the army asked that the ship be turned over in sea-going shape, absolutely water tight, bulkhead sound, steam in her boilers and ventilating and communicating systems in working order. A request also was made that her magazine be filled with loads of powder and that in all respects save her useful offensive armaments, which are being salvaged, she be ready for action. All Phases of Attacks. It was said that definite reply from the navy as to the extent to which the Alabama would meet these conditions when turned over had not been received, nor were the army men hopeful that they could obtain radio control equipment for her similar to that successfully employed on the battle-ship Iowa during the recent bomb tests. It is hoped, however, to have the ship in motion, probably under tow, when the army airmen open their attack. Army plans call for all phases of air attacks at sea. Everything from the 30-pound bombs, similar to those first rained on the German dreadnaught Ostfriesland, to missiles double the size of the 200-pounders which sent her down will be employed. It was said, and in addition new smoke and gas bombs will be hurled at her decks from above. Several new projects of the chemical warfare service are to be tested against the Alabama, and penetrative qualities of the gases will be measured by means of the ventilation system on the ship.

HELD AS SOUVENIR State of Illinois Prizes Gavel Wielded by "Uncle Joe." Historical Library the Proud Possessor of Relic of Famous Republican Convention of 1904. "Uncle Joe" Cannon's long-lost gavel with which he controlled the celebrated Republican deadlock convention of 1904 has been found, and now reposes in the State Historical library, appropriately marked, the Illinois State Journal says. All these years it has been in the possession of Mrs. Charles M. Tinney and it was by her given to Mrs. Weber, librarian of that library. This is the story of the gavel: When "Uncle Joe" was elected chairman of the convention he was without a gavel. There was none available. One was needed at once. Mr. Tinney had been elected sergeant at arms of the convention and it was his duty to secure a gavel. In the rear of the arsenal he found a gun wiper. It was of straight, tough walnut with a small knob on one end. The handle was cut to the right length and with this instrument Mr. Cannon maintained order. It was an odd-looking thing for such a purpose and, as the convention became more and more historical, collectors coveted it and many a plan was laid to grab it, at the end of the session. Mr. Cannon himself was determined to keep it as a souvenir. James A. Rose, then secretary of state, was a collector of gavels, and he wanted it. The last night of the convention was rainy. Mr. and Mrs. Tinney carried an umbrella with them when they went to the arsenal, and it was given into her keeping while Mr. Tinney performed his duties. When the last hour arrived and it was known the convention would soon adjourn sine die, Mr. Tinney sent for the umbrella, saying he was tired and wished it to lean on. His duty required him to stand by the chairman's side and assist him in whatever was done. Mr. Tinney carelessly held the umbrella next to the speaker's table. "Uncle Joe" lifted his arm with the gavel in his hand and brought it down with a whack as he declared the convention adjourned. He left the gavel on the table for a second. One end projected over the edge in such a manner that one little movement of Mr. Tinney's hand precipitated it into the loose folds of the umbrella. A dozen hands had been extended toward the table to grab it, but it was not there. "Uncle Joe" looked around to pick it up and found it missing. The choice Cannonian profanity failed to uncover its hiding place. Concealed in the umbrella the gavel traveled to the Tinney apartment and in Mrs. Tinney's possession it has remained ever since. J. McCann Davis' book, "The Deadlock," contains a picture of the gavel, but it is not a photograph of the original. The book was published as an after thought of the convention. A picture of the gavel was wanted, but it could not be found, so another gunwiper was cut and it appears in the book as the deadlock gavel. Served and Saved. A reticent, backward youth twenty years old, dragged his penniless self into the Bowery branch of the New York city Y. M. C. A. late last winter. He was from a Connecticut town, jobless, friendless and almost cloistess. The employment secretary helped the boy and he got a position within 24 hours of his arrival. He joined the "Make Good club" and became an active member in this group of Christian men who are constantly endeavoring to establish themselves in such a place in society as hard-working, right-thinking folks deserve. One night he was found in the lobby of the building in tears. His sister was ill and required money. He was helped to give the girl the care she needed. As quickly as possible he paid back his loan. Since then he has moved into the dormitory of another Y. M. C. A. branch and has joined the church. Thus he makes room at the Bowery branch for another to be served and saved as he himself was. And so the endless chain of good deeds goes on in this bright spot in a darkened part of the metropolis—Exchange. American Old Style Three visitors in shirt sleeves were refused admission to the gallery of the house of representatives in Washington a week or so ago. While their companions, more formally habited, entered freely, they stood in the corridor outside the door, lamenting the rule which denied them the pleasure of gazing upon the men from their home state seated among the mighty, making the laws of the land. One doorkeeper after another saw their plight, sympathized and then slipped off his uniform coat. The three visitors put them on joyfully and went in. It is sure they were well pleased with all they saw. Ingenious Coyote. On a ranch in Saskatchewan a captive coyote retires into its kennel with a crust of bread, chews the crust into fine crumbs, and then spreads them around in front of the kennel. The fowls come to get the crumbs, and Mr, Coyote usually has a chicken for his meal.

KEEP ACCURATE CASH ACCOUNTS Farm Household Records Valuable as Supplement to General Farm Business. IMPORTANT AID TO ECONOMY First Step Toward Saving Usually Lies in Finding Out Where Unnecessary Expenses Are Incurred—Two (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Household expenses on the farm are very intimately connected with the business of the farm itself. The farm normally supplies much material which otherwise would become a household expense. The household, in turn very often furnishes board for farm labor, which would otherwise be a farm expense. Merely from the standpoint of keeping track of household expenses as related to the farm business, household accounts are desirable and should serve to supplement and round out farm accounts. But the value of household accounts goes beyond this. Such accounts are an important aid to economy. A dollar saved is a dollar made, and the first step toward the saving usually lies in finding out where unnecessary expenses are incurred. This can be determined only by keeping careful records of expenses for the whole year. Methods of Keeping Records. There are two general methods of keeping a record of household expenditures. One is to record the purchases or money paid out, without classifying the expenditures. The other is to classify when the record is made. The first method is very simple, requires no special form, and gives all necessary information regarding ex- Accounts Take Only a Few Minutes Each Day. penditures. At the end of the month or at the end of the year the total expenditures may be quickly added up. In order, however to know the totals for each kind or class it will be necessary to make up a monthly summary, in which the items will be distributed in different columns by classes. This extra work at the end of each month (or at the end of the year) may cause discouragement and neglect of classification, with the result that the greatest good that could be derived from the records is not realized. Under the second method, in addition to being entered all together in one column, the items are classified in separate columns. This method has the same advantages as the first method and the additional advantage of allowing for the distribution of items of expenditure to the proper classes without the inconvenience of turning to some other page. The distribution may be left to moments of leisure if the housewife is busy at the time the entry is made. When the page is filled the next page is begun, the top line next to the heading being reserved for the total carried forward from the preceding page. The items may be totaled at the end of the month and these totals carried to the summary page at the end of the book. Kind of Account Book to Use. The kind of book to use is not important. An ordinary blank daybook or ledger book with a stiff cover may be bought at a reasonable price. If the vertical rulings in the book do not serve the purpose others may be inserted with a pen or pencil. A blank book, with a stiff, pressed paper cover, 12 inches long and 7 inches wide, with 34 spaces for items and containing 48 pages, is excellent for the purpose and sells at retail for 25 cents. With vertical ruling and headings inserted it serves the purpose admirably. In order to eliminate the necessity of writing the headings on each page, the tops of a number of pages may be cut off, allowing one set of headings to serve for all pages. Accounts are sometimes kept in a book having small pages, but a small page is soon filled, is often crowded, and the information is scattered over too many for convenience in recording and studying the expenditures. Farmers' Bulletin No. 964, "Farm Household Accounts," gives full directions for keeping such accounts, and in it are to be found sample pages of different methods in use with classifications of expenditures. This may be had without cost, by application to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. Serviceable Petticoats.

Care Should be Exercised in Picking and Handling to Avoid Bruising— Get Peeled Product Into Evaporator Quickly. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Late winter varieties of apples and pears are best for drying because they are sweeter than the early varieties. Apples for drying should be reasonably mature but not soft, according to specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Handle with care in picking and hauling so as to avoid bruising, as bruised spots become discolored and must be trimmed off to make an attractive product. Apples discolor rapidly. Preparations, therefore, must the made to get the product into the evaporator as rapidly as possible after it is pared. If a number of people are doing this work, this may be accomplished by dividing the paring, coring and spreading on trays, so that an apple spends only two or three minutes on the way from the paring knife to the drier. If only one person is working, drop the pared fruit either into cold water or into a salt solution made by dissolving one tablespoonful of salt in four quarts of water. Do not allow the fruit to stand in the water any longer than is necessary, because the water will dissolve the sugar and other valuable elements and the apple will absorb water, which will necessitate longer drying in the evaporator. Carefully pare and trim the product to remove all discolored places. When a paring and coring machine is used, the apples, before being placed in it, should be worked over with a knife to remove all discolored spots. Care should be taken when slicing by hand to make the slices as nearly the same thickness as possible. Three-sixteenths to one-fourth inch is the best thickness. Apples may be quartered or cut into eighths, but they do not dry so uniformly or so quickly as the sliced rings. The rings may be blanched in hot water or not as desired. Spread the rings in a single layer on trays and place either in the sun or in a warm drier. Apples when drying should be covered with muslin or mosquito netting to prevent insect infestation. A few minutes' exposure will often cause the products to be infested. Dried apples that are brown or chocolate colored from the discoloration resulting from drying without blanching possess as high nutritive value and often have a better flavor than the more attractive-looking blanched products. Dried apples will not be brittle when finished, but if a handful of the pieces are pressed together they will feel elastic and springy and will separate promptly when released, leaving no moisture on the hands. When one of the pieces is broken in two, it should not be possible to press moisture out of the center. Household Questions Once a year every cellar should be whitewashed to sweeten it. Old tins with rancid water in them are famous mosquito breeders. Spinach with carrot balls is an attractive and wholesome mixture. If pies are brushed with milk before baking they will turn a delicate brown. Keep honey in the dark. If exposed to the light it will quickly granulate. A whiskbroom is very handy for cleaning woodwork and removing dirt from corners. If your oilcloth is dingy it can be brightened by washing it with water in which a little borax has been dissolved. If grease is dropped on the kitchen floor put soda on it, then pour boiling water on, and the spot will come out easily. A handy article about the kitchen is a long-handled spoon such as is used at the soda fountain for ice cream sodas. The kitchen floor is best covered with linoleum, cemented to the floor to prevent it from buckling and to make it waterproof. If children's light or white suits become faded or streaked it is a good idea to dye them some darker color suitable for play clothes. Snap dress shields instead of sewing them in. Place a snap on each end of the shield and one in the middle. It keeps them where they belong. White of egg is nourishing and should be given freely to invalids. Beat it slightly and add to tea or coffee; or it may be stirred into any kind of farinaceous food just before serving.

WARM WEATHER DISHES. Crisp vegetables, cool drinks and all kinds of ices and sherbets, together with the luscious fruits and melons that are so plentiful, will help to make the warm days of late summer more pleasant. COFFEE Cucumber Salad.—Slice three cucumbers, three hard-cooked eggs, one cupful of olives, chopped, three-fourths of a cupful of nutmeats; serve with mayonnaise in tomato cups or on crisp lettuce leaves. Combination Salad.—Take two cupfuls of tender green peas, cooked until tender, one cupful of finely diced celery, one-half cupful of rolled peanuts, crisp and freshly roasted, one-half cupful of olives finely chopped, a tablespoonful of scraped onion, added to the salad dressing which should be highly seasoned. Line a salad bowl (after rubbing it well with a cut clove of garlic) with crisp heart leaves of lettuce and heap in the salad. Garnish with three hard-cooked eggs, or add two of the eggs to the salad and use the remaining one for a ton garnish. Ginger Ice Cream.—Take two cupfuls of scalded milk, one teaspoonful of flour, one cupful of sugar, one beaten egg, a dash of salt, one quart of thin cream, one tablespoonful of vanilla, one-half cupful of Canton ginger cut in small pieces, and three tablespoonfuls of the ginger sirup. Scald the flour and the milk, cool and add the other ingredients, then freeze as usual. Plain vanilla ice cream is delicious with a ginger sauce if one is fond of that flavor. Mint Julep.—Boil one quart of water and two cupfuls of sugar together twenty minutes. Bruise twelve large sprigs of mint, let steep closely covered five minutes in one and one-half cupfuls of boiling water, strain, add the liquid to siprup.

Garnish with sprigs of mint and whole strawberries. Muskmelon Cocktails.—Use a small potato scoop and arrange the balls in chilled sherbet glasses. Pour over a syrup mace of sugar water and orange and lemon juice, or canton ginger syrup, with some of the chopped ginger in the sauce, is especially delicious. Garnish with a sprig of mint. Serve tee cold. I deal with water and not with wine. Give me my tankard then. Jonson. Men really know not what good water's worth.-Don Juan. GOOD THINGS TO CHERISH. The following recipes are worth putting into the family cook book for once tried they will be used again and again. Italian Tutti Frutti Ice.—The combination of fruit for this delicious dish may be made Italian Tutti Frutti Ice. The combination of fruit for this delicious dish may be made to conform to one's taste and the season. Oranges, plums, strawberries, raspberries, small balls of watermelon, apricots and other fruits in season. The pulp and grated rind of the oranges are used. The stones from plums and apricots are removed and the fruit is weighed, allowing an equal weight of sugar. Make layers of the fruit and sugar, having the sugar on top. Let stand over night and in the morning just bring to the boiling point to make sure that the sugar is dissolved. Do not boil, however; cook and when cold freeze as for any ice. Grape Juice Ice.—Take one pint of sweetened grape juice, one quart of thin cream, one tablespoonful of lemon juice, taste and sweeten if necessary, then freeze. Serve in sherbet cups, top with whipped cream or a spoonful of vanilla ice cream. Old Southern Cake.—Cream three-fourths of a pound of butter, add one and one-half pounds of sugar. When well mixed add the yolks of six eggs well beaten, then three-fourths pound of pastry flour, about three cupfuls sifted with one-half a grated nutmeg and one teaspoonful of ground cloves, added alternately with one pint of rich milk. Fold in the stiffly beaten whites and one pound of sultana raisins chopped and mixed with flour. Bake in a large pan, about three inches deep, the batter half filling the pan. Tomato With Macaroni.—Mix two cupfuls of well cooked macaroni or spaghetti with one cupful of white sauce, sprinkle with one-half cupful of grated cheese. Spread this on a deep glass pie plate. Over the top place tomatoes cut in halves, cut side up. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, dot with bits of butter, and sprinkle with buttered crumbs. Bake in a hot oven until the tomatoes are soft but unbroken.

A cold dinner is always agreeable on a hot night, and cold meat is the basis for any number of good dishes. Sliced cold tongue, roast beef or pork are always acceptable. This with some sort of an appropriate salad may all be arranged on one plate to save serving and dishes. Such meals may be prepared in the morning and left in the ice chest until evening. Lettuce if washed and placed in a bag made from an old lace curtain will keep fresh and crisp for several days if kept in the ice chest. With a jar of mayonnaise or boiled dressing ready it takes but a short while to prepare the salad. Savory Sliced Ham.—Mix together three teaspoonfuls of dry mustard, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of pepper, two tablespoonfuls of catup and a dash of cayenne. Have ready a pound of boiled ham sliced very thin and one cupful of grated American cheese. Spread the slices of ham with the mustard mixture and place one slice on the other with the cheese between. Bake for fifteen minutes in a hot oven, then chill thoroughly in the ice chest. When ready to serve cut in slices at right angles to the layers. Chicken in Mold.—Cook a fowl until tender with a small bunch of celery and one onion. Remove the onion and celery, strain the broth and cut the chicken from the bones when tender. Crush the bones, cover with a very little water and simmer until all the gelatin has been removed. Add a teaspoonful of prepared gelatin to the hot broth and strain when well dissolved into the chicken broth. Arrange the chicken in any mold, adding the chilled broth a little at a time until all is used. Set away for 12 to 15 hours to harden. This may be used as a salad, cut in any desired form or molded in individual forms. Serve on lettuce with a rich mayonnaise dressing. It is easy to tell the foiler How best he can carry his pack?

When the fresh field mushroom may be had for the gathering try a dish of the delicious vegetable cooked as follows: Creamed Mushrooms. —Peel the caps and remove the stems from a pound of fresh mushrooms. If care is taken to gather them they need very little wash Creamed Mushrooms. —Peel the caps and remove the stems from a pound of fresh mushrooms. If care is taken to gather them they need very little washing. Soaking them in water ruins their delicate flavor. Melt five tablespoonfuls of butter in a saucepan; add the mushrooms, cover and cook for three minutes. Add one teaspoonful of salt, a few dashes of pepper, two tablespoonfuls of flour, two teaspoonfuls of chopped parsley and three-quarters of a cupful of cream. Cook for six minutes, stirring constantly. Serve hot. Spinach, French Style.—Pick over and wash spinach and cook in very little water until tender. Drain and chop finely. Return to the saucepan; add four tablespoonfuls of butter, to which has been added three tablespoonfuls of flour and two-thirds of a cupful of any good stock. Season with one teaspoonful of powdered sugar, salt, pepper, a grating of nutmeg and lemon rind. Bird's-Nest Salad.—Line curled heart leaves of lettuce with finely cubed apples mixed with mayonnaise into which has been rubbed one canned pimento. Sprinkle this with chopped nuts all round the edge, to carry out the idea of the nest. Poel and seed four large grapes for each salad, press a hazel nut in each, arrange in the nest. Serve with mayonnaise. Corn Pudding.—Take two cupfuls of corn, fresh from the cob, one cupful of hot milk, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half teaspoonful of sugar, one tablespoonful of each of flour and butter. Melt the butter, add the flour and, when blended, the milk and seasonings; then, when cooked smoothly, add one beaten egg and the corn. Place in a buttered baking dish and bake in a moderate oven half an hour. Pear and Almond Salad.—Decorate the very ripe fresh pair, cut in halves and cored, with quartered blanched almonds; arrange on white lettuce and serve with mayonnaise dressing. Pineapple Sherbet.—Take one can of pineapple, one quart of water, one pint of sugar, and the juice of two lemons.

BLOUSES LOOK WITH FAVOR UPON THE VOGUE OF BLACK THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS OF THE FILM "THE FILM MAKES A SUCCESS OF THE FILM " It is cut in the kimono style and gathered into a short, smooth fitting peplum that is split at each side and laces together with black silk cord ending in small silk tassels. White beads outline the neck, shoulders and ends of the sleeves and they are scattered over the body of the blouse like small jewels, each with four little black beads about it, to set it off. There is nothing more distinguished than this combination of black and white when it is well balanced. IN THE pursuit of novelty designers have succeeded in making blouses the most versatile of our belongings. They reflect every new idea that enters the field of fashion, besides exploiting some that are their own. The charm of novelty is about all that can be added to them—they have captured the most beautiful fabrics, made the whole range of colors their own and are developed in as many different styles as dresses are. The overblouse grows in popularity; it is a dominating affair that determines the character of the toilette, and it is vastly becoming because it disposes of the waistline in such a satisfactory way. Blouses made of the various black crepes nearly all show touches of one or two colors, with henna and sapphire much considered. Bands or emplacements of these colored crepes are introduced by the aid of stitchery or embroidery in the body of the blouse, but the colors are sparingly used. Sometimes a single flower motif in applique or embroidery is ingeniously placed near the waistline or near the shoulder, and it seems to emphasize the brilliance of black in these crepes. Cross-stitch, ladder-stitch, herringbone and figoine, as well as French knots play important parts in the finishing of new blouses. The vogue of black, and black and white, has been made the most of in a distinguished company of blouses for late summer and for fall. They are all in the overblouse and tie-back styles and nearly all of crepe de chine, georgette or other crepe weaves in silk. In many of them georgette is used in combination with other crepes as in the blouse pictured here, which has a yoke and sleeves of black georgette and body of white crepe de chine. J them, and numerous dangles are usee in the same positions. "Nall heads" are used, and have been elaborated. The hat at the top of the group has metallic ornaments set about the upturned brim edge, making an attractive finish for the duvetyn drapery. At the left of it a felt hat with satin drapery approves lacquered fruits and demonstrates the beauty of two small apples that hang on the brim. Velvet is responsible for the richness of the spirited shape at the right, with flower motifs applied in chenille about the brim edge. NEARLY all the hats presented at the early showings of autumn millinery can cheerfully undertake to see their wearers through the winter. They are handmade hats, of fabrics that have a warm look, and many of the colors in these fabrics are glowing. Velvet, plain or pane, heavy satin that suggests hatter's plush, duvetyn and all its numerous kindred, make lovely mediums for autumn colors—the purple, fuchsia, cerise, red-browns and pheasant tones, bright red and strong, clear blues—even the new dark grays refuse to be cold and could not well be, in the fashionable fabrics. One of the new large-crowned shapes finishes the group. It has a velvet facing on the under brim, edged with folded ribbon across the front, and is otherwise covered with duvetyn, having a metallic net drawn over it. One may gather at a glance over any of the displays of new hats, that they are draped affairs and that they are soft as to lines. Also, both in their making and trimming, they bear witness to the handwork of professionals that are adepts in their art. Julia Bottomley COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNIOM Hats appropriate the decorative features of gowns—and go farther. To embroideries, beads, braids and ribbons they add many millinery ornaments, and among these are new arrivals made of metal—that it is hard to call by name. Brim edges, and other edges find themselves finished with small metallic oblents bent over Sport Frocks of Knitted Silk. Sport frocks of knitted silk of the straight-line type with a high collar, that may also be worn low and rolling, are very smart. Licensed Embalmer and Director Lady Assistant. Polite Service to all.
