THE COLORADO STATESMAN THE JOURNAL OF THE WEST. LABOR SHALL BE FREE RAGE COUNTRY PARTY THIRTY-FIFTH ANNUAL SESSION OF COLORADO A. M. E. CONFERENCE CONVENED AT CHEYENNE, WYO., SEPTEMBER 8, 1921. VOL. XXVII. THE Thirty-fifth Annual Session of the Colorado A. M. E. Church Conference convened here on Sept. 8-12, in Allen Chapel, of which Rev. J. M. Endicott is pastor. Bishop H. B. Parks presided. Rev. X. C. Runyon preached the annual sermon. After the usual devotional services communion was administered to ministers and delegates. The first day was devoted to the hearing of reports from various churches which showed improvement numerically and financially. Reports were continued until Friday noon. Friday afternoon was devoted to the Women's Mite Missionary meeting, which was an inspiring and interesting meeting from start to finish. Rev. H. A. Wells of Tucson delivered the missionary sermon on Friday evening. Some idea of the work done for the year may be obtained from the following figures: $2,000 reported for education, $2,000 for missionary purposes. There were fifty delegates present. The Colorado A. M. E. Conference embraces the states of Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Wyoming and New Mexico. There are 2,627 members. Rev. W. H. Thomas delivered the ordination sermon Sunday morning. Rev. Adams preached Sunday evening. Bishop Parks transferred Rev. J. C. Carter to Kansas and B. Herron to California conference. All other ministers returned to the charges held before convened. Rt. Rev. Parks has ever shown a spiritual and progressive method when appointing ministers to various charges. This year he understands the great benefit to the church, community and state by retaining ministers in their present places. His charge to the ministers is to live upright Christian lives, pastor the inhabitants of the city to which he is sent and take an active part in civic and other things which help to make this world a better place in which to live. Follows the address of welcome delivered by Mrs. H. C. Jefferson on Wednesday evening, Sept. 7: Bishop, Members of the Colorado Conference, and Friends: At first I thought this a man's duty to extend a welcome to the members of this conference, but as I considered the idea I thought the women of the many communities from which you hall have done their part to send you here; they have, I know, put forth untiring efforts to send you here happy; therefore, it may as well be a woman welcome you to Allen Chapel. It is indeed an honor and an extreme pleasure to welcome the members of this conference to our church. First, for the good we shall receive by their coming. You are men of God, lifting up a standard for Christ and our people. Yours is the highest calling of man. Were it the President, he is called by popular vote; were it the governor, he is chosen by the people; were it a king, he ascends the throne through heritage. But your calling is by Divine impulse. The call is of God. The greatest earthly honor that could be imposed upon you. Therefore we are proud to have you in our midst in our community. We welcome you again because of State Hist. & Nat Hist Boo State House the lessons you bring to us. You bring us the lesson of durability. We realize the ministerial life is not all sunshine. Fighting sin must needs bring shadows. But you are planted in your work and stand forth in God's name. Take the sturdy oak, though storms may destroy its branches, the forest may cause its leaves to color and decay, the seasons may change its costume, but still it stands a monument of strength, ever towering upward. So with you, though the storms of life may blow, though you have conflicts and struggles, though sin and vice seek to ensnare you, yet you come to us in the strength of His might, with cheerful faces, happy in the thought that you have closed up another year's work, have won over sin, and ready if necessary to go forth into new fields of labor. We welcome you again for the lesson of moral uplift you bring. Just the word Reverend, and we think of true Christian principles, truth, honor and uprightness. We think of God and eternity, and the highest standard of living. Thus we are glad to mingle with you for the spiritual light for white you stand. You bring to us a lesson of service. We know your ever ready hand to duty, we know your untiring efforts, we know your unceasing labors, therefore we are glad to welcome such characters to the Capital City of Wyoming. We also welcome the missionary ladies. "Tis they who teach us lessons of alms deeds, lessons of charity and love. We welcome you to our homes. We welcome you to our tables, regardless of the high cost of living. Eat till you are filled, or at least eat till it is all gone, as Herbert Hoover says, "Leave nothing to waste." We want you while in our city to feel perfectly at home, and we shall do our best to make your stay pleasant. And in behalf of the members of this church I wish to extend to you the heartiest welcome, thrice welcome to our midst. Mrs. Dorcas Watson confirmed a deaconess. T. J.

ABLE PEOPLE'S PA RADO THE JOURNAL DENVER, COLORADO, DENVER, COLORADO, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 1921 MADE AIRPLANE TRIP TO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING MADE AIRPLANE TRIP TO BUSINESS LEAGUE MEETING Atlanta, Ga.—In order to attend the last day's session of the National Negro Business League and speak on the program, Carroll Hardwick, a successful restaurant keeper of Cleveland, Tenn., chartered an airship, successfully making the flight from his home to Atlanta and return. Mr. Hardwick, who is said to be worth over $50,000, was on the program to speak at Friday's forenoon session on the restaurant business. He had planned to make the trip by automobile, but became suddenly ill Wednesday. The following day it rained so hard it would have been a difficult matter to have reached Atlanta by automobile. Thursday evening an aviator rode into Cleveland in an aeroplane, offering to give the citizens short trips for a financial consideration. When he approached Hardwick the latter said he would pay $50 to be taken to Atlanta and back. "Make it $100 and I'll take you up," replied the aviator, and an agreement was promptly reached. Friday morning, 7:30 o'clock, the party started for Atlanta, and shortly before noon Hardwick was reading his paper at Big Bethel Church, where the league met. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Hardwick was back at his place of business. The distance between Cleveland, Tenn., and Atlanta is 159 miles. Pan African Congress Is a Great Success The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the text of a cablegram sent by Dr W. E. B. DuBois, secretary of the Pan African Congress, which stated that the sessions of the congress were being attended by delegates from thirty countries, and that a permanent organization of the congress had been effected. The cablegram reads as follows: J. W. Johnson, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York: Seven sessions successful. Thirty countries. Audiences two thousand. Permanent organization. DU BOIS. At the session in London, England, Dr. W. E. B. DuBois read the manifesto of the congress which protests against colored people being treated as uncivilized, and argues that the experiments of Negro self-government in Haiti and Liberia, and of the mulatto democracies in South America have not been failures. The manifesto demands enfranchisement based on educational qualifications alone, and urges that it is the duty of the world to assist in every way the advancement of backward and suppressed groups of mankind. Trinidad, Colo. Will return Tuesday. Mrs. James Randle has returned from a visit to Cleveland, Ohio, and Birmingham, Ala. Mrs. Poole Turner has returned from an extended trip to Chicago and eastern cities. Mrs. Evelyn Ruffner is visiting her former home in Quincy, Ill. Rueben J. Smith has returned from Torrington. DU BOIS. Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Not to Be Demobilized The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today made public the text of a letter written by the adjutant general on September 2, stating that no order had been given to demobolize the Ninth and Tenth cavalry as had been reported. This was occasioned by an article in the Washington Evening Star of Aug. 19 carrying the following news: "Sweeping changes in reorganization of all cavalry units of the army, placing the Second cavalry division, comprising the Third and Fourth brigades and the Third and Fifth machine gun squadrons on the inactive list and demobilizing units of the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh, Twelfth and Fifteenth cavalry regiments, were ordered today by the War Department." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People immediately communicated with Senators Capper and Wadsworth and Congressman Hamilton Fish, Jr., asking if this statement was correct and whether they could advise any action to be taken by the association to insure the preservation of the Ninth and Tenth cavalry regiments. As a result the following letter addressed to Senator Wadsworth by the adjutant general was forwarded to the offices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "No orders have been issued to demobilize the Ninth and Tenth cavalry. The writer probably misunderstood an order to demobilize several troops of these two colored regiments and of all white regiments. As a result of the reorganization and reduction of the army, all regiments, white and colored, have been reduced from fifteen troop regiments to eight troop regiments. In addition, three white cavalry regiments are being placed on the 'inactive list.'" The Ninth and Tenth cavalry will remain 'active' and be organized exactly like all white cavalry regiments, and an additional colored machine gun troop will be maintained in the Philippines." Picture House Burned Down Brookhaven, Miss., Aug. 10.—The Daisy theater, the only colored moving picture theater here, has been burned to the ground. The theater was owned and operated by Burrell W. Jackson, a Negro employés of the local postoffice and was completed just three months ago. Incendiarism is suspected, as Jackson had incurred the animosity of certain members of his race through his activities along certain lines. The building cost $3,200 and was insured for $1,000. Release Race Reels New York, N. Y., Sept. 7.—The Billboard announces: The Real Productions Company have completed their fifth release "Ties of Blood" with Inez Clough, Arthur Ray and Henry Pleasant, former members of the Lafayette players in the cast. Mr. Forest and his company are busy at work now on the next of their productions, "The Burden of Race." This will be followed by a big picture tentatively named the "Simp," in which S. H. Dudley will be featured. Securing the services of the busy Dudley, one of the best remembered of the colored stars is a distinct accomplishment. TAFT'S FIRST CASE TO BE ONE OF COLOR New Supreme Court Chief Must Decide Whether Japanese Belong to White Race and Entitled to American Citizenship. Washington, D. C., Sept. 7.—Contitions that the Japanese are a white race and therefore entitled to American citizenship, are down for argument at the forthcoming session of the United States Supreme Court. The case is No. 4 on the docket and may be heard on the first day Chief Justice Taft takes his seat, Oct. 3. Apart from the extraordinary character of the litigation, which officially is entitled "Takao Ozawa versus the United States," it may be occupying the attention of the Supreme Court at the very moment President Harding's disarmament Far Eastern conference is in session. The claim of a Japanese to be recognized as a Caucasian thus may synchronize with the revival before the Washington conference of Japan's tenacious demand for "race equality." The Japanese petitioner, who is seeking to enforce his right to become a naturalized American, will be presented before the Supreme Court by George W. Wickersham, attorney general of the United States in the Taft administration, who will be one of the first counsels to appear before his former chief. Argument Made By Japanese. Arguments on behalf of the claimant will range around the "race origin" of the Japanese. It will be pleaded that "the root stocks and the dominant strain of the Japanese" are of the white race. Section 2169 of the Revised Statutes of the United States, governing naturalization of aliens and prohibiting the granting of citizenship to members of the Mongolian race, is the one under fire. Counsel for Takao Ozawa will urge that "the Japanese are a 'free' people, and that while Mongolian and Malay types are found among the Japanese, the Caucasian, or white type, is as prevalent." Case Up Three Times. The case has been before the United States Supreme Court since 1917 and been "passed" on three successive occasions, having come on a certificate from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (California). Black Company Of Lazes Personally Guard Kemal Pasha Angora; Sept. 10.—The safety of Mustapha Kemal Pasha, the Turkish nationalist leader, is assured by an organization known as the Black company. They are stalwart soldiers selected from the fierce race of Lazes, whose homes border the Black sea country between Batum and Trebizond. They are dressed entirely in black. Each is a dead shot and carries a rifle with several ammunition belts buckled around him and a huge crescent-shaped knife stuck in his belt. These men do sentinel duty about his villa, near the city, and at his office in the railway station and travel with him on his longer journeys. One or two ride in his automobile when he motors, or else follow in another one of his automobiles. The company is well-trained and the men are quiet and orderly. The guard was chosen from the Lazes because they have the reputation of being the bravest and most ferocious fighters of all Asia. NO 49 WHITE HORROR ON RHINE, NOT NEGRO HORROR Growth of Venereal Disease Due to White Soldiers Is Real Menace. New York, Sept. 8.—Dastardly raps and assaults upon German women in the area occupied by the French is being perpetrated by white and not by the French black troops, according to Lewis S. Gannett, a white man writing in yesterday's issue of the New York Nation. Referring to five cases of rape during April and May in which German women were attacked on the streets or forcibly carried into the suburbs where they were overpowered and raped, sometimes by two or three soldiers, Dr. Gannet says: Not one of them refers to a crime committed by a Negro! The five stories tell of twelve soldier brutes; seven of these were French whites, five were Moroccans (largely Arab stock), and not one a Negro. There are Negroes, coal-balck Negroes, on the Rhine, as I said; but it is my conviction that they behave, on the whole, better than the French whites, and far better than the Moroccan whites. The black race is enough maligned and abused without adding the dirty scores of the white race to its count. "God knows there is horror enough in sober facts. It is very near to humanly impossible to deposit tens of thousands of celibate males with almost nothing to do, among a people to whom they are hostile by tradition and whose language and customs they do not understand, without hundreds of cases of the lowest crime resulting. The growth of venereal disease in the Rhineland, due largely to the white soldiers there, is appalling. I wish our German-American friends would make a frontal attack upon the very principle of military occupation and leave the Negro race apart. Then I could Join with them. There is a black horror on the Rhine, but it is not a Negro horror. Let us keep that clear." COLOR LINE FADES WHEN MONEY COMES Fortune Inherited by Worker Helps Solve the Race Question. Waterloo, Iowa, Sept. 9.—Leonard Wright, who has been employed in the Illinois Central shops in this city for some time, has been notified that he has inherited a fortune from the estate of his father. He will come into possession of considerable money and valuable stocks in the United States and a large tract of land in India. His fortune is estimated at $233,000. Leaving his native land a number of years ago to make his fortune in this country, Wright has struggled along without realizing his ambition. His color greatly injured his chances for advancement in America. He worked for some time as fireman on the Union Pacific, but color prejudice forced him to seek other employment. He was a member of the Candian army during the World War and held the commission of second lieutenant at the close of the struggle. He came to this city shortly after the war and worked in the Illinois Central shops. Wright, before leaving this city for Kansas City, received $56,000 in shares of stock in the American Telephone — Telegraph Company and in a number of mining and oil concerns. He declared before leaving this city that the attitude of the whites changed when they heard of his good fortune. FOREIGN Having been bought by the White Star Line, the Columbus, a new 35,000ton ex-German liner now laying at Danzig, is to be renamed, the Homeric and will be employed on the company's Southampton-New York service. The governor of the state of Vera Cruz threatened penalties for any manufacturers who close their plants because of the new profit-sharing law which compels them to give one-half of their profits to the workers in Mexico. Marshal Foch has received and accepted an invitation from Eibert H. Gary, chairman of the board of the United States Steel corporation, to be a guest at a dinner given by the Iron and Steel institute in New York City at which, it is understood, there will be a great gathering of financiers and industrialists. Baden authorities announced that they had ascertained the names of the murderers of Mathias Erzberger. They are Heinrich Tillessen, a student, and Heinrich Schulz, a merchant. Both men were members of the brigade of General Erhardt, which was prominent in the Kapp insurrection. Neither has been arrested. Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood announced his acceptance of the post of governor general of the Philippines offered him by President Harding. He notified Secretary of War Weeks that he would retire from the army to accept the governorship. He said he believed it to be his patriotic duty to accept the position, owing to the seriousness of the situation in the Philippines. Payments made by various oil companies in compliance with President Obregon's export tax decree of June 7 last were returned by the government in accordance with an agreement said to have been reached with the five American oil company heads. Such taxes as were paid were proportionately small as compared with the usual payments, as the larger companies had postponed payments. GENERAL Two persons were killed, three seriously hurt, and many others slightly injured in an accident to a car in the Rubin and Cherry carnival train over the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad at Noroton, Conn. Two through Florida passenger trains, the Dixie Flyer and Seminole Limited, running between Jacksonville and Chicago, met in a rear-end collision at Summer, Ga., on the Atlantic Const Line railroad. Several passengers were injured. Three armed bandits held up the Beech Grove State Bank at Beech Grove, a suburb of Indianapolis, forced three employees and two customers of the bank into a back room and escaped in an automobile with approximately $25,000. A fourth bandit remained at the wheel of the automobile while the holdup was committed. A mine three feet in diameter, coated with barnacles and oysters and provided with an electrical firing device, washed ashore at Ocean View, and has given rise in marine circles to the theory that a number of ships reported lost off the Virginia coast might have been struck by one of these derelicts. The mine bore the letters K-1. If either of the two sons of the late F. H. Atwood, Chicago attorney, use tobacco or alcoholic drinks during the life of their mother they will forfeit an inheritance of $400,000 under their father's will. If the widow remarries, she will be deprived of her bequest, according to the will. No restrictions were placed on a daughter. The German mark fell to the lowest price in its history. Its value on the foreign exchange market at New York was less than 1 cent—$.0093, to be exact. Disquieting, unconfirmed rumors of the possibility of a moratorium being declared in Germany was responsible for the decline. The prewar value of the mark was about 24 cents. Gilmon Holmes, a negro, arrested on a charge of murdering Sidney Manheim, station agent at Columbia, La., was hanged by a mob, the body then being riddled with bullets and set afire. Holmes was alleged to have confessed to the posse that captured him. Masked men numbering more than one hundred overpowered the night jaller at Collinsville, Okla., and after taking from jail E. Scott, charged with automobile theft, and Roy Hollsworth, who attempted to secure Scott's release, conveyed the pair by automobile to a lonely spot eight miles east of Tulsa and lashed them with whips. A thug went to the home of A. J. Peterson, postmaster at Tornillo, Tex., first made friends with the watch dog and tied him securely in a shed, then went to the porch, where Mr. Peterson and his wife were asleep and stabbed the postmaster over the heart. After choking Mrs. Peterson and hitting her in the face with a gun, the man escaped. The postmaster's recovery is doubtful. Mrs. Peterson said the thug was a man who nursed a grievance against her and her husband. Three men were arrested in Chicago charged with the theft of goods worth $100,000 from cars in South Chicago. Those arrested were Paul Volbrecht, painter; John G. Mack, special agent of the Michigan Central, and Martin Corybon, a switchman. Some of the stolen material has been recovered. David Behnke of the Checkerboard field, carrying a woman passenger, won the Labor Day airplane derby at Chicago, flying the fifty-five-mile course in 49 minutes. He was closely followed by Price Hollingsworth, John Kiser and James Curran. AN EPITOME OF LATE LIVE NEWS CONDENSED RECORD OF THE PROGRESS OF EVENTS AT HOME AND ABROAD. FROM ALL SOURCES SAYINGS, DOINGS, ACHIEVE MENTS, SUFFERINGS, HOPES AND FEARS OF MANKIND. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) WESTERN California's population, according to the 1920 census, is 75.4 per cent native white, 19.9 per cent foreign-born, 2.1 per cent Japanese, 0.8 per cent Chinese, 0.5 per cent Indian and 1.1 per cent negro. The California alien poll tax law was declared unconstitutional by the State Supreme Court in a unanimous decision which held that the measure was in violation of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution and to the treaty between the United States and Japan. Chief of Police Daniel Hays, Chief of Detectives Gene Cassidy, and William Kohrt, a traffic officer, all of Hibbing, Minn., are dead from rifle shot wounds inflicted by John Webb at Nelson, just south of Hibbing. The officers were attempting to arrest Webb. He escaped and a posse was sent in pursuit. Mike McCoy, alias E. W. Brown, confessed to the police of Oakland to the murder of a patrolman in Parsons, Kan., Aug. 13, 1919. McCoy has been employed until recently in a lumber camp at Standard, Calif. He says in his confession, according to the police, that he fired on the officer while resisting arrest. After eating a breakfast of fried chicken, John W. Carroll of Fairchance, Pa., was hanged in the jail yard at Union, Mo., for complicity in the murder of Benjamin Schobe, who was slain last Nov. 20. Carroll went to his death stolically. Charles Jacoy, convicted for the same crime, was hanged last month. Heavy importation of Chinese eggs was predicted at San Francisco following discovery of a crate of eggs aboard the Japanese trans-Pacific liner Persia, every third egg in which contained Scotch whisky. Officers thought they may have discovered the reason why importations of Chinese eggs have doubled since 1919. The toll of a twister which wrecked the countryside near Sioux Falls, S. D., was placed at three dead tonight with a score of persons injured. Damages will total more than $100,000 to farms and crops. Two of the dead, Taylor Woods and George Fenelon, were electrocuted when they were blown against a live wire. The third man was killed by a collapsing barn. Mrs. Henry O. Hale, wife of a Gypsum miner in Fort Dodge, Iowa, has become the wealthiest woman, and possibly the wealthiest person in that city. She is the daughter of Wallace Farley, wealthiest citizen of Boone county, who died. His will, filed for probate in Boone, left her one-half of his estate, valued at more than $2,000,000. Her husband digs rock for the American Cement Plaster Company. He has been on strike since July 1. Hale and his wife live in a humble dwelling in the Gypsum district. They have been married a little more than a year. WASHINGTON Representative Samuel M. Taylor of Arkansas died at his home in Washington, after an illness of several week, of pleurisy and pneumonia. Appointment of Lewish H.Carris, formerly of Newark, N. J., as director of the federal board for vocational education was announced by the board. Mr. Carris, who formerly was chief of the industrial rehabilitation division, will have charge of all educational activities of the board and supervision over allotment of federal funds to the states. The National Wholesale Grocers' Association filed a protest with the department of justice against any modification of the recent court decree which divorced the big packing concerns from their grocery interests. To allow the packing interest to re-engage in the grocery business "would be against the public interests," the protest set forth. The War Department, in an official announcement, disposed of the rumor that the olive drab uniform was going to give way to the blue uniform of old. However, the department stated that regulations would be changed to permit the wearing of a slit in the bottom of the cont skirt and to permit a hook on the coat that will hold the revived Sam Browne belts in place. Plans for a nation-wide demonstration armistice day under the leadership of organized labor "in support of the purpose underlying the international conference on the limitation of armament," were announced by the American Federation of Labor. Central unions have been asked to organize parades and mass meetings on that day when the international conference begins. President Harding has accepted the honorary presidency of the Press Congress of the World, to be held in Honolulu next month Pithy News Notes From All Parts of Colorado (Western Newspaper Union News Service.)

One hundred and fifty taxpayers of Washington county met at Akron and arranged for a big taxpayers' mass meeting to demand lower tax levies for 1922. Mrs. Gonzales Rominez, 32 years, is dead and her husband is held charged with the slaying because of a shooting at a wedding celebration at Salt Creek, near Pueblo. Many new and novel exhibits from far eastern and southern states are announced as coming to this year' Colorado State Fair at Pueblo, while there will be entertaining features never before seen in the West. Flood waters in the Las Animas valley caused a loss of $851 per farm, or a total of $31,500, for thirty-seven property holders, according to a report made in Durango at a meeting of residents of the valley in July. August was the most healthy month known in Loveland this year, only seven deaths were reported during the thirty-one days, and of these three were infants less than a year old, and two were old folks more than 80 year old. Investigation by authorities have so far failed to produce any clew that would aid them in learning the identity of the shyler of Walter A. Shawl, 42, a ranchman whose dead body was found near a well on his homestead near Branson. Shawl had been shot through the neck and had been dead about ten days, it is believed. Advance reports received by the State Immigration Department from various sources indicate that the total acreage in cultivation in Colorado this year will be somewhat less than that for 1920, due chiefly to unsatisfactory prices for farm products, to difficulty on the part of farmers in obtaining money for financing their operations, to uncertainty about prices for farm labor and to other similar causes. A considerable number of new farms will be put in operation this year which may counteract the decrease in cultivated acreage on old farms. Despite the slump in values of property of all kinds, the assessed valuation of taxable property in Colorado will show a decrease of only about $25,000,000 this year, according to reports from county assessors being received by the Colorado Tax Commission. To date a little more than half of the counties have reported their assessment figures. At the present tax rate the loss in revenue to the state will be approximately $100,000. It had been estimated that the shrinkage in the assessments would be about $100,000,000 at the beginning of the year and the present showing has proved most satisfactory to state officials. Tuesday, Sept. 27, which has been designated Governor's day at the Colorado State Fair, to be held Sept. 26 to 30, will doubtless be one of the biggest days of the entire exposition. The fair commission some time ago extended an invitation to Governor Oliver H. Shoup and to all state officials asking them to attend the fair on that day if possible. A 14-year-old boy, Horace McKnight of Grand Junction, found $7,500 in currency and turned it over to the sheriff. Sheriff Frank Ducray said he believed it was part of the $20,000 taken from the Garfield County State Bank at Grand Valley in a robbery on July 5. The money was in a heavy pouch in the weeds back of the Denver & Rio Grande Western railroad round house. Evening programs for three days of the fair is the greatest innovation of the Western Slope Fair Association for the meeting at Montrose Sept. 19 to 21. This is the first time that evening programs have ever been held. The main feature of the evening programs will be the fireworks displays. In addition to the fireworks, many special acrobatic and other free attractions will be given. The disease known as early blight is doing great damage to the early potato crop in northern Weld county fields. The Pleasant Valley and Kersey districts have been hit by the disease, which kills the leaves and stems of the potato plants. Abnormally high temperatures and frequent heavy rains are supposed to be the causes of the disease. Antonio Archuletta, a miner, is dead at Walsenburg of injuries he is alleged to have received in a quarrel with Amarate Martinez and Arvel Martinez, also miners. Tuesday, Sept. 27, is to be "Denver Day" at the Colorado State Fair at Pueblo. It is hoped by officials of the fair that this day shall be a particularly notable one and that it be utilized in the words of Manager J. L. Beanman of the Fair Commission, "to further cement the friendly feeling between the two cities that has been so successfully started by Denver's friendly spirit shown in the last three months." Arrangements are being made for the accommodation of a full train load of sightseers and the State Fair management will make verybody welcome. Work has recently been started on the erection of Flagler's third elevator, on a site previously occupied by coal bins belonging to the Colorado Lumber and Coal Company. The new elevator is being built by a recently organized firm, the Flagler Grain and Elevator Company, and will be of 15,000 bushel capacity. The new elevator comes at an opportune time, when the grain crop in the Flagler territory will be of record size. Flagler elevators will no doubt handle a large portion of eastern Colorado's grain this year. A bicycle speed test, undertaken by Leonard Brown, a moving picture operator, on one of the paved streets of Fort Morgan, cost him three teeth, a severe shaking and a bicycle. Brown was speeding south in an effort to keep up with an automobile. He turned west but didn't turn soon enough and the wheel struck the curbing. The forks of the bicycle crumpled under the impact and Brown hurtled through the air. He landed on the pavement and his jaw struck the curbing, knocking out three teeth. Formation of Franches of the Colorado-Made Goods Club is to be undertaken immediately in all counties of the state along the lines upon which the women's county councils of defense were organized during the war. This is one of several important new plans of the club in its effort to arouse Colorado women to an increased support of meritorious Colorado products as a means of advancing the prosperity of the state and the welfare of its people. Weld county will produce 5,000,000 bushels of wheat this year, judging from present indications. Figures compiled by the field men of the county assessor show that there are 165,000 acres planted to wheat in the county this year. Because of the large amount of moisture the yield will be from thirty to fifty bushels on the non-irrigated land as well as the irrigated districts. There are 56,000 acres of wheat on the irrigated farms and about 109,000 on the dry land. Pueblo merchants will be given a long time loan of $75,000 from members of the National Retail Clothiers' Association, payment without interest, according to an address made by G. F. Cottrell, Denver clothier, who addressed the meeting of the Rocky Mountain Retail Merchants' Association in convention at Colorado Springs. Decision to hold the next semi-annual meeting in Denver was reached at the close of the meeting. The fire and police departments were called out at Colorado Springs to extract from an elevator Floyd Bailey, an employé of a transfer company, who was caught between a piano and the elevator shaft. Bailey, with an assistant, was engaged in moving a piano. The piano tipped over as it was being trucked into the elevator, and the carriage shot upward, catching the transfer man in the shaft. He was not seriously injured. The gross value of the gold produced by the mines of the Cripple Creek district during the month of August shows from the unofficial figures an increase of $117,211.22 over the gross output during the month of July. Total production during the month of August was $411,792. For the eight months of the present year, January to August, inclusive, the production is given at $3,649,471.98. J. B. Madrill has been arrested and charged with attempting to defraud the United States government through the cushing of war savings stamps not belonging to him. Madrill, it is said, removed the name of the owner from the certificate, substituting his own, and also removed all identifying numbers on the stamps. The officers say he has served two terms at Cannon City one for burglary and one for arson having been sent to prison from Denver.

More than nine years after a complaint was sworn out against him, charging the embezzlement of $2,120 W. J. Vane, 51 years old, was arraigned on the charge before Justice George C. Briggs at Greeley. Vane will not enter a plea until his hearing which has been set for Sept. 22. He is held under $2,500 bond. A total of $850,389.60 was collected through the automobile department of the secretary of state's office during the period from Jan. 1 to Aug. 31, according to a report issued by Secretary Milliken. This is $30,517.60 more than was collected for the entire year in 1920. Of the above total, fees collected from Denver county have reached the sum of $263,206.27. Since the first of the year 34,041 owners have been registered in Denver county.

Poet in Jail Years to Be Free I. W. W. Poet in Jail Years to Be Free Disarmament Demonstration by Women Disarmament Demonstration by Women WASHINGTON.—The establishment of a war plans division in the general staff of the army and creation of a war council have been announced by Secretary of War Weeks, through publication of an order by Gen. John J. Pershing, the chief of staff, directing reorganization of the general staff. General Pershing's order is the consummation of a plan originated by Secretary Weeks whereby there would be organized within the general staff a special war staff ready for the call to war at a moment's notice, with its organization perfected to the point of functioning as it should in time of war. "Through the plan worked out by General Pershing and General Harbord, the assistant chief of staff," said Secretary Weeks, "we will have a THE question of hospitalization of the World war veterans is one embracing many important features which have heretofore been unnecessary in the construction of proper hospitals for the care of civilian sick, according to Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer, the President's physician and military aid. "There is nothing too good for the World war veteran who is trying to regain his health and re-establish himself in civilian activities," he says. "A vocational training program which is carried out on the basis of entertainment and hospital occupation is unfair, both to the World war veteran and to those who have the responsibility of operating such an institution. "Sensible engagement such as will improve both mind and body should be the policy of the rehabilitation forces. To make such a plan workable it is quite important that every institution giving hospital care to the ex-soldiers should have a well-equipped and perfectly arranged special apartment in which vocational training can be carried on. With an academic course as the underlying principle, it will then be quite easy to carry out a commercial course which would lead into all WHEN I GO OUT Give me to me under line that way overhead YEARNING for liberty, Charles Ashleigh, poet and a "follower" of the road" by inclination,勾quishes today a prisoner in Leavenworth, buoyed only by the hope of pardon from President Harding. Through the intercession of Vachel Lindsay, Harriet Monroe, Hudson Maxim, Charles Rann Kennedy, Judge Anderson of Boston, Mary Heaton Vorse and others who believe in his innocence, Ashleigh hopes that Attorney General Daugherty will recommend his pardon to the President. He went to the federal penitentiary on April 25, 1921, to serve a sentence of ten years' imprisonment passed on him MOVEMENT demonstration for disarmament participated in the women of all nations, to be held on Armistice day when the international conference convenes in Washington, has been initiated by organized American working women through the National Women's Trade Union league. Telegrams inviting participation of a score of women's organizations of the United States and the organized women in 48 nations which sent delegates to the Second International Congress of Working Women in Geneva have been sent out on behalf of the National Women's Trade Union league by Mrs. Raymond Robins of Chicago, its national president. "To strengthen the governments in their desire to disarm by giving unequivocal expression of the women of the world," is the purpose of the demonstration. The American demonstration will focus in Washington, where it may take the form of a parade, and it will doubtless be carried out locally all over the country also. The text of the message of the National Women's Trade Union league to the women of 49 nations, signed by Mrs. Robins, contains the following: President Harding has set Armi- well organized war staff, which can function for war at a moment's notice without crippling any branch of this general staff at home. "The plan has been worked out by the two generals who were the best fitted to do it, and in their plan they have embodied the best features of war staff organization as developed in the World war." General Pershing, as chief of staff of the armies, is the head of the war plans division created in the general staff, which will counsel from time to time with the war council, consisting of the secretary of war, the assistant secretary of war, and the chief of staff. The order reorganizes the general staff into the five following divisions, each under immediate control of an assistant chief of staff. Personnel division (first division). Military intelligence division (second division). Operations and training division (third division). Supply division (fourth division). War plans division. The war plans division is to be so organized as to enable it, in the event of mobilization, to furnish the nucleus of the general staff personnel for each of the general staff divisions required at the general headquarters in the field." the practical lines of business, such as banking, accounting, etc. There should be an industrial branch of the educational system. There should be an agricultural course. "Out of these four courses could certainly be applied, separately or jointly, information which would without question make every individual participating more capable, more self-reliant, with greater earning power. "Some have an idea that there is such a difference between the various classes of patients that each must have a separate institution in which to be treated. With that view I am not in accord.

When we remember the joy that went up from the people of all nations in thanksgiving that peace would once more dwell on earth, no other day would lend the same significance throughout the entire world as this anniversary of November 11, 1918 "Since that day the aftermath of the war, with its hunger, suffering and misery, has appalled the conscience and paralyzed the spirit of mankind. This is the great hour for women of the world to help lead humanity out of the darkness that overwhelmed it. "The governments will be strengthened in their desire to disarm if the women of the nations will give unquivocal expression to their will." CLEVER TRICK ALMOST WON Chinese Woman Smuggler of Opium Had New Wrinkle Which Nearly Fooled Veteran Official. It was in Shanghai that I first saw the opium smuggler at work. A trump steamer from India had just berthed, and amid the confusion of rattling cranes and shouting coolies the usual mixed crowd of Orientals descended the gangway. The customs official, a tired, white-faced Englishman, quickly got to work. As each passenger came before him his practiced fingers worked carefully all over their bodies from the head downwards. Down the gangway came an old Chinese woman, almost tottering with the smallness of her tightly-bound feet. She was dressed in the usual black silk trousers and blouse, and carried an old wicker basket under her arm. Her yellow, wrinkled face gazed at the official in reproach as he began his search. "What's in the basket, Ma?" he asked. The almond eyes began to weep copiously. "Me take cat—some velly fine kitten. No chow (food) on ship and kitten die. Lookes 'ere!" And the old Chinese woman opened the basket, displaying a black cat whose yellow eyes blinked wickedly in the light, while six black kittens, all dead, lay around her. "But you don't want to take dead kittens ashore," said the customs official rather roughly. "Throw them away!" The tears of the old woman streamed afresh. "Me velly kind, Wantee bury kitten in garden my house." The customs official looked at the old woman, at the black cat, still blinking, and then at the kittens. He stretched out a lean hand, and despite the spitting fury of the black cat and the cry of alarm from the old woman, picked out a dead kitten from the basket. He held it in his hand, looking at it thoughtfully. "Humph! All the 'kitten' stuffed with opium, eh, Ma? Not a bad idea. You nearly got me there." He called a Chinese assistant, who selzed the basket and the dead kittens, and in a few moments a pile of brown opium was displayed before us.—London Dally Mall. Electric Time-Balls. In the Middle ages the time-ball as a means of marking the passing hours was popular. For the convenience of the men and women of the various courts of Europe a great ball was dropped from the ceiling of the palace throne room at certain intervals. Today, many cities have time-balls in prominent places which drop at noon to warn the citizens of the time. Many of our harbors, Montreal and Quebec, for instance, still use the time-ball to mark noon and other hours. But it remained for a little country in South America, Uruguay, to inaugurate a really modern and efficient system for sending broadcast over the capital city, Montevideo, the time at exactly eight o'clock at night. At that hour, every electric light in the city grows dim for a few seconds, and the residents set their clocks and watches. The system has been suggested in several places in this country, but electricians object on the grounds that the sudden diminishing in the consumption of electricity from the central plant, with the subsequent increase, would form a great "load" on the plant, with possible disastrous results.—Montreal Herald. Simple "Bath" in the Congo. Simple "Bath" in the Congo. Chief Kabongo of the Congo has a harem as large as that of Mwata Yamvo and a palace of beautifully woven basket work, a bath and a garden of gods, all inclosed in a compound with an elaborately woven reed wall about it. The royal bath is a hole in the ground, but it is the only one used for the purpose in all the Luba territory. (And the rivers are infested with crocodiles!) His majesty gets down in the hole, and servants throw buckets of water at him from every direction at once. Then he climbs out with mud sticking to him and pronounces the ceremony a complete success, which it is not, according to the white man's standards. A clay crocodile and some white pigeons are Kabongo's principal deities, and these he worships fitfully, mostly for political reasons. Kabongo's cunning has made him the logical usurper of the throne of Mwata Yamvo in the minds of many sub-chiefs of the Congo. He always manages to turn up on top when seemingly about to lose out. Interesting Old Medal. An ancient medal, bearing the date 1669 and an inscription showing it to have come originally from Mont St. Michel, the picturesque mountain monastery fortress off the coast of Normandy, opposite St. Malo, the birthplace of Jacques Cartier, has been found at Penetangulshene. Historians connect the medal with La Salle. He built a boat called the Griffon at Niagara, and, with Huron Indians and one M. de Monty, toured the Great Lakes, discovering Green Bay, Mich. The Hurons induced him to visit their old homeland, Huronia, which he did, and then packed the Griffon full of furs and sent it back to his Niagara encampment. The medal is thought to have belonged to one of La Salle's sailors. An Artful Play. "Why did you order your eggs hard boiled. You always prefer them soft?" "I'm trying a new system," replied Mr. Growcher. "That waiter has been making a specialty of bringing me things the way I don't want them." LLOYD GEORGE DROPS PARLEY ARRANGEMENTS FOR PROPOSED IRISH PEACE CONFERENCE ARE CANCELED. DE VALERA IS BLAMED PREMIER DECLARES BRITAIN CAN NOT ACCEPT TERMS OFFERED BY IRISH. London.—Arrangements for the proposed Irish peace conference are canceled, but negotiations still are not ruptured. That, in brief, is the story of developments. Eamonn de Valera, Irish republican leader, having reaffirmed his claim to enter the conference as the representative of an independent sovereign state, Premier Lloyd George declares such admission as impossible. He announces cancellation of the arrangements for a conference, and the necessity of his consulting his colleagues. The premier does not close the door to possible resumption of the negotiations. On the contrary, he gives Mr. De Valera and his supporters an最plest time and opportunity to reconsider their position. Declaring that there was but one answer to a claim which would be equivalent to Great Britain's acknowledging Ireland's right to negotiate a treaty of closer association with "some other foreign power," he mildly reproaches the Irish people for taking no step to meet the generous advances of the British government. The fact that Mr. De Valera's colleagues failed to take advantage of this factor is considered a serious aspect. The prospect is that there will be no move now for a few days. It is noteworthy that in the final exchanges the diplomatic methods of sending notes by courier were dropped in favor of the more expeditious telegraph. Mr. Lloyd George's reply, which was telegraphed, says: "I informed your emissaries who came to me that reiteration of your claim to negotiate with his majesty's government as the representative of an independent and sovereign state would make a conference between us impossible. "They brought me a letter from you in which you specifically reaffirm that claim, stating that your nation 'has formally declared its independence and recognizes itself as a sovereign state,' and it is only, you added, 'as representatives of that state and as its chosen guardians that we have any authority or powers to act on behalf of our people." Negroes Fear Race Wars Chattanooga, Tenn.—Jewel Clipper, 8-year-old negro girl, who was responsible for the race-riot at Montlake, after she had wounded four white girls, declared in jail she did not know the gun was loaded. "No, sir. I didn't know that gun was loaded; them white girls was fussin' with me, and I just aimed to scare them," she said. Some of the negro families driven from the village still are camped at the foot of the mountain, and others are said to be hiding in the cliffs. Rays $3,978,205 Income Chicago.—A check for $3,978,206 was paid to the collector of internal revenue by an income tax expert employed by a Chicago corporation, as a payment on the third quarter of the annual income tax for 1920. To Maintain Customs Regime Paris.-Economic penalties and the customs regime in the occupied portion of the Rhineland established in March, scheduled to be lifted, according to the decision by the allied supreme council in August, will be continued, the semi-official Temps says. The decision was conditional upon the acceptance by Germany of the creation of an interallied organization to collaborate with the German authorities for the delivery of licenses for exports and imports. Germany having failed to bring the promised collaboration, the Temps asserts, the economic penalties will be maintained until conditions fixed by the supreme council have been fulfilled. Daylight Bandit Robs Messenger. Daylight Bandit Robs Messenger. St. Louis, Mo.—An armed bandit boarded a street car in the central part of the city, held up a negro messenger of the North St. Paul Trust Company and robbed him of a satchel containing $12,000 in currency and $5,000 in notes and coupons. To Continue Excess Profit Tax Washington.—Corporations would be required to pay excess profits taxes for another year under a decision of the senate finance committee, which finally approved provision in the house bill repealing these taxes as of next Jan. 1, instead of last Jan. 1, as recommended by Secretary Mellon. The committee also inserted a provision in the house measure repealing the capital stock tax, effective next year, and adopted an amendment increasing the corporation. Income tax. Phone Main 4843 J.

THE COLORADO STATESMAN has been very reluctant to join the almost universal hue and cry of members of our group against the very scant recognition being accorded us by the present Republican administration. We have viewed with deep concern the tardiness of President Harding in sending to the United States Senate for confirmation the names of some of our many aspiring Negroes for places held by us for generations prior to the Woodrow Wilson regime. Our anxiety and concern in this regard has approached near to the nerve-wrecking point, especially when we stop and consider the wonderful solidarity of the colored vote at the last election. Great as was our disappointment nationally and for the bigger jobs, we still held to the faith that so far as Colorado was concerned, something worth the while would come our way, especially since we possessed two United States senators who have been outspoken in the claim that they stood close to the President. And evidently there is much to the claim since they most invariably get what they go after for their white friends. So far not a single place of even minor consideration has been found for the Negro. A few days ago one of the recent appointees to a fat federal position, having a number of good places at his disposal, was approached with a view to securing race representation in one of these places. The many excuses offered were really ridiculous and would be amusing were the effects not so tragic so far as we are concerned. The Republican party swept Colorado last year with a most unheard-of majority. Let it not be unduly puffed up with the pride of success. It took all peoples of all races to bring about this vast majority. We of the Negro race approached the polls without division. The white man approached the polls from many angles, but his reward is coming with alarming rapidity. Not a single candidate on the Republican ticket last fall felt that there was a possibility of his election without the "colored vote." He petted and cajoled it then; why forget and neglect it now? Our representation in the state and city governments is most commendable. But we must have more. Our U. S. senators have the power within their own hands. A word from them to their appointees would be all-sufficient. Are they willing to speak the word? Are they big enough and broad enough to open the door? Are they as eager to grasp the hand of the black man today and lead him to a place at the federal pie counter as they were to grasp his hand last fall and urge him to "get the boys in line?" THE COLORADO STATESMAN awaits the answer. CONSTITUTION DAY. THE governor of our state has issued a proclamation setting aside Saturday, September 17, as a day for study of and reverence for the constitution of the United States. It is certainly a well-timed proclamation. The Rocky Mountain News observes: "Never was there greater need than now for respect for the constitution—the whole constitution, be it remembered, not a part of it, not lip service to the constitution; but obedience to the spirit of the whole constitution. "We hear a whole lot of the hundred per cent American. Is he entitled to that distinction, one who violates and aids in the violation of the federal constitution, or any part of it?" "Has society a right to say what part of the constitution shall be respected and what part of it shall be ignored and trampled under foot? If the moonshiner, the bootlegger and their patrons—and without the customer there would be none of the others—shall determine that one amendment was made to be broken, can fault be found with another element in society which says that certain sections of the constitution are unfair and ought not to be obeyed?" Every word of the above is beautiful in thought and conception, but we cannot throw off the conviction that the News is hitting mainly at those who persist in violating the Eighteenth amendment to the constitution. Heaven knows we have a sufficiency of those who look with bald contempt upon this amendment. But the bootlegger and moonshiner are puerile pilkers compared with those who frame grandfather clauses and other acts of disfranchisement in the South. The Eighteenth amendment is sacred in very truth, but no more so than the Fourteenth, Fifteenth and Nineteenth amendments. And, then, what of this very latest movement toward contempt for the expressed provisions of the constitution by a hooded tyranny known as the Ku Klux Klan? Yes, there is need a-plenty for something more than mere lip service observance of the constitution. We already have a large number who have made a sufficient study of it so as to be able to use every known means to violate its sacred articles. For a great many years now "God's laws and man's laws have been dishonored throughout this nation." It is possible that an awakened public conscience is going to call a halt. If so, let us offer the reminder that the need is not so much to study the constitution as for man to search out his heart, cleanse his breast and purge his soul. "The Ku Klux Klan assures to venerate the constitution, but repudiates its fundamental principles by constituting itself a high court of justice from whose midnight decisions there can be no appeal." As long as such a mongrel organization as this finds breathing space beneath the Stars and Stripes just so long will there be need for our state executives to proclaim allegiance to our sacred national document. DEMPSEY AND JOHNSON BOUT SHOT AT CHURCH MEET, NEGRO PLANNED TO AID VETERANS. WOMAN IS DEAD. New Orleans, La., Sept. 14.—Janie Miller, shot Sunday night by her husband, David Miller, in the tabernacle where the National Baptist Convention of Negroes was in progress, died last night. She was the second victim of the shooting, the Rev. J. W. C. Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., secretary of the Baptist Training School, having died Monday morning from a stray bullet. The shooting took place at the closing session of the convention. Miller is held on a murder charge. Boston, Sept. 14.—A proposal to hold here on Oct. 12 a six-round no-decision bout between Jack Dempsey and Jack Johnson was announced Wednesday by George J. Highan, state adjutant of Disabled American Veterans of the World War. Johnson, he said, had agreed and it was believed Dempsey would do so. Highan said he was drawing up a formal application to the state boxing commission. The proceeds would be used for the relief of disabled soldiers. The Less Governments Mix in Business the Better for the Peoples. By VISCOUNT BRYCE. Lecture in Institute of Politics. An experience of many years has led me to believe that governments not only accomplish less in the long run for the trading interests of their respective nations, and do harm by letting their traders rely too little on their own energy, but that those dangers to a government and to a nation as a whole, which seem almost inseparable from mixing national policy with the pecuniary interests of business affairs or classes, are more serious than is commonly realized. © BARRIE & EWNI Money can exercise as much illegitimate influence in democracies as elsewhere. In some of them it can buy the press, perhaps also a section of legislators. Where the standard of public virtue is high, those who want to get something from the government will, to use a current expression, "try to get at the press," while also seeking to induce influential constituents to put pressure on their members and members to put pressure on ministers, the object in view being represented as a public interest, whereas, it is really the interest of a small group. When the standard is low, the group will approach the private secretaries of ministers or even a minister himself. That wars are made by financiers is not generally true, but they have a great hand in negotiations and in fixing the lines of policy, and they sometimes turn it in directions not favorable to true national interests. Governments must, of course, consult financiers, and may often not only profit by their advice, but make use of them. A consortium of banks such as has been set up for China may prevent—and I think it does prevent—evils which would arise if each national group intrigued for its own interest. There are upright men valuable to a nation in high finance as in other professions. You know them in America and we know them in England. They have their sphere of action necessary to the world. But wherever large transactions involving governments arise, the danger signal for watchfulness should be raised. Every government must defend the rights of its citizens in commercial as well as other matters, and secure for them a fair field in the competition which has now become so keen. But the general conclusion which any one who balances the benefits attained against the evils engendered by the methods that have been generally followed, is that, balancing the loss against the gain, the less executive governments have to do with business and international finance the better for the peoples. Looking After the Public Health No Longer Medical Question Alone. By DR. F. P. GAY, University of California. The public health field is very broad and although medical training is desirable for public health work, it is no longer adequate for a comprehension of the field of the public health worker. Many specialized fields, such as sanitary engineering, social economics, industrial welfare, and indeed certain of the medical sciences, such as bacteriology, physiology and zoology, are no longer primarily in the hands of graduates in medicine. The practitioner of medicine himself should no longer imagine that he has vested rights in the field of public health or, indeed, that he can hope to control it, except in so far as his conception of the entire problem is larger than that of his non-medical colleagues. A thorough study of the extent of the field covered by public health shows, as might be expected, that the art of public health has concerned itself primarily with the prevention of disease, but has been somewhat remise in attacking the problems of vice, delinquency, poverty and ignorance. It is foreseen that the scope of public health will develop along these lines. The whole field of social economics has been notably neglected. In this connection the control of poverty, the care of dependents, some aspects of city government and the labor problem may be mentioned. Further consideration of industrial hygiene seems important, not simply from the standpoint of occupational disease and its prevention, but from the aspects of labor legislation and efficiency. A group of studies that may be included under mental hygiene, that is really a branch of public health, are abnormal psychology, criminology, studies of vice and child hygiene and eugenics, which are closely related. "A More Brotherly Distribution of Wealth, Health, Joy and Freedom." By REV. JAMES MEYERS, Wappingers Falls, N. Y. The mission of religion to the present disturbed social order is not so much a message to the poor to respect the sacredness of the property rights of the rich, although it is that also, as it is a message to the rich in the name and spirit of Jesus Christ to bring about a more brotherly distribution of wealth, health, joy and freedom in the world. This cannot be done by charity, nor can it be done by violence. The inequalities of the present economic order can be eliminated only by a more brotherly distribution of the profits of industry at the source of production. Wealth can be reapportioned in a brotherly way only where it is made, in the process of its production, by the granting of a truly living wage, by a voluntary decrease in the interest expected for the use of capital, and by a very material increase in the financial rewards paid to human beings for their labor of hand or brain. Is it brotherly that the financial burden of life should bear down the hardest upon those who have the least? Is it brotherly that a poor man should have to pay the highest prices for all of the necessities of life? Is it brotherly that the day laborer's pay should stop the minute he gets sick and has to stay at home, while the higher-paid officials of the company, although better able to stand the financial drain of sickness, have their salaries continued to them as long as they are ill? Is it brotherly that the highest profits in the real estate business should be commonly derived from tenement property, the least desirable accommodations in the whole city, where the poorest people have to live? The question no longer is how does the other half live? The question has now come to be how does the other 85 per cent live? Hence the necessity for a more brotherly distribution of profits.

NEW WORLD TRIBUNAL CONFLICT DEVELOPS IN SELECTING GERMAN REPRESENTATIVE, IS REPORT. (Western Newspaper Union News Service.) Geneva.—The bench of the International Court of Justice elected by the assembly and council of the League of Nations appears to give general satisfaction to the delegations with few exceptions. Eleven judges were chosen, as follows: John Bassett Moore, United States; Viscount Finlay, Great Britain; Dr. Y. Oda, Japan; Dr. Andre Weiss, France; Commendatore D. Anzollotti, Italy; Dr. Ruy Barbosa, Brazil; Dr. B. T. C. Loder, Holland; A. S. De Bustamente, Cuba; Judge Didrik Nyholm, Denmark; Dr. Max Huber, Switzerland, and Dr. Rafael Altamiray Crevea, Spain. Nine of the judges were chosen on the first ballot. The bench represents all four of the great systems of jurisprudence and nearly every race and tongue in the assembly. New York.—John Bassett Moore announced at his residence here that he would accept election to the International Court of Justice. He is in his sixty-first year. Elihu Root, who had declined election because of age, is 76. Mr. Moore has been professor of international law and diplomacy at Columbia University for twenty years and has had a varied public service involving international relations. He was a law clerk in the Department of State in 1885, third assistant secretary of state from 1886 to 1891, assistant secretary of state in 1898, secretary and counsel of the Spanish-American peace commission in 1898, councilor of the State Department in 1913. He has been a member of the permanent court at The Hague since 1914, and is vice chairman of the international high commission organized at the Pan-American financial conference in 1915. The American candidate, John Bassett Moore, was chosen on the second ballot. His election provoked the greatest applause. The South and Central American combination with Spain carried through its state of four candidates on the first ballot. It became necessary, however, for them to sacrifice Dr. A. Alvarez of Chile, because the council did not put his name on its list. In the re-balloting Dr. Huber of Switzerland and Judge Nyholm of Denmark outvoted him. Eleven Rescued From Bus. Duluth, Minn.—Crashing through the railing on the Interstate bridge, a Duluth-Superior motor bus was prevented from falling into Superior bay, fifty feet below, by the bus rear wheels hanging to a steel railing.

Armour and Company, Swift and Company, Wilson and Company and the Cudany Packling Company announced they had adopted the plan. A statement from the packers said 75,000 workers, or more than 90 per cent of the employés, had voted in favor of the plan. Judge Scores Mob. Greenwood, S. C.—Judge C. Featherstone at the opening of County Court scored the action of a mob which took from the city jail two negro women and whipped them. He charged the grand jury that it is "your duty to investigate the facts in connection with this matter." The negro women who were beaten by a mob of about a hundred and fifty citizens were charged with attacking two white women on the street some time ago. Two Bandits Slain in Texas. Fort Worth, Texas.—Two would-be bandits were shot and killed by federal agents and railroad detectives when they attempted to hold up Texas & Pacific passenger train, fifteen miles west of Fort Worth.

(Prepared by the United States Depart- hot liquid over it and allow it to be moved of Agriculture.) Mix the roast with a ment of Agriculture.) A well-made loaf of bread is a source of satisfaction as long as it lasts. A burnt or pale loaf with a soggy interior temps none but the starving. The following directions for making yeast bread are given by food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. If the directions are followed carefully, a delicious loaf is the result. Cleanliness Essential. Everything connected with the process of bread-making should be scrumpulously clean. All utensils, therefore, should be washed carefully; the liquids should be scalded; the dry materials should be kept from the dust; liquid yeast should be kept cold and well covered; the hands should be washed and the nails cleaned before they touch the dough. Wooden toothpicks, which can be used for cleaning the nails and then thrown away, are a convenient part of the equipment for bread-making. In making stiff dough out of the sponge, or out of the liquid containing yeast, the flour should be added gradually, and what is more important, the dough should be beaten thoroughly, or, when it gets too stiff for this, kneaded, after each addition of flour. If this is not done, too much flour is likely to be added and this spoils the texture of the bread. The time to stop putting in flour is when the dough can be kneaded without sticking either to the hands or to the board, even when they are unfloured. If for any reason more flour than this is added, the dough should be softened again by means of water or milk. Beginners often have difficulty in determining when the dough is ready to be divided into loaves and put into pans. A good rule is to measure its volume. When it is ready to be made into loaves, the dough for each loaf, if made out of hard-wheat flour, should amount to three pints; if made from soft flour, to about two and one-half pints. 1 cake compressed. Fat, if used, 2 tablespoonfuls or yeast. 1½ cupfuls lukewarm milk, water or mixture of them. ½ cupful liquid yeast. Boll the water or scald the milk. Put the sugar and salt (and fat, if used) into a mixing bowl. Pour the BROOMS AND BRUSHES REQUIRE RIGHT CARE Keep Weight Off of Bristles, Straws or Strings. Specialists Recommend That Bristle Brushes Be Washed in Lukewarm Water and Ammonia—Drying Should Be Hastened. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Brooms, brushes, and mops should be hung by strings or screw-eyes fastened to the handles so that the weight does not come on the brushes. The hair and lint that accumulate in brushes, especially in carpet sweepers, may be taken out with an old buttonhook, a coarse comb, or old scissors. Corn brooms may be washed in hot soapsuds, but care must be taken not to let water rust the wires which hold the straws to the handle. Household specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture recommend that bristle brushes be washed with lukewarm water and a little ammonia (three teaspoonfuls dilute ammonia to the quart) or borax (one teaspoonful to the quart) and then rinsed in clear water. Water is likely to injure the back of a brush and to loosen the cement by which the bristles are held in place in the less expensive makes. The brush, therefore, should not be covered with water but be washed by sousing the bristles back and forth in shallow water; it should be dried with the bristles down or with the weight resting on the side of the brush. The drying should be done quickly but not in an intense heat. Drying in sunshine whitens light bristles. The weighted bristle brush used in polishing floors should be washed occasionally to prevent the not liquid over it and allow it to become lukewarm. Mix the yeast with a little of the lukewarm liquid and add it to the rest of the liquid. If convenient, set this aside in a warm place, not over 86 degrees Fahrenheit, for one hour; if not convenient to set it aside, add the flour at once, putting in a little at a time and kneading until the dough is of such consistency that it sticks neither to the bowl nor to the hands. This requires about ten minutes. Dough should be kept covered while it is rising, for otherwise a crust will form on top and interfere with the expansion. Some housekeepers brush the dough over with melted fat, but this is not necessary if the dough is well covered. Cover, and allow to rise one and three-quarters hours at a temperature of 86 degrees Fahrenheit; it may be better to set it at a lower temperature, but the lower the temperature the longer the time required for the rising. Cut down the dough from the sides of the bowl; grease the hands slightly. Knead a little and set aside to rise again for one hour. With a good bread flour, the dough should treble its bulk in each rising. With a soft wheat flour, it should not rise much beyond twice its volume. Divide into portions, mold and place in greased pans of standard size (one and one-half quarts). Allow to rise until a light touch will make a slight dent. With good bread flour this happens when the dough reaches the top of the pans. Bake for 50 minutes. Short Sponge Method. Bread can be made during the day by what is known as the "short sponge" method. All the ingredients are the same as for the "short or straight-dough" process, but only half of the flour is added at first. When this mixture, which is called a "sponge," is so light that it will fall at the slightest touch, it is ready for the addition of the rest of the flour. Overnight Sponge Method. Use the same proportions as for the short process, except in the case of the yeast, which should be one-eighth cake of compressed yeast for each loaf. Use water rather than milk. In the evening mix the yeast with water, salt, and half of the flour, and beat thoroughly. Cover and place at a temperature of 65 degrees to 70 degrees Fahrenheit, or that of an ordinary room. In the morning add the sugar and the rest of the flour and proceed as in the case of the short process. accumulation of dirt and wax from darkening the wood. Mops may be washed in hot suds and rinsed in clear, hot water; they should be quickly dried. Dry mops may be oiled, or oiled ones renewed, by pouring a few drops of light lubricating oil or any good floor oil, into an old dish or a tin box and setting the mop on this for a day or two; or the mop may be sprinkled with a little oil and allowed to stand until the oil spreads through the strings. Dustcloths should be washed frequently, both because a little dirt comes out more easily and because dirty ones often leave as much dirt as they take up, and may scratch highly polished surfaces. The heavy woolen cloths used in polishing floors may be soaked for an hour or more in hot water and soda, using three tablespoonfuls of soda to a gallon of water, and stirring the cloths occasionally with a stick; then they should be washed in hot soapsuds and finally rinsed in hot water; a little kerosene or light lubricating oil added to this last water will soften the cloths. All Around the House A stuffy, dusty, overcrowded attic attracts pests of all kinds. There is no better vegetable than kohlrabi for the vacation garden. A bit of thyme added to the filling for a fowl will give a good flavor. Even a spoonful of cereal is worth saving to thicken soup, gravy or sauce. At least one window on each side of the cellar should be propped open for ventilation, and the window, of course, screened. Copyright, 1921. Western Newspaper Union.

Around this serve oysters wrapped in bacon and cooked until the bacon is crisp. When oysters are not to be had, serve veal birds in the same way. Eggs and Mushrooms With Hollandaise Sauce.—Lay a nicely poached egg on rounds of well buttered toast; sprinkle lightly with salt aod paprika and pour over Hollandaise sauce, to which a cupful of mushrooms, which have been cooked in butter, have been added. Every task wrought out in patience Brings a lesson to the doer. Joy comes to the waiting worker. But eludes the swift pursuer. THINGS WORTH KNOWING. After cooking fish wash the dish well and add clear water with a tablepoonful or two of vinegar, and let it boil a few minutes and the odor will disappear. ```markdown ``` When ripening fruit such as pears, tomatoes or any fruit, place in a wire cake rest or a dish drainer. In this the air surrounds the fruit so it is not necessary to turn it, and there will be no brushed surface resulting from a flat, hard surface. A basket of well-cured hay is an ideal receptacle for ripening pears, but it will be necessary to watch and turn them. To keep brown sugar moist, place a bag of prunes in the same box with the sugar. The prunes will give off enough moisture to keep the sugar from drying out and lumping. The broiler pan is easily cared for if there is kept in it when using enough water to cover the bottom. All fat that drips into it will be saved by skimming off when cool, or if not to be used may be put into the soap fat. There is never any danger of a blazing pan if this method is followed. When using the meat grinder, finish by grinding through it some dry bread or cracker crumbs. This will clean the grinder quite well; by using the coffee percolator brush. For one who travels often it is wise to keep the small bag packed with the necessities; adding the clothing takes but little time, but the forgotten tooth brush or tooth paste is so easy to leave out. When varnishing the floor, place the pail or dish of varnish used in hot water to keep it thin; it spreads better and goes farther. A wall cleaning preparation which may be made at home and is equal to any proprietary one is this: Sift one heaping cupful of flour with a tablespoonful of salt. Mix one tablespoonful of kerosene, two of vinegar and two of ammonia with one-half cupful of warm water. Blend with the flour and cook until smooth, stirring constantly. Knead as you would bread dough, and when smooth break off into balls and rub the paper as you would use an eraser. The KITCHEN CABINET Copyright, 1921, Western Newspaper Union. Many men and women owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties.—Spurgeon. PIES FOR EVERY OCCASION. The best of pie filling will never make up for the lack of a good crust. For those who will not use lard, or prefer butter, the following recipe will be usable: Pizza Butter Pastry. Take one-half cupful of butter, one and one-fourth cupfuls of pastry flour, one-half teaspoonful of salt, four tablespoonfuls of ice water, one teaspoonful of melted butter, and one tablespoonful of flour. Chop the butter into the first quantity of flour, which has been mixed with the salt, after the butter is well blended add the ice water, mixing with a knife. Roll out the pastry, spread with the melted butter and sprinkle with the tablespoonful of flour and roll it in. Roll up like a jelly roll and put away long enough to chill. Then cut in halves, roll out two crusts, and when the pie is made brush the top with milk. Hot Water Pastry.—This is one of the quickest made pastries, but will need to stand on ice to chill before using. Make it the night before needing it or early in the day in which it is to be used. Take one cupful of lard, one teaspoonful of salt, one-half cupful of boiling water; pour over the lard and add three cupfuls of flour; mix well and set away to become firm. This makes two covered plies and one crust for an open ple. The bits left from rolling may be returned to the pastry and used again without hurting its texture. Sliced Pineapple Pie.—Take two-thirds of a cupful of sugar, one cupful of thin cream, two eggs, one tablespoonful of butter, one cupful of sliced pineapple, diced, one and one-half tablespoonfuls of cornstarch. Hent the cream, saving out a little to mix with the cornstarch, add the cornstarch and cook until thick. Cream the butter and sugar, add the eggs, slightly beaten, add to the first mixture and cook until thick. Now add the pineapple, cool slightly and pour into a baked pastry shell. Cover with meringue and brown or serve with marshmallows over the top, lightly browned. Strength of character is not mere strength of feeling: it is the resolute restraint of strong feeling; it is unyielding resistance to whatever would disconcert us from without or unsettle us from within.-Dickens. SEASONABLE GOOD THINGS. The new turnips and kohlrabi are such good eating that they should be more often served. If one desires them to be especially attractive, on them with a vegetable scoop into small balls. Cook three cupfuls of them in boiling water until tender, drain, rinse with cold water to which a little vinegar has been one desires them to be especially attractive, on them with a vegetable scoop into small balls. Cook three cupfuls of them in boiling water until tender, drain, rinse with cold water to which a little vinegar has been added; if rutabagas are used, the vinegar or lemon juice adds flavor. Fry a small onion and one carrot, very small, chopped fine, stir a tablespoonful of flour into the butter used for frying the vegetables, cook until smooth, add a little chicken broth and milk, then add the turnips and when well heated, serve at once. Beans With Tomatoes.—To one quart of fresh lima beans, shellled, add one tablespoonful of butter, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, one fourth of a pound of salt pork, chopped fine, and three-quarters of a pound of fresh tomatoes, with one small clove of garlic. Cover with boiling water and cook until the beans are tender. Just before serving add one tablespoonful of minced parsley. Molded Cheese Salad.—Soak two tablespoonfuls of granulated gelatin in one-fourth of a cupful of cold water, then add one-half cupful of boiling water and stir until dissolved. When just beginning to set, add three drops of tabasco sauce, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of mustard, one-third of a teaspoonful of salt, one-half cupful of grated cheese and one-fourth of a cupful of chopped plentions. Bent one-half cupful of cream until stiff, fold in the gelatin mixture carefully and pour into small baking powder cans which have been wet with cold water, to mold. When stiff turn out, slice and serve with lettuce and any prepared salad dressing. Combination Salad.—Mix well one cupful of minced celery, two cupfuls of diced apple, one tablespoonful of peanut butter, and one-third of a cupful of mayonnaise. Arrange on lettuce and garnish the top with six large raisins. Serve with more mayonnaise. Cracker Sandwiches.—Cook two squares of chocolate with two tablespoonfuls of water until smooth; add one cupful of powdered sugar, one-quarter of a cupful of pecan meats, chopped, a teaspoonful of butter, a little salt, and, if more moisture is needed, add water. Spread on crackers and serve with tea. Nellie Maxwell SOMETHING NEW Is giving a United Certificate for each 25 cents spent with him for cleaning, pressing, repairing or tailoring.

THE SLEEVE'S THE THING IN NEW AUTUMN FROCKS THE FASHION OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY it at the sides of the skirt, so quiet and so simply designed that it may play the part of either the all-day dress or the afternoon frock. Shirred bands of georgette on the sleeves and panels insures enough bouncy infusion and the picture leaves nothing to be described in this simple slip-over dress, with bodice tied at the back of the neck with narrow cire ribbon ties finished with tassels. The narrow girdle is made of the crepe. appears to forget sleeves and leaves them out entirely but in other apparel—the sleeve's the thing. For afternoon frocks they have an importance only rivaled by their prestige in coat styles, and all sorts of things are happening to them; in shape they are endlessly varied, in materials they are, more often than otherwise, different from the bodice, and nothing is too unusual or elaborate for their decoration in clothes for formal wear. Soft black velvet for the formal afternoon or dinner dress, finds this mode of elaborate sleeves the very best sort of ald to beauty, especially in the company of long, floating panels. The sleeves may be of satin or of velvet in a contrasting color, and richly embroidered, with deep borders at the bottom of the panels to match them. In all-day dresses designers follow the lead of the afternoon frock in emphasizing sleeves and panels—but with the moderation that befits garments designed for utility. These two style polls are evident in the pretty frock shown in the illustration. It is of black canton crepe, with full sleeves of black georgette and full panels of COATS IN SEVERAL STYLES LOOK TO FUR AND EMBROIDERY L Embroidery and fur are more or less conspicuous on coats for street wear. In the coat pictured they are used with fine moderation on a coat of brown duvetyn with wide collar and cuffs of sealskin. It has capacious dolman sleeves and contrives a short cap across the back, of which the sleeves form a part. Embroidery is required to make the most of this design, and it appears in the same color as the coat and of the much-admired braid variety. This is one of few coats that appear to narrow toward the bottom and it is one of those handsome and quiet models that is equal to almost any time or place. THE creators of coat styles, having agreed to disagree in the ing agreed to disagree in the matter of the silhouette for fall, presented at the beginning of the season coats that hang straight from the shoulder, coats that are belted, others with a close-to-the-figure bodice and cape or cape-like coats. It appears that fashion decrees that there is room for all of these varieties and the "individual may follow her own sweet will be choosing whichever style she finds most becoming and most suited to her needs. In addition to these new modes the season takes a glance backward—a "ligering, longing look behind," evidently, and presents coats like the wrappy affair pictured above. In all of these styles sleeves are capacious and fur and embroidery used in an infinity of ways for trimming. Julia Bottomley COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN NEWSPAPER UNION Sleeves and collars in coats, as in suits, appear to have focused much of the designers' attention on themselves. They are emphasized by embroideries and by emplacements of fur and endless variations in shape. The wide sleeve, flaring at the waist, is most important and is never without some embellishment. Underskirts of Bright Color. The underskirt of bright color crepe in blue, red or green will be much used in fall frocks of cloth or crepe, and to the bright color is added metal embroideries.
